A toppling structure killedone of the construction workersit was supporting and injuredtwo others at the Carter-FinleyStadium press box constructionsite on Monday.The incident killed Iuan

Zapeda, 28, while working ona column that will support thenew press box addition to thestadium.He and the two other workers

were working on the rebar rein-forcing before pouring concrete,when the structure fell over.Federal labor standards require

that the workers properly at-tached themselves to the columnwith safety equipment.

It is unknown what caused thecolumn to topple. The incidenthappened around noon at thewest side of the stadium nearGate C off Trinity Road.Wake County EMS and the Ra-

leigh Fire Department respondedand pronounced Zapeda dead atthe scene. Responders trans-ported the other two workers toRex Hospital. Both victims wereconscious and alert. Their identi—ties will not be released until theirnext of kin are notified.Zapeda’s brother, who worked

with him at the construction site,identified the body. The brotheris the only next of kin living inthe United States.The City/County Bureau of

Investigation photographedthescene to make sure there was noViolation of OSHA regulations,according to Sgt. Ion Barnwell ofCampus Police.The trio worked for Turner

Construction Company thecompany building the new pressbox. As of yet, there is no officialword from Turner Construc—tion about the incident, butthe regional safety coordinatorwill inspect the scene and givea statement.Campus Police is treating the

incident as an accident.“This is the first fatality on a

construction site on campus,”Barnwell said.This is the third death that

has occurred on campus in thepast two months. In February,a body was found in the woodson Western Boulevard and onSunday, a man unaffiliated withthe university jumped from CoxHall in an apparent suicide. Ma—jor construction has been ongo-ing on campus due to the 2000bond referendum, but Carter—Finley is seperately funded bythe Wolfpack Club.

Diverse dialogue

aims to educate

MELIH ONVURAL/IEC NICIANStudents, faculty and staffjoined in during the second campuswidediversity dialogue.The group split up and then came together topresent their findings. A group of students is displaying their find-ings in the picture.

Ideas explored to increasestudents’ awareness ofdiversity.

Brigid RansomeStaffReporterThe goal of Monday’s campus

dialogue, as outlined by JosePicart, vice provost for Diversityand African-American Affairs,was to promote campus con-versation, inform and educate,enhance and respect inclusive—ness, and, in essence, engage in ‘educating the population.Faculty, staff and students

gathered in the Campus Cinemato delve into themes of diversitythat affect N.C. State’s campus.Topics were explored in sub—

sets of the larger group thatall carried a healthy spirit ofproductivity and eagerness tolearn and implement change.The overarching theme dealtwith how to prepare students tolive and work in an inclusive and

diverse world.This theme focused on the

need to retain academic free—dom and provide studentswith the discipline and Specificknowledge they need to achievesuccess in their chosen field ofstudy.In his opening remarks, Picart

issued questions that also fusedwith the main theme of thediscussion.He challenged the audience to

investigate the question, “As acommunity the values diversity,how can we address the chal—lenges of providing diversitytraining for faculty and staf .”Prior to the division ofthe en-

tire audience into smaller units,Picart advocated a call to chal-lenge the ideas presented andnot the person, by which theyare imparted. “The goal here isto explore diverse ideas and assuch there will not be complete,agreement,” Picart said.

MATT HUFFMAN/TECHNICIANJose Picart,the vice provost for diversity and African-American affairs, listens to the cadets at West Point ask questions of the soldiers in Iraq onMonday morning in the Parks Shops conference room.

Kate RennerStaffReporter

Students were able to com-municate live via videoconfer-ence with soldiers in Baghdadfrom a classroom in the ParksShops yesterday morning. Thisthree-hour event kicked offHuman Rights Week. A video

downlink allowed participants tospeak with soldiers stationed inIraq about Post—War Iraq condi—tions.“After the war broke out in

Iraq some West Point professorsthought it would be a good ideafor a professional developmentleadership course for cadets atWest Point to make contacts

with recent graduates in Iraq,”lose Picart, vice provost for Di-versity and African-AmericanAffairs, said.

Picart came to NC. State fromWest Point where he was a profes—sor during the Persian Gulf War.The conference consisted of a

split screen television with West .Point cadets on the right and US

lieutenants stationed in Iraq onthe left.“This affords an opportunity

for cadets to ask questions onwhat being a leader is like, sinceafter graduating most of thesestudents will be commissionedto lieutenants and leaders,”IRAQ see page 4

Press box construction underway

Renovation funded by, the Wolfpack Club willprovide media, suites andClub seating.

Kenneth BallStaijeporterConstruction crews demol—

ished the old press boxes atCarter—Finley stadium on Sat-urday, March 13 to make wayfor the construction of brandnew facilities in the West Con—course area.In place of the press boxes,

N.C. State’s Wolfpack Club isoverseeing the design, buildingand funding of the new Wolf-pack Towers complex.The complex will include not

only media and game operation

facilities, but also suites and club—level seating for Wolfpack fans.According to Bobby Purcell,

Wolfpack Club executive direc-tor, Carter—Finley’s previouspress box facilities were in needof renovation.“The press box was really

outdated, too small and did nothave the amenities needed foreither the media or the univer-sity,” Purcell said. “Plus it was avisual detriment to the stadium,it did not fit the new look of thestadium.”The completion date for the

SSS—million renovation projectis not until 2005.However, according to Purcell,

the stadium will have the facilitiesto operate during the upcoming2004 football season.“We will be able to use a portion

of the press box for this comingseason, but not all of it,”.Purcellsaid.“We will be utilizing the Mur—

phy Center and the field house toaccommodate what’s not able tobe done in the partially-finishedpress box,” he said.Wolfpack Towers will not only

provide improvements to Carter—Finley stadium, but will also be asource of revenue for the univer-sity’s athletic program.“The project will produce in~

come that will supplement theDepartment ofAthletics’ operat—ing fund once the building is paidfor,” Purcell said.The press box area is not the

only area in Carter—Finley thatwill undergo changes.

