Joe Carnevale sculpts giant knight to guard corner of Cameron Village, judges student street art for Scrap to Sculpture contest
Kate ShefteExecutive Editor
Joe Carnevale, a senior in history and the creator of the now-infamous Barrel Monster sculpture on Hillsborough Street, has come a long way since last summer. Far from distancing himself from the police, he now has the respect and gratitude of charity groups and local businesses.
Instead of snatching traffic bar-rels off the street and throwing them into the back of his car, Carnevale received dozens of recycled street signs and used them to create a “Street Knight” at on a corner of Cam-eron Vi l lage in honor of Earth Day Saturday while curious shoppers and a smattering of fans wandered by.
“It’s easier,” Carnevale admitted. “It’s less fun. The first three or four nights of going around and cutting down signs would have been fun, but I would have had to do a lot of it. And I don’t have to worry about the Raleigh Police De-partment coming after me again.”
Carnevale prepared parts of the knight at home but assembled the piece in three hours, mostly through what he called “winging it.” He didn’t sketch out the piece, preferring instead to measure it up visually.
Carnevale, who calls himself a “dime store celebrity” since finding fame for his street art last year, has since stopped cre-ating Barrel Monsters.
“I did like six barrel monsters and got sick of it,” Carnevale said. “I think everyone else got sick of it, too.”
Pat Hunnell, an independent public relations consultant contracted by Cameron Village for their Earth Day celebrations, remembered Car-nevale’s work and looked him up on the Internet.
“We met and had lunch. I asked him if he would consider being involved and he said yes,” Hunnell said. “He saw it as a way to create this
piece of art that he’d been considering but hadn’t moved forward with because he didn’t have the materials. He was excited to put his vision to life.”
Carnevale envisioned being constructed from cautionary road signs. Hunnell called around and couldn’t find a supplier of traffic signs, but found a company that was willing to donate the street signs.
Hunnell said it turned out better than she imagined.
“He has a marvelous eye and sees these things,” Hunnell said. “I’m completely fascinated.”
The sculpture will stand in Cameron Village for two weeks. If it doesn’t become a permanent fixture there, Carnevale plans to sell it to a local gallery. Though he now has a public stamp of
approval for his work, Carnevale said he isn’t going soft.
“I consider selling out to be when you let the fact that you’re getting paid
for it influence what you’re making,” Carnevale said. “I already had this idea to begin with. If they had come to me and
said ‘this knight is a little too violent. We want something more subtle,’
I would have taken it some-where else.”
After Carnevale com-pleted the Street
Knight, he lent his services to the Scrap to Sculpture
contest, which was open to thrifty high school and college students
around the Triangle. Each contes-tant received a $100 gift card to the
Scrap Exchange to gather materi-als and create an original piece.
Not surprisingly, most artists opted to pursue a theme in honor of Earth Day.
Laura Maruzzella, a senior in art and design at N.C. State,
helped students from Green Hope High School and the Wash-ington Boys and Girls club create
a bucket full of brightly col-ored flowers. Their sculpture took first place and won the
club $1,000.“We went to the scrap exchange and bought
vinyl records [to make the flowers],” Maruzzella said. “I boiled them ahead of time and brought them to the Boys and Girls Club to arrange as flowers. We made a little garden.”
Maruzzella heard about the contest from her boss, who she said always informs her of com-munity art contests and projects. Maruzzella, who was a week removed from debuting her line
at the Art to Wear fashion show, launched right into her next project. She still had paint on her hands when the judges inspected her club’s piece.
“[The Boys and Girls club] painted the flowers and stems,” Maruzzella said. “They brought it to life.”
Second place went to Duke University student Jason Tian, who created a piece using an old lampshade, window blinds and a crown made from Christmas tinsel. His sculpture, called “Rags to Royalty,” was vandalized in the days leading up to the judging. The artwork itself was kicked over and the chains around it were moved to another part of the shopping center. Tian held the sculpture together while he explained the inspiration behind his work.
Third place and $500 went to two State stu-dents: Elina Inkiläinen, a graduate student in forestry, and Brunell Gugelman, a graduate student in natural resources. They created an aluminum tree with leaves made from plastic bottles and flowers made from pieces of soda cans.
Pat Boyle, marketing director for Cameron Vil-lage who arranged Scrap to Sculpture, Carnevale and a representative from LeChase Construction Services judged the contest. Boyle said Cameron Village planned to host the contest again next year and said hoped for a better student turnout.
“I talked to a few professors [at N.C. State] and they said the timing was bad because of finals,” Boyle said. “But we can’t change Earth Day. It’s got to be this time.”

Architects responsible for designing the new Talley Center presented conceptual sketches
Chelsey FrancisStaff Writer
Friday afternoon, the architects from Duda Paine Architects, based in Durham, N.C., presented their cur-rent plans for the new Talley Student Center.
