Primetime with the Pack kicked off N.C. State’s campout for loyalty points at PNC arena Friday.

Midnight Madness and Prime-time with the Pack, previously called the Red and White Game, showcased the 2012-2013 men’s basketball team through a scrim-mage. Friday was the first official day that basketball teams could start practicing.

After the team entered the arena, the crowd turned its attention to the ceiling to watch head coach Mark Gottfried zip-line onto the court.

Jake Robinson, the “shirtless su-per fan” from the N.C. State versus Florida football game, pumped the crowd up before the scrimmage by

ripping his shirt off and waving it around.

More than 10,000 fans watched as the players participated in a three-point contest followed by a 20-min-ute scrimmage. With less than four minutes remaining in the game, se-nior forward Scott Wood’s grandfa-ther collapsed and was taken away on a stretcher. Wood followed his grandfather and later apologized via Twitter for cutting the event short, saying his grandfather will be OK.

Kornelius Bascombe, commenta-tor for the night and a 2012 gradu-ate, was very nervous about pre-senting for Primetime, but said the energy from the fans helped him. Bascombe also emceed the Univer-sity birthday celebration April 2 in Reynolds Coliseum.

While waiting to reenter PNC

Arena, students watched the State Fair’s fireworks display.

At the start of the Campout por-tion, the basketball players served pizza to participants and took pic-tures with fans.

The combination of Primetime with the Pack and Campout is new to NCSU. In the past, Campout took place at Reynolds Coliseum, and students were guaranteed a ticket to the N.C. State versus North Caro-lina basketball game if they com-pleted all checkpoints. This year, instead of a ticket, students received an additional six loyalty points.

Alexandria Fleming, a sophomore in history, liked the change because there were many activities that made it “more social and interac-

Bill Friday, former president of the University of North Carolina system and N.C. State graduate, died Friday morning. He was 92.

His career as UNC System presi-dent began in 1956. During Friday’s 30-year tenure, he saw the UNC Sys-

tem grow from three campuses to 16.

The cause of Friday’s death has not been released, however he suffered from heart problems, acorrding to a news report.

Friday graduated from N.C. State in 1941 with a textiles degree and kept very close ties to his alma ma-ter, where he served as senior class

president and worked as the Sports Editor of Technician.

Tom Stafford, former vice chan-cellor for Student Affairs, worked with Friday in the 1980s before Friday retired as president. Staf-ford, who served as vice chancellor for nearly 30 years, said Friday ad-vocated for affordable tuition and the diversification of the university

system.“There’s nobody else who has im-

pacted N.C. State over that period of time,” Stafford said. “In my entire life, I never worked for a better per-son than Bill Friday.”

Friday governed during the era of civil rights and school desegrega-tion, and according to Stafford, Fri-day stood by his values on equality.

“His leadership on this issue of diversity was important to me and helped me shape my values, and I think this is a place where both of us had a similar philosophy and point of view,” Stafford said. “At the time, UNC-Chapel Hill was primarily only white males, and we had five

N.C. State welcomed prospec-tive students to campus Saturday with the help of more than 1,000 volunteers.

According to Stacey Fair, chair of the Open House Committee and director of Joyner Visitor Center and Office of Parents and Families Services, planning for the Open House began early last summer.

Director of Communication for the Division of Enrollment Management Services Nicole Wood said the date for Open House is distributed to students in July. Both Wood and Director of Admissions Thomas Griffin said they tried to choose a Sat-urday that didn’t conflict with a home football game or SAT and ACT testing.

Communication is key to planning Open House because involves most people on this campus, Fair said. The Joyner Visitor Center alone has about 100 volunteers.

Fair compared Open House to the State Fair, which occurred the same weekend. She called it an “open, fluid type of event” because it allows students to par-ticipate and explore the activities which most appeal to them. Ac-cording to Fair, there is no set schedule and there are multiple events happening simultane-ously, allowing students to move about as they please.

“Everyone’s Open House [ex-perience] will be different,” Fair said.

Students, families and fans attended a lacrosse exhibition game between N.C. State’s club lacrosse team and various N.C. State fraternities Friday night.

While the club lacrosse team went home with a win, the event was more than a friendly night of competition. Tickets for the event were $3 and proceeds helped support the HEADstrong foundation, an organization that advocates and raises money for those affected by blood cancer and their families.

The nonprofit HEADstrong was founded soon after Nicho-las Colleluori, a lacrosse player for both his high school team and Hofstra University, was diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, according to HEADstrong’s website.

Since its founding, the orga-nization has relied on lacrosse communities throughout the United States to spread the word about those affected with blood cancer and to raise funds for pa-tients and their families to help with various challenges, such as paying for medical expenses, ac-cording to HEADstrong.

