As the leaves change color and the State Fair comes around, we herald in the be-ginning of Fall, as well as Na-tional Cyber Security Aware-ness Month.
According to the Depart-ment of Homeland Secu-rity, National Cyber Security Awareness Month was started in 2004 in order to educate the public and create more aware-ness about the dangers of the Internet and cyberspace in general.
The month was founded by multiple organizations and governmental institutions at a time when Sept. 11 was only a few years past and there was a need to prepare for possible threats in areas previously overlooked, according to the National Cyber Security Al-liance.
The month deals not only with national security but with personal security.
“Criminals can use the Inter-net to commit fraud and theft on a grand scale and to prey upon our children,” accord-ing to the FBI.

Textile engineering freshman Katheryn Smith plays her drum while industrial engineering freshman Brittany Pickler plays her flute outside Turlington Hall, Monday. Smith’s drum, called a Djembe, was hand-carved in Africa and made with real goatskin. Smith has played the Djembe for eight years and Pickler has played the flute for seven years.
“It was a beautiful day so I texted [Pickler] and said, ‘Do you want to make beautiful music?’” Smith said.

stalking, cyber stalking and body image. We teach on cam-pus,” Lomelino said.
Lomelino said The Move-ment gives a student voice to the issues, and is a good depar-ture from having only faculty reach out to students regarding domestic violence issues.
“The Women’s Center is run by faculty,” Lomelino said. “I think the Women’s Center realizes the student voice can be powerful. They started this program so we can discuss with our peers as opposed to someone lecturing them. We have conversations about this
kind of stuff. I think it’s very important for students to see people their age talking about these kinds of issues.”
Ava Britt, a junior in po-litical science, is a Kappa Delta mem-ber and came out to sup-port Mitchell-Bridgeman. She said she knows peo-ple who had been person-ally affected by domestic violence, though.
“You wouldn’t expect people to have been affected by do-mestic violence, but I do know people who have. It is close
to my heart, and it’s close to them, too. There are people who know people [who have been affected], but they just
don’t know. It’s just not something that people our age usu-a l l y t a l k about,” Britt said.
Brit t sa id making October a n aw a re -ness month is good for spreading
the word.“I feel like domestic violence
is something that tends to get ignored. It has a month to itself, but it’s not something that we
really talk about because it is taboo. I think it’s important to spread the word that it’s not just man-woman relationships — it’s all types of relation-ships. We need to make sure that other people are aware of it and that they know they can help stop it,” Britt said.
The event coincided with Kappa Delta’s philanthropy efforts, according to member
and sophomore in textile tech-nology Hilary Walker.
“We raise money for prevent-ing child abuse in America. We always try to help our sisters out with community service whenever it’s taking place on campus,” Walker said. “Since we are women, it really means a lot to be there for each other. It seems like the right thing to do.”
According to the North Car-olina Department of Adminis-tration, a total of 5,361 domes-tic violence cases were reported across the state. Of those, 845 were in Wake County, which topped the list on a by-county basis.
Mecklenburg County, home of Charlotte, had the second most reported cases with 582.

Officials release crime data for UniversityStudents mostly concerned about drug, alcohol violations.
John WallNews Editor
As mandated by the federal government, the Di-vision of Environmental Health and Public Safety released an aggregated campus crime data set for the 2010 academic year.
Deputy Chief of Campus Police Jon Barnwell sent an email containing the information to all students. The report covers the 2007-10 school years. Although N.C. State averaged crime rates far below those of North Carolina cities, students were most concerned with the fluctuation in on-campus alcohol and drug-related offenses.
The federal law that stipulates crime data must be released is called the Jeanne Clery Disclo-sure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, or Clery Act. This act requires campuses to disclose informa-tion on drug and alcohol offenses.
Campus judicial action nearly tripled for drug-related offenses between 2007 and 2010, while alcohol-related offenses were nearly cut in half, according to the report.
Eric Tomins, a freshman in administration, lives in Owen residence hall. He said he knew of people on his hall who were caught drinking late at night by a resident assistant.
“I don’t know of anyone who got in trouble for weed, but a bunch of kids got busted for drinking. It was late at night and they had the music up re-ally loud. They had their window open like idiots and the R.A. just walked outside and saw them,” Tomins said.
Besides those who got caught in Owen, Tomins said he also has a friend who got caught drinking on campus.
