CALS senators bring constituents togetherIce cream social near Bostian Hall a long time in the making.
John WallNews Editor
College of Agricultural and Life Sci-ences students will have the chance to voice their concerns to the college’s nine-member student senate delega-tion Thursday.
Freshmen transitioning into col-lege life and upperclassmen alike are invited to an ice cream social in the brickyard from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Student senators have been working since before summer began to create an event that brings together students, faculty, staff and alumni.
The purpose of inviting all present and former members to a localized area at once is to create dialogue, ac-cording to senior in human biology and CALS senator Harrison Do.
Budget cuts are the main topic the senators expect to hear about, accord-ing to Do.
“Along with starting dialogue among CALS faculty, staff, students and alumni, we want to create unity and allow student senators to meet their constituents,” Do said.

Quote of the day
“It seems that the Crafts Center’s
existence is still relatively un-
known around campus.”
Patrick Carroll, senior in electrical engineering
Newsto take photos of Centen-nial Campus. This proved challenging for him be-cause of the commute from Centennial Campus to the Crafts Center to develop the frames.
“Taking good photos of Centennial was difficult because we had to run back to the Crafts Center to de-velop each frame,” Carroll said. “This left many of our frames overexposed be-cause of a few light leaks in our cameras coupled with the longer average commute time.”
Carroll, who plans to par-ticipate in the event again this year, said he thinks this event will continue providing publicity to the
Crafts Center. “The Crafts Center hosts the competition to promote itself as a place for people to learn or practice new hobbies,” Carroll said. “It seems that the Crafts Center’s existence is still relatively un-known around campus.”
Hannah Pettus, a senior in international studies, also competed in the event last year. She said that while she was a newcomer to pinhole photog-raphy last year, the event was extremely rewarding.
“The event gives each student a sense of accomplishment, even if they do not place in the competition,” Pettus said. “It really gives students the chance to embrace full creativity.”
Pettus went on to say that this type of photography is easy to teach, which makes it viable for a campus setting.
“I think the Crafts Center en-joys this competition because
it is a relatively simple and yet still compelling form of photography,” Pettus said.
Westmoreland said stu-dents seem to thoroughly enjoy the event.
“Students always seem to have a great time,” Westmo-reland said. “It’s fun to use these cameras.”
Pettus said that she thinks this event fosters pride in the campus community.
“Since this competition is attempting to take a photo-graph that truly suits N.C. State pride, it really makes a student think about what it is they take pride in throughout campus and what really distinguishes N.C. State,” Pettus said.
Interestingly enough, past programs have incorporated everything from opera pre-miers to piano lecture-recitals on mathematics. The idea is to see a blending of educational and artistic elements, and to harness a mix of audio and vi-sual effects.
Arts studies aren’t typically paired with core curriculum, but Waschka’s intention is to break the barrier. He wants students to understand that there, in fact, can be a link be-tween something like musical composition and the study of mathematics or language.
After the show, students filed out of the ballroom with new perspectives on arts studies. Tracey D’Angelo, a senior in statistics, attended the event
with expectations of more musical elements but was sur-prised with a different take.
“It wasn’t what I was expect-ing, but that’s alright because it was actually pretty interesting. I’ve never really been exposed to art experimentation so now I have an idea of what it’s all about,” D’Angelo said.
This season of the Arts NOW! series features two events: the Electronic and Vocal Works program and one other per-formance with a guest artist scheduled for early second se-mester.
Past seasons of the series have included a number of events, shows, and performances, as well as several appearances by guest artists and composers from all over the world.
Tickets for all shows are available through Ticket Cen-tral at North Carolina State University.

directly with CALS student senators while in school would have been advantageous.
“My experience while at State was certainly an enjoy-able and enlightening one, but there were a few times when I wish I were able to speak with someone who would voice my opinion about something I felt needed to be fixed,” Gen-try said.
Gentry said if she were a freshman this year, she would have attended the event to meet other freshmen. If she were a sophomore or upperclassman, she said she would have had time to get acquainted with college life, but would still have attended to make sure senators heard her suggestions.