According to HEADstrong’s website, Colleluori told his mother that the lacrosse fam-ily was his brotherhood and to make certain that she continued to help the foundation grow in support of those effected by blood cancer.

Simon Kang and Maxwell Kangkolo, members of Alpha Sigma Phi, helped keep Colle-luori’s message and vision alive

House, which is based on last year’s, allowed stu-dents to explore more than just Talley Student Center and Carmichael Gym, the main sites for Open House in years’ past. Fair said she wanted students to see more of the campus and have a better idea of what life is like at the University.

However, the Open House Committee provid-ed a list of recommended activities to allow students and parents to make the most of their day with-out getting overwhelmed while visiting.

Fair said she hoped stu-dents saw the excitement on campus and took note of many of the newly reno-vated facilities.

“Outside is the bricks. When you get inside, you see the state of the art technology,” Fair said.

In recognition of N.C. State’s 125th anniversary, Open House featured a special Carillon Concert for those attending. 125th anniversary cookies were passed out to audience members during the fes-tivities. Fair described the event as a “once in a life-

time [experience].”This year’s Open House was

also extend-ed an hour to accom-modate stu-dents’ con-cerns that la st year’s Open House wasn’t long enough to explore the University, Fair said.

The Class of 2017 will continue the trend of high

achievement that was evident in the Class of 2016, Wood

said.“We want

to be known as a highly selective univer-sity,” Wood said. Last year alone, t here wa s a 30-point increase in SAT scores

for the incoming freshman class, Wood said. Students

entering the University are high achievers both in and out of the classroom, Wood said.

According to Wood, the Class of 2017 will also be smaller because there will be 100 less spots available for admission.

Transfer student from North Carolina Central University Rachel Hyman said Open House was very interesting.

“I have learned a lot [and] everyone is very friendly,” Hyman said. Hyman origi-

nally said she was going to major in psychology, but af-ter visiting the robotics table in the Brickyard, she said she may major in a field involving the robotic sciences instead.

“Everyone wants you to learn about their depart-ment,” Hyman said.

Fair is impressed by the teamwork on campus dur-ing Open House.

“We all showcase the best we have to offer on this day,” Wood said.

A rising love for bread

SKEMA partnered with many academic departments to host Professor Steven Kaplan of Cornell University, a self-proclaimed bread critic. Kaplan’s presentation dubbed “Cursed Bread” discussed the tale of an epi-demic that swept across mid 20th Century France. He discussed the plague of disease, as it related to bread,

the investigation and later cover up in order to protect the government’s legitimacy during the presentation on Wednesday. The story was followed by a how-to in bread tasting. With baguettes, breads and spreads supplied by La Farm bakery in Cary, the event proved to be one of the tastiest Poe Hall has ever seen.

Andy Walsh, student body president and senior in politi-cal science, also said that he noticed the changes brought students together.

Students could participate in a three-on-three basketball tournament, play cornhole, watch Dance Marathon’s f lash mob of “Gangnam Style” and participate in a photo scavenger hunt.

Student organizat ions such as the N.C. State Dance Team, Grains of Time, Fusion

Bob Nelson, a freshman in biological sciences, noticed the “spirit and excitement.” During the movie Hoosiers, the national anthem played and students concluded it with “and the home of the Wolfpack.” At 4 a.m., stu-dents were still shouting the “Wolf … Pack” cheer.

Walsh said he was happy about the changes.

“[This] gave Campout a new life and showcased the tradition that it is,” Walsh said.

There were 2,800 students who registered for Campout, a number that doubled from last year, according to Walsh.

historically black or Na-tive American schools. Instead of making drastic changes, Friday wanted schools like N.C. Central to increase whites on cam-pus, and schools like N.C. State to increase blacks on campus.”

Stafford said Friday pre-sided over a period of tre-mendous growth, especial-ly on N.C. State’s campus.

“N.C. State was a good university, but it was pri-marily a white male uni-versity,” Stafford said. “It was mainly focused in en-gineering, agriculture and the sciences. It had a good academic reputation, but it wasn’t great, from my point of view. After Bill left, it was a larger campus, a more diverse campus and the academic reputation improved to what I would call a great reputation.”

During Friday’s tenure, N.C. State became the largest university in North Carolina, serving the most in-state students. Stafford said that N.C. State ex-panded its programs under Friday, adding more liberal arts classes and bringing more women to the Uni-versity. In addition to his leadership in integrating the university system, Staf-ford said Friday was able to effectively convince the General Assembly to invest in education.

“He fought for and al-ways stood for low tuition,” Stafford said. “The consti-tution of the state says tu-

ition should be free or as low as practical for North Carolinians, and he always fought to keep it as low as possible. The impact it had on N.C. State was very posi-tive for our campus.”

