Internship ‘Queen’ visits N.C. State on cross-country tour Rachel Coffman Staff Writer

Lauren Berger, known as “the Intern Queen,” had 15 internships as an undergrad and came to campus Wednesday to help N.C. State students get one of their own.

Berger, who spoke at D.H. Hill Auditorium, is the CEO of internqueen.com and travels around the country speaking at college campuses. She has contributed to The Today Show, Fox & Friends, The New York Times, The New York Post, Teen Vogue, Bloomberg, LA Weekly and more. She regularly contributes to AOL Jobs, USA Today, Huffington Post and Seventeen.com.

Berger gave the audience members her email address and encouraged them to contact her as a resource for seeking internships.

The event, hosted by the Public Relations Student Society of America at N.C. State, was part of Berger’s “Limited On-Campus Tour,” a series of internship talks she is giving at colleges across the country sponsored by The Limited clothing store.

Danielle Mayber, president of PRSSA, said Berger created internqueen.com as a resource to make it easier for college students to get internships. “[Berger’s] mission is to help students take advantage of their resources for internships,” Mayber said.

Berger graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2006 and said students need a minimum of two internship experiences before graduation. Whether they are paid or unpaid positions doesn’t matter.

“I don’t care so much about the paycheck as I do about the experience,” Berger said. “Internships are a solution to figuring out how you want to spend your time after college.”

Berger got her first internship as a freshman in college after being told by the career center at her university that she would not have a chance at gaining an internship until she was a senior.

“I submitted my resume to the internship coordinator the same night I spoke to her, and she told me that she had never had a student follow up with her within 24 hours of their conversation,” Berger said.

“Take advantage of your professional contacts, and email them immediately.”

Berger constantly reinforced the importance of building “below the surface” relationships with professionals and said students should write personal thank-you notes and contact all their professionals at least three times every year.

People gathered at the State Capitol for a candlelight vigil on Wednesday for the Transgender Day of Rememberance. This event was designed to honor those who were killed due to “transphobia” toward the transgender community. Participants read the names of the victims.

Candlelight vigil brings violence toward GLBT community to light Jacqueline Lee Staff Writer

The Raleigh LGBT Center held a candlelight vigil Wednesday outside the State Capitol.

Rebecca Chapin, a board member of the Raleigh LGBT Center and program member for the transgender initiative, led the vigil for the international Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Chapin said the day honors those that have been killed as a result of to violence toward non-genderconforming individuals.

“From this day, we hope to learn and grow as a community in hopes that next year this day will not be needed,” Chapin said.

Participants held candles and read the names and cause of death of members from the transgender community that have been killed or committed suicide during the past year. They also said a prayer, and those present had the opportunity to share why they came to the vigil.

“Today is a sad day, but many great things have come from today,” Chapin said. “It has given us a voice and a platform to speak. We have a

Hofmann resolution fast track canceled Ravi Chittilla Staff Writer

Student Government canceled the scheduled fasttracking of the bill R73 Opposition to the sale of Hofmann Forest at the Student Senate meeting Wednesday night.

Instead, the bill has been moved to the Public Affairs Committee, which will hold an open forum about the topic Nov. 25 in Harrelson 302.

Mary Watzin, dean of the College of Natural Resources, also spoke, defending the University’s decision to sell the forest.

“The purpose of the forest was to produce significant financial income for the programs in the college of natural resources, and we weren’t receiving those,” Watzin said.

Fred Cubbage, a professor of natural resource policy and economics, and Ron Sutherland, a conservation scientists with the Wildlands Network, both spoke out against the sale.

sponsor of the bill, said he disagreed with how the sale has been conducted.

“I don’t think that’s how it should be conducted,” Grindstaff said. “They’re having to make budget cuts, and Hofmann came up on chopping block. Instead of resorting to selling assets we should encourage the General Assembly and the public to invest in higher education” Student Body President,

Alex Parker, said that the bill had very little support as it was written, and had it been fast tracked, he would have vetoed it.

