Students and transportation officials have different opinions when it comes to on campus parking.
Anja DavisCorrespondent
Due to a recent uprising in the amount of boots given to students’ cars around campus, students voice their opinion about parking on campus, parking violations, and parking passes.
Curtis Edwards, a senior in parks, recreation and tourism management, said that he has had five parking violations since Au-gust, and that he parks both on and off campus.
“On campus I usually park in spots near my classes and hope I don’t get ticketed. I don’t want to give away my off campus spots, but they are fairly close to class and I rarely have problems with authori-ties, but I know others that have in the same spots,” said Edwards. “If I don’t drive, I will ride my bike, but sometimes it’s hard to get up that extra 15 minutes earlier.”
As for the violations themselves, Edwards said he finds them ridicu-lous.
“I think they are pretty ri-diculous, but at the same time it doesn’t dissuade me from taking my chances,” Edwards said. “I have just accepted that I’m going to get tickets if I park where I’m not sup-posed to, but if I can keep that cost under that of a permit in a year, in my mind it’s worth it.”
Keli Johnson, a junior in psychol-ogy, said she’s only parked on cam-pus during summer school and that she’s never had any violations.
“[Parking on campus is] too strict because we are such a large campus,” said Johnson. “Because of all the students it’s not conve-nient for all of them to ride the bus or catch a ride, so they should make parking easier and more con-venient.”
Johnson said she drives to Food
Lion and catches the bus from there, but that it’s not the ideal situation.
“It kind of sucks because you get out of class and you still have to wait to catch the bus,” said Johnson.
As for improvements to campus parking, Johnson and Edwards both said they would like to see more avail-able spots.
Despite the popular student belief, “for a University of our size we offer more parking opportunities,” said
Christine Klein, transportation pub-lic communication specialist. “Park-ing opportunities are greater [on our campus] than at most universities.”
NCSU is such a large University that parking could quickly get out of hand, according to Klein
“Without rules and guidelines it would be chaos,” Klein said. “Parking rules and regulations are in place to

Undergraduate students showcase their research projects at the 20th Annual Research Symposium.
Allie BeckettStaff Writer
The Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium featured 217 research projects conducted by students and their mentors, ranging in topic from hard sciences to social sciences.
George Barthalmus, director of undergraduate research, started the Office of Undergraduate Research in 2003. He said he believes under-graduate research is the best way for a student to gain valuable knowledge in their area of study.
“Undergraduate research is con-
sidered a high impact educational tool,” Barthalmus said, “Every em-ployer wants to see hands on experi-ence in their field.”
Whitney Lohmeyer, a senior in aero-space engineering, agreed with Bar-thalmus on the value of undergradu-ate research experience. Her two and a half year project working with Dr. De-Jarnette, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, is focused on how engineers protect vehicles as they reenter the atmosphere.
She received the NSF fellowship, which will help to fund her continued research and her pursuit of a master’s or doctoral degree. Lohmeyer also credits her research experience for her acceptance to MIT.

Parking regulations pose conflicts between students and officials
sarah edens/TechnicianHunter Nelson, a sophomore in agribusiness management, pays his meter along Hillsborough Street before going to class. Although there has been an increase in the number of tickets given and cars booted on campus, Hunter said,” I have never gotten a parking ticket from State.” Only 20 percent of the fines collected from parking tickets stay at the University.

The 10th anniversary of Art to Wear brought out record crowds and unconventional muses.
Elis e Heglar & Abby MillerStaff Writer & Correspondent
While many on the outside see fash-ion as simple collections of patterns and fabrics, fourteen of N.C. State’s up-and-coming designers proved that true fashion has much deeper roots, an inspiration that comes in all forms.
Art to Wear, a collaboration between the College of De-sign and College of Textiles, celebrated its tenth anniver-sary by highlight-ing both the rich history of the event as well as its drastic changes, and accord-ing to Emily Parker, director of college relations in the Col-lege of Textiles, this year’s showcase is the largest and most successful yet.
“This whole show has grown a lot over the years,” Parker said. “The whole process of how the event is run has changed; it’s more of a production now.”
Each of the 14 designers, selected by a panel of jurors, focused his or her collection on a specific theme, something Cynthia Istook, associate
professor of textile and apparel tech-nology and management, said is a sign of progression from previous years.
“The designers have definitely got-ten better through the years,” Istook said. “I think they learn from the past mistakes from other designers.”
Each of the designers was also re-sponsible for directing the styling of their models. Some of the models did more than just walk in their garments, as junior in art and design Danica Dewell demonstrated as the models for her collection danced onstage to portray her vision of dancing out of darkness.
For Keely Cansler, senior in textile tech-nology, her inspira-tion came from an intense emotional experience—the loss of a friend.
“My inspiration came from the loss of my best friend. I had a very difficult time with it and her death has come up multiple times in my work,” Cansler said.
While Cansler said this idea is a recent one, she said she felt it was the best time
to unveil her creation and personal message.
“This is my last year and I felt ready and fully committed to the topic,” Cansler said. “I feel it’s something many people can relate to, and the line is not meant to be sad, depress-
ing or anything like that. Its purpose is to serve as a sense of hope for oth-ers, closure for myself, and to honor the memory of my best friend. It’s really a story of my journey through the grieving process and my personal interpretation of each step.”
Veronica Tibbitts, junior in art
and design, said she wanted to make people aware visually of their physical impact on the world.
“The message of my collection is awareness. Daily, we consume an enormous amount of resources of every kind—money, food, energy, animals, products—the list is end-
less,” Tibbitts said. “I was inspired by these throw away materials, and created garments which re-purpose these items.”
Another designer, Rebecca Walker, a sophomore in art and design, said her

