Vendors, information booths, book sale offer ways to be “green”

Sarah WidneyStaff Writer

Earth Day celebrations were in full swing in the Brickyard Wednesday. Ven-dors and information booths provided students with information about how to live more sustainably, hybrid cars sat in front of the Atrium for people to inspect, local vendors from the Farmer’s Market sold their produce and other goods in front of the library and the Friends of the Library sold used books.

Raleigh Recycles and N.C. State Re-cycles set up tables to educate students about ways to reduce waste and increase recycling, incorporating games and giveaways into their presentation.

Students were pleased with the turn-out and thought the event was a great way to raise awareness about environ-mental sustainability.

Tim Trickel, a junior in nuclear engi-neering, said he was impressed with the number of vendors and the presence of the Farmer’s Market.

“I’ll definitely check it out. Maybe I’ll buy something,” Trickel said.

Sarah Peterson, a sophomore in bio-medical engineering and textile en-gineering, sold fake solar panels and drinks to raise money for projects done by Engineers without Borders.

“We’re working on two water purifi-cation systems, one in Bolivia and one in Sierra Leone,” she said. “We’re also working on a wind/solar hybrid wind-mill for Sierra Leone.”

Peterson said she saw the Earth Day festivities as a way to promote sustain-ability.

“It’s important to take care of the place we live,” Peterson said.

The vendors included Jim Ammons, a representative from Staples who pro-moted the eco-friendly products now offered by Staples, including green-seal certified chemicals and commercially

compostable break room products.Representatives from Staples passed

out samples of their compostable cups, plates, and silverware, as well as canvas tote bags.

Ammons said he was pleased with the student interest in Staples’ products.

“There have been a lot of questions about the products. Students are sur-prised that they can be composted,” Ammons said. “This is our second time coming to the Brickyard for Earth Day. There’s always good turnout, so we should be here next year.”

Students showed the most interest in the vendors from the Raleigh Farmer’s Market.

Sam Lee, a senior in civil engineering, said he saw the importance of students being involved in sustainability on cam-pus and in the community.

“I think it’s fantastic to have people from the Farmer’s Market here, espe-

cially since it was a student initiative,” Lee said.

Amanda Burgess, a freshman in First Year College, bought strawberries and spinach from the vendors from Wise Farms.

“I love it,” Burgess said. “We should have local food all the time. It’s lacking in my diet at school.”

Eric Ballard, a senior in agriculture communication, invited the vendors from the Farmer’s Market.

“This is a way for vendors to have a profitable venue and to educate students about local agriculture,” Ballard said.

“Education is the most important part.”Ariel Fugate, a freshman in wildlife

management, said she was also involved in the process of bringing the Farmer’s Market to the Brickyard.

“It’s been successful so far. We’ve had lots of faculty, and some students.” Fu-gate said. “It may be a weekly thing in the fall.”

Helen Wise and Gary Wise, from Wise Farms in Mount Olive, N.C., sold strawberries, tomatoes, spinach, aspara-gus, radishes and other produce in the Brickyard. Overall, they said they felt the sale went well.

“This helps us and them. It’s also good advertisement,” Wise said. “If it works out, maybe we can do it again.”

Another noticeable feature of the Earth Day festivities was the Friends of the Library used book sale, held under the large white tent in the Brickyard. Ethan Margolis, a senior in history, browsed the books in the sale.

“I love book sales. I always come to them, even if I’m not looking for any-thing specific,” he said. “It’s awesome

Destination for Library’s Creamery pro!ts uncertain

Earth Day event organizers aim to increase awareness of green innovations, environment

Shop unsure how revenue will be split three days after grand opening

Ty JohnsonStaff Writer

Students have been visiting D.H. Hill Library’s Creamery for three days, but the plans for its revenue are not yet permanent.

The Creamery, a joint venture between University Dining, the Department of Food, Biopro-cessing and Nutrition Sciences and D.H. Hill Library, was origi-nally a concept between the li-brary and the academic branch of the department, according to Gary Cartwright, coordinator of the food department’s dairy plant.

Rumors surfaced that Uni-versity Dining forced itself into the partnership, but Cartwright said involving University Din-ing was an easy decision made after discussion between the two departments.

“We knew it was appropriate to bring in Dining,” Cartwright said. “[Dining] knows how to run a food operation.”

Rumors that the inclusion of Dining in the project led to the exclusion of the Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutri-tion Sciences’ research into dairy and ice cream production aren’t

true, Cartwright said, though he said the idea was an option the project had discussed.

“We actually considered using [the Creamery] as a collection point for testing and sensory lab work,” Cartwright said. “But the Creamery is really concentrat-ing on high end ice cream and shakes.”

Cartwright said the revenue from the Creamery could even-tually lead to an annex that could provide the space neces-sary for the department to con-duct research, but for now, the Creamery was mostly a service for students.

“Anything that comes to our department we’re using toward building our annex.” Cartwright said.

Still, the issue of dividing rev-enue between the departments has gotten more difficult with University Dining aboard the project.

“Prior to [Dining] joining the partnership, we had talked about some resources coming back to the Library so we can maintain the quality of the environment,” Susan Nutter, vice provost and director of libraries administra-tion , said. “We’re still working out that arrangement for the Creamery and how this is all going to work.”

