Steam-plant renovations to increase efficiency Joseph Havey Staff Writer

After a year and a half, two new boilers at the Yarborough Steam Plant, located on North Campus, are up running and should provide energy to the campus community more efficiently.

An 18-month project to upgrade the boilers at the Yarborough Drive Steam Plant is now complete, which should result in a 14 percent improvement in energy efficiency. Plant engineers replaced two 60-year-old, 50,000-poundper-hour boilers with two new 100,000-pound-per-hour boilers, according to the NCSU Bulletin.

“Sustainability at N.C. State is about helping make the university leaner, smarter and stronger,” said Carla Davis, communication coordinator for the University Sustainability Office. “These boiler upgrades certainly accomplish this by increasing efficiency and improving campus energy reliability.”

The Yarborough Plant works in tandem with the Cates Utility Plant to provide steam for heat and

chilled water for cooling to both Main and Central campuses, according to Bill Ferrell, a plant engineer at the Yarborough facility.

The Yarborough upgrade was the last phase in a $61 million energy performance contract, which also added cogeneration technology to the Cates Plant in 2012.

“Simply put, cogeneration is where we take incoming fuel source—natural gas—convert it into electricity for the campus and use the waste heat from a gas turbine to produce free steam to heat the campus,” Ferrell said.

Instead of letting the exhaust heat dissipate into thin air, cogeneration technology captures this heat and uses it to generate steam.

This process is called “combined heat and power,” Ferrell said.

In addition to the new technology, the updated Yarborough Plant boilers will run on a different type of fuel oil that burns cleaner than its predecessor. This fuel oil is used as a backup fuel supply in case the natural gas supply is reduced by

Dance act opens, creates ‘mind-bending’ illusions Katherine Kehoe Assistant News Editor

LEO, the award-winning, anti-gravity theater performance, amazed audience members and challenged the perception of reality during its showing in Titmus Theater during its first showing on Tuesday.

The performance featured a single acrobatic dancer on a large, simply painted box on top of the theater’s main stage. The real interest of the show was not the unique visual appeal of the set, but the way the performer interacted with it.

Next to the stage stood a large screen which projected every movement made by Julian Schulz, the show’s solitary actor. While Schulz acted laying down,

leaning, jumping on the walls and throwing himself upside down, the screen presented the scene from a side view. Because of his position, the projection appeared as if Schulz was performing right side up, giving the show its anti-gravity effect.

Julie Bernstorf, a senior in biological engineering, said she has seen another anti-gravity show in the past, and she chose to see this one because of how interesting she found the concept.

“It’s more exciting than normal dance performances because the concept is so foreign,” Bernstorf said. “It’s very fascinating to think about not having any gravity.”

Students travel to Ukraine, document political unrest Gabe DeCaro Correspondent

During spring break, Andriy Shymonyak and Neel Mandavilli, both juniors in political science, travelled to Ukraine in order to film a documentary about the recent protests. *Editor’s note: Mandavilli currently works as a contributing columnist for the Technician.

Shymonyak said that the purpose of the documentary was to capture the role of young people, those born in an independent Ukraine as opposed to under Soviet domination, and detail it within the context of the revolution.

“We sought to answer the question as to what compels someone, who has their entire life ahead of them, to protest in below-zero temperatures, spend the night out sleeping in Independence Square, going in front of riot police and facing snipers,” Shymonyak said.

According to Mandavilli, he wants N.C. State to think about what it really means to be a citizen.

“It is about sharing these stories.

A lot of the times, there are certain

voices that are lost in the bigger stories that are shared. We want to start a conversation at N.C. State as to what it means to be a citizen of a nation and Ukraine presents a powerful example of answering these questions,” said Mandavilli.

Shymonyak and Mandavilli conducted 39 interviews from a variety of people including students, professors, journalists and a priest in order to provide the content for their documentary.

Their questions included: what was your role in the revolution, what was your average day like during the protests, how did your involvement change over time.

Shymonyak said that many students fell behind in their classes, became sick and got little sleep due to their involvements in the protests.

“The students are the bone of the revolution, while the muscle and skin are those that followed and made the revolution stronger,” said Shymonyak quoting an interviewee.

If a laptop goes missing, if a stranger is prowling around campus, or if a student leaves the library at 3 a.m., escorts, security guards and officers show up to help.

But when students all go home for a break, as they did for the past week, Campus Police Chief Jack Moorman said the police force is downgraded, but not by much.

“When students are on break, it

would be logical to expect that we would have less crime because we have very few people remaining on campus to be victimized,” Moorman said. “However, the flip-side is that there are fewer eyes and ears out there to report suspicious activity, and there is more opportunity for property crimes to go undetected.”

According to the online Campus Police Daily Crime log, there were 61 reported crimes between March 3 and March 7, when students were in class. Between March 10 and Friday, when students were on spring break,

45 crimes were reported.