U.S. CRITICIZES KILLING OFHAMAS LEADER

After initially hesitating, the Bushadministration criticized Israel onMonday for killing Sheik Ahmed Yassin,a founder of the militant Palestiniangroup Hamas."We are deeply troubledby this morning's incident in Gaza,”theWhite House spokesman said.The criticism appeared to reflect

both concern for the already troubledU.S. peace effort in the Middle Eastanda judgment that the Bush administra-tion should reassure European and Arabgovernments that its support for Israelis not limitless.

Administration officials said theyhad no advance warning of the kill-ing, which has raised fears of possibleretaliation against the United States.Hamas directly threatened the UnitedStates — something it usually does notdo - saying America’s backing of Israelmade the assassination possible.

Edensruns unopposed

CANDIDATE: Anna EdensCLASS: JuniorMAJORIS): BiologyACTIVITIES:Park ScholarJudicial Board Assistant, Nov.03—presentMember of Inter-collegiate Eth-ics Bowl TeamOutreach co—chair officer forNCSU’s Habitat for HumanityVolunteer for WakeMed Chil-dren’s Emergency DepartmentCo-founder and current vicepresident of March of DimesCollegiate Council

The person who takes thereins of the Judicial Board nextyear will have plenty of work todo. The student chiefj ustice willoversee the training of almost anew staff and will still need 'tohire more members in the fall.Barring a cataclysmic event,Anna Edens will the person todo that job. Edens is runningunopposed to lead one—thirdof Student Government for thenext school year.

“It will be my job to educatepeople about the benefit ofhaving a student—led judicialboard instead of faculty oradministrators making thedecisions,” Edens said. Sev—eral faculty members sit on theboard, but students handle thecases, run the process and alsohelp prepare the claimants andrespondents for the hearings.While Edens has been on the

judicial board for more thana year and was promoted to ajudicial assistant last November,she still had to complete a littleextra paperwork to run for theposition because all studentchief justice candidates aresupposed to have completedtwo full semesters as a judicialassistant. However, Edens sub—mitted a position paper thatoutlined her goals, the aspectsof the board that she wanted tomaintain and change and why

,she was qualified to the Officeof Student Conduct and wasaccepted as a candidate, andnow she is looking forwardto the challenges of taking ona major role within StudentGovernment.She came to NC. State from

Dalzelo, S.C., after winningthe Park Scholarship, but herparents had already paved theway. Her father attended NCSUfor its agriculture program, andher mother graduated fromMeredith College.“There’s always been that Tri-

angle connection,” Edens said.“It’s true about Meredith girlsmeeting NC State boys.” She isglad that she came to NCSU.

“It’s out of state, it’s new, it’sdifferent, but I’m still closeenough to home that there isstill a comfort level there.”

Q&A

TECHNICIAN: What kind ofperson needs to fill the studentchief j ustice position?EDENS: It needs to be some—

body who has experiencewith the board, who fullyunderstands the mission andthe importance of having astudent—led board hear thecases of students. It also needsto be somebodywho has criticalthinking skills and good judg—ment, and the ability to putaside any kind of preconceivedstereotypes, to be able to fullyanalyze all the different aspects ‘of the situation. Because deci—

ences; Tia Doxey, the residence.life coordinator for Lee Hall;and Janet Howard, the direc—tor of the Office of Diversity ofAfrican American Affairs, werethe facilitators for the studentsession.All the groups individually

discussed what they thoughtthis campus needed to see interms of providing diversitytraining in'all facets of livingand learning at NCSU. Inthe session lead by Leach shenoted, “We need a differenttype of exposure that takes usout of our norm, whatever ournorm may be.”Students in this group pro-

posed having study abroad,co-op’s or the national studentexchange as requirements in thecurriculum. This would makeit"rnandatory that students ex-perience holistic cross cultural

lead to improved traffic flow forpedestrians in the stadium.Kevin Siegel, a freshman in

aerospace engineering and amember of the NCSU videog—raphy staff, spent much of histimeduring the 2003 footballseason in the old press box.“The only thing that I can

think of that was really wrong

sions can’t be made lightlywhen youre talking about thepossibility of a student beingsuspended or expelled. A goodstudent chief justice would beable to ask questions, to fullyunderstand all of the factorsthat have caused that studentto be Where they are.