“I’m just a regular stu-dent,” Lohmeyer said, “I’m not valedictorian or top in my class, but my research really opened doors for me.”
O t h e r s t u d e nt s , l i k e Mary Bulfin, a sophomore in biological sciences, have also had great opportunities created by their research projects. Bul-fin’s project focuses on solving the problem of the rising cost of feed in commercial poultry.
Bulfin was a recipient of the ACCIAC grant in the sum-mer of 2010, which provided a year of funding for her project and culminates in a trip to Mi-ami the weekend of April 16 to present her project at the ACC Meeting of the Minds.
“My goal is to get my PhD in genet ics of neurobi-ology,” Bul-fin said, “This experience has definitely changed my life.”
For some students, such as Sally Pe-tre, a senior in environmental science, the research projects were so fun and interesting they helped de-termine the graduate program and career the students wish to pursue. Petre’s project was an assessment of the mercury in economically important fish in North Carolina.
“The research was actually fun to do,” Petre said, “I now know that I want a master’s in fish conservation.”
Conducting research in your intended field of work is very beneficial for being successful in your future career, accord-ing to Petre.
“This project gave me ex-perience and important con-nections that will help with networking in my field,” Pe-
tre said, “I definitely recom-mend that everyone participate in a research project.”
All of the undergrad re-searchers were paired with a mentor who helped in devel-oping the ideas for the projects and facilitating the research.
“It is more important to align yourself with the proper men-tor than to go with your first choice research project,” Loh-meyer said, “My mentor, Dr.DeJarnette, was amazing and makes me want to be a mentor to students one day.”
Bulfin also gave a lot of credit to her mentor, Dr. Chris Ash-well, profes-sor of poul-tr y science at NCSU.
“He opened my eyes to re-search”, Bul-f in said, “I want to make
sure he is given credit for all of his work.”
The students who chose to submit their work will have their projects published in the Spring 2011 edition of the Un-dergraduate Research Journal, “Ink”, according to Barthal-mus.
“The journal is totally stu-dent driven,” Barthalmus said, “The way it should be.”
The Office of Undergradu-ate Research will also pro-vide grants of up to $1,000 to fund research for the Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 semesters to selected students (based on quality, merit, and need) who have submitted their proposals, budgets, and recommendations by the deadline.

First Life Sciences Day todayLife Sciences day aims to celebrate the life sciences that aren’t typically recognized.
Chelsey FrancisSenior Staff Writer
In an effort to comple-ment Agriculture Aware-ness Week, today will be the first, hopefully annual, Life Sciences Day.
According to Jonathon Phillips, an agriculture and resource economics profes-sor and one of the faculty members helping organize the event, the idea came about as a need for equal-ity among clubs in CALS. There will be a variety of events and booths set up on the Brickyard.
“There was a kind of feel-ing that the life sciences might not have been as rec-ognized in CALS and we wanted to make sure that they were recognized for the great things they do,” Phillips said.
Although the first year will likely be small, the or-ganizers hope the event will grow. Kristopher Stuart, a senior in biochemistry, has helped organize the event, according to Phillips.
“Kris took the bull by the horns and really ran with it,” Phillips said. “He’s been the main driving force be-hind keeping this running.”
Stuart said he thought the idea was a good one, so he decided to help plan out.
“I thought it was a good
idea. There’s really not much advertisement for life scienc-es on campus,” Stuart said. “There’s the occasional club or two that comes out to the Brickyard, but they’re few and far between.”
Stuart said this year there’s going to be several interesting exhibits set up on the Brick-yard.
“One of the most interest-ing things we’re going to have is going to be between 12:25 and 1:15 p.m.,” Stuart said. “We’re going to have a s t u d e n t here tak ing belly button samples for a project for the Natural Science Mu-seum. Ba-sically we’re going to take samples from willing people’s bellybuttons and culture them to show what grows in people’s bellybuttons.”
According to Phillips and Stuart, there will also be a small scale tractor.
“The tractor is a little bit big-ger than a lawn mower,” Stuart said. “I haven’t actually seen it before, so I’m excited to see it.”
According to Phillips, the idea for Life Sciences Day wasn’t really created, it cre-ated itself.
“The idea is it’s going to show off things students and departments are doing on this campus,” Phillips said. “It kind of created itself. I’m sure there was someone who stood up and
said ‘Hey, let’s do this.’”In the future both Stuart and
Phillips hope that Life Sciences Day will be run by a club in-stead of run by the faculty.
“We’re planning on getting one club involved and be the hosts,” Stuart said. “Kind of like how Alpha Zeta runs Ag-riculture Awareness week, we hope a club dedicated to it will take on Life Sciences day and roll with it and make it blossom
into some-thing big.”
There’s a possibi l-ity and hope that Life Sci-ences Day w i l l g row to where it is equal to Agriculture Awareness w e e k a n d wi l l last a
week, according to Stuart.“I would love to see it grow
into something like a week, I think with enough support that would be really possible,” Stuart said. “Maybe not next year, maybe event two years from now.
Although Life Sciences Day was originally planned for March 30, Stuart said they chose to change the date at the last minute.
“March 30 was 48 degrees and pouring rain,” Stuart said. “Hopefully everything we’ve been planning for and working for since January will work out. We’re hoping for a good turnout and hopefully show everyone’s interest in life science.”
“We’re going to
have a student

