Dean, student trade places for day Taylor O’Quinn Staff Writer

The College of Humanities and Social Sciences’ annual Dean for the Day program gave Andriy Shymonyak, a sophomore in history and political science, the opportunity to switch places with Jeffery Braden, dean of CHASS Friday, March 15.

While Shymonyak attended meeting after meeting as the “dean for a day,” Dean Braden was able to experience the life of a student.

“I was really impressed at the level of leadership competence I saw in students,” Braden said.

Dressed in a suit and tie, Shymonyak met with the Executive Director of Development for CHASS, Marcy Engler, and Development Specialist, Ashley Greene, Friday afternoon.

Shymonyak also met with Jonathan Ocko, the head of the Department of History, and Tracie Reid, the head of Department of Political Science, during his day as the dean of CHASS. “I’m very interested in people’s journey’s to where they are now,” Shymonyak said.

In response to Shymonyak’s inquiry about what it takes to become a department head, Ocko said altruism is key in addition to the desire to want to help other people succeed.

Reid, on the other hand, said she never had any aspirations to be an administrator even though she became the head of the political science department in August 2012.

Sophomore in business administration Maya Krishnan partakes in the Hindu festival Holi on Harris Field Saturday.

Celebrating spring colors Tim Gorksi Staff Writer

Several South Asian student organizations, in partnership with the university, worked hard to make this year’s Holi festival of colors N.C. State’s best yet.

Due to their combined efforts, the festival grew to a size unprecedented in the University’s recent history.

More than 450 students crowded Harris Field last Saturday to take part in the paint tossing and water balloon throwing associated with the Indian festival of color and spring.

The event was organized primarily by two student organizations — Maitri, the graduate student organization, and EKTAA,

the undergraduate organization.

Other organizations in charge of planning the event included the NCSU Cricket Club, Delta Sigma Iota, Inc., Kappa Phi Lambda, the Office of International Services and NCSU Staff Senate.

Naveen Bharathi, vice president of Maitri, said this year’s Holi was easily its biggest and most impressive edition yet.

“The event started around 2:30 and by 3:15 we had already sold all of our 650 paint packets,” Bharathi said.

These $2 packets of powdered paint, which can be purchased at many traditional Indian stores, World Market or the event, are thrown and rubbed on participants to celebrate the coming of spring.

Hindus traditionally celebrate

Holi on the full-moon day in the month of Phalgun based on the Hindu lunar calendar. Although this year’s festival technically falls on Wednesday, March 27, organizers felt it best to do hold the celebration this past Saturday for two main reasons.

Prasanna Naik, a graduate student in electrical and computer engineering and the president of Maitri, said hosting the celebration on a Saturday would make it easier for students to participate without interfering with classes.

Also, the Office of International Services will host its ISERVE event on March 27, which organizers suspected would conflict with their event.

A resurgence in the manufacturing sector could be just what North Carolina needs to stimulate the post-recession economy, and young alumni are heeding the call to not just create more high-tech products, but also to create more jobs for the state.

Manufacturing jobs saw a net gain for the first time in in 2011, after a period of workforce transitions had hurt the once powerful sector, according to a report by the North Carolina Rural Economic Center.

The outsourcing of jobs was the main reason for the downturn.

In the past, manufacturing in North Carolina focused on furniture, apparel, textiles and tobacco products, but the emergence of areas like alternative energy, biomanufacturing, and the aerospace industry are changing the industrial landscape because they require more advanced skill sets and innovation.

Currently, manufacturing holds the top spot in contributions to the state’s gross domestic product, and is the state’s largest economic sector.

It also provides higher than average wages to workers, a slew of products for foreign exports and the opportunity for more high-tech industries as the sector evolves.

The N.C. Department of Commerce recently added a new assistant secretary of manufacturing position to promote future “policy development” in the manufacturing arena, according to the state’s chamber of commerce.

N.C. State alumni will share their thoughts on manufacturing and its relation to the state’s economy on March 25 from 1-5 p.m in the Hunt Library. The discussion is a part of ManufacturingWorks @NCState, a forum for students sponsored by the Institute for Emerging Issues and Technician. The forum seeks to create a dialogue between students,

academics and industry leaders to learn about the rapidly growing and changing field.