TECHNICIAN: You have almosta new board for next year. Howdo you plan on training them intime to make good decisions?EDENS: Judicial board is

going to be a very unique op—portunity, and while it mayseem very daunting at firstbecause we will have a brandnew student chief justice, sixbrand new assistants (whichis all of our assistants), and we ‘have 12 new board membersand we’ll also have a fall selec-tion process to pick even morenew board members. So whilethis is a fresh new group whichfaces challenges of not havingas much senior leadership, it’salso a great opportunity tomake sure everyone is on thesame page and that everyoneis working towards the samegoal. The way I’d like to trainis by having our first trainingday for those who were selectedthis past month, there will bea training day for them onMarch 27, and that will get ournew group situated. We will alsobegin selecting new assistantsfrom the current pool of mem-bers and hopefully have themtrained to start serving in thesummer. The way that we planto train them is to have themwork very closely with the cur—rent group of assistants. To findout from those assistants whatworked for them, what skillsthey would like to pass on. We’regoing to have six new commit—tees that are all being led by newpeople, so we’re going to have tomake sure that there is a fluidtransmission of information

experience.Other groups investigated the

importance of languagediver-sity and intercultural activities,while others pondered thoughtabout having different type oflearning strategies with a focuson stronger peer interaction.One of the student groups,

strongly voiced how importantit is to still maintain small classsizes, and how the magnitudeof learning environment Canimpede on the functions ofmaintaining a diverse atmo-sphere.Following the hour long pe-

riod which the various sessiOnsspent in interactive discussions,they re-grouped to present ideasand evaluate the merits of theissues raised.“This event took the dialogue

to another level, I was very im—pressed by its approach,” Mital

with it was that it was really old,”Siegel said. “Other than that, itserved its purpose.” Nonethe—less, Siegel looks forward tocompletion of the new pressfacilities. “The Murphy Centerfacilities are just great, and whenthey finish bowling in the fieldand adding the new press box,we will have an extremely nice

from the old committee headsand the new assistants. It will bean ongoing training process, butat the same time, I think it willbe effective in keeping everyoneon the same wavelength aboutthe mission they’re trying to ac-complish with judicial board.

TECHNICIAN: Do you have theexperience to do this job sinceyou didn’t meet the originalqualifications?EDENS: I would say so because

the original qualifications wereto have two full semesters [as ajudicial assistant], and I’ve hadone full semester and part of asemester that I knew I was goingto be taking on the role. That’sthe problem, we didn’t have anycases at the end of the semes—ter, so I couldn’t start. And soI definitely didn’t have the fullsemester, which I understand,but I don’t think you can saysomeone is qualified just be—cause they have a set number ofcases. I think someone could siton a set number of cases as anassistant and still not quite un-derstand the skills necessary tobe a good student chief justice.So I think that because I tooksuch an interest right away asan assistant and worked hard tocompensate for not having thetwo full semesters and workedhard to talk to the Office ofStudent Conduct about whatwould be expected, to talk toformer chief justices abouttheir roles and to really makesure that I knew what I was get-ting into. I’m qualified because Ihave a clear vision of what I canbring to the role. Because I havethe support of my peers withinthe judicial board and even thesupport of the administrationthrough the Office of StudentConduct that we’re really goingto have a successful year next

A year. I don’t think my length ofservice prior to this will be anytype of hindrance.

Patel, a senior in computer sci-ence, said. “It’s ironic that wetalked about small class sizesand that is what this campus-dialogue did today.”Picart said he was pleased

with the event.“I felt that the dialogue was

very successful and productivein the small groups,” he said.According to Picart, the

next course of action will beto produce a document andshare with the community andengage specific parts of thiscommunity in how changescan be implemented.He stressed that the key is

to work with. the community,and for everyone to be agentsof change.“We can’t turn to one person

and expect them to do every?thing, we all have to share theresponsibility,” he said.

Picart said.“This was particularly timely

with the year anniversary of war.This conference gives students achance to see what it is like forsoldiers in Iraq,” Laura Oseg-ueda, chair of Human RightsWeek Committee, said. “Mostlieutenants are recent graduatesfrom colleges across the country,schools like NC. State.”The cadets of West Point had

a large interest in the lives of thesoldiers in Iraq because most ofthese cadets will also be stationedoverseas in about a year.Soldiers in Iraq answered a va—

riety of questions about life anddeath, motivation, preparationand interactions with civilians.The names of the soldiers can—not be disclosed due to the natureof the discussion.The forum opened up when

a West Point cadet asked howsoldiers deal with other soldiers’deaths.One lieutenant said that when

the first person from your bat—talion died in Iraq it was a turn-ing point. ’“You don’t want to sit around

and think and become de-pressed,” he said. “You can thinkabout it when you get home, butwhen you’re here you’ve got to get .back on the horse and continuedoing raids and patrols.”Cadets asked soldiers questions

about preparedness. The soldiersall agreed that no training in thearmy prepared them for whatthey do in Iraq.“The basics you learn apply

here, but we weren’t trained fordoing raids and patrols stuff,” onesoldier said.Another soldiers wished he had

been in better physical shape.“I haven’t had a day off since

May 11. That’s a long time to gowithout a break while staying ingood physical shape,” he said.The forum gave soldiers a

chance to reassure West Pointcadets and to bolster their frameof mind.“Back at West Point if someone

had told me I’d be deployed as aplatoon leader in Iraq, I’d be ter—rified, counting the Friday nightsI’d be missing,” one soldier said.“Now that I’m here I wouldn’ttrade this leadership opportunityfor the world.”Soldiers discussed the Iraqis’

view of the war, which rangedthe full spectrum.“Some cute little kids come up

to us on the streets and want topractice their English by repeat-ing the phrase, ‘No Saddam,Bush good,’ yet other civiliansshake their fists at us,” one sol—dier said.Most soldiers agreed that they

have a tough time understandingthe Iraqi culture.“They [Iraqi people] drive me

crazy some times. I’ve been here ayear and I still and will never un-derstand their culture, it bogglesmy mind,” one frustrated soldiersaid.The soldiers were willing to

share some of their strategies ofeveryday life in Iraq.