“My friend, who lives in Avent Ferry Complex, was drinking downtown one night. When he got back, he was busted for being drunk on campus,” Tomins said.
His friend had to complete an alcohol course, as well as write a three-page paper for the University.
“He has to go and prove he learned his lesson,” Tomins said.
Students caught drinking are referred to the Office of Student Conduct and its director Paul Cousins. He sits down on a one-to-one basis with those accused and goes over academic standing and previous conduct problems if any exist. Cous-ins demands students write a paper to state what they did wrong and how they will aim to prevent it from happening again.
Student Conduct also refers students who violate alcohol and drug rules to the on-campus Al-coholEdu director. He runs the alcohol education class which Tomins referred to.
Joel Stiling, a sophomore in political science, said he agrees with the way the University handles drug violations.
“I’m anti-drugs, period, but I believe [campus citations are] a necessary step for overcoming their addictions. People in those situations tend to have a psycho-logical draw toward drugs,” Stil-ing said.
Stiling has a friend who was caught with marijuana on cam-pus and evicted from his dorm. His friend’s roommate had also
been kicked out of his dormitory about a month before.
“I know that he knows he made a poor decision, and I think he has learned from it. He seems like he is a better person because of it,” Stiling said.
The FBI does not keep track of city-by-city drug and alcohol violations, so therefore N.C. State’s numbers cannot be compared with those of neigh-boring cities.
also said that the University has been doing a good job of embracing sustainability in the past few years.
“We saw an opportunity to bring a larger awareness to sustainability with this event,” Tinkler said.
Tinkler said that he hopes to see the Net Impact organi-zation grow more in the un-dergraduate level. Part of this
event is getting the word out about the organization to as many students as possible.
Tinkler and Mendel both said that they want this event to help students look at sustain-ability from a business perspec-tive rather than from a strictly environmental one.
“It really builds a bigger pic-ture to look at all of this as a business. We hope to bring a larger awareness of what the business opportunities are,” Tinkler said.

A university is a collection of ideas—a repository of learning. Its educa-
tional freedom empowers and precepts are boundless.
A nd wh i le t he g ra nd thoughts need no walls, the thinkers who produce them tend to enjoy the comforts of a campus.
T h u s , i t seems a uni-versity is not only teachers, pupi l s a nd
their ideas, it’s also the neigh-borhood they form.
At N.C. State, the adminis-trators and University leaders have devised a grand plan for how this tapestry of neighbor-hoods should look. It’s called the Physical Master Plan and was last reshaped in 2007—right before the economic col-lapse of 2008, if you’re keeping score from home.
It’s wonderfully bold and paints an incredible picture for what the University could be. In the plan, which is avail-able on the University Plan-ning and Analysis Website, the Board of Trustees approved an architecture composed of open and character-defining spac-es. The simple difference: an open space is a path—to you, bricks—and character spaces are patches of more bricks—the Brickyard, for example.
There’s a theme here, in case you couldn’t tell. But to the credit of the University’s vari-ous planning committees, it does have many interesting attributes and functional ele-ments.
What’s the problem then, you might be asking yourself? I thought you just said this plan is fairly unassailable?
It is, but there’s one fairly ob-vious deficiency here. Remem-ber what I said about when it was revised? If you didn’t you might want to reassess why you can’t remember some-thing from three paragraphs ago. Regardless, the state—the University’s primary benefac-tor—and the University, in
particular, have lost quite a bit of financial footing in the last four years.
It seems unlikely that many of the cosmetic additions and less essential future con-struction will become reality. Take the rapid-transit system proposed by the plan, for in-stance—a monorail or similar technology would be incredible for moving large numbers of students to and from the Uni-versity’s two primary cam-puses. In fact, if the University continues toward its projected growth target of 40,000 stu-dents, it might become totally necessary for such a solution to facilitate inter-campus transit.
It’s a funny example, but it does highlight the problem the master plan faces as it moves into its period of fruition. We’ve designed enrollment targets based on a campus with inter-connected walkways, an efficient bus system and a mass-transit people mover. The campus we’ll receive may look nothing like that.
It’s a matrix with only two real solutions: the University must either show a real com-mitment to its infrastructure or alter enrollment targets.
The unfortunate reality is that the actual solution will likely be neither. Replacing lost revenue from the state may, in part, necessitate enrollment in-creases, but the political capi-tal for the essential upgrades to the campus is likely moot given the state of the economy.