When students are gone, it’s easier for someone to commit a burglary or larceny undetected, Moorman said. During the same Monday Friday periods, counts of larceny and breaking and entering exactly doubled when students left campus.

In response, Campus Police keeps the same number of officers on patrol during classes and during breaks. In addition to detectives, mounted patrol officers and other

Small businesses support increase in minimum wage, survey says Estefania Castro-Vazquez Assistant News Editor

Effective Jan. 1, lawmakers in more than a dozen states raised minimum-wage rates, but North Carolina wasn’t one of them.

Since then, President Barack Obama has urged Congress to set the minimum wage rate at $10.10 in February. Obama has drawn criticism for his plan from state lawmakers, such as U.S. Senate candidate Thom Tillis, who said the federal government shouldn’t even set a minimum wage, accord-

insidetechnician

ing to The Charlotte Observer.

Despite this debate, a nonprofit has found that a majority of small business owners support Obama’s plan to increase the minimum wage.

The Small Business Majority, a nonprofit organization that aims to shed light on issues faced by small business owners, found using a recent poll conducted across the nation that about 57 percent of small business owners are in favor of raising the minimum wage to $10.10.

Small Business Majority has locations in eight states and works solely on small business issues and policy

stances from polling, according to Allison Abney, the media relations manager for Small Business Majority.

The official findings were that 57 percent of surveyed small business owners support raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 in three stages during two and a half years to $10.10 and that it should be adjusted annually to keep pace with the cost of living, according to Abney.

ough Street since 2009, said that while he did not have a strong preference in the matter, he personally has never paid any of his employees minimum wage, even before the recession.

Poole said he often hires college students that are working part-time jobs and that because he is 29, relatively young for a small business owner, he understands that times can be tough.

“I’ve always paid my employees more than that,” Poole said. “I’ve been in that world and I know what it’s like. It just takes more to survive these days.”

Poole said that if he were asked to vote he would probably vote to raise the wage to $10.10, even though he believes it would not affect him directly.

Findings have showed that 61 percent of retail and restaurant businesses voted yes, 50 percent of men voted yes, 68 percent of women said yes, and that of businesses that earn less than $100,000 a year, 59 percent voted yes, Abney said.

According to Abney, a professional polling company carried out the process of surveying small business owners for Small Business Majority.

Abney said the company had done a similar poll before that did not include a specific dollar amount to which the wage should be raised and that though this poll showed that a majority were in favor of the increase, it did not make them certain that the $10.10 poll would have the same outcome.

Abney said Small Business Majority does opinion polling in other areas, like tax policy, but that polling is only one component of what the organization does. Once the organization has collected data from polling, the group seeks to advocate for the majority opinion. The organization then works on outreach and education, Abney said.

The process of outreach and education involves informing small business owners about how different laws and regulations affect them, according to Abney.

Abney said that as a nonprofit organization, its goal is to advocate and reach out to lawmakers in both federal and state governments.

“Our overall goal is to make sure small businesses are heard by policy makers and by the media because small businesses provide half of private sector goods,” Abney said.

“They are a large part of our economy and it’s important to meet their needs.”

Shymonyak said he interviewed Serhiy Kvit, the current Minister of Education for Ukraine, who said the students that occupied the Ministry of Education during the protests had a great impact on the formation of the new government. According to Shymonyak, Kvit also praised the students who participated in the beginning of the revolution as they gave it energy and inspired others to join in.

“Regardless of what you major in, it is important to be aware of what’s happening in your country, be aware of the political situation and be an active citizen that participates in the democratic process,” said Shymonyak in response to what the N.C. State community can learn from their filming the documentary.

Shymonyak said their documentary shows that students can make a differ-

Nighttime, however, is different. When classes are in session, four contracted security guards work each night.

One guard drives a safety escort vehicle, and the other three lock buildings, conduct

foot patrols or escort students on foot, if needed, Moorman said.

“Since buildings are left locked and students are not on campus during break, we reduce the number of security guards on campus during spring and summer breaks,”

Moorman said.

Summer break is no different from spring break.

Because N.C. State still hosts summer sessions and a variety of camps and activities for non-college students, Campus Police is still needed, Moorman said.

ence by standing up, making their voices heard and mobilizing. “There is a responsibility to participate in the situation that needs to be understood,” said Shymonyak “The important thing is to not be apathetic and instead fight the fights that need fighting,” said Shymonyak.

Shymonyak said there were multiple ways for the students to participate in the protests from being on the frontlines of the self-defense squad, cooking, tending to the wounded and getting the word out via social networking. “They had this thing called the ‘couch hundred’ that was a group of individuals who were on social media using their connections and engaging in the spread of information,” said Shymonyak.

Shy monya k said their documentary seeks to tell the narrative of the past three crucial months in Ukraine, from Nayem’s first call to arms in November to the ousting of Yanukovych at the end of February. The revolution, known as the Euromaidan protest, started at

the tail end of November due to the Ukrainian parliament not signing the association agreement with the European Union.

