Raleigh, North Carolina

UNC System President Erskine Bowles approved a plan that will increase N.C. State’s tuition by $900.

Nathan HardinNews Editor

Chancellor Randy Woodson says the 19 percent increase in tuition students face Thursday is neces-sary to maintain academic quality.

The $750 increase is a response to a $70 million budget cut state lawmakers imposed on the UNC System June 30. As the UNC System’s largest institu-tion, the N.C. State must deal with $19.6 million in cuts. Even with one of the largest hikes in University history, the uptick in revenue will still come $3 mil-lion short, forcing University administrators to cut from non-teaching positions. The $750 increase also doesn’t include a $150 hike approved in February by the UNC Board of Governors.

Woodson explained that the decision is not some-thing he wants to do, but it is necessary for academic quality.

“The reality is we wouldn’t be doing this if we didn’t need the money to invest in the education of the students here,” Woodson said. “The fact that the budget cuts occurred this year, it’s necessary.”

The plan was approved solely by UNC System President Erskine Bowles, who assessed each UNC System schools’ tuition eligibility. When acknowl-edging the University’s size, he agreed to the Uni-versity’s proposed 2010-2011 tuition increase. In total, students will see a $900 increase from the 2009-2010 year.

The tuition boost is a pain other universities are also bearing; UNC-Chapel Hill will face the same tuition aches in the 2010-2011 school year. At almost

$4 million, UNC-CH is the only university in the UNC System with larger remaining flex cuts than NCSU.

Bowles maintained that even with the proposed tuition increases, all UNC System campuses are still in the lowest quarter with regard to tuition rates, in comparison to public peer institutions.

Twenty percent of the revenue earned by the tu-ition increase will go to financial aid.

“Financial aid packages will be recalculated,” Woodson said.

NCSU has elected to burden the tuition hike in its entirety for the upcoming year as opposed to split-

ting the amount between two years. UNC-CH will also take its entire increase this year, but other institutions like ECU, UNC-Asheville and UNC-Pembroke opted to have their hikes split between two school years.

“We’re doing it this year because we’ve been asked to address the budget shortfall and the budget shortfall is this year,” Woodson said.

Woodson said the fact that tuition is being increased one day before fall semester billing begins but that it all has to do with timing.

Woodson: $900 tuition hike ‘necessary’ Phishing attempts on the rise during e-mail migrationSquirrel Mail soon will become Gmail, but beware of phishing attempts.

Chelsey FrancisStaff Writer

By fall 2010, all N.C. State students will be using a Gmail account. How-ever, during the migration, phishing attempts have increased and are much harder to detect.

According to the Google Apps @ N.C. State website, the benefits of this migration are numerous. There are benefits to students, such as more storage space and “world class” spam and virus protection. Gmail has more than 7 gigabytes of e-mail storage per account. With the Gmail migration, students will keep the same UnityID@ncsu.edu e-mail address.

Google Apps @ N.C. State also dif-fers from Gmail in that students will never see advertisements in the ac-count.

Also, the University as a whole will see many benefits from this migration. One such benefit is a cost savings of approximately $61,000. As well, Google Apps will provide more col-laborative tools and modern systems than what was previously used.

According to Tim Gurganus, IT security officer with the Office of In-formation Technology, with the Gmail software, it will be harder to detect phishing attempts.

“In the past, we detect when that’s happening, but with the migration it’s tough. We’re going to have to retool to detect a compromised account. Google has provided some rudimen-tary tools for that,” said Gurganus.

Gurganus says phishing attempts are frequent in University’s e-mail system.

“I suspect every student gets one in a semester,” said Gurganus. “[Phish-ers] seem to know when the semester starts.”

There are certain things to beware of to prevent phishing attacks.

“I would tell students to be suspi-cious of any e-mail that asks for your username and password. No mainte-nance we do requires that we know your password,” said Gurganus.

All incoming freshmen will have a University Gmail account by the start of the fall semester. As of Wednesday evening, just over 28,000 accounts had been migrated to Gmail.

Construction of ‘Brickyard Bubble’ begins

‘First-Class’ library construction on Centennial Campus

Chris BoucherCorrespondent

Construction of a future student dining room ate up a chunk of the Brickyard this week, ahead of the Atrium’s partial reopening this fall.

Crews fenced off an area in front of the Atrium and began building the “Brickyard Bubble” this week, said Jennifer Gilmore of University Din-ing marketing and communications.