Currently, the designs are just con-ceptual sketches, but according to Russ Holcomb, an associ-ate with Duda Paine, schematic sketches could begin as early as next month, and some infrastructure changes could be-gin as early as April 2011.
“The actual con-struction on the new Talley Student Center could potentially start in 2012,” Holcomb said.
Mandy Russell, an associate with Duda Paine and N.C. State alumna, said the new student center will be more accessible and usable to stu-dents.
“We hope that by having more space, more openness and more plac-es to enter, we will encourage student interaction. We want the new student center to be a celebration of circula-tion,” said Russell. “We want students to feel comfortable just hanging out here.”
The new student center, with 1,886 seats planned, will have about 700 more seats than the current one. The amount of meeting rooms will also increase to 16, as well as the number of available seats in these rooms by almost doubling them to 776 seats.
Turan Duda, the head architect, said, “We have several thoughts we worked with throughout designing this. Stu-dents we spoke with want the new stu-dent center to be easily connected with campus, a place where memories can be made, and have an area that can be
open 24 hours a day.”One of the main
thoughts was how to arrive to the stu-dent center. Right now, everything is jammed at the front door, Duda said. The new design will have many more en-trances. He said the bookstore will be at
the heart of the new student center, on the Cates Avenue side of the building.
“There will be a visual connection throughout the whole area and visibil-ity across multiple areas but there will also be variety throughout the whole building. At the top of the building, we want to put in a skylight to let in natural light,” said Duda.
The idea of this construction is not to tear down the existing student cen-ter.
“We aren’t planning to tear Talley down, we’re planning to open it up and make the space more usable,” Duda said.
There is a pedestrian bridge planned to cross the railroad from Broughton Hall and connect to the new student center. The pedestrian bridge will ap-proach the planned green roof of Tal-ley. A technology tower was also been included in the plans.
“The idea of the technology tower is to give this generation of N.C. State
students something to be proud of, like the Bell Tower was in the past,” Duda said.
The actual construction will likely be broken down into four different phases, according to Mandy Russell. Overall, the square footage of Talley will double, and it will seem more pre-sentable to campus.
“Right now, coming up Morrell Drive, the first thing anyone sees of Talley is the loading dock,” Duda said. “We want to make it seem more open, more approachable and more like a part of campus. This will make it seem more visually connected, both within itself and to campus.”
Talley architects present updated plans
Ty D. Harris/TecHnicianThe University Board of Directors hosted a Meet the Design Team event Friday. The lead expansion design firm, Duda Paine Architects talk to students about the project that will transform student life. Russ Holcomb, principal designer of the project, explains the latest building model while students ask questions about the design strategy. Holcomb said “this project has created a partnership with the N.C. State community, and I am excited to work with ... students.”

New Hillsborough street restaurant opens Friday evening
Jessica HighsmithCorrespondent
Time-Out, a 24-hour southern cuisine restaurant, opened Friday on Hillsborough street at the former lo-cation of the Big Kahuna Bar & Grill.
The restaurant has been a late-night focal point for Chapel Hill students for over 32 years and will now cater to the N.C. State community as well.
According to owner of the Time-Out restaurants Eddie Williams, lo-cation is key.
“The Chapel Hill location is in front of Granville Towers while this one is located right beside University Towers, off of Hillsborough Street,” Williams said. “We feel right at home with this location.”
Williams said about his inspiration for the popular restaurant that he had college sports and food in mind.
“It’s a great university concept. N.C. State was the next step after Chapel
Hill and we hope to expand to other large universities in the future,” Wil-liams said.
Although the new location is cen-tered in the heart of one of its rival universities, Chapel Hill students do not seem to mind. Kat McKenney, a sophomore in computer science at UNC, said she was happy about the Raleigh addition.
“I don’t think anyone will be both-ered by it; most people probably don’t even know there’s one opening,” McK-enney said. “They’ll probably just be happy they can go there whenever they visit State.”
Williams said he was excited for the opening on Friday, although there is still a lot of work to be done.
“There is still a lot of fine tuning in the process. I consider the opening on Friday a ‘soft opening.’ Although we are unlocking the doors now, there will probably be a grand opening closer to August when everything is completely in place,” Williams said.
N.C. State students have been an-ticipating the opening of Time-Out off Hillsborough Street, and should
be happy to know there will probably be some great students deals in the future. Jimmy Cronin, a sophomore in business administration, said his experience with Time-Out has been good.
“I have been to the Time-Out in Chapel Hill and it’s a great place to eat at because you can truly go w h e ne ve r you want,” Cro-nin said. “Most people want to get something good to eat after a long night out and now State students can. In fact, I ate there at 4:30 in the morn-ing once.”