Speakers will include Chris Clearman of GoPro, Rashida Hodge of IBM and Meghan McCann of Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies.

Chris Clearman Clearman graduated from the University with a bachelor’s degree in industrial design in 2010.

During Clearman’s undergraduate career, he worked for Hard Parts Design first as a fabricator and then as a designer, where he dealt with tractor attachments and accessories. Afterward, he interned at Techtonic Industries, which rehired him full-time after his graduation.

His education at N.C. State taught him about concept development, which he said involved “taking an idea and bringing it to life.”

His current job at GoPro, requires him to come up with ideas and figure out how to implement them. GoPro produces camcorders that can be mounted on users, allowing for more flexibility when taking photos or shooting video.

The cameras were originally designed for sports enthusiasts, but now the company is trying to make them more mainstream, Clearman said.

Clearman researches how camera placement can create better shots for scuba divers underwater. He uses computer-aided design to simulate the design of metal parts, and

then uses 3D printers to have a tangible copy of the parts.

After he tests the concept, he redesigns it for manufacturing and later reassesses it for quality control.

Clearman only designs the mount and housing of GoPro cameras, while electrical engineers work on the camera itself.

As for the future of manufacturing, Clearman said he does not foresee a return to assembly lines and factories in the United States due to the outsourcing of cheap labor.

Instead, Clearman said he thinks the country will take a new approach to manufacturing with advanced engineering and design, but the nation will have to create more high-tech jobs accomplish this goal.

“It’s hard to outsource design and creative thinking,” Clearman said. “We can push the envelope in ways other countries can’t, because America embraces creativity.”

Rashida Hodge Hodge graduated from the NCSU with a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering in 2002 and a master’s degree in industrial engineering in 2003.

She said the master’s program fit her very well, and her professors were very supportive of her academic and career pursuits. She was the recipient of many scholarships while attending N.C. vState, including a scholarship from the College of Engineering Endowment from Joseph Colson.

Quickly after her graduation, Hodge and a classmate started their own endowment fund, and later Hodge opened another fund called Real Hope for Next Gen. “I wanted to do it when it was a sacrifice because that means I am giving up something for them,” Hodge said.

“The important thing is to plant the seed and then continue to nurture it.”

At her current job at IBM, Hodge said she leads the strategic development and management of IBM’s supply chain strategy.

Hodge has worked at IBM for about 10 years and said she became a manager after two years, through which she said she developed “T-shaped skills — a breadth and depth of skills.”

“My career at IBM has been nothing short of fantastic,”

Hodge said. “I am a fanatic about being an IBMer.” Hodge worked in several global opportunities with IBM, leading teams in Europe and Asia. Most recently, she said she had the opportunity to spend three and a half years in Slovakia leading one of IMB’s supply chain teams.

I’m proud of the leader I have become,” Hodge said.

“I’ve made decisions that ultimately made me the most competitive person that I could be and I have learned from each experience — good, hard, easy, successful and failures. “ Hodge said manufacturing is “continuously evolving,” and university curricula need to adapt to these changes.

“We need to build curriculums that teach students more than how to address a problem in a manufacturing plant,” Hodge said. “Industrial engineers need to be able to make a difference across the extended value chain.

The world is changing, data is changing, and our skills need to evolve with it.”

McCann said her education at the University prepared her to see problems that she might not be able to solve alone, and learned a great deal about biomanufacturing through N.C. State’s Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center.

“You actually had labs where you were working with bioreactors,” McCann said. “You got to touch it, see it and feel it before you actually got to do it.”

McCann also learned about the delicate ethics in her biomanufacturing education.

“When you are making things that go through the bloodstream you can’t afford to do it wrong and not admit it and fix it,” McCann said.

McCann said her GPA, internships, co-op and working 20 hours a week throughout school were major factors in allowing her to work at a place like Fujifilm, though she said she also had more opportunities than other recent grads because of her networking skills.

“I still have those mentors and still hang out with them when I get the chance,” McCann said.

Before working at Fujifilm, McCann did a co-op at Biogen-Idec, and interned at Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, and Baxter Healthcare.

Election Commission overturns SBP violations Staff Report

The Election Commission cleared student body president candidates Dwayne O’Rear and Matthew Williams of all appealed campaign violations in a hearing Thursday evening.