Nutter said the arrangement

between the Library and Din-ing with the Hill of Beans coffee shop is set up where the Library collects a portion of the store’s revenue, and Dining even shares in the upkeep of the location.

“Dining paid for the renova-tions and conducted them to our specifications,” Nutter said. “And they give us money each year that we put into a scholarship fund.”

Nutter said working with din-ing had been a beneficial part-nership for the Library, and said she hoped the relationship would continue to be as fruitful.

“We’ve had a good experience with dining and I would hope

to see that continue,” Nut-ter said, adding the library would like to use the revenue to maintain its facilities. “It has to continue because there is going to be a lot of wear and tear on the library, and we want to keep it fresh for the community.”

Nutter said she heard din-ing wouldn’t be able to share receipts in the same man-ner as it had with the Hill of Beans, but wasn’t sure if that was truly the case.

Meteorologists predict average number of storms this year Bobby EarleStaff Writer

Despite Wednesday’s winds, which left campus littered with tree branches that had been rat-tled down from the limbs, and the week’s back-to-back thun-derstorm predictions, a team of meteorologists say this year’s hurricane season will bring an average amount of storms to the coast.

“The Atlantic hurricane season for 2009 will be fairly average compared to the past 20 years,” Lian Xie said, “but compared to the past 50 years, the 2009 fore-cast will be above normal.”

Xie and Danny Modlin, both of whom work in the Department of Marine, Earth and Atmo-sphere Sciences, and Montserrat Fuentes at the Department of Statistics, have submitted the forecast for the 20 09 At la n-tic hurricane season, which starts June 1 and ends Nov. 30.

Xie and his colleagues antici-pate that there will be from 11 to 14 named storms, which include

hurricanes and tropical storms. Six to eight of those named storms will become hurricanes.

There is rough-ly a 70 percent chance that at least one tropi-cal cyclone will make landfall in the southeast-ern part of the United States, and there is a 45 percent chance that the storm that hits land

The electric car was part of the SMART challenge and was converted from a gasoline drivetrain by high school students. “I’m not go-ing to sacri!ce comfort for something like that car,” Hall said.

“I don’t know if that’s a new model,” Nutter said, “but I’m very optimistic that we can work this out.”

Nutter stressed the purpose of the project had never been about money for the library.

“We didn’t go into it with the idea of making money,” she said. “We went into it because it was a department that would highlight an area where N.C. State shines.”

The issue of dividing the funds is still not settled as students enter the first week of exams. David Hiscoe, the director of NCSU Libraries, said the deci-sion to open the Creamery early may have been due to Nutter’s intent to have graduating seniors benefit from the new location.

“Susan Nutter wanted to make sure the students who were graduating this semester were able to try it out,” Hiscoe said.

Randy Lait, director of Uni-versity Dining, said though the store is in its fourth day of operation there was no rush to determine how the money would be divided.

“Most of our discussions were about how to operate and make it happen, so we didn’t get into detailed ar-rangements,” Lait said.

Lait said he didn’t antici-pate any issues with decid-ing how the business model would work after the Cream-ery’s opening.

“I don’t foresee it being a problematic situation,” Lait said. “It could have been de-cided earlier and probably should have been decided earlier.”

The birds and the bees, literallyChristin Hardy Staff Writer

Spring time has officially made its debut with temperatures in the seventies accompanied by a few, classically emotional thun-derstorms coming and going as they please. With these condi-tions, things are bound to hap-pen, and mainly that being an explosion of flora. Cherry trees in front of Kilgore Hall bring in the good news of spring with small pink flowers, daffo-dils seemingly appear from no where in the Court of the Caro-linas expressing their happiness with shades of yellow and white, while oak trees, like graffiti art-ists bypassing all boundaries, give every car a paint job in the color of pollen.

All metaphors aside, spring-time is essentially a display of the very best and most complex evolutionary inventions of all time.

As humans growing up on planet earth, taking for grant-ed the seasons is easy because they’ve always just existed and cycled. However, curiosity and questioning the establishment are quite common in people and from that come these questions: What is the purpose of pollen? Why do plants have f lowers? And why do insects have a sym-biotic relationship with plants in bloom?

“Pollen is basically plant sperm,” Bryce Lane, a professor in the horticulture department, said. To understand what pollen is and how it works some termi-nology is required. Flower sex parts consist of male stamens and female pistils. Pollen is the product of male stamens and, like all sperm, hope to make it to the tip of the pistil, called the stigma, which then carries the male DNA into the ovary where fruit is then produced. This is where apples and oranges come from, not the stork.

The other use of pollen is that of causing sneezing, coughing and watery eyes.

“I have to take my allergy med-icine religiously to keep them at bay,” Ashley Rivers, a senior in English, said.

Allergies caused by pollen af-fect many students on NC State’s campus and suspiciously coin-cide with the end of the semester making deadweek live up to its name.

“Allergies really make it un-comfortable to be in class be-cause you don’t want to blow your nose in the middle of class or rustle in your pocket book to get your Kleenexes. It’s just a pain,” Rivers said.

