The Wave of Relief efforts,starting at the beginning of thesemester, officially concludedFeb. 14. The total amount raisedas a result ofthe efforts reached$38,754.55.During the basketball game

against Virginia on Feb. 5, Stu-dent Government presenteda check to the American RedCrOss of the raised funds fortsunami victims. However,

Jennifer Crutchfield, executiveassistant to the student bodypresident, said NC. State actu—ally ended up giving the ARCmore than the amount writtenon the check.Mike Giancola, director ofthe

Center for Student Leadership,Ethics and Public Service, saidalthough the first relief effortshave officially closed, organiz-ers in Student Government areplanning a second phase of ef-forts. He said the second phasewould involve “more sustain—able projects,” such as a habitatproject in the tsunami—affectedareas for Summer 2006.As part of the second phase,

Heartbeat” on one side and“NC. State” on the other, willbe available March 10 at theearliest, Crutchfield said.She said members of the Stu—

dent Government ExecutiveBoard and others chose the “OneHeartbeat” theme based on thisbasketball season’s theme.“From that we started real—

izing that it was true for the. University, that we have oneheart,” Crutchfield said, add-ing that the theme also alludedto unity within NCSU and theworld in general.One—half of the proceeds

from wristband sales will go to

the Wolfpack Student Initiativeto help fund students scholar-ships, Student Body PresidentTony Caravano said.The American Red Cross has

written out letters saying theyhave enough money for thetsunami relief efforts, he said,“so this money will stay on NOState’s campus.”The wristband sales were set

back three weeks due to the,Chinese New Year, but StudentGovernment hopes hopes tohave them right before theACC basketball tournamentCaravano said.“We wanted to make sure

some ofthe money went to stu-dents and went to campus tosend students overseas some-

Student Government wouldbe selling wristbands forawhile. “They’re wanting todo something more tangible,”Crutchfield said.She said Student Government

and organizers are still trying toresearch and look into the ideaof having a summer trip to thetsunami-affected regions.After Spring Break, Giancola

said he is planning to pull to-gether faculty, staffand studentsto seek other ways in whichNCSU can continue to be “inaction” regarding tsunami re—lief efforts.

High decibel levels can

cause future hearing loss

In addition to concerts andloud car systems, noise levelsat bars and on personaliPods can cause hearingdamage. ‘

Melanie SchachtStaffwriter

Although students may be alltoo awareofthe constant warn-ings of hearing loss due to loudconcerts, they may not realize.that harmful decibel levels alsoexist in everyday locations suchas bars and on iPods.High levels of sound inten-

sity (measured in decibels), like' those typically associated withconcerts and car systems, are

capable of causing temporaryor permanent hearing loss forstudents in later years.Jenna Hughes, a freshman in

business management, has beenexposed to long periods of loudmusic on a regular basis for thepast five months while workingat the Exodus Lounge in down—town Raleigh.“My ears used to ring like crazy

while I was at work, and thenwhen I got home I would stillhear things as ifI were under-water,” she said. Aside from hercomplaints, Jenna said she doesnot think she has acquired anylong~term hearing loss.The American Tinnitus Asso—

According to the Office ofStudent Conduct, a viola—tion in academic misconductmight include “cheating, pla—giarizing, aiding and abettingothers to cheat and falsifyingacademic records.” The officealso explains that the faculty

members themselves handlemost violations. Once solvedby the teacher or a student ju—dicial board, the office keeps arecord ofall student violationsfor five years.Although some students seek

cheating methods to enhancetheir grades, others, such asAmanda McDonald stick toethical academics. McDonald,a sophomore in biological sci-ences, said that cheating is ahigh-risk choice that offersvery little in reward.

“It’s just not worth it,” she .said. “The price you wouldpay if you were to get caughtcould have an impact on therest of your life.”Two years ago, the student

In an age of piracy andblack markets, it appears thatcounterfeiters have found yetanother market to which theycan sell their wares. “Diplomamills,” illegal organizationsthat produce fake diplomas ondemand, are becoming a threatto employers and potential em-ployees around the world.