button samples

encourage voluntary com-pliance.”
The several parking decks around campus are where most of the violations get written.
Melissa Watkins, park-ing enforcement manager, said “[It’s] probably going to be something like the Coliseum deck, Dan Allen
deck, and the Centennial Cam-pus decks because they are the largest parking areas with the most spaces.”
According to Watkins these are also the areas with the most car boots.
Parking enforcers have also had to change laws regarding boots because of the amount of unpaid tickets.
“If you have six tickets with-in six months you get booted, whether you’ve paid them or not.” Watkins said.
Ronnie Wright, assistant di-
rector for finance, said this is to force compliance.
Last year there were $527,399 dollars collected for parking vi-olations, reported Wright. That still left $155,982 uncollected by December of 2010. The remaining 80 percent of col-lected violation money that doesn’t stay at NCSU, but goes elsewhere within the state.
“On an annual biases about $100,000 dollars of it goes to us. Twenty percent of the fines for collection costs, which doesn’t cover it,” said Wright.

Why did you attend Art To Wear? What are your expectations for

“I have a friend walking in the show. I expect it to be pretty awesome. This was my first opportunity to come, so I’m excited.”

“I really love fashion and I wanted to see the local talent. I came to support the designers. I’m looking forward to it. This is my first time to Art To Wear, so I’m really excited. I can’t wait to see the talent.”
Joshua Skeetersophomore, mathematical education
“I came because my a lot of my friends were coming. I also wanted to see the student designs - it’s like a real fashion show. I’ve set pretty high expectations since it is the 10th anniversary. I’m sure there are some amazing designers.”
cassie ehreabochjunior, psychology
inspiration was a combination of transforming the worthless into the priceless.
“The inspiration for my col-lection really started with the concept of a lucky penny. You know, the slogan ‘find a penny, pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck.’ I was thinking that if a person used their pen-ny to wish for glamour, beauty, and drama how would a penny achieve these traits? I decided to treat the pennies like jewels and embellishments,” Walker said. “After beginning the process the line really evolved into the juxtaposition between creating beauty, glamour, and high fashion out of something seemingly so worthless.”
Overall, Istook said she was impressed the hard work of the designers, and also with the student turnout.
“This was a pretty phenom-enal show,” Istook said. “The designers really went all out with their creations.”

According to Raleigh and Wake County Homeless Service Agencies, ap-
proximately 78,000 are living in poverty in the Wake Coun-ty area, many being close to homelessness. In Technician’s article on the food drive Tues-day, Alyssa D’Addezio claimed “there are 1,100 people home-less every night in Raleigh alone.”
At N.C. State, we are so close to this issue and have the po-tential to make a huge impact. The first step is participating in food drives and gaining the ap-propriate knowledge to spread awareness of the issue. We are able to do just that with the Park Scholars’ Canned Cre-ations food drive this month.
The Raleigh Rescue organiza-tion names the most frequent factors contributing to home-lessness as mental illness with-
out necessary medical services, lack of affordable housing, substance abuse, low-paying jobs, domestic events, prisoner re-entry, unemployment and poverty. These factors can be seen on the streets of down-town Raleigh. However, many times this issue is ignored by students.
The common thought to-wards homelessness is that those who are experiencing it lack the necessary ambition to get back on their feet. However, many people who suffer from this misfortune are merely hitting a rough patch in their lives. The even more saddening reality is the reasoning behind why many do not help these people out.
Many believe if they lend a hand it will only enable the habits that landed the home-less in that position to begin with. In most cases, this could not be further from the truth. What happened to the Golden Rule: treating others the way you would want to be treated?
N.C. State Park Scholars have created a way to get students and the public involved in the issue in an enjoyable way, while also making a difference in the Raleigh area. The Canned Cre-ations food drive is currently in its first phase of collecting donations of canned food, and by this Saturday students and citizens of Raleigh can come out to Harris Field and create artwork from the collected do-
nations.Students are encouraged to
donate canned food or non-perishable items. We should not only support the Park Scholar’s programs and their efforts to combat the issue, but we should be standing right beside them to make a differ-ence in our community. It is important for students to take an interest in our community and the issues it faces; by par-ticipating in the food-drive we are able to do just that.
Homelessness is a condition, not a crime. Too many times society has looked at these people as criminals deserving to be homeless—however, they are people and citizens of our community. It is important we show our support and team up with the Park Scholars to com-bat this issue in our own com-munity.
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.
Homelessness is a condition, not a crimeTHE FACTS:Park Scholars have teamed up with organizations in Raleigh to sponsor a food drive. However, in this food drive participants are able to create sculptures out of the donations raised.
OUR OPINION:The issue of homelessness is very evident in Raleigh. As N.C. State students, we live in the heart of the issue—downtown Raleigh. Because of our proximity, we should reach out to our community to help those in need. With the Canned Creations food drive we are able to do just that.
Some feel College Cup is a great new tradition
This past weekend, dozens of students from the different
colleges joined Student Government, Ca mpus
Recreation, Chancellor Woodson and Dr. Staf-ford in the
first ever College Cup. This was an event created in re-sponse to the growing gap between the colleges and the campuses, a concern brought up by the student body. What better way to begin the conversation of campus unity and inclusion than by having students who have never met before come together in a day of competition and fun? One of Student Government’s jobs is to foster commu-nication among students, administrators and leaders. This is a very daunting task that many organizations must tackle in order to have a successful environment for students to live in.
The best place to look at how to communicate with others is by looking in the family living room. On Wednesday night, when the plates are cleared and leftovers put away, how do a lot of families interact? By surrounding a monopoly
board, playing checkers or go-ing out to play putt-putt. The College Cup is a new way for students to interact, communi-cate with each other and com-municate with their student leaders and administrators.
When giving a speech at the awards ceremony, Chancellor Woodson said it best, “Some-times, we act like a bunch of colleges joined together by a basketball team.” And he is right. It is important that we take our school spirit outside of the stadiums and RBC Center and remind everyone that we are one Wolfpack nation. Sure the colleges were competing against each other, but there has to be some way of organiz-ing teams and representatives of the University as a whole. Otherwise, you won’t get such a diverse group.
From the surveys passed out and collected from the partici-pants, many of them had a lot of fun and also had the chance to interact with others they’d never met before, one of our goals for the event. The par-ticipants gave very construc-tive feedback; including asking planners for next year to adver-tise more, organize better, and have less down time, which I think is completely fair seeing as we should have advertised earlier in the year. These criti-cisms were completely war-
ranted and will help us plan for next year. While things didn’t go perfectly, most participants commented that this was a great first effort of such an event.
Furthermore, partici-pants praised the premise behind the competition saying, “I had the chance to meet new people, compete and have fun.” The partici-pants also had the chance to speak and interact with the chancellor and Dr. Stafford, which we felt was extremely important in beginning the dialog between students and administrators.
At the end of the day, I feel we reached our goal to interact and commu-nicate with students who have most likely never seen their Student Government representatives or major administrators before. If Student Government’s job is to foster communication between the student body, ourselves and administra-tion, why not have some fun along the way? Life’s too short not to. We are one Wolfpack family, so let’s come together like one and take what the day gives us.