The epic of pollen in the nose that causes allergies is quite dif-ferent than that of pollen in the pistil. When air enters the nose it gets filtered through hairs and mucus, catching anything espe-cially large. Then once at the roof

Kutcher takes crown, follower gets SIM’d

Looks like Ted Turner, founder of CNN, is going to get a ding dong ditch from Ashton Kutcher pretty soon.

In a race that pitted one celebrity against a giant news corporation, Ashton Kutcher challenged Turner to a race to one million followers on Twitter, the social networking site that grew by 75 percent from February to March, and won.

“If I beat CNN to a million followers, I will literally go and ding dong ditch Ted Turner’s house while I’m in Atlanta,” Kutcher said in a YouTube video released April 13. Kutcher said he stumbled upon a Web site that said he had only 50,000 fewer followers than CNN.

In a newer video, Kutcher announced EA Games promised to make Kutcher’s one millionth follower into a SIMS character.

CNN’s Larry King didn’t believe Kutcher could be more popular than the news organization, and countered with a YouTube video that questioned Kutcher’s intelligence and his ability to win the bet.

“Do you think you can take on an entire network? Do you know how big we are? Do you know what CNN is!?”

CNN proved it had no hard feelings for Kutcher by sending out a breaking news alert that declared the actor the winner.

PackPulse, developed by students, monitors buildings’ energy use in five-second increments

Stephen Roller has practiced his pitch.

He stands in a white dress shirt, black tie and pants before CEOs of Triangle-based companies, before management alumni, before profes-sors, faculty and students with the same message: real-time energy moni-toring is the next green step.

The product he’s talking about is PackPulse, a Web site that translates data collected from 15 campus build-ings in a “more human way.” Every five seconds, real-time energy meters send the amount of energy a build-ing is using to computers, which then convert the data and submit it to Pack-Pulse, a Web site open to the public.

And he’s really trying to sell it. Al-though Roller wrote the code that converts real-time data into easily readable graphs, and although Facili-ties has installed the meters, the team of students who developed PackPulse

still need funding for LCD screens that can project the live data to residence halls and buildings.

“Our eventual goal is to really see this technology permeate through the University and really help the Univer-sity make smarter environmental de-cisions,” Roller, a junior in computer science, said. “It gives you an idea for when the actual day closes up.”

In the wake of a 5 to 7 percent Uni-versity-wide budget cut, cutting en-ergy rather than personnel costs is one

“We need to look everywhere we can, and we want to look anywhere that has people last,” Jeffrey Braden, dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, said. “We want to keep instructors. We want to keep support staff so students can get ad-vising. Anything that makes us looks for cuts other than people, we’re eager to pursue.”

Larry Nielsen, provost and executive vice chancellor, said the University is not considering eliminating Friday classes to save energy costs. He was not available for comment on Monday,

of the nasal cavity the tiny smell molecules land on the olfactory epithelium, a patch of nerve cells that connect to the main olfacto-ry nerves in the brain. When the cilia, microscopic hairlike fibers, on the nerve cells are triggered, they send signals to the brain, which then decides what is be-ing smelled and in the case of allergies what is attacking. The olfactory epithelium is essen-tially the nose’s switchboard for decoding scents and recognizes what it thinks is an “attacker”.

Allergies are actually a bit of a mystery because pollen is not a threat or dangerous, but the body misinterprets the com-pounds as problems, which cause it to produce histamines and other chemicals that cause the symptoms of sneezing and coughing.

Just like some people are color blind, some are also scent blind.

“Out of ten people, only a few can smell an amaryllis,” said Bill Cox, a junior in landscape de-sign. “They just don’t have the receptors in their nose to receive the smell,” he said. Cox can smell amaryllis as well as pansies, an-other difficult flower for some to detect.

On the subject of flowers, that leads to the next two questions:

Why do plants have flowers and why do insects like them so much?

“Flowers are advertisements to seduce pollinators such as but-terf lies, bees, birds, ants, and even beetles,” Lane said.

The relationship that Lane is referring to is the mutualism between flowers and insects, a relationship that was spawned more than 65 million years ago in the Cretaceous period. Flow-ers first bloomed during that time which gave rise to insects. Insects eat the nectar, while flow-ers use them for pollen transit, also known as pollination. Es-sentially, every flower or orna-

ment that a plant exhibits was not evolved for NC State’s enjoy-ment, but solely for the attention of pollinators.

Being consistent with that point, certain pollinators are only attracted to certain col-ors, such as the hummingbird, which goes for red and orange, while the honeybee prefers blue, purple and yellow.

Flower shape is also important in attracting the right pollinator. For the hummingbird, a long tu-bular flower is needed to facili-tate its beak. For the honeybee the flower needs to be either flat or have some sort of landing for the bee to rest on.

CHRISTIN HARDY/TECHNICIANBill Cox, a junior in landscape design, smells an amaryllis !ower. This particular !ower is di"cult for some people to smell because they lack the receptors in their nose to recieve the scent. “Out of 10 people, only a few can pick it up,” Cox said.

westward. Sean Ehrig, a junior in aero-

space engineering who lives near the coast in Maryland, said he has seen such effects.

“We get some bad rain storms that may knock down some trees and take the power down,” he said, “but because of our area, we only get the residual storms.”

