Class of ‘63 sets donation record Josué Molina Staff Writer

Members of the graduating class of 1963 gathered for a banquet in the Dorothy and Roy Park alumni center Saturday for their 50th anniversary reunion.

The reunion was a weekend-long series of events and it featured various activities including tours of the Hunt Library and the Memorial Bell Tower. The reunion served to to help alumni reconnect with past classmates, but most importantly it provided an opportunity for them to see the changes that N.C. State’s campus has undergone.

Alumni are important to the University because they donate money for academic and athletic departments, and the class of ‘63 is no exception. In fact, the members of the class of ’63 have contributed more to the University than any other graduating class.

According to Ethan Dodson, director of Development for Alumni Projects, 122 donors from the class of ‘63 contributed $856,105 to the University, which puts the class “several hundred thousands” above any other class.

Members of the class of 1963 pose for a group photo before a banquet at the Park Alumni Center Friday, April 12 2013. The banquet was part of Reunion Weekend 2013, where the class of 63 celebrated their 50th class reunion and were inducted into the Forever Club.

Despite their contribution to the University, members of the class ’63 still had to pay to enjoy the weekend.

Members paid $75 to enjoy a catered dinner in the Italian-marble-floored grand ballroom of the Park Alumni Center.

However, the money made in tick-

et prices was not considered a part of the class’ donations, as it was used to cover the costs associated with the banquet and the other events that took place during the weekend.

N.C. State head football coach Dave Doeren was the keynote speaker of the banquet, and attempted to

get the alumni excited and on their feet. Several members of the crowd clapped and cheered for what Doeren called a new era for N.C. State football.

“There are many challenges when taking over a program, I didn’t recruit those guys, but I will train

them to become champions,” Doeren said.

Doeren didn’t leave without making the obligatory anti-Carolina comment to fire up the attendees of the reunion.

“At the end of the day I want to represent N.C. State, and I want to be the guy kissing the trophy on the 50-yard line. I also want to beat North Carolina,” Doren said. “I hate the color blue.”

In 1963, a gallon of gasoline cost 30 cents, a house cost about $19,300 and the University’s name was being changed from “N.C. State College” to “N.C. State University at Raleigh,” thus a lot has changed since the members of the class of 1963 attended classes at N.C. State.

The Class of 1963 was also inducted into the Forever Club, which is an organization of alumni that have graduated at least 50 years ago.

The Forever Club helps alumni become more involved with the University and become familiar with the changes that are taking place on campus.

Students gathered on the Greek Village field Friday night to raise money for cancer research as a part of N.C. State’s 11th annual Relay for Life event.

Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society’s largest fundraiser, during which registered teams raise money all year. Though a yearlong effort, the actual relay events take place during the course of one night as teams of people take turns walking around a track or trail to raise money. Approximately 3.5 million people participate nationwide.

Each hour of the event had a themed lap. The theme of the first lap was celebrating cancer survivors.

Survivors circled the track together and helped everyone celebrate the victories they achieved faced with cancer. The survivor’s lap is an emotional example of how Relay fo Life participants are creating a world with more birthdays.

Registered teams circled the field with their stations. Each organization sold some sort of baked goods, birthday cake or offered games to play to raise money for cancer.

Pi Beta Phi had a game of bra Ping-Pong, but Veterans Against Cancer was the winning team and raised the most money with $4,806.

Dance Visions, North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics Unichords, NCSSM’s KWAVE and N.C. State’s Ladies in Red performed at the event. Campus Recreation held a Zumba class.

The event also consisted of a volleyball tournament, Ms. Relay Pageant, Wolf Pack shag dancing, yoga, Sube Ritmo and ultimate Frisbee.

“Getting involved and coming together is powerful,” said Alexa Passarotti, a senior in psychology and the co-chair of NCSU Relay for Life.

Michael Brooks, a sophomore in mechanical engineering, walks his dog during the Relay for Life on March 13. Hundreds of students went to the Greek Village field to help raise money for cancer research.

Field shut off the lights and prepared for the luminary ceremony, a time to remain silent, to grieve for those who were lost to cancer and for each person to reflect on the effects of cancer.

