Nonfiction revamps English education

Alexander KenneyStaff Writer

Inside the mind of some ACC students is an idea of how to make an impact on sustainable energy, and in April of this year they could win $100,000 for it.

The ACC Clean Energy

Challenge is a competition in which groups of students across the southeastern Unit-ed States develop a business plan for green energy com-panies and present it at the challenge finals, which will be held at the McKimmon Center on April 9.

The competition will select

a business plan which cap-tures the commercialization potential for a technology that could make an impact on the clean energy space, according to the ACC Clean Energy Challenge’s website.

Sponsored by the Depart-ment of Energy’s Office of En-ergy Efficiency and Renew-

able Energy, the competition will include projects related to renewable energy, energy eff iciency improvements, advanced fuels and vehicu-lar models.

Megan Greer, associate di-rector of external relations of the N.C. State Entrepre-neurship Initiative, said the competition could have huge repercussions for energy re-search and development ev-erywhere.

“It as created to promote entrepreneurship in the realm of clean energy,” said Greer.

The deadline for students to enter is March 1. Individual students can enter, but enter-ing as a group is encouraged. Those who enter must submit a one-page executive sum-mary and brief video pitch of their business plan on the ACC Clean Energy Challenge website.

The Challenge is not re-stricted to ACC students; it is open to any student enrolled in any college or university in the southeast region. A group will be chosen to represent each school, with 11 spots reserved for ACC schools, and three spots reserved for other schools in the region.

Wade Fulghum, assistant director of new venture ser-vices at the Office of Technol-ogy Transfer, said the odds are good for the students who enter.

“There will not be more than a handful of students who apply, so they have a good chance of making it to the finals,” said Fulgham.

“Launching a startup com-pany is difficult by itself, but doing it within the clean en-ergy space adds another layer of complexity. Launching a startup in the challenge space is a really good learning op-portunity whether they win or lose.”

A $100,000 award will be given to the winners of the Challenge. The winning team will also proceed to compete

in the national U.S. Depart-ment of Energy National Clean Energy Business com-petition.

Last year’s winner from the southeastern region was the University of Central Florida. Fulghum said that with the high-caliber universities that comprise the Research Tri-angle Park, there is a good chance that the winner could be local.

Semi-finalists will be an-nounced on March 15, and 14 teams will be chosen to compete in the finals, which will be held at the McKim-mon Center from April 8-9. On April 9, the groups will be narrowed down to the final four, and the winner will then be chosen by a panel of expert judges.

Students interested should attend the information ses-sion being held from 4-5 p.m., Friday, Feb. 1. The session will be held at the Springboard In-novation Center, Corporate Research I on Centennial Campus, 1021 Main Campus Drive, 2nd Floor.

Last year’s winner was not from the ACC, but this year Greer and others are looking to change that. However, not many students from the Uni-versity have entered yet.

“We are the host campus,” said Greer. “We need a stellar team to represent us.”

Think back to your high-school English class where fictional works by Shake-speare and Hemingway were the norm. Nonfiction narra-tives may soon replace these English classics, according to a new initiative that College Board, an educational insti-tution, will soon undertake.

According to National Public Radio, College Board President David Coleman has been a key influence in the plan that will redesign the high school English cur-riculum. The strategy of the Common Core Standards Initiative will add more nonfiction works to students’ reading lists to better prepare them for university-level coursework.

Curriculum and instruc-tion graduate research as-sistant Shea Kerkhoff Vessa said she believes the initiative will push high school teachers to increase the rigor in their classrooms.

“I think a lot of good teach-ers out there are already do-ing this,” Vessa said. “Those who aren’t will re-examine what works to try to align what they are doing in their classes with the expectations

of college.”The initiative also seems

to place heavy emphasis on rhetoric. Daniel Synk, a graduate assistant in Com-munication, Rhetoric and Digital Media, hones in on this concept when teach-ing his English 101 classes. Synk said he witnessed more rhetoric taught as opposed to literature while he was an

undergraduate and master’s student at the University of Maryland, and as a doctoral student at N.C. State.

“I think the best way to pre-pare for college coursework is for students to have practice with independent thinking, question what is presented to them, and think about im-plications of things instead of what they are explicitly,”

Synk said.Synk said he agrees with

the initiative in the context of connections through sec-ondary sources.

“Connections between texts are an important part of academic research, and I think that it is an impor-tant part of research at N.C. State,” Synk said.

