Undocumented students struggle for equality Mark Herring Editor-in-Chief

Each year, an estimated 65,000 undocumented-immigrant students graduate from high school in the United States. In North Carolina, 1,500 of these students would not qualify for in-state tuition at UNCSystem universities. Though this is a common policy among many states, one school in Colorado is changing the status quo in immigrant treatment.

This semester, Metropolitan State University in Denver, Colo., i s offering a decreased tuition rate for students who would be Colorado residents if they weren’t undocumented immigrants. Catherine Lucas, a spokeswoman for Metro State, said the growing amount of Latino immigrants created a great need to serve Hispanic students, no matter their immigration statuses.

The university lowered the rate for undocumented students from the out-of-state annual rate of $15,985 to $7,157.

“Colorado is the fifth largest Hispanic state, and we reflect that in our student body, with 19.2 percent of the student population being Latino,” Lucas said. “We are the most diverse four-year institution in the nation, and we have more than 275 undocumented Hispanic students attending our university.”

Of those 275 is sophomore Sarahi Hernández, 19, who said the discounted tuition rate would allow her to immerse herself in her studies instead of having to worry about paying for school with her earnings.

“It doesn’t mean I won’t have to work,” Hernández said in the New York Times. “But it will allow me to get my dream going.”

Though Hernández advocated for fellow Latinos to demand their rights, North Carolina’s Board of Governors’ admission guidelines for undocumented immigrants states that students will be considered for the 18 percent cap on out of state admissions and are not eligible for federal financial aid.

One student affected by North Carolina’s policies is Maria Ramírez,

N.C. State fans celebrate victory after the football game against Florida State in Carter-Finley Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012. The Wolfpack took down the No. 3 Seminoles in a nail-biting 17-16 victory.

Pack stuns No. 3 Seminoles Jonathan Stout Deputy Sports Editor

After being held scoreless during the first half, N.C. State (4-2, 1-1 ACC) rallied back, scoring 17 unanswered points in the second half to defeat No. 3 Florida State (5-1, 3-1 ACC) Saturday night at Carter-Finley Stadium.

Graduate student quarterback found redshirt sophomore receiver Brian Underwood for a 2-yard touchdown, giving the Pack a one point lead with 16 seconds left on the team’s final drive.

The last time State took on the Seminoles at Carter-Finley Stadium, in 2010, Florida State was ranked No. 16 and fell to the Wolfpack in similar dramatic fashion under the lights, 28-24.

“Tonight was tremendous. Our fans were great,” head coach Tom O’Brien said. “They helped us from the start. This crowd really helps fill our gas tank in a game like this.”

Saturday’s victory marks the highest ranked opponent defeated

by State since 1998. Florida State, ranked No. 2 at the time, and fell to the Wolfpack 24-7.

Following last week’s loss to Miami, the team called a players-only meeting where senior leaders spoke up behind closed doors. According to O’Brien, Director of Athletics Debbie Yow also spoke with the team.

“It’s all about the next game, it’s all about executing,” captain and senior linebacker Sterling Lucas said.

“Nobody else is going to believe in us—we have to believe in ourselves.

We have to come together and get the job done.”

The offense started with three straight three-and-outs, followed by a fourth drive ending with Glennon throwing his lone interception.

Sophomore punter Will Baumann compiled more yards in the first half, 212 yards, than the entire Wolfpack offense.

With the offense being held to an abysmal 68 yards in the first half and

the team being shut out, the Wolfpack refused to quit, scoring on it’s first drive of the third quarter.

Glennon led the Pack down the field and set up a 27-yard field goal by sophomore placekicker Niklas Sade to cut the Seminole lead to 16-3.

Following another punt by Baumann on the ensuing drive, the defense played tough, hanging with one of the top offenses in the country. On third and ten, freshman defensive back intercepted Florida State redshirt senior quarterback EJ Manuel, returning the ball to the State 41-yard line.

“It was a big pick but my teammates set me up, my coaches set me up,” Burris said. “They told me right where to be so I’ve got to give all the credit to them.”

The interception was Burris’ first of the season and of his career.

State capitalized from the FSU turnover as the team drove down the field in seven plays en route to the endzone. Glennon connected with freshman running back

Shadrach Thornton for a 24-yard touchdown, giving the team and Wolfpack faithful hope.

The defense continued to stay with the high flying FSU offense, holding them and forcing them to punt the ball away on three consecutive drives.

On the third punt attempt, freshman defensive end Mike Rose broke through the Seminole line and got his hand on the ball, blocking the punt and sending it out of bounds at the Florida State 43-yard line, setting the offense up in great field possession to take the lead.