The central location is sure to draw in a lot of late night business from hungry State students, Cronin said.
“The fact that it’s across from Uni-versity Towers is great. A lot of fresh-man and sophomores can run right across the street right to it. It’s also a
nice location near the college bars,” Cronin said.
“I think this restaurant will defi-nitely stand out from other eateries located near N.C. State,” said Wil-liams. “We offer delicious southern food a cut above the rest. I actually
think we are go-ing to do the city of Raleigh a favor by offering bis-cuits to soak up all the alcohol consumed at lo-cal bars.”
Williams said that he is cau-t i o u s a b o u t opening the res-taurant so close
to the end of the school year, but has a great feeling about it.
“This is going to be a good fit. It’s the right spot, in a good place, and I’m excited about State,” Williams said.
One of the best perks about Time-Out is that it is always open, even during acclimate weather. Williams described a time when there was a
hurricane in Chapel Hill and they were still open when everything else in town was closed.
“We started running out of supplies eventually and ended up serving ba-con biscuits when it got down to it,” he said.
Time-Out has long been popular for their warm, southern-style Chicken Cheddar biscuits – a big, warm fluffy treat with a full fried chicken breast fresh off the bone, Williams said.
“The chicken cheddar biscuit has al-ways been a favorite, but I always grav-itate toward the carved baked turkey. I joke that everyday is Thanksgiving here,” said Williams.
The new restaurant has been in development since Jan. 1 and is now open at 3001 Hillsborough St. It serves the same menu as the Chapel Hill lo-cation.
“I think there is a high demand for something like this on Hillsborough Street and I will definitely be going there in the future,” Cronin said.
Time-Out offers 24-hour eatery for students
Kyle O’DOnnell/TechnicianAt Hillsborough and Dixie, A new restaurant, Time-Out, opened. It offers southern dishes and 24/7/365 dining. Eddie Williams, owner of Time-Out, said the restaurant is open under most circumstances, including acclimate weather. The restaurant now provides both UNC and NC State students with late night meals with the addition of its newest location.

{ }Our view
For many students, the week before exams has become anything but the
Dead Week it’s supposed to be. The original intent of the
week was to allow students a time to review and begin preparation for exams. In-stead, Dead Week has become an opportunity for professors to assign last minute papers, projects, tests and quizzes — despite University policy to the contrary.
The essence of Dead Week has disappeared. Most students do not even acknowledge its presence anymore; it has sim-ply become the week before exams. The end of the semester is a stressful time for most ev-eryone, especially seniors who
are fast approaching gradua-tion. Why have a “Dead” Week that in reality is just as “alive” — if not more hectic — than the other weeks throughout the semester?
Students deserve ample time for exam preparation regard-less of what form it takes. They should have the opportunity to spend the week before exams concentrating on studying, but at the very least to have a week that is less stressful than exam week.
As students approach their fi-nal years of college, the effects of stress become more and
more apparent with other con-cerns such as post-graduation plans. Students need at least one week where they can count on a reprieve from major as-signments and assessments.
Different students will always have different ways of dealing with stress and finals, but Dead Week must be the period that allows them to deal with those pressures in ways they see ap-propriate.
Classes shouldn’t necessarily be cancelled, but they’re only going to be effective if they help students prepare for the end of the semester; professors
must provide an opportunity to review material for finals to facilitate that process. Assign-ing papers and projects — or having them due — destroys the intent of Dead Week.
It should either be treated as a week of review and prepara-tion for students, or it should cease to exist. Some professors adhere to the policies concern-ing Dead Week, but others cer-tainly do not — it’s an unnec-essary inconsistency and one the University administration has the ability to correct.
Students would like a week for review and preparation, but let’s not call it something it’s not. Dead Week is either dead, or it’s not.
The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board excluding the news department and is the responsibility
of the Executive Editors.
Is Dead Week really dead? The FacTs:It’s Dead Week which, according to University policy, means professors should not assign extra assignments or assessments in the lead up to exams.
Our OpiniOn:Make sure professors adhere to the policy or quit using it.
Would you use steroids?
Since its U.S. release last summer, several of my friends have begged me
to watch “Food Inc.” — essen-tially challenging me to devote
this column to it. Lying in bed late on Sat-urday night with my girl-friend’s Netf-lix account, I acquiesced.
The inspir-i n g d o c u -menta r y by Robert Ken-
ner — and Participant Media, the same people who brought you “An Inconvenient Truth” — jumped headlong into the corporate farming industry, showing people what they didn’t really want to know — but needed to hear.
It mystified me with its can-did tapestry of vegetable libel laws, industrial seed manufac-turing and meat production. How could things have gone so wrong? How on earth does one libel a vegetable? And why must Bessie stand ankle deep in her own feces?