Synk said he also noticed an increased trend in recent decades toward nonfiction in English education.

“I don’t see this as a prob-lem, but I don’t think that fic-tion should be removed from the curriculum,” Synk said.

“English is the only com-pulsory class where students are encouraged to think dif-ferently, to be imaginative and creative, and if we take fiction out of the English cur-riculum, where are our kids going to get that?” Vessa said. However, neither Synk nor Vessa said the initiative would take fiction away from the high school English cur-riculum completely.

According to Vessa, imag-ination and creativity are strengths of the United States’ education system.

“I think students are pre-pared in that they have been given a variety of courses to take, there are other coun-

tries where that isn’t true,” Vessa said. According to Ves-sa, allowing students to take both fine arts and technical courses is valuable because it gives students the chance to develop their strengths.

Vessa said she still values the teaching of nonfiction, but favors an interdisciplin-ary approach in regard to English edu-cation.

“History and science teachers need to teach literacy skills because the English department is too packed already,” Vessa said.

Employing Vessa’s ap-proach may allow high school English teachers to focus on other areas that are necessary for student success in college. According to Synk, his stu-dents generally have the most trouble deciphering academic prose.

Both Synk and Vessa said they believe the success of the student has to do with a number of factors.

Often, standardized tests measure success. According to an NPR report, “Reading scores for American students

have dropped dramatically …”

“I think people rise to the highest expectation on them. It’s hard to increase the ex-pectation on yourself if out-side expectations are low,”

Vessa said.Synk said

education-al leaders might need to examine the “met-r i c s ” o f how stan-dardized te s t s a re scored and what these

scores mean.Regardless of how success

becomes reality, one thing is for sure: English education will change.

“I think the focus will change to looking at the power of language versus the beauty of language,” Vessa said. Vessa hopes that this change promotes reflection on what students should be getting out of their high school experience and which methods work best in order to achieve this experience.

Fire injures 4, 43 left homeless

Tyler Gobin Correspondent

The Institute for Emerging Issues, which convenes lead-ers from business, nonprofit organizations, government and higher education to dis-cuss and develop action steps to combat the challenges to North Carolina, has moved to the second floor of the new James B. Hunt Jr. Library.

Founded in 2002 by for-mer Gov. Jim Hunt, now the chair of the IEI, the organiza-tion now extends beyond its original medium, the Emerg-ing Issues Forum, which was established in 1986 by Hunt. The forum was devised as a means to gather leaders to discuss and debate challenges facing the state. The institute was established to take the ideas created in the forum and put them into action.

In the past, the forum has attracted speakers including former President Bill Clin-ton, former Speaker of the House Newt Gin-grich, The Ne w Yo rk Times col-umnist Tom Friedman a nd Steve Forbes, among others.

In one of its core initiatives, the Institute made it a prior-ity to tackle the challenges facing Generation Z. Gen-eration Z comprises people born between the years 1990 and 2000. According to the IEI, these individuals are fac-ing a much more competitive global climate than previous generations, which will af-fect the standard of living and economic stability the members of this generation face.

As part of the mission state-ment found on the IEI’s web-site, “The opportunities for Generation Z are shrinking, and it is our goal to find new pathways through which they can prosper.”

John Coggin, an Emerging Leaders Fellow at the Insti-tute, said he hopes to bridge the gap between students and the IEI, as young people are

often affected by new policy initiatives.

Undergraduate students who are looking to make an impact can begin with one of multiple options. The Emerging Issues Prize for Innovation challenges high school and college students to devise a solution for a spe-cific problem proposed by the Institute, with the winners of the competition walking away with cash prizes worth up to $5000.

IEI holds a Discovery Fo-rum each year in downtown Raleigh in which students can present their ideas and network with leaders from the state.

“IEI realizes the impor-tance of engaging young professionals,” Coggin said.

“With the IEI located right here on campus, [it] is an in-carnation of our mission, and a physical representation of what we do statewide,” Dana Magliola, a spokesperson at

the Institute, said.

“Students can get in-spired, get informed and collabo-rate with the I E I ’s ne w multimedia teaching en-

vironment,” Magliola said.The Institute for Emerging

Issues Commons offers three different areas of learning: Emerging Voices, Emerging Connections and Emerging Ideas.