According to Rose, he took the spot of sophomore Logan Winkles, who was injured earlier in the game.

Glennon and the offense took over with 2:27 remaining on the clock.

On the drive the Wolfpack was faced with a fourth down situation three times — and they converted all three. Glennon, the appointed offensive captain, looked like a field

Students, alumni and American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) attorneys gathered on the UC Davis Quad Sept. 26 to discuss a recent settlement between the university and the plaintiffs of last November’s pepper spray incident in which a police officer sprayed peacefully protesting students with military-grade pepper spray.

The settlement, approved by the UC Board of Regents in a mid-September meeting, would distribute $1 million: $630,000 to the 21 plaintiffs, $250,000 to be split between their attorneys, $100,000 to be put aside for individuals who were pepper sprayed but have yet to come forward and $20,000 to the ACLU in exchange for collaborative work on university reform.

UC Davis Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi will also issue personal apologies to each person who was pepper sprayed.

At the conference, plaintiffs gathered to share their experiences from

UC Davis.

The first reform is a complete internal reorganization of the police department, a process which began with Police Chief Annette Spicuzza’s resignation on April 18 and her replacement by Matthew Carmichael. The university’s aims are to make the police, specifically bicycle police, appear more approachable and part of the community, while also improving training that teaches how to handle student protest.

The second is a clarification and adjustment of the roles of students, faculty and staff in managing incidents on campus and moving the three groups to the fore while minimizing the role of police for nonvolatile incidents.

The third in the series of reforms is a complete reexamination of the UC Davis guidelines for freedom of expression, a process led by the Academic Senate of UC Davis. This step is ongoing, and there has been much talk of the final outcome of the discussion.

Finally, the university plans to address aftereffects from the pepper spray incident, making efforts to keep the community involved in police policy. This process has just begun and will move forward more quickly starting in October, according to Shiller.

“We’re not just doing this alone,” Shiller said. “In addition to what we’re doing, there is a UC system-wide review of campus police

guidelines and practices.”

The University Office of the President (UCOP) will coordinate and run the reform recommendations for all 10 UC police departments.

The ACLU, contacted by individuals who were pepper sprayed, now plans to work closely with UC Davis officials to ensure that the events of last November do not happen again.

“This happened because Davis simply did not have the types of policies to ensure that when there are demonstrations, the administration and police act in a certain way,” said Michael Risher, an ACLU staff attorney who attended the Sept. 26 press conference. “We want to make sure free speech is not just tolerated, but encouraged.”

The importance of the reforms is not lost on some of the plaintiffs, such as Ian Lee, a secondyear student in environmental policy analysis and planning, who was pepper sprayed and in attendance at the press conference.

“I think the settlement is a step in the right direction, but we need to do more,” he said. “If campus police are to exist, they must be accountable to the students.”

The settlement is still awaiting court approval.

a sophomore in computer engineering. Ramírez said she is not afraid to tell others she is undocumented, and said it’s this bold attitude that has pushed her and other students in her situation to go to college.

“When you’re undocumented, from the moment you are in high school, you have this idea that you will never go to college,” Ramírez said. “Everything in the system is meant to be discouraging, and it’s ref lected in the outcomes of the youth.

One of my best friends from high school has fathered two more children, another one is in jail and two of them are alcoholics. You could say that’s their fault, but the moment they step into the school system, they are not being treated equally.”

Ramírez, a native of Tijuana, Mexico, is the oldest of seven children and is on academic scholarships to pay the $19,000 semester tuition at N.C. State. She said she is grateful to be in the United States because of the crime rate in her hometown.

“My grandmother [in Mexico] has been robbed twice this year,” Ramírez said. “She even got robbed while at my grandfather’s funeral.”

Though returning to this situation is not ideal for Ramírez, she said she chose engineering because of its versatility and validity in Latin America, in the case she were to leave the United States.

Despite the adversity undocumented-immigrant students face and the uncertainty of their futures, Ramírez urged undocumented Latinos to continue advocating for themselves as contributors to the United States.

“These students are valuable resources,” Ramírez said.

“Most of us are bilingual and have many problem solving skills that we’ve acquired from our backgrounds based on struggle. With its policies, a state like North Carolina is losing great minds in the process. We would love to stay here and give back to our community, non-Latino and Latino alike. We love this place — after all, it’s where we have grown up.”

Beer culture make Triangle more attractive Naomi Whidden Correspondent

Durham’s 17th annual World Beer Festival united more than 150 local microbreweries and attracted approximately 4,000 beer drinkers to the Durham Bull’s Athletic Park Saturday.