The logical person, then, will wonder what this expansion by contraction might mean to the value of his or her sheepskin and the future of N.C. State. With the path the University is on, it doesn’t look pretty.
Look forward to more dis-tance education classes, un-bearable campus transit and crowded classrooms. Campus beautification may have taken quite a few strides in the past few years, but it’s all for not if we can’t come together to solve these fundamental lo-gistical issues. We’ve got work ahead—perhaps, just a little bit of planning.

On Sunday, a Student Senate sub-committee debated on and de-
cided to recommend conser-vative increases in fees. For all but one department, the sub-committee recommended less than what the departments re-quested.
Student Senate considered the sub-committee’s recom-mendations yesterday night, and this will factor into the fee review committee’s deci-sion when they meet tomor-row. The fee review committee, along with the Chancellor, will both wield the most influence over the Board of Governors’ eventual decision.
As this committee holds the most power regarding this decision, the nine individuals who comprise it should uphold the conservative recommenda-tions made so far and ensure
these increases benefit the N.C. State population as a whole, not merely certain groups.
The Student Senate sub-committee recommended a reduced increase for the athlet-ics department. The commit-tee considered that teams may need more funding to increase their wins rate, but decided that the requested increase was too high. This recommenda-tion should be upheld by the fee review committee, because it is an acceptable compromise.
For Student Health, the sub-committee recommended an increase per student of $3 less than had been recommended. Largely because of a generous fee increase the previous year, it was considered that a lesser
increase this year was not un-reasonable. Student Health, however, does serve the ma-jority of the general student population, while athletics is geared more toward a particu-lar group. The review commit-tee may want to consider this in making their decision.
University recreation was the only service to receive a rec-ommendation for the same amount as they requested. Union Activities Board re-ceived a recommendation of no increased funding, and Student Centers was granted much less than they had re-quested.
The trend among the recom-mendations to these organi-zations is necessity, not want.
The sub-committee clearly operated on this principle and chose to deny increases to cover certain requests they believed were unnecessary. When mon-ey is tight, necessity is needed. Every organization and service could use a little extra cash, but not every department needs the fee increase.
During the fee review com-mittee meeting tomorrow, the nine committee members should honor the recommen-dations made by these commit-tees and grant only necessary fee increases. The committee should favor organizations and services which benefit the ma-jority of the general student population, and abstain from any unnecessary recommenda-tions.
The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board, excluding the news department, and is the
responsibility of the editor-in-chief.
Maintain necessity over wantThe FacTs:A Student Senate sub-committee made recommendations to increase fees for fee-funded campus services on Sunday. Tomorrow, a fee review committee will meet to decide which recommendations to present to Chancellor Woodson.
Our OpiniOn:The fee review committee should continue to consider how these increases will help the overall student population at N.C. State, and should not allow superfluous fee increases.

Parking pass system needs improvement
I know one thing every col lege student can agree on: college stu-
dents love sleep. I, person-ally, am deeply in love with
sleep. I love to go on nice, long eight hour dates with sleep every night, and I r e a l l y, really hate i t w h e n something disrupts
my beloved dates.Most of the time, the
thing that tends to cut my dates an hour or two short is the N.C. State football park-ing pass distribution.
Now, don’t get me wrong. Parking passes for our foot-ball games are an excellent measure. I am glad we have a student lot and tailgating. Our parking pass distribu-tion, however, warrants im-provement.
Everyone knows that get-ting up early in the middle of the school week is beyond difficult. Students were like-ly up late the night before doing homework and still trying to catch up from the lack of sleep they failed to get over the weekend.
Plus, if a student lives off campus, they have to drive to campus, which tacks on another 15-30 minutes to their morning routine. As
everyone knows, these precious minutes of sleep matter. If they didn’t, why would there be a snooze button on alarms?
Parking pass distribution for football games is always the Wednesday before the game, starting at 9 a.m. That hour doesn’t sound too bad, but when one factors in the minutes spent waiting in line, the hour becomes earlier and earlier.
If you don’t get to Reynold’s Coliseum by 8 a.m., you risk waiting in l ine for more than an hour. I have found t hat if you get to Reynold’s by 8 a.m., you end up wait-ing in line for an hour and 15 minutes. If you get to Reynold’s at 9 a.m., the wait time becomes a whop-ping 2 hours due to the number of people in line.