Glenn Kleiman, execu-tive director of N.C. State’s Friday Institute for Educa-tional Innovation, worked closely with Friday during the organization’s annual Friday Medal award cer-emony, in which someone is honored for innovation in education.

The Friday Institute, located on Centennial Campus, is named for Fri-day and his wife, Ida, who Kleiman said were both in-strumental in its founding. The institute works with the North Carolina Board of Education to better the K-12 system. Its mission is to advance education through innovative meth-ods of teaching, learning and leadership, according to its website.

Kleiman said the insti-tute embodies Friday’s mis-sion in life in many ways.

“Educat ion, broad ly speaking, was the core of his life,” Kleiman said. “He was a political educa-tion advisor going back to President Lyndon Johnson. His heart and soul were an educator and a teacher — and that’s what he was to all of us, a teacher.”

This year’s Friday Medal event will be held Nov. 14.

“We were looking for-ward to Mr. Friday joining

us, it’s the first time with-out him and we will use that occasion to celebrate his life and reflect on his in-fluence and then do what I know he would say, ‘Carry on with the good work to improve the teaching in the state and country,’” Klei-man said. “He wouldn’t ask anything for himself, I can almost of hear him saying that.”

Chancellor Randy Wood-son released a statement Friday afternoon, crediting the pioneer in education for laying a foundation of suc-cess at N.C. State.

“Bill Friday was a trans-formationa l leader in public higher education,” Woodson said. “He was known as someone who always put others first. I, along with countless other leaders in higher education, benefited from his wise ad-vice and counsel. Through his distinguished career, he modeled public service at its best, marked by integ-rity, courtesy, humility and perseverance. He set the standard for the value and importance of educa-tion in this state. Thanks to his legacy, North Carolina will continue to be a leader in education.”

Friday was hospitalized in May due to complica-tions with his heart and he died in his sleep Friday morning, according to the News & Observer. De-tails on a public memorial service will be announced later in the week.

when they came up with the idea of the exhibition game on the University’s campus.

Kang played lacrosse in high school and after playing a little during this past sum-mer decided an exhibition game would be a great way to do something different among fraternities. Kang said he thought to himself, rath-

er than just throw the ball around with some friends, we should transform it into an event that supports a wor-thy cause.

Kang said putting on the event was a fun way for fra-ternities to interact with one another and to build relation-ships with more than one fra-ternity.

The exhibition game, held on Miller Field, raised about $570, according to Kang, and attracted between 60 and 80

spectators. Kang said he believed the

event was a success and hopes to continue the tradition, al-ready planning an event for next semester. The next exhi-bition game would serve as a good way to kick-off the club team’s spring season as well, according to Kang.

For my Dar-Dar

Two Sundays ago, I attended two events at UNC-

Chapel Hill honoring my late grandmother, Doris Betts. She was a professor at UNC for more than 30 years, served as the head

of the cre-ative writ-i ng de -partment and was a successful author, among other

things. She was quite an amazing woman. I was nervous in the week lead-ing up to the event. Would I cry? Was I expected to cry?

When I walked up the steps of Wilson Library for the debut of her archives, I contemplated turning back. All I could imagine was how I’d felt in April at her funeral, shaking the countless hands of people I had never met before as they told me how much she meant to them — all the while choking back tears in an attempt to ap-pear stoic.

Her death didn’t come as a surprise: She had been sick for some time. Even still, I was unprepared when it actually hap-pened. Once her funeral service was over and I looked behind me at the line of people wanting to give their condolences to the family, I almost lost it. I was angry, something I didn’t expect to feel. Who were these people trying to tell me how much my

own grandmother meant to them? They didn’t know her like I did; they could never grasp her importance like I could. People told me how she changed their lives, that there was no one else like her, that she was a treasure. I smiled and thanked them, but in my head I was saying, over and over again, “I know this — stop telling me something I k now. Go away!”

It was too much, and at the time I just wasn’t capable of process-ing sincere condo-lences from strang-ers. Losing someone you love, someone you spent your entire life with, is one of the awful parts of life. I wanted the funeral to be private with just my family there to grieve. I didn’t want to share any of my emotions with strangers because, in my mind, they didn’t belong to them. I felt that if I shared them with these people, it took something away from what they meant to me. If I expressed how much I love my grandmother in front of a crowd it somehow made my love less mine.

These memories raced through my mind Sunday. I was so afraid that I was go-ing to clam up the moment I entered the room. I was afraid I would appear selfish and unappreciative towards the university. But, for what-ever reason, those emotions weren’t there — and it cer-

tainly wasn’t due to my lack of thinking about them.

