The goal is to raise awareness about the impact students can make on energy con-sumption on campus.

Allie LandryStaff Writer

Campus dorms are having a contest to see who can use the least amount of energy.

October was National Energy Awareness month, and the Office of Energy Management celebrated by launching the Change Your State awareness campaign.

David Dean, the outreach and com-munications co-ordinator for the Office of Energy Management said there have been several re-cent and ongoing initiatives at N.C. State to help re-duce energy use.

“The goal is to reduce electricity demand by 5 per-cent across cam-pus,” said Dean. “This would result in a savings of 1 million dollars for the University.”

The campaign will focus on energy for the first few years, and then will move on to other initiatives such as promoting public transportation. For the time being, however, Dean said he hopes students become aware of why energy reduction is so important to the University.

As a part of the Change Your State campaign, Dean and others have or-ganized the ‘Do it in the Dark’ energy saving competition. The competition was launched Oct. 1, and will con-clude Nov. 30.

“This is a two-month competition between 13 dorms across campus. The hall that has the highest reduction in energy consumption per person is the winner,” said Dean. “Updates are posted every Tuesday in the Techni-cian.”

There will be a campus-wide win-ner, as well as winners in different regions of campus, according to Dean.

Natasha Vos, a senior in ani-mal science and a resident advi-sor for Bagwell Hal l, said the Quad promotes sustainability throughout the year, but had its own energy com-petition in light of National En-ergy Awareness

month. Vos hopes this will help them in the Do it in the Dark competition.

“During the month of October we compared energy bills to see which dorm used the least amount of en-ergy,” Vos said. “Bagwell won.”

Vos said she reminds her residents to turn off their lights when they are not in their rooms, and to unplug any unused appliances such as computers. Her hall discussed community energy

consumption at the beginning of the semester.

“We established in the commu-nity agreement that we were going to turn off the lights as much as possible in the bathroom,” Vos said, “and to generally be mindful about energy usage.”

Dean said the Office of Energy Management also commemo-rated Campus Sustainability Day on Oct. 20. Aside from presenting a webinar about how individuals’ behaviors can make a big impact on campus, they also held energy rushes.

“Energy rushes were thought of by students,” Dean said. “People went through residence halls, talk-ing to folks about the Do it in the Dark campaign, and telling them to ‘pull the plug, hit the switch, and shut it’.”

Vos said events, such as energy rushes, are useful reminders about

University officials trend DemocratElection Day is today. Wake County is divided into 20 precincts for voting. Each precinct has different political races, but

some races that are consistent throughout Wake County and the state. Statewide, a U.S. Senate seat is open for election. Elaine Marshall, a Democrat; Richard Burr, a Republican; and Michael Beitler, a Libertarian are all running for the U.S.

Senate seat. There is also a Court of Appeals Judge seat open for election. Because of the election, the Technician researched how the administration at the University is registered, and when the last time they voted was. There is an online tool from the North Carolina Board of Elections that can be used to see voter affiliation and the date University administration last voted.

Journalist Dahlia Lithwick talks about Islam, its effects on American society and the war on terrorism.

Sagar SaneStaff Writer

Slate.com and Newsweek Su-preme Court correspondent, Dahlia Lithwick, spoke about Islam and the war on terror-ism.

According to Traciel Reid, public and international affairs associate professor, this is the fifth year of the speaking series.

“The focus mainly was on the policies of U.S. government on the global war on terrorism. Is-sues about the effects of Islam on the U.S. society were also discussed,” Reid said.

The talk was based mainly on the legal aspects of the is-sues like how the United States courts work, what is the gov-ernment’s policy on global war on terrorism and the impact of Islam on the American society.

“It seems that the justice de-partment does not know what to do about these terrorists like the 9/11 masterminds, the time square bomber and many oth-ers,” Lithwick said.

According to Lithwick, America is facing the problem of terrorism right from 1980s.

“How can it be that post 9/11, we are more afraid of terror. Rather than American values driving the laws of this coun-try, shifts in law and its policies have let us to doubt our fun-damental system of American values,” Lithwick said.

Lithwick calls the effect of terrorism on American mind set as ‘Terrorism Derangement Syndrome’.