In Emerging Voices, stu-dents can learn where a citizen or organization has taken a challenge facing the state and made a successful impact. Emerging Connec-tions allows the user to inter-act directly with raw objec-tive data. The Emerging Ideas area is where people are able to comment on other people’s collaborative ideas and input their own ideas into touch screen panel tables. “You’ve been inspired, you’ve been in-formed, and now we want to enable action,” Magliola said.

COURTESY OF INSTITUTE FOR EMERGING ISSUESVisitors will hear from North Carolina leaders like Governor Jim Hunt on how this state has been able to overcome obstacles in the past, the actions it took to move forward and how we can do it again.

COURTESY OF INSTITUTE FOR EMERGING ISSUESVisitors will hear from real North Carolinians about the challenges that matter most to them, and the steps they have taken to overcome them.

A fire at Mission Valley Apartments Friday after-noon left 43 residents with-out a home and injured four others, according to officials.

The apartment complex, at the intersection of Avent Ferry Road and Centennial Parkway, caught fire shortly after 4 p.m., according to a city spokesman. Firefight-ers controlled the flames by 5 p.m.

The four injured, includ-ing a Raleigh police officer, were taken to WakeMed and Rex Hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.

The fire started on the first f loor and was caused by a resident smoking in bed, ac-cording to Raleigh Fire Divi-sion Chief Ronny Mizell.

Police officers were on hand to evacuate residents; some of them were unaware that the

building was on fire. To make matters worse, the

residents of Mission Valley Apartments were evacuated into a barrage of snow, freez-ing rain and ice. For their re-lief, the Red Cross provided food, shelter and clothing to the displaced, and a nearby Burger King provided warm shelter and food.

Some of the occupants on the second and third floors were allowed to return to their home late Friday night.

Smoke damaged every apartment on the first floor, as well as the other two stories above where the fire started, according to officials.

According to The News & Observer, this was not the first incident to take place in the apartment complex in recent memory, as a flood took place earlier this month as a result of bursting pipes.

Rivals in denial

I will always remem-ber the sound that awoke me on the

fourth night of my stay in the Everglades. I like to describe it as a series of “kerplunks,” moving through shallow water at the pace of a horse trot. I had been canoeing

al l week with N.C. State’s Outdoor

Adventures in the region of the Gulf that is appro-priately known as the Ten Thousand Islands. The modest landmass that we settled on for the night was pencil thin, with only 50 feet separating us from the Atlantic Ocean on ei-ther side.

I sat up, my achy mus-cles protesting the pre-vious ten hours of pad-dling. The commotion was growing in volume, coming closer to our tent. It was the sound of some-thing big moving through the water, and its size was confirmed when I heard a deep, snorting breath no more than 20 yards from us. As a touch-screen tap-ping city boy, the kinds of skills that would have al-lowed me to identify this creature were largely left out of my education — fear filled in the blanks for me as I whispered to my two tent-mates:

“Could be a bear, didn’t they say there were some

bears out here? Or it might even be a gator, just because we haven’t seen one yet doesn’t mean anything, in fact that even makes it more likely! It’s definitely a gator!”

My tent-mates were sea-soned veterans of the wild, and they didn’t share my feel-ings. They quickly convinced me that it was most likely a dolphin stuck in shallow wa-ter. This made me feel much better; my screen saver was a Dolphin at one point. I felt calm and a little dumb for worrying so much. What-ever it was though, it held its silence for the remainder of the night.

We never did find out ex-actly what that creature was, but I’ve missed the way I felt that night ever since. We Humans have made a habit of compartmentalizing the natural world, and I know I’m guilty of this. Ask me where the nearest example of nature is and I’ll point you in the general direction of Um-stead Park, but up until that moment I never fully realized how blurry the line between myself and the environment actually is — perhaps my for-mal education has lined too much of my thinking with sidewalks.

But I’m not writing to you today to make corny, extended metaphors about the natural world. Instead I’d rather kick off a North Carolina State University environmental column the right way: by admitting to

you that I’m a gas-guzzling, product-consuming Ameri-can who can’t tell the differ-ence between a dolphin and a bear. Even among the envi-ronmental advocacy crowd, I’m not alone in this. If you look past the hemp laptop case, many environmental critics have done their share of ranting on mass-market computers that have been shipped from China (my MacBook will vouch for me on this one). Contradictions aside though, there is a point to environmentalism other than the kind you do with your fingers.