This unexpected rush of gratefulness came over me. I looked out into the crowd and was happy to see them, even though the room was once again filled with people I didn’t know. I cannot ex-press how relieving it was to legitimately be able to enjoy the day. To be able to shake

hands with those who loved her and l isten to their sto-ries without prejudice.

The cliché is right, and I know how much my grandmoth-er avoided

clichés, but time does heal all. I have been able to pro-cess her death in the months after her funeral, and accept how meaningful she was and is to me. It’s calming. For all those out there who have lost someone — it’s important to grieve, to cling to your emotions surrounding their death. But you have to let go. You have to accept that while this person may have meant the world to you, you are not the world. The memory of that person becomes all the more beautiful when you see how he or she touched the lives of others. No one will understand my grandmoth-er like I did, and that special relationship is something I treasure, but I will never understand her like they do — and that is something I respect.

Our big, fat editorialThe North Carolina State Fair has

been a beloved tradition for 159 years … well, 151 if you count the

years it wasn’t held due to the Civil War. But when the fair began in 1853, its main focus was agriculture — in fact, it was held by the Agricultural Society. The first time food booths made an appearance at the fair was 1900. Until then, the main attraction was the chicken incubators. Over the years, it seems that everything about the fair has increased considerably: the food booths, the attendance and the size of the attendees.

Many see the fair as the pinnacle of South-ern culture. Although the fried Twinkies and Milky Ways are tasty, they should be enjoyed in moderation. With new fried creations at the fair every year, we’re pushing the grease-drenched frontiers to a new dimension.

Chris Cioffi, an alum who worked one of these fry-booths for extra cash at a Fourth of July event, recalls a patron handing him a jacket and asking him to fry it. Perhaps this

example is on the farthest end of the deep-fried spectrum, but it goes to show that we don’t leave behind our weakness for indul-gence at the annual fair, and it shows.

The Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention reports that the South has the highest prevalence of obesity, with an average of 29.5 percent of adults being obese. North Carolina fell pretty close to that average, with 29.1 per-cent of adults being obese in 2011.

We can point a chubby finger at adults for passing poor eating habits to children. Ac-cording to other reports by the CDC, obesity rates among children 2-19 years of age have more than tripled from 5 percent to more than 15 percent since 1971.

The New York Times reported earlier this month about students lamenting their schools’ new, nutritional, well-portioned lunches —

which were served with more fruit and veg-etables. Students in Milwaukee, Wis., took to Twitter with the hashtag “brownbagginit” (presumably because an old-fashion picketing would have involved too much cardio). The same story also reported a 70 percent decline in lunch program participation in Mukwo-nago High School outside Milwaukee.

The canary in the coal mine for the danger of salty, high-calorie foods is none other than the queen of all that is battered and deep-fried — Paula Deen, who revealed in January that she had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes three years earlier. A high-calorie diet and obesity are factors associated with the dis-ease. Before, she was hailed as the premier Southern cook. Thousands would watch her cooking show and buy her books, filled with mouth-watering, heart stopping recipes. One

of her many books was Lunch-Box Set, a book aimed at children. The book drew criticism from fellow celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, who said, “You tell kids to have cheesecake for breakfast. You tell them to have chocolate cake and meatloaf for lunch. And French fries. Doesn’t it bother you that you’re adding to this?”

So we’re faced with two options: We, as a so-ciety, can continue to indulge on a daily basis, or we can learn the virtues of self-control and moderation. The eating habits exhibited at the N.C. State Fair should be as frequent as the event. If we continue down this greased, oily and slippery slope, it will be hard to tell apart the average fair-goer from the prize-winning hog — and the already rickety rides will need to be reinforced to carry our plump posteriors. If it gets to that point, we can only hope that down the road, the vendors at the fair find a way to deep-fry insulin and Lipitor.

In response to Ross Bradley’s Oct. 11 column on gun control

If you think that introducing guns into public schools will make children safer, then you must tell me what hallucinogens you’re taking. Or perhaps you live on “Bulls*** Mountain” with Bill O’Reilly. Anyways, your beliefs can easily be debunked by psychological evidence and cross-cultural analyses.

In psychology, a gun is what is known as an “aggressive stimulus.” This fancy term means that guns can influence your behavior. Leonard Berkowitz and Anthony Le Page experimented in 1967 with the idea of aggressive stimuli. They greatly angered college students in two different rooms, one with a gun and one with a tennis racquet (a neutral object). These students were then allowed to administer electrical shocks to other college students. Students in the room with the gun delivered more intense electrical shocks than those in the room with the tennis racquet. Many people since then have retried the experiments and they always have the same results (look up Frodi in 1975 or Turner and Leyens in 1992). Apparently the slogan “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” isn’t entirely true. The trigger can also pull itself, according to psychological experiments (Aronson, Wilson, Akert. Social Psychology, Seventh Edition). But if guns don’t kill people, our military can save lots of money by sending soldiers into battle without guns. They’re creative enough; they can find ways to kill the enemy with something else.