“I think it is a big problembecause completely unqualifiedindividuals are competing withqualified ones for jobs,” JeremiahReid, a freshman in computerengineering, said. “I don’t seemany other ways for employersto get this information.”These diplomas are becom—

ing increasingly realistic, andthe organizations behind themhave begun creating personalWeb sites and mailing addressesto make it more difficult for em-ployers to tell them apart fromreal universities.“Most employers don’t care

about accreditation, or evenknow what it is. Major recruitersgo to the campuses to interviewpotential employees,” CarolSchroeder, director of the Uni-versity Career Center, said.At the order of Congress, the

Office of Postsecondary Educa-tion launched a Web site earlierthis month with a master list ofover 6,900 accredited universi—ties all across the country. Thissite will allow employers to checkthe legitimacy of applicants andprotect themselves from hiringunskilled employees.The list includes basic informa—

tion such as school population,location and the university’s ac-crediting body.Accrediting bodies are presti-

gious organizations that vouchfor colleges, and their endorse—ments are the most difficult fordiploma mills to fake.NCSU’s accrediting institution

is the Southern Association ofColleges and Schools, Commis-sion on Colleges, which recog—nizes degree-grant colleges fromVirginia to Florida to Texas.Though it maybe oflittle con-

Accord-ing to their research, millions ofAmericans have hearing loss dueto noise exposure, and up to 90percent of all tinnitus patients

have some level of noise—relatedhearing loss.Although the statistics show

the large possibility for hearingloss, some college students aren’twilling to make the sacrifice ofmissing out on seeing their fa~vorite concerts.

“I agree with the compilationof the listing. I do not want

someone with a bogus degreeto be hired over me, or anyone“else who has worked for theireducational status,” Tori Renz, afreshmen in biological engineer—ing and religious studies, said.According to Schroeder, com—

She said that as long asNCSU performs well, andconsistently establishes itselfon lists of universities com-piled by ranking agenciessuch as the Gorman Report,companies will continuetheir presences on campusand facilitate interviews withstudents.

(HEATINGcontinued from page 1final] from the kid in front ofme.”Joseph said the student he

copied from had no idea he wascheating off him. They eachmade a B- on the exam.For Joseph, who boasts a 2.7

GPA, cheating is not limited toScantron tests.“One final was four pages of

short answers and essays,” hesaid. “I just took out my notes,and got my answers straightfrom them. I just made it looklike my notes were the test.”He even admitted he was sur-

prised he did not get caught.Some students have professors

who create their tests by simplycopying and pasting questionsoff a book’s Web site. If a pro—fessor does not publicize such

a tool, many students questionif they are being unethical bymemorizing answers and ulti-mately acing an exam. .McDonald says it is “OK” to

study off practice tests whenyou know a professor takes hisquestions from it.“If it is available for all stu-

dents, and the teacher knowsthat every student has the samecapability of getting tests fromthose sources, I believe it is fair,”she said.Dr. Robert Beckmann, who

lectures as many as 200 biologystudents at one time, said he isaware cheating takes place.

“I tell students at the beginningof the semester that I can’t stopall the cheating in a classroom,”Beckmann said. “What theyneed to understand is they aren’tcheating me out of anything.They aren’t taking anythingaway from me; they are taking

things away from themselves.”Beckmann explained that

when he was a student, theschool’s honor code generallyheld enough respect among thestudent body that students didnot cheat.He said he tries to instill a basic

principle of trust with his stu-dents early on to create an honorcode ofhis own.“Honor codes work, but only

when students enforce them,” hesaid. “If students don’t enforcethem, they have no credibility.”In McDonald’s eyes, academic

misconduct takes away morefrom the violator than it doesfrom the system.“When you graduate, you want

that diploma to be somethingyou earned,” she said. “Cheat-ing is a question of ethics. Thedecision you make, whether foror against, is a direct reflection ofthe person you have become.”

Liberals have morals, too

Webster defines liberalism as “apolitical philosophy based on thebelief in progress, the essentialgoodness of the human race, and

the autonomyofthe individu—al and standingfor the protec—tion ofpoliticaland civil liber-ties.”That’s funny

, . because that[saac definitionTI‘l sounds much

PP different thanStaffColumnist. “immoral, god—less heathens who hate America,”which is the general idea I’ve gath-ered from Fox News and othersources of conservative propa—ganda.Despite liberalism’s rich and

successful tradition in America,and how liberals make up a goodportion of the population, conser-vatives often use the term with de-risiOn, likening liberalism to anti—Americanism, anti-Christianityand anti—morality.Case in point, the exit polls in the