Response to ‘Planned Parenthood under fire’
In reading Ms. Shah’s article, I felt that there was some bias against certain political parties and I would like to offer another possible reason that Congress is looking at cutting funding that is not politically biased.
The U.S. Constitution doesn’t specifically list organizations such as Planned Parenthood as the responsibility of the federal government. These organizations fall into the Tenth Amendment, which gives the states the power that is not directly specified for the federal government.
Therefore Planned Parenthood shouldn’t receive federal funding under the Constitution. Rather, funding is left to the states or private individuals. Federal funding for Planned Parenthood may be viewed as unconstitutional by members of Congress, and that could be why they are being targeted instead of defense spending.
Nathanael Morgansophomore, biomedical engineering
People have become too dependent
I read your article regarding the spending cuts and Planned Parenthood. I agree with your points about Planned Parenthood providing health services such as STD testing, diabetes testing, etc. and that they are beneficial to many women, but I think it is unfair for all taxpayers to pay the bill on these services or even part of them. People have become too dependent on the government.
This attitude of entitlement from the government is what got us so far into debt in the first place. When social programs are subsidized to serve specific groups of people, everyone has to pay the price. The sad thing is that we can’t even solve the budget deficit by raising taxes, because they are already extremely high. In order to balance the budget, we will need to cut spending wherever possible and lower marginal tax rates to spur economic growth. We, as students, will bear the burden of these programs when we soon enter the workforce and make a substantial income.
Justin Abernethysenior, business administration
Federal funding of abortion through Planned Parenthood Thomas Borden
Ms. Shah’s column on Planned Parenthood misses the mark on the recent funding battle.
I understand and appreciate many of the services Planned Parenthood provides, such as cancer screening and STD treatments. Republicans have attempted to defund Planned Parenthood due to its decision to provide abortions. It is at best misinformed and at worst, dishonest to claim it is somehow a general assault on health care for women.
For those of us who are pro-life, of course we do not excuse Planned Parenthood for performing millions of abortions, because they also provide women other health care services. Making abortion an issue of women’s health has been frequently used as a straw man to attack the pro-life movement. For anyone who believes that life begins at conception, there is no issue of choice because no one would think it was acceptable to kill an innocent child. Some would describe the way in which I frame the issue incorrect, because the Hyde Amendment prohibits federal funding of abortions or abortion services.
Unfortunately, the reality is that anything that is”keeping the lights on” at Planned Parenthood is supporting abortions. As for the financial necessity of cutting funding to balance the budget, I would agree the approximately $350 million they receive annually is only a drop in the bucket. In fact, as the American Civil Liberties Union so callously points out, funding abortions would not cost taxpayers money because of “the costs associated with childbirth, neonatal and pediatric care greatly exceed the costs of abortion.”