Cross-cultural studies show the United States has many more gun-related crimes than other countries. If you compare two cities like Vancouver and Seattle, which have very similar cultures and environments, you’ll see the difference. Vancouver has strict

gun-owning laws and Seattle doesn’t. Seattle also has twice the murder rate. Coincidence? I think not! But perhaps Iraqis enjoy having a low amount of gun control laws. I bet they are much more satisfied with their freedoms than the terrible English with their strict gun laws and .07 gun-related homicides per 100,000 people. To put things in perspective the gun-related homicide rate in the USA is 4.14 homicides per 100,000 people, which is about 6,000 percent of England’s.

I’m not advocating that we should take all the guns away, but we don’t need certain kinds of guns. Guns turn violent situations into deadly ones. If everyone in bars had a gun, do you think crime in bars will go down? It’s always a good idea to have loaded guns when you get angry. Perhaps we should give guns to second-graders or people on a plane, so that they can “defend themselves.” Everyone knows that children are safer if they are around loaded guns. Perhaps, to prevent assassinations, we allow guns in our courthouses. Both the defendant and the plaintiff should be able to protect themselves. Criminals should maybe maintain their right to bear arms too. Since criminals don’t obey laws, why even have laws in the first place?

The Second Amendment was written over 200 years ago. Thomas Jefferson admitted that the constitution should be changed for the future. They also intended for only white land-owning males to vote and many wanted the right to own people to survive. It’s OK to admit that several men in 18th century were wrong about how our evolved country should ensure rights. Just because it’s legal does not mean it’s right.

Tell someone who has lost a loved one due to a gun-related death that MORE people should carry guns. I bet someone who has lived with the consequences has something to say. Just ask them to verify that more guns mean more freedom.

On Saturday, Oct. 13, members of Occupy Raleigh gathered not to protest, but to celebrate the one-year an-niversary of the movement.

Instead of pickets, Occu-piers held food from a com-munity potluck, others held guitars, some waved flags but everyone had a smile.

“It’s definitely a celebration more than it is a protest,” Ka-tina Gad, occupier and senior in fashion and textile man-agement, said.

Gad and other Occupi-ers explained that the event marked a point of celebra-tion and refocus for Occupy Raleigh and Occupy NCSU.

“The campaign of Occu-py NCSU is still very much alive,” Ryan Thomson, oc-cupier and graduate student in sociology, said.

Thomson, who has often served as an organizer for Oc-cupy NCSU, said the move-ment exists, but in a different sense than it had previously.

“[Occupy NCSU] is turn-ing into more of an abstrac-tion now in my opinion,” Thomson said.

Thomson explained how the movement has shifted roles from a blunt protest of gubernatorial-corporate corruption to a group of people toss-ing around ideas of how t o m a k e positive changes, es-pecia l ly in the student sector.

To Thom-son, there are two faces of what we have come to know as Occupy.

“Occupying in the sense of homelessness that we slept out here and lived out here

for six months is one version,” Thomson said. “Occupying and having this discussion right now is also an abstract version of that.”

At this point, Thomson says that what he prides most about Oc-cupy at the local level is the strong community t h a t t h e y have created together.

“We’ve built a com-

munity out of Occupy Ra-leigh and it’s nice to come back like this and get to cel-ebrate that,” Thomson said. “We took over our own part of town, we fed each other,

we educated one another, we cut wood for each other, there was a lot of participation in-volved in that.”

The anniversary, which called for celebration Satur-day, allowed Thomson to re-flect upon the harsh realities of protesting and the victories both small and large.

“When you get thrown to the sidewalk and four mem-bers from the SWAT team are holding an M-4 to your head, you kind of know that per-son next to you a little more deeply than you did before,” Thomson said.

Thomson painted a stark contrast to Saturday’s event.

“It seems pretty relaxed,” Clark Goldentyer, occupier and graduate in mathemat-ics, said.

Goldentyer said that he al-ways thought of Occupy as a happy group, but the emo-tions of protest often leave us to forget that. He explained how the group would like to see a broader student base come about.

“We were always sort of a narrow group at Occupy with, I thought, a very good message, something radi-cal but meaningful, but we want more students to be involved,” Goldentyer said.

NCSU Student Power is a new umbrella organiza-tion that encompasses 12 left-wing student groups in order to make a real differ-ence, especially with student tuition issues.

