Former UNC System president, Friday, dies at 92 Jessie Halpern & Mark Herring News Editor & Editor-in-Chief

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

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

tem grow from three campuses to 16.

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

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

president and worked as the Sports Editor of Technician.

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

system.

“There’s nobody else who has impacted N.C. State over that period of time,” Stafford said. “In my entire life, I never worked for a better person than Bill Friday.”

Friday governed during the era of civil rights and school desegregation, and according to Stafford, Friday stood by his values on equality.

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

Lacrosse fundraises for cause, HEADstrong Alex Petercuskie Staff Writer

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

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

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

Since its founding, the organization has relied on lacrosse communities throughout the United States to spread the word about those affected with blood cancer and to raise funds for patients and their families to help with various challenges, such as paying for medical expenses, according to HEADstrong.

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

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

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

At the start of the Campout portion, the basketball players served pizza to participants and took pictures with fans.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wolfpack basketball head coach Mark Gottfried descends onto the court from the upper levels of the PNC Arena during Primetime with the Pack Friday night, Oct. 12, 2012. Primetime with the Pack, which replaced the old Red and White game, started with some activities to excite the crowd, followed by a team scrimmage and a campout for loyalty points.

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

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

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

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

ripping his shirt off and waving it around.

More than 10,000 fans watched as the players participated in a threepoint contest followed by a 20-minute scrimmage. With less than four minutes remaining in the game, senior forward Scott Wood’s grandfather collapsed and was taken away on a stretcher. Wood followed his grandfather and later apologized via Twitter for cutting the event short, saying his grandfather will be OK. Kornelius Bascombe, commentator for the night and a 2012 graduate, was very nervous about presenting for Primetime, but said the energy from the fans helped him.

Bascombe also emceed the University birthday celebration April 2 in Reynolds Coliseum.

KEMA partnered with many academic departments to host Professor Steven Kaplan of Cornell University, a self-proclaimed bread critic. Kaplan’s presentation dubbed “Cursed Bread” discussed the tale of an epidemic that swept across mid 20th Century France. He discussed the plague of disease, as it related to bread, the investigation and later cover up in order to protect the government’s legitimacy during the presentation on Wednesday. The story was followed by a how-to in bread tasting. With baguettes, breads and spreads supplied

by La Farm bakery in Cary, the event proved to be one of the tastiest Poe Hall has ever seen.

However, the Open House Committee provided a list of recommended activities to allow students and parents to make the most of their day without getting overwhelmed while visiting.

Fair said she hoped students saw the excitement on campus and took note of many of the newly renovated facilities.

“Outside is the bricks.

When you get inside, you see the state of the art technology,” Fair said.

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

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

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

During the movie Hoosiers, the national anthem played and students concluded it with “and the home of the Wolfpack.” At 4 a.m., students were still shouting the “Wolf … Pack” cheer.

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

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

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

Kang said putting on the event was a fun way for fraternities to interact with one another and to build relationships with more than one fraternity.

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

spectators.

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

Former UNC-System president dies historically black or Native American schools.

Instead of making drastic changes, Friday wanted schools like N.C. Central to increase whites on campus, and schools like N.C. State to increase blacks on campus.”

Stafford said Friday presided over a period of tremendous growth, especially on N.C. State’s campus.

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

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

“He fought for and always stood for low tuition,” Stafford said. “The constitution of the state says tu-

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

Glenn Kleiman, executive director of N.C. State’s Friday Institute for Educational Innovation, worked closely with Friday during the organization’s annual Friday Medal award ceremony, in which someone is honored for innovation in education.

The Friday Institute, located on Centennial Campus, is named for Friday and his wife, Ida, who Kleiman said were both instrumental in its founding.

The institute works with the North Carolina Board of Education to better the K-12 system. Its mission is to advance education through innovative methods of teaching, learning and leadership, according to its website.

Kleiman said the institute embodies Friday’s mission in life in many ways.

“Educ at ion, broad ly speaking, was the core of his life,” Kleiman said.

“He was a political education advisor going back to President Lyndon Johnson.

His heart and soul were an educator and a teacher — and that’s what he was to all of us, a teacher.”