“I never thought I’d be memo—rizing trash on the road, but whena new piece oftrash pops up, ninetimes out of 10 it’s a bomb,” a sol-dier said.Another soldier said, “The fact

that we don’t have a set dailyschedule keeps the enemy fromruining our patterns by attack-ing us.”The forum gave students and

West Point cadets a larger per-spective on the lives of those.fighting for our country. Theturnout for the conference wasvery low.

“It is so cold outside and every-one is still depressed about thebasketball game that it was hardto get the word out,” Oseguedasaid.Antonious Iskander, a junior

in computer engineering, cameto the forum because he is takingan Arabic language class.

“I am interested in the com—munication and technology ofour time,” Iskander said.“Hopefully, in the future, more

students will come out to get apeek behind the curtain of Iraq,”Picart said. “The media oftendisrupts the intimacy of such anexperience; this [teleconference]is another aspect of communi—cating without the media andpublicity.”

UltravisitorSquarepusher(Warp)****/2

Pure electronic madness, Square-pusher’s latest album delivers sonicschizophrenia rivaling even thenoises in my head.There is so much sound packed

into this one little disk that I’mamazed the little plastic cases thathold it don’t blow up when youtake the shrink wrapping off.Each song starts with a simple

drum track that steadily builds upinto a crazy hodgepodge of synthsand programmed drums, littleelectronic ticking noises and stuffthat sounds like a microphonestrapped to a slinky sent flop-ping down the stairs - picture thesound!Just before all this craziness

brings you to the brink of mad-ness, right before the dog startsto talk to you, the song has whatalcoholics refer to as a moment ofclarity. All the seemingly randomnoises come together to makesomething beautiful. Not beauti—ful like Beethoven’s “5th,” but dirtybeautiful. Something that withoutall the craziness that came beforeit would, alone, sound like some—thing ugly. Beautiful, but still kindof crazy. Now, to me, it just doesn’tget much better than that.

I will admit that sometimes itis too much. All that wild lunacybringing me to the brink of mad-ness sometimes just goes aheadand kicks me off. When I startdrooling and making baby noisessomeone has to come and turn theCD player off and rescue me.“Ultravisitor” shows that both

schools of production, played andprogrammed, can live in relativeharmony together. There is even anexcited, clapping crowd, to blur thelines between a studio album and alive show. It’s obvious, though, thatit’s sampled in, you don’t hear anybaby noises or that incomprehen-sible wailing of psychos that youwould hear at least 20 or 30 peoplemake during a Squarepusher show.

If you’re into Autechre, AphexTwin or Prefuse 73 check outSquarepusher’s “Ultravisitor.” Ifyou have no idea what any of thosebands sound like, listen to this al-bum first. It’s not for everyone.

Stone, Annie and Irons sat havingmorning coffee outside Les Deux Ma-gots and watching the summer tour—ing crowd walk the streets of Paris. Itwas the end of June; two months hadpassed since their encounter with theCossack’s spies in the city. The womanwho had impersonated Renarde hadn’treturned, and the man who had imper-sonated Edwards was being held at theAmerican embassy pending extraditionto the United States for his trial. Theteam had learned the location of theCossack’s headquarters from his inter—rogation: a ruined castle in the Car-pathians, well known to the natives inthe area. Now the three awaited clear-ance from the Bureau of Intelligence toreconnoiter the castle. They had beenstagnating in Paris since April, keepinga low profile after having discoveredthat there was no investigation into thekidnapping of Dr. Henri de Matteau ——in fact, there hadn’t been a kidnappingor a Dr. Matteau at all.Stone drained his cup of coffee in

one long, slow sip. “What have you twodone this morning?”Annie pulled an ancient-looking,

heavy book from her rucksack and satit on the table. “I did some legwork inthe library,” she said while she flippedthrough the pages. “My French ispretty bad - learned a little from theseCanadian furriers, you know but lookhere.” She tapped a large illustrationspread across two pages of the book.“It’s a floor plan of the Cossack’s castle.The thing has been practically rubblefor a couple of centuries now - mostof the structures’ ceilings have fallen in- and as far as I was able to find out, theland is privately owned, but I couldn’tget deed information. The languagebarrier is too strong.”“Good work, Annie,” Irons said. “We

know the place exists, at least, and nowwe have some idea of the layout. Itdoesn’t make sense, though.”“What do you mean?” Stone asked.“Well,” Irons began, pushing his

glasses back up the bridge of his nose,“I asked our bureau liaison at the em~bassy for any information availableon the thefts and kidnappings relatedto the Cossack. As we all know, it’s allbeen rocket technology for the missileattack, but why would he kidnap as—tronomers? It doesn’t make sense.”“What does that have to do with the

castle?” Annie asked.“I got in contact with the French Na—

tional Observatory and... it’s not good.Two of the missing researchers are Pol-ish astronomers who were studying thepossibility of launching a vessel intoorbit around the planet.”Stone scoffed. “Impossible. Are you

suggesting that the Cossack is going toall this trouble over the pipe dream ofspace travel?”Irons looked at Stone blankly. “You

mean our government hasn’t started aprogram for it yet? I made the recom—mendation two years ago. At any rate,”he said as he produced three webbedbelts with a variety of pouches onthem, “I rigged these up from some ofmy equipment last night. You’ve gotthe usual survival gear — rations, a com-

pass, a knife, matches, you know — witha miniature gas mask, a more powerfulversion of our transmitter earpieces,and a few other surprises I need tobrief you on.”“Good work, both of you. Now, with

Agent Edwards’ help - the real AgentEdwards — I’ve arranged for us to betransported to a Village a few milesoutside of the region where this castlelies. As soon as we get back to the hotel,we need to be ready to leave within the

hour.” He pushed away from the tableand stood to leave when Annie spoke.“You don’t waste any time, do you?