With the additions of Pittsburgh and Syr-acuse, the Atlantic
Coast Conference will soon be-come the first 14-team Division I collegiate athletic conference. Already a super conference, the ACC will look to expand fur-ther in the coming months by possibly adding another two schools. The possibilities in-clude: Rutgers University, the University of Connecticut, Notre Dame University and Villanova University, amongst others. The expansion of the ACC, whether it be to 14 teams or 16 teams, will greatly benefit the conference in the future.
2005, the ACC strengthened its position as a football power conference through the addi-tions of Virginia Tech, Miami and Boston College. Miami brought a storied tradition of five national championships in football. Virginia Tech and Boston College brought simi-
lar winning heritages. At the conclusion of the 2010 season Virginia Tech recorded seven-straight 10 win seasons and Boston College last recorded a losing season in 1998.
Even though these programs strengthened the ACC’s foot-ball standing, they did nothing to strengthen the ACC’s stand-ing in basketball. Combined, the three schools have only had two appearances in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 in the past 15 years. In the context of basketball, the only impact these teams had on the ACC was to divide the conference into Atlantic and Coastal divi-sions.
The addition of Syracuse and Pittsburgh does for basketball what the 2004-2005 additions did for football. Syracuse and
Pittsburgh combined bring 12 Sweet 16 appearances and a national title (Syracuse) in the past 15 years.
The possible additions of the University of Connecticut and Villanova could bring two more programs with winning heritages in basketball to the ACC. With 13 Sweet 16 appear-ances and three national titles, all from UConn, their addition further infuses the winning basketball tradition associated with the ACC.
The additions of Syracuse and Pittsburgh will make the potential ACC super confer-ence truly super, not only in terms of size, but also in the strength of its basketball and football programs.
The impact of this super conference creation will have
its economic benefits. The scale and power of the confer-ence, along with the markets it opens up, will be attractive to networks around the country. Syracuse and Pittsburgh offer the New York and Pennsylva-nia markets, which, accord-ing to Station Index, contain the No. 1, 4 and 23 markets in United States. With greater au-dience comes greater revenue generated from network deals. With the equal dispersion of revenue found in the ACC, this is sure to benefit all schools in the ACC, N.C. State included.
From its roots 58 years ago with seven teams, the move to a 14, possibly 16-team conference, is a dramatic change. However, this move will strengthen the conference competitively and economical-ly and should be welcomed, as what benefits the ACC benefits NCSU by association.
The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board, excluding the news department, and is the

ACC expands its powerThe FacTs:Soon the ACC will have two more members in its conference: Syracuse and Pittsburgh. This makes the ACC first 14-team conference, with both mens basketball and football teams, in the NCAA.
Our OpiniOn:The expansion of the ACC to 14 teams should be embraced. The addition of Syracuse and Pittsburgh add strength to the ACC’s basketball standing. It also opens economic opportunities in New York and Pennsylvania that will benefit the ACC.
Bandwagon or money-train?