Resembling a large inflatable tent, the bubble will offer climate-con-trolled indoor seating for students eating near the Atrium and will be the main indoor eating area until the Atrium reopens in the fall of 2011.

Although a much larger area of the Brickyard had to be fenced off for con-struction of the bubble, Gilmore said the actual structure will only be 50 feet by 80 feet when finished.

The opening of the bubble is sched-uled to coincide with the partial re-opening of the Atrium this fall. The service half of the building will reopen when classes begin Aug. 18, and stu-dents will be able to buy food from Chick-fil-A or Lil’ Dino’s during the first semester. However, there will be no seating inside the Atrium for the upcoming academic year.

For the fall and spring semesters, students can “go through line in the new Atrium, get their food and sit in the bubble to eat,” Gilmore said. The

bubble will have electricity, sprinklers, heating and air conditioning, she said.

Students who want an outside eat-ing option will still be able to use many of the tables and chairs in front of the Atrium while construction is underway.

Chick-fil-A and Lil’ Dino’s will open on the seating side of the Atrium while crews work on the service side this fall. In January, the service side will open and work will begin on the seating area, but students will still be eating

in the bubble.“We could have shut the Atrium

down completely, but we did it in phases to ensure uninterrupted food service for students,” Gilmore said, and added that Atrium receipts often reflect around 30,000 people being served daily.

Gilmore also said students can take advantage of other dining options, such as those in D.H. Hill Library. Hill of Beans and the Creamery will serve sandwiches, pitas and wraps under the

new Wolfpack-to-Go label at both establishments.

While culinary choices near the Atrium will be limited in the fall, several new dining options will ap-pear for the spring semester.

“If all goes as scheduled, all of our new [Atrium] food concepts should be open in January,” Gilm-ore said.

The University will follow this plan for the 2010-2011 fall and spring semesters, then shut the Atrium down completely next summer to complete the project.

“We’ll have to close [the Atrium] down again to tie in the air condi-tioning, vents and sprinkler sys-tem, as well as renovate the back kitchen,” Gilmore said. “But when August 2011 rolls around, every-thing will be open and the bubble will be gone.”

Chelsey FrancisStaff Writer

A “first-class” library is being con-structed on Centennial Campus and being named after former North Car-olina Governor and national leader in education, James B. Hunt. Construc-tion on Hunt Library has already be-gun and is slated for completion in summer 2012.

The construction of Hunt Library is a part of renovations on the library system at the University. Work began in 2002 with the renovation of the East Wing at D.H. Hill Library and will end in after 2015 with an additional reno-

vation to D.H. Hill Library. “The grading has been finished

and concrete work began in June for Hunt Library,” said Rachel Miller, project coordinator for Hunt Library. “Steel erection will begin in September. The estimat-ed construction completion date is late summer 2012, but then we have to allow two to four months for furniture to be installed, books to be moved in, and all the technol-ogy to be set up. It’s looking like we’ll have a grand opening in late 2012 or very early 2013.”

Miller said the building is on track to be LEED certified upon completion.

“The fact that it was one day before the bills go out wasn’t the University’s fault,” said Woodson. “It’s because we’re responding to a legislative re-quest that was made Friday.”

Woodson also said students’ educations must remain at a high level.

“No one wants to do this. An inferior education is not a good education for any of our stu-dents,” Woodson said.

Woodson said that com-pared to the University’s peer institutions, NCSU remains an affordable university for students.

“I know this is hard for stu-dents to accept but we remain a very, very affordable univer-sity,” Woodson said. “When you look at the numbers for N.C. State compared to all of the peers that we compete with that have a land-grant univer-sity like us, they all have tuition that is $2,000, $3,000, $4,000 more than us.”

Woodson also said the tu-ition increase process differs considerably from the normal tuition hike process, but the increase was not a University initiative.

“It’s unfortunate that we didn’t plan for this and we didn’t have time to talk with students and parents, but this was put on us by the legislature. This wasn’t an initiative from N.C. State,” Woodson said.

According to Woodson, the budget situation poses a unique challenge: “How do we contin-ue to compete in an environ-ment where we want to be seen as the best university system in the country and have the best education for your students, but be the most affordable?”

Microsoft Surface available for use next weekNew device expected to be used by professors, researchers and students.

Chelsey FrancisStaff Writer

A new technological “toy” in the D.H. Hill Learning Commons area will give students the opportunity to help develop new applica-tions as well as give library administration ideas for future uses.