Shy monya k, who had worked in the Ukranian parliament prior to these events, shared the sentiment of shock with the Ukranian people that the promise of signing the agreement had been broken. From there, he said students began to come out to protest in Independence Square in Kyiv who were then followed by riot police that violently beat the students.

According to Shymonyak, the beating of the protestors coupled with the passage of laws that limited the ability of people to protest (such as prison time for wearing helmets) ultimately led to the “slip from democracy, or any remnants thereof, into an authoritarian regime.”

The conflicts after this point continued to escalate to the point of fatalities, according to Shymonyak. Eventually, the President was brought up on terms of impeachment

based on charges of corruption, stealing from the public coffers and killing his own people.

Shymonyak said the city itself had stabilized by the time they arrived in Kyiv. “Outside of Independence Square, it would not have been apparent that clashes had occurred weeks prior unless you saw tire barricades, read the news, saw an abnormal number of flags,” said Shymonyak. In Independence Square though, Shymonyak described the thousands of flowers and hundreds of candles that were laid out in remembrance for those who died during the revolts.

9:06 P.M. | TRAFFIC ACCIDENT Dan Allen Dr/Western Blvd Officer observed non-student Two student were involved in traffic accident.

“When you spoke with people, you could tell that they were still traumatized from the events in the previous weeks,” said Shymonyak.

Mandavilli, who was primarily in charge of production and equipment management, said that there is still a lot of work to do on the documentary before it is ready for release, most of which is composed of translating the interviews word for word into English from Ukrainian. Mandavilli said that he envisions a finished product by the end of this year.

According to Daeke, the problem was corrected shortly after it occurred, and the plant is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week with qualified staff to ensure that potentially harmful problems do not go unnoticed.

“Black smoke can occur when using fuel oil and the fuel-to-air ratio needs to be adjusted,” Daeke said. “This has been corrected, and the campus community should not be worried about this situation.”

College costs cripple student population I consider finances when deciding what school to attend.

While 75.5 percent of students analyzed were admitted into their first-choice school, only 56.9 percent enrolled, opting in favor of institutions that offered better financial aid packages or simply cost less. In fact, 45.9 percent of students said cost was a “very important” factor, up 14.9 percentage points over the last decade.

The Obama Administration made new moves on Friday and proposed “gainful employment” policies to hold for-profit colleges and other career training programs responsible for producing graduates able to earn enough money to pay back student loans. The regulations are intended to protect students from accumulating great amounts of student-loan debt that they will be unable to repay after graduation.

If finalized, the regulations would take effect in 2016.

It is unlikely that these proposed changes will make a significant difference to Knox. She is a determined young woman who knows what she wants and how she is going to get it.

The New Perestroika

n March 4, following his invasion of Crimea, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a telling press conference. Many Western commentators observing Russian actions toward Ukraine took the view that afWes ter the Olympics Kyatt Contributing in Sochi—and more than 23 Columnist years of a postSoviet Russia—Putin would calculate a full-fledged invasion of Ukraine to be against his interests. As it turns out, many Western commentators, including this one, may have been wrong.

During the now infamous press conference, Putin displayed himself as someone who is at least perceiving reality very differently from the West, and at worst completely detached from reality altogether. Russian troops were storming Ukrainian military installations in Crimea as Putin denied Russia was involved militarily at all.

“There are many uniforms there that are similar. You can go to a store and buy any kind of uniform,” Putin said.

The squadrons storming Crimea weren’t Russian units; they were “local defense units.” Two weeks later, Russian military exercises were being conducted just off Ukraine’s eastern border.

If observers were gullible enough to believe Putin at the time, Russian actions since then illustrate that scenario as unlikely.

Putin has indicated beyond the shadow of a doubt that he and the United States are reading from different playbooks. President Barack Obama has correctly insisted upon a diplomatic solution,

In her interview with Piers Morgan, Knox revealed the cost of attendance for the 2013-2014 year at Duke University, including fees for tuition, room, board, books and personal expenses, is an estimated $61,404. Tuition alone is estimated to cost a little over $45,000 and Knox is not alone in her struggle with absurdly high fees. Students across the nation are under an immense amount of stress concerning payment of student debts. Currently more than 40 million Americans struggle with student debt. Students in the United States are more than $1.2 trillion in debt, making it nearly impossible for college graduates to start careers without financial burden. In further support of Knox’s argument against student loans being a suitable option, thousands of students are unable to repay their loans.

The average waiter or waitress earns a median wage of $8.92 per hour, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s about $357 per week, before taxes and assuming a 40-hour work week.