Many students have 10:15 classes, so getting to Reyn-old’s by 8 a.m. cuts out about 2 hours of much-needed sleep. The worst part is, this is an un-necessary loss of sleep because there is an easy fix.
A new system for parking dis-tribution should be created in order to make it easier and less tiring to acquire a parking pass for football games.
An online parking pass dis-
tribution would suit more students’ sleeping patterns. When students sign up for tickets, they should have the option to sign up for a parking pass. The parking passes should be given out based on loyalty just as the football tickets are.
The parking passes should then be printed out. Instead of hanging them from the rearview mirror, they could be placed on the dash-
board of students’ cars. And, instead of tearing off t he bot-tom of the pass, the student parking lot attendants could tear off a cor-ner of the
parking pass or make some sort of mark on the pass.
These measures would make the parking pass dis-tribution system more effi-cient and greatly benefit stu-dents. Help students sleep; change the parking pass distribution system.

University actors face challenge on stageCast and crew of The Philadelphia Story discuss challenges of producing ‘30s play.
Young LeeStaff Writer
University Theatre started the sea-son off with a comedy classic, present-ing audiences with The Philadelphia Story, a 1930s play written by Philip Barry filled with word-play rarely seen in modern productions. Proceeding at a slower pace than most modern-day audiences are used to and featur-ing scenes of extensive dialogue, The Philadelphia Story provided a witty start to the season.
Despite these obstacles, the play still resonated with audiences, who filled multiple shows to capacity and thanked the actors and actresses with standing ovations.
“[The Philadelphia Story] is one of the classics of its genre,” said John C. McIlwee, the director of University Theatre. “The 30s comedy of man-ners with a little screwball comedy background to it.”
A story that eased many hearts dur-ing the Great Depression, The Phila-delphia Story is the tale of a young woman, wealthy and attractive, who runs into trouble during her wedding due to the many men vying for her attention and her whimsical attitude.
According to McIlwee, many 1930s plays greatly differ from modern plays. The plays of today do not contain the many double-entendres and subtle implications in dialogue which were prevalent back then. Instead, modern plays tend to be very direct, with char-acters saying exactly what they mean.
However, it is for this reason that McIlwee and others in the University Theatre staff chose to produce the play.
“Our mission is to provide the theat-rical experience for students all across campus,” McIlwee said. “[Productions are] all done by students under the su-pervision of the University Theatre staff, so when we select a season, we se-lect it with an eye to [provide students] with the opportunity to participate in all types, every genre of theatre that is available.”
Although not many students are used to seeing such plays, The Phila-delphia Story remains one of the most acclaimed plays in American history. Many people still know of the story by reputation, though they may not be familiar with its style.
According to McIlwee, Philip Barry, the playwright of The Philadelphia Story wrote the play specifically for Katherine Hepburn, who acted in both the play and film adaptation.
However, this posed a certain chal-lenge for N.C. State’s production of the famous play. For actress Brett Williams, a junior in zoology, this was a special challenge as she played the role previously executed so famously by Katherine Hepburn herself.
“I was nervous at first, because I
didn’t want people thinking that I was trying to be Katherine Hepburn,” Wil-liams said. “It was intimidating at first, and then I kind of just said that ‘I’ll do this my way and not worry about Katherine Hepburn, and go in a com-pletely different direction.’”
Carter Keogh, a sophomore in in-dustrial engineering, was one of the audience members who gave the University Theatre crew a standing ovation during the Friday night per-formance.
“I know that for me, I enjoyed the play on words,” Keogh said. “I thought it was amazing. The students were re-ally good [and I] really enjoyed it.”
Although the season started on a happy note, the light-hearted feel will soon give way to heavier and darker plays.
According to McIlwee, the next play is a Tennessee Williams in celebra-tion of his 100th birthday. This will be followed Little Women, Rent, and The Arabian Nights. All of these works are known for tackling darker and, in some cases, more depressing material.
University Theatre is working to offer a variety of shows this season. However, astute audiences may rec-ognize a theme that runs through the year, even if it was completely unin-tentional.
“It just so happens that this year we picked, quite by accident, three plays that were all movies starring Kather-ine Hepburn,” McIlwee said. “Sheer accident. We had no idea until [the season selection process] was all over. It was months after we had picked the
season and [the University Theatre staff and I] were just sitting there and we all thought, ‘Wait a minute, all these plays have famous movies star-ring Hepburn.’”