At the hearing O’Rear and Williams appealed allegations that they were campaigning too close to University Dining locations.

The commission was unable to determine whether the candidates were actually campaigning too close to the Atrium, as accused, according to Kyle Tervo, a member of the Public Relations Committee of the Board of Elections. The commission issued both candidates warnings.

a complaint that he used source code from SBP Andy Walsh’s campaign without its consent, according to the commission, which was determined not to be “a blatant copy,” Tervo said.

“If you change the colors on the website, they look almost identical, but we never found anything that showed Dwayne purposefully copied the source code,” Tervo said.

The commission issued O’Rear a warning and requested that he change his website within 48 hours of the hearing.

According to O’Rear, the website was changed “almost immediately after the hearing.”

Although the festival has religious origins, its meaning today has more to do with universal ideals, according to many South Asian students. Nithy Poosamni, a doctoral student in computer science and native of India, said the two main reasons for Holi are to welcome the transition from winter to spring and to bring people together to celebrate.

Unity was universally expressed as an important theme among the participants and organizers of the event. Sid Jandhyala, social chair of Delta Sigma Iota, Inc., the University’s South Asian multicultural fraternity, sees Holi as an opportunity for students of all nationalities to come together and have a good time.

Last year’s event attracted approximately 200 people whereas this year drew in more than 450, according to organizers. Much of this year’s success is attributed to the involvement of the Office of International Services and the use of social media.

Lauren Ball, programs coordinator for the Office of International Services, said more than 500 people said they were planning to attend the festival on the events Facebook page. The OIS also sent out an email to all of the international students informing them of the event.

“You can’t help but notice all of these people covered in paint,” Ball said.

Free water balloons, loud South Asian music, traditional Indian food and dancing accompanied the paint throwing. the NCSU Cricket Club served authentic In-

dian snacks at a closeby booth, and the players promoted their team, which won a national championship, and is currently ranked 6th in the nation. The food included traditional Indian dishes such as mango lassi, a mango yogurt drink, and samosas, a baked or fried vegetable dumplings.

According to Poosamni, Holi is a holiday like no other.

“What other day can you come up to a complete stranger and throw paint at them and it be OK?” Poosamni said.

A week full of religion starts now

T

echnician, being the student newspaper of N.C. State University, speaks for the diversity present in the student body. A diverse range of religious beliefs, for example, is found in our Viewpoint section. This week, to showcase this variety of views and draw attention to the diversity at N.C. State, we will feature columns in which our writers will talk about their religious beliefs and how religion has affected their lives.

Religion is a controversial matter — after all, fundamentally, it’s about how people understand the reality in which we live. Religion can be a core part of people’s worldviews, hence affecting the way they act in and perceive their surroundings. However, while religions are differentiated by some basic features — features that are responsible for much of the conflict between different religions — all religions also share some basic common ground. Furthermore, religion is at least slightly different for all people, even those identifying with the same religious tradition. This leads to a great deal of diversity even within, say, Christianity — a fact which will be highlighted on this page this week. Religion

And of course, it’s not necessary that all people be religious — a trait displayed more than ever among our generation.

Considering all of this, it remains a fact of our society that religion remains a significant shade of our social fabric — one that can either be seen as jutting out and causing unnecessary friction between other elements, or as unifying different elements and bringing value to all the different threads of our lives.

Drawing a line at Keystone

T

oday, more than a million barrels of crude oil will be transported by rail to the United States from Canada. This is business as usual, as the U.S. relies on Canada for 15 percent of its oil supply. But amid the Erik heated deVosburgh Staff Columnist bate surrounding the proposed 1,700-mile Keystone pipeline, this may come as a surprise.

Despite our current supply relationship with Canada, many environmental advocates have picked this project as their line in the sand (tar-sand, really), and their stance has received mixed reactions from the sidelines. A recent report published by the State Department on Mar. 8 has polarized the issue further, suggesting that the project itself will have minimal environmental impacts and should move forward.

All eyes are on President Barack Obama now, as the stroke of his pen will settle this issue. Despite the State Department’s advice, the environmental community has picked the right battle.