Jennifer Gilmore, director of marketing and communications for Campus Enterprises, and Cindy Peterson spoke during the ceremony. Both women spoke in regards to their memories of Ian Peterson, a senior who lost his battle with advanced Burkitt’s lymphoma, a cancer of B-lymphocyte whiteblood cells of the immune system, in February.

Brennan Clark, a sophomore in mathematics education and a member of the a cappella group, the Grains of Time, also expressed his memories of Ian, a former member.

When Ian was diagnosed with cancer on Oct. 3, 2012, his mother, Cindy, said that Ian wanted to name his cancer so he could hate it and beat it. He decided to name his cancer Bessie. As a family, the Petersons entered into a battle to defeat Bessie.

“Ian had a work ethic unmatched,” Gilmore said. “I was lucky to have been Ian’s professional mentor.”

In her speech, Peterson thanked everyone for raising funds for cancer research and treatment.

“You’re saving someone’s life,” Peterson said.

About 100 shovels hit the ground at N.C. State’s Agroecology Education Farm Saturday, marking the beginning of N.C. State’s annual week-long Earth Day celebration.

Students, staff and faculty members joined together to plant seedlings that will later be harvested and served in dining halls on campus, according to Carla Davis, communications coordinator for the University’s Sustainability Office.

Will Hildreth, vice president of WESA and senior in plant and soil science, attended the event and praised those who participated.

“It was good to see so many people out there willing to contribute to a new project. There was a lot of enthusiasm and an emphasis on community.”

Davis said that the event was important because the University has never before had food grown on its campus served in dining halls.

“It’s a great first step to incorporating more local, sustainable food on campus,” Davis said.

Students who want to make having local food in dining halls an everyday reality can sign the “For the Farm Pledge,” which documents their support for a campus farm.

The pledge can be given in person at any of the Earth Day events or online at http://go.ncsu.edu/forthefarm.

FROM BARN TO BRICK This year’s Earth Week theme is “From Barn to Brick: Sustainable Food and Agriculture at N.C. State.” As the name suggests, campus events will focus on educating students about the importance of local, sustainable food, Davis said.

“The reason we want to select this local food topic is because

Pack takes down Tar Heels See page 8.

N.C. State’s roots are in agriculture, and one of N.C.’s biggest economic contributions is agriculture,” Davis said. “We also want people to learn that local and sustainable food is better for us, the environment and the economy.”

On Tuesday there will be “Grow Your Wellness” on the Brickyard from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. At the event, students will be able to explore the “seven dimensions of wellness.” There will also be a “Reduce Your Waste Challenge” in which students will learn how to diminish both their waste and their waistline.

Later that day, students will also have the opportunity to attend a Norman Borlaug lecture on food security and climate change. Frances Seymour, the former director of the General Center for International Forestry Research, will be the speaking at 3:00 p.m. in the Hunt Library Auditorium.

The Earth Day celebration, the largest event, will be held Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Brickyard. More than 75 vendors and student organizations are expected to be at the festival.

“Students will have opportunities to try local foods, buy fair-trade items and learn how to live more sustainable lifestyles,” Davis said.

One of the student organizations attending is Students for Organic Urban Living (SOUL). SOUL maintains an organic garden on centennial campus. The group was started after receiving a Green Brick award a few years ago, said Ezekial Overbaugh, co-manager of the SOUL Garden and senior in plant biology.

After distributing food to volunteers as compensation for their work, SOUL donates the remainder of their food products to the Interfaith Food Shuttle.

Several students learned faith’s role in food production at InterVarsity Christian Fellowship’s “Faith, Food, and Farmi ng” event Sat u rd ay morning.

InterVarsity chose the seminar to show how students can relate their Christian faith to areas of work in agriculture and horticulture. It also prompted students to take a deeper look at environmental topics that usually go unnoticed.

Dr. Norman Wirzba, a research professor of theology, ecology and rural life at Duke Divinity School, spoke to students and faculty about the relevance of these subjects in everyday life.

“People generally don’t think about the implications of Christianity in terms of farming and food,” Wirzba said.

“When you look at the Bible, you’ll see that food and land are subjects found ever y where in scripture.”