I was disturbed, and there was only one solution to my restless sleep: wake up Sunday morning — let’s be honest, that means 11:30 a.m. — and go to McDonald’s.
The seductive smell of fat fry-ers, processed meat and high-fructose corn syrup pulled me through the doors and left me plump, dumb and happy for just a tad more than $4. Life was good, and I could now give an honest reflection on one of the film’s last — and most quotable — lines, “To eat well in this country costs more than to eat badly.”
The aphorism is right, I could certainly have gone out to the farmer’s market off Centennial — just minutes away from the McDonald’s on Western — and bought produce that was fresh, in-season and local. It would have cost more — perhaps twice or thrice as much — but would certainly have saved my arteries some pain and suffer-ing.
So I asked myself: what is my health worth? What is Bes-sie’s standard of living worth? What is the cost of not doing anything?
The truth is that sugar should come from a cane, not a kernel; steer should eat grass, not corn feed; and cloned seeds make about as much sense as cloned
people.We should be vilifying farm-
ers who put steroids in their cows and chickens — and the companies who force them into the practice — the same way we scorn baseball players who use human growth hormone.
Monsanto, Perdue, Smith-field, Cargill and Tyson, along with hundreds of other corpo-rations, are making Americans overweight at disgusting, and unethical, rates.
They don’t physically force people to consume processed sugars and meat, but they’ve made it the only viable option for millions of people through the affordability of their prod-ucts and those products pro-liferation through the market-place.
It’s not even about the envi-ronmental impact or sustain-ability; this is a public health crisis. Companies, under the watch — or lack thereof — of the federal government are es-sentially forcing Americans to supersize themselves with the control they have over the food we eat. Is the bottom line really worth it?
Collectively, we’ll have to pay trillions in public health bills so that a few multinationals be-come fabulously rich. It’s not right, and it has to stop today.
Paying more in the short run for grass-fed meat, free-range eggs, steroid-free milk and local, in-season produce will make the populace healthier — the real solution to health care.
As I sat at McDonald’s and looked at the obesity around me, I realized I would happily pay $10 for the same $4 meal if the food was produced in such a way that it didn’t prematurely kill Americans from diabetes.
I’m not calling for the end of fast food and corporate food production — that’s blithely unrealistic. But it’s time policy makers — which includes all of us three times a day — to issue an edict toward the end of de-ceptively inexpensive food. To let legislators know that obesity and a frail health care system are really symptoms of a bro-ken food system.
Bessie should eat grass; food shouldn’t be synthesized in a lab; and Americans have a right to healthy lives.

the commercial food system and its issues — or lack thereof — to [email protected].

Is it just me, or has the end of the year come a little too quickly this
year? Today’s column is dedicated to some general
advice and lessons I’d like to share about school, f i-nals and — of course — summer.
It boggles my mind w h e n I think about
how much the passed year has changed me. On an over all level, I like to think I’m still the same person as far as my opinions and mental-ity go. However, I’ve learned a lot this year. Very cliché, I know, but also very true. This year, I learned that do-ing what you are good at and doing what you enjoy are two very different concepts. While doing what you are good at may be easy, doing what you enjoy is far more fulfilling, and frankly, has a higher motivation rate. My message: choose to do what you enjoy over what you are good at, career and otherwise.
Another valuable lesson learned is forgiveness. I’ve learned that not only is for-giving someone and mov-
ing on with your life surpris-ingly uplifting, it also puts the situation in a perspective that allows you to take from it the lesson it carries and throw away the rest. Saying “I forgive you” doesn’t mean you’re OK with what has happened, but rather shows you are ready to move on from it. I’ve seen far too many people who want to “fight the problem” and “make a point;” in all reality, it’s a waste of time and makes no difference what-soever in the long run.
As cheesy as it seems, I owe the fact that I learn the things I learn, and make it through each day because of a group of very important people I like to call my friends. They have been caring, understanding, forgiving, tolerant, patient and most importantly, supportive of me — and that means a lot more than I make apparent to them. It’s so incredibly impor-tant to have a very strong sup-port group in today’s world, because, let’s face it, reality is nobody’s best friend; it helps to have friends that make reality just a little bit more tolerable.
Let’s not forget that the rea-son we’re in college is not just a social life. Yes, the time for exams has arrived, and it brings with it stress, fatigue and a lack of time in the day. As harsh as your schedule may be this exam season, make it a point to get in three meals a day, and at least
one hour of complete relax-ation. Find a good book to read, or watch an episode of your favorite show. If all else fails, take a walk across campus and breathe a little. If exam fever really gets to you, just remember that exams mean only two more weeks until the summer.