Aspiring to be as diverse as the roles Hepburn made famous, University Theatre has already started rehears-als for their next production this past Sunday, right after the last showing of The Philadelphia Story.

The latest game featuring Marvel’s mutants fails to impress in every area.
Jordan AlsaqaArts & Entertainment Editor
The X-Men franchise has enjoyed a great deal of success this year. X-Men: First Class opened to strong critical and commercial success in theaters. The comics line has also seen a great reaction, with the Schism event tearing the team in two.
With so much good will towards the series, it would be understand-able to hope the latest video game to feature Marvel’s mutants would be a home run.
Unfortunately, despite a promising premise and solid combat controls, X-Men: Destiny is a title only hard-core fans of the series will find much to enjoy in.
Developed by Silicon Knights, X-Men: Destiny opens with a peace rally promoting unity between humans and mutants. The scene is soon disrupted by an attack that leaves the entire city in ruins. Suspicion quickly falls on Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mu-tants, with the master of magnetism seen flying around the city.
The game is full of countless X-Men characters, from famous heroes like Wolverine and Gambit to lesser-known mutants such as Surge and Pyro. The first big problem with the game though, is that players never take control of these popular characters.
Instead, players must choose be-tween three original mutants, none of whom rise above stereotypes that are long worn out. There’s a girl aban-doned by her father so she can have a better life, a college football player who is oblivious to the mutant-human conflict until he is pulled into it, and the son of an anti-human activist who is torn between his family and what he is.
Regardless of who players pick, the story sees little change as a result. The main thrust of the narrative follows an investigation into who and what is behind the attack on the rally, with the main character acting only as a sur-rogate for plot points. In this regard, everything remains painfully linear throughout, no matter what choices the player makes.
Even the game’s titular focus on destiny has no real effect on the story. Throughout the game, players make choices between helping the X-Men or the brotherhood of Mutants. This affects a morality bar that goes from
good to evil depending on which choices are made, but this ultimately makes no difference to the story. Aside from one cut scene at the very end, the game plays out the same.
The game’s narrative leaves a lot to be desired, but the gameplay itself is enjoyable enough. Players can choose from three different mutant powers, with projectiles, heavy attacks, and fast attacks all represented. The at-tacks start off simple, but as the game progresses, more and more abilities are unlocked, allowing for a good bit of complexity by the end of the game.
Unfortunately, though the combat system develops at a steady pace, the battles themselves remain the same from the first fight to the final show-down. The game only offers five differ-ent enemy units to battle, so the same tactics that worked early on continue to be effective as the number of en-emies on screen increases.
This is a shame as the more ad-vanced techniques are a lot of fun to use and give a real sense of power. If only these moves were a bit more nec-
essary, they wouldn’t feel like such an afterthought.
While the game lacks variety, it’s also relatively short, and dedicated players can get through it in a day or two of play. Though the title’s brevity would be a letdown in most cases, the repetitive gameplay doesn’t quite out-stay its welcome before the credits roll.
Another blow to the game’s quality comes in the form of the graphics. The title just doesn’t do enough to set itself apart visually, with everything from character models to environments
looking bland and uninspired. Par-ticularly jarring to see is Juggernaut, who’s lack of unity between his mask and head are distracting and bother-some to look at.
Overall, X-Men: Destiny simply has too much working against it to be any-thing more than a weekend rental to fans of the franchise. This late in the console generation, there’s no reason a title this mediocre should be released. Ultimately, this game’s destiny is to find a place in the GameStop bargain bin.
An X-Men game destined to be forgotten

However, this wasn’t a re-hearsal or an audition. It’s one of the dance classes of-fered in the Master Class Se-ries by the N.C. State Dance Program. The woman gliding around the room and leading the class, making sure toes are pointed and posture is aligned, was Megan Marvel — an accomplished ballet dancer, choreographer,and current associate director of Raleigh Dance Theatre.
Instead of seasoned pro-fessionals, Marvel spent the evening teaching N.C. State students. While most have had previous dance training, for many, ballet is more an en-joyable hobby instead of a future career.
Rachel Mc-C l o s k e y, a junior in el-ementary education, wa s d raw n to the event out of a sense of nostalgia. The event was McCloskey’s first time ex-periencing a dance class at N.C. State.