Before you get yourself in a hurry, Jake,is there anything else you want to tellus? Because between your extortionand getting us caught up in that bizarredouble—crossing when we got here, I’mnot so sure me and Irons ought to trustyou.” Irons gave her a worried glance,but Annie’s eyes were fixed on Stone.“80? What’s it going to be?”Stone sighed wearily and pulled a

manila folder from his jacket. “I’mafraid the mission has gotten evenstranger. The spy we captured was car—rying propaganda material for recruit—ing anti-American sympathizers intothe Cossack’s army.”“Expatriate ingrates,” Irons said dis-

dainfully.“Army?” Annie asked. “What do you

mean?”“According to the spy, the Cossack

maintains a force of about 200 men.We can take that to mean that his baseof operations will be heavily guarded,which means our reconnaissance willhave to be done with the utmost care.”He opened the envelope and pulled alarge photograph from it. “We foundthis photo in the propaganda. I don’tknow What to make of it, but this Cos-sack character... he’s no ordinary man.”He dropped the photo onto the

table, and the other two looked at itwith expressions of disbelief. The im—age showed a tall, imposing man cladin a uniform of regal authority, muchas might be expected in a propagandaphoto, but for one notable difference:The Cossack’s face (if it could be calledthat) was a grinning skull with anunearthly quality that disquieted thegroup just looking at it.“Good God,” Irons whispered.Annie picked up the photograph, un—

able to take her eyes off it, her handsshaking with unease. “lake... What inthe world does this mean?”Stone shook his head. “I don’t

know. The bureau says that there isno evidence that the photo has beenretouched. Dr. Irons, you mentionedsomething about space travel... ?”Irons looked at Stone in confusion,

but awareness broke over his face in awave of fear. “You can’t be serious.”Stone shook his head again. “I didn’t

say anything. But I recommend we goback to the hotel at once and prepareto catch our transport. We can’t riskthe Cossack taking flight.” He glancedup toward the sky. “He might go some-where we can’t follow.”To be continued in chapter 10: FirstContact!

A SEASON FOR THE BOOKSINAPPRECIATIONzTHE WOLFPACK MEN’SBASKETBALL TEAM MAY HAVE FALLENSHORT OF A SWEET 16 BID, BUT IT MADE'A STATEMENT TO THE ACC AND THE NA—TION NOT TO COUNT OUT THE LONGSHOT. ‘s

The basketball season started out withanticipation and uncertainty.The Wolfpack had lost stellar players

Anthony Grundy and Archie Miller andClifford Crawford over the past twoyears, but it only forced seniors MarcusMelvin, Scooter Sherrill and junior Ju-lius Hodge to step up and lead the teamthrough the ACC.As the season started, no one thought

the Wolfpack would be second in theACC and make it to the NCAA Tourna—ment again — the third year in a row.The “Fire Herb” naysayers were still as

vocal as ever.Throughout the first half of the sea—

son, the Pack waxed and waned, withwins against non—conference opponents

like Howard and Hartford and lossesto Michigan and South Carolina. Butthe conference games were Where it allcounted.In the end, the Wolfpack ended up

20-9 for the season and 11—5 in the ACC»— the toughest basketball conference inthe country.Not bad for a team that has been on

and off for the longest time.With a comeback win against Wake

Forest and a big win over then-No.1Duke, NC. State proved it wasn’t outof the contest yet, and the nation sat upand took notice.The momentum was there and the

passion on the court and in the standswas at a fever pitch.But with disappointing losses against

UNC and Maryland in the ACC Tour—nament, the Pack had to rethink itsstrategy.

In the end, however, the wins wereenough to earn a No.3 in the Big Dance.Now, after a rough Win against UL—La—

fayette and a bitter loss against Vander—bilt, the Pack’s season is over, but thereare many reasons to be proud.Julius Hodge was voted ACC Player of

the Year and is set to have a stellar seniorseason next year should he return.And Herb Sendek finally got the atten—

tion and recognition he deserved as hewas chosen as ACC Coach of the Year.Sendek’s quiet, intellectual style maynot make him as exciting as fans wanthim to be, but he is arguably the mostprepared coach in the conference and hegets the job done.Many view how far a team goes in theNCAA Tourney as the deciding factoron a winning season, but it all comesdown to how hard a team plays and thenumbers in the win column.The Pack has had a solid winning sea-

son and the fans have followed faithfullythrough the ups and downs. Anotherexciting season is over, and we can’t waitfor next year.Thanks guys.