Knox is not the only female using her body as a way to finance her postsecondary education. In 2008, a 22-yearold women’s studies major, under the assumed name of Natalie Dylan, publicized that she would sell her virginity to finance her college studies. Bids soared as high as $3.8 million. Two years later, an anonymous 19-yearold university student in New Zealand’s Northland region followed the trend and accepted a bid that placed a $32,000 price tag on her virginity to raise tuition money for school.

In each case, these young women seem desperately in pursuit of any means possible to pay for college and support their futures. Although people may disagree on the methods these young women go about paying for their education, it is admirable how bold and determined they are in their pursuits to tackle the crippling debt of being a student.

IN YOUR WORDS

while insisting that the vote in Crimea to join the Russian federation is illegitimate, resulting in intimidation from Moscow. U.S. economic sanctions put in place yesterday target specific officials, including those close to Putin and former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.

The U.S. did not sanction Putin himself, leaving room to up the ante if the situation continues to escalate.

Unfortunately, as indicated by the bruising the DOW took last Thursday, Russian banks have likely already anticipated sanctions. A vast amount of Russian money was taken out of the U.S. beforehand, and likely placed in London or Germany, where governments are more reticent to take action against the Kremlin.

If the U.S. was beaten to the punch, it’s unlikely that Putin is going to stop his expansion with Crimea. Still, that doesn’t mean an invasion of Ukraine is imminent, although it’s a definite possibility. Putin may be acting irrationally according to a Western worldview, but if his goal is to reconstruct the former Soviet Union, it will require more than an invasion of a former territory. Russia will seek to frustrate U.S. interests via backchannels in places such as Syria and Iraq, where U.S. foreign policy is already shaky. If the U.S. doesn’t play its cards perfectly, distractions will gift Putin with the tool of surprise, which he will exploit yet again.

If a Ukrainian invasion occurs, it must be met with military force by the U.S. and its allies. Part of the reason Putin continues to push the envelope during this crisis

has to do with the fact that he believes Obama is bluffing— a direct result of missteps on the “redline” in Syria. Mistakes such as that are unaffordable now. It’s not clear what the Russian president is thinking, but his previous attempt to annex Georgia in 2008 indicates he isn’t interested in reclaiming only one territory. The time has come to consider a systematic annexation of former territories piece by piece.

In t he meantime, t he current level of economic sanctions is regarded by the Russians as “toothless” and “symbolic.” The U.S. should take severely drastic measures against Putin during what increasingly looks like the run-up to a military standoff.

When this started, there was talk of boycotting the G20 and G8 summits. This is no longer appropriate. Instead, Russia should be barred from these groups altogether. The United Nations needs to consider possible actions against Russia, including the legitimacy of its Security Council seat. Finally, the U.S. needs to get the Navy out of the wild goose chase that is Malaysian Flight 370, and into the Black Sea. “Perest roi ka” l itera l ly means “restructuring.” As the Cold War ended, “perestroika” was the term for the policies that rebuilt Russia from the ashes of the Soviet Union. Now, in Putin’s hands, a new perestroika threatens to rebuild to Soviet Union from the ashes of sovereign states—that’s a liquidation of democracy the world can’t afford.

arricades of automobile tires and sandbags demarcate pathways across Kyiv’s Independence Square, towering rubble serve as a reminder that Ukraine’s revolution has yet to complete its rotation of power.

Neel Mandavilli I carefully skirt around boxes of Contributing Columnist unused Molotov cock ta i ls a nd piles of unearthed bricks as I walk alongside Pavlov Bondarenko, an economics student at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.

“I stayed up for over four days at one point,” Bondarenko confessed with a grin, the content of this conventional undergraduate revelation not nearly as revealing as its context.

Bondarenko was among the many students who stormed Independence Square in November 2013, their collective actions triggering the Euromaidan protests eventually leading to the ousting of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.

While many Ukrainians contributed to the Euromaidan through financial provisions and crucial behindthe-scenes work, 19-year-old Pavlov positioned himself on the protest frontlines, heaving tires between barricade assembly lines and carrying those injured in clashes with riot police to safety. It was the resolution of young protestors like Pavlov that inspired countless Ukrainians to ac-

tion, uniting many who had been dissuaded from political mobilization by the historical precedents of former failed revolutions.

“When you are young… you think you can change the world,” said Yuriy Vitrenko, Managing Director at Ukrainian advisory firm AYA Capital. Vitrenko’s company provided financial support to university groups spearheading the initial 2013 protests, lending fax machines and tablets to aid students in their organizational efforts.

Vitrenko, a former consultant and advisor at PricewaterhouseCoopers and Merril Lynch, eventually took to Kyiv’s streets to protest. He said his decision to participate was

fueled by the determination of Ukraine’s younger generation, who he said, “show[ed] by their example that they were not afraid.”

For many demonstrators, the very act of engaging in demonstrations alongside thousands of fellow Ukrainians evoked the fearlessness that led Kyiv’s protests to reach peaks of 800,000 participants. “At first you start filming it on your phone. Then you start taking pictures of yourself, like doing selfies. And only then you understand that maybe it is really dangerous,” said Vitrenko.