The World Beer Festival attracted thousands of people to promote its founder and sponsoring organizations, All About Beer Magazine, and local microbreweries. A portion of the proceeds from the festival will also benefit The Carolina Theatre.

The event was held at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park Oct. 6 and included familiar microbreweries like Big Boss Brewing Co., LoneRider Brewing Co. and Natty Greene’s Brewing Co. Four local bands played in pairs along with the afternoon and evening sessions of the festival.

The Family, a five-artist

group based out of Greensboro, N.C., was the first band featured at the festival and delivered an electrifying performance that lilted from trippy jamming to bluegrass to folk rock. The Fritz displayed the Triangle’s diverse local scene, performing a variety of styles such as funk and classical and drawing inspiration from techniques like improvisation.

Other sets included the Chalwa, a High Country Reggae group based out of Asheville, and the Children of the Horn, with funky world and jazz overtones.

The festival is one of many initiatives adding culturally diversity to the Triangle.

Raleigh and Durham have been praised for their quality of universities, thriving economy and abundant research.

Now, with publication of the book The Rise of the Creative Class, the Triangle is ranked among the top six areas and regions to attract this devel-

oping, new study of social grouping.

Members of the creative class engage in “creating meaningful new forms,” however vague in definition, the Triangle area is filled with these creative class members.

The heart of the class comprises brewers, engineers, researchers, cultural figures, novelists and other creative professionals.

Richard Florida, the author of the renowned new book, claims that the creative class, including the microbrewers of the Durham World Beer Festival, account for twothirds of the economy. Providing the region with this group’s lifestyle interests is vital to the region’s future and productivity.

“And that will position you to compete better for people, generate more companies and grow your economy,” Florida said.

Chancellor rewards innovation Naomi Whidden Correspondent

The Ch ancellor’s Innovation Fund recently rewarded seven research groups for their innovative ideas and potential for product marketing.

During the University’s Board of Trustees meeting on April 20, Chancellor Randy Woodson reported that the purpose of the initiative was to provide short-term funding that would promote the commercial value of the University’s research and support pro-technology marketing activities.

On Sept. 19, the seven groups were announced, and the list includes ideas and products that could be seen on the market in the next few years.

Lee-Ann Jaykus, a widely published author and professor at N.C. State, received the Chancellor’s Innovation Fund for her national research in developing more efficient methods of detecting noroviruses in water, food and the human body.

The group is focusing on sensitivity and specificity in detection technologies and viral diagnostics to create a new market for norovirus detection, as opposed to the traditional bacterial detection currently dominating food production and water treatment facilities.

“This project seeks to develop innovative technologies to develop commercially reliable methods to detect noroviruses in both patients as well as in food and environmental samples,” Jaykus said.

While Jaykus works to protect people from viral invaders, engineering professor Afsaneh Rabiei plans to use the CIF to protect people from weapons damage.

ast Tuesday, when the Fee Review Advisory Committee met to vote on student fee requests for the coming academic year, there was an unusual student presence in the conference room.

T he Su stainabilIshan Raval ity Fund, a Deputy student-led Viewpoint venture Editor me a nt to raise money for green projects on campus, was on the line. For a request of $10, Student Senate had sent a recommendation of $0 to the Committee.

And so, in a final attempt to advocate for the Fund, environmentalists on campus f locked to the meeting with signs and bated breath.

The Committee had to review eight requests.

The recommendations sent by Student Senate to the Committee for most proposed fee increases were less than the amounts requested, though it was only for Sustainability and Intercollegiate Athletics that the recommendation was $0. The first three fees on the agenda were for UAB, Student Publications and Student Center Operations, each of which was approved by the Committee for an amount slightly greater than the median score it had coming into the meeting. Fourth was the Sustainability Fund.

Those in favor of the fee reasoned that despite its median score of $0, and other qualms regarding the usage of the money, this was visibly a cause students cared deeply about. Thus, following some debate and an amendment, the Sustainability Fund was passed for $3 by the Committee, to be sent along to the next stages of approval from the Chancellor, Board of Trustees and Board of

Governors. As soon as the vote was over, the tension in the room turned into jubilation. The students left the room, and within no time, celebrations could be heard outside. The Sustainability Fund was almost certain to become reality.

But how big a victory is this for environmentalism on campus as a whole, rather than for just this project?

Were the sustainability advocates missing the big picture?

The next fee was for Recreational Sports, approved for its median score of $14.90.

The one af ter, however, was for Athletics, also with a recommendation of $ 0 from Student Senate despite a requested $17.50. Would the Committee also give an equivalent amount of money to Athletics, as much or greater than the recommendation they had received?