“The sponsors did not really have student input, and it is our purpose to portray what students want, so they decided to cancel the fasttrack.” Parker said.

Grindstaff said many of his colleagues wanted the bill to move to committee to gain

more support and so that the members would have the chance to learn more about the sale.

“I didn’t want to delay it,” Grindstaff said. “I wanted to make a decision because the sale is ongoing, and I want to be react before any decisions can be made before harm is done. I understand the importance of taking it

Young adults today are more likely to live in poverty than previous generations, but a college degree can go a long way in preventing this trend.

The Atlantic reported earlier this month that young adults are extremely likely to spend a year living in poverty.

Data gathered between 1968-2009 show that young adults between the ages of 25 and 34 are more likely to need welfare, face unemployment and live in poverty than any other age group.

W.M. Neal Reynolds Distinguished Economics Professor Michael Walden, said there are several reasons for why this trend is occurring, one of such is relatively weak job market.

This not only makes it difficult for anyone who is looking to find a job but especially for young adults because

they’re less experienced.

“Younger workers are more prone to be laid off or eliminated from the job market because they tend to be the last hired and have the least experience,” Walden said.

According to Walden, college students are less likely to experience poverty because they’ve gone to school to learn a specific skill.

“The job market is extremely tough for young workers who don’t go on to college to master a certain skill that employers want,” Walden said. “There is also the issue of people who have simply dropped out of both school and the labor force and choose to live off their parents or others.”

Walden said he is a strong believer that in the long run, a college education pays for itself.

“If you look at all the data, two things stand out. First,

According to the study, GLBT identified students, recent alumni and faculty members and staff from N.C. State were surveyed. Findings from the study showed faculty members and staff felt the campus has become more tolerant toward gay, lesbian and bisexual since they started teaching at the University.

However, tolerance for members of the transgender community has not.

and you were a high school dropout or graduate, there were hundreds of thousands of jobs in textile mills and printer factories available to you making employment for young adults much less difficult,” Walden said.

According to Wa lden, technological advances have replaced the need for these workers, and now it’s harder to get an entry level job with-

out much experience.

“We don’t have big textile mills or furniture factories anymore and for the ones that we do have, that work is beginning to be done by machines and technology, eliminating the demand for more human workers,” Walden said.

“It was truly amazing and refreshing to be here and to have the privilege to read these new stories,” Lee said.

The N.C. State graduate school finished part one of a four-part process designed to evaluate prospective students more effectively.

The program, called NextGen Admissions, was started in October to standardize how the N.C. State graduate school reviews applications in order to notify students faster.

University administrators can now gather applications easier and send them to the appropriate faculty member instead of placing it into a shared folder, which could affect the document’s security.

“While we’ve had electronic applications for the last ten years, we did not have a good system for electronic review and evaluation by faculty members,” said director of admissions Lindsay Gentile, according to the NCSU Bulletin. “Directors would get an application electronically and print it on paper or move it to an on-line folder or a website that they believed to be secure.”

According to Gentile, the old system wasn’t secure enough and privacy was not ensured.

The new system can be used with desktops and mobile devices.

for students in the college of humanities and social sciences at N.C. State, said not enough students at N.C. State are seeking internships.

“Students might have an idea of what they want to do after college, but until they get some experience, they will not know for sure,” Katz said. “In an internship, students get first-hand experience and gain knowledge of where to start their careers.”

Katz said that an annual survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers listed internships as one of the top-three things employers seek when looking for new employees.

Berger emphasized that in a competitive job market, students have to be persistent.

“I learned early on that you don’t take no for an answer and that whenever there’s a no, you find a yes,” Berger said. “You are going to get rejected for the rest of your life, but that rejection has to propel you to keep going, keep moving, until you find that ‘yes.’”

Brian-Anthony Garrison, a senior in English at N.C. State who attended Berger’s talk, said Berger’s advice and experiences were valuable to students graduating and seeking careers.