FeaturesThe facility is open year-round to provide specialized care for small animals such as cats and dogs.
Ken ChengStaff Writer
Dow n Hi l l sboroug h Street near Blue Ridge Road is one of the University’s best-kept secrets.
The Hospital for Small Animals at the College of Veterinary Medicine is not just a run-of-the-mill vet clinic that treats the aver-age canine tummy ache or feline broken femur. Instead, the hospital is a state-of-the-art center that can perform even the most complex surgeries and pro-cedures.
“Every specialty you can think of, we can do it,” Dr. Steve Marks, a clini-cal associate professor in Critical Care and Internal Medicine, said. “We can treat cancer with radiation therapy. We can do MRIs. Just recently we fitted a prosthetic leg on a dog.”
A specialized hospital requires a very attentive staff, and the Small Ani-mals Hospital maintains strict criteria for what it takes to work with them. Along with good grades, GRE scores and experience, potential staff members are also required to have good team work ability and com-munication skills.
“We are held to higher standards,” Dr. Marks said, “because not only do we have to explain to the clients the procedures that their pets need, but we also must tell them how much it will cost them, as most of our clients pay out of pocket.”
The Emergency and Criti-cal Care Department com-prises the ICU unit and the Small Animal Emergency and Triage Service.
“The ICU and the Small Animal Emergency and Triage Service operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and are staffed by emergency care clinicians and technicians trained to handle critically ill or injured patients, as well as general small animal emer-gencies,” according to Dave Green, the director of com-munications for the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Students who work at the hospital are usually senior veterinary students who have spent four years in undergraduate school and four years in veterinary school.
Doctors are either first-year interns or residency doctors who have been working for at least 3 years. Even undergraduate studies can prove to be very specific for those interested in the
veterinarian field.“Part of being a vet is you
have to meet requirements in very specific undergraduate courses,” Dr. Marks said.
Like the way customers de-fine any business, the clients define the quality of service that the hospital provides for both them and their pets.
“Our primary cases are re-ferred cases,” Dr. Marks said. “We see the most complicated references and most of our clients are referred by other c l i n ic s . We have all kinds of specialists and some of the brightest students and staff.”
Owning pets can be a time-consuming and financially tax-ing responsibil-ity. According to Dr. Marks, that is the major downside.
“Vet insurance is not on the same level as human medi-cal insurance, so most of the clients pay out of pocket. The prices can be quite staggering,” Dr. Marks said.
Nonetheless, the majority of devoted pet owners are willing to shell out whatever is neces-sary to make sure that their furry companions get the best of care.
“Many of these clients see their pets like family mem-bers,” Dr. Marks said.
Ultimately, all the cost and time becomes well worth it for both doctors and staff and cli-ents alike.
“We have to reach a goal,” Dr. Marks said, “and that goal is for everyone to work together
to save the lives of animals.”Although the hospital only
treats conventional pets like small dogs and cats, they are planning to take on more spe-cial species like snakes and birds once their new, bigger facility is ready.
“When we move into the Ter-ry Center there will be a hospi-tal that looks after wild life ani-mals, zoo animals and marine life,” Dr. Marks said. “There are many animals that we will have the potential to look at
in the fu-ture. Also, we will be the largest University teaching hospital in North Car-olina.”
The space allocated for the ICU
and the Small Animal Emer-gency Service in the Randall B. Terry, Jr. Companion Animal Veterinary Medical Center is four times greater than in the original Veterinary Teaching Hospital, according to Green.
“The department now fea-tures a separate entrance, three dedicated emergency exam rooms, its own surgical and radiology suite, a large patient visitation area and high flow air filtration to protect and treat patients with infectious dis-eases,” Green said.
The current facility is in the Small Animal Veterinary Teaching Hospital. It will move to the Randall B. Terry, Jr. Companion Animal Veterinary Medical Center in May.

Panda Bear releases ‘emotive’ album
Mason MorrisWKNC DJ
Animal Collective’s Merri-weather Post Pavilion was the apogee of 2009 music. The first time I heard the album, I was filled with absolute intrigue — complex and subtle melo-dies evolved from thin, scaly, harsh textures in unexpectedly delightful ways. I was carried to heights I didn’t before know existed.
The music was horrifying, yet it was wondrous, much like the first time I witnessed an eclipse or experienced a roller coaster. Its mystique drew me in and captured my attention in an unusual way. I didn’t know how to approach the organized sea of harmonies, but I sat with my earbuds tightly in and listened. For the first time in years, mod-ern music had me captivated. Today, I attribute Animal Col-lective with having turned my musical perception inside-out.
Noah Lennox sings vocals for
Animal Collective and plays drums and guitar for the band as well. Yesterday marked the release of his fourth solo al-bum Tomboy, much anticipated since its titular single dropped in the middle of 2010.
Previous releases by the art-ist who goes by the moniker of Panda Bear spanned into the deeply abstract as scarcely-changing tones droned on for minutes. However, Tomboy is an interesting change in pace as what is easily his most acces-sible album release yet.
Stylistically, it mirrors Ani-mal Collective’s 2009 release in its patterned intricacies. Sound fills every track’s crevices, ex-panding to include percussive beats and crunches. The expe-rience is practically religious, though in his April 4 interview with music journalism website Pitchfork, he hesitates to let it be labeled as such.
“It’s not serious in a heavy-handed way — and I really hesitate to say it has any sort of religious or sacred feeling — but it’s in that direction to me,” Lennox told the website. He continued to describe the conditions of the recording studio — dimly lit, uncomfort-able, isolated and in a basement in Lisbon.
Despite its studio recording
setting, this album is anything but claustrophobic.
In “Slow Motion,” depth is portrayed with every rever-berating beat. This piece is the impressionism of modern mu-sic; every meticulously placed, painstakingly perfected stroke of tone is visible under the mi-croscope and up for interpre-tation. The listener is likely to get lost while attempting to sift through the multitude of layers.
“Alsatian Darn” plays with vocal inf lections. Lennox himself fades into his music, becoming another instru-ment in the mixture. “Say, can I make a bad mistake? Say what it is I want to say to you, say what...” These lyrics loop into a cyclone of emotional confusion and somehow, the line between the listener’s psych and that of the creator fades into obscurity.
Tomboy is Panda Bear’s most recent release and one of the most emotive albums that this reviewer has ever heard. It’s mastery of riveting textures is matched by the unique mood it creates. It is the perfect ex-ample of this generation’s in-novations in genres, and every listen-through is guaranteed to uncover previously over-looked details.