Voter choice in November is

key to campaign strategy

Robert Iailall wonders what John Kerry would bring to the White House, and ifthat’s what/America needs.President Bush finally stepped into

the fray, launching new attacks on,John Kerry to stem his recent loss inpopularity. The ads decry Kerry as

“wrong on taxes,wrong on de—fense” and ques-tion his resolveto defend Amer—

‘ ica. As PresidentBush takes thegloves off, onegets the sense that

Robert we are in store forJailall one of the mostStaffColumn/st VICIOUS pI‘eSIdCIl-tial campaigns in

a long time.The Bush team has proven itself ad-

ept at the smear campaign, savagingJohn McCain in the Republican pri—maries four years ago, while upendingGeorgia war veteran Max Clelandin the Senate, casting him as soft ondefense. Despite this previous success,Bush’s attacks on Kerry may not havethe same success because the contextin which the campaign is developingfundamentally alters the soundness ofthe attack strategy.Last week’s fusillade by the Bush

team can essentially be characterizedas playing on the fears of citizens.The ads do this by contrasting Bush’sconcrete policy positions (thereby le-veraging the advantage of the incum—bent) to Kerry’s largely theoreticalproposals. The second facet of Bush’sattacks focuses on the war on terror-ism, which the Bush team would liketo become the keystone issue of thecampaign. Combining uncertaintyover what Kerry actually plans to dowith fear of future terrorist attacks,the Bush team has created what ithopes the be a powerful package ofattacks that will convince voters to

. stay with the incumbent in this next

election.The problem with this attack pack—

age is that the choice it presents tovoters is inappropriate for this year’selections. The choice Bush offers—— security versus uncertainty— isnot the choice voters are seeking. Thecurious resilience of John Edwards inhis bid for the democratic nomina-tion demonstrates this difference inpoint of View. The Edwards campaignwas notable for itsunwavering posi— cc .tive message with If the BUSh méssage nextfour years Willdetailed policy pro- IS not progresswe, 1t ll: dllfffrent rom

economy and thewar on terror, voters are looking for achange from the current situation be—cause the Bush administration’s suc-cess on these issues thus far is dubi—ous. The administration has preachedtax cuts and received them in the pre-vious three years, but rewards com—mensurate to the cuts have not reallymaterialized. As a result, voters facethe curious reality of Gross DomesticProduct being a leading indicator forjob growth.Similarly, it is also difficult for voters

to assess whether the country’s invest-ments into the war on terror haveproduced commensurate rewards.With Iraq as the focal point for thewar, perceived returns from the waron terror go down as Iraq’s futureremains uncertain and as the Iraqproblem is more and more revealedto be tangential to the problem of ter—rorism.When voters look at this snapshot

reasonable to expect that they wouldlook to change this situation in No-vember. The common question raisedduring presidential campaigns is “Areyou better off now than you werefour years ago?” However, the ques-tion for this year’s campaign is “Willyou be better off four years from nowthan you are today?” Because Bush’sposition emphasizes security overuncertainty, it offers no real changes

in policy to give anyindication that the

change over the nextfour years. It is im-portant to note that

Kerry does not have to prove that hisplans will improve the reality votersface. It is common sense to think thatfour more years of the same policywill not lead to a different outcome.Hence, by simply being different fromBush, Kerry offers the possibility thatthe next four years will not be like thelast.By trying to frame the campaign

as a choice between certainty anduncertainty, the Bush administrationis gambling that the choice voters seein their minds is not between inertiaand change. Unfortunately for theBush team, the early indications arethat voters are indeed looking forsomething different over the nextfour years. If the Bush message is notprogressive, it will likely be one towhich voters will not subscribe comeNovember.Email Robert at ,viewpoint@technicianstaff.com.

A policy that

discriminates

Student Media Authority, through its new academic policy, is efifectiyelyshutting out an entire group ofstudents. Andrew Payne discusses theplight of these “third~class citizens.”

Attention please! May I have yourattention? Part time students are thirdclass citizens at NC. State. At least thatis according to the university’s Student

Media Author-ity, the studentgoverning boardthat overseas themedia’s financesand operationsincluding Techni—cian.In January of

2004, SMA ap—Andrew proved a policy toPayne limit media posi—Senior StaffCo/umnist tions, like newsand sports writers, opinion columnists,photographers and DJs, to only full-time students. The policy’s justifyingpreamble, “The Student Media atNorth Carolina State University realizethat the people putting out the publi—cations and broadcasting are studentsfirst and dedicated to the media sec-ond. Grades are an important indicatorof future success. And while there willbe time when the media will, out of ne—cessity, take priority, maintaining a fullcourse load and an at least average GPAare important.”The policy provides further explana-

tion. “All regular student employees ofthe Student Media shall maintain atleast a 2.25 grade point average [and]all regular student employees of theStudent Media shall be full—time stu—dents at NC. State University unless intheir final semester of study.”

I understand the minimum gradepoint average, which is common ina multitude of student activities andorganizations. If someone isn’t passingacademic muster they should not beallowed to devote valuable time ban—tering in opinion columns or playingeveryone’s favorite love song on theradio.But what is this crap about being a

full time student? (Note to my editor:Because I am a part—time Student, Ididn’t have the intellectual capacity tocome up with a better word than crap.Please excuse my class scheduling inad—equacies.) Although there are numer—ous stances against such a policy (don’tfret, I will get to them in a moment), Iwill first present the simplest and bestargument against why the proposedpolicy is flawed and why it will notstand once the appropriate administra—tors learn of it. Simply put —MONEYIPart-time students pay student fees.That’s right, when the tuition bill hitsthe mailboxes of part-time studentsthere is a charge for student activityfees. And if you want a detailed expla-nation, simply turn the bill over andthere you will see that $16.50 of thestudent fee charge goes to “defrayingthe costs of campus wide publications.”The $16.50 is for full—time students andis prorated for part—time students.As a result of paying mandatory