Open your earsI will admit, my middle
school iPod was filled with the Top 40 chart-topping
hits. Some of those songs are still on my iPod, but now I
also listen to a wide array of progressive metal artists, independent bands, loca l a r t i st s , and underground rap.
I believe the music I listen to is the best. Many friends will attest that
I promote bands and artists in an attempt to expose people to what I think is the best type of sound there is, but the truth is that music is different to ev-ery person. Whether someone enjoys listen-ing to t he Top 40 hits or random independent b a n d s n o one has ever heard of, it’s their choice.
Music should be cel-ebrated and taste should not be critiqued. Music pref-erence is just one segment of the diversity we all should em-brace. However, part of diver-sity is exposing people to other ideas and cultures, so they can use these influences to create their own perspective. The only music lovers deserving critique are those who close themselves off from music tastes foreign to, or despised by their own.
WKNC 88.1, a local radio sta-tion broadcasting out of N.C. State, prides itself on being un-like every other radio station. The majority of their music is independent and local bands, with various shows endorsing many different genres and art-ists otherwise not featured on public radio.
WKNC listeners and other independent music lovers flaunt the fact that their mu-sic is different from anything anyone has ever heard of. The more obscure the band, the cooler it is.
The problem with the inde-pendent music lovers I speak of is they close themselves off to music that everyone else likes. They are put off by bands cel-ebrated by many people be-cause they believe the major-ity of people cannot appreciate good music.
There are also the music lov-ers who have listened to noth-ing but G105 their entire life. Their iPods are populated only by the Top 40 hits in the past seven years and the sound is stagnant, even though artists change.
These mainstream music lov-ers close themselves off to find-ing music they may like better than what they are constantly exposed to. It is easy to listen to what is played on the radio, but harder to search the wide sup-ply of music on the Internet or in local cafes to find that truly unique and satisfying sound.
The mainstream approach is no better than the inde-pendent approach to music. Mainstream listeners close themselves off to independent and lesser-known bands with uncelebrated skills and genres,
while inde-pendent lis-teners close themselves o f f f r o m mainstream music t hat has merit.
Both groups man-age to miss the point. It doesn’t mat-
ter what type of music some-one listens to. What matters is that people are open to other bands and genres while not basing any sound simply on what other people think of it. There are many mainstream bands who became famous be-cause they are simply amazing, and even though there may be a lesser-known artist who can compose and play music at the same level, this doesn’t mean either artist is better than the other.
The fact is, music is music. Music is something different to each person listening to it. Critiquing others’ tastes or beliefs on music doesn’t ben-efit anyone. We all think the music we listen to is the best, because it means something to us. But if someone thinks their music is the best because they have never opened their mind to anything else, they deserve to be educated. Once exposed, if these people still prefer their mainstream or independent tastes, that is perfectly respect-able. It is only important that they open their ears to the pos-sibilities.
Logging on, checking notifications, laugh-ing at a friend’s ironic
status and then uploading some pictures from a party last weekend are thing col-
lege students do regularly on social net-working sites,
most often on Facebook.Despite Facebook becom-
ing a popular source of sharing and communicat-ing, a recent study revealed that the site can negatively influence teens by mimick-ing peer pressure, which is normally reserved for school hallways and dorm room banter.
Researchers at Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse found that teens who log on daily to Facebook or other social networking sites are three times more likely to drink. They are twice as likely to use mari-juana and five times more likely to smoke tobacco.
Before you get worried about Facebook brain-washing your generation. The study only polled 1,000 American teens 12 years old to 17 years old, a small percentage of the teenage population.
The reasearch leads me to believe that these results are merely correlation and not proof of causation.
The reserach is similar to a statistics project where you only poll 50 or 100
students and make inferences about the entire student body.
Seeing pictures of people passed out with Sharpie tat-toos or reading statuses about listening to Wiz Khalifa and getting high might influence an impressionable teen, but jazz music in the ‘20s and rock ‘n’ roll in the ‘50s did the same, ac-cording to those who are much older and wiser.
Chase Hachmeister, a senior in biochem-istry, said he logs on to Facebook at least once a day but said he doesn’t think Face-book inf lu-ences him. “Facebook is just Face-book,” he said. “I don’t drink and I don’t plan to. I think it’s more of how you’re raised.”
Being brought up to fol-low the crowd could serve as a problem in a world that bombards young people with socially acceptable images of drunken buffoonery. However, I think young people are better than that.
Many college students will engage in illegal activities, but not because of Facebook. We’ll participate because we are young and in college.
Mistakes are going to be made, but chalk it up to regu-lar peer pressure, stupidity, or curiosity, not an Internet site.
No matter how often we ac-
cess it throughout the day, Facebook is just Facebook.
Maybe we’re spending too much time on Facebook and not enough time thinking about repercussions of our actions.
Think about how your use of Facebook will look 5 or 10 years from now when you are going around an ap-plying for jobs. A prospec-tive employer will get your
applica-tion and, without a doubt, look you up online. Your chances of ge t-ting the job will
be weakend if your pro-spective employer sees that keg stand picture from your 21st birthday while creeping through your profile.
Social media is supposed to be a unique way to con-nect with friends, not a pressure cooker for judg-ment.
Facebook is our genera-tion’s answer to rock ‘n’ roll, but don’t worry, our grandkids will have some-thing we don’t understand to criticize and blame soci-ety’s problems on too.