Both Thomson and Gold-entyer expressed a strong de-

sire to see increased student involvement in general.

“There are 40,000 people at N.C. State and we want to be more organized and we feel that [tuition] is an issue that they should really be rallying around,” Goldentyer said.

Thomson has developed new advertising techniques to students, thinking of catch phrases and drawing in pho-tos from the University’s past in which students flooded the Brickyard in protest.

According to Thomson and Gad, the progress made by Occupy has been subtle but substantial. The Citi-zens United court decision legalizing “corporate per-sonhood,” which Occupiers placed among their top con-cerns for the country, was

deemed impermissible locally in Raleigh.

“There has been more ac-knowledgement, more rec-ognition,” Gad said. “The public is aware of the message about financial institutions, how the banks get money, and people aren’t getting any help.”

Gad said that although the progress Occupy has made may not be explicit, it is get-ting politicians to talk.

“As for bankers getting jailed, we all know that hasn’t happened yet, but we’re hear-ing the politicians talk about it, and I think that’s definitely something,” Gad said.

Occupiers celebrate a year’s work

Wake Habitat receives record-breaking total

TYLER ANDREWS/ARCHIVEPhaedra Ward, one of the youngest protesters present, holds a sign that says “100 DAYS WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY” during the Occupy Raleigh march on Sunday Jan. 22. Ward was one of about 40 other “occupiers” who marched to celebrate Occupy Raleigh’s 100th day of operation.

Young LeeAssociate Features Editor

For the week before fall break, N.C. State students gathered in little shacks they constructed in the Brick-yard to support Habitat for Humanity’s effort to help support lower-income fami-lies find affordable living. According to the Habitat for Humanity NCSU Facebook page, students participating in the annual Shack-a-Thon raised a total of $228,310.05 — the highest total in Shack-a-Thon history. With a Habi-tat home in Wake County cos t i ng approx i mate ly $65,000, the total is enough to fund the construction of three and a half new houses in Wake County.

This year, Kevin Camp-bell, president of Habitat for Humanity of Wake County, had an opportunity to see Shack-a-Thon for the f irst t ime. He said that after hearing about Shack-a-Thon for so long, be-ing able to come a nd see it in per-son was in-credible and awesome.

However, according to Campbell, although there has been tremendous growth in the area and it is an affluent area with one of the highest median incomes in the state,

there is still a lot more to be done and there are still sev-eral problems that need to be addressed.

“The housing need in Wake County is more about afford-ability than it is about a phys-ical need,” Campbell said. “I think Wake County has done a great job in code enforce-ment so you don’t see a lot of substandard conditions. However, what you do find is that with Wake County always ranked as one of the best places to live ... things are becoming more and more ex-pensive.”

According to Campbell, this is a problem because there are many different jobs that have lower wage rates, jobs that include service work in nursing homes and hospi-tals. Many of these jobs are very important, but because of the price of housing, many people who work in these

fields strug-gle to f ind affordable housing in the county, and l iv ing outside of the county is not practical.

Campbell s a i d t h a t with 25,000 families in

Wake County that have a housing need, the county is still struggling with finding a way to find a way to support everyone that contributes to Wake County’s growth and success.

“More and more people are paying excessive amounts of their income for hous-ing, which then makes a lot of other things not work,” Campbell said. “We have a lot of families that pay half of their income just to its housing.”

However, Campbell said there have also been many good signs.

“We’re getting a tremen-dous amount of support,” Campbell said. “Through-out the recession, we did see our fundraising numbers go down for several years but in 2011 they started to be back up, and even more so this

year. We always have strong levels of volunteering and it’s as strong as ever.”

According to Missy Hatley, assistant director of develop-ment and communications at Habitat for Humanity of Wake County, there have also been positive changes as a re-sult of all of the volunteering and support.

“In the neighborhood of Southeast Raleigh, where we’ve been working with other organizations since 2010, the crime rate has sig-nificantly decreased over the past two years and we receive those statistics from the Ra-leigh Police Department,”

Hatley said.Campbell, who has seen

the Southeast Raleigh area change over the past 25 years since Habitat for Humanity started in Wake County, said he was able to see the positive change in another way.

“It’s a simple thing, but when we first came to the Southeast Raleigh commu-nity, you would never see the kids, and we started to believe that perhaps no kids lived there. But they did live there— their parents were just scared to let them outside because of what was happen-ing on the streets,” Campbell said. “Now the kids are back

out ... just to see kids out rid-ing their bikes or playing in the streets and in the neigh-borhood, even if we didn’t build those specific families a house, just to be in the neigh-borhood and being a part of that feels really good.”