I’m sure most of you are looking forward to the summer as much as I am; and as move-out gets closer, I find myself less motivated to study that I have all year. If in nothing else, find mo-tivation in this: the reason why we enjoy summer so much is because we work so hard during the year. Why ruin that now?

Ken Farnaso, a freshman in biologi-cal sciences, created his resume at the end of his high school career but has since been forced to rework it.
“I created my original resume in high school,” Farnaso said. “Since then, I have had to update it several times to make sure it reflects what I have accomplished since I have been in college.”
Carol Schroeder, director of the University Career Center, explains that there are many elements that stu-dents need to remember when they are creating, fine-tuning or updating their resumes.
“Different readers are looking at different things on your resume. Em-ployers look for a candidate who is organized, has good communication
skills and work experience,” Schroeder said. “The resume that is most impres-sive is the one that stands out among applicants.”
For example, your work experiences from one job may not fit the require-ments for another position, so there’s no need to include them. Instead, peo-ple should look for items that highlight how they would be a good fit for a par-ticular position.
Schroeder also said that resumes should reflect the personality and style of the individual.
Despite what some may think, there is not one commonly accepted guide-line for how a resume should look. The cardinal rule for writing a resume is to make sure all information presented is accurately and truthfully.
Students should in-clude their objective and education toward the top of the resume. Additional categories such as courses, proj-ects, experience, leader-ship, honors and activities should be prioritized and presented in a way that highlights the candidate’s strengths.
“I have my most important qualifi-cations in reverse chronological order under each subheading,” Sarah Smith, a freshman in First Year College said. “I focused on my accomplishments and activities that demonstrate well-roundedness and leadership.”
Schroeder said employers reading resumes are looking for potential in applicants. The primary messages that should be communicated to the reader are who the student is and what his or her capabilities are. Most employers know in the first three to five seconds of looking at a resume whether or not they want to call someone for an in-terview.
“Students need to have a resume that does not simply list job duties, but one that gives a meaningful and effective description of what they did,” Schroeder said. “Specific examples are needed. Employers want to know what skills were used, what problems were solved and what the value of your ex-perience was.”
Schroeder also said resume updat-ing should be an ongoing process that should occur at least once a semester.
“Updating a resume forces a stu-dent to evaluate where they are in the career decision process,” Schroeder said. “They should be learning to un-derstand who they are, and deciding what experiences are most important to put on a resume helps them consciously figure out which experiences and orga-nizations help them grow as a person.”
Whether you’re looking for summer employment, ap-plying for an internship or preparing to graduate and enter the work force, there’s one thing that you will
definitely need: a resume. By nature, a resume is simply a sum-mary of a person’s accomplishments and work experiences. The main goal is to attract an employer’s interest and land an inter-view, which will hopefully lead to employment.
CREATING A RESUMETHAT WORKS FOR YOU
STUDENT RESUMES SHOULD COMMUNICATE PERSONALITY AND POTENTIAL
LET THE NUMBERS DO THE WORKWhen trying to highlight the work that you’ve
done, quantify your experiences and qualifications with numbers. For example, saying that you increased company profits by 55 percent is a much stronger statement than “increased company profits.”
DO NOT LIELooking for a sure way to not land the job? If so,
just lie on your resume. Sure, your work experiences may not sound as interesting as you think, but refrain from lying on your resume. Credibility is a huge thing, and the last thing that you want to do to tarnish that is start off a potential relationship with a lie. Plus, most companies do background checks and other things to verify information, so to put it simply: be truthful.
Tips for a great resume
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR WORDSAs any English professor will tell you, word choice is
key. When crafting your resume, your goal should be to
highlight your most important traits that will land you
the job. To do this, be sure to use action verbs that show
why you’re qualified, as opposed to telling.
USE BULLET POINTSPersonnel directors and other individuals reading
your resume are generally very busy people. They
simply do not have the time – or the desire – to read
paragraph after paragraph of your academic and
professional accomplishments. In order to present all of
your information in a clear, concise manner, use bullet
points.
STORY BY CHRISTINE URBOWICZ
PROOFREAD, PROOFREAD AND PROOFREAD AGAIN
Before submitting your resume, make sure that you proofread it from beginning to end. In order to do this, actually print out the resume and read it on paper. Do not rely on word processors to do your job for you. It also helps to have another person look over your resume. Often times, another set of eyes will catch things that you do not.
ONE OR TWO PAGES WILL SUFFICESave the long pitches for the interview. Your resume is a
place to provide the employer with a snapshot of yourself. You want to provide him with the bare necessities. All of the irrelevant information should be omitted. For example, when applying for a job in the marketing industry, some work experience that you acquired while working in an unrelated field is not relevant.