After being introduced by a member of Veritas Forum, the non-profit ministry that joined InterVarsity to put on the event, Wirzba began to

address the issues he touched on early in his speech. Speaking softly and enthusiastically, Wirzba engaged students by helping them understand what he deemed to be the importance of environmental respect and treating the world with Christian principles.

“The definition of food as found in scripture is God’s love made delectable,” Wirzba said. “How we name and narrate food is very important.”

Wirzba spent a good portion of his lecture discussing his concerns about the implications of adopting a consumer-based society. At one point, he compared our world today to a store where people take what they want whenever they please.

“We’re living in an unprecedented time in human history,” Wirzba said. “The language of natural resources never shows up in the Bible.

Naming the world as creation is fundamentally different from referring to it as nature.”

Wirzba stressed the importance of developing a genuine respect for the world around us, ensuring that what we eat has been treated with respect.

According to Wirzba, human nature causes us to act violently when things don’t go our way. Wirzba also criticized major corporations for obtaining natural resources

using methods that are potentially harmful to our environment.

Referencing passages of scripture from Genesis to Psa lms and Revelation, Wirzba provided an in-depth analysis of the Biblical foundations of these topics.

“We need to evaluate if the way we eat and acquire food is benefitting the world around us, rather than just ourselves,” Wirzba said. “Injustice does not cohere with self-offering.”

Wirzba talked about how animals and other natural products we eat have become commodities in our consumer-based society, undermining the value and significance of creation.

After concluding his lecture, Wirzba opened the floor for a Q&A session. Several graduate students studying agriculture asked questions, ranging from elitism and the development of agricultural maintenance to poultry issues.

“We’re hoping this event will help students connect their faith with their work, particularly in fields of agriculture and horticultural, which are major areas of study at N.C. State,” said David Williams, a staff member of InterVarsity.

Amy Phillips, InterVarsity chapter director for N.C. State and Meredith College, said she felt this event provided students with an important prospective.

“We believe that N.C. State, as a major land-grant university and a leading agricultural institution, is a community that is obliged to wrestle with these questions, drawing upon all of the moral and intellectual resources available to us, whether from modern science or from ancient wisdom.”

According to Phillips, people’s approach to food and agriculture not only shapes its domestic and communal life around the dinner table but also has the profound-

The second Zumbathon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society event took place Sunday at the Longbranch Saloon in Raleigh from 2:30 to 7 p.m.

“The event will allow participants to help themselves by exercising and celebrating their own health while supporting a great cause,” said Alicia Betancourt, one of the event organizers and a Zumba instructor.

Betancourt completed her Master’s in textile apparel technolog y management from N.C. State in 2008.

According to Betancourt, the cause has raised more than $1,200 in donations and 130 participants attended the event Sunday.

“Zumba is a Latin-inspired, high-energy fitness

workout,” Betancourt said.

Participants completed two, one-hour sessions of Zumba during the fundraiser event.

Betancourt had nine additional instructors join her on stage throughout the course of the event.

Seven instructors performed their own selected songs and choreography in 15-minute rotations.

B e t a nc ou r t s a id s he thought hosting the event would help spread awareness of the fight against blood-cell cancer to a greater number of people.

“My goal was to get the community involved as much as possible,” Betancourt said.

Betancourt said 12 entrepreneurs and businesses were represented as vendors at this year’s event.

The Longbranch Saloon also offered its main dance

floor at no cost.

Players and cheerleaders from the Triangle Nighthawks, a semi-pro football team, helped with welcoming the participants, ticket sales and setting up decorations for the event.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to curing leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma.

The group also strives to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

To help with community fundraising efforts, the society created a campaign in the United States called the Man or Woman of the Year.

According to Betancourt, there are currently 19 candidates in the Triangle area of North Carolina.

Each candidate receives a 10-week period of time to raise as much money as possible to win the title.

Betancourt said she was disappointed when she could not attend a friend’s fundraiser that benefited the Man or Woman of the Year campaign in 2012.

“I asked her if I could do anything. Most people would have just made the financial donation and be done with it, but something resonated in my spirit about the cause,” Betancourt said.