Although for a large por tion of the deliberations it appeared that the Committee would uphold the Senate’s choice, there was a successful amendment to the amount they started with, and eventually, the Athletics fee was approved for $5.

The enviros left the meeting too early.

They should have waited to find out what happened to the Athletics fee, because that would have told them whether there was anything special about the Sustainability Fund in the Committee’s eyes; whether it saw real importance in sustainability as a cause in itself. Environmentalists must view their actions within the broader context of the environmental struggle and the current state of the planet. The Sustainability Fund is but a means to an ecologically sound world, not an end in itself.

Though it is natural to feel satisfied about each step

forward, such steps indicate holistic success only if they are taken with the necessary urgency and intention. Faced with the reality of impending ecological collapse, the proceedings of the meeting did not indicate that the environmental movement is moving forward with the required urgency and intention. That is the big picture these environmentalists did not seem mindful of ­— to gauge it, they should have stayed in the room and assessed the comprehensive attitude demonstrated by the Committee toward environmentalism through their vote on Athletics.

What happened is not bad, because the Fund will make a difference. But a $3 per person fee, allowed by t he C ommittee just because it is “a statement made by the students,” is going to be a mere drop in the ocean. A meaningful one, perhaps, but a drop all the same. Instead, what would have made it good is if it reflected a shift in consciousness toward perceiving environmentalism with genuine care and relevance, especially by those who (for better or worse) make important decisions about our society.

The sheer utility of the fund is not enough for its approval to stand out as an overall victory for environmentalism — given the uphill fight environmentalists face, a change in attitude toward keen ecological sensitivity on the part of the Committee is what would have brought good tidings for the larger reality being fought for. A mass transformation in values is necessary today — mere tokenism, such as the decision last Tuesday, is simply not enough.

“The sheer utility of the fund is not enough for its approval to stand out as an overall victory for its approval. ”

The concentration is run and taught by one of my mentors, Lewis Sheats, a serial entrepreneur. The classes are great for educating young entrepreneurs ; however, there needs to be a more symbiotic, cohesive relationship between colleges.

Yes, there are clubs like CEO and the NCSU Entrepreneurship Initiative that meet and talk about ways to launch companies, have guest speakers and go on tours of companies in the Triangle. However, according to Sheats, these clubs do not have enough engineers showing up at their meetings.

What’s missing is the step where the visionary meets the person who has the technical skills and/or experience to carry out that vision.

What about all of the ideas that get lost? What about the person who has a simple idea that could change the way things are done, but can’t find the person willing to help them do it?

It goes back to the old saying: “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”

There must be some way that entrepreneurs and technical advisors can get together and talk about their ideas. It happens by accident all the time.

A website visionary can talk with his friends about his idea. Maybe someone they met in their dorm freshman year knows someone in computer engineering who can write code. A fashion visionary might meet someone at a party who is in textiles and the two of them can design the new form of clothing they had in mind before taking it to market.

meet purely by coincidence.

However, this leaves too much up to chance ...

I started a company a couple of months ago with the vision of making a website, a new form of social networking that I know engineers in this school would at least be interested in learning about.

However, I don’t know very many engineers. The ones I do know are already involved in the company: three guys that I met somewhere along the way in my graduate years — Tim Kjewski, Derek Allred and Tynan Devries. My team is incomplete, as are many others.

The network is not there. I learned and sat next to students in Nelson Hall, not in Engineering Building II. Undergraduate business majors and engineers do not even have classes on the same campus. Simply put, there is no formal social setting in place for them to meet on a consistent basis.

“We see the need to put students with different educational backgrounds in the same room. Diversification leads to stronger teams,” Sheats said.

What I propose is an intercollege club that solicits students from all over campus who are interested in one thing: start-ups. Start-ups are fun to talk about among your friends, but the more you get to talk about your ideas with people who can actually help you, the better off any startup will be. A project manager needs a team, and without his or her team, any idea no matter how big or small can simply vanish with time.

The Entrepreneurship Initiative at N.C. State may be a step in the right direction.

“We’re going to have a board in the EI garage [to put] the idea you have, your contact information and what positions you need filled,” Justin Setzer, an ambassador for the EI, said.

The platform is there, the resources are there — it’s up to students to start actively pursuing the resources that are available to build the networks that lead to start-ups.

Professors flip the classroom

Jordan Alsaqa Associate Features Editor

Most students know the standard order of things in the average classroom. Two or three times a week, they gather to hear a teacher lecture on topics relevant to the course before they are sent home with some amount of reading and homework to complete. For many, this is simply the way the educational process goes.