Too often, the planet is modeled as a collection of economies, governments and ecosystems that have lim-ited capacities to inf luence one another. This disjointed perspective has resulted in our current paradigm; the most heavily consumed en-ergy sources have high en-vironmental costs that are not reflected in their market prices. In addition, these dis-tortions make it inexpensive for individuals to consume disproportionate amounts of resources, and as a result we are creating a deficit of an-other kind. While a course-correction is no simple task, the most important decisions can be made every day by in-dividuals, rather than in a boardroom. There is some-thing empowering about that.

WHY UNC WON’T HAVE STATE AS A RIVALFrom a current UNC-CH student

To the Editor:

First of all, I will admit, as a current freshman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, your publication of The Daily Tar Hell on Friday was an almost perfect parody of our school-wide publication. The way it treated the publication’s liberal and egotistic attitudes was comical and did give me a few laughs. Second, congrats on your win Saturday night. The best team showed up, and I can’t wait to see the next game Feb. 23 in Chapel Hill.

The reason I am writing this is concerning the overall attitude of a large percentage of Tar Heels, who say that State is not a rival and basically treat you guys in Raleigh like dirt. I’m writing this to inform you that this is not only wrong, but it is based in the overall attitude, which is fueled by school officials and alumni.

On one’s first day, he or she is constantly told how he and his other classmates are the best students from the state, and the percentage of us that are from the top ten percent of our high school classes. It gives us confidence about being here, but it also gives the impression that students at other schools, like State, are not as smart as us. Even though some statistics from U.S. News backs up this statistic (which ranks UNC as 30th and State as 106th), it is still not right to treat you guys as idiots. Think about how many kids get to go to college, and you begin to realize that anyone who makes it to this level is pretty darn smart. It’s an unfair assumption on anyone’s part to have that belief.

Another reason for this attitude is that UNC has,

to quote former Florida State basketball player Sam Cassell, “a cheese-and-wine crowd.” What I mean by this is the fact that a lot of the alumni show up, but they sit down and cheer instead of getting into the game like the student section, which is a very small percentage of our stands compared to you guys. When I watched Saturday night’s game on ESPN, you could tell that PNC Arena was rocking. While watching a game at the Dean Dome, sure it starts off pretty well, but once a big enough lead forms, the place quiets down a fair amount and most people sit down. And when the going gets tough, the fans get out of the whole game. Throughout the entire football season, we could only fill Kenan Stadium two-thirds of its max capacity, which may have something to do with the fact that we could not go to a bowl by our own doing. There was one game that was, for the most part, sold out, but a good quarter of the stands were in an intimidating shade of red.

But I think for the most part, the main reason the students do not consider you a rival is because you’re not Duke. There was a time in college sports where the students would chant “Go to Hell, State,” but that changed when Duke became a large basketball powerhouse in the nineties. Since then, you’ve been ignored and have been the butt of our jokes. But after Saturday night, I believe it’s time that Tar Heel nation considers you guys over in Raleigh a serious rival. We must push our built up egos to the side, and realize that just because we think your place isn’t as good as ours, it doesn’t necessarily mean we are better than you. I hope Saturday dawns a new era in college rivalries, with an old rival who is tired of getting mistreated.

See you guys in February,“Alex”Current FreshmanUNC-Chapel Hill

If you’ve ever argued with a UNC-Cha-pel Hill fan, you’ve probably heard it already: “Our rival is Duke, not N.C.

State.” The irony in this statement, among many others from the UNC fan base, stems from the idea that if we weren’t their rivals, then why do UNC-CH fans need to constantly remind themselves of it?

We’re not asking for UNC-CH fans’ scorn, but rather for the respect that competitive ad-versaries merit. It’s easy to remember N.C. State’s most recent basketball rut, but to ig-nore us as rivals is to ignore sports history.

As sports writer Thad Williamson put it, there was a time when N.C. State’s “David Thompson, not [UNC-CH’s] Michael Jor-dan, was the high-flying legend young play-ers dreamed of becoming … a time when fans would circle Carolina-State and Duke-State games on their calendars just as fast — or faster — than the semi-annual Carolina-Duke games.”

We said it once: We’re back. To ignore our talent and competitiveness is to ignore Satur-day’s scoreboard. UNC-CH head coach Roy Williams summed up the game best, saying, “We stunk.” For the head coach to mod-estly express this unseen sense of humility, the fans should catch on too. But the Wolfpack didn’t win only because the Heels played poorly — it won because it’s a strong team, one of the best in the nation.