“It was a nice reminder that you have to go out and take the initiative in today’s job

to committee, so the senate can have a more informed opinion of the bill.”

There also appears to be a dispute about whether or not the sale of the land is public.

Chancellor Randy Woodson told the Technician Tuesday that the Hofmann Forest is not public property, but rather land owned by the Endowment fund.

However, Cubbage refuted that point Wednesday.

“This is the largest publicly owned tract of land that is owned by the state,” Cubbage said. “There’s a little contention, but we have letters from the state Attorney General’s office that says the state indeed owns it, so I think we can certainly call it public land.”

Watzin did not address this particular issue during her speech to the Senate.

Critics have pointed out that the administration has not been concerned with conservation during the sale.

“It’s [conservation] something that we certainly care about, but it’s not our top priority,” Watzin said.

“My highest obligation as dean of the College of Natural Resources is to use all of our resources is to benefit the most students in the most ways.”

According to Watzin, there are 1,442 undergraduates and about 400 graduate students in the College of Natural Resources.

market,” Garrison said.

In a Q&A session with students after her talk, Berger said if students have an interest in a particular field, they should seek an internship to find out if it is something they would want to consider as a career.

“All of you can think about what you want to do and the ways you’re going to get there,” Berger said. “I can promise more times than not that it’s all going to start with an internship.”

Fracking expert comes to NCSU

CHRIS RUPERT/TECHNICIAN

Mary Watzin, dean of the College of Natural Resources, speaks about the sale of Hofmann Forest Wednesday in Harrelson Hall.

Watzin said her job was to determine what benefits all of these students best, and that most of the educative field work took place at either the Shank Forest or Hill Forest near Durham, and not the Hofmann Forest.

Watzin said that 98 percent of the forestry department’s research does not happen on the grounds of the Hofmann Forest. Instead a majority of the work is done across North Carolina and the United States in other various forests.

“We decided that the primary use of the forest should be as a financial asset and not as a teaching forest,” Watzin

said. “It’s subject to significant risk. If a hurricane or fire destroyed it, we’d lose a significant asset.”

“Most students realize what’s going on and how it was handled,” Grindstaff said. “There’s also the problem this is the first some of us are hearing of it. Some senators have known for a while because of what the news outlets have covered.

Grindstaff said the more students find out about the sale, the more interest there will be in making the details of the decision public.

Staff Report

Lois Gibbs, the founder and executive director of the Center for Health, Environment and Justice came to N.C. State Wednesday to discuss the controversial practice of ‘fracking.’

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, involves injecting a mixture of water, sand and chemicals into the ground to extract natural gas and petroleum. Opponents of the process, such as Gibbs, say fracking can harm the environment and possibly contaminate the water table.

According to Gibbs, fracking is not only an environmental problem, but also a social and economic injus-

tice.

Gibbs said places that have been affected the most by fracking are from rural communities because opinion is so divided about the issue.

People living in towns where fracking has been discussed have turned against each other and have been arguing about whether to lease land to fracking companies, creating a deep divide within these communities.

Gibbs emphasized the power of the student body and its ability to affect public opinion about the issue, according to Amy Thai, a sophomore in international studies.

“At the end of the day people can think about how bad

fracking is, but it’s really action that makes things happen,” Thai said.

Thai said she co-headed the event and wanted to bring Gibbs to N.C. State because she followed her work before she enrolled at the University.

“It was so surreal meeting and speaking with Ms. Gibbs, especially since I wrote a 20page paper on her in high school,” Thai said. “Co-heading this event will always be a highlight in my N.C. State career.”

The Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League and Fossil Free NCSU organized the event.

Last week, McAdory High School of McCalla, Nicky Vaught A l a ., d i s Deputy Features pl aye d a n Editor enormous banner to a rival football team, the Indians from Pinson Valley High.

The banner read: “Hey Indians, get ready to leave in a Trail of Tears Round 2.”