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

“We were looking forward to Mr. Friday joining

us, it’s the first time without him and we will use that occasion to celebrate his life and reflect on his influence and then do what I know he would say, ‘Carry on with the good work to improve the teaching in the state and country,’” Kleiman said. “He wouldn’t ask anything for himself, I can almost of hear him saying that.”

Chancellor Randy Woodson released a statement Friday afternoon, crediting the pioneer in education for laying a foundation of success at N.C. State.

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

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

Our big, fat editorial

T

he North Carolina State Fair has been a beloved tradition for 159 years … well, 151 if you count the years it wasn’t held due to the Civil War. But when the fair began in 1853, its main focus was agriculture — in fact, it was held by the Agricultural Society. The first time food booths made an appearance at the fair was 1900. Until then, the main attraction was the chicken incubators. Over the years, it seems that everything about the fair has increased considerably: the food booths, the attendance and the size of the attendees.

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

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

CAMPUS FORUM

In response to Ross Bradley’s Oct. 11 column on gun control If you think that introducing guns into public schools will make children safer, then you must tell me what hallucinogens you’re taking. Or perhaps you live on “Bulls*** Mountain” with Bill O’Reilly. Anyways, your beliefs can easily be debunked by psychological evidence and cross-cultural analyses.

In psychology, a gun is what is known as an “aggressive stimulus.”

This fancy term means that guns can influence your behavior. Leonard Berkowitz and Anthony Le Page experimented in 1967 with the idea of aggressive stimuli. They greatly angered college students in two different rooms, one with a gun and one with a tennis racquet (a neutral object). These students were then allowed to administer electrical shocks to other college students.

Students in the room with the gun delivered more intense electrical shocks than those in the room with the tennis racquet. Many people since then have retried the experiments and they always have the same results (look up Frodi in 1975 or Turner and Leyens in 1992). Apparently the slogan “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” isn’t entirely true. The trigger can also pull itself, according to psychological experiments (Aronson, Wilson, Akert.

Social Psychology, Seventh Edition). But if guns don’t kill people, our military can save lots of money by sending soldiers into battle without guns. They’re creative enough; they can find ways to kill the enemy with something else.

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

Vancouver has strict

}

gun-owning laws and Seattle doesn’t. Seattle also has twice the murder rate. Coincidence?

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

I’m not advocating that we should take all the guns away, but we don’t need certain kinds of guns. Guns turn violent situations into deadly ones. If everyone in bars had a gun, do you think crime in bars will go down? It’s always a good idea to have loaded guns when you get angry. Perhaps we should give guns to second-graders or people on a plane, so that they can “defend themselves.”

Everyone knows that children are safer if they are around loaded guns. Perhaps, to prevent assassinations, we allow guns in our courthouses. Both the defendant and the plaintiff should be able to protect themselves. Criminals should maybe maintain their right to bear arms too. Since criminals don’t obey laws, why even have laws in the first place?

The Second Amendment was written over 200 years ago.

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

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

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

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

of her many books was Lunch-Box Set, a book aimed at children. The book drew criticism from fellow celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, who said, “You tell kids to have cheesecake for breakfast. You tell them to have chocolate cake and meatloaf for lunch. And French fries.

Doesn’t it bother you that you’re adding to this?”

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

If it gets to that point, we can only hope that down the road, the vendors at the fair find a way to deep-fry insulin and Lipitor.

For my Dar-Dar

T

wo Sundays ago, I attended two events at UNCChapel Hill honoring my late grandmother, Doris Betts. She was a professor at UNC for more than 30 years, served as the head of the creative writing department and was a successful author, Anna Betts among Staff Columnist other things. She was quite an amazing woman. I was nervous in the week leading up to the event. Would I cry? Was I expected to cry?

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

Her death didn’t come as a surprise: She had been sick for some time. Even still, I was unprepared when it actually happened. Once her funeral service was over and I looked behind me at the line of people wanting to give their condolences to the family, I almost lost it.

I was angry, something I didn’t expect to feel. Who were these people trying to tell me how much my

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

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

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

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

This unexpected rush of gratefulness came over me.

I looked out into the crowd and was happy to see them, even though the room was once again filled with people I didn’t know. I cannot express how relieving it was to legitimately be able to enjoy the day. To be able to shake hands with those who love d her and listen to their stories without prejudice.