Lithwick said, “We are more afraid today than we ever were before 9/11. Today, they [ter-rorists] are categorized as those who can be tried in civilian courts and those which ‘need’ to be tried in military courts.”

According to Lithwick, fight-ing war on terror is not at all easy. It is something that the President inherits.

“The difference between radical and peaceful islamists has gone from the minds of Americans. Freedom of wor-ship seems to have been sus-pended altogether,” Lithwick

Three chemical engineering students have decided to do their bit for the plans of a biofuel plant being developed by a local firm.

Sagar SaneStaff Writer

Maverick Biofuels, a Chapel Hill based company has made plans to develop a bio fuel plant in the state of North Carolina.

Seniors of chemical engineer-ing department have decided to design a part of the Maverick’s project.

Sam Yenne, CEO of Maver-ick Biofuels said there are three major components of the proj-

ect. “The students from N.C.

State will be designing one of the three components of the project. It is still in the incep-tion phase,” Yenne said.

Steven Perreti, associate professor in chemical and bio-molecular engineering depart-ment said it is a good opportu-nity for the students.

“Russel Irvin, Jeremy Pres-son and Randolph Flexner chose this project they would like to work on. This will be a two semester project, ending in the spring of 2011,” Perreti said. “They will be working on a piece of the process analysis part of the project.”

According to Perreti, the stu-

dents started working on the project about three weeks back.

“[The stu-dents’] cur-rent work in-cludes doing background technol-ogy survey of the process model. Their real work will k ick of f in the next se-mester. The output of this project would be a process model for the Maverick’s proj-

ect,” Perreti said.Perreti said

that this is a nice oppor-tunity for the students.

“It is a nice opportunity as they will ga i n s ome practical knowledge a b o u t t h e actual tech-nology. This technology mentorship experience will certainly he lp [ s t u-

dents] in future,” Perreti said.

According to Yenne, this bio fuel plant, once completed will be a great boon to the state.

“Currently, we are planning for a pilot plant that will em-ploy about 20 people. The com-mercial plant will employ about 50 people, which will generate approximately 20 million gal-lons worth bio mass product,” Yenne said.

Currently, only few cents per dollar of fuel remains with the state of North Carolina.

“Major part of the revenue generated from the fuel goes to the countries from which this fuel is bought. Few cents of it remain with the state. If we produce bio fuel in the state, all the revenue remains in the

state, which can be channelized to development of North Caro-lina,” Yenne said.

According to Yenne, the long term benefits of this project are huge.

“We are very happy that students of N.C. State are con-tributing their bit towards this project. I feel this will definitely benefit the students,” Yenne said.

Perreti said, “I hope in fu-ture, companies like Maverick offer more of such opportuni-ties to students of the univer-sity. Hopefully, we will design another part of the bio fuel project next year.”

{ }OUR VIEW

Today is the last day to vote. The institution of voting is the basis of our

government and defines our country. It is the citizen’s way of ensuring their voice is heard. While having a voice is great, students also need to establish their opinions about issues and vote based on the important is-sues.

Budget cuts affect everyone’s life, but as students of a state land grant institution, we feel it the most in our education. Class sizes increase, faculty don’t have funding to pay for research and facilities repairs and construction come to a stop. Students need to look at the candidates who will look out for them when the state

budget goes to the chopping block.

State midterm elections are important, but often forgotten. This year’s state election is very important for North Carolin-ians though. The North Caro-lina General Assembly will be redrawing district lines in the state because of the 2010 Cen-sus redistributions. This means the majority party has a better chance of picking its own vot-ers.

Graduating seniors, gradu-ate and doctoral students are about to head into the work-force and their main concern

is most likely the economic climate of the country and the job market. They need to criti-cally consider how their can-didate plans to make jobs and stimulate the economy.

While there are many posi-tions on the ballot, a U.S. Sen-ate seat is open. Richard Burr (R) and Elaine Marshall (D) are up for election. Burr did not support any of the stimulus plans and Marshall believes the way to deal with the economy is to make cuts where necessary and make appropriate invest-ments. Marshall said, “When capitalism takes over, we get

economic collapse,” while Burr voted to override presidential veto of Farm Bill and extend unemployment benefits from 39 weeks to 59 weeks in 2008.