Microsoft Surface debuts in the library next week. Microsoft Surface is a ges-ture based device recently marketed. The library in-tends for students to use the Microsoft Surface de-vices to explore and learn on their own, helping to create marketable skills.

N.C. State is one of few universities in the country to have this new technology. According to Josh Boyer, associate head of distance learning and information services for the library, most Microsoft Surface devices are seen in a business set-ting.

“Very few universities have this advanced tech-nology. Most of the Sur-faces are in a business set-ting, which makes it hard to play around with and learn the technology,” said “Un-like a business setting, our Microsoft Surfaces will be constantly evolving. The University having this will help our students develop marketable skills.”

Students can develop applications for the Mi-crosoft Surface through Application Programming Interface, or API. However, according to Boyer applica-tions have to be tested on the Surface because of the technology it uses.

The University isn’t stop-ping at just one Microsoft Surface either; soon, two Surfaces devices will be available for student use in the Learning Commons area. After a period in the Learning Commons, where the games currently are, the

two Microsoft Surfaces will move to the new Technology Sandbox.

The library completed the Technology Sandbox over the summer. This area, across from the Creamery in the Er-dahl-Cloyd wing of the library, will soon serve as the home to technology the administration is considering placing in the Hunt Library upon its comple-tion in 2012. When the games are moved from the Learning Commons, they will also go to the Technology Sandbox.

Microsoft Surface has ap-plications that serve as a type of demonstration as well as applications that have been developed by Library admin-istration.

To benefit incoming fresh-men, the University devel-oped an application called ‘Concierge.’ This will combine Google maps, campus maps and information students need.

Shirley Rodgers, associate de-partment head of systems for NCSU Libraries, demonstrated

the ‘Concierge’ application can be used to locate eating loca-tions close to campus as well as locations on campus.

Some applications have a digital keyboard. According to Rodgers, in the future, there will probably be a way for stu-dents to save things they do on the Surface to their university account.

“When the Microsoft Surface is set up, there will most likely being a digital sign giving basic information as well as who to contact with questions or sug-gestions,” said Boyer. “Mostly

though, we want students to touch the Surface and figure it out for themselves.”

According to David Hiscoe, NCSU Libraries director of communications, the Surface is pretty intuitive.

“If we put this out for all the N.C. State techies, they’ll figure out how to work it,” said Boyer.

There is no system set up with the Surface that will en-able Library Administration to see which applications are the most used, according to Hiscoe.

“In one way or another, we

will be able to see what students are doing,” said Rodgers. “With the applications we have devel-oped, we can set up our own statistics.”

According to Hiscoe, library administration will be avail-able for student suggestions as well as watching to see what students are using.

“The main thing is, we want students to play with the Sur-face,” said Boyer. “Students can develop applications or tell us applications they want to see. We need student input on this.”

DAVID HAWLEY/TECHNICIANShirley Rodgers, NCSU Libraries’ associate department head of system, and David Hiscoe, NCSU Libraries’ director of communications, play piano music on the new Microsoft Surface that will be placed in the Learning Commons next week for students to use. “When you make this stuff available to students, they grab it and start doing neat stuff with it,” Hiscoe said.

panels which will be used to heat hot water for the build-ing,” said Miller.

LEED certif ication is through U.S. Green Build-ing Council and “provides independent, third-party verification that a building project is environmentally responsible, profitable and a healthy place to live and work,” according to the U.S. Green Building Council website.

“It will have an area on

the roof as a green roof. On the oval, where the library is being constructed, pavers with a low solar reflective index will be used,” said Miller. “These won’t absorb heat like normal pavers do. Also, there is going to be a rain garden on the site of the library.”

According to Skanska, the construction management firm for the construction of Hunt Library, the library will have an automated retrieval system which will cut down on space needed for browsing.

“The facility will incorporate a two million volume book re-trieval system in lieu of typi-cal library stacks for more vi-

sually open space throughout the building,” according the Skanska website.

Miller said she believes the automated retrieval system will make the library more efficient for students.

“The automated retrieval sys-tem (ARS) will enable people to order books remotely from a computer and then pick it up from library staff in under five minutes,” said Miller. “As well, in the main library lobby area, there will be viewing windows into the ARS area and a web-cam attached to one of the ARS arms.”