“It’s pretty simple—biodiesel is compatible with any diesel engine,” Jude said. “If you have a diesel engine, you can just fill up. You can fill up completely on biodiesel or even mix it with regular diesel.”
Piedmont Biofuels distributes their con-verted vegetable oil to their co-op members at a pump near the Five Points district, and the biodiesel they sell is cheaper than their com-petitors diesel prices by 15 cents.
“A gallon of biodiesel is $3.75,” Jude said. “The average for diesel fuel is about $4.00.”
According to Larry Larson, co-op member biodiesel proponent, there is little noticeable performance difference when his car is running on diesel or biodiesel. Larson, owner of coffee roaster Larry’s Beans, lets Piedmont Biofuels distribute their biodiesel by his warehouse on 1509 Gavin Street.
“Sometimes I might think there is a little more pep with regular diesel,” Larson said. “The biggest difference would be the smell. It does smell like the midway at the fairgrounds. Sometimes it’s a little french fry-y or Chinese restaurant-y, but I don’t mind it.”
But biodiesel consumers can’t stop by any french fry joint or Chinese restaurant to get their fix. According to Jude, there are four es-sential steps to turn vegetable oil into fuel.
Debunking the myths:There is a common misconception that
biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel are more expensive to produce than petroleum-based fuels, but according to Jude, gasoline and diesel are the least efficient of the bunch. “On the spectrum, petroleum ranks pretty low,” Jude said. “Now, they do produce more energy per unit, but they consume a lot more during their refining and distribution. Gas and diesel are at about .83 units of energy output per one unit of energy input.”
Despite the energy involved in fertilizing, cultivating, harvesting and processing grain ethanol, the energy output per unit input is only 1.2, according to Jude. Biodiesel tops the list at 3.5 units of energy output per one unit of input.
“Let’s say you’re growing a virgin soy bean crop—not being used for restaurant grease,” Jude said. “If you trace the energy from planting, fertilizing, harvesting, pressing it and distributing it, it’s still cheaper than petroleum.”
According to Larson, biodiesel plays a part in a more sustainable future.
“Biofuels are part of the equation, they’re not the answer,” Larson said.

Recycled vegetable oil offeRs a Renewable fuel to diesel vehicles without extRa cost—they call it biodiesel.
There are more than 30 gas stations within a four-mile radius of N.C. State, but only one of those offers something different apart from cigarette deals—local biodiesel. Unlike other types of biofuels, biodie-
sel is made from used vegetable oil. Any diesel engine can run off it without any conversions, according to Chris Jude, Piedmont Biofuels fuel produc-tion manager. Unlike corn or sugarcane ethanol, biodiesels are derived from ubiquitous restaurant grease, which, with a little bit of chemistry, can turn into fuel with almost the same potential energy as traditional diesel.
Piedmont Biofuels gathers res-taurant oil from a 100-mile radius
around its headquarters in Pittsboro, NC, ac-cording to Jude.
“We collect our oil from restaurants in the Triangle,” Jude said. “We pay for the grease of
the businesses we collect from.”The co-op equips its clients with bins and
dumpsters that a tanker collects on a consis-tent basis and transports back to the processing plant in Pittsboro.