Our basketball team is not an adjunct de-partment to the Ag Institute, and State played a game to prove that point. Nevertheless, the

Wolfpack played a skillful game. We’re not asking for UNC-CH fans to boo our team

when it enters the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill Feb. 23, we’re just asking them to recognize the Pack as more than another team that’s not Duke.

Another common com-plaint UNC-CH fans bring up includes, “N.C. State fans are so obnoxious.” Though the Wolfpack is backed by many outspoken fans, if we were treated as more than

just aggies and techies, we’d have a lot more respect for the Tar Heels. Sportsmanship is based off of mutual respect, and it takes both

sides to recognize each other and reciprocate civility.

In October, Dexter Strickland, a Tar Heel point guard, gained notoriety from Wolfpack fans for his comments via Twitter about N.C. State’s favorable preseason ranking, No. 6 in the nation.

“[State is] the least of our worries,” Strick-land tweeted. “[If they] beat us one year… then they can talk smack. Until then, you can’t put them in the mix.”

As chants lampooning Strickland proliferat-ed throughout Saturday’s matchup, it became clear that Strickland’s trash talk isn’t going to stop State from achieving, and as sportsman-like rivals, we let our shots on the court speak for us. Maybe in a month, UNC-CH can do that too. Of course, that may not be enough to defeat us — but we sure would like to see the Tar Heels take a shot.

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.

scorn, but rather

for the respect

Kaitlin MontgomeryStaff Writer

In a small office tucked away in N.C. State Univer-sity’s Veterinary Health Complex sits Jeannine Moga, the veterinary school’s new clinical counselor. Moga supports a unique client dy-namic working with families experiencing the loss of four-legged friends.

A graduate of University of Minnesota’s Department of Social Work, Moga joined the College of Veterinary Medi-cine three months ago.

“There are some great opportunities here within NCSU to do community out-reach,” Moga said. “There’s a lot of impressive work going on within veterinary medi-cine. This is a very accom-plished research program and I know that State is very well-known across many pro-grams for doing a lot of com-munity and intro-school col-laboration. That was all very attractive to me.”

Moga’s original plan was to practice animal-assisted ther-apy. It was her training at the veterinary school across the street from the University of Minnesota that sparked her interest in the human-animal bond.

“I was really interested in working with people and their pets and there was a great diversity when work-ing there with pets and their families,” Moga said. “I sim-ply never left the field.”

According to Moga, the bond between humans and animals is incredibly unique. While in some aspects it can be compared to the human-human bond, the human-animal bond is dynamic.

“Human beings are re-ally tricky creatures and in relationships with each other there are lots of ex-pectations,” Moga said. “We

sometimes have great diffi-culty creating trust with one another, there’s often a lot of judgment. Animals just ac-cept us for who we are.”

Moga explained that ani-mals play a consistent role in our environments and provide us with a sense of stability.

“It’s a very dynamic and in-teresting bond for me to look at,” Moga said.

While the idea of having clinical counselors stationed at veterinary offices has been around for some time, the ac-tion of doing so is relatively new.

“The first program started probably about 30 years ago,” Moga said. “It has taken some time to grow and it’s pretty rare to have a mental health professional or social services professional integrated into a veterinary setting.”

Moga’s clientele come to see her for a number of reasons; she sees families or indi-viduals that come to the vet-erinary complex for reasons varying from behavioral to medical care.

“People who come here often need help figuring out what to do, they need to bet-ter understand their options,” Moga said. “Sometimes they need to troubleshoot around finance be-cause spe-cialty care is an incredibly expensive and prohibi-tive cost for a lot of people. We have to make sure all the fam-ily members are on board and agree on what to do next.”

According to Moga, ani-mals are in almost every aspect of our lives. Unbe-

knownst to us, we allow our furry friends into areas of our lives that we couldn’t fathom letting our friends and fam-ily into.

“Animals a re pret t y much every-where with u s , e s p e -cially when we’re home,” Moga said. “There’s an intimacy with animals that we don’t of ten have with other humans.

Animals are inherently trust-worthy; they don’t blab our secrets and they don’t try to interfere in our relationships,

and so what I often will tell grieving people is, ‘how many family members of friends do you allow to crawl under the covers with you at night or follow you into the bath-room?’”