The cliché is right, and I know how muc h my grandmother avoided clichés, but time does heal all. I have been able to process her death in the months after her funeral, and accept how meaningful she was and is to me. It’s calming. For all those out there who have lost someone — it’s important to grieve, to cling to your emotions surrounding their death. But you have to let go.

You have to accept that while this person may have meant the world to you, you are not the world. The memory of that person becomes all the more beautiful when you see how he or she touched the lives of others. No one will understand my grandmother like I did, and that special relationship is something I treasure, but I will never understand her like they do — and that is something I respect.

“You have to accept that while this person may have meant the world to you, you are not the world.”

Occupiers celebrate a year’s work

Will Brooks Staff Writer

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

Instead of pickets, Occupiers held food from a community potluck, others held guitars, some waved flags but everyone had a smile.

“It’s definitely a celebration more than it is a protest,” Katina Gad, occupier and senior in fashion and textile management, said.

Gad and other Occupiers explained that the event marked a point of celebration and refocus for Occupy Raleigh and Occupy NCSU. “The campaign of Occupy NCSU is still very much alive,” Ryan Thomson, occupier and graduate student in sociology, said.

Thomson, who has often served as an organizer for Occupy NCSU, said the movement exists, but in a different sense than it had previously.

Participating shacks stood strong on the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 28. Shack-a-thon raised $28,310.05 this year, the highest Shack-a-thon total in history.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hatley said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The two freshman phenom guards showed well.

Lewis tallied 6 points and 3 assists. Purvis finished with 7 points and 2 assists.

“Speed and scoring, he’s explosive and we need another guard that can do that,” Brown said, speaking of Purvis.

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

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

Due to a medical emergency involving Wood’s grandfather, the scrimmage was cut short with time still remaining on the clock.

into the game.

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

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

“The game itself was not ideal,” Springthorpe said.

“We let up two goals in the first 10 minutes of the game. The goal by Brittany really got us back into the game.

“The fact that it was the first goal we’d had in a while hyped everyone up, the coaches and the players.

And then we let up a goal 13 seconds later. It was just how the whole game went.”

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

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

The Pack travels to Winston-Salem to face rival Wake Forest Thursday.

Game time is at 7 p.m.

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

Basketball season tips-off in primetime Volleyball sweeps weekend road trip

Jonathan Stout

N.C. State improved its record to 17-3 overall, 7-2 in the ACC, by defeating Virginia Tech and Virginia, 3-1. The win against Virginia Tech gave the Wolfpack its first ACC road win. It also broke the Pack’s 15-match losing streak to Virginia Tech. Sophomore middle blocker Alesha Wilson led the charge against the Hokies with 19 kills and 10 blocks. Sophomore outside hitter Dariyan Hopper posted 14 kills against the ‘Hoos.

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

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

The night had many surprises.

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

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

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

Freshman guard Rodney Purvis dodges senior forward Scott Wood during Primetime with the Pack in the PNC Arena Friday, Oct. 12. Primetime with the Pack, which replaced the old Red and White game, started with some activities to excite the crowd, followed by a team scrimmage and a campout for loyalty points.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lewis finished making 13 of 20.

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

State limps home to finish in Durham

Terrible first half downs the Wolfpack

Sean Fairholm Deputy Sports Editor

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

The good news: “The food [was the best part],” senior Mitch Sutton said. “And it was a fun course to play. We always enjoy coming over here.”

For the former All-American who finished a rough tournament with a final round 82, Sutton’s fun came mostly in edible form instead of good golf form.

After breaking par in 13 of his 26 rounds last spring, Sutton has gone 25-over in six rounds this fall. Far from being the only issue in the lineup, Head Coach Richard Sykes was candid as usual when talking about one of his best players and the current state of his team.

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

At least [back home] we are comfortable with our surroundings.

With the Pack trailing 53 shots behind Duke, State golfers took more enjoyment in their second course meals as opposed to the golf course. State’s star Albin Choi (75-71-73) led the team — in a tie for 20th — and was happy to board

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

The Eagles (9-5-2, 3-4-0) came out hot, quickly attacking the Pack’s back line. By the 20th minute mark, the Eagles had scored 5 goals on 11 shots.

Freshman goalie Madison Shaw was quickly pulled from the game.

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

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