Penn students bring social network to pre-meds Ivy-League sophomores create site to educate pre-medical students—and themselves.
Mark HerringFeatures Editor
Nebiyu Osman said he was dumbstruck after reading a Wired article this summer on the top five reasons to hate pre-med students.
The pre-med sophomore from the University of Penn-sylvania was looking for a sum-mer job when he got the idea to make a social network to take the edge out of the pre-med track.
“I was thinking about it, and it’s so true why people don’t like pre-meds,” Osman said. “They’re really competitive and cut-throat, but as an aspiring doctor, I wish it didn’t have to be that way.”
With the help of a teammate, Ainesh Ravi, on the Penn cross country team, Osman set to de-sign the Pre-Med Authority, a social media website for pre-med students to gain knowl-edge on different medical fields and connect with each other in a non-threatening environ-ment—and they’re looking to expand outside of Pennsylva-
nia and to North Carolina. The site should be accessible to N.C. State students today.
“A lot of the ideas and mo-tivation comes from my frus-tration as a freshman,” Osman said. “For me, being an athlete and taking academics seriously was tough. And since there are so many peo-ple, especially on my cam-pus looking to go to med school, it can be intimidat-ing.”
T he Pre-Med Author-ity integrates blogs f rom pre-med stu-dents, inter-v iews w it h doctors and uploaded n o t e s o n which core classes to take give students exposure to different types of medical professions and tips to boosting their potential, according to Osman.
“You’re not going to get the opportunity to shadow every-body,” Osman said. “Through our doctor interviews and blogs, we want to shed a lot of light on what this career is re-
ally like.”Osman said the development
of the Pre-Med Authority was an altruistic way for him to do his research for medical school.
“I’m going to have to do this work anyway, so I may as well help some other people out and leave a paper trail,” Os-
man said. “If you’re going to dedicate your college l i fe to this g o a l , a n d your life af-terwards, you are going to need to know this is what you want to do.”
Osman stressed the importance of students exploring the opportuni-
ties in medicine. As the son of a physician, Osman said he had increased exposure to medicine, but it’s not enough for him to know exactly what he wasn’t to do.
“I was talking to a doctor at a hospital in Philly and he said, ‘Honestly, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into,’ when I asked him about getting into
med school. He said, ‘Thank God I love my career,’ but I don’t want to be at the point. To me, it’s terrifying—to hand over your life to this profes-sion—especially because it’s self-inflicted.”
The development of the site isn’t complete and Osman sees the network growing as he grows as a student.
“In the site’s current form, it’s probably meant for more fresh-man and sophomores,” Osman said. “With our platform for bloggers, we will have more blog posts with their experi-ences applying to med school and making their personal statements.”
The Pre-Med Authority is not just looking for users, but also top students to help contribute content, including blog posts, samples of resumes, and inter-views with practicing doctors and researchers.
“I thought it would be a cool idea of pocket money,” Osman said. “If you want to do that, you have to make your content good, and we would pay con-tributors as we look into getting grants.”
At this point, U-Penn, Van-
derbilt University, Penn State and University of Pittsburgh are members. As the site grows and catches on with these stu-dent bodies, Osman said he is looking to expand to other universities.
With four medical schools in-state, Osman said North Carolina students are a good demographic for the website.
“We’d love have a base at N.C. State, Duke, Chapel Hill,” Osman said. “There are plenty of good schools in N.C.”
Asha Nadabar, a junior in bi-ological sciences and pre-med student, said she sees the site as a beneficial supplement to her connections with the Pre-Health Club.
“The whole pre-med atmo-sphere is really competitive, but sadly that’s how it is,” Nada-
bar said. “The Pre-Health Club gives you a lot of oppor-
tunities to learn about the re-sources and getting to know other people, but I would look in to it to see what this website can offer.”
Unlike the organization of the Pre-Health Club on cam-pus, Osman’s experience at Penn is different and less in-
teractive.“The goal of the website is to
give pre-med students the op-portunity to connect with stu-dents on their campus mainly,” Osman said. “Even though these pre-med organizations exist, I see a social network being less intimidating for a student to research and inquire forinformation.”
Ankita Gautam, a senior in biochemistry, said she would use the site to share class work.
“I think it would be cool to

After use in restaurants, the vegetable oil must be filtered
before it can be converted into biodiesel.“We filter out the water and fried bits from
the oil,” Jude said. “You don’t want that in your engine.”
Before the processors can start converting the triglicerides of vegetable oil into the methyl esters of biodiesel, the grease must be as clean as possible.
Vegetable oil is a plant-based form of triglyercides, but to mim-
ic petrodiesel, it must go through a process in which it’s converted into a fatty acid methyl ester, getting rid of a glycerol group.
This process involves adding methanol, a type of alcohol, to the vegetable oil. To speed up the reaction, the mix must be heated just under 158
degrees, the evaporation point of alcohol. The addition of a strong base, like sodium hydrox-ide or sodium sodium methoxide will catalyze the reaction, lowering the amount of energy required to covert the mix into fuel.
“The transesterification causes the glycerin from the oil molecule to drop out, leaving the fatty acids to bond to methanol,” Jude said.
Before Piedmont Biofuels dis-tributes its biodiesel, it takes the
new product to the lab to test for quality and purity.
“We want to make sure everything is working right before you pump it into your car,” Jude said.
“A gallon of our biodiesel has 120,000 BTUs per gallon. Regular diesel is 130,000 BTUs.”
One BTU, British thermal unit, is the equiva-lent of the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from 39 to 40 degrees.