The Canadian corporation TransCanada first submitted its application for a Presidential permit, the authorization needed to approve the Keystone pipeline, back in 2008. As envisioned, the pipeline’s sections would travel from Alberta, Canada, to the heart of the Midwest and eventually make its way to refineries in Texas. In total, we could count an additional 830,000 barrels of oil per day from this new artery. But there is one thing to keep in mind: Canada isn’t exactly gushing with oil.

Unlike most oil producing countries, Canada’s supplies are tied up in tar sands: a viscous sludge that has no business being anywhere near your gas

this significance. Our writers will deal with Christianity, Hinduism, irreligion, Islam and Judaism, for whom their respective religions (or lack thereof) matter to them in varying degrees. While some of us are highly religious, others, while believing in some higher power, may not be particularly allied to the label of one religion. Then there are those of us who identify with some religion, but only in a cultural measure. And of course, there are those among us who reject religion, which is possible in various fashions.

Such a mélange of lenses through which to understand the world is fascinating. It should also be recognized, appreciated and talked about. Dialog about religion has the effect of

preventing misunderstandings and conflicts, as well as that of normalizing a view of the world which is diverse and colorful — and hence beautiful. It is with such an intention that Technician is shining light on some of the religious views held in our office.

Our viewpoint — and a viewpoint we shall not compromise — is that there is no single viewpoint for most things. We believe that multiple perspectives about how to view the world make for an interesting world, and we should all acknowledge and talk about them fairly. We hope you enjoy our religion-themed columns this week, and that if you don’t agree with our viewpoint right now, you at least have your perspective challenged by the end of the week. And if you feel strongly enough, please write back with a letter to the editor (sent to viewpoint@technicianonline.com), or consider writing with us. We’re a diverse bunch.

tank. The preferred method for recovering these tar sands from deep underground is known as Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage: Two wells are dug, one to pump steam underground (heating the tar, making it more fluid) and another to pump the sands to the surface. This process — as well as the refining and transportation of such an uncooperative substance over a great distance — is energy and resource-intensive. According to a report released by the Congressional Research Service, by the time a drop of tar sand oil is ready for your gas tank, it will have been responsible for the release of almost twice the greenhouse gas emissions of normal processed crude oil, and up to twenty percent more when it is finally burned.

This is not to say that supporters of the Keystone project have just been blowing smoke. It is very possible that the pipeline can deliver crude oil with minimal on-site environmental impacts. And even if the U.S. pulls out of the deal, Canada’s tar sands will be bought up one way or another. But while supply always meets demand, the U.S. consumes 20 million barrels of oil a day, a fifth of the global thirst. That kind of buying power is enough to set an example for the world. If we tap further into Canada’s tar sands, it is a sign that we are willing to scrape the bottom of the barrel, spending even more energy to get it.

The environmental movement is justified in its efforts to pressure the government, even though the U.S. may just end up shopping elsewhere if Obama moves to block the project. At the end of the day, it is in the hands of Americans to justify a rejection of the Keystone pipeline by reducing their demand by just as much.

Job-search anxiety overloads the soul

I

t’s that lovely time of year again. The sun is shining, the rain is sporadic and the fish-trees are beginning to stink up west campus.

However, spring patterns are not the only seasonal event I’m referencing — instead I a m thinking of the neverLauren ending Noriega internStaff Columnist ship and job interviews plaguing our calendars.

As a senior, I’m incredibly aware of the time bomb ticking down on my final days in the safe haven of our university.

Once that clock runs out, I’ll be let loose to the real world and cut loose of the financial stability so generously provided by my parents.

I have spent the past few months agonizing over finding a job by applying and interviewing ad nauseam. Whether students are seniors searching for full-time careers or underclassmen seeking internships, this process is unavoidable.

However, unless you’re a child prodigy, you’re prone to encounter a few rejections along the way.

You can sit around and

blame it on the economy and the job market that we are unfortunately susceptible to or you can create new tactics to deal with these lovely denials.

Like with most types of rejection we face, whether in the form of test grades, jobs or relationships, it’s important to know that you have a support system around to cheer you up when receiving the disappointing news.

Along with a s up p or t system, you need to seek t he comfort foods you tend to turn to when you’re feeling blue.

Whether that means clearing out Harris Teeter’s entire ice cream collection or consuming your weight in Bojangles, eating your feelings away is almost inevitable.