“I really miss dancing in high school,” McCloskey said. “When I received the infor-mation email about the class, I knew this would be a fun opportunity to put my ballet shoes back on. I haven’t done ballet in so long. I missed the barre and working on tech-nique. It’s nice to be back.”
Anja Holzberg, a senior in math and English and an ex-change student from Germany, also found the class as a way to connect to her past.
“I took modern dance classes in Germany,” Holzberg said, “so when I saw that N.C. State was offering this master class series, I immediately signed up for it. I haven’t done ballet in a while, but it was nice to be back at the barre again. I would definitely take the class again if it was offered.”
On the other end of the spectrum is Karsey Long, a sophomore in human biology, who has been taking ballet her whole life and now teaches at a dance studio in Garner.
“I was three when I went to my first ballet class and I’ve been dancing ever since,” Long said. “I studied with Mrs. Mar-
vel in high school so I really want-ed to come and take her class. I love the freedom in ballet and the oppor-tunity to ex-press your-self without words.”
The inter-mediate bal-let class ex-
amined quality of movement and musicality in a traditional ballet structure. It began with basic barre technique, contin-ued with exercises and stretch-es to enhance f lexibility and strength and ended with floor work and movements (such as the waltz) across the room.
Long found the pace of the class allowed her to simply let go and enjoy the evening.
“This class was nice because there was no pressure,” Long said, “and it was a relaxed dance atmosphere. We could
all just dance without any wor-ries of being perfect. If N.C. State offered more classes like this, I would be in here all the time.”
The night proved a relaxing time for both casual and long-term ballet students.
Those interested in the oth-er dance classes in the Master Class Series, such as modern and contemporary dance, can find all they need to know on the N.C. State Dance Program website.

The beta for Battlefield 3 leaves strong impressions on gamers.
Phillip LinStaff Writer
Since its initial reveal earlier this year, EA’s Battlefield 3 has built up much hype and antici-pation from both the press and fans alike. Boasting impressive visuals and top-notch realism, the game will compete directly with Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 this holiday season.
Developer EA Digital Illu-sions CE (DICE) released the public beta for Battlefield 3, allowing players to test out the game.
Ryan Morgan, a junior in me-chanical engineering, played the beta on both the PC and Xbox 360.
“It’s amazing to see the at-tention of detail they built into the game,” Morgan said. “Sound quality is amazing, and it sounds different whether you’re outside in a field or un-derground in the subway.”
The impressive graphics seen in the trailer are present in the game’s beta form, but are scaled back on the console front. On the Xbox 360, the graphics are more comparable to DICE’s previous title, spin-off series Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
“I was able to play for a sec-ond on ultra quality before my computer crashed, Morgan
said, “but the graphics were clean and at a whole new level compared to Bad Company 2.”
In addition to some major graphical improvements, Bat-tlefield 3 also introduces new gameplay features.
Movement is smooth and quick as players vault over ob-stacles and dive into the action. Weapon recoil is prevalent, and helps add to the realism already present in the environment.
Players can also go prone i n B a t t l e -field 3, which makes team-work all the more neces-sary in call-ing out and dealing with well-posi-tioned enemy snipers.
T he be t a a l s o a l -lows players to level up through the initial ranks quickly. Experience points are rewarded generously, allowing participants to level up through the initial ranks at a steady pace and gain access to new equip-ment.
However, the Battlefield 3 beta has experienced some graphica l and gameplay glitches on all its platforms. There are some clipping issues causing players to fall through the ground and get stuck in
foxholes or ditches. The knife melee attack is also experienc-ing glitches, leaving it an unre-liable method of battle.
“All around it seems like a solid game,” Ben Curry, a ju-nior in poultry science, said. “Of course there are some quirks because it’s in beta form, such as holes in the map that you can fall through, but hope-fully they’ll fix it before the fi-nal game is released.”
The ability to aim down t h e i r o n sig hts a l so disappears at times, though this is rem-e d i e d b y switching to one’s sidearm. Odd graphi-cal g l itches have also oc-curred, with bullet traces not d i sap-pearing and remaining stuck in the
air as odd beams of light.Most of the glitches found
are expected from a game in its beta form, and should give DICE some pointers to any wrinkles that need to be ham-mered out for the final product.