She said “I couldn’t really tell you why it was so important for me to help, but I ended up deciding to plan a Zumbathon party with 6 weeks left before the end of

The (Keynesian) gift that keeps on giving

N

.C. State University’s class of 1963 celebrated its Golden Anniversary at the University’s Reunion Weekend from Thursday to Saturday. It was inducted into the Forever Club, which consists of alumni who have celebrated their 50th class reunions.

But, besides reaching this number, the class of 1963 is special for another reason: It has donated more to N.C. State than any other class — $856,105.

It is commendable that the members of the class of 1963 have given back to their alma mater in such a measure. We encourage current students to retain ties — financially or otherwise — to the University after graduation in the same way this class has. Alumni giving has always been an important part of the university’s funding and is a core part of what it means to be a proud, successful alumnus. Some gifts from alumni even fund proj-

ects that normal means of University revenue cannot provide for, such as the Hunt Library.

However, although we acknowledge that the donations are extremely important and appreciate all alumni donors, we would like to point out that in the greater scheme of things, alumni giving is not the most consequential part of a land-grant university’s revenue. Our University’s functioning should not and cannot depend on alumni giving (and tuition).

The amount of money this class has given is in a way even more valuable considering the dire financial situation universities are in, including N.C. State. However, alumni donations would not be even this crucial if

IN YOUR WORDS

universities were funded better. But they aren’t — instead, budget cuts, whether under Gov. Bev Perdue or Gov. Pat McCrory, are slashing funding to public services such as education. To make up for the $138.5 million cut to education in McCrory’s first proposed annual budget to the UNC-System, we would need 162 times half a century’s worth of 1963-classesque donations. In this situation, each penny an alum donates becomes all the more important — but this shouldn’t be so.

A well-funded university is in fact necessary for securing more donations from alumni. After all, if a university is well-funded, its students will receive a good education, will be

more likely to prosper economically and will thus be better able to give back to the university. However, if a university doesn’t get the funding it needs, soon there will be reduced alumni donations as well, so the university will also lose that source of funding.

We aren’t against donations. We are against budget cuts. In our ideal world, alumni will give back money to their alma maters, but this money will be a bonus to graciously-funded universities. While economic circumstances — and legislators — may not allow the ideal right now, we would only like to point out that we can have funding for education without alumni donations, but not the other way around. The Class of 1963 may be a role model for other classes, including current ones, but more than us, it’s the state government that needs to learn a lesson about how to give to the University.

Consumer choice affects production

Animal preserve article factually incorrect

I was shocked to see the recent article entitled “Room to run” in the News section of this paper.

Its one-sided approach to the debate on “factory farming” — with no evidence of effort to substantiate the claims made — belongs in the Viewpoint section.

To whom it may concern, I am writing to express my concern with the article in Technician today about the animal preserve in Pittsboro. Let me first say that I fully support organizations that are genuinely trying to improve the welfare of animals, just as the food animal industry is. With that being said, the article printed in Technician today was absolutely riddled with misrepresentations and downright wrongful “facts”. I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I have no problem with papers presenting those “opinions.” However, from what I can tell the piece you all printed today was not presented as an opinion, and that I think is a serious problem. If I had time to go through and point out all of the factual errors in this piece I would, but with finals coming up for me that is not an option. I am an animal science graduate and current veterinary student, so I am certainly not implying that I know anything about how a newspaper operates, but I would be willing to bet that somewhere in the course of your education you were taught about using the platform you have ethically. Printing an anti-agriculture article in an agriculture school’s newspaper as an opinion piece would be one thing — like I said, I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But presenting what amounts to lies and myths as if they are facts is nothing short of irresponsible.

I believe this article is a disgrace to this University, your organization, and all of the people that read Technician.

I simply don’t understand how your organization could possibly think it is OK to quote someone on animal health who is (from what I can tell by her comments) not even remotely qualified to be speaking on the subject. In my business, doing

I am a graduate student in the animal science department at NCSU. I research herbal alternatives to antibiotics for treating infections in dairy cows.

I was motivated to respond by some of the blatantly incorrect statements made in the article. For example, bacteria, not milking machines, cause infections. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not allow altered milk (milk containing pus, blood or antibiotics) in the food supply.