But while you’re stressed over whether or not you’re going to find a job, try not to add onto your issues by solely eating away your anxiety. Take advantage of the nice weather and get a little exercise. Fresh air could be the secret to happiness and we wouldn’t even know it because we spend so much time cooped up inside. Head over to the Rose Garden or the Arboretum with a good book and catchy tunes to enjoy the good old outdoors.

Try to take advantage of each and every opportunity that comes your way. Even if an interview did not go the way that you would have wanted it to go, you can still benefit from the experience.

You can use it as a practice round for interviews you might be more interested in by remembering the types of questions that you’ve been asked, because in my experience, t hey w il l never disappear. You can also use these times a s opportunities to meet with professors for counsel and advice about how to better prepare and position yourself competitively in future interviews.

Therefore, there is no need to get too discouraged. After all, everyone is in the same shoes you’re in. Almost everyone is trying to find a productive and lucrative way to spend his or her summer or time post-grad. Just try not to let the stress and negativity of it get the better of you.

transplanted into patients.

By using 3-D printing, the process could become quicker and more efficient — allowing more patients to be treated with regenerated organs.

According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, there are now more than 105,000 people on the waiting list for solid organ transplants. The Department also has reported that 18 people die every day waiting for a transplant because of the critical shortage of donated organs.

In the long-term, 3-D organ printing can save the lives of several thousand patients, getting them off transplant lists by eliminating the need to wait for a donor, especially for the most easily printable organs.

Michelle Borges, a senior in biochemistry, said she is excited about the new advancement in medical technology.

“If this process can get people off of transplant lists then I think it’s a great avenue to explore,” Borges said.

Others, however, see the use of human embryonic stem cells as a moral dilemma and oppose it.

“It’s great that researchers are finding new ways to save lives and I’m all for it, but not at the expense of harming God-given life,” Muneeb Mustafa, a senior in supplychain management, said.

Researchers also hope to use this technology to create organs for the use of animalfree drug testing, which has been a hot topic issue for the past several years.

Senior first baseman Tarran Senay ignited the Wolfpack’s offense. He accumulated seven hits, five runs batted in and four runs scored in 12 at-bats, including solo home runs on Friday and Saturday.

“I saw the ball really well,” Senay said. “Overall, I felt pretty good at the plate this weekend, but I am just glad to get on with this series.”

Sophomore catcher Brett Austin added six hits, three RBIs and two runs in the set against the Deacons. He has gotten at least one hit in the past 10 games, the team’s longest active streak to date.

“I felt pretty good,” Austin said. “I try to stay confident and relax as much as I can and just put a good swing on a good pitch. That is my mentality right now.”

Friday night saw State’s sluggers explode for 12 runs, including four runs in the fifth inning, capitalized by a three-run four-bagger by sophomore right fielder Jake Armstrong, who ended the game with a career-high five runs batted in. Armstrong finished the series with four

hits, two runs and six RBIs. The Deacons retaliated on Saturday by opening the game with a five-run first inning thanks to a grand slam from Wake redshirt junior right fielder Jack Carey and a solo home run from redshirt freshman designated hitter Kevin Conway. The Deacs scored at least one run in every inning they batted except for the third frame when junior pitcher Andrew Woeck shut down the Wake Forest offensive.

Though Sunday afternoon’s game showed fewer results on the scoreboard, the Pack was sure to keep the contest in its favor, jumping ahead 2-0 in the top of the third when senior left fielder Bryan Adametz scored senior third baseman Grant Clyde and sophomore center fielder Jake Fincher on a no-out double to center field. State brought two more to the plate in the fifth inning when Senay drew a bases-loaded walk to bring Clyde home and freshman

designated hitter Will Nance brought Adametz to the plate on a fielder’s choice. An Austin RBI single in the top of the seventh, which scored Fincher, concluded the team’s Sunday scoring.

WOLFPACK AVERAGES IN 2013 ACC TOURNAMENT:

Staff Writer

N.C. State was bounced out of �the ACC tournament in the semifinals for the second straight season and third time in four years as the Miami Hurricanes bested the Wolfpack, 81-71 Saturday afternoon in Greensboro Coliseum. With the loss, State fell to 24-10 and will return to action on Friday in the second round of the NCAA tournament against the Temple Owls in Dayton, Ohio.