2004 election, in which 27 percentof the voters felt that “moral val—ues” was the most important factorin deciding their vote. Althoughthe results are statistically unsound(“moral values,” a category of is—sues, was put up against individualissues, such as “Iraq” or the “econ—omy”), conservative commentatorsstill utilized the results to gloatover the moral victory ofthe right.However, despite what Sean

Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and JerryFalwell may tell you, liberals areanything but immoral.While We may take different

stances on certain issues, moralityis as important to a liberal as it isto any conservative.One ofthe most pervasive myths

in American politics is the ideathat the Republican party is theparty of God, and that the Demo—crats play host to the godless. How—ever, Christianity and Christianvalues have always bee-n, and con-tinue to be, an important part ofliberal political philosophy.Despite what they might think,

Republicans do not have a monop-oly on Christianity. On the con—trary, if any political leaning can besaid to lie closer to the teachings ofChrist, it is the left.Christian morals are a large part

of any number of liberal beliefs,including the elimination of pov-erty and homelessness, advocatingequal rights and providing healthcare.

In fact, it is the legacy of liberalChristian Democrats who arepartly responsible for a number ofimportant American institutions.Social Security, Medicare, childlabor laws and fair wages are allexamples ofthe moral successes ofliberalism that are directly in linewith Christian views.After all, wasn’t Jesus the ulti-

mate liberal?The role of Christianity within

liberal political philosophy is justone exampleofthe impor—tance ofmoral- “The use of the

a lie that has caused thousands ofdeaths, conservatives would ratherlook the other way.The typical pro-life argument is

sumes we are immoral because our' value system doesn’t advocate thejudgment ofhomosexuals and therestriction oftheir rights as Ameri—cans.Even the “hippies” of the 603 and

703 had a firm belief in moral con-victions. These moral convictionsincluded more than smoking potand listening to Jimi Hendrix.On the contrary, there were a

number of “hippie” communitieswhose sense of family, charity andcommunity would put almost anyBaptist congregation to shame.The truth is that many claims of

conservativemoral superiority arelittle more than hypocrisy.Honesty is an important moral

value, and Bill Clinton was practi—

Americans, and it is high time thatthe political right stopped claimingto be a bastion of moral superior—ity.The use of the word “liberal”

or “liberalism” as a buzzword tocharacterize someone as anti—Christian and immoral needsto stop. Liberals, Christians andnon—Christians alike have a long—standing tradition ofmoral valuesthat equals, if not surpasses, that ofconservatives.Regardless ofyour political

leanings, liberalism has played animportant part in the developmentof our great nation, and it is some-thing we should all be proud of.Tell Isaac something moral atviewpoint@technicianonline.com

A HUGE OI —PORTUNITY HAS PRESENTED ITSELF, AND WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE COM—MUNICATION DEPARTMENT, THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR THE UNIVERSITY TOAGAIN BE A LEADER IN A TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH.

Atari, Pong, Mario, Nintendo,Sonic, Zelda, Final Fantasy, Play-Station, X-Box, Halo.These names represent many in

an explosive industry of interactivemedia. For the last two decades,video games have been leaders inbreakthroughs in this technologi-cally oriented society.But video gamers are not always

a group of bored nerds who sitaround with nothing better to do,like go to class or even go outside

as the mainstream media makesthem out to be.The developers of those games

are often on the front edge of tech—nology just so they can make thegames more “life-like,” for lack of abetter term.The knowledge that goes into de—

signing a video game can be usedin other capacities, as well, whichis why NC. State would be wise toembrace the entertainment cultureand merge it into its curriculum.Video games are what drive

computers. The same engines thatproduce Halo 2 can also produce astate-of-the—art architecture pro—gram that allows the user to walkthrough a building and simulatedisasters or dangers and possibleescape routes.NCSU is a Research—I institution,

so the academic program wouldneed research connected with it.

The research does not have to befor the next biggest video game, ‘but it can be for the technologythat produces the next biggestvideo game.Such a major would have the

capacity to merge disciplines acrossthe university curriculum. A major,or minor, in interactive entertain—ment or technological media couldbe a combination of computer sci-ence and communication.Computer science would be do-

ing most of the research as far aswhat the new technology wouldbe and how to combine elementsto produce one powerful engine.Communication would be in-volved with audience appeal andhow to design the technology andpresent it in a way that wouldbe marketable. They could alsodiscuss the ethics of the entertain—ment industry specifically andalways look at how technology canbe used to advance society.The College of Humanities and

Social Sciences is often overlookedon this campus with the main fo-cus being science, technology andengineering. ,NCSU needs to follow through

with more interdisciplinary part-nerships. Only by working togetherthrough academic cooperation canwe make the University a strongerinstitution.