One of the major challenges that animal science faces is how to produce animals more efficiently and more humanely so that we can feed the evergrowing population with less land and resources. To do this, we are constantly researching management strategies to increase production of food from animals, including beak trimming, gestation crates, and milking machines. Around the country — and even right here on this campus — we’re making great strides through ongoing research focused on animal welfare, so that we can improve animal well-being while feeding the world.

Consumer choice has a major effect on how food animals are produced, and it is important that consumers base decisions on facts and consider all sides of the argument for or against animal agriculture when doing so. I’d hope that this newspaper would help in that regard.

My love letter to Pat McCrory

A something that erroneous is called incompetence. Next time you choose to run an article pertaining to animal health and welfare I think you should include some of the numerous people at this very campus who are experts in the field. If you don’t know who those people are or perhaps didn’t know they were here please let me know and I will certainly get you in contact with them.

The article is basically fictional, but the real problem here is that your organization saw fit to print it, and in doing so promoting ignorance to the majority of the student body who will not know what they are reading simply isn’t true. It is disgraceful, and I hope that Technician ceases to promote ignorance immediately.

fter two decades of North Carolina not having a Republican governor, Gov. Pat McCrory was sworn into office Jan. 5 amid a great deal of opposition and disappointment. It doesn’t seem possible that today marks Trey Ferguson McManaging Editor Crory’s 100th day in office, and critics ask “What does he have to show for it?”

On Feb. 18, McCrory’s first bill signed into law established two educational pathways allowing for North Carolina students to obtain a vocational and/or higher education endorsement on their diplomas, a campaign promise he fulfilled.

Critics jumped at the opportunity to point out McCrory’s f lawed views on education and his lack of support for a college career. Being on staff at a college newspaper, I can attest to the political fodder that gave our editorial board. However, I have yet to see how this law could hurt North Carolina’s educational system.

If anything it makes the lessons learned in school more applicable to one’s future goals.

For those who still believe the governor is against education, two bills signed March 15 enhance education: One shifts funding to digital textbooks and other educational resources for the

state’s schools and the other incorporates digital training into teacher and school administrator requirements.

As a future educator and graduate of a high school with a career and technical focus, I understand the importance of ensuring our students are career-ready, college-ready, or both. And, as an N.C. State education major, I definitely appreciate the emphasis on technology in the classroom.

McCror y’s second bill signed into law Feb. 19 aimed to “cut benefits for jobless workers by about one-third and reduce how long they can collect any aid.” It is easy for critics to use this piece of legislation to point out McCrory’s lack of support for the unemployed. What is not so easy to explain is that this is a necessary step to repay the $2.5 billion borrowed from the federal government, rather than accept an additional $700 million to extend the benefits. Another campaign promise met.

Another law signed by McCrory April 9 is the Good Samaritan Law, which provides “limited immunity from prosecution” for individuals who call 911 to report an overdose. The law also applies to “underage drinkers who seek help for alcohol poisoning.” Many may say this is encouraging reckless, illegal behavior, when in reality it is placing a greater emphasis on human life than on a number of arrests.

In Sunday’s News & Observer piece on “McCrory’s first 100 days” Jim Morrill explains the governor’s attempts to “fix what he calls cracks in the state’s foundation.” And this could not be more accurate.

With the vast changes our federal government is undergoing, as well as the various systems within our state that have been under scrutiny and developing changes, McCrory came in at a tough time for our state. Not having ever served in state government — which might actually be a plus — “he’s basically been getting his sea legs,” Michael Bitzer, political scientist at Catawba College, said in Morrill’s article.

McCrory is far from a “donothing Governor” — having only been in office 100 days he has achieved and upheld ten of his campaign promises and still working on 22 others, according to WRAL’s Pat McCrory Promise Tracker.

With twice as many people approving of him than disapproving, his approval rating is greater than that of President Barack Obama’s, North Carolina’s two U.S. senators, Congress and the state legislature, according to a recent Elon University poll.

While writing this, one of my co-workers came up and asked how my love letter to McCrory was going. And I guess you could say that is exactly what this column is, because with all the negativity surrounding McCrory’s actions it is important for readers to be aware of the good he is doing for North Carolina.