Moga explained that it’s this sense of entirety that makes the loss of a pet so comparable to the loss of a human.

“Animals are plugged into parts of our lives we don’t often allow other people to be part of and for that rea-son alone losing them as a completely different feeling,” Moga said. “It’s just as chal-lenging as losing a human loved one.”

Moga stressed that her job isn’t just for those grieving the loss of a pet, there’s more

to her job description.“It’s not just grieving pet

owners, a lot of times this is what I would normally call medical social work. Social workers have been involved in medical settings for many years in human hospitals. In many ways what I do here is a form of medical social work. The only difference is my pa-tients have four legs.”

Like that of any social worker, Moga’s close contact with grief and loss can follow her home.

“It’s very emotionally in-tense work, working with suffering patients that can’t tell you what’s wrong is re-ally tough sometimes,” Moga said. “A big part of my job here is helping the other col-leagues of mine, the veteri-

nary team members, so that we don’t take our work home, feeling some of the negative effects of this emotional in-tensity.”

The emotional intensity is what reminds Moga of her work’s importance and pur-pose.

“There are very few sup-ports in the community sur-rounding people and animal issues,” Moga said. “There is a distinct lack of understand-ing of how important these relationships are. Everyone needs someone they can talk to, someone who won’t judge what they’re going through, or think they’re crazy for be-ing so close to the animal that they have. I’m just glad I can do that.”

CAIDE WOOTEN/TECHNICIANJeannine Moga, a clinical social worker whom specializes in human-animal relationships and animal loss, sits in her office at the NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine Friday, Jan. 18. The NCSU CVM is one of just a few veterinary facilities throughout the country that provides social services to animal owners.

One of the challenges par-ents face with a young child is finding time to get out and enjoy themselves. While some may have a family member or friend willing to look after their son or daughter on a Saturday night, others face the challenge of finding someone they can trust their kids with.

That’s where Simply Sitting comes in. Established in De-cember 2011, Simply Sitting serves to help families find a reliable babysitter for either a one-time visit or as part of a long-term service.

The company, founded by Ginny Hager, an alumna with a degree in communi-cations, has grown to include cities across North Carolina, offering a service to parents looking for extra help.

Hager first began babysit-ting when she was 13 and came to enjoy taking care of children.

“I came from a really large family so it sort of fell into my lap babysitting my cousins and sisters,” Hager said.

Hager continued to take babysitting jobs into college as a source of extra income, but stopped after graduation, when she took a job as a lo-cal real estate agent. However, she continued to help net-work other babysitters in the area. After a few years, Hager decided that this provided a unique career opportunity and started Simply Sitting.

Though her new business is not directly related to her degree, Hager said that her background has provided useful skills.

“I definitely think a lot of the courses I took in com-munications and the differ-

ent ways of email marketing and communicating have helped,” Hager said.

Since its founding, Hager has found her past experi-ences and relationships have been the source of much of the company’s growth.

“It’s really just been word-of-mouth, friends and con-nections,” Hager said. “People have v isited my website and Facebook page.”

O n t h e s i t e , b ot h families and sit ters can sign up to take part in the service. For families, Hager hopes to help assuage fears of leaving a child with a stranger.

In order to achieve this,

babysitters that become part of the Simply Sitting network are subjected to a full screen-ing process, which includes a background check, references and a personal interview. It is Hager’s personal involvement with the babysitters that she said helps her stand out from other services.

“ I u s e personal referrals,” Hager said. “I know all the babysit-ters in my network.”

Beyond just know-ing all of the sitters, Hag-er provides other meth-

ods to increase the personal connection to customers. The Simply Sitting Facebook page is frequently updated with

parenting advice and articles, such as common flu myths and how to get kids interested in reading. The website also offers a monthly newsletter.

Now that Hager has made connections across the state, she plans to focus on increas-ing the number of families in the service. Hager said she also plans to expand the workforce by hiring ad-ditional employees, as she is currently the only official employee of Simply Sitting.

“Right now the goal is to stay in North Carolina,” Hager said. “This year is dedicated to doing more ad-vertising with schools and daycares and stuff like that. It’s only been a year, so I have high hopes.”

Though there’s still a lot of work ahead, Hager is confi-dent that she will be able to develop Simply Sitting into a definitive service in North

Carolina, thanks to her pas-sion for taking care of chil-dren and connecting families with trustworthy babysitters.