In-state tuition freeze only ashort-term solution

For the past three years, there has been a de—bate over the increase of tuition for in—state andout- of—state students across the UNC system. Iam sure many ofyou students have heard about

this issue, as it affects almOstall ofus. Many ofyou havealso heard that the Board ofGovernors officially votedto freeze in-state tuitionincreases until further no -tice. The BOG also will notaddress out-of— state tuition

. increases and student fee in—creases until later in March.

Eng?” 1 am really hoping that thisZI e , freeze is only a short-termStaffCo/umnlst decision. The longer this

freeze stays in effect, the more the UNC systemis negatively affected.Unfortunately, it also eliminates 50 percent of

the requested tuition increases that the Board ofTrustees was asking for.These tuition increases would have gone to-

ward improving the competitiveness OfNCSUfaculty salaries comparative to other schools,increasing funding and maintenance costs formuch ofthe construction on this campus. Itwould have also helped reduce thésize of classes

and increase the offered sections of a possibleclass.Dean of the College of Engineering Nino Mas—

nari noted that keeping faculty salaries competi—tive would improve the school’s ability to recruitand keep top faculty. I believe that competitive—ness is important because it is our high caliber offaculty that makes NC. State one of the nation’sstrongest schools. If the University offers lesscompetitive salaries compared to other schools,it is only human nature that our faculty willleave for other schools where they can be paidthe career standard.As a Student Ambassador, I always mention to

visiting parents and students that the majorityof our classes have 30 students or fewer. Stu—dents, you may not think much ofthis, but thisfact is of significant importance to the parentsof prospective freshmen. If the Board ofTrust-ees does not receive the funds needed, a goodnumber of these small classes will be canceledand fewer sections of a required or desired classwill be offered. This will lead to larger classesand a reduced educational benefit. Although theacademic performance of a student is largely de~pendent on the student’s own motivation, classsize can play a large part in how that studentperforms. A

No matter what you think, it is obvious thatwith the budget shortfall of the university sys-tem and ofthis state, money must come fromsomewhere to support the continued excellenceofNCSU and Of the UNC system. A freeze intuition increases is not a good long—term remedy .and will most likely not last long.So what is the Board of Trustees to do? I like

the idea of a lottery. States like Georgia, Tennes—see and Virginia have all instituted a lottery tofund budget shortfalls in their states. Gov. MikeEasley has spent most of his term trying to passthe lottery in the NC. Legislature.However, this lottery should only be used for

educational purposes and not for balancing thestate budget.

I like how Tennessee’s new lottery is struc—tured. It is against state law for the lottery moneyto be used for the budget. All monies are to beused for funding scholarships for students.Further, I believe that the lottery should ben—

efit students of all backgrounds, as long as theyare motivated. In Tennessee, a student has toeither fill the requirement of obtaining an ACTscore of 18 or possess a GPA of 2.8, regardlessof the level of class being taken in high school.These requirements are reasonable enough sothat any serious, motivated student canrpbtain

a scholarship, regardless ofsocial class. NorthCarolina should use Tennessee’s example in set-ting its requirements.Coupled with the lottery, NCSU should hold

off on out-of—state tuition increases until it stepsup its efforts to recruit out-of—state studentsto the University. Student Body President TonyCaravano mentioned that the school does notrecruit many out of state students— around 13percent ofNCSU students are from out of state.Out~of—state students, of course, go a long wayin raising the national status of a university.With the recent improvements that this cam-

pus has been making the constant improve-ment of Centennial Campus, for one —-— theUniversity can send a strong pitch to lure out—of-state students here. If the lottery can also bemodified to possibly provide small scholarshipsto out- of— state students who specify NCSU astheir first choice, this may ease the burden onthem, as well.Nevertheless, tuition increases are a delicate

issue, but I have full confidence in our trusteesand student leaders to devise a solution that willsatisfy both parties.Give Memie your tuition solutions atviewpoint@technicianontinexom '3

The

of a crushAt one time or another every-.