However, in recent years, the advance of technology has provided an opportunity for some teachers to shake up the system and explore a new way to engage students in their courses. Using a system known as course delivery reversal, or “flipping the classroom,” educators are finding new ways to present material.

The idea of CDR was discussed Oct. 3 in a presentation called “Why Persistent Lecturing in Class is a Lousy Way to Teach and Learn … and What You Can Do About It.” The event was a part of the Campus Writing & Speaking Program and was hosted by Chris Anson, director of the program and a professor of English, and Deanna Dannels, the assistant director and a professor of communications.

“Our topic is focused on reframing the way you think

about teaching towards students,” Dannels said, speaking to a room of mostly educators.

In a regular course, students attend a straight lecture in the classroom and are then expected to apply what they learn to assignments at home.

With CDR, the opposite approach is taken; lectures and other relevant material is viewed online by students, with in-class time aimed at tackling the application of that information.

The goal of CDR is to allow teachers to be more readily available to address issues students are having with material while also giving them more control.

Anson said that for him, one issue with traditional education methods is that it treats students as empty vessels ready to absorb whatever the professor is lecturing about.

“This is problematic on many levels,” Anson said.

“We’re never really sure of what’s going on in students’ heads.”

With a flipped classroom, professors are able to spend time actively working with students and seeing what they are having problems with.”

The idea of a flipped classroom is still a relatively new one, but the program has seen several successes across nu-

merous subjects and levels of education.

Eric Mazur, a physics professor at Harvard, has students answer a few questions at home, allowing for a focus on questioning rather than telling in the class. Mazur believes the process creates a collective sense of learning among students.

Jose Bowen, the dean of Southern Methodist University’s Meadows School of the Arts, has also done work with the flipped classroom, developing the “Teaching Naked” method. Bowen has

produced podcast versions of his lectures, allowing for no computers in the classroom.

“The idea is that I’m not teaching with all of the technology in class,” Bowen said.

“We deal with problems and questions and not with answers.”

Attendees to the event were also given a small taste of how CDR works. A short introductory lecture on the International Phonetic Alphabet, featuring Anson, was shown as it would be online. Participants were then given example problems related with

translating into IPA. Anson moved around the room, checking in with groups as they worked.

“The key is trying to foster engagement,” Dannels said.

“Having students do something gets them engaged with that material.”

The discussion also addressed possible concerns some may have, such as how to keep students accountable for viewing material outside of class. The creation of a class discussion forum or having students write three questions they had about the

material gave simple methods to keep things on track.

Overall, though, one of the major focuses of the CDR method is not only to increase the level of involvement that students have in the classroom, but to allow teachers to better understand and connect with the students on an educational level.

“Our goal is to try to help them integrate that new knowledge into what they already know,” Anson said. “[There’s a] transition from [being a] sage on the stage to a guide on the side.”

Zimride offers a safer version of ridesharing Jordan Alsaqa Associate Features Editor

For college students without a car, finding a way to visit home can be a bit of a hassle. However, with the help of the Zimride program at N.C. State, students no longer have to turn to shady sites such as Craigslist when they are in need of someone to share a ride with.

Launched in 2007, Zimride is an online system designed to allow people to find rides through social networking.

By searching the date and length of the ride they are seeking, participants can be

matched to preapproved drivers within their network.

Bolstered by several features unique to the University, Zimride offers a solid option for students in need of transportation.

Curtis Rogers, university partnerships manager for Zimride, said that the program has already seen a great amount of success.

“We’ve seen critical mass at just about all of our colleges,” Rogers said. “It’s been really good on the east and west coasts.”

Zimride works through a simple system for users.

tion about the ride they are seeking passengers for. Students are then able to search among these posts to find a driver they would be comfortable driving with. Users are given the ability to see a variety of information on different drivers, including their rules on smoking and musical preferences.

Once passengers and driver get in contact with one another, they are able to discuss payment and division of costs, with the Zimride site facilitating payment through PayPal. Helping to set Zimride apart is the system of security checks that participants go through.

“What we do is we offer multiple layers of security features,” Rogers said. “Ev-

ing.

Students can also connect with Zimride members at other schools in the area.

Currently, four other schools are available through the N.C. State network, including Wake Forest and UNCChapel Hill.

Another beneficial feature for students is Zimride’s partnership with Zipcar. The joint program allows for the use of vehicles rented through Zipcar to be used for Zimride trips.

Currently, the focus of Zimride is on providing connections for trips within a range of four to six hours.

“What we’ve found is that that people are interested in sharing relatively shorter rides, but still a solid distance,” Rogers said.