KEEP IT SIMPLEAs the old saying says, less is often more. When
creating your resume, this is definitely something to
keep in mind. The idea of the resume is to emphasize
your experiences, not to attract top-level design
agencies. As a general rule of thumb, resumes should
be functional and easy to follow. The most important
information should be listed first and easiest to access.
ACHIEVEMENTS OVER RESPONSIBILITIES
Though both your achievements and responsibilities
are important, achievements bear a bit more weight.
Responsibilities tell what you were responsible for, while
achievements actually tell what you did – and in most
cases what you did well. Plus long lists of responsibilities
are usually boring.
THE RESUME IS NOT AN INTERVIEWDespite what many believe, the resume is not
what usually secures a job. This is the purpose of the interview. In order to land the interview – that may or may not subsequently result in a job – you want to provide employers with a resume that will lead to them requesting an interview.
WHITE SPACE IS YOUR FRIENDResume readers are like most people. They tend
not to enjoy reading gobs and gobs of text. In order to avoid having your resume placed in the trashcan immediately, use white space to provide the reader with an escape.
ORGANIZATION IS THE KEYDo not present the contents of your resume in a
scattered manner. Things should be neatly categorized
and have a clear focus that helps the unified image of
your resume. Employers like to see people that have
everything laid out, not individuals who seem to have
things out of sorts.
HOBBIES ARE FUN, BUT NOT RELEVANTWhile your hobbies and interests tell a lot about
individuals, they have no place on a resume. That
is, unless they are relevant to your work goals and
experiences. Employers don’t really care about the
types of literature you enjoy reading on the beach. They
care about how you can make their company better.
NO FANCY, COLORED PAPERTurning in a pink, scented resume may have helped Elle Woods in “Legally Blonde.” However, in real life these types of resumes have a one-way ticket to the trash bin. In general, resumes should be printed on resume paper that is white, off-white or ivory.

Health care reform: perceptions and realities
Along with this monumental piece of legislation, however, there has been a great deal of turmoil along party lines.
Many argue that this bill stands to incur a lot of unneeded debt. Accord-ing to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), a nonpartisan branch of the Library of Congress, the Unit-
ed States spent about 17 percent of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on health care in 2007. In comparison to other industrialized nations, this figure is significantly higher.
On the flipside, the U.S. was also the only wealthy industrialized country in the world without some kind of
universal health care system before the sweeping legislation was signed into law. Countries with nationalized health care systems, such as France, Canada and the United Kingdom, spent nearly half as much per capita and percent GDP as the United States. Canada spent 9.6 percent of its GDP on its universal health care system. France spent 9.7 percent and the U.K. spent just 7.7 percent of its GDP on health care — less than half of what the U.S. spent.
From many, the sentiment seems to be that some type of health care legis-
lation was needed.The only question was whether
this particular bill was the legislation needed.
For reasons like this, health care re-form has been on the minds of many people. Everyone seems to have a dif-ferent opinion on the matter, and yet very few seem to have a solid idea of what is actually contained in the bill.
Here are ten of the most commonly held beliefs about the new bill:
On March 23, President Barack Obama signed his compre-hensive health care legislation into law. For decades, this has been the mission of many political leaders. However,
until now, no one has been able to deliver on anything similar to the bill that was fast-tracked through Congress a month ago.
The new bill will end the “preexisting condition” clause used by insurance companies: True
Six months after the bill’s enactment, insurance companies can no longer deny children coverage based on a preexisting condition. Insurance companies will not be allowed to deny anyone based on a preexisting condition after 2014.
The bill will close the “doughnut hole” in Medicare D: True
The bill will gradually close the Medicare part D coverage gap (The “hole” is a gap in coverage of prescriptions. If a patient pays between $896.25 and $4,350.25 for prescription medication, Medicare will not cover any of the cost).
The government is “taking over health care”: False
The new law is a regulatory one. No public option or government owned insurance policy would be created as a result of this bill.
The new bill will increase the national debt: False
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the health care reform bill will reduce the national debt by $143 billion over the first 10 years it is enacted.
Someone who does not want health insurance must buy it anyway or pay a fine: True
With some exemptions for low-income people, in 2014 everyone must buy health insurance or pay an annual fine of $695.
Small business owners will have to provide insurance for their employees: False
Businesses with fewer than 50 full-time employees are exempt from the mandate that requires larger ones to provide insurance by 2014.
Tax money will be used to pay for abortions: False The new law separates funds from private premiums and taxpayer funds. To get abortion coverage, a person would have to make a separate payment to another private account. The only exceptions are in cases of rape, incest and when the life of the mother is at risk.
Everyone’s taxes will be raised: False
Only families making more than $250,000 per year and individuals making more than $200,000 a year will see an increase in taxes. Unearned income, or investment income, will be taxed at 3.8 percent in 2012. Indoor tanning beds will be subject to a 10 percent excise tax.