one has tasted the bitter gall ofloneliness. Thousands knowall too well a feeling similar to

that oftheunicorn onNoah’s ark.One day,

everythingis peachy.You’reromp -ing withvour singlefriends, thesun is shin-ing, little

birds are chirping and RumRunners is having dollar—drinknight. Then, all of the sudden,dark, ominous-looking cloudsfill the once clear and azure skyand to your dismay you findtha everyone has organizedthemselves into couples. As thecold and biting rain begins tofall, something about you. ownpending solitude seems horri-bly inappropriate. .Thankfully, many of us (1

not share the unicorn’s ulti-mate fate. Often, when we areleast expecting it, a new personcomes into our lives and trans-forms our emotions ofdisgrun—tlement and dismay into hap—piness and optimism. There issuddenly a renewed hope thatyou too might one day be the-second half of a couple and not

break from the monotony ofmy cynicism towards the dat-ing world and pay tribute to alittle thing we call the “crush.”

I will be the first to agree thatdating isn’t all heartache, sor—row, dashed hopes and emptypromises. Sure, blind dates areawkward, Valentine’s Day ismore painful than a root canalifyou don’t have someone Spe+cial to share it with, and find-ing real love can be as challeng-ing as finding actual reality inreality TV. There is, however,a certain excitement that goesalong with being single. Themost enthralling aspect ofbe-ing “on the market” is engagingin the perilous quest of findingsome lucky person to showerwith your admiration and af—fection.Comfort and consistency are

things I hope to have one dayin the future, but for now I’mhappy to enjoy the thrill ofthechase. It’s like the second gradeplayground all over again, onlybetter. Now the boys don’t turntail and run aWay screamingand throwing sand when myfriends and I go after them.Plus, I don’t have braces andhave discovered a little thingcalled the hair brush.

Overlook the yearswhen she could not yet walkor form coherent sentences,as well as the brief period inwhich she was convinced boyshad a cootie infestation issue.That averages out to about 25crushes a year.Why so many? Because

they’re novel, alluring, fasci—nating and because they cap—tivate our thoughts in such apersonal way.A crush can develop in a

matter ofminutes and canevaporate even more quickly.Infatuation with an eligiblemale may originate because hewears a cute shirt, gets a tan ora haircut, or because he finallycleans the wax from his ears.

More than ever before, men are taking advantage ofsalon servicesand specialized products in the name of“beauty.”

Ashley SmithStaffWriterIn the 1995 movie Clueless, Cher Horowitz made a

fascinating insight regarding young men and personalhygiene. She made mention ofbaggy jeans, backwardcaps and long greasy hair. Well, Miss. Horowitz wouldbe very pleased with the way guys have evolved over thepast 10 years.In a society where masculinity is still highly favored,

men are taking part in certain beautification rituals.Both L’Oreal and Gillette have recently come out withskin and hair care lines specifically targeted toward men.More men are getting tans, manicures and their eye—brows waxed.“One third of our clientele are men,” Amanda Gay of

the Electric Beach says. “We do have a few older men,but we have quite a few Southern college guys looking toget that base tan, probably before they go on vacation.”Kenneth Wilkins, a lifelong education student, says,

“I would maybe get a manicure if it was free, just to seewhat it’s like.” ‘While most guys agree that getting their eyebrows.

waxed would be a bit extreme, they don’t understandthat it’s not quite to the effect that girls get it done.“There’s nothing wrong with getting rid of a unibrow,”

Olu Orelaja, a junior in business management, saysThe Blue Water Spa is currently ranked No. 1 in Ra—

leigh by City Search and they provide the gentleman’sfacial where they focus on preventing ingrown hairs andrazor burn.Following the steam and exfoliation of the facial is a

massage of the face, shoulders, neck and upper back.They also offer safe and comfortable laser hair removal.'Their laser system is much faster than their competitors.With a laser spot size about the size of a quarter, theycan treat an entire back in less than 15 minutes.Most salons and barbershops in the Triangle offer col-or treatments to emphasize a man’s best facial features.

Getting highlights or frosted tips are pretty safe bets,but for a truly one-of—a-kind look try going to

DS Parada Color Cafe. The salon specializesin coloring and is nationally recognized.

Prices range from $30 to $90, so a tripis reasonably affordable. They

can even customize a color

MirnaWm rrtfibigmrfk'iyflfixtnnt““in: Ge}

that is just right for the client.But does all this vanity make a man less masculine?