Many factors are going to play into how students vote, but they need to be informed on the issues most important to them. Numerous websites have information about the candidates and the headquar-ters for the parties are available to answer questions about can-didates. With all the informa-tion available, if students are informed and don’t vote, they can’t complain because they forfeit their voice when they don’t vote.

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.

Voting about more than politicsTHE FACTS:In 2006, only 37 percent of N.C. voters voted in the midterm election. In 2008, 70 percent of voters participated in the presidential election. There are 6,192,385 people in N.C. registered to vote out of an estimated population of 9,380,884.

OUR OPINION:The national and state budget, student loans, economic policies, spending and jobs are issue that affect college students. Students should educate themselves on issues that are important to them and vote according to their beliefs.

The Pack backs Senator Burr, according to poll

In 20 08, Pres ident Obama became the first Democrat to win North

Carolina’s electoral votes since Jimmy Carter won i n 19 76 . Many cred-ited young, first-time voters for

making his victory pos-sible. Voter turnout is ex-pected to drop as it always does in midterm elections. Republicans are expected to win a majority of the U.S. House of Representatives, and possibly retake the US Senate, too. How do State students plan to vote?

According to the Pack Poll, Richard Burr is pre-ferred by 40 percent of N.C. State undergraduates, while Elaine Marshall is preferred by just 28 percent of them. The Libertarian candidate was backed by 6 percent. Surprisingly, 26 percent of students polled said they were undecided just a week before the election, sug-gesting Marshall might still have the ability to catch Burr on Election Day.

But before Democrats get too excited, Burr appears to benefit from the so-called “enthusiasm gap.” Similar to national trends for adults, Burr’s lead over Marshall widens among those most likely to vote. Students who said they were probably or definitely going to vote, or had already voted, sup-ported Burr over Marshall. Conversely, Marshall polls

about evenly with Burr among students who said they proba-bly or definitely would not vote.

Further inspection of the polling data supports the view that a Burr victory will mate-rialize primarily by mobiliz-ing fellow Republicans to vote, rather than through converting Obama supporters to conserva-tive causes. Students who call themselves Republicans, for ex-ample, were simply more likely to say they planned on voting compared to Democrats.

For state offices, Republican candidates will benefit from who turns out to vote. The generic Republican candi-date for state House leads the Democrat candidate 48 percent to 39 percent among students most likely to vote. Republi-can candidates not only ben-efit from the enthusiasm gap, but also from being perceived as better at handling more of the important issues facing the state. Respondents were asked which state level political par-ty, Republicans, Democrats or neither, would do a better job handling six issues. A plurality felt Republicans would do bet-ter than Democrats at handling the economy, jobs, the budget and illegal immigration. Dem-ocrats were seen as better only at handling public education. Students were evenly split on which party would better han-dle the issue of health care, and most said there was no differ-ence between Democrats and Republicans when it came to reducing corruption.

Undergraduate students’ po-litical feelings are very similar to adults in N.C. Two recent

polls of likely voters, one by the Civitas Institute, a right-leaning group that conducts non-partisan polling, and another by Public Policy Polling, a Democratic group, f ind that N.C. voters prefer Re-publicans for the General Assembly by margins of 8 to 11 percent over Democrats. Likewise, a survey of North Carolina adults conducted by Dr. Cobb, the professor of the Pack Poll, finds that although adults’ political preferences are evenly di-vided, likely voters are sid-ing with Republicans.

Overall, the implications of the Pack Poll findings suggest there could be sig-nificant changes coming to state level politics. If the Republicans do win both chambers in the North Carolina General Assem-bly, the state will be facing a “divided government”, where a Republican Gen-eral Assembly will try to coexist with a Democratic Governor, Beverly Purdue. On this last day to vote, stu-dents can make a difference about the direction of their state government and deter-mine who will represent us for the next six years in the U.S. Senate.

Tyler Baxter and Emily KonidesGuest Columnists

Are your views really your own?

College is meant to be a time when students are exposed to new ways of

thinking and begin developing their own opinions on impor-tant matters. Results from

the Pack Poll, however, sug-gest most stu-dents owe their opinions to their parents.