Da nger, however, was not enough to deter Pavlov from the revolution’s fore-

front. He points upward as we walk, motioning to a set of cathedral bells, recalling their ringing to awake sleeping protestors to the first waves of Berkut—the now dissolved Ukrainian special police, infamous for their police brutality. I am loosely reminded of Paul Revere’s midnight ride, and the tendons of historical importance attach themselves to our conversation.

As the two of us, Ukrainian and American, reach the edge of the seemingly appropriately named Independence Square, I wonder what I would have done in Pavlov’s position. Revolution is easy to romanticize, and difficult to fully grasp without expe-

riencing the full weight of a people’s disagreement with their government.

In the United States, we are fortunate to have a regular, peaceful exchange of presidential power. Our favorable circumstances, however, cultivate an unfavorable complacency toward our civic and political responsibilities. As students such as Pavlov risk their lives to fight political corruption, we must question how we prioritize our own demands as students. If we must lose sleep, let it not be over this paper’s decision to forego its yearly comical edition.

Students concentrate on global health in rural Ecuador Paula Gordon Bienvenidos Editor

In the soft morning light, they climbed into charter buses, lugging their medical supplies.

The one-way dirt road stretched off into the jungle ahead of the buses that carried the students and staff from their hotel by the Napo River to their clinic site location for the day. 40 minutes of painstakingly slow driving through dense forest led them past small shacks and the homes of the people who would walk hours to see the team for medical care.

The Alternative Service Break group, in partnership with Timmy Global Health and a team of medical professionals, worked in rotating daily clinics to provide direct healthcare to rural communities in Ecuador that lacked frequent access.

The participants from N.C. State will be one of many groups that provide monthly clinics to the region through TGH. The team was made up of adviser Justine Hollingshead, 14 students from N.C. State, four paramedics from Cary and three medical providers from Raleigh, including Dr. Julie Kasani, who teaches a global health class at N.C. State.

For Kasani, who practiced medicine at John Hopkins Hospital for 18 years, this trip would be her first experience with direct patient care since 2001.

According to Adam Cully, assistant director of the CSLEPS program, there are currently about 20 trips that students can choose to participate in that cover topics such as social justice, housing, world hunger, poverty, global health, water safety and education. Trips can take place in fall, winter and spring, and can take place within the United States as well as abroad, working to partner with an organization already working within the community.

This was the third ASB trip for Enioluwafe Ojo, a junior in human biology and one of two team leaders. Compared to her experiences working with an environmental team in Costa Rica and another public health team in a more urban city of Ecuador, the trip to Chonta Punta was distinct. It took about five to six hours by bus from the capital city of Quito to get to the Napo province, and each local community they visited

was another hour from where they stayed.

“It was definitely more isolated,” Ojo said.

Thomas Woo, a junior in human biology, found his first night in the jungle the most challenging of the trip.

“I just remember showing up there the first night and thinking ‘oh god, what have I gotten myself into?’ It was like nothing I had ever experienced before here in the States,” said Woo. Despite its challenges, the trip was rewarding for Woo, who said he hopes to go to medical school after he graduates.

“I took away a greater understanding of the health challenges and disparities from an international perspective,” Woo said, noting that the trip also opened his eyes to the health disparities and inequalities in the US. During the day, the only source of relief from the intense heat was the frequent rainstorms, which cleared the heavy air and left behind a fresh, crisp smell.

When the day at the clinic ended in the late afternoon, the team would head back to the hotel, located within sight of the Napo River.

“Sometimes if we had time after clinic, we would go swim,” Ojo said.

What Kasani treasured about the trip was the incredible spirit of the team.

Despite language barriers and long days, the members of the group became tightknit as they worked with one another.

“Because the students were so motivated and enthusiastic, it made it easy for me to be happy even if I felt a little down. Everybody was so upbeat that it was hard to be upset about anything,” Kasani

Arroz con Pollo, ó “rice with chicken,” es un platillo típico de Puerto Rico. También es un programa de radio especial especificamente diseñado para conectarse con la comunidad Latina que está en crecimiento en el área de Raleigh. Diego Cancel y Kairsten Fay, conocidos como DJ Cancel y DJ Candela por sus oyentes, quisieron tocar música de un género que no fuera representado en WKNC. Fay se enamoró con la cultura Hispana en un viaje a Nicaragua con Alternative

Service Break, y ha estado estudiado Español desde entonces. “Me encanta bailar la música salsa, pero también me gusto bachata, pop, y el róck Chicano,” dijo Fay. Cancel nació y creció en Puerto Rico, y da el crédito por su sabor en música a el

reggaetón y la música que tocaron su padre y sus abuelos que son la salsa y las baladas.