post class notes,” Gautam said. “My friends and I already do that, so I think it would be helpful. It’s nice to think of a resource that can help you and others.”
If the idea catches on or not, Osman said he’s going to con-tinue working on the Pre-Med Authority.
“I like it because it helps me solidify my ideas and knowl-edge for med school,” Osman said. “I might as well share it with others.”
With three more years to

shot to the far post and scored, giving the Pack a 2-0 lead late in the game.
The Pack concluded the game
with two more goals towards the end of the second half, the first by Albadawi and the sec-ond by sophomore midfielder Danny DiPrima. The last three goals were all scored within 10 minutes, bringing the final score of the game to 4-0.
“Any game in general is a big game for us,” coach Kelly
Findley said. “We want to win every game and play to our standards. I was glad that we scored goals. I was pleased that we got a shutout, I was also pleased that we passed the ball well and that we overall scored four goals. It was a good night.”
The team’s aggressive play may have led them to victory,
but it also got junior defender Chandler Knox a yellow cau-tion card.
“Any time you play at home you want to come out and play violent,” Findley said.
The Pack allowed Presbyte-rian only eight shots through-out the game. Only one of these was actually on goal.
“We worried about Presby-terian today and we got what we wanted,” Findley said. “Now we’ll prepare for Clemson on Friday.”
The team will face Clemson University Friday at 7 p.m. at home. This will be their second ACC game of the season.
“I think we’re prepared to
win [against Clemson],” In-gram said. “In training we’ve been working really hard so I think we have a great chance of getting the win.”
new Under Armour uniform,” Stultz said. “They may have been controversial, but it defi-nitely garnished national at-tention.”
“Even if State could design a uniform half as flashy but gain the same national attention it could only help put N.C. State in the spotlight for potential
recruits.”The University should seri-
ously consider each brand and not harbor any feelings for Adi-das just because they are our current sponsor. Their uni-forms have not been even re-motely close to mind-blowing.
Adidas does not have the reputation or merchandise that Nike or even Under Armour have. Sara Sweeting, a senior in agricultural sciences, feels Nike’s reputation is its best selling point.
“State should sign with Nike,” Sweeting said. “Because its quality gear, it’s worth the price and will last forever. I only buy Nike athletic equip-ment. Nike is a better-known brand for athletic apparel and potential recruits will be more
drawn to Nike than Adidas.”“Adidas is known for being
a soccer brand, not a football brand.”
There are many factors re-cruits consider in deciding where to play college ball. Of course many recruits will not
base their decision solely on the team’s uniforms, but if other factors such as money, location and academics are the same, then fan base, sponsor-ship and reputation will also become factors in the decision making process.
Brian Cerrito, a senior in animal science, agrees that a switch in sponsorships will benefit the University.
“Under Armour would give us more design options than Adidas,” Cerrito said. “Under
Armour designs would en-ergize the fan base, which in turn could help bring in more, higher-rated recruits.”
With State’s contract ending soon, the University should seriously consider the benefits of switching to a more exciting brand such as Nike or Under Armour. Not just for the flashy uniforms but for the impact such a switch could have on fans and recruits.

of the Midwest’s most promi-nent football figures.
“When I was growing up through the years, the Catho-lic League in Cincinnati was as good as any league in the nation,” O’Brien said. “And it certainly still is.”
St. Xavier High School, which O’Brien and Bible both attended as teenagers, has one of the more powerful pro-grams in the Cincinnati area. Because several of the coaches on State’s football staff have strong regional connections, a small but sturdy pipeline from the state has been created, al-lowing players like redshirt senior defensive lineman Jeff Rieskamp, a graduate of Elder High School in Cincinnati in 2007, to be recruited.
“Don Horton does a great job,” O’Brien said. “He’s an-other one of our guys on our staff from Cincinnati. He grew
up in the city and went to Wit-tenberg [University], which is just up the road and has a lot of great ties in the state of Ohio.
“When you know people, you can trust people. You can trust their judgment on ath-letic ability and the character of the kid you’re getting. That’s important to us in recruiting.”
And for a public university in North Carolina, having seven Ohio products on the roster proves Wolfpack coaching con-nections can foster that pipe-line. In Talbert’s case, it was State’s reputation for develop-ing tight ends, which ultimately sold him on attending college down south.
“They use tight ends a lot with two tight end sets, and we’ve had some good tight ends come out of here that I have met personally,”Talbert said. “Anthony Hill went to the Houston Texans and he was playing with them for a while, and [redshirt senior tight end] George Bryan has been All-ACC for three years in a row.
“The Wolfpack definitely knows how to utilize their tight ends, so I figured that would be a good fit for me.”
Along with Rieskamp and freshman tight end Benson Browne, Talbert will be one of the three Cincinnatians headed back home for Thursday night’s nationally televised match up. Receiving the opportunity to play in front of friends and family is something Talbert said he will thoroughly enjoy.
“I have a lot of friends and family coming to the game, so I am looking forward to being able to play in front of them,” Talbert said. “Two guys from my high school play defense for Cincinnati, so I’m excited to go back home. We’re still good friends and stay in contact, so I’m excited to go out there and compete against them.”
With a hint of Cincinnati ties and a palpable spice of North Carolina pride, perhaps those friends and family will taste a Wolfpack victory.