According to the poll, 80 per-cent of students who have two Republican parents also iden-tify themselves as Republican. If both parents are Democrats, then a whopping 91 percent of students are self-identified Democrats. Interestingly, stu-dents were more likely to “de-fect” from their parent’s party identification if both parents were Republicans. We find that 16 percent of students with two Republican parents call them-selves Democrats, but just 4 percent of students with two Democratic parents call them-selves Republicans. The higher percentage of students who become Democrats compared to their parents’ party identi-fication might be attributed to the perceived liberal atmo-sphere of a college cam-pus.

Beyond these effects on students’ partisan-ship, paren-tal inf luence appea rs to af fect their opinions on t he i s sues . We a s k e d students, for example, whether they fa-vored or opposed the recently passed health care reform bill. Overall, 34 percent said they favored the legislation, 44 per-cent were opposed, and the rest had no opinion. Yet, 69 percent of students with one or more Democratic parents and no Republican parents said they were in favor of the reform bill. Conversely, 65 percent of students with one or more Republican parents and no Democratic ones opposed the bill. This pattern is repeated for almost every issue we asked about, including feeling about legalizing gay marriage, the war in Afghanistan and the legalization of marijuana.

We also investigated this re-lationship directly by asking students what they believed to be their parents’ opinions on the issues. On health care, 93 percent of students who re-ported strongly favoring the reform bill said their mother supported the bill too. All but 4 percent of students who said they strongly opposed the bill thought their mother favored the bill. Our results for stu-dents’ fathers’ opinion were very similar, though not quite as determinant as their moth-ers’.

We find a majority of students following in their parents’ foot-steps as they make voting de-cisions in 2010. According to the Pack Poll survey, 69 percent of students with two Republi-can parents will be voting for Richard Burr, and 64 percent of students with two Demo-cratic parents will be voting for Elaine Marshall. Likewise, 73 percent of students with two Republican parents plan to vote for a Republican for the State House, while 83 percent with two Democratic parents plan to vote for a Democrat.

Overall, these results indicate ma ny s t u-dents have yet to devel-op opinions about politics that are inde-pendent from their parents’. Of course , students shouldn’t be expected to always devi-ate from their

parents’ views, but certainly many expect to see greater in-dependence than this.

Wes Householder is a senior in political science and is in Michael Cobb’s Public Opin-ion and the Media in Ameri-can Politics class. House-holder worked with the class to develop and release a poll to test students’ opinions on the election and their politi-cal feelings. Of 4,000 surveys released, 1,149 responded and the margin of error was plus or minus 2.9 percent. Please send your thoughts about parental effects on voting to letters@technicianonline.com.

FeaturesAn essay contest to provide an introduction to chef Anthony Bourdain’s new book seeks to answer the question of “what is cooking well?”

Mark HerringStaff Writer

Famous chef and author, An-thony Bourdain, has spent the last 10 years of his life travel-ing around the world, trying to experience and reveal the importance of cuisine and cooking for various cultures and countries.

The host of the Travel Chan-nel show No Reservations has come out with a new book called Medium Raw, which is more or less a stream of Bour-dain’s witty and curious con-science trying to sum up what it really means to cook well.

Residents of the Triangle, if you’re avid cooks, fans of Bour-dain or interested in the bow-els of the restaurant business, t a k e n o t e . Bourdain will be in Raleigh Nov. 13 at the Progress En-ergy Center to talk about his new book.

Just recently, Bourdain and Harper Col-lins Publish-ing conducted an essay contest to find an up-coming food aficionado/writer to come up with an introduc-tion to the book, revolving around the book’s theme—what is cooking well?

What does it mean to cook well? That is just about as am-biguous as asking, “What does it mean to be an interpretive dancer?” However, after delv-ing deeper into the question, I don’t think Bourdain was look-ing for the straight skinny on cooking.

Even throughout his long list of books and in his com-mentary on his television show, Bourdain intentionally avoided generalizing the significance of cuisine. Defining cooking

well is nearly impossible, but the emotions and sentiments it evokes provide a more tangible metric.