The longer a trip, the harder it can become for matches to be found. Conversely, although the service isn’t aimed at short, around-town trips, a mobile-based service called Lyft is being developed.

Currently available only in the San Francisco area, Lyft allows for users to find drivers on a more immediate basis, allowing for rides within the city area. While not available on a larger scale yet, Lyft is an example of future projects that are being developed under the Zimride label.

Overall, Zimride aims to offer a valuable service to students unable to make long trips either on their own or without the assistance of other passengers. With a fair amount of success already seen around the country, Zimride hopes to continue to offer its unique ridesharing services with a social networking twist.

“Most people try Zimride initially because it’s such a good way to save money,” Rogers said, “but they come back because they have had such a great experience.”

Students looking to find a ride and possibly make a new friend on the road can learn more at zimride.ncu.edu.

Turning a blind eye to adversity Emma Cathell Staff Writer

If twirling batons successfully is hard, imagine spinning and catching batons that are lit with fire. And if that doesn’t sound difficult enough, imagine doing these activities with your eyes closed.

That is, in some ways, what it’s like for N.C. State’s Majorette Instructor, Bethany Schreiner. Her achievements do not end at being a twirler on the United States team while growing up or being a university majorette coach.

“I have a degenerative disease that’s genetic called Stargardt Macular Dystrophy,” Schreiner said. “When I was about 16 years old, I realized that my eyesight was going very quickly. I could tell that there was a big change. It was about the time I was about to get my driver’s license, and I couldn’t pass the eye exam. I kept going to all these doctors and finally, after four years of going to specialists, they found out that I had this rare disease that’s causing me to lose my eyesight in the center of my eye.”

Schreiner lost most of her central vision, but still has her peripheral vision. She cannot see objects far away from her, but can see things that are nearby and large.

“It was tough because ... this disease is really rare, and my doctors didn’t really know what was going on,” Schreiner said. “They had actually thought that it was due to stress because my mom had just passed away. It was kind of a relief when I was finally diagnosed because I knew I wasn’t doing this to myself.”

Stargardt’s disease is so rare that it took professional doctors and medical specialist four years to finally diagnose Schreiner at 20-years-old. In 1901, German ophthalmologist Karl Stargardt first reported the juvenile macular degeneration, which is how the disease got its name.

According to the American Macular Degeneration Foundation, macular degeneration is a group of diseases that consist of having a loss of central vision. Stargardt’s disease affects about 30,00050,000 Americans.

Stargardt’s begins to damage both eyes between the ages of 6 and 20. Typically, children first notice the impairment due to difficulties in reading or gray, black or hazy spots in their central vision. There are no cures for this disease as of now and there is not much that can be done to slow the disease’s progression.

“The hardest thing for me to get used to was not being able to read,” Schreiner said.

“I read really slowly and it was hard to go from being such a great reader, someone who read all the time, to just being very slow at reading. ... I only recently gotten back to reading because of the new technology, like the NOOK and [Amazon] Kindle, because I can enlarge print to the size I need.”

Although the disease started to take away Schreiner’s eyesight, she said she could not let the disease win. Even though she was struggling with her eyesight, she continued to do what she loved, which was twirling — a decision that determined how she would cope.

“The whole time that I wasn’t diagnosed, I continued to twirl. I learned to twirl without using my eyes basi-

cally,” Schreiner said. “I look at it as the feeling of it coming off your hands and placing your baton and knowing where it is. Instead of really just seeing it and running for it, I think about it differently.

So, I just continued to do it and here I am. I can’t drive and I can’t read regular-sized print, but for some reason, I can still twirl. It’s crazy.”

Twirling helped Schreiner get through the loss of her mother and the loss of her eyesight during high school.

It was an outlet for her to only worry about baton and dance, and besides that, her coach and team were there for her. “[My coach f rom t he United States team] Sherry Vignoli Parisi is one of the most inspirational people I have ever met,” Schreiner said. “She’s terrifying to me still to this day. She doesn’t accept anything but the best and she never gave up on me or told me to quit. She just continued to expect the best from me. I see her at nationals every year and it just blows my mind when she gives me a hug and tells me that she’s proud of me.”

Schreiner said that she could not just give up what she loved so much and what was such a major part of her life. Not only had she been twirling since she was three, but it was also a connection to her mother.

“My mom signed me up for dance lessons and they just so happened to have baton lessons too,” Schreiner said. “So I just started twirling and it turned out that I loved it and that I was pretty good at it, so I kept doing it.”