program has won 13 confer-ence championships, most recently in 2010.
One possible outcome be-ing widely discussed is the formation o f f o u r power confer-ences, which will include the ACC, P a c 12 , SEC, and the Big 10. A merger between two mid-major conferences, the Mountain West and Conference USA, has also been a topic of in-terest.
“The way it’s looking you could have the ACC, Pac
whatever, Big 10, the SEC, and then have another league that’s a hybrid of the Big East and Big 12,” Friedlander said. “So there could be five or six super conferences. Either four or five would be in the BCS.”
According to Friedlander, he believes that these moves will hurt the mid-majors and
school s i n non-BCS conferences.
“You’re isolating the little teams,” Friedlander sa id . “You might as well have anoth-er d iv ision like 1-AA or 1-AAA.”
Lively also believes that
the mid-major conferences are necessary for the college athlet-ics landscape.
“I like the smaller confer-ences,” Lively said. “I think that it promotes the schools better.
Adding those two schools is go-ing to help the ACC in a way. It’s going to promote better overall wellness for the confer-ence, but I feel that we didn’t need to put those two teams in there.”
“If we had four conferences with 16 then it would be too much for me.”
Conference realignment can have many possible outcomes and consequences for both the athletic and financial implica-tions for the ACC, Big East, and the other BCS conferences. When the dust is finally settled, it’s clear that college sports will never be the same.

Presbyterian falls to the Wolfpack men’s soccer team.
Allyssa PearsonCorrespondent
The Wolfpack (3-2-2 overall, 0-1 ACC) men’s soc-cer team rebounded from a loss to Maryland on Friday, defeating Presbyterian (0-6) at Dail Soccer Stadium Tuesday night. The game marked the team’s fourth shutout of the season.
The Pack managed to take the lead early when freshman midfielder Matt Ingram scored, with an as-sist from junior defender Moritz Steidten, in the 20th minute. This was Ingram’s first goal of his collegiate career.
“I’m real excited [about
my first goal],” Ingram said. “Not just because it’s my first college goal, but just the first goal of the season. It always seems like it’s the toughest one to get. It was a game that we really needed to win. These Tuesday night games are re-a l ly impor-tant for us.”
The Pack possessed the ball for the majority of the first half. T h e t e a m ended the half with nine shots and six corner kicks, giving up only two shots to Presbyterian.
With the Pack in the lead, 1-0, the second half proved to be much more action packed.
The Blue Hose fans tensed up in the 65th minute as the Pack
almost strengthened their lead when freshman mid-fielder Nazmi Albadawi’s shot was blocked by the Presbyterian goalkeeper. Albadawi was responsible
for four of the 20 total shots o f t h e game, two of which were on goal. He a l s o claimed two of the six tota l assists.
“[I’m pleased with the fact] that we put up so many goals,” Albadawi said. “They’ve been coming for a while and tonight we finally