With a policy to fund the construction of a house in Honduras for every house constructed in Wake Coun-ty and with new methods of serving families through an exterior repair program, Habitat for Humanity hopes to serve its 1000th family by the end of 2015.

into the game. Stanko’s goal was the first

that has found the back of the net for the Pack since redshirt sophomore for-ward Jennie Krauser’s goal in the 55th minute during a 3-1 loss to Boston Univer-sity Sept. 20. The Pack had been shut out during the next four games. That adds up to 408 minutes of game time that the Pack hadn’t been able to score.

The excitement from the goal was short lived, how-ever. The Eagles took the ensuing kick-off, and soph-omore forward Stephanie McCaffrey scored on a low shot just off the right post, making the score 3-1. The goal came 13 seconds after the Pack had been celebrat-ing a score of its own.

“The game itself was not ideal,” Springthorpe said. “We let up two goals in the first 10 minutes of the game. The goal by Brittany really got us back into the game.

“The fact that it was the first goal we’d had in a while hyped everyone up, the coaches and the players. And then we let up a goal 13 seconds later. It was just how the whole game went.”

The Pack came out in the second half and looked much better. After replacing Shaw in the goal, redshirt sophomore goalie Victoria Hopkins allowed just one goal on 13 shots. The Pack got one more score from redshirt freshman forward Rachel Harris in the 79th minute. record dropped to 5-11-0, and 0-7-0 in ACC play. With only three games left in the season, the Pack can only hope to play the role of spoiler.

“We have had a rough sea-son, with injuries to many of our starters hurting us,” Springthorpe said.

The Pack travels to Winston-Salem to face ri-val Wake Forest Thursday. Game time is at 7 p.m.

“With three games left, the reality is that we didn’t accomplish the goals that we wanted,” Springthorpe said.

Brown, Leslie, Lewis, junior center Jordan Vandenberg, junior guard Ralston Turner and freshman guard Rod-ney Purvis. The White team consisted of senior forward Richard Howell, freshman guard Tyler Lewis, sopho-more forward Thomas de Thaey, senior forward Scott Wood, freshman forward T.J. Warren and sophomore guard Staats Battle.

Each team traded baskets as the game was close through-out. The combination of Brown and Leslie proved to be deadly as Brown found Leslie open many times for alley-oops and post-ups in the paint. Brown finished the game with 14 points. Leslie led all scorers with 15 points.

“We’ve been here,” Leslie said. “We’ve played our pre-vious two years and we know how each other play so we’re just going out here and play-ing.”

Along with the veterans, the underclassmen showed promise as well. De Thaey

and Warren also finished in double digits with 10 a piece.

The two freshman phe-nom guards showed well. Lewis tallied 6 points and 3 assists. Purvis finished with 7 points and 2 assists.

“Speed and scoring, he’s explosive and we need an-other guard that can do that,” Brown said, speak-ing of Purvis.

Throughout the event, the atmosphere felt like a regular season game as the crowd was behind the Pack, cheering after every big play.

“It was amazing,” Brown said. “Everybody was ex-cited to see us and we’re excited to see them come out and cheer for us.”

Due to a medical emer-gency involving Wood’s grandfather, the scrim-mage was cut short with time still remaining on the clock.

“Erase this week,” Choi said. “Just forget it ever hap-pened; pretend we were never here.”

“We’re supporting the field this week,” Sykes joked. “We didn’t play wel l , you know? We d id n’t get great play out of any-body. The young guys like Carter Page actu-al ly played pretty well, but I think the guys are try-ing to keep from playing bad instead of trying to play good. They’re trying to guide it around the golf course, and that doesn’t work.”

As mentioned by Sykes, State will return home next weekend for the Wolfpack In-tercollegiate at Lonnie Poole Golf Course. When asked

about the similarities between Duke Golf Club and the Pack’s home track, Choi didn’t hesitate.

“Both courses [Duke and N.C. State] are tough. They’re just very diffi-cult,” Choi said. “Getting to sleep in your own bed is always good. We’re look-ing forward to how tough of a course we are going

to play, and this week was obvious-ly pretty tough.”

Af-t e r t he Raleigh tourna-ment this Fri-day and Satur-

day, State heads over to Greensboro the week after for the Bridgestone Intercollegiate at Gran-dover Resort. Fall play will be capped by a trip to Hawaii’s Princeville Makai Golf Course in the Warrior Wave Princeville tournament Nov. 5-7.

The N.C. State women’s soc-cer team traveled to Boston College in an attempt to knock off the No. 23 Eagles and ob-tain its first ACC win of the season. Instead, the team came out flat in the first half and never recovered in the second, losing 6-2. This loss extends the Pack’s losing streak to nine games, keeping it tied in last place with Clemson.