Both guys and girls agree that the answer is no.“There’s nothing wrong with taking care ofyourself as

long as it’s not to the extreme,” Wilkins said.“The way you carry yourself determines masculinity,

not personal hygiene practices,” Rebecca Frazier, a ju-nior in English, says. i

It appears that guys haven’t taken to waxing and mani—cures as much here as they have in more metropolitanareas, but what about the hair and skin care products?“The men’s skin care line from Gillette is great for

guys,” Chris Navratil, a freshman in BMU, says. “It’sall in one, easy to use, and smells good. Guys naturallystink.”High—end brands found at department stores have

tapped in on the men’s products, as well. Anthony L0—gistics offers facial cleansers and toners starting at $16.Clarins, Clinique and Benefit are most popular for theirextensive lines of women’s beauty products, but theyhave created specialty men’s products as well.A man’s face really is different from a woman’s, but

hair is pretty much the same. Women do, however,spend hours teasing, blow drying, curling, straighten-ing and high—lighting. The only real hair problem menhave to worry about is bed head and frizz during thesecold winter months. So L’Oreal has created a full hair—care line just for men. With everything from shampoo,to mousse and gel, the product line helps men avoid the“bad hair day” baseball hat.But in order to really impress the ladies, it’s gonna take

more than a quick shower.“Guys can’t spend just two minutes getting ready,”

Navratil says. “Shower, shave, use after shave and co-logne. Axe is good for hanging around and going toclass, but not for going out. And definitely brush yourteeth.”

“It’s good that guys are taking better care ofthem-selves. We don’t want them to look and smell like aburn,” Frazier says.The moral of the story is that a man will

not become a transvestite simply by takingmore pride in his appearance. If Chercould see us now... maybe “swoon—ing” isn’t as far out of reach asshe thought.

“I expect triple-triples out ofhim,” Carolina Coach Roy Wil—liams said of his big man. “He’sgot such great hands, but theproblem is that everyone elsestands around and expects towatch him score.”Those onlookers became

double—digit scorers for Caro—lina, as senior guard and start-ing-lineup replacement MelvinScott chipped in 12 points, andforwards Jawad andMarvinWilliams — no relation had 15and 14 points for the Tar Heels,respectively. .State forward Cedric Simmons

worked to defend the masses ofTar Heel scorers by rejecting fourshots in 14 minutes ofplay, withthe fourth block leaving the ballat a standstill pinned against theglass and invigorating life backinto the crowd of more than19,000.“Ced can really jump, he gave

a great effort,” sophomore guardEngin Atsur said. “But like all ofus, we fell short tonight, and nowwe just have to go out and winthe next three.”Both teams exhibited the art

of free-throw perfection in thefirst half, as the Pack drained 8-of—8 from the line with the TarHeels adding six free throws oftheir own.State finished the game shoot-

ing an impressive 11-for— 12 at theline, but the Tar Heels earnedeven more bonus points with10 3—point baskets and 19 freethrows made. '“We changed our defense

down the stretch to get in thescenario where they would usesome time coming up the court,”Williams said. “We then wantedto pressure on the perimeter andlimit the amount of three’s theycould take.”Carolina capitalized off a

Pack streak of four turnoverswith consecutive 3—pointers bysophomore forward ReyshawnTerry and Scott”, part of a Tar'Heels long-range attack in thefirst half that furnished six 3—point baskets.

Scott drained three of thosebaskets from beyond the arc,including the buzzer beaterfrom the baseline over the out—stretched arms ofCollins, endingthe halfwith a five-point advantage on the road.Following a State timeout with

12 minutes remaining, the Packreceived a flourish of benchpoints from freshman AndrewBrackman, who scored eightstraight points for the red warriors with a cultivation ofhooksand 3 —pointers.“He gave us a huge lift off the

bench,” Sendek said. “He askedfor a sub after scoring those keypoints, and at that time we werecutting into the lead.”But in spite of the Brackman

boost, Carolina never allowedits lead to crumble by scoringafter each Brackman basket,maintaining a six-point advan-tage at the end of the forward’sscoring reign.With the needlepoint ap—

proaching State’s bubble for theNCAA tournament, the Packnow desperately needs threewins in a row, something thathasn’t happened since earlyDecember.“We needed this one,” Atsur