Cold weather doesn’t stop fans from attending GameDay.

Students braved the be-low-freezing weather Sat-urday morning to attend ESPN College GameDay at PNC Arena, the first time the show has ever visited Raleigh.

The hosts included Rece Davis, Richard “Digger” Phelps, former head coach of Notre Dame from 1971-1991, former Duke Blue Devil Jay Bilas and NBA veteran Jalen Rose.

Phelps addressed the crowd after walking out onto the court, telling the Wolfpack faithful “this is your day.”

Among the crowd were a

small number of North Car-olina supporters, who were routinely serenaded by boos or chants by the State fans. The most common chant of the day was “Wal-Mart.”

Amanda Burke, a senior in animal science, was one of the hundreds of students who started lining at 7 a.m., with ice still on the ground from Friday’s adverse weather con-ditions. Temperatures didn’t rise above freezing until well into the middle of the day.

Many students attempted to line up the night before but were asked to leave the prem-ises by security.

Country music singer and sophomore at N.C. State studying communication, Scotty McCreery, treated the fans to a small performance, with fullback Logan Winkles and new football head coach

Dave Doeren on his side, playing guitar.

Along with McCreery, basketball head coach Mark Gottfried made a cameo appearance and spent a few minutes talk-ing, live, with the hosts of GameDay.

Burke said her favorite parts of the experience were the balloon hand-outs and t-shirt tosses during the show. She was one of the lucky fans in at-tendance to catch a shirt.

“It was an awesome ex-perience, getting to see everyone from ESPN,” Landon Childers, a se-nior in sport manage-ment, said. “Knowing it was nationally televised was a lot of fun.”

On Jan. 22, 1913, the N.C. State Red Terrors de-feated the North Carolina Tar Heels by a score of 26-18. After 221 games fol-lowing that first matchup, the Tar Heels managed to win 147 of those rivalry games, including the last 13 encounters.

On Jan. 26, 2013, four days after the 100th an-niversary of the game that launched a rivalry, the No. 18 N.C. State Wolfpack (16-4, 5-2 ACC) has found itself back on the winning side of the century-old ri-valry by defeating the Tar Heels (13-6, 3-3 ACC), 91-83. This marks the first time since 2003 the team has beaten both No. 1 Duke and North Caro-lina at home in the same season.

“It’s a significant win for us right now,” head coach Mark Gottfried said. “We have a long way to go, but you have to take steps along the way, and this is a good step for us.”

“There was so much momentum going into the game,” junior guard Lorenzo Brown said.

Brown led the way for State, scoring 20 points and 11 assists, earning him his second-consec-utive double-double and his fifth of the season.

This marks the fifth time this season Brown has led the team in scoring.

Junior forward Calvin Les-lie and senior forward Rich-ard Howell also recorded double-doubles in the game. Leslie scored 17 points and made 10 rebounds, while Howell registered 16 points and brought down 14 boards.

This marks the first time since the 1991 NCAA tour-nament that the Pack has had three players have double-doubles in the same

game. Chris Corchiani had 25 points and 11 assists, Tom Gugliotta had 16 points and 11 rebounds and Kevin Thompson had 13 points and 11 rebounds when State beat Southern Mississippi, 111-85.

Howell now has 12 double-doubles on the season and 25 for his career, the most since Todd Fuller registered 39 from 1993-1996. In addition, his six offensive rebounds move him up to second all-time with 342, surpassing Fuller’s 340 and Kenny Inge’s

341.Senior forward Scott Wood

hit three three-point shots and three free throws to earn 12 points in the contest. Wood now has 281 career three-pointers, five behind former Miami Hurricane Jack McClinton for 13th all-time in ACC history.

The Pack’s freshmen made large contributions to elevate the team to victory. Guard Rodney Purvis, despite get-ting injured in the opening minutes of the second half,

scored seven points, two rebounds and a steal in 29 minutes of action. Forward and “sixth starter” T.J. War-ren exploded off of the bench with 19 points and three re-bounds in 27 minutes.

The first half of the game was dominated by the Pack, who began the game by going on a 6-0 run. The Tar Heels were held to 26 points in the first half. UNC-Chapel Hill sophomore James Michael

Friday, the N.C. State gym-nastics team (1-2-1) sent the West Virginia Mountaineers (2-3) home with a loss while the Wolfpack took the win by scoring 195.200 points, a sea-son-high for the team, against West Virginia’s 195.150.