Schreiner grew up in Pennsylvania and later joined the United States baton twirling team, a nationally ranked team. Schreiner competed in nationals every year, and during her time on the team, they won 11 national championships. When she was 17 in 1996, her team qualified for worlds in Italy.

After Schreiner graduated from high school, she made a few choices that greatly affected the direction she wanted to go in life.

“Through 1997 to 2000, I took the years off because I had started college at Ohio University and they didn’t have majorettes,” Schreiner said. “Then I realized that I wanted to be in North Carolina and I found out the program they had for majorettes at State, so I transferred here.”

As it turns out, making that life-altering decision was for the best.

“I absolutely loved twirling at N.C. State,” Schreiner said.

“When I was just finishing up, the coach who was here before ended up having to move to Virginia. So the position became available and I didn’t want to see the program end, so I started coaching right away.”

Thanks to Schreiner, the program not only survived, but has also continued on strongly ever since.

“I was an N.C. State majorette from 2001-2005 and then I started coaching in 2005 and I’ve been here ever since,” Schreiner said. “It’s been 11 years since I’ve been here. So I haven’t missed a football game in 11 years.”

Schreiner said she absolutely loves her job and what she is doing at the University. She wouldn’t want it any other way.

“Coaching is very rewarding, and I feel lucky that I get to do it and that I get paid to go to football games,” Sch-

reiner said. “It’s really fun and I just think it’s an exciting job. I plan to stay here as long as I can because it’s the best job in the world.”

There are six girls on the majorette team at the University and both the girls and Schreiner said their team feels like a family. Schreiner looks at her girls as younger sisters, while they look up to her as their inspiration.

“Over the past five years, Bethany has become much more to me than a baton coach,” Stephanie Ross, senior in arts application and captain of the N.C. State majorette team, said. “Bethany is not only my friend, but the person that I aspire to be like the most. … Twirling at N.C. State means everything to me. It has been my dream to twirl for N.C. State University since I was eight years old. I can remember watching Bethany twirl for the marching band and dreaming of being like her one day.” ­­Stargardt’s disease became a part of Schreiner’s life when she was 16. It brought her many obstacles and changes, but she has taken them in stride. “[Stargardt’s] has made me patient and it’s made me believe that I really can accomplish anything if I set my mind to it,” Schreiner said. “I don’t let my disease stop me.

I think that I am the way I am because this happened, and I like me the way I am.

Men’s soccer suffers loss against rival Blue Devils Andrew Schuett Staff Writer

The N.C. State men’s soccer team lost 1-0 at home to instate rivals Duke Friday night at Dail Soccer Field.

The Wolfpack (7-5, 0-4 AC C ) h ad t he majority of scoring opportunities throughout the match, but couldn’t capitalize on any of them. The Blue Devils (4-5-1, 2-2-1 ACC) only needed two opportunities to stick the ball in the back of the net.

“We talked about the fact that [Duke’s] only strength is restarts and we gave up a goal early in the game,” head coach Kelly Findley said. “It’s frustrating to give that up and play pretty well, but we lacked conviction in the first half and I think that cost us the game.”

Both teams came out of the blocks full of energy, which resulted in neither squad keeping any significant possession due to dogged defensive play early in the game.

After ten minutes, the game slowed down just enough for State to carve out its first chance.

Junior midfielder Alex Martinez played a “dummy” when a pass came his

way. The move completely fooled the Duke defender at his back, and Martinez was off to the races down the right wing. The run, which started at the midfield line, continued 50 yards all the way to Duke’s 18-yard box, where Martinez tricked his way past two more Blue Devil defenders before firing his shot just wide left of the Duke goal.

“I don’t think we defended really well in the game,” Findley said. “I think we gave them a little too much room at times. In the end I don’t think they were super dangerous, but we didn’t capitalize on our chances and they scored a goal.”

Martinez’s play sparked his team to life as the Pack started to get better possession of Duke’s half of the field. State earned free kicks and multiple corners in the ensuing minutes after the run of Martinez, but couldn’t capitalize because of either shots off target or poor set piece deliveries.

In the 25th minute, however, Duke made the Pack pay for wasting its early chances.

The Blue Devils’ right-winger slipped past State’s defense to the by-line and fired in a dangerous cross right across

the goal mouth. Nobody was there to meet it and State kicked the ball out for a corner kick. On the ensuing corner, Duke headed the ball into the far corner of State’s net. The header left State’s junior goalkeeper Fabian Otte with no chance and he could only watch as the Blue Devils took a 1-0 lead.

State almost responded immediately to Duke’s score with a goal of its own.

Sophomore wing defender Matt Ingram got free down the right side and placed a perfect cross right to the feet of sophomore forward Monbo Bokar, but Bokar could only fire his shot wide on the cage.