Xie’s predictions should carry some weight. During last year’s Olympics, he was a weather forecaster who had to predict wind speed with certain accu-racy so that sailers leaving from a Chinese harbor would not be stranded in the middle of the water.

The sailing competition re-quires 3 m/s winds for dura-tion of two hours, so Xie worked with Sujit Ghosh and Huiping Miao of the Department of Sta-tistics, as well as local weather forecasters, to predict when the weather would be at its prime for the sailing competition.

The competition organizers would then use the information to plan out the games and, be-cause of the successful weather forecast, none of the games were cancelled.

Xie said he remembers one day when the competition or-ganizers were anxious because the winds were too calm, so they called him while he and the other forecasters were out at lunch.

He told the organizers they shouldn’t worry, suggesting that they postpone the sailing event until later in the afternoon and begin at about 3:30 p.m.

At about 3 p.m., the winds started to pick up and the event went as planned. The teams fin-ished at about 6 p.m.

HURRICANEcontinued from page 1

HURRICANE TRAFFIC:Xie and his colleagues anticipate three of about five storms will become hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. Out of all the storm systems in the Gulf of Mexico, two to four of the storm systems will make landfall in the Gulf coast. There is a 70 percent chance that at least one of those storm systems that makes land fall will be a hurricane and there is a 40 percent chance that it will be a major hurricane.

Tuesday or Wednesday to discuss whether it would be possible for certain colleges to cut Friday classes while others continue a five-day week, nor to discuss moving all night classes to one or two buildings.

Eliminating Friday classes would be tricky, but not impos-sible, according to Vice Provost and Registrar Louis Hunt. About 20 percent of undergraduate stu-dents have already stopped sign-ing up for Friday classes.

“The trick to get anything go-ing here would be figuring out how it can be politically palat-able,” he said. “We can’t say, ‘Sor-ry, we need a bunch of money to build more classrooms because we don’t use them half the week.’ We have to make sure they utilize all potential Monday through Thursday.”

Avoiding Friday classes is something Emily Jones, a junior in management, has been trying to do since her first year here. She was unable to secure a purely Monday to Thursday schedule as a freshman or sophomore, but managed to make the ideal schedule this semester and the fall semester.

“I like having a three-day weekend. This semester and for next semester it was easier, prob-ably because I am signing up for smaller classes,” Jones said. “I will take a later class to avoid taking class on Fridays.”

Hunt said Registration & Re-cords standardized the Monday/Wednesday schedule about two years ago in an effort to free up

classroom technology used daily from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., a slot in which 60 percent of classes are taught.

“More and more people want technology. If you’re willing to teach at 8 a.m., we’ve got that ca-pacity. If you’re willing to teach at 3 p.m., we’ve got that capacity,” Hunt said. “Students are more willing to go later in the day if it’s only two days a week. And it’s easier for faculty. For me, it’s a little easier to get the kids on the bus and get here at 8:30.”

A natural progression toward effective classrooms — that is, classes that are taught near their departments, have technology available to them and are filled almost to capacity — has en-hanced Monday through Thurs-day class options. However, Hunt said it may not be possible to move all classes away from Fri-day.

“I’m not sure if you can get rid of Friday all together, and I’m not sure that you would want to, ei-ther,” he said. “Unless I change something else and increase uti-lization outside the 10-to-2 time period, it’s hard to imagine that you could fit it into four days.”

He said there are other ways to reduce energy use on campus.One of those options, he said, could be cutting Friday classes for certain colleges, enabling buildings to use bare bones en-ergy for three days instead of two. Another could be moving night classes to one space.

“By having dedicated spaces, I think you alleviate some of those problems,” Hunt said. “It’d be really nice to have a classroom building that has limited en-trances for night classes. Similar-

ly, if you had a classroom build-ing open longer, you could move to a place that’s open. That way, having specialized spaces might contribute to energy savings.”

This is where PackPulse comes in. Since utility work-ers usually collect data from about 550 campus buildings once a month, according to Ed Sekmistrz, energy manage-ment engineer for the Office of Energy Management, Univer-sity employees cannot tell how much energy a building is using at a certain time of the day.

“Our utility meter read op-eration is similar to a home or apartment — where meters are read once a month,” Sekmistrz wrote in an e-mail. “By reading meters once during the month, you cannot distinguish the dif-ference in utility usage for week ends versus business days dur-ing the week.”

Real-time meters monitor energy use every five seconds, so officials can evaluate how much it costs each student to keep a building open at certain times of the day.

I f sevent y students use Tompkins Hall between 2 and 6 p.m. Friday, officials will be able to take the energy used in that time period and assess if it is cost efficient to keep that building open during those hours.

“A real-time monitoring sys-tem is the only way to evaluate something like that,” PackPulse business manager Janine Largen said. “You can monitor to any correlation you’re trying to do. The product is completely con-ducive to that.”

Students have welcomed The Creamery, which opened in the Erdahl-Cloyd Wing of

D.H. Library Monday, but plans are still fuzzy as to where the rev-enue it generates will go.