Older than the confer-ence N.C. State calls home, Skyline Chili has become a legendary and world-re-nowned chain based out of Cincinnati since 1949.
When State travels to face the Bearcats this Thursday, all six Wolfpack players and coaches who call Cincinnati their hometown will make sure the team understands why.
“We’ll try to make sure the guys have a chance to
try it, so everyone knows what we’re talking about,” redshirt sophomore tight end, and Cincinnati native, An-thony Talbert sa id. “This summer, [ju-nior running back] James Washington came home with me and he was able to experience the Skyline sensation. Coach [Dana] Bible [offen-sive coordi-nator] will always bring it up. He’ll say ‘Hey Anthony, I just came back from Cincinnati and
I got some Skyline Chili.’“I’m definitely a fan.”Talbert attended Winton
Woods High School on the north side of Cincinnati, and is one of three current State players hailing from the city. Also b o r n a n d ra ised just to the north of the Ohio River were football coaches Tom O’Brien,
Dana Bible and tight ends coach Don Horton. Bible is also a 1976 graduate of Cincinnati
University. “There’s a few coaches
from Ohio in general,” Tal-bert said. “Even [lineback-ers] coach Tenuta is from Columbus and [offensive line coach] Jim Bridge is from just outside of Cleve-land. There’s definitely an Ohio camaraderie there.”
While it’s unlikely any of these Ohioan players or football coaches will ever discover the unique Skyline recipe that Greek immigrant Nicholas Lam-brinides brought to Amer-ica, one secret doesn’t stay in the family - Cincinnati’s high school football has consistently produced some

This year, it seems college football has become more of a fashion show than an athletic competition.
New uniforms are constant-ly on display each week, from the neon colors of the Oregon Ducks to the warlike image of the Michigan State Spartans.
It seems fans and players alike are more concerned with how the uniforms look and feel than the actual games. But these uniforms are more than just a fashion statement. They can be used as a recruitment tool.
So much more attention has been garnished to these teams in the first few weeks, and it hasn’t always been because of their outstanding play.
N.C. State’s new uniforms have been anything but mem-orable. The problem is State is not taking advantage of an op-portunity to help improve and expand its recruiting process.
Both basketball and football contracts with Adidas expire at the end of this school year and there has been talk that the Wolfpack is considering new contracts with Under Armour or Nike instead of re-signing with Adidas.
State’s contract talks are gaining attention throughout campus, and many students feel a change is needed. Spencer Stultz, a senior in parks, rec-reation and tourism manage-ment, is one of those students.

Next step: super conference
Pack reins over Presbyterian
acc
With the recent additions to the ACC, speculations of who’s next arise.
Jeniece JamisonSenior Staff Writer
With all of the talk of confer-ence realignment, it’s evident that these decisions will change the landscape of college athlet-ics for years to come.
The addition of Syracuse and Pittsburgh, which will likely go into effect in 2014, puts the ACC at a 14-team conference with talk of adding two more teams to put the total at 16.
This also opens up revenue opportunities for the ACC, but each of the schools leaving the Big East must pay a $5 million fee to their former conference.
The next two teams the media has widely discussed as possible ACC entrants are Connecticut and Rutgers, but the student body of N.C. State thinks otherwise.
“Realist ica l ly speaking, probably Connecticut and West Virginia, but unrealisti-cally speaking Texas and one other Big 12 team like Oklaho-ma, Oklahoma State, or Kan-sas,” Paul Friedlander, a junior in sport management said.
Nick Lively, a sophomore in English, also believes adding the Mountaineers would be beneficial for the conference from both a competitive and geographical prospective.
“I think West Virginia would be a good one,” Lively said. “They’re more dominant. They’re a very well put together team and they’re still on the east coast somewhat.”
Reportedly, Connecticut has been actively seeking mem-bership into the ACC. UConn would bring with it the defend-ing men’s basketball National
Champion and the women’s basketball program with the longest winning streak in his-tory which would add to the conference’s rich basketball tradition.
If West Virginia were added to the picture of realignment instead of Rutgers it would definitely raise the conference’s profile in both of the revenue sports, football and men’s bas-ketball. The Mountaineers have won 14 conference champion-ships in football and appeared in 27 bowl games. Its basketball

Possible additioNs to acc:UConn - The University of Connecticut is historically known for its great basketball program, but has come on in recent years in football as well. Last year’s NCAA men’s basketball champions were also the Big East champions in football and women’s basketball.
West Virginia - The Mountaineers are up-and-coming in both men’s basketball and football in the last decade. West Virginia won the Big East championship in 2010 in men’s basketball and played against N.C. State in the Champs Sports Bowl last fall.
Notre Dame - The Irish would be a perfect addition to the ACC, but would be more of a dream addition. Notre Dame not only has tradition in football, but also remain in the top 25 in men’s basketball. They have been offered to join the Big East several times, but with teams like Virginia Tech, Florida State and Miami to compete with year in and year out, the Irish might make the move to the ACC.