This marked State’s best chance of the first half and the Pack entered halftime down 1-0.

In the 54th minute State won a free kick on the top left edge of Duke’s 18-yard box.

Martinez took the kick for the Wolfpack, but his curling shot was left of the goal.

Five minutes later, Bokar got the chance of the match.

Bokar squeezed between Duke’s center backs and received a through ball played from midfield which sent him clean in on goal. However,

“All together it’s frustrating, it hurts a lot. I guess at times we got unlucky, but we dig these holes ourselves that we’ve got to get out of somehow,” Martinez said. “I know

we’re better than that. Obviously we haven’t proven it yet in the ACC so we just have to keep working hard and stay [together] as a team.”

After compiling a successful season debut on Friday, the NC State swimming & diving team followed up that performance with a stellar showing on day two of the All-NC Invitational. The Wolfpack men’s and women’s teams finished in first place in the total points for the team standings.

The women’s 200-yard medley relay team started the day off for State, and did so by finishing first, earning 64 points for the team. Juniors Zina Grogg and Kaitlin Mills, along with freshman Riki Bonnema and Payton Schrum completed the event in 1:45.20, just seconds shy of the all-time mark.

The Pack men’s team dominated the 200-yard freestyle as all four of the top spots were occupied by State swimmers.

Today USTA NATIONAL TENNIS CENTER INVITATIONAL All day, New York, N.Y.

The past transcended the present in Reynolds Coliseum Friday night when N.C. State Athletics inducted its first Hall of Fame class. WRAL sports anchor and former Wolfpack baseball player Jeff Gravley hosted the event.

The class included women’s basketball player Dr. Geina Beasley, football running back Ted Brown, men’s basketball coach and administrator Everett Case, football quarterback Roman Gabriel, men’s soccer’s Tab Ramos, football center Jim Ritcher, track and cross country runner Julie Shea-Sutton, men’s basketball forward David Thompson and basketball coaches Jim Valvano and Kay Yow. “Indeed, even in the memories of their success, these ten individuals continue to unite us in the pride we share as members of the Wolfpack family,” N.C. State Chancellor Randy Woodson said.

Prior to the presentation of the inductees, Woodson introduced a 3-D video rendering of future renovations to the historic Reynolds Coliseum. The upgrades include a new walkway surrounded by glass windows, upgraded seating and a new N.C. State Walk of Fame inside the coliseum. It will serve as a museum of the Wolfpack’s athletic achievements.

“I can’t think of no better example of living history today than where we are today in Reynolds Coliseum,” Woodson said. “This building has hosted, and continues to host, many of

the most important moments in Wolfpack history.”

“And while we will always honor and respect our past, we will not allow our history decay to limit our growth in the future. And our growth requires state of the art facilities.”

A video of each inductee featuring their accomplishments and interviews from teammates, players and colleagues played prior to their arriving on stage to receive their commemorative medals. Two of the most notable arrivals on stage came from Beasley and Shea-Sutton.

Beasley, the first inductee to receive her honor, was moved to tears, and Shea-Sutton kicked off her shoes to

run to her medal.

The three inductees who received their honors posthumously—Case, Valvano and Yow—were represented on stage by relatives and former players. While the other seven took their seats in front of the stage, their seats were filled with relics of their tenure with the Pack, including trophies, nets, magazines and sneakers.

Kay Yow, the final inductee of the evening, was represented on stage by her sister, Susan Yow. Susan Yow arrived on stage in tears to embrace their sister, N.C. State director of athletics Debbie Yow. After each of the inductees had their moment on stage, Ritcher was chosen to present the class with a

speech. Ritcher highlighted the inductees’ achievements in service outside of the playing arena.

“Another inductee has been devoted to working with young basketball players, encouraging them to aspire to his achievements while avoiding the mistakes,” Ritcher said of Thompson. “He shares his honest and inspirational testimony with youth groups like the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.”

During Ritcher’s speech, he invited the entire class to join him on stage to embrace the past one last time. One final confetti-filled embrace and an allusion to next year’s class ended the evening.

“It doesn’t get any better than this, to beat [a] team that good, of that caliber, at our home turf,” Glennon said.

On the twelfth play of the drive, Glennon found Underwood cutting across the end zone, from two yards out, for the score. Sade’s extra point gave the Wolfpack its first lead of the night.

Underwood set a new school record with the score, recording a touchdown in six consecutive games.

Florida State was given 16 seconds to drive down the field for the winning score but the Wolfpack defense held its ground one last time and defeated their ACC rivals, 17-16.