student fees, let’s look at some Of thethings you can do as a part—time stu-

dent: play intramural sports, act in aplay, attend a play, consult an attorney,sweat fat away in the gym, get tested forHIV/AIDS, check your e—mail, cheer ata basketball game, wait for, I mean, ridethe Wolfline, View a film and debate aspeakerBetter yet, a part——time student can

be elected student body presidentand serve as a voting member of theNCSU Board of Trustees. You knowthat group the one that decides howmuch to raise tuition and whether toexpel a student for violating the Codeof Student Conduct. Wow, those aresome big responsibilities, are we surethe NC. General Assembly intendedto have a part-time student doingthem? If they would have known theycouldn’t write an opinion column I amsure they Would have written the legis-lation differently.Let me quickly summarize the above

because many of my avid readers arepart-time students, and, as everyoneknows, they have mild forms of atten—tion deficit disorder. The only things apart—time student can’t do that a full-time student can are write something,take a picture or spin an album.Now let’s look at the other problems

with this flawed policy. First, manymembers of the current staffs of thestudent media are part—time students.If you eliminate part-time students,the newspapers may not print and theradio station may not be able to broad—cast. I think we would all agree Techni—cian news needs more reporters, notless. WKNC 88.1 FM, the campus radiostation, has a long—standing traditionof allowing alumni to fill airtime spotsthat are not filled by students. I guessnow we can look forward to listeningto DJ Computer as it spins the onesand twos. For you part—time students,that means playing records on a turn-table.But why would you want to eliminate

part-time students from the student .media? These students add diversityand a new perspective on events in theuniversity community.Part-time students, also known as

non—traditional students, may be a sin-gle mother, a laid—off worker learningnew skills or a “regular student” work-ing two jobs to pay their way throughschool.

If the student media is only madeup of full-time students, we know thatissues important to white males willdefinitely be covered.The new student status requirements

are scheduled to go into effect April 1.A word of caution to those who were

hoping that such a policy would re~move me from the newsstands or theairwaves —— come April 1, I’ll still becausing trouble in Technician and onWKNC. SMA here is a headline foryou— you are not the FCC and youwon’t be removing me.E-mail Andrew atviewpoint@technicianstaff.com.

day event ran — open practicesand team press conferences beganWednesday and games ended ear-ly Saturday evening -— and withthe strong ticket sales, Cobb andFowler both believe that State willbe a strong candidate to host fu—ture tournament games.

State already has put in a bid tohost the first and second roundsand/or a regional for 2007 and2008. The NCAA’s decision won’tbe known until the summer.“The big thing is not only did

it impact us this year, but we’rehoping that it have a positiveimpact for us to get another first

and second round or maybe evena regional in ‘07 or ‘08,” Fowlersaid. “From what little I talkedto the NCAA rep that was here,he said it was a wonderful eventand wonderful building and he’drecommend it in the highest tothe NCAA for future events. Sohopefully we did everything wecould do to not only put ourbest foot forward this time buthopefully get an opportunity atanother event.”Hosting a regional would mean

more media exposure for the cityand the RBC Center but probablyless financially, at least for State.The first and second round fea—tures twice as many games (six)as a regional and twice the op-portunity for fans to buy tickets,concessions and memorabilia.But a regional might impact

the city greater economically,especially if fans have to travel agreater distance and stay in hotelsfor a few nights.According to Scott Dupree, di—

rector of sports marketing for theGreater Raleigh Convention andVisitors Bureau, anywhere from2,000 to 4,000 hotel nights were

purchased in the greater Raleigharea by fans attending the NCAATournament in Raleigh.Though Dupree said he

wouldn’t know the officialnumbers until later this week,he estimated the total economicimpact of the tournament to bebetween $2 and $3 million forRaleigh businesses.

“I don’t have any reason rightnow to believe that’s not thecase,” said Dupree, who assistedNCSU by arranging hotels forthe eight teams in t0wn for thetournament. Dupree said hostinga men’s NCAA Tournament is al-most as big as it gets in Raleigh.“This is a major event for

our community and it had atremendous positive impact onour economy,” he said. “I’d loveit if NC. State, the RBC Centerand Raleigh could make it in‘the regular rotation and hostthe event every three to fouryears. It’s a win-win deal. It has amajor economic impact for ourcommunity and it gives a lot ofnational media exposure for ourarea in general and for the RBCCenter in particular.”

Artist Martin Handford reallyhad something when he came upwith the best—selling puzzle-book“Where’s Waldo?” in the late 19803.

Andrew B ing red andCarter . white hori-Deputy Sports Editor . zontal Str1P es.He must have

known thatstriped—men are damn near impos-sible to track down.

I should know.I spent the better part of Monday

attempting to reach Dave Libbey,another guy who wears stripes —though his are black and white andrun vertical. Problem is, ever sinceLibbey made a controversial inten-tional foul call on NO State’s Mar—cus Melvin in the closing momentsof the Wolfpack’s season-ending lossto Vanderbilt, he’s turned into vapor.You’d have a better chance of findingweapons of mass destruction in Iraqthan Libbey, an official who, in solidform, reffed the 1992 and 1996 na—tional championship games, as wellas one of the worst officiated gamesin NCAA Final Four history, the ‘2001 Duke—Maryland semifinal inwhich Terrapin center Lonny Baxterfouled out for inhaling.