The Pack had no answer for Miami senior guard Durand Scott, who burned N.C. State for 32 points on 12-of-18 shooting from the floor and five-for-eight from three-point range. First team All-ACC performer Shane Larkin also put on a stellar performance. The sophomore point guard tallied 23 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three steals for the Hurricanes.

“I thought Miami was terrific,” N.C. State head coach Mark Gottfried said. “Durand Scott was unbelievable. He played well, he and Shane Larkin together.

Congratulations to [Miami].”

Senior forward Scott Wood was one of the few bright spots for State, which trailed throughout the entire contest. Wood buried six-of-10 three-pointers for the game and finished with 21 points along with five rebounds.

“Obviously, we wanted to get the win,” Wood said. “At the same time, [Miami] is the No. 1 seed. They played well all year.” “[Scott and Larkin] are awfully good,” Gottfried added. “[We] didn’t do a good enough job of containing them.”

The Pack knocked off the Wahoos, 75-56, on Friday afternoon in Greensboro to set up a showdown with the ACC regular season champions in the tournament semifinals for a second straight season.

Last season, State also lost the only regular season matchup between the two schools but edged Virginia, 6764, to advance.

Senior forward Scott Wood set the

pace for N.C. State with 23 points on 7-of-12 shooting, with all of his points coming from three-point range.

“When you play our team, one of the first things you do is figure out how you are going to stop Scott Wood,” Gottfried said. “Not only was he working extremely hard defensively, he changed the game; period.”

“Anytime I get the opportunity to get a good look, I am going to take advantage of it,” Wood said. “Once

“...Excited about the opportunity to play in the greatest show on earth.”

“They are very well coached, beating Syracuse and Villanova this year, they play in a tremendous league with Butler, St. Louis and VCU,” Gottfried said. “I think they have an elite player, elite level, high level guy in Khalif Wyatt … a team that is proven and has done well all year long.”

Senior Khalif Wyatt was the Owls’ best weapon this season. He shot 43.1 percent from the field and scored 635 total points for the Owls this season. He also contributed 53 steals and 130 assists. He also averaged 33.1 minutes per game this season.

If you can remember the Herb Sendek era, than you may be able to look back at the 2002-03 season.

This was N.C. State’s last meeting with the Temple Owls, and it resulted in a loss 54-76. N.C. State posted an 18-13 record and made it to the first round in the NCAA tournament that season. All together, N.C. State has met with Temple University a total of seven times and

With the victory, N.C. State has won 48 games in the past two seasons-the most wins the Wolfpack has produced in consecutive years since 1982-83.

N.C. State 80 Virginia Tech 63 In the opening round of the 2013 ACC Tournament, fifth-seeded N.C. State throttled Virginia Tech 80-63 to advance to the quarterfinal stage.

The Pack had a balanced attack Thursday versus the Hokies. State was led by first-team All-ACC forward Richard Howell, who tallied 22 points and 12 rebounds.

Junior guard Lorenzo Brown finished with nine points and 12 assists, while also holding NCAA scoring leader senior guard Erick Green to 15 points on five-for-19 shooting from the floor.

“I basically fed off the energy of my teammates,” Brown said. “They did a good job of helping me on the screen and driving.”

Brown’s assist total set a school record for ACC Tournament play.

“Lorenzo Brown made up his mind he was going to do a good job,” Gottfried added. “And I thought he did.”

This is the second straight year the Pack finished the ACC regular season as a fifth-seed and once again N.C. State was paired with Virginia in the Friday quarterfinal with the winner to face the regular season champion in the semifinal on Saturday.

Senior forward Richard Howell said he is anxious to prepare for the matchup against the Owls.

“We just got to do our homework, watch film,” Howell said. “That’s what I like about the tournament, every team is good and you can’t prepare for every team the same way.”

Gottfried said the team is “excited about the opportunity to play in the greatest show on earth.”

The Wolfpack has five days to prepare for the Owls, which will be played Friday, Mar. 22 in Dayton, Oh. Game time is yet to be determined. A second round birth could mean a meeting with number one seed Indiana.

“We have to win this game to get to them, hopefully we can take care of business so that opportunity will be there,” senior forward Scott Wood said.