Everyone will be covered: False
Currently, about 47 million Americans are uninsured. The new health care bill is expected to expand coverage to 32 million currently uninsured Americans.

15th place. He was closely fol-lowed by freshman Mitchell Sutton, who placed 21st with a one-over (217).
“Sutton played a great round today when we needed him,” Detweiler said. “And Hogue has been playing well the past couple tournaments. He finished second at our home tournament and he has played solid ball.”
Sutton finished his first ever conference tournament strong, leading the Pack on Sunday with a four-under (68) on the strength of six final-round birdies.
“Mitch is a good player and he is definitely a great addition to the team,” Detweiler said. “And he will be great in the fu-ture, especially if he matures. His performance Sunday is go-ing to help out his confidence as well as our coach’s in him, especially that he can perform like that when we need him. It is definitely good to know that I have a teammate that is a freshman that is capable of doing that.”
Rounding out the Wolfpack’s weekend were senior Brad Rev-ell and sophomore Mark Mc-Millen. Revell finished in 43rd place with a nine-over (225) and McMillen shot a 12-over.

more Harold Riggins said. The lead was cut to one
in the next inning when sophomore designated hit-ter Pratt Maynard drove in Dallas Poulk with a single to right center. The hit was Maynard’s first of the series and his 37th RBI of the sea-son.
Later that inning the Pack took the lead with a t wo out rally, giving it a 7-6 lead. State caught a break in the inning when Rob-bie Anston, t he Eag les centerfielder, made a costly error allowing a pop fly and what would have been the last out of the inning drop in front of him, allowing Maynard to score from sec-ond and give State the one run lead.
However, Boston College tied and retook the lead right back the following inning as Anston made up for his error in the field by leading off the inning with a solo homerun, tying the game at seven. The Eagles then added two more runs
against junior Grant Sasser, State’s third pitcher of the game.
But the Pack would not lie down as it came right back, tied up and retook the lead in the bottom half of the eighth inning. The Pack began the in-ning with two quick outs, but Schaffer and Maynard reached base and then both scored when senior right fielder Drew Poulk drove a ball into the right
center gap for a dou-ble, tying the game a t n i ne . Riggins then gave t he Pack t he le ad when he singled up the middle, scoring on Poulk.
But once again Boston Col-lege answered scoring two runs on Sasser, retaking the lead for good and securing the sweep, making it the second straight game in which the bullpen blew the game.
“We are giving up a lot of two out hits,” Avent said. “We just have to find a way to slam the door and we can’t seem to do that right now. This team, with all the things that happened, deserved a couple wins this weekend and got none.”

to relax and hit the ball, but there’s always pressure,” Presnell said. “We put the ball in play all weekend, but we just couldn’t catch a break.”
Landon Warren, who currently possesses the top average on the team with a
.320 batting average and man-aged the team’s lone hit Sunday, was upbeat about the team’s performance.
“We have a ton of heart on this team and a top potential to be great,” Warren said. “Every-body contributes, we have good chemistry, and we just have to focus on getting the job done.”
Even though the team lost the series, Campana knows that they need to keep up the
good play next weekend against Georgia Tech.
“We have to earn everything, we know that,” Campana said. “Maryland’s a middle of the pack team and trying to get better, so they weren’t going to take it easy, and neither will Georgia Tech next weekend.”

Ninth inning woes continue to plague team
Taylor Barbour Deputy Sports Editor
In one of the biggest series of the year, the N.C. State Wolf-pack’s defense sputtered as the team was swept this past weekend by the Boston Col-lege Golden Eagles. The team had 11 total errors in the three games. It missed out on a prime opportunity to distance itself from Boston College and Vir-ginia Tech as all three teams came into the weekend tied in sixth place.
“All weekend I think we felt like we were the better team, we just weren’t showing it,” sopho-more third baseman Andrew Ciencin said. “Today we finally got the bats going. We just nev-er got a break all weekend. But that’s baseball for you.”
In the first game of the series, Pack senior starting pitcher Jake Buchanan picked up the loss as he allowed eight runs in five and one-third innings. However four of those runs we unearned. After that the Pack could not muster enough of-fense to get back in the game and lost 9-5. A late inning comeback by Boston College in Saturday’s game cost the Pack a win and the series when the Ea-gles retook the lead in the ninth inning off of relief pitcher Rob Chamra, winning 10-8.
Sunday’s game was a back and forth affair between the two teams with a combined five lead changes, 26 hits and 21 runs. However, the Pack fell short as Boston College came back once again in the top of the ninth to beat State 11-10. Junior Grant Sasser (2-3) picked up the loss, while Kevin
Moran picked up his seventh win of the season. With the loss, the Pack drops to 9-12 in ACC play and 23-17 overall.