The Creamery, which was a joint venture between Universi-ty Dining, D.H. Hill Library and the Department of Food, Biopro-cessing and Nutrition Sciences, has been successful in its first three days, but the fact that the three entities do not know how its revenue will be divided shows there needs to be better organi-zation among the departments.

Although it may be far down the line, figuring out where the profits go should have been one

of the first concerns of the proj-ect.

The three departments should have planned out every aspect of the Creamery before its opening, and for it to open without decid-ing where the money will go is irresponsible and a bad precedent for future projects.

This lack of planning does not reflect on The Creamery itself nor does it reflect solely on the three departments involved. The situation surrounding the Creamery is a microcosm of the way the University functions — for instance, Chancellor James

Oblinger announced the creation of the Campus Enterprise Divi-sion earlier this semester without having a clear definition of what it is and what it will do, while the Student Health Center an-nounced this week its intentions to cut hours to save money. Both decisions, without explanation or discussion among students or the departments involved, represent bad planning.

The handling of revenue in the case of the Creamery should be a model of what NOT to do in the future—it reflects poorly on the University.

What the three departments should do as soon as possible is figure out where the money will go so it cuts down on confusion and increases efficiency.

This disorganization shows the University does not have its basic information and needs in line.

From the looks of it, The Creamery will continue to be a success and will do its job of serving students, which may end up benefiting the University as a whole.

But everything about it should have been planned out, especially from financial perspective.

The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board excluding the news department and is the responsibility of the

editor-in-chief. THE ISSUE:University Dining, D.H. Hill Library and the Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition have not planned where the revenue from the Creamery will go.OUR OPINION:All projects planned by the University should be thought out well in advance of their fruition.THE SOLUTION:The three departments need to decide where the money from the Creamery is going to go, and the University needs to begin planning out its projects before they are launched and completed.

Know where money from Creamery will go!OUR VIEW"

It sat in little bins, sprinkled throughout campus and had a decent crossword puzzle. I picked it up every day. It got me through Math 103. Just after

Math 103 end-ed, I saw an ad for copy edi-tors at Techni-cian. I didn’t know the first thing about Associated Press style or journalism,

but I applied and got the job. A year and a half later, I’m two weeks away from graduation and still trying to figure out why it took so long for me to transfer to N.C. State and join the paper.

And then, when I realize it’s 1:30 a.m. and I’m still in the of-fice at 323 Witherspoon, I ask myself why I didn’t quit long ago to save my sanity, grades and physical health. Working at a daily paper takes a lot out of you. I guess I knew this, but when I started I had no idea I’d end up breaking up near-physical argu-ments, screaming at my editor (and being screamed at by my editor) and sobbing on my desk. And little of that had anything to do with actual journalism.

It was the people! Those peo-ple, down in the little box at the bottom of this page, I fought be-cause of them, cried because of them and I had such a better col-lege experience because of them.

I nearly cried there. To redeem myself, I’ll embar-

rass all those people I love so dearly with a list of things no one outside of the Technician knows.

1. We’re up in the office until midnight...no, 1 a.m., no, 2 a.m. .... or later.

This item is mostly for the ben-efit of the professors I’ve had who don’t know why I’ve been sitting in their classes with eyes glazed over. Or, for my film professor, why I haven’t been there at all.

2. We laugh at your forum let-ters.

Not all of them, of course. But seriously, some of you can’t spell.

3. We don’t look at the cross-word puzzle.

That’s the business office’s business. So every time you send us an e-mail complaining about how the crossword was all messed up, we delete it.

4. Technician’s office is right next to Student Government’s office.

I don’t think I need to com-ment here.

5. Working at the paper is a full-time job.

The editor-in-chief is at the pa-per about 60 hours a week. I’m at the paper about 40 hours a week. And we still have classes. Most of us have had a brush with failure in a class or in life in general. Academic papers mean nothing after a few weeks at the newspa-per. The only paper that matters is the one with Technician on top.

6. Because of the above, none of us have any friends outside of Student Media.

We eat together. We drink to-gether. We hang out together. We play laser tag together. 90 percent of the followers on our Twitters are other people at the office. We’re sort of pathetic.

7. We love what we do, even though we hate what we do

If you like to be confused, stressed, and overworked, ap-ply to be a writer at Technician next year. It sounds horrible, but you’ll find yourself surrounded by some of the craziest, most awesome, fabulous people on this campus.

So, to all of you, who are too numerous to name, it’s been AMAZING and I’ll miss you so much it’s probably going to hurt! Come visit me in the Delta!

Best wishes to the 2009-2010 staff. I’ll be checking in.

To tell Taylor how much you’ll miss her, e-mail letters@technici-anonline.com

Ah, the infamous goodbye column. This will be the last time my name and crappy mug shot will appear in the pages of the Technician, the last time I will eagerly await

forum let-ters to no ava i l and t h e l a s t time I will remember I have a col-umn due the day be-fore it runs. Alas, I must

admit fair readers, I will miss it. More so than all of that, as really the Technician just added one more consistent deadline to the sea of dead-lines we call college, I will miss my undergraduate ex-perience. I did a lot of things as a part of the Wolfpack, and even if I one day return to my soon-to-be alma mater, I know that the feelings I have toward the University cannot be replicated.