McCrory explained in Morrill’s article that “We didn’t realize how things were when we first arrived … I’m finally getting to the things I enjoy working on.” With this attitude, our new governor will undoubtedly move North Carolina forward.

Tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes can leave large numbers of people lacking the most basic necessities, but it’s not just people who suffer. Pets and animals of all sizes and kinds often get lost in the shuffle of community struggles as their owners seek aid.

The Department of Social Work and College of Veterinary Medicine hosted a collaborative symposium in March about the relationship between humans and animals.

“This was the beginning of a partnership that we plan to continue developing and expanding to enhance student success,” said Karen Bullock, associate department head of the Department of Social Work.

“The symposium is the first of what we hope to be a series of workshops and trainings to bring students, educators, practitioners and researchers together to lean an innovative cross between disciplines at N.C. State.”

According to Bullock, practicing the profession of social work includes the need to prepare graduates for an assortment of different challenges and settings.

As a member of NC State’s 2009 and 2011 ACC Cross Country Championship teams, Patrick Campbell earned All-NCAA Southeast Region honors those same seasons. He was named to the 2009 All-ACC team following his eighth-place finish at the 2009 ACC Cross Country Championship with a time of 23:35.1, while helping NC State to the ACC Championship. In 2011, Campbell finished 15th at the ACC Championship with a time of 23:56.5 to help the Wolfpack to its second ACC crown in three years. On the track, Campbell posted a top 10 finish in five different ACC Indoor and Outdoor Championship races. He placed sixth in the 5,000-meter run at the 2012 ACC Indoor Championship. He qualified for the 2012 NCAA East Regional Championships in the 10,000-meter during the outdoor season after a fifth-place finish in that event at the ACC Championship with a 29:43.56 time.

In her three seasons at NC State, setter Megan Cyr was a constant contributor to the Wolfpack’s volleyball team. She played in every point for 96 matches and 357 sets, posting at least 1,000 assists each year. She finished her career with 3,660 assists, which ranks as the third most in school history. The 6-foot-1 setter from St. Andrews, Manitoba, Canada, also had a three-year attack average of .358, which ranks as the second best in school history. As a senior, she earned All-ACC honors and was an AVCA Honorable Mention All-American. In addition, she was a stellar performer in the classroom, earning a grade-point average above 3.5 in interpersonal communication with a minor in journalism. She was also one of four Wolfpack players selected for the 2012 volleyball All-ACC Academic Team.

In 26 career starts, Mike Glennon became the first player in NC State history to throw for 30 or more touchdowns in two different seasons. He has 63 touchdown passes for his career ranking him third in school history, trailing only Philip Rivers and Russell Wilson, and 10th in ACC history. Passing for 4,031 yards in 2012, Glennon reached the second-highest mark in school history behind Rivers’ 4,491 and the fourth-highest mark in ACC history. In his career, Glennon ranked fourth in school history in passing yards with 7,411, third in completions with 646 and fourth in attempts with 1,069. He led the league in passing with 310 yards per game, ranking him 11th nationally. His career completion percentage of .604 is the second-best mark in Wolfpack history while his career passing efficiency mark of 132.31 ranks fourth. In the classroom, Glennon earned his master’s degree in liberal arts in December at NC State.

Four-year starter Marissa Kastanek, a 2012 Academic All-American and and the 2012 and 2013 ACC Women’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year, finished her career ranked among the top 10 scorers in Wolfpack program history and as one of the most accomplished threepoint shooters in league history. Kastanek was a Freshman All-American and the ACC Freshman of the Year in 2010 after leading the Wolfpack to the NCAA Tournament. Kastanek is involved with Camp Pack, a leadership mentoring program at AB Combs Leadership Magnet Elementary School in Raleigh and is a regular speaker and volunteer at other local schools.

“From a social work perspective, it is essential to include animals in functional assessments of a patient or client’s ecosystem, all of which extends beyond simply the family but also includes the social environment of the person,” Bullock said.

Moga described an example of a household pet barrier in which an elderly person refuses to be hospitalized because there’s no one to care for his or her animal. Moga also said senior citizens will sometimes go without food

and medication because they are more concerned about getting food and medication for their pets.