Bourdain’s new book is a com-pilation of what he refers to as “love letters to the industry.” However, through this assort-ment of essays and commen-tary Bourdain has accumulated over the years, the chef does not aim to talk just about cooking, but also the progression of his life.

“Medium Raw is a book kind of about me trying to come to terms with where my life is now and where I was then,” Bourdain said in a promo for the new book. “I’m working through conf licting feelings about the business that I was in for about all of my adult life since I was 17. The business has changed. There is a lot of prestige. People now care about what chefs think.”

Only 30 years ago, Bourdain was addicted to hard drugs and trudged through his career. Upon straightening up his act,

the crude yet clever chef s ta r ted to write a book about t he hidden and unsung ex-periences of working in the restau-rant busi-ness. Kitchen Confidential,

which was published in 2000, completely turned Bourdain’s life around.

“Ten years ago, I guess Kitch-en Confidential had just come out and I was very much under the impression, ‘I better keep my day job,’” Bourdain said on his television program. “When I wrote the thing I had no ex-pectation that it would sell out-side of New York. I was hoping at best for a little cult success in the New York area.”

The instant success of Kitch-en Confidential threw Bourdain into celebrity-chef stardom, yet he was reluctant to catch onto the fame.

As a loather of the kitchen personalities on the Food Net-

work, Bourdain continued to cook a few years while he cau-tiously started his new show No Reservations with the Travel Channel.

Since the beginning of No Reservations, Bourdain has produced more than 100 episodes in which he travels around the world, sampling local cuisine varying from street food to Michelin-rated dishes from some of the best restaurants in order to try to comprehensively reveal a cross section of culture.

Medium Raw heavily incor-porates the experiences Bour-dain recounts in his television show and delves deeper into his thoughts about the restaurant business.

In response to Medium Raw, food writer and dear friend of Bourdain, Michael Ruhlman posted a video on his food blog of him rambling why it is im-portant to cook.

“Look at where we are today,” Ruhlman said. “We basically gave our cooking away in the 1950s to the multinational corporations. We let them do the work for us. We bought the advertising that said, ‘We’ll make it so easy for you.’ But what happens when we don’t cook for half a century? Again, we forget how important how food is.”

Bourdain’s essay contest was thought-provoking for me, and after making little manifestos to myself, I came to the realiza-tion that the one thing people like Bourdain and Ruhlman have dedicated their lives to, cooking, surrounds us.

These days it’s not hard to find a slew of people shoveling cheap and nasty food into their faces while in a rush. Not that there is anything wrong with cheap food or eating on the fly, but it seems that many people have forgotten what it means to enjoy food and, moreover, what it means to cook—well or not.

We all have become alien-ated from true cooking. I have Orwellian nightmares that humanity is losing touch with its “human” aspect, and that we’re all regressing back into cultureless beasts.

“Cooking made us human, cooking can keep us human and cooking can make us even more human,” Ruhlman said. “I think that being human is a good thing. I think that cook-ing making us even more hu-man is a better thing!”

Bourdain and Ruhlman make the point that cooking is an integral part of culture, but sadly the most transient.

Picasso’s painting of Guer-nica will be in Madrid forever and there will always be a copy of Charles Dickens’ works, yet cooking must be learned, prac-ticed, and appreciated. Recipes can vanish within generations if not passed along.

Bourdain stresses this point in his sarcastic remarks in which he refers to many chain restaurants as “TGI Mc-Fun-sters.” His witty yet poignant statement does have validity. Why have we disregarded our relationship with food and cooking? Cuisine existed prior to language. It is what separates us from beasts. I’m not going off on some Nietzsche-inspired tangent, but unlike wild ani-mals, we have the capacity to enjoy food, so we cook.

However, with all human-ity nonsense aside, Bourdain ironically makes the point that we are ravenous animals. Food plays a primal role in the grand scheme of life, which basically boils down to eating and repro-ducing—it’s no wonder they complement each other so well.

Nonetheless, we are ravenous animals with some compas-sion and generosity. We cook to share. That is what it is all about.

When food tastes good, it is easy to act smug and describe it unintelligibly like notes on the side of a wine bottle. How-

ever, when food is truly good and honestly cooked, there are no words expressed.