Los empleados de WKNC fueron dispuesto a escuchar a la pareja, y empezaron con el entrenamiento para ser DJs este semestre.

Su misión es mantener una transmisión en Español para hispanohablantes en N.C. State y en el Triángulo, cambiando entre una variedad de géneros y países para su programa.

Alumna writes book about Zelda Fitzgerald Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald Therese Anne Fowler

 Chelsey Winstead Staff Writer

N.C. State alumna and author Therese Anne Fowler brings the life and scandal of the infamous Fitzgeralds back into the limelight in Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald.

While much attention is given to Francis Scott Fitzgerald, author of the classic Tender is the Night and the famous The Great Gatsby, few know about the woman standing behind him.

Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald was born on a southern plantation in Montgomery, Ala., and was raised to be a true southern belle. The only problem was her lack of interest in proper southern society and her increasing interest in the numerous suitors she graced with her attention.

In her novel, Fowler does an excellent job of revealing the true identity of Zelda’s young romance with the Yankee military recruit Fitzgerald.

Going against her family’s wishes, Zelda is caught up in a whirlwind of love and promise from her aspiring author lover who had big dreams of becoming published in New York. The tone echoes the lofty dreams and youthful innocence of young Zelda in the early stages of love and marriage to F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Fowler does not fall short in detailing the couple’s days in

bed and nights on the town.

The 1920’s offered dancing, luxury and booze to the dreamy duo, as well as a few documented acts of frivolity that cemented their reputation as the perfect party pair.

With the carefree life of riches came a time of hardship and seriousness in their marriage. Francis and Zelda were both young when they exchanged vows, so when the realness of marriage and life began to catch up to the cou-

“The romantisized, shiny life of the Jazz Age is tarnished in Flowler’s

fictionalized biography.” ple, Zelda saw the true colors of her husband. Instead of leaning on his young wife for support, Francis turned to the liquor cabinet and desperately tried to find happiness and inspiration at the bottom of the bottles.

Again, Fowler does not shy away from the stumbling steps that would ultimately lead to the downfall of Zelda and Francis. She also goes behind the curtain to break down the façade of perfection built up by the Fitzgeralds. Francis’ struggle with alcohol and irresponsibility with finances often pushed

Zelda to the breaking point and left her questioning the decisions that led to the life she was living.

The relationships that inf luenced the Fitzgeralds and their time in France are also included in the historical novel. Using her as the first person narrator, Fowler lets Zelda share her feelings about her husband’s relationship with the offensive and drunken Ernest Hemingway and her disdain for her husband’s actions when he is under the influence.

Fowler does not soften the pressures felt by the couple when F. Scott was not writing or the jealousy problems presented when Zelda picked up the pen and paper and found success in a few short stories. Instead, Fowler takes the reader on the emotional roller coaster felt by the broken narrator as she watched her life, her husband and herself begin to fall apart.

Zelda’s troubled mental state is also addressed in the novel, but rather than taking on the omniscient third person narrator, Fowler allows the confused and anxious Zelda to tell her story of being locked away and treated for trying to follow dreams which were restricted by her husband. As Zelda’s mental state deteriorates, so does the coherence of the story.

The romanticized, shiny life of the Jazz Age is tarnished in Fowler’s fictionalized biography. Though there are times the reader must slog through another drunken episode with Mr. Fitzgerald

The Ninja Challenge comes to Fuquay-Varina to raise money Joseph Havey Staff Writer

N.C. State students can express their inner ninja this June in an obstacle course that covers three miles, swinging ropes, monkey bars

and 16-foot-high walls.

With events such as the Krispy Kreme Challenge, a five-mile race during which runners must down a dozen donuts, and the Polar Plunge, a mid-February sprint into icy Lake Raleigh, quirky races are nothing new to Raleigh.

The Ninja Challenge, which will take place on June 7 in Fuquay-Varina, N.C., may be just the thing for students looking to participate in another race slightly outside the norm.

and electrical engineering graduate, his brother Mike Wei, a 2008 UNC-Chapel Hill graduate, and Tad Anderson, a 2009 Duke alum, the Ninja Challenge benefits the Red Cross and the Triangle Aquatic Center in Raleigh. The trio started the race to honor the memory of their friend Karl Besas, who died in a drowning accident in 2010.

“After the Red Cross helped so much in the search and rescue effort after the accident, we wanted to find a way to raise money for them,” Mike Wei said. “We also wanted to donate to TAC because they teach swim safety.”

The donations to the TAC fund the nonprofit organization’s Make a Splash program, which helps teach underprivileged children how to swim.

“Part of TAC’s mission is to promote water safety,” said Bry ttany Curran, a member of TAC’s executive board. “We are almost entirely funded through donations, and without something like the Ninja Challenge, we would really struggle.”

In the two years since the Ninja Challenge’s first race, the Red Cross and TAC have

together received $30,000, Mike Wei said. Last year, the group was able to double the funding for the Make a Splash program.