It took a few days for the principal — not even the students who were responsible — to publicly apologize for the blatant undermining of what he referred to as “horrific atrocities.”

So not only do we have one high school using an entire race of people as its mascot, we also have another school comparing what is essentially genocide to the loss of a football game.

As Adrienne Keene, author of Native Appropriations, points out, this sort of behavior raises many concerns as to how “Native Americans are perceived in American culture.”

More commonly than any other race, it seems, Native Americans are misrepresented or ignored completely in media. Their history is evidently nothing more than a joke.

Inhumanities of this sort are never funny. They’re never to be taken lightly.

That’s it.

Even at N.C. State, we see this sort of institutionalized bigotry and disregard for history.

The religious organization, CRU, which is part of a worldwide organization known as Campus Crusade for Christ, finally caught some flak a few years ago for its name.

During the transition from Campus Crusade to CRU, leaders said the name change was meant to signal a broadening of the organization’s mission and to overcome stereotypes — not even because it was offensive.

Members pointed out how frequently people associated Campus Crusade with the Crusades of the Middle Ages.

Then-director of the program, Mike Mehaffie, said, “Our name never had any ties with the crusades of old.”

Well, the modern tea party has nothing to do with the Boston tea party, but the rhetoric forces us to draw comparisons.

Shortening the group name to CRU doesn’t do much either. We know what it’s short for.

This sort of blatant appropriation of historic tragedies occurs far too frequently in our so-called “developed” nation. Sure, we learn about these crimes against humanity, but rather than learn from them, we make them into jokes. We use them as points in irrelevant debates. We name our religious groups after them. It needs to stop.

May I ask the esteemed editorial staff why they have been so far silent about our partnership with the lawless National Security Agency? In August, N.C.

Earlier in that same week, former Gov. Sarah Palin challenged the African-American ideology of slavery, comparing it to the impending consequences of the national debt.

In an interview with Jake Tapper, who asked if she could understand why African-Americans were offended, Palin replied, “I can, if they choose to misinterpret what I’m saying.”

She then said she was using another dictionary definition of slavery, one that, upon further inspection, does not exist.

What she seems to imply is that black people are not smart enough or willing to understand her alternate definition of the historic accounts of inhumanity, which hold little to no bearing on her life.

Slavery didn’t happen so idiot politicians could drive home their points about the national debt, which many of these politicians helped create in the first place. Slavery didn’t happen because politicians, somewhere down the line, would need to make a point.

The Comedy Central show South Park once devoted an episode, “Jared Has Aides,” to the idea that it takes 22.3 years before a tragedy is funny — or, at least, not to be taken seriously.

Unfortunately, these days it seems as though people agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment. High schools students joke about the Trail of Tears, politicians use slavery for discussions about anything but race, and the Holocaust is essentially its

Technician cheered. Note that this occurred after The Guardian published documents the NSA admitted were genuine that proved widespread, ongoing criminal activity at the NSA. How do we justify this to our fellow citizens while we are aiding and abetting crimes against them? There is no justification. Our association with the NSA is unconscionable and should cease immediately. To those involved in this project, shame on you. Your canned response that you are doing nothing wrong merely indicates that you have coupled sociopathy with your con-

tempt for the Constitution.

The NSA claims (without, mind you, ever producing any actual evidence) to protect us from terrorists. In fact, it is a criminal organization that we need protection from. I ask my fellow students to join me in standing up for ourselves and for our reputation as an educational institution. We can accomplish our goals without associating ourselves with criminals.

Do you consider yourself an adult?

BY HUNTER JOHNSON

“Yes, of course I do. I believe it’s not the age that makes you and adult, it’s the things you go through in life that makes you mature and molds you into an adult.”

“To some degree, yes, I do consider myself an adult but not completely though because college is an in between zone.

Thats what it’s for. College is a step up from high school and is the prequel to the real world”

“No, I don’t consider myself an adult because my age does not define whether or not I am an adult, and I still rely on my parents.”