FeaturesThe Garage sparks innovation on CentennialThe Garage attracts innovators wishing to brainstorm and share their ideas.
Kellie CrookCorrespondent
Recently, N.C. State’s campus has seen a lot of entrepreneur-ial movement. The Engineer-ing Entrepreneurship Program, Entrepreneurship Initiative and The Garage have all been part of this movement.
The Garage was the brain-child of Tom Miller, director of the EI, who continues to work with a number of faculty, staff and students. The name, “The Garage,” came from Steve Walsh, director of the EEP. EI and Red Hat sponsored the 2,000 square foot facility; EI, via the University, found space, while Red Hat supplied the necessary equipment.
The Garage is located in the basement of Research IV on Centennial Campus and is open 24/7 to those innovators that need a place to work, or just share their ideas.
Andrew Misenheimer, a graduate student in electrical engineering, said, “[The Ga-rage] is a great community. The people are really passion-ate about what they are doing
and are a great resource.”Misenheimer added that The
Garage also offers a number of other resources suited to bringing ideas to life, includ-ing a larger number of tools for prototyping.
Misenheimer can be fre-quently found in The Garage. Currently, he is working on a prototype for his company, Spark.
“Spark is meant to answer the demand motorcyclists have for instantaneous, controllable power,” Misenheimer said.
Misenheimer is working on an electric su-percharger, a way of adding power to the engine by use of a belt, rath-er than the traditional exhaust pow-ered turbo.
“The f in-ished electric supercharger w o u l d b e safer than the turbo, because it would be able to limit the power in dangerous situations, such as a wheelie or in a curve. This safety would then allow for a little more creative driv-ing,” Misenheimer said.
When asked about the grow-ing interest in entrepreneur-
ship on campus, Misenheimer responded, “It’s really exciting. When you are looking at great ideas, the community will push the ideas. Entrepreneurs are creative, fun to brainstorm with, passionate. There is such a broad spectrum of people that The Garage is a great place to get ideas or just perspective.”
Misenheimer said that all the entrepreneurial stuff that’s happening on campus is a great opportunity to learn the appli-cation of theorem.
“Even if you don’t want to start your own business, it’s
good to learn about how a company is formed and the kind of work it takes running it,” Misenheimer said.
Seth Hol-lar, associ-ate director of the EEP, said that the
motivation for The Garage comes from a need “for entre-preneurially-minded students to meet and collaborate with others. Additionally, we try to facilitate [such collaboration] by providing resources, space, tools and mentoring help.”
Hollar is looking forward
to the future of entrepreneur-ship on campus, with the help of The Garage.
“The entrepreneurial move-ment on campus is still at its fledgling stage. With increased awareness leading to more stu-dent involvement, we can really change the culture on campus,” Hollar said. “It is a great culture of innovation now, but we have the ability to put that in high-gear. I believe The Garage will be a great catalyst for that.”
The Garage is currently in Phase 1 of two phases. Phase 2 of The Garage is set for comple-tion by August 2014, located in the center of the Entrepreneur’s Village, which will include The Garage and residences.
Phase 2 Garage will be 20,000 square feet with work, break, conference and presentation rooms. The Garage, in both phases, is meant to promote student entrepreneurship and multidisciplinary collabora-
tion, according to Hollar.As students become more
aware of the resources available to them, there is hope that N.C. State’s campus will become a leader in innovative entrepre-neurial programs.
“A big aspect relates to people realizing that there is no limit to what they can do,” Hollar said. “Nothing is impossible.”

Sports
of two freshmen on State’s ros-ter, transitioning to the bullpen after being a starter for nearby Riverside High School in Dur-ham was challenging mainly
due to the different level of strain relief pitching puts on the arm.
“It was a rough transition. I had dead arm the first couple of weeks from throwing every other day,” Thomas said. “But you just have to build your body up and get used to it.”
So far this season, Sasser and
Williams have dominated out of the bullpen and currently sport the team’s top-two ERAs at 1.29 and 2.10, respectively. With the Pack (18-15 overall, 5-10 ACC) offense struggling to find its stride and suspect starting pitching, an emphasis is on the bullpen to close out games when the Pack gets a
lead.State returns to the dia-
mond today as it hosts the UNCW Seahawks at 3 p.m. in the 76th meeting between the two schools.