“It doesn’t seem like they have bullet gravity in the beta,“ Curry said. “Which was my favorite part in Bad Company 2. Bullets don’t seem to lose height when fired over a long
distance, but I guess maybe the map in the beta is small compared to some of the big-ger maps they promised in the final game.”
The beta features one map and gametype that spans across a three-sectioned area called “Operation Metro.”
In a gametype called “Rush,” the offending team pushes to destroy objective points that the defending team tries to pro-tect. When two objectives are destroyed, the defending team falls back to another section of the map that was previously blocked off.
“Operation Metro” features
a city park complete with ga-zebos and grassy fields where the game begins. The second section showcases an inner city urban environment with over-hanging apartments that can be blown open with the right amount of explosives.
Finally, players can also be ushered into an underground subway system, where they can utilize flashlights to locate and blind enemy players.
Unfortunately, vehicles are only available on the “Caspi-an Border” map, which is on a private server. As such, the majority of beta testers won’t be able to test out the balance
of vehicles.“The beta really showcases
the different types of gameplay that will be available in the fi-nal game, except for vehicles,” Curry said. “Overall, Battlefield 3 is looking to be a solid game that will give Modern Warfare 3 a run for its money.”
Those excited for another entry in the long-running se-ries won’t have long to wait. EA DICE’s Battlefield 3 will be released later this month on Oct. 25.

marching band
The versatility of the marching band ensures entertainment for all ages.
Allyssa PearsonStaff Writer
“Daring to be different” is the motto of the march-ing band, a mantra they’ve managed to live up to. One can witness just how dif-ferent they are in a single football game.
Aside from just the tra-ditional college themes, the band also incorporates popular songs and classics into their lineup,including both new music and clas-sics. They have been known to play Jimmy Buffet, Kenny Chesney, Ke$ha and Pink, and are planning upcoming shows featuring Queen, El-vis and Sinatra.
“One of the things that we try to do with our march-ing band is switch it up,” band director Paul Garcia said. “I don’t want us to be pigeonholed as a set style of group on a consistent basis. Instead, what I’d like for people to do is recognize that we do different styles constantly.
“We are constantly chang-ing things up and bringing something fresh. Probably the one thing that I would want them to recognize consistently is the fact that we are entertaining and we’re just a very high energy group.”
To gain a little more ap-preciation for the march-ing band, take a second to imagine a football game without them. Without the fight song, the catchy tunes from the stands, and especially the halftime en-tertainment, football would be a lot less spirited. Danc-ing to “Jump on it” or the “Cupid Shuffle” is definitely part of the fun of football games.
Joseph Moyer, a senior in business administration
and drum major, recognizes that the band plays an impor-tant role in college football.
“It’s our job to get [the crowd] excited and ready to go for the game,” Moyer said.
Adding to their list of impres-sive feats, “The Power Sound of the South” memorizes their music, allowing them to per-form ever y show effort-l e s s l y a nd with conf i-dence.
A le x A l-b r i g h t , a sophomore i n a n i m a l science and member of color guard, said that this year the band seems to be getting more rec-ognition, especially from fans at football games.
“[I like] pregame,” Albright said. “That’s what gets the crowd fired up the most. Most people don’t really pay atten-tion to half time, even though I wish they did because we do
some pretty interesting stuff there as well.”
Although most people as-sociate the marching band with athletics, in all actuality, the band represents the entire university. Apart from sport-ing events, the band has had the opportunity to play for Presi-dent Obama, the Boys & Girls
Club of Ra-leigh, and two years ago they played in the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Dubl in, Ireland.
In late Oc-tob e r, t he band will be play ing for the Flight of Honor. I n
short, the Flight of Honor flies veterans to Washington D.C. to see the World War II monu-ments that were created in their honor. When they return back from their trip, they will ar-rive to a hero’s welcome, and the N.C. State marching band will be there helping to make
that possible.“[It’s an] opportunity to
say thank you and ‘welcome back,’” Garcia said. “That way they understand that we have a true appreciation for what they gave us.”
Judging from the wide range of music and events that they play, one thing is clear: the marching band can do it all.
Their versatility allows them to have some fun with their music, and it opens up a lot of great opportunities.
They never fail to reveal something innovative to sur-prise their audience, whoever it may be. Regardless of whether you are 13 or 70, you can count on them to play something that you will likely enjoy.