The demise of privacy

S

tartups and technology companies are pushing the boundaries of wearable technologies. They demonstrated the future of marketing, mobile technology and consumer behavior tracking during the Te c h Me dia Internet Tyler Gobin Summit at Staff Columnist the Raleigh Convention Center this past week.

The Tech Media Internet Summit brought in digital media marketing executives, startup entrepreneurs, software developers and anyone else interested in digital media from around the country for a three-day event in downtown Raleigh.

Speakers included Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Bandwidth’s David Morken, comedian Kevin Pollak, Twitter’s Southeast director Brent Herd, and Cheezburger founder Ben Huh. Topics ranged from a startup showdown to trends about human behavior, and from the social media revolution to the future of mobile devices.

Though every person took away something different from the Internet Summit, one constant theme was change and the unknown.

“New rules” was a common phrase used toward all of the new technology in mobile devices, marketing and wearable technologies.

For example, think about how marketing has changed.

Nowadays, marketers prob-

ably know more about you than you know about yourself. Data are being collected with everything you do with your mobile device, tablet or computer. With every click or action you perform with an app, data are being collected, stored and used to personalize the content you see. This is why sites like Amazon and Google will look different to you than they will to your friend, even if you search for the same thing.

And the big data trend will only continue to grow. With the emergence of wearable devices, data collection is becoming very personal.

Google Glass is the most prominent device and has a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display. It’s not very visually appealing at the moment, but for some people, being on the cutting edge is more important than appearance.

With Google Glass, users can share what they see live, see directions right in front of them, ask Glass to answer any question, translate speech into various languages and speak to send messages.

Another new technology is Airo. Airo is a wristband made by a Canadian company that claims the product can automatically track the calories someone consumes and the quality of the meals.

It also monitors calorie output, stress levels and circadian rhythms while you sleep.

If you think this technology is too cutting edge, consider that four engineering students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology won

first prize for a wrist technology called Wristify, which claims to regulate your temperature. It monitors body and air temperature and sends pulses of hot or cold waveforms to the wrist to stabilize any deviation. The team recognized the incredible amount of energy consumed for space heating and cooling, and Wristify could revolutionize our heating and cooling systems.

All of these technologies monitor more about a person’s life than before and enable marketers and companies to sneak even farther into your life. And as cities become universally connected via Wi-Fi, the data will be a click away.

At first glance, a lot of consumers will probably have a problem with the invasiveness of new technologies as they encroach further, but I’m here to tell you the battle is not worth fighting.

Throughout the Internet Summit, executives and students alike were a little creeped out but came to terms with the future.

No one can tell you what the future is going to be like because technology has never developed as fast as it is developing now. As I talked with numerous people at the Summit, I noticed there was a certain energy in the room from the mutual curiosity about what is to come. To the right person, the unknown is exhilarating and revs people’s engines. When change happens, I hope everyone is ready to go.

{LETTER TO THE EDITOR}

In response to “How to argue against evolutionists”

I have been at N.C. State for a few years now and was proud to be a part of a Science and Engineering school.

So, it surprises me when I see an argument like this in the school newspaper or between anyone on campus.

The theory of evolution is a fact. I understand that term can be confusing but in science you call many fields of study a theory. For example the Gravitational Theory (gravity) is still a fact. Our understanding of evolution is paramount to our society.

Modern medicine, genetics, biology, sociology and really any research done into humans or animals. Intelligent Design does not belong

in the science classroom or in a world class educational institution, other than in a religious course. Religion and your beliefs are personal, so don’t use them to badmouth or block the progress of science and technology. Every day you use your TVs and iPhones and then want to badmouth science...? Try showing a little respect for it.

Modern science explains our origins to the present perfectly. It’s not hard to understand. The pope has even agreed there is no dichotomy between science and religion.

God created the big bang, he created a system which is our universe. Science only explains how god’s creation works.... The Bible is just a book, written by men. Creationism is not true at all. As for science saying the earth

was flat or the center of the universe, that was the church.