There are no “notes of cin-namon” or “essence of black fruits.” It is just pure, un-adulterated emotion—nostal-gia, first love, guilt or maybe absolute self-loathing. Ever eaten a street gyro? The taste is trivial. It is all about the per-sonal disrespect—done ever so deliciously. That is what makes cooking an art.

Cooking provides us with a catharsis for comfort. We cook to express the subtle feelings that manifest themselves in hunger.

Good cooking is not a prod-uct of good intentions in the kitchen. Hell is full of those, like the Krispy Kreme burger

combo from the State Fair. Rather, cooking well is the respect of established recipes and techniques that have sur-vived the trials of history and a healthy dose of creativity to transcend the prescriptions of a traditional kitchen.

Good cooking can be found all over the place, whether it be some in Michelin-rated restau-rant or from the comal of some dodgy taquería. So what does all of this mean? I don’t really know and I won’t pretend to.

the importance of maintain-ing a sustainable lifestyle.

“Aside from the obvious, such as turning off my lights when I’m not in the room, I’ll usually unplug small ap-pliances because they draw a charge even if not in use,” Vos said. “I’ll leave the fridge on,

of course.” Vos said she also recycles and

keeps a compost bucket in her room that she disposes of in a vermicompost.

Dean said he stresses the importance of unplugging cell phone chargers, coffee makers, and other small appliances when not in use. Phantom loads account for between 14 and 16% of an electric bill.

“People think sustainability is hard, but it’s not hard. It’s easy to do one thing and make a big impact,” said Dean.

For the Office of Energy Management, the toughest challenge is getting their message to all students.

“We have roughly 41 million people on campus every day. That’s a city,” Dean said. “Our initiatives are hopefully going to be a model for other universities and municipalities.”

Two University alumnae opened the online boutique four weeks ago to bring affordable fashion to the masses.

Laura WilkinsonFeatures Editor

Ever since they were children, Mor-gan Genty and Caroline King dreamt about creating their own fashion busi-ness. Their dream came alive in the form of Vestique, an online boutique the two N.C. State alumnae opened less than a month ago.

“Basically we both really, really loved fashion from the get-go. Once you get to college and you’re trying to choose a major, it’s kind of a hectic period in your life,” Genty said. “We’re both avid online-shoppers and online bou-tique shop-pers, so we took things w e l i k e d f rom other online bou-t iques a nd boutiques in the area and adapted them to form Vestique.”

King said they got their kick start in Atlanta at the Atlanta Apparel Market.

“We went to the Atlanta Apparel Market in August and purchased the majority of our merchandise. That gave us the opportunity to meet some designers and develop relationships with them,” King said.

When deciding which pieces to add to the collection, Genty said they go off what they personally like, but they are also huge trend-watchers.

“We follow a bunch of fashion blogs, we obviously follow celebrities and any other trends that we see in the fashion world, and then we look for those items at an affordable price to

bring it to you,” Genty said. “We do a lot of canvassing, then we choose items that we like and that work well.”

Vestique is unique in that every item they offer costs less than $100.

“We’re really focusing on making things affordable, especially with the economy the way it is. We want people to be able to shop and have an opportunity to have the latest trends but at affordable prices,” King said. “Whereas a lot of people boutique shops are expensive, places in Raleigh and the area, we’re giving them the opportunity to get those same looks but at a much cheaper price.”

Genty said another way Vestique is different from other online retailers is they are available for trunk shows.

“We’ll bring our product to you. We’ll bring them and let people try them on and touch them and buy

them. Genty and King avoid

drop-shipping customers by storing their products and shipping the items di-rectly to customers.

“We have an inventory of every item that we sell so we’re able to ship same day to most of our customers. And actually, if they’re in the same area or if they’re students or something, they’ll likely get it the next day,” King said.

While the two own and operate Ves-tique, they also work day jobs. With most of the business being run online, Genty and King are able to balance their work load.

“Most of the designers have websites and we order from their website and we can order new things as they get new items, so it’s a great opportunity for us because we can do a little on-line shopping from our designers in between market,” King said.