provide Barnes with a great boost of confidence while giving him the opportunity to cement his position in the Wolfpack backfield even after Greene returns in the fall.
“It is an important spring for
him to get through,” O’Brien said. “By the time he got back last fall it was a bit too late, so he just played scout team for us.
“This is an opportunity to show something and knock on wood he has made it this far and we will go from there,” O’Brien said.
greenecontinued from page 8
I won’t be upset if I don’t win anything.”
Head coach Mark Stevenson is also proud to be accompa-nying Stephanie this weekend. He’s had the opportunity to take someone almost every year, including one of last year’s top performers and re-cent graduate, Taylor Seamen.
“I just want Stephanie to go into the weekend doing and do what she has done all year,” said Stevenson. “She has four opportunities to post a good routine score. If she does well she has a spot to move on. And further opportunities include titles such as being an All-American, like Taylor had been.”
Her performance since the beginning of the season has gotten better according to her coaches, and she shows it across the scoreboard. She is the top freshman representative of the All-Around routine and con-sistently does well in the event. However, reaching a successful
year takes time and practice, which coach Stevenson along with the rest of the coaches have had the opportunity to help.
“She has done well at every single meet,” Stevenson said. “She only recorded four total falls out of 48 routines. She did everything the way we asked her too. I would say that her biggest improve has been her form. Her legs are straighter and toes are more curved. She came in and has done a great job with the routines.”
As for the rest of the gym-nastics team, the season end-ed after the NCAA Regionals held two weeks ago. The team will soon be transitioning into off-season as they prepare for next year. Coach Stevenson has continued to do well for the Wolfpack gymnasts as he finishes his 31st season at State.
“I think next season will be an even better one than this year,” said Ouellette. “And it will keep getting better, as new girls come on to the team. This season was different than years before, due to some changes in rotations, but still very enjoy-able.”

After dropping the series to UNC, the Pack is looking to go one up against ECU.
Jeniece JamisonSenior Staff Writer
The Wolfpack is looking to get back on track after drop-ping its series against rival North Carolina against an-other in-state rival, the East Carolina Pirates.
The series against ECU began in 2005 and the all-time series record is tied at 5-5. East Caro-lina has won the last five meet-ings between the two teams.
ECU will also be anxious to get off the losing side. They lost their last series to Conference USA opponent Central Florida 1-2, but they won the last game of the series in a 1-0 pitching duel.
This next game also has ex-
tra implications for ECU senior Toni Paisley. In the Pirates last win against UCF, Paisley tied the Conference USA career wins record with DePaul’s Lindsay Chounard in 2003 at 108 wins. Paisley also leads the country in solo shutouts this season with 13 on the year.
But Paisley isn’t the only ace taking the mound for this se-ries. N.C. State freshman Kayla Cox has also been making waves in the ACC and will be an individual that the Pirates will need to plan for.
Cox is currently 3rd in the ACC in strikeouts at 174 and caught 34 of her strikeout vic-tims looking, which is tied for 5th in the conference. Despite all of these leading stats, Cox is making waves in the most important statistical category with nine wins on the season, which is 10th in the ACC.
Cox will need to bounce back
from her lackluster perfor-mance against the Tar Heels to be successful in the next rivalry series. She took the mound in the final game of the series and allowed six runs in five full in-nings, but she also struck out six batters during her stint be-fore being relieved by junior pitcher Morgan Peeler.
State will also need to bring the offensive firepower to the plate. Senior catcher Alyssa Allbritten has been anchoring the Wolfpack offense for the season, ranking 10th in the ACC in bating average at .351 and tied for 8th in hits with 40.
Cox said she and the Pack are excited for the contest.
“We’re all really excited about the ECU series,” Cox said. “It’s a rivalry game so we’ll all be pumped up and ready to go come gametime.”
According to Allbritten, even a non-conference game will be
seen as a pivotal one for the season and getting back on track to finish out the sea-son strong.
“Anytime we can get a good win over an opponent, no matter who it is, will be great for the team,” Allbrit-ten said. “I think we started off great, but we began to re-gress. But we’re starting to get back to where we were and that’s very important at this point in the season.”
Allbritten was also one State’s most productive player in the previous se-ries against Carolina. She went two for three off of two singles in the second game of the series.
A win for the Wolfpack in this series would serve as a great launching pad as the season is winding down and the Pack looks towards finishing conference play.

Wilson excels against West VirginiaFormer Wolfpack standout in football and baseball, Russell Wilson, had a breakout game yesterday for the Asheville Tourists, the minor league affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. Wilson has only compiled a .200 batting average to this point, but finished 2-4 in Tuesday’s game against the West Virginia Power for his second and third hits on the early season. Wilson helped the Pack dismantle the WVU Mountaineers in December to win the Champs Sports Bowl, and seems to be on the right track after facing yet another West Virginia team.