From Queen to Gaga, band does it all

A look at the previous weekend’s ACC football performances
Matt Hayes Staff Writer
Clemson and Georgia Tech have estab-
lished themselves as teams to beat in the ACC after both won convincingly over the weekend. Early-season favorites Florida State and Virginia Tech now face an uphill battle to make the ACC Cham-pionship, while Wake Forest has surprised

many with a 2-0 start in conference play. The ACC also impressed in non-conference play, going undefeated for the first time this season.
1. #8 Clemson (5-0, 2-0 aCC; Last Week: 1) – The Tigers have shown that they can compete with anyone in the country, at home and away. Saturday’s 23-3 win over Virginia Tech was the first road test of the season for Clemson, and they answered the call. The defense excelled, forcing two turnovers and allowing only 258 yards, while Tajh Boyd continued his stellar sophomore campaign. (10/8 vs. Boston College)
2. #13 Georgia tech (5-0, 2-0 aCC; LW: 3) – Whoever said that the option is dead obviously hasn’t watched Georgia Tech. The yellow Jackets continued
their dominance on the ground, finishing just south of 300 yards in a 45-35 win over N.C. State. However, weaknesses were exposed in the defense and the passing game. The question moving forward is whether or not the running game will be able to cover up the miscues made on the other side of the ball. (10/8 vs. Maryland)
3. #21 Virginia tech (4-1, 0-1 aCC; LW: 2) – The Hokies’ offense fell flat in their first real test of the season, doing the defense no favors en route to a disappointing loss to Clemson. The running game put up its usual solid numbers, but Logan Thomas continues to go through growing pains that make Hokie fans everywhere yearn for the days of Tyrod Taylor. (10/8 vs. Miami)
4. #23 Florida state (2-2, 0-1 aCC; LW: 4) – The Seminoles’ bye week could not have come at a better time, as the team is battered after two straight losses. All signs point to a return for E.J. Manuel next week, which should give Florida State’s offense some stability. (10/8 @ Wake Forest)
5. North Carolina (4-1, 1-1 aCC; LW: 5) – A trip to East Carolina could have resulted in a devastating upset, but the Tar Heels answered the call and put the Pirates away in convincing fashion. Bryn renner
continues to shine, passing for four touchdowns, while Giovani Bernard had another big day, racking up 146 yards on the ground. The balance of the young offense has been vital to Carolina’s fast start. (10/8 vs. Louisville)
6. Wake Forest (3-1, 2-0 aCC; LW: 6) – After a 27-19 road win in blustery Chestnut Hill, the Demon Deacons find themselves tied with Clemson atop the Atlantic Division. Wake Forest’s ability to close out games has been the difference thus far and could be the difference moving forward. (10/8 vs. #23 Florida State)
7. Maryland (2-2, 1-0 aCC; LW: 8) – Maryland has been unimpressive since their win over Miami to open the season and now looks like a borderline bowl team. A shaky win over Towson did little to restore faith in College Park (10/8 @ #13 Georgia Tech)
8. Miami (2-2, 0-1 aCC; LW: 7) – Miami and Maryland have followed similar paths this season, looking impressive one week and falling flat the next. Bethune-Cookman presented little resistance, but the Hurricanes will need to play much better if they want to turn their season around and compete for the ACC Championship. (10/8 @ #21 Virginia Tech)
9. Duke (3-2, 1-0 aCC; LW: 10) – This Blue Devils team has salvaged what looked to be a terrible season, putting themselves in contention for a bowl. Sean renfree has shown leadership and poise that Duke has needed in their quarterback. (Bye)
10. Virginia (3-2, 0-1 aCC; LW: 9) – Don’t let the 3-2 record deceive you, this is not a good football team. The Cavaliers squeaked out another win, this time in overtime over lowly Idaho. Penalties and turnovers have been the story thus far for Virginia, who is lucky not to be 1-4. (Bye)
11. N.C. state (2-3, 0-2 aCC; LW: 12) – It’s hard to believe that last year, this team won nine games and was in the running for the conference championship. Tom o’Brien’s seat continues to get hotter as the Wolfpack continue to search for their first win against an FBS opponent. (10/8 vs. Central Michigan)
12. Boston College (1-4, 0-2 aCC; LW: 11) – There isn’t much left to say about this team, because the stats say it all. Nationally, the Eagles rank 77th in passing, 94th in rushing, and 99th in points. That isn’t exactly a recipe for success in the ACC. (10/8 @ #8 Clemson)