“That’s not a good position to be in,” Moga said. “As practitioners who are in the position of helping people in the community, we need to figure out a way in which we can put things in place to help people problem solve around barriers.”

According to Moga, twothirds of American households have pets and there are many people who own pets and are in need of social services in the community.

“We have to start by asking,” Moga said. “We’re car-

ing for the entire family. We can’t ignore a very important part of the family that might be consequential for those trying to be served.”

Both Moga and Bullock agreed the first step in crossing the barriers of human-animal relationships is a strong collaborative effort between the disciplines.

“Having a better understanding of [human-animal] relationships, through research and practice has multiple effects,” Bullock said. “This understanding can help advance the fields of social work and veterinary medicine as well as prepare graduates in each field.”

Weiman picked up her second win of the weekend in the third game of the series. She allowed three hits and struck out three in seven innings of action.

In Rychcik’s first season with the Wolfpack, he has scored wins against ranked opponents in five of State’s last 12 games against a ranked opponent.

“I think we’ve just changed the midset a little bit,” Rychcik said. “We’ve made a lot of adjustments, tried to do a lot of different things with the players’ swings and just how we play the game and what we believe in.”

“We’ve got that confidence going. I think it just continued now that we’re in conference. Here, we feel like we can win every game we play.”

the Pack Nine put together a five-run inning in the third to take the game over. NCSU tacked on another run in the fourth to push the lead to five runs.

Boston College put up a final run in the seventh, but that was all the Eagles would manage, losing 6-2.

Senior first baseman Tarran Senay was the big story during the doubleheader as he went 4-for-7 through both games with a double, three RBIs and two runs while extending his hitting streak to 12 games.

“People have to step up and make plays,” Senay said. “Given what these weather conditions were like, so it was good to show up and do that.”

Sophomore shortstop Trea Turner was also 3-for-7 with two runs and an RBI. Turner had two stolen bases in game one and is now within one stolen base of Tom Sergio’s N.C. State career stolen base record.

Sophomore right fielder Jake Fincher reached base in each game and has now reached base in 36 of the Wolfpack’s 38 games this season.

For the second straight start, Stone earned a no decision but pitched brilliantly.

He tied his career long start by going 6.1 innings, matching last week’s effort, while striking out eight, a career best, and giving up just one run.

“It felt great,” Stone said. “It kind of sucks that it wasn’t a no hitter. But I came out knowing what I had to do.”

Head coach Elliott Avent was elated over Stone’s performance on the mound and credits his performance this season to his character.

“He’s so focused and mature and disciplined,” Avent said. “We talked about it this year. With these young guys we had coming in early on, there were a couple guys that stood out as far as their discipline and maturity. Stone was one of those guys and he’s showing it in the way he’s throwing right now.”

Pack takes down Tar Heels Jeniece Jamison Sports Editor

Despite dropping an emotional Senior Day matchup to No. 24 North Carolina, the Wolfpack bounced back to win the next two games of the three-game series against the Tar Heels due to walk-off home runs.

First-year head coach Shawn Rychcik said he has experienced intense rivalries in his coaching career, such as the Boston University-Boston College rivalry.

“You could feel the excitement going into the weekend. The park was packed. I think we had about 1,000 people for yesterday’s games,” Rychcik said. “I learned the rivalries and the tradition’s at this University in a very short time, so I’m glad to be a part of it right now.”

State lost the first game of the

series, 2-1. But its bats came alive in the following two matchups to get its wins, 11-8 and 3-1, respectively.

The first game was a pitcher’s duel between Wolfpack sophomore pitcher Emily Weiman and Lori Spingola. Weiman allowed three hits in seven innings and struck out seven batters.

Both squads posted runs in the fifth inning, but Carolina’s Constance Orr provided the Heels with the winning run in the seventh off a Wolfpack fielding error.

Senior outfielder Caitlin Dent stepped up in her final home series with the Pack in the second game of the three-game series. With the game tied at eight going into the eighth inning, junior catcher Kristy Grant hit a double to center to advance to second base. She got to third on a wild pitch on the next batter and sophomore Renada Davis was put on first with a walk.

Dent stepped up to the plate with runners at the hot corners and took advantage. She hit a three-run home run over the left field wall to win the game.