The Eagles (9-5-2, 3-4-0) came out hot, quickly attack-ing the Pack’s back line. By the 20th minute mark, the Eagles had scored 5 goals on 11 shots. Freshman goalie Madison Shaw was quickly pulled from the game.

“Ultimately, it wasn’t a great day for us,” Head Coach Steve Springthorpe said. “We played a poor first half. From a coach-ing perspective, we did a bad job. We just came out slow, and they took advantage of it.”

The one bright spot from the first half for the Pack was a goal by freshman forward Brittany Stanko. The Raleigh native scored in the 13th minute of the match, making the score 2-1 and putting the Pack back

The bad news about N.C. State’s last place finish at Duke’s Rod Myers Invitational is the team struggled to a 41 over-par finish and carded nine double-bogeys in round three alone.

The good news: “The food [was the best part],”

senior Mitch Sutton said. “And it was a fun course to play. We always enjoy coming over here.”

For the former All-American who finished a rough tourna-ment with a final round 82, Sut-ton’s fun came mostly in edible form instead of good golf form. After breaking par in 13 of his 26 rounds last spring, Sutton has gone 25-over in six rounds this fall. Far from being the only is-sue in the lineup, Head Coach Richard Sykes was candid as usual when talking about one of his best players and the current state of his team.

“You know, when you’re very confident, you don’t think you will ever lose it,” Sykes said of Sutton. “And when you lose it, you don’t think you’ll ever get it back. [Sutton] is kind of going through that right now. We play at home next week, and that will be a good remedy for us, I think. At least [back home] we are com-fortable with our surroundings.

“It was a nice tournament out here, but I guess we were a little bit like West Virginia [losing in

football this weekend] — we just didn’t perform well.”

The event was won handily by the host team, as Duke steamrolled the 11-team field with a 12-shot victory. Carolina came in a distant second at even-par, but did share the indi-vidual title, which was a tie between Blue Devils’ senior Julian Suri (70-69-70) and Tar Heels’ senior Clark

Palmer (69-70-70). With the Pack trailing 53 shots

behind Duke, State golfers took more enjoyment in their second course meals as opposed to the golf course. State’s star Albin Choi (75-71-73) led the team — in a tie for 20th — and was happy to board

Wolfpack fans got their first taste of N.C. State men’s basket-ball this season at Primetime with the Pack at PNC Arena Friday night.

Pre-game included a video of the Pack’s accomplishments last season, including the ACC Tournament semi-final finish and the miraculous run to the Sweet Sixteen. Before fans were allowed into the arena, red and white signs were placed on each side of the arena making a great scene when the cheerleaders led the crowd in cheering.

The night had many surprises. First Jake Robinson, the Twitter phenom who was made famous after taking his shirt off and swinging it in the air last week when State defeated the then No. 3 Florida State Seminoles. Next, the players’ names were called as they walked down different corners of the top of the lower bowl, high-fiving fans on the way down to the court.

Probably the biggest surprise of all was Head Coach Mark Gottfried zip lining down from the rafters of the arena. The play-ers and crowd were ecstatic as Gottfried flew through the air, high-fiving fans on his way to the court.

Junior guard Lorenzo Brown said the team had no idea Gott-fried would make that kind of entrance.

“I thought he’d run down the steps like everyone else,” Brown said. “I was a little scared but he made it down fine. Coach Gottfried is a great guy. He loves energy, he brings energy to our practice, and he brings it to the games.”

Gottfried was given a microphone, once he was unharnessed, and ad-dressed the crowd saying, “We’ve got the best fans in the nation.”

“Coach has a lot of heart,” junior forward Calvin Leslie said. “He’s

young spirited and it just feels good to be able to relate to him because he has a lot of energy. He just wanted to go out there and do something, it felt good. All of my teammates were just happy that he did it. We were definitely like ‘Wow, I can’t believe coach did that.’”

Following Gottfried’s improbable entrance, the players warmed up for the 3-point contest. Two teammates faced-off head-to-head on opposite sides of the court. After the first

round senior guards Scott Wood and Jay Lewis advanced to the final round. To no one’s surprise, Wood was victorious in the finals, making 17 of 20 baskets in the final round. Lewis finished making 13 of 20.

After the 3-point contest was the final and main event of the night — a scrimmage. The team was broken up into two teams, Red and White. The Red team featured

Volleyball sweeps weekend road tripN.C. State improved its record to 17-3 overall, 7-2 in the ACC, by defeating Virginia Tech and Virginia, 3-1. The win against Virginia Tech gave the Wolfpack its first ACC road win. It also broke the Pack’s 15-match losing streak to Virginia Tech.