Their website was designed by Gen-ty’s husband, and features dresses, tops, bottoms, outerwear, accessories and jewelry.

“One of the reasons we were able to start Vestique was because my husband is a web-developer. We de-signed it, but he brought our designs to fruition. His company helped us get everything the way it is, the way you see it right now,” Genty said.

Genty and King said their education at the University gave them valuable skills needed to start and run a busi-ness like Vestique.

“I was a business and marketing ed-ucation major. While I’m not teaching, I was able to gain a lot of skills as far as marketing. I had entrepreneur classes at N.C. State and was well-informed as a student on starting a business and all different types of marketing tactics,” King said. “I’ve definitely been able to bring that knowledge to the table with Vestique.”

Genty was a communication major and said her classes and background in public relations are used to spread the word about Vestique.

“Caroline [King] has helped so much with the business side and I’m helping with the PR side. We don’t have a huge budget; we don’t have a budget for advertising at all right now. PR and any free and cheap market-ing have really been beneficial for us,” Genty said.

Although the business has only been open for four weeks, several items have already sold out and the two owners are excited about its success.

“We’ve done really well our first 4 weeks, better than we ever expected that we would do. We’re just hoping to keep the momentum going and get the word out to more people,” Genty said. “We can’t wait to see how people from N.C. State take to this.”

SportsTeammates, friends bring winning attitude to the Wolfpack

Cory SmithStaff Writer

A tendency for many fresh-men coming to college is to look for familiar faces while acclimating to the new culture and freedom that being a stu-dent at a university provides. Similarly, athletes must adjust to the different playing styles of new teammates and increased speed at the college level. However, Four local soccer products made that transition smoothly, and brought nearly ten years of experience playing together to the Pack when they enrolled at N.C. State.

Redshirt junior goalkeeper Will Mackvick, junior for-ward Watt Williams, senior defenders Tyler Lassiter and Lucas Carpenter know each other well, to say the least. The four of them have learned from each other since playing on the 1988 CASL Elite squad.

“Playing with [Williams, Carpenter, and Mackvick] is something that I’ve done for so long now,” Lassiter said. “I know exactly what they’re go-ing to do, and they know what I’m going to do. We know each others tendencies and it helps us playing together when we really understand each other as well as we do.”

Each player has his own style, but they have learned from one another over the years and know how to win. The four teammates helped lead the ’88 CASL Elite to USYSA National Championship in 2003 as well as multiple state and regional

championships. Macvick and Williams were also high school teammates at local Broughton High School, where they won the 2006 NCHSAA 4-A state championship together.

This winning attitude is something that they have tried to infuse into the current Pack team.

“I feel like we have all con-tributed to the team,” Lassiter said. “We all know what we believe the team should play like because we have all played together and won together on different levels. We all try to work together to get the team to where everyone wants to be.”

Carpenter has been a leader on the defensive side for much of the year, as he was named a captain at the beginning of the year. However, an injury to his leg, which required surgery, has sidelined him for a num-ber of games. Therefore, other seniors, such as Lassiter, have stepped up to help the Pack.

“Whenever you lose a senior like Lucas [Carpenter] every-one has to step up,” senior for-ward Chris Zuerner said. “But the senior leadership that Tyler [Lassiter] exhibits has really

helped the team. His offensive and defensive presence has re-ally helped us get to where we are.”

With Mackvick, Lassiter, and Carpenter playing mostly on the defensive side of the ball, they have a sense of playing for each other. Lassiter and Carpenter try to make life eas-ier for friend and goalkeeper Mackvick.

“Will [Mackvick] being my goalie makes me want to work harder,” Lassiter said. “He’s not just my keeper, he’s like a brother to me. I’ve known him my whole life so I don’t want the ball getting past me and getting to him.”

However, after the Pack was limited offensively in several

games, coach George Taran-tini moved Lassiter into more of an attacking role. When this happened, he was able to learn from one of his longtime friends about what aspects of his game needed improvement.

“We all learn from each other,” Lassiter said. “For ex-ample, Watt [Williams] really helped me out when I made the change to offense. He re-ally knows the game well and helped me out when I made the switch. Playing together every-day before coming to State has helped us all to play the game better.”