The drama continued in the final game of the tied series. The Wolfpack fell behind 1-0 after giving up a home run to Kristen Brown. But the Pack had the final say and delivered the finishing blow in the seventh inning. Sophomore shortstop Renada Davis hit a three-run homer over the left field wall to give the Pack the series win against the Tobacco Road rival.

“She’s got a bunch of home runs in the leadoff spot for us. She’s hit the ball really well for us at times,” Rychcik said. “Throughout the order we’ve had some great people for us hit really well, but Renada’s had

DAY ONE The 19th-ranked Wolfpack (28-10, 11-7) took on the Eagles (6-29, 0-17) in a doubleheader Saturday after rescheduling Friday’s rainout.

In the first game, Boston College jumped out to a 5-0 lead after just two innings but State stormed back to take the 6-5 victory. The Pack put up four runs in the top of the fourth to cut the deficit to just a run and took the lead in the sixth after scoring two more runs.

BC made a late game effort, putting two runners into scoring position with just one out in the bottom of the ninth, but the Pack never let up as senior pitcher Grant Sasser held on to the lead and closed it out for N.C. State.

The five-run deficit marks the largest comeback effort for the Wolfpack since March 15, 2011.

State took a 7-5 victory that day over Buffalo after falling being five runs.

In the second game, the Pack fell behind early once again.

WOMEN’S TENNIS

Wolfpack rolls against Terps at home Luke Nadkarni Staff Writer

The N.C. State women’s tennis team shut out visiting Maryland, 7-0, Sunday afternoon at the Dail Outdoor Tennis Stadium.

The Pack won each individual match on the day and refused to drop a set in singles competition. With the win, the Wolfpack improved to 13-6 and 4-5 in ACC play, while the Terrapins dropped to 5-14 with a 0-9 mark in conference.

On Saturday, the Pack defeated Boston College, 5-2, in its first match of the weekend. It was the first time this season that the Wolfpack has won both matches in a weekend in conference play.

“The team worked really hard this week, and we played a great match yesterday,” head coach Hans Olsen said. “We improved going into today.”

State took control early by sweeping the three matches to win the doubles point. The No. 1 team of junior Joelle Kissell and senior Tatiana Illova defeated Maryland’s Vroni Van Berlo and Sarah Gealer 8-4. At No. 2, State sophomores Elisha Hande and Nicole Martinez topped sisters Olga and Nataliya Bredikhina, also by a score of 8-4, to seal the doubles point for the Pack. Senior Chloe Smith and sophomore Sophie Nelson closed doubles play by downing Maryland’s Olga Gaistruk and Gabriela Srodowski 8-5.

“Everyone’s been working so hard, I was so proud of everybody,” Kissell said. “Coming off a road loss, we wanted to do a

little better. Coming out and just fighting for every point.”

The Wolfpack continued its strong showing in singles play, led

by Illova at No. 2, who finished her match first. The No. 112-ranked player in the country defeated Gealer 6-4, 6-2, to double the lead to 2-0 for State. The 50th-ranked Kissell was right behind her at No. 1 on the next court over, topping Van Berlo 6-4, 6-3.

“For me personally, I was just focusing on playing every point, not giving her any loose points,” Kissell said. “Running down everything and playing the way I want to play.”

State clinched the match thanks to Smith, who eased past �Nataliya Bredikhina at No. 3 by a score of 6-2, 6-2. But the Wolfpack was not finished, as freshman Rachael JamesBaker dispatched Gaistruk at the No. 4 spot. No. 6 Martinez was next off the court, beating Srodowski 7-5, 7-5, in the closest match of the day.

Hande rounded out the results for the Pack, defeating Olga Bredikhina 6-3, 7-5, despite being down a break in the second set. Hande had a chance to win in the tenth game of the match, slipping up on a series of match points before recovering to break back and serve out the match.

“I thought that Maryland competed well,” Olsen said. “They have a young team and they’re developing their players. I thought they did a good job.”

Before the match, former Wolfpack coach Kelly Key-Gaines was honored on the court. Key-Gaines coached the team from 1990-95 and is now the executive director of the USTA’s North Carolina division. In between singles and doubles play, several of Key-Gaines’ former play-