“Because of their donations, we now have one of the largest Make a Splash chapters in the country,” Curran said.

The Ninja Challenge event is open to anyone ages 14 or

older. Even though the average age is 30, participants have reached upward of 70 years old in previous races, according to Mike Wei. “We’ve got a lot of families that come out and do this race, like a father-son thing or a father-daughter thing,” Wei said.

Many of the obstacles are based on the show Ninja Warrior, a Japanese reality show in which participants must complete extremely challenging obstacle courses that require immense feats of physical strength.

“Obviously, though, that’s not ideal for large groups of people,” Mike Wei said. “Our version is easier, but we do name some of the challenges after this show. We call the monkey bars ‘Hanging Assassins.’”

Even though it’s not as tough as Ninja Warrior, the Ninja Challenge is hard enough to take each participant somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes to complete.

Racers must sprint across planks placed in water, climb over walls, tip-toe across a narrow ledge and balance on wooden beams. After racing, participants can enjoy food, beer, martial arts vendors and additional physical challenges--that is, if they’re not already too exhausted.

“The vendor area is the most fun for me,” Mike Wei said. “Everyone is together with the music, watching the martial arts vendors and having a good time. The race is very spectator friendly, so we end up having more people in the vendor area than racers.”

There will also be two costume contests during the day.

“People get very into dressing up,” Wei said.

Currently, the race costs $10 to spectate and $50 to participate in. Wei said anyone interested in racing should register at theninjachallenge.com. The entry fee will increase incrementally as the race nears.

Club sports spotlight: Women’s Lacrosse The members of the club women’s lacrosse team are in the full swing of things as their season continues.

They are fulfilling two objectives in the process--working hard in the Mid-Atlantic Women’s Lacrosse League and have a great time while doing it.

The club has contests in both regular season games and tournament play. It competes in as many tournaments and games as it can trying to get as many wins as possible.

The club makes sure to have fun as it plays each game. Club president Amanda Gentry, a senior in fashion and textile management, helps to organize everything for the club.

“We have both tournament and regular season play,” Gentry said.

“Teams are invited by the host school to participate in the tournaments where we play between three to five games over a weekend. We usually go to one tournament each semester.”

Like many teams at the club level, the Wolfpack competes against a host of different teams in North Carolina and all over the East Coast.

“We play schools from New Jersey to North Carolina,” Gentry said.

“We are required to play all of the schools in our region, like UNC, ECU and Duke, but also get to play schools in Virginia and Maryland.”

The club is competing well as the season progresses and kept that up in its last game against Elon in which the Wolfpack came away with a win. Kaitlyn Puka, a sophomore

Wolfpack outguns Musketeers Zack Tanner Assistant Sports Editor

Led by another monster performance from sophomore forward T.J. Warren, 12th-seeded N.C. State won its first-round NCAA Tournament game against fellow No. 12 Xavier,74-59, in Dayton, Ohio. Warren scored a game-high 25 points, his 30th 20-point game of the season. The Durham native also broke the N.C. State school record for points in a single season, boosting his season total to 843.

The previous record was 838, held by former Wolfpack great David Thompson.

Despite Warren’s huge night, it was State’s supporting cast that paced the Pack. Junior guard Ralston Turner poured in 17 points and freshman forward Kyle Washington made an instant impact by netting six of the Pack’s first nine points, highlighted by a fast-break dunk. Washington also

grabbed five rebounds.

Making an early exit after picking up two quick fouls in the first five minutes of play, Warren failed to score a point for more than eight minutes. By that time, State led 1412. With Warren back on the floor, State hit its stride, going on a 10-2 run to extend its margin to 10 with 9:06 left in the first half.

But Xavier would not go away quietly as the Musketeers answered with a 12-3 run of their own to cut State’s lead to one. During the stretch, Xavier’s leading scorer, sophomore guard Semaj Christon, sank six of his eight first-half points.

However, the Pack did a good job putting pressure on Christon in the opening period, forcing the guard into five turnovers and two personal fouls. Christon finished the game with 14 points.

The Pack ended the first half in style as senior center Jordan Vandenberg converted an old-fashioned three-point play on a hook shot to

put State up 34-28 entering the locker room. At the half, eight of the nine Wolfpack players who saw action had scored, a rare feat for a team with one player who usually dominates the scoring.

After losing Washington to foul trouble in just 30 seconds, the Pack saw its lead shrink to two as the Musketeers came out of the break guns blazing. Christon’s layup brought Xavier to 39-37 at the 16:03 mark.

Assists played a big part in the Musketeers’ early success, as each of the team’s first four buckets came off a dish from a teammate. This was in contrast to the first half when Xavier only recorded one assist.

Warren took it upon himself to answer for the Pack, scoring six points in a span of 67 seconds to help State stretch its lead to nine with 11:06 left in the contest.