Modern science has only been around since the 1800s. ID and Creationism is really a vague unreliable determination of our origins when evolution can be explained fully, down to how the cells can change. We can even watch evolution in the lab in species that have short lifespans, seeing the population change. I will continue to work for the progress of science, and I hope all others who work in science come forward to say no to abusive, misleading information rooted in religion from being a norm.

Citizens seek to rebuild historic park Sara Awad Staff Writer

The John Chavis Memorial Park sat among Southeastern Raleigh’s citizens for about 75 years as a relic of the past and a vessel for the future.

The park, located off of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, provided a recreational area for African-Americans in the Triangle and far elsewhere at the tail end of the Jim Crow era. However, during the 1970s and 1980s, the park fell into a state of disrepair and disuse, according to David Shouse, senior park planner for the City of Raleigh.

Members of the Chavis Park Community Conversation trying to revitalize the park by holding discussions about how to best implement its restoration, and the Chavis Community Center will hold a public forum to review the draft of the master plan in December.

THE HISTORY The Raleigh Board of Commissioners officially named the park John Chavis Memorial Park in 1938 after African-American educator, patriot and preacher John Chavis.

The Works Progress Administration established the park as a parallel to nearby Pullen Park, the park white citizens used for recreation.

However, the goal of “separate but equal” parks may not have been fully realized.

“The two parks never were and never will be completely equal, but people still draw comparisons and it doesn’t allow some to see the larger picture of the entire City of Raleigh Park System and the way we provide activities and services,” Shouse said.

The City of Raleigh received the 66-acre Pullen Park as a gift in 1887, according to Shouse. Like the 29-acre Chavis Park, it had a swimming pool, carousel and community center, but Pullen Park was twice as big.

Though unequal, Chavis Park was the only park for African-Americans in the South, according to Gretchel Carter, a member of the Public Leadership Group for the Chavis Park Community Conversation.

“It was like a regional park.

People spent hours there and drove thousands and thousands of miles,” Carter said. “There was no walking space.”

Famous singer Cab Calloway even had his photograph taken at the park’s pool in the 1930s, and literal busloads— often from churches—headed to the park regularly, especially on weekends when picnics were common, Carter said.

Chavis was built on the edge of town, and the community grew up around the park, not the other way around, according to Shouse.

“It was literally people’s backyard,” Shouse said.

In 1941, the WPA program ended, and the City of Raleigh began managing the park, which created a change in management and a movement to a “combined park system,” according to Shouse.

Carter said the park hosted “Teenage Frolics,” which allowed her and others to show off their “soul train” dance moves. It moved to WRAL as a regular televised program

hosted by J.D. Lewis in 1958 and ended in 1983.

The Professional Negro Basketball League played at the park, as well as the Shaw University football team, according to Carter.

Q & A Thursday: sophomore guard Kaley Moser Daniel Wilson Staff Writer

Along with its numerous student-athletes who have earned scholarships, N.C. State has a large conglomerate of athletes who have walked onto each of the Wolfpack’s 19 varsity teams. The Technician had the chance to speak with the women’s basketball team’s only returning walk-on from last season: sophomore guard Kaley Moser.

The 5-foot-11 Burlington native joined the team in the fall of 2012 after lettering four years at Williams High School and has been a key component off the bench for State ever since. She raised about $12,000 for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund in her senior season at Williams and helped boost her team to the 2012 3A state championship.

Moser played in seven games last season and has played eight minutes her three games with the Pack this season. She scored a career-high six points against Presbyterian on Nov. 16.

Technician: What made you decide to pick N.C. State instead of another university in the state?

Moser: “I chose N.C. State because I really liked its engineering program, and I grew up a huge Wolfpack fan. It was an obvious decision for me.”

Q: Despite not earning a scholarship to play for the Pack, what drove you to join the team as a walk-on?

A: “I loved basketball growing up, and I loved Kay Yow. She is one of my role models, and it was a dream when I was a little girl to play on the team. There was an open tryout for the team my freshman year, so I said, ‘Why not?’”