I knew finding Libbey would bedifficult, especially considering themind—boggling gag order the NCAAputs on officials in tournamentgames. From what I understand, areferee could get prison time for dis-cussing a call.Nonetheless, my search began with

the NCAA offices in Indianapolis. Iasked a woman who answered thephone, who wouldn’t be named,how I could contact the individualin charge of men’s basketball of-ficiating. Over the next five minutes,I was forwarded five times to threedifferent people, none of whomknew anything.When I interviewed State athlet—

ics director Lee Fowler for anotherstory later in the day, I asked him forhis advice on how to contact Libbey.Before that, I asked if he could ex—plain the rules on why coaches can’tcomment on calls, especially sincePack coach Herb Sendek refused tocomment about several questionablejudgments that had large impacts onhis team’s loss.“No official, including myself, can

make anycomments to the publicabout officiating or a call or any-thing like that,” said Fowler, whoalso said the NCAA can hand outpunishments ranging from privatereprimands to suspensions to thoseviolating the code of silence.And about finding Libbey?“I would say you’d have trouble

getting in touch with officials,” hesaid.No kidding.Fowler did point me in the right

direction, however, suggesting for-mer NCAA official Hank Nichols,who reffed 10 Final Fours and sixnational championship games, in-cluding State’s win in 1983. Nichols,64, now serves as the national coor-dinator for men’s basketball officials

N.C. STATE MADE MORE THAN $200,000 BY HOSTING THE FIRST AND SECOND ROUNDS OFTHE NCAATOURNAMENT AND OFFICIALS HOPE THE TOURNEY RETURNS IN 2007 OR 2008.

Andrew B. CarterDeputy Sports Editor

Charlie Cobb owned a courtside seatfor the first and second rounds of theNCAA Tournament at the IBC Center,but at least twice during this past week—end’s action the tournament directorfor NCAA games in Raleigh venturedto the upper level of the arena.Cobb, who is NO State’s associate

athletics director for external opera-tions, wanted a different perspectivefrom what he saw by sitting at thescorer’s table. When he arrived in thearena’s upper reaches, Cobb foundhimself among the primary reasonsthat made NCSU a successful NCAATournament host: fans.“The thing that I was amazed with

NC. State garnered a lot of media coverage this past weekend for its role inhosting first- and second-round NCAA Tournament games.

a‘cross America, fans watching gamesbroadcast from the RBC Center sawa red block S at center court andthe words “NC. State” behind thebaselines. What’s more, according toState athletics director Lee Fowler, theNCAA was impressed with the way arookie host handled the numerousoperational tasks.“Whatyou truly realize when you do

something like this is that if it were justabout the basketball teams and coacheshow easy an event this would be,” Cobbsaid. “But because of what this animalis, all the other entities that come withit...it’s a job.”For starters, the RBC Center had to

be conformed to strict NCAA guide—lines by 5 pm. last Tuesday. Thatmeant most of the arena’s signage,

was the number of people walkingwith college T-shirts on represent—ing schools that weren’t even in our .bracket much less in this area,” Cobbsaid. “From Illinois, to Valparaiso, toMaryland. Obviously you see State,Carolina, Duke and Wake shirts, butthere were BYU shirts, Indiana shirts,Michigan. It’s kind of interesting towatch people who basically have noallegiance one way or another to theteams [present].”At several points during the second

half of Saturday’s second-round con-test between fourth-seeded Wake For—est and 12th-seed Manhattan, the RBCCenter rocked as the upset—mindedIaspers gave the Demon Deacons scareafter scare. Cobb turned to formerNC. State men’s basketball coach andathletics director Les Robinson and

expressed his delight.“I turned to Les and said, ‘This is

what makes the tournament so spe—cial,” Cobb said. “Half the people inthe building are Wake fans rooting forWake and the other half aren’t Man-hattan fans, but Manhattan’s playingwell and they’re just pulling for theunderdog.” .Robinson had to be just as ecstatic,

too. As State’s AD, he leaded the effortto land the RBC Center the NCAAbid.Not only was Cobb happy with the

on-court action, but he was even morepleased to have headed up a success—ful and, for the most part, mistake—freehosting effort. NC. State, which hadn’thosted an NCAA Tournament gamesince the East Regional came to Reyn—olds Coliseum in 1982, profited a little

more than $200,000 from hosting thefirst and second round this year.All of that money was a percentage

of the ticket sales, which sold out amonth in advance and netted about$2 million. Like NCSU, Gale ForceHoldings, the company that runs theRBC Center, also profited $200,000from ticket sales.Though a couple hundred grand

might not seem like a lot consideringState’s $31—million athletic departmentbudget, any bit helps, according toCobb. Cobb said the additional moneywould help fund special projects, suchas the completion of the Doak Fieldrenovations and the additions toCarter-Finley Stadium.More than the bottom line, hosting

a tournament earned the universitythe intangible benefit of exposure. All

including all advertisements visiblefrom the court, had to be covered.Any signs of the arena being hometo the Carolina Hurricanes, like theNHL banners in the rafters, had to beremoved or covered with black cloth.A giant media workroom grew underthe lower concourse, where things

_ like basketball goals and equipmentare normally stored. ‘Other behind-the-scenes work

included arranging hotels and trans-portation for all eight schools andcoordinating everything from policeescorts to notifying game officials ofassignments.“We had really glowing reports

from our staff and the RBC Centerstaff about how the tournament was