After a rare jump shot from Vandenberg, the Pack took a 12-point lead with just over five minutes

remaining in the contest. On the next possession, the Musketeers implemented a full-court press in an attempt to stop the Pack’s momentum. But Vandenberg answered the bell with a thunderous dunk off a slick pass from sophomore guard Tyler Lewis to keep Xavier out of striking distance.

Lewis improved on his incredible 4.03 assist-to-turnover ratio by dishing out eight dimes with only one turnover. He finished with more assists than the entire Xavier team.

The Pack was able to ride its momentum through the remainder of the game, outscoring the Musketeers 14-8 in the final five minutes en route to the 15-point victory. It was State’s first win by a margin that large since defeating Wake Forest on Feb. 11.

Following the victory, State will travel to Orlando, Fla., to face fifthseeded Saint Louis (26-6) in the NCAA Tournament’s second round on Thursday night.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “It’s a great group of girls, so it’s also a fun athletic outlet which helps me deal with all the stress of school work.”

Atlantic Division 1. No. 2 Florida State (17-2, 5-1) - The Seminoles solidified themselves as the No. 2 team in the nation after sweeping N.C. State. The three-game sweep extended FSU’s win streak to six games, during which it has averaged just shy of 10 runs per game. Florida State is averaging an astounding 8.84 runs per game.

2. No. 10 N.C. State (14-5, 3-3) - Despite coming up empty after a trip to FSU, the Wolfpack remains a strong contender in the ACC. State boasts the two best hitters in the conference - freshman infielder Andrew Knizner (.448) and junior outfielder Brett Austin (.391) - and a solid pitching rotation.

3. No. 13 Clemson (12-6, 5-1) - Following a four-game losing streak in which the team gave up an average of 10.5 runs per game, the Tigers rebounded by winning six of their last seven. Clemson

will be tested on Friday against redhot Florida State 4. Wake Forest (13-8, 3-3) - So far, the Demon Deacons have been who everyone thought they would be: a middle-of-the-road team. Wake has earned a few solid wins in the conference, taking two of three from Georgia Tech.

5. Maryland (11-6, 2-4) - The Terrapins have been spotty all season, defeating Florida State, 5-1, one night and losing to the Seminoles by 12 the next night. While Maryland may be a dangerous team, the team’s lack of consistency hurts its standing in the rankings.

6. Notre Dame (6-12, 0-6) - The Irish have lost six of its last seven contests, while sporting ACC-worsts in batting average (.234), slugging percentage (.316) and on-base percentage (.322). However, Notre Dame’s one win did come against a feisty Appalachian State team.

7. Boston College (6-12, 0-6) - The Eagles are by far the coldest team in the ACC, having lost nine straight while scoring a conference-low 3.34 runs per game. Boston College will begin a 13-game homestand on Friday.

Coastal Division

1. No. 3 Virginia (15-3, 5-1) - The Cavaliers have dominated the early season with only three close losses.

Virginia’s bullpen boasts the fewest earned runs per game (2.03), hits allowed (110), runs allowed (39), and walks allowed (48) in the ACC. Sophomore left-hander Nathan Kirby (5-0, 0.59 ERA) leads the team with only two earned runs in 30.2 innings.

2. Duke (12-8, 4-2) - The Blue Devils have been the biggest surprise of the ACC thus far, showing that they can keep up with the rest of the teams. After going toe-to-toe with Virginia in a 2-1 series defeat, Duke won four straight, including a three-game sweep of Notre Dame.

3. No. 17 UNC-Chapel Hill (145, 4-2) - The Tar Heels have started somewhat slowly after their trip to Omaha last year. Despite its explosive offense, UNC is showing inconsistencies in game performance.

However, if North Carolina can straighten itself out before the meat of the season, it will be a menacing opponent for any team in the ACC. 4. Georgia Tech (11-8, 3-3) - Nothing extraordinary stands out for this Yellow Jacket team, as they sit 3-3 in the Coastal Division. Tech

faces eight road games in its next nine matchups and has yet to win on the road this season. Tech had a series win against Miami, boosting its ranking in the Coastal Division.

5. No. 25 Miami (11-9, 4-2) - The Hurricanes have lost four of their last five games to land fifth in the Coastal, including two against Georgia Tech, and lead the ACC with 33 errors. Miami faces another challenge as Virginia visits this weekend.

6. Virginia Tech (9-8-1, 3-3) - Following a brutal series against Clemson, the Hokies came back strong by sweeping Pittsburgh. However, Virginia Tech needs to work on keeping its opponents off the board, as the team allows an ACC-high earned run average of 5.88.

7. Pittsburgh (7-10, 1-5) - A slew of high-scoring games has left Pitt with the highest opposing batting average (.312) and most hits allowed (190) throughout the ACC. The Panthers were swept in a three-game series at Virginia Tech. One bright spot was a 6-4 upset of UNC earlier this season.