Q: You’ve been through an entire season with former head coach Kellie Harper, and you’ve played three games with head coach Wes Moore at the helm. What differences have you noticed between their coaching styles?

A: “With Coach Harper, it was different than in high school. It was tough assimilating to college life at first. Coach Moore and Coach Harper used to work together, and some of their styles are similar in the basketball sense, but they both have different personalities. They are both great coaches, and I have enjoyed the opportunity to play under both of them.”

Q: You had the highest scoring game of your career against the Blue Hose on Nov. 16. How did it feel scoring those two three-pointers with the energetic crowd supporting you?

A: “It was really exciting. I stay after practice everyday and work on my three-point shooting and work on everything else. It was exciting that some hard work paid off, but I have got a lot more hard work to do to make that happen again.”

Q: Two players on the men’s basketball team, junior guard Staats Battle and sophomore guard Chase Cannon have been pro-

moting the “walk-on life” with their “Battle Cannon” series. What does the “walk-on life” mean to you, and do you feel like it sets you apart from the scholar athletes?

A: “I think the ‘walk-on life’ isn’t like it is for the men’s team because I still feel like I’m part of the same team. We all still do everything

QUOTE OF THE DAY “We were more concerned about how we were playing, and we weren’t locked in.”

Alston Kearns junior libero

N.C. State (2-2) suffered its first home loss of the season on Wednesday night, falling 82-72 in overtime to visiting North Carolina Central (3-1) at PNC Arena.

Senior guard Jeremy Ingram scored 29 points, including 19 from the foul line, to lead the Eagles who earned their first win over an ACC opponent. Fellow senior guard Emanuel Chapman added 18 for the Eagles.

Freshman guard Patrick Wallace scored a threepointer with 2.7 seconds left, which forced the game into overtime. However, the Pack went ice-cold in the extra session, going scoreless until 1:21 remained on the clock.

“Ever since we made the transition [to Division I], it’s been tough on Tobacco Road,” Central head coach LeVelle Moton said. “It’s a huge win for North Carolina Central University.”

The Pack began the game on a 7-0 run on consecutive baskets by sophomore guard Tyler Lewis, and junior guard Ralston Turner scored a three-pointer with 3:03 into the contest, but the Pack didn’t score a field goal for more than 8 minutes after that as the Eagles took a brief 14-12 lead.

Sophomore forward T.J. Warren broke the field goal drought to tie the game, but the Pack continued to struggle with Central’s 2-3 zone throughout the rest of the half. Warren picked up his third foul on a hand check

with 4:30 in the half. Turner followed him to the bench with his third personal foul two minutes later. In total, State was whistled for 13 of the 25 fouls between the teams in the opening frame.

The Eagles used the free throw line to great effect in the half, going 13-14 from the stripe to take a 33-27 lead into the break.

“Anytime you’re in foul trouble and have guys on the bench, it changes the way you play,” Turner said. “Sometimes it makes you play tentative instead of aggressive.”

Central kept the lead until the Pack tied it at 46 apiece on a layup by freshman guard Anthony “Cat” Barber and forced a turnover on the other end with just under nine minutes left, but an offensive foul on freshman forward Lennard Freeman gave the ball right back to the Eagles who scored the next seven points and forced head coach Mark Gottfried to call a timeout at the 5:51 mark.

The Wolfpack responded by holding the Eagles scoreless for the next three minutes, drawing even on a putback by Freeman with 3:29 left. Warren fouled out of the game with 2:42 left, leaving State without its top scoring threat for the remainder of the contest. Central’s Jeremy Ingram hit both free throws to put the Eagles back on top.

“Sometimes it happens like that,” Barber, who led the Pack with 22 points, said. “[Central] just maintained and kept playing harder.”