During Homecoming this year, my roommate and I ran through the parking lots of Carter-Finley in an effort to

make it into the stadium before our seats were given away, steal-ing a Krispy Kreme or two off of wayward tailgaters as we went.

Once, during an all-night study extravaganza, I changed all of the lyrics in The Sound of Music to match N. C. State. Think: “I am 19 going on 20, honey I’m not naive. Frat boys I meet they tell me I’m sweet, but surely I don’t believe. They are after one thing only, I’m not giving it up, but that depends on what you decide to put in my Solo cup.”

I drank too much caffeine, ate too many Cookout trays and ate so much half-priced sushi on Tuesdays and Thursdays that I probably have undiagnosed mer-cury poisoning. Man, that Wolf-pack Roll is awesome. I may or may not have put 100 goldfish in the fountain behind Talley and subsequently fed them until they all got eaten by sea gulls. Some-one should tell those birds the ocean is 120 miles east.

And now, as I think back and remember the days when I read the columns of Jeff Gaither and Mark McLawhorn’s cartoons as a freshman (and will probably still read his cartoons as a PhD. Candidate), I could not imagine

the day that I would go the way of my forefathers … I mean, writers. Yet, here I am, saying “auf wiedersehen” to the Brickyard, the Bell Tower sans bells and the hope I had for our men’s basketball team to break the curse of Jimmy V. while I attended the Univer-sity. In leaving the things that I love, it makes me appreciate the few things I hated: time spent in Harrelson Hall, any-thing related to Orgo and los-ing to Carolina (which made 41-10 all the sweeter).

I am going to go address my graduation announcements and decorate my cap in red, white and Wolfpack. To the ones I leave behind, I hope my columns made you more aware of the world around you, and that someone will endeavor to continue this legacy. But to you, the ones embarking with me into the yellowed pastures of an un-stable economy and the fal-low fields of unemployment, I say please reflect during these precious few days we have left. This is the last Thursday of your undergraduate career, so make the most of it.

CAMPUSFORUM! " Remember you are representing

your schoolMight I suggest to the truck full of

young men who accosted me Satur-day morning on Hillsborough Street near the fair grounds that next time they attack a nice, little middle-aged lady driving alone in her car, they do not do it decked out in N.C. State wear? At about 11:30 a.m., a white truck full of five male students pulled alongside me and apparently took umbrage with the Obama stickers on my car. They proceeded to scream

“F--k you!” repeatedly, hurl me the finger and scream other epithets I thankfully could not understand. Now, as has been pointed out to me, they were probably frat boys and therefore, because of their obvious limitations, cannot be held totally responsible for their actions. How-ever, by doing this, wearing copious amounts of N.C. State garb is to de-base the entire University. I certainly hope that their barbaric actions do not define your fine student body as a whole.

As I am old enough to be their mother, or in the case of the obviously inbred one or two, their grandmother, I wonder if they would have treated their own kin this way because they choose to support the president?

Dining needs cruelty-free foodKudos to Tracy for letting the school

know there are vegetarians and vegans out there that want food too (“Vegetarians Hungry for Change,”

April 19). More and more people, es-pecially college students, are making cruelty-free choices in their diet. Even if for only a meal or two, people want healthy, meat-free options! Eating vegan is good f your body, the ani-mals and the environment. Providing more options would make the school more sustainable, too. Good luck to Tracy and all the veggie students — hope the school listens.

is never an exact scenario that you are used to,” Armstrong said. “You have to strategize each time. More often than not, the turkey wins and you lose.”

Armstrong said he also enjoys the social aspect of the sport. In fact, he said he enjoys it more when he takes someone new and they harvest a bird instead of him. He took two children with him on Youth Day this year and said they were hooked. Youth Day is a day that allows only young hunters and their guardians to hunt and it takes place a week before the opening of the regular season.

Michael Harris, senior in forestry, said he enjoys seeing young people get involved as well.

“It is a great learning experi-ence, no matter what age you are. No matter what, you are going to have a good time,” Har-ris said.

According to Hodgin and Armstrong, most hunters at State hunt on private land near their hometowns or on hunting clubs they are a part of because hunters must be drawn in a lot-

tery system for a permit to hunt on gamelands near campus. Armstrong also mentioned that many of the private landown-ers around Raleigh have already given people permission to hunt.

Although Raleigh might not be the easiest place to find property to hunt on, there are opportuni-ties to learn more about the sport right here on campus. According to committee member Harris, N.C. State has its own chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation.

“The National Wild Turkey Federation is a national non-profit organization that pro-motes the conservation and preservation of hunting tradi-tions, especially those of turkey hunting,” Harris said. “At State, we hold meetings and banquets for people with similar interests to come together and have a good time.”

Armstrong has attended the organization’s banquets and said they are a great place for people who do not know about the sport to come and talk to people who have done it for years and learn some things about the wild tur-key.

After squaring away the paper-work and receiving the Univer-sity’s approval, tryouts were held March 7. 22 people showed up to the one-day tryout and 14 made the team, which is now a mem-ber of the American Collegiate Intramural Sports association.

Taylor Payne, a freshman in First Year College who played high school and AAU basket-ball prior to coming to N.C. State, said he is enjoying play-

ing for the club basketball team because it offers more intensity and is more competitive than intramural basketball.