The library system at the Uni-versity is currently undergo-

ing renovations so it will be in compliance with the University of North Carolina system re-quirements. One such of these requirements is the capability to seat 20 percent of the student body in the library. Currently, the library system can seat less than 5 percent of the Univer-sity’s student body. The 2002 master plan for the library ren-ovations explains renovations will “eliminate current space and facility deficits and will satisfy Library facility needs for the next twenty years.”

According to the library master plan, the construction of the James B. Hunt library as well as the renovations of D.H. Hill library will bring the Uni-versity library system into con-formance with “the University of North Carolina System and American Library Association standards,” as well as support “expansion of the University into Centennial Campus.

{ }OUR VIEW

This Tuesday, UNC System President Er-skine Bowles passed

a plan that will increase NCSU student tuition by $750, on top of the pre-ap-proved $150 hike approved earlier this year. Collective-ly, students are looking at a $900 increase in tuition, thereby bearing 80 percent of the University’s $20 mil-lion burden.

The goal of the University is to provide affordable edu-cation to its students in the most practical fashion. How, then, is putting a 19 percent tuition increase, as opposed to the 6 percent average in-crease over the next four years, fulfilling the Univer-

sity’s goals? This year’s increase in tu-

ition is primarily to assist in budget cuts. We, the stu-dents, are expected to pay more to help the University meet its financial goals. If the University expects its students to contribute more, we should get back just as much as we give.

In July, the University talked about a potential in-crease in tuition to avoid management cuts and we suggested other means of bearing the load. Clearly, we were not acknowledged and

the University’s need to keep its often meaningless man-agement positions is more important than providing students with an affordable, resourceful learning envi-ronment.

We aren’t saying students shouldn’t contribute. It is our University and a certain portion of the deficit should come from the students. But increasing our tuition by 19 percent so we can bear more than three-fourths of the burden is something the University needs to seriously reconsider.

The University is made up of students and we should always be put first. Our tu-ition should be the last thing increased, so our essential programs should be the last to be cut. On top of that, we shouldn’t be expected to pay so much more if the University isn’t contributing its share of the deal. We de-serve to have a convenient, affordable and all-around comfortable learning envi-ronment, and the University should strive to meet that without becoming a pick-pocket.

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.

Tuition increase crosses the lineTHE FACTS:The UNC Board of Governors approved a $750 tuition increase over and above the $150 student tax passed by the N.C. General Assembly in 2009. This is to offset the cost of the University’s budget cuts.

OUR OPINION:Students should not be bearing three-fourths of the financial burden. The University should be looking to other ways of paying for the budget cuts.

Being a college stu-dent involves a lot of responsibilities.

Along with working hard to be a successful student, and eventually, a professional, this is the premier time to build your social network and truly realize what your passions are in life. The problem that seems to be prevalent in this situation is maintaining the delicate balance between work and play. This week, I want to share some general advice about priorities, education

and the in-terplay be-tween hav-ing fun and making the grade.

College provides a wonderful environ-m e n t t o grow as a person, and

also presents a plethora of extracurricular activities. From dance teams to com-munity service groups, a college student has expo-sure to all sorts of fun and innovative activities, which often seem so much more interesting than a 10-page English paper due at the end of the week.

Distractions are obstacles students face on a day-to-day basis. Yes, this is the most exciting time of your life, and yes, there’s a lot out there to experience. But, to be successful, you should

always maintain that delicate balance between obligations. Getting attached to anything to the point where it is pulling you away from your career or educational path is unhealthy and often detrimental in the long run. Sort out your priori-ties and make sure education is on the top of the list. You are, first and foremost, a student.

Although it is essential to en-joy a certain amount fun and relaxation, never let that ob-scure your priorities. No mat-ter how much you love being a dancer or volunteering at the local animal shelter, it is crucial you realize the impor-tance of ded-ication and concentra-tion toward your stud-ies. You’re not paying t u it ion to h a n g o u t w it h you r buddies, and you’re not doing hours of research and studying to improve your Salsa routine.

If anything is hindering your focus from your central goal, it is in your favor to distance yourself from it. I’m not say-ing kick your extracurricular activities to the curb, just give them a back seat when they are competing with your priorities. My grandmother would say, “You are a student. Your edu-cation should be the only thing on your mind. This is your age to focus on one thing, and one thing alone: your future.”

The sincerity of volunteers

Com mu nit y ser v ice teaches indiv iduals to help others in need

and creates personal satisfac-tion for a job well done. People

should volun-teer in their s p a re t i m e not only to help the com-munity, but to also improve themselves. Learning nec-essary