Central stretched its lead to 59-53 before Barber made five of six free throws in a 20-second span to make it a

2-point game with 38.5 seconds remaining. The Pack fouled Chapman, who made both shots. A driving layup

by Lewis made it 62-60 with 12.9 seconds left. This time, State fouled Ingram, who made one of the two shots from the charity stripe, setting the stage for Wallace’s shot.

“It was a good find by Cat,” Wallace said. “I was ready to shoot as soon as I got in the game.”

But the Eagles scored the first 11 points in overtime and salted the game away at the line.

“I’m really proud of their toughness because we could have folded when Wallace hit the three,” Moton said. “But they came right back and played five more minutes of basketball.”

No. 14 Tar Heels sweep State in Pack’s home season finale Zack Tanner Staff Writer

In the volleyball team’s last home game of the 2013 season, N.C State fell to No. 14 UNC-Chapel Hill by a score of 3-0. The match marked the team’s second straight loss The first match between these two teams had similar results, as the Tar Heels (253, 14-3 ACC) defeated the Wolfpack (20-9, 11-6 ACC) in a 3-0 sweep on Sept. 25.

Entering the match, State had won nine of its last 10 at home, with its only loss coming to Virginia Tech on Saturday night. UNC-CH entered the match with a four-game winning streak.

Neither team moved in the ACC standings after Wednesday’s match. The Pack remained in fourth place, while UNC-CH maintained its position at second, two games behind rival and conference frontrunner No. 13 Duke.

The first set was dominated by the Heels as an early first set run allowed them to jump out to an 8-3 lead.

Heels’sophomore outside hitter Leigh Andrew highlighted the run with two service aces.

UNC-CH recorded nine service aces on the evening with seven service errors.

“We weren’t focusing on the server,” junior libero Alston Kearns said. “We were more concerned about how we were playing, and we weren’t locked in.”

From there, U NC-CH maintained its pace to finish the set, 25-17, leading at one time by as much as nine.

Blocking played a huge role

in the Heels success in the first set. UNC-CH recorded four team blocks and held the Pack to a .098 hitting percentage. Senior middle blocker Brie Merriwether said that elevation was the best way to adjust to the Heels’ block.

“It was mostly about going high hands,” Merriwether said. “They’re a big team, and we’re not the biggest. Sometimes it’s nice to have a lot of hands in front of you because it makes it easy to tool. We just have to make sure that we swing high and cover our hitters.”

The second set didn’t look any better for the Pack. The Heels came out with as much ferocity as they did in the first set. Not only did UNC-CH

block three more Pack kills, the team’s hitting percentage was an astounding .481, which was a stark comparison from the State’s ACCbest .158 opponent hitting percentage.

Momentum quickly shifted in the third set as the Pack ran out for a quick 6-2 lead.

However, UNC-CH tied the game and retook the lead with a 13-11 lead, forcing State into a timeout. The remainder of the match was tightly-contested, but a few ball-handling errors on crucial rallies put the dagger in the Pack as it dropped the final set, 25-20.

“UNC is a really good defensive team,” Merriwether said. “In a long rally, they

keep picking up the ball, and it’s hard for us to put it down.”

Defense for the Pack improved in the third as it held the Heels to .162 hitting percentage. Merriwether said that the improvement was a mix of adjustment and boosted energy.

“We started picking up our performance,” Merriwether said. “They didn’t do anything different, we just played better ourselves. We were going to fight. There was nothing else to lose. We were down 2-0.”

Setter controversy continued to plague the Pack.

Sophomore setter Tanna Aljoe started the game but was replaced halfway through the

second set by freshman setter Maggie Speaks. Aljoe totaled 13 assists and 4 digs, while Speaks recorded 17 assists and a service error. Neither players made a strong case for the starting role.

State closes its season with three straight road games with the first coming at Pittsburgh on Sunday. In terms of the team’s outlook for the remainder of the season, Merriwether said nothing has changed in terms of the team’s confidence.

“It shows that we need to play better,” Merriwether said. “It’s not an indication that we’re not a good team; it just tells us that we’re not playing to our potential.”