“It’s fun to play basketball again at a high level where every-one tries as hard as they can on every play,” Payne said. “People take it more seriously [than they do in intramurals] in club bas-ketball.”

The team played its first game against Campbell just one week after the tryout, and according to Bender, their lack of experience made the trip a difficult one, but he also said he felt confident that

with time, his team will come together and learn to play a fast-paced style of basketball at a high level.

“It was pretty obvious we weren’t ready as a team,” Bend-er said. “But the thing we want to focus on is our defense. It is something we want to take pride in and we want it to lead to the fast break and on offense, that’s how we want to play. That’s our offensive style—we want to push the ball.”

The team’s next action will be April 24, as it is slated to par-ticipate in the ACIS Basketball

National Championships, which the University and Carmichael Gymnasium will host. The tournament cur-rently features 17 teams, with a couple from as far away as Ohio State and Texas South-ern scheduled to participate.

Bender encouraged any-one interested in competitive basketball to come to those tryouts, as the team is still looking for players to comple-ment its already solid core and will play a full season against other club teams and against local collegiate junior varsity teams.

“We have a really good core group this year, but there is definitely going to be a lot of open spots for people to make the team,” Bender said. “We will have a full schedule, we are going to play a bunch of club teams, junior varsity teams from nearby, and also junior colleges. I would also like to play the J.V. team from Carolina, I think that would be fun.”

Payne added that people who want the opportunity to play basketball at a high level will be able to do so without having to worry about having their lives taken over, as the team typically practices just once or twice a week.

“I would recommend play-ing because it is competitive, but it is also laid back at the same time,” Payne said. “It’s not too intense and it is not to the point where it is going to take up too much of your time.”

thought those things. The way you led the football team was something special to watch. And it was no fluke. You can truly play the game and the entire ACC knows it.

At this point I feel you have the skill set to play at the next level. I know some would say I need to back up for a minute and realize you have only really played about half a season.

I spoke with an NFL scout who works for the San Diego Char-gers and he told me you had all the tools to succeed at the next level. He did admit your height would hurt your chances in the NFL, but he said if you were given a chance to play you could most definitely have success in the pros.

The excitement and expecta-tions for the 2009 football sea-son have a lot to do with how you played last year and the success or failure of this year’s team will have a lot to with how you play.

There will be nearly 60,000 red-and-white clad Wolfpack fans in Carter-Finley eight times in the fall and your ability to play football will have a huge impact on their mood.

Not to put any pressure on you or anything.

All that being said, don’t quit playing baseball. It could end up being your meal ticket in the future.

Though you’ve played incred-ibly well up to this point, it’s hard to imagine things going that well for two more years. Consistent production is key when you’re talking about an NFL ready play-er. It’s no easy task to produce at the rate you have for three whole years in the ACC.

I have a feeling you’ll end up on the diamond at some point, and that’s probably best. Your athleticism is just as evident on the baseball field and you won’t have 300+ lb. defensive lineman chasing you.

But for right now, enjoy where you are in your life. Play both sports. Not many of us have that luxury.

LETTER“I have played baseball my whole life,

ever since I was four years old. I didn’t start football until seventh grade.” Wil-son commented.

Wilson’s dream of being a professional athlete in any sport came to him at a very young age.

“Ever since I was little I always wanted to do that. I always dreamed about it.” Wilson recalled.

And as a little boy, Wilson claims he never had a favorite player in the majors per se, he was a fan of players such as Ken Griffey Jr. However, he really looked up to his dad and brother.

During Wilson’s sophomore year, the recruiting process began and quickly became very interesting. Almost every ACC team was looking at him to be the general on their offense or a key for their infield. Wilson, however, did not limit himself to just one conference, as he had mutual interest in Louisville and Ohio State.

Playing two sports takes lot of time out of Wilson’s day, but add on college classes and homework and one has to wonder how he has time to sleep.

“I just organize myself the best I can,” Wilson said. “Get my priorities straight and do the best I can.”

But it has yet to be seen how good Wilson can be. Fitt said he believes

Wilson can be could be a very good player and could potentially go very high in the draft.

“He’s eligible next year and right now, based on pure talent, I think he could be a top ten round pick,” Fitt admitted. “If he really pulls it together, and tries to focus on baseball and it clicks for him, he could go in the top two or three rounds. He’s that kind of an athlete.”

But as many people speculate whether Wilson should pursue a career between the white lines or the gridiron, Wilson will not, at least publicly, commit to ei-ther sport.

“Neither right now,” Wilson replied to the big question. “I take each mo-ment day by day and don’t really worry about anything, just work hard and do something I enjoy and love. God gave me the talent to use them and I’m gonna do that the best I can.”

INSIDECOUNTDOWN

State’s newest club sport’s inaugural season is off to a smooth start

Tyler EverettStaff Writer

For anyone who frequents the courts at Carmichael Gymnasium and sees the number of competitive bas-ketball games played on a regular basis, it would make very little sense that until so recently, State did not offer a club basketball team. But thanks to the recent initiative of a few students who decided to ask Campus Recreation of-ficials exactly what it would take to start a club basket-ball team, this is no longer the case.