Juniors Diahanna Ham and Stephanie Ouellette led the way for State, finishing first and third respectively overall in the meet. Ham ended the meet with a score of 39.125 points, and Ouellette finished with 38.975 points. Freshman Michaela Woodford left the meet with 38.700 points, fin-ishing fourth.

The Pack began the event on the vault. Ham led the team with 9.850 points, sec-ond overall in the contest. Se-nior Morgan Johnson tied for the third place slot with 9.800 points. West Virginia fresh-man Jaida Lawrence earned first on the vault with a score of 9.875. Ouellette and fresh-men Michaela Woodford and Brittni Watkins rounded out the rest of State’s scores with 9.775, 9.750 and 9.725 points respectively, which helped it take an early lead with a score of 48.900-48.600.

The uneven parallel bars were the next stop for the Pack. Ouellette and senior Rachel Fincham tied for first place with a score of 9.775. Mountaineer senior Kaylyn Millick and junior Erica Smith tied with Ouel-

lette and Fincham for first as well. Watkins, junior Kristen Harabedian and Ham scored 9.750, 9.725 and 9.675 points respectively to conclude State’s scoring on the bars, scoring a season-high 48.700 total points and maintaining the team’s lead for the meet by a margin of 0.175 with a score of 97.600-97.425.

The outcome became un-certain following the balance beam. West Virginia took the top three spots in the event while Ham shared the third place spot with Smith. Mil-lick and West Virginia junior Amanda Carpenter placed first and second respectively. Fincham and Woodford both scored 9.750 points while Ouellette and junior Han-nah Fallanca each scored 9.700 points. West Virginia came back to take a slim lead by a score of 146.300-146.250.

The Pack shut the door on its victory following the f loor exercises. Watkins stole the show with a score of 9.850, placing first in the event. Ham tied with Mil-lick for third place with 9.825 points. Sophomore Lane Jarred earned 9.800 points for State, and Harabedian and Ouellette each scored 9.725 points. The Pack scored a total of 48.925 points on the floor, the highest event total for either team in the meet.

McAdoo, who later fouled out of the game with 17 seconds remaining in the game, had two fouls within the first two minutes of the game. McA-doo finished the game with 13 points and 11 rebounds. With 1:39 remaining in the half, State had its largest lead at that point with 23 points and led by 19 at the half.

“Our message at halftime was that I did not want our players to become passive,” Gottfried said. “We wanted to attack them and run and just keep pushing it.”

Once the second half began, it seemed that the Pack was going to continue pushing the

lead. Within the first seven minutes, State outscored the Tar Heels, 16-7, to increase its lead to 28, the largest of the game. But from there, the Heels made a charge to turn the tide.

“I k ne w they would make a run a t s o m e point,” Gott-f r ied sa id. “They have t o o g o o d players for that not to happen, so at some point they were going to able to get some shots and make a run, which they did, but we were able to stop it.”

The Tar Heels outscored the Pack, 57-46, in the second half, led by sophomore guard P.J. Hairston who scored 12 points off of the bench during the last seven minutes.

Brown, who maintained control of t h e b a l l throughout the first half, turned the ball over five times in the lat ter por-tion of the game. Leslie led the team in giveaways

with seven on the night. Con-versely, he also led the team in steals by taking the ball away three times.

The closest Chapel Hill got was within five points with 36 seconds remain-ing when McAdoo dunked it to bring the score to 85-80. Three Tar Heel fouls, including McAdoo’s fifth, brought the Pack to the charity stripe three times where Wood made two-of-two free throws and Brown made four-of-four.

Following Hairston’s missed three-pointer with seconds remaining, State ended the game and the team’s losing streak by letting the clock run out.

Childers said it was “defi-nitely worth it” to bear the cold in order to be a part of the experience.

Fans who attended were enthusiastic throughout the program, including singing along to the N.C. State band. Students held up a variety of signs, including famous ac-tors, current players and mes-sages to taking a stab at the

hated rival Tar Heels.Before ending the program,

the hosts of the show are al-ways asked to pick the winner of the featured game. Satur-day morning, all of them picked the Wolfpack.

The crew was correct, as

the Wolfpack went on later that night to defeat its long-time rivals, 91-83, the first time in 13 games, in front of a sold-out PNC Arena.