“I do not know if we had a break this weekend,” coach El-liott Avent said. “I don’t know if anything went out way. It seems like every call, every bounce, every break didn’t go our way at all this weekend.”
The Eagles jumped on the board early as Boston College put up three quick runs on State’s senior starting pitcher Alex Sogard. The Pack cut into the deficit in the bottom of the third inning when junior center fielder Russell Wilson
blasted a two run home run over the left field wall, taking the score to 3-2.
But the Eagles tacked on an-other three runs in the top of the fourth inning, extending its lead to 6-2. In the next inning, Sogard was chased out of the game after hitting the leadoff batter, finishing with four in-nings pitched while giving up five earned runs on nine hits.
“Those first few innings, all weekend they just killed us,” Ciencin said. “We just made mental mistakes out in the field that just did us in. It puts our pitcher in a hole and he has to work a lot harder than
he should, and that has to be fixed if we want to go where we want to go this year.”
In the bottom of the sixth, the Pack threatened the Eagles as it loaded the bases when Har-old Riggins and Wilson both walked and Ciencin singled, but the team was only able to get one run across, courtesy of a pass ball, when pinch hitter Danny Canela flew out for the final out of the inning.
“They can swing it just like we can, they just made fewer mistakes than we did and just took advantage of big situa-tions. When they got guys on base they got key hits,” sopho-
Defending champ leads way with third place finish

Three Wolfpack golfers finished in the top-25 of the 55-player field, and State fin-ished seventh as a team at the 2010 ACC Men’s Golf Champi-onship in New London.
“We are not pleased with our finish,” junior Brandon Detweiler said. “We are a very good team and seventh place is not acceptable. We are a much better team than that. Every tournament we go to, we want to win and I feel like we are good enough to win every tournament.”
Junior Matt Hill, the de-fending national champion, led the way with a third place finish after entering Sunday’s third and final day of action in
a tie for first place. But a year after taking home a share of the individual ACC title with a 10-under (206), Hill struggled Sunday, finishing the weekend with a seven-under (209) af ter windy weather ham-pered him on d ay t h re e , when he shot a t wo-over (74).
“Matt played well as usual,” Det-weiler said. “But he did not play well today, which hurt.”
Hill’s effort helped the Pack to a two-over (866) finish, good enough for seventh place in the 11-team tournament, which Georgia Tech ran away with by shooting 23-under (841), 10 strokes better than the second place Virginia Cavaliers. The
Pack shot one-under (287) on both the first and final days of the tournament, but its four-over (292) per-formance Saturday caused
the team to f inish three plac-es lower t h a n i t did a year ago, when Hill’s victory spear-headed State’s
fourth place finish.After Hill, the best Pack
performer was senior Adam Hogue. Hogue shot a two-under (70) Sunday and posted a one-under (215) tournament total to take
Team comes up short despite strong defense and pitching
Dan SmithStaff Writer
In a battle between two evenly matched teams, runs were at a premium during the series between N.C. State and Maryland this weekend since neither team scored more than two runs or recorded more than five hits in any game. A 2-0 victory in game one would be the only one of the weekend as State dropped games two and three by the scores of 2-0 and 1-0, respectively.
The Pack entered play spor t i ng a 27-21 (8 -7 ACC) record. Their oppo-nents f rom College Park, Md. came into the series with a similar 27-18 record and 5-9 in conference play. The teams lived up to their even records with a series of close, low scor-ing affairs at Curtis & Jacque-line Dail Softball Stadium.
State pulled out a hard-fought victory in game one on the back of a 72 pitch, five hit performance from ace pitcher Lindsay Campana. The team scratched out two hard fought runs in the bottom of the 8th inning that would prove to be all the team needed to hold on to the lead.
In game two, the team con-tinued to put balls in play, but was stymied by bad luck and
failed to push across any runs. Buoyed by this good luck and a strong performance from their starter, Maryland managed two runs of their own, again in the 8th inning. A strong perfor-mance from sophomore pitcher Stephanie Call, who gave up four hits, walked one and struck out five was not enough.
Game three was the rub-ber match between these two stalemated squads. Campana again took the pitcher’s circle and hurled a complete game, fanning nine batters. Her stel-lar performance on the mound was matched by her team-mates’ splendid defense, but
the Wolfpack managed only one hit in the game and were un-able to mount much of an offensive fight against the Terps.
The lack of scoring led to
added pressure on the defense to step up. First baseman and right fielder Allison Presnell made numerous strong plays in the field throughout the series.
“The defense has gotten bet-ter throughout the seasons,” Presnell said. “We’ve focused on the fundamentals all year and it’s paid off.”
The evenly matched teams struggled to put runs on the board, which led to every at bat having that much more import and pressure.
“We put pressure on our-selves to do well. We just have