With Greene out for spring, redshirt junior Brandon Barnes has the opportunity to showcase talents.
Taylor BarbourSports Editor
Head football coach Tom O’Brien announced Tues-day that sophomore run-ning back Mustafa Greene will miss the rest of spring practice and the 3rd annu-al Kay Yow spring football game due to a foot injury that will require surgery.
O’Brien would not say what exactly happened to cause the injury, but only said he would not be back until the regular season.
“Mustafa [Greene] will have surgery sometime this week,” said O’Brien. “He’s got a foot injury. Whenever he has surgery he’ll be back in the fall.”
Greene is penciled in as the number one running back on the team’s depth chart after a brilliant fresh-man season in which he rushed for 618 yards, caught 30 passes and scored a com-bined seven touchdowns through the air and on the ground.
But with the Greene in-
jury, redshirt junior running back Brandon Barnes will have the opportunity to showcase his talents in the upcoming spring game.
“When it comes to team sports, whenever the man in front of you goes down, you have to be ready to take ad-vantage of the opportunity,” Barnes said. “So that is what I am doing right now, trying to take advantage of my opportu-nity and get the best out of it.”
Since arriving in Raleigh three seasons ago, Barnes has had trouble getting on the field. In his freshman season he redshirted the entire year. In the following season, he still struggled to get on the field, backing up Toney Baker and Jamelle Eugene and managing only 79 yards in three games. And then last season, Barnes suffered an injury in the spring that held him out of the entire season last year.
“It has been real hard,” Barnes said. “I love football and I haven’t really haven’t had a chance to play since I have been here, so this will be a great opportunity for me to play this year.”
A year after his injury, Barnes is finally healthy and out to show he can be a solid contrib-utor to the Wolfpack offense.
“He is getting a little better,” O’Brien said. “He is chipping
away at it here and there. He is pushing through it.”
Barnes arrived in Raleigh as a prize recruit in Tom O’Brien’s first real recruiting class. The running back from Bunn, Ga. was considered one of the top athletes in the nation, possibly
playing either safety or running back.
But in his three seasons Barnes has failed to live up to the potential everyone saw in him during his high school years, which he believes is now providing him with extra moti-
vation heading into this season.“Everybody wants to prove
all of the doubters wrong,” Barnes said. “It motivates me.”

Freshman becomes youngest person to represent N.C. State in 18 years.
Sean EgeStaff Writer
This weekend freshman gymnast Stephanie Ouel-lette will be traveling to Cleveland, Ohio with her coaches to compete in the NCAA Nationals. It is a first-time experience for the freshman, also making her the youngest competi-tor to represent N.C. State since 1993.
Ouellette is making her first year at State a memo-rable one. The First Year College freshman has been one of the more outstanding newcomers to head coach Mark Stevenson’s squad. He is glad to have the opportu-nity to train Ouellette.
“I thought she did a great job her f irst year,” said Stevenson. “She has been trained extremely well in her past. Her and Rachel Fincham come from the same club, Docksider’s Gymnastics, and they are known to train their kids to do well.”
Ouellette is a native of Columbia, Maryland. She competed Elite from 2005-2007 with Docksider’s Gymnastics and qualified to represent Region 7 on its national teams during five out of seven years. She was also a Region 7 all-around champion in 2008.
“It was different transi-tioning from high school to college level gymnastics,” said Ouellette. “I have expe-
rienced a lot of changes. How-ever, I enjoy competing in col-lege. As for my first year I think it went well for me, and I hope to continue like this.”
Ouellette secured her bid to the NCAA Nationals when she competed at Regionals in Ath-ens, Ga. on August 2nd. She is the youngest person to compete at Nationals since Christi New-ton in 1993. Ouellette qualified for the NCAA Championship as an individual, scoring a 38.950 to garner a sixth place
all-around finish.“It’s really exciting and I am
really happy to be going this weekend,” said Ouellette. “I think I am going to go into this weekend with the hopes of doing my best and just having fun. The NCAA Nationals will be an event that I have never experienced. I just need to have fun with it. It would be nice ad-dition to place in an event, but

Wolfpack relief pitchers reveal that there is more to the bullpen than meets the eye.
Tucker FrazierSenior Staff Writer
Sunf lower seeds, sun-glasses and uncertainty— welcome to the life of a relief pitcher.
Unlike starters, reliev-ers have no idea when they will enter a game. Better yet, they don’t even know if they will enter a particular game.
The uncertainty that surrounds relief pitch-ers is what makes them a special breed, even though one glance towards State’s bullpen may reveal a state of relaxation rivaled only by fans attending the game.
“A lot of position players give us a hard time and say we don’t do as much and all we do is help set up bat-ting practice,” freshman lefthander D.J. Thomas said. “But you never know when you’re going to get in the game, so you just have to stay prepared.”
Despite what it may look like on the surface, Pack re-lievers are constantly on the edge of their toes. Around the fourth inning, relievers will move from the dug-out to the bullpen, where stretching takes place before relievers start warming up.
“We spend a lot of time stretching and doing band work,” junior lefthander Grant Sasser said. “As a re-lief pitcher, you don’t know when you’re going to throw so you have to keep your arm conditioned. We try to throw every day or every other day at least.”
To avoid tired arms, only a certain number of relief pitch-ers are available for the Pack, depending on whether some-one threw multiple innings the day before or has an upcoming scheduled start.
“There’s usually a hot list posted at the beginning of the game so we know who’s avail-able to pitch that day,” Thomas said.
The hot list usually contains half of the Pack bullpen, but can change depending on the circumstances such as an ex-tra-inning game.
Perhaps the most important aspect to the success of a relief pitcher is warming up. Pack relievers said the ideal pitch count before entering the game is between 15 and 20 pitches, but junior righthander Vance Williams said it is essential to stay loose in case a quick pitch-ing change is needed.
“You have to stretch peri-odically whether you’re going to be called or not,” Williams said. “Sometimes you have plenty of time to get ready but other times you might only have eight or 10 pitches to get warm. It just depends on the situation.”
As the weather warms, re-lievers naturally require less time to get warmed up com-pared to the frigid conditions the team played in to begin the season. But Sasser admitted that throwing the ideal 15-20 pitches improves performance on the mound.
“Later in the year when it gets hotter, guys can get ready in seven to 10 pitches,” Sasser said. “I think all of us would agree though, the more you get to throw [in the bullpen], the better you’re going to pitch.”