said.State will now enter a three—

coach Lisa Navas said. “Some—times she tries to just strike themout, and it puts us in a positionwhere we need to make plays de-fensively. However, she plays thesame the entire game, and that iswhat we like about her.”Ervin said after the game that

she felt she was missing her tar-gets by a few inches in the fourthinning.“In college, an inch inside or

an inch outside makes a prettybig difference,” Ervin said. “Youcan’t afford to let one inning af-fect the rest Ofyour game. I try to

channel [the bad moments] intoa mental toughness for the restOf a game.”Pack sophomore third base-

man ]en Chamberlin led theteam offensively. In the bottomOf the fourth, she destroyeda pitch from Campbell’s LexiMyers — sending the ball andthe center fielder over the chest-high fence. '“She has been outstanding,”

Navas said. “She has exceededmy expectations, and she doesa great job every game.”With a low-releasing pitcher

like Ervin, ground balls are go-ing to be common, and strongplay from the third base positionis critical.“She’s a wall over there,” Ervin

said. “I’m a thousand percentconfident she is going to makeevery play. As a pitcher, you wanta solid third baseman — she ismore than solid.”Entering the bottom ofthe sev-

enth in a 3-3 tie, Ervin reachedfirst with a grounder that splitthe diving third basemen andshortstop Of Campbell. An Al-lison Cuculich bunt advanced

Ervin to third, and then withno outs, a Miranda Ervin walkfilled the bases.Navas then made the call to

pinch hit for struggling ReneeLaCrOiX, who is hitting .219 onthe season, for Abbie Sims.A Sims pop-up was the

inning’s first out. Navas thensent in Jennifer Patterson, whois hitting .333 on the season, forJessica Willems.A Patterson fly that landed in

shallow left field brought in thego-ahead run and ended thegame 4-3.

State wins 1,000th game at Doak Field

Michael BreedloveStaffWriter

In 1966, Doak Field opened on N.C.State’s campus to house one of themost successful teams in the ACC.Thirty—nine years, 741 wins and

1,000 games later, Doak Field stillstands proudly in the shadow of LeeHall. Those looking back, however,might not recognize the revived ballpark. «After a receiving a $6 million face—

lift, complete with a new press box,concessions stand and an indoor bat-ting cage, many changes have beenmade to the ballpark.In fact, the only thing that seems

not to have changed is the success ofthe team playing in it.State Coach Elliot Avent, a man

whose sprightly character yields

more one-liners than a Rodney Dan-gerfield flick, initiallyjoked about thesignificance of the game.“Oh that [the 1,000th game] was

today, wasn’t it? I had forgotten allabout that.” Avent said.Avent would later add that he’s

proud to be a part of the history ofDoak field, there are plenty of oth-ers previously involved in WolfpackAthletics who are just memorableas him.Avent’s current team made sure the

day was memorable for everyone, asit trounced the Tribe from William& Mary 10-4.Both teams went scoreless in the

first two innings, as State felt its wayaround William & Mary startingpitcher Sean Sosonko.The left—handed freshman carried

a dynamite curveball in his arsenal,

$55,368”

bending its way all over home plate.Then in the bottom ofthe third in—

ning, Sosonko’s reliable curve startedfailing him, as it bended its way allover the Wolfpack’s bats.With one out, State shortstop Ion-

athan Diaz floated a single into left'field. Then Caleb Mangum, makinghis first start at catcher, hammereda two-out double that would sendDiaz home for the first run of theball game.Then, to the tune of Metallica’s

“Fuel,” San Jose State transfer AaronBates came up to bat. The song is fit-ting in itself, since Bates has fueledthe Pack’s offense thus far, batting.412 with 13 RBIs. Bates fuel todaycame in the form of an RBI single tomake the score to 2—0.

“I just try and put good swings onthe ball,” Bates said. “If I just play

1;

hard, that stuff [success] takes careof itself.”The Pack also got great production

from third baseman Matt Devine.Playing in his first healthy seasonfor the Pack, Devine is providing aspark on both sides of the ball.After making a lunging catch on

third base, Devine stepped to theplate in the fourth inning.With two runners on base, he

smashed a fastball over the left fieldwall to push the State lead to 6-0.Coach Avent said that he’s happy

to see Devine, who went 2-for—3 onthe day, do well because he knows theeffort he put in to bettering himselfas a baseball player.“Matt Devine is just playing so

well right now,” Avent said. “He