Bryan Bender, a Campus Outreach youth ministry leader who played three years of varsity basketball for Chambersburg Area High School in Chambersburg, P.A., is the coach of the newly founded club basketball team.

He explained that in early March, he and two friends of his, junior Matt Kostelic and

sophomore Luke Elliot, started talking one day about why State had no club basketball team’s and quickly decided to pitch the idea of starting one to CampusRec.

“My friends Luke [Elliott] and Matt [Kostelic] came up to me talking about it, just dreaming about why there is no club bas-ketball team at N.C. State. We got the idea of trying to start one up,” Bender said. “So we went and talked to a few people, found out what we needed to do, proposed to have a team and people liked the idea, so it went through.”

COMING SOONFriday:

Dear Russell,I’m writing this letter to you

just to make sure you’re aware of the position you have within N.C. State athletics. I know you

a r e m o r e than likely aware of ev-erything I’m going to say, but I just wanted to make sure.

W h e n I f irst found out you had committed

to N.C. State and intended to play both football and baseball, I, like many other Wolfpack fans, decided it was my job to figure out how the next four years of your life would play out.

I set out on a quest to find out more about what you had done in high school. My research turned up 3,000 yards pass-ing and more than 1,000 yards rushing as a senior in football. You were also a .467 hitter on the diamond and got drafted in the 41st round of the 2007 MLB Draft. Not too shabby.

Once I was convinced you had success in both sports, which took about 30 seconds, I decided to look at some physi-cal stats — 5’11’, 200 pounds. That’s when my brain said “he’s just too small; he’d better stick to baseball.”

I assumed your story would be like a lot of other high school football athletes who weren’t quite as big as many of the op-ponents they would face on a Division-I football field. I as-sumed your size would hinder the future of your football career and could even potentially force you to choose baseball or change positions on the football team.

Then I got the opportunity to watch you play football.

I’m almost embarrassed I ever

BASKETBALL

Sport a “great learning experience” for young and old

Jason LivingstonStaff Writer

Clearance sale papers fill the Sunday paper. Sale signs cov-er local sporting goods store windows. The words “gobble gobble” are on many students’ minds. These events are sure markers for the Thanksgiv-ing holiday. However, this is still months away. The reason for these clearance sales and thoughts of gobbling are due to the opening of the spring turkey hunting season in North Carolina.

Two weeks ago the North Carolina spring turkey sea-son opened, allowing hunt-ers from all across the state to venture into the woods for their chance at that elu-sive tom, or male turkey. Kyle Hodgin, a December 2008 graduate, was lucky enough to call in his first turkey and al-lowed his father to harvest it.

“Besides the thrill of bow

hunting deer, that is the most ex-citement I have ever experienced while hunting,” Hodgin said.

Austin Armstrong, senior in agricultural business manage-ment and animal science, was not as lucky. However, he still enjoyed his experience.

“We made a couple of mistakes on some turkeys,” Armstrong said. “If we could have gone back in time and done it a little bit

differently then we would have walked out with the bird in our hand. However, he stayed in the bush this time.”

Even though Armstrong is a seasoned veteran of the sport, he said he feels like the challenge of not being able to harvest a bird on every trip is what keeps him coming back to it.

Wilson flashes his talents on turf and dirt, may go high in MLB draft

Will Privette Staff Writer

If you are on N.C. State’s campus and ask anyone on the Brickyard if he or she knows who Russell Wilson is, the reply will be ‘yes’ and a smile will come onto his or her face. If you go west to Wake Forest University and ask the same ques-tion, fans will reply yes as well, but will not draw a smile. Wilson, who became a dominating force for the football team as its starting quarterback during the 2008 season, single-handedly orchestrated a huge comeback victory as he rushed for 87 yards and went 16-33 with two touch-downs to stun the Demon Deacons, 21-17, on Nov. 15.

As talented as the 21-year-old is behind center, he is equally, if not more talented on the baseball diamond. Although Wil-son came to State on a football scholar-

ship, coach Tom O’Brien shares the multi-talented freshman with baseball coach Elliott Avent. Baseball scouts and experts praise Wilson’s talents and believe he could be a very high draft pick once he is eligible for the Major League Base-ball first-year player draft after next sea-son. The Notorious Baseba l l America publication, which is located in Durham, sees the Virginia na-tive as a future high draft pick. BA’s col-lege expert, Aaron Fitt, weighed in on Wilson’s talents.

“He’s a really ex-plosive athlete, first of all,” Fitt said. “That athleticism plays in football and plays in baseball. The same things that make him a great football player are his best aspects on the diamond. He’s strong, he’s fast and he has quick wrist at the plate.”

Fitt said he could see Wilson as a middle infielder but wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually makes a move to the outfield.

“It sounds like he has a chance be a pret-ty good infielder, although he’s still work-

ing on putting his act ions on the infield and being more consistent defensively,” Fitt said. “But I think he could be a great center fielder, per-sonally. I think he’s a guy with a lot of untapped poten-tial.”

Growing up in Richmond, V.A.,

Wilson played baseball from an early age. He acquired his love for the game from his father, Harrison, and his older brother Harry.