Not only have the four play-ers shared memories on the soccer field, but they know each other on a personal level

from the many years play-ing together. While each one of the players is used to each other’s tendencies and abilities, Lassiter real-izes that playing together for this long is rare and something he cherishes.

“Not a lot of kids get the chance to play with their teammates al l the way through college,” Lassiter said. “I feel like it’s some-thing really special. We all have the same memories of hours in hotels play-ing video games with each other and having some good times even when we weren’t playing soccer.”

losing three or even all of these games.

And then we have the Pack which travels to Clemson this week, has Wake Forest at home the week after, and then finishes on the road against Carolina and Mary-land. The way Florida State’s schedule sets up State can’t afford to drop a single game. Three of the four remaining games on the road will be tough and State will need to bring its A game every week.

One single slip up could derail this team’s ACC title hopes and leave many of you people who are planning on or have already bought a ticket to the ACC champi-onship left scalping it right before the game begins. I for one don’t feel particularly comfortable and don’t think everyone should get their ex-pectations too high just yet.

It is possible that this is just because I have been hurt too many times by N.C. State athletics. So much so that I am to scared of getting my hopes up in fear of ending up with a broken heart yet again. I’m not trying to knock this team, I love it and think that it is the real deal, but I just am not drink-ing the Kool-Aid yet and am trying to possibly sway you to do the same at least for the time being.

With the Pack’s win over Florida State and Maryland’s 62-14 romp over Wake Forest Saturday, the stage is set for a three-way battle atop the Atlantic Division of the ACC. Maryland, N.C. State and Florida State all enter the final third of the season

at 6-2, with one loss in conference play. The Terps and Pack close the season with four con-ference games, while FSU has three ACC games remaining and an instate showdown with SEC foe Florida. Maryland, which will host battles in the last two weeks of the season against FSU and NCSU, controls its own destiny. Below is a look at exactly what stands between the Atlantic’s three frontrunners and a trip to Charlotte.

Don’t count the chicks before they hatch

Let me begin this column by saying that I am a com-plete optimist in every as-

pect of the word. I al-ways try to look on the bright side of things, even when t he y a re the gloom-iest. And as toug h as it is for

me to say this, it needs to be said. The win against Florida State was huge for Tom O’Brien and the N.C. State football program, but it does not mean the season is over. A spot in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte is by no means a guarantee.

There is still a ton of foot-ball left, four games to be exact, and nothing is going to be easy. As we all know, being N.C. State fans, the Pack doesn’t exactly like to do things the easy way.

Everything that I have heard so far since last Thursday nights victory over the Seminoles is, “hoo-ray, hooray, the Pack con-trols its own destiny.” Heck, even the Technician wrote the game story headline as “Hello, driver’s seat.” But the team controlled its own destiny at the beginning of the season as well. All the Wolfpack had to do was win every game of the season and it would win the ACC title and potentially even be playing for a BCS Title, but its just not that easy.

This team has played ex-ceptionally well at times, but has also played horrible at times. For example, the ECU game and second half of Virginia Tech. With four games to go, three of which on the road, starting with a very talented Clemson team coming off a loss who nobody seems to be talking about this week, this may be the game to tell all about where the Pack are going. If State is able to go down and win in possibly one of the most hostile environments in the ACC, Death Valley, then I may feel a bit more confident, but only a little.

At this point State is tied with Maryland in second place in the Atlantic Divi-sion at 3-1, a single game behind Florida State, who is 4-1. But due to the head to head match-ups and the win against the Seminoles, the Pack only has to win out to capture the crown.

In this three team race State has one of the tough-est remaining schedules. Florida State has arguably the easiest with only three ACC games remaining, at home against North Caroli-na and Clemson and on the road at Maryland. With this remaining schedule it’s not hard to think that the Semi-noles could wind up 7-1 in the ACC, leaving the Pack with zero room for error.

The Terps on the other hand have a pretty brutal remaining schedule playing at Miami, at Virginia then finishing at home against Florida State and finally the Pack. Maryland’s has not re-ally beaten anyone special, instead has taken advantage of the weaker teams in the ACC. So I don’t expect them to stay in this race much longer and could see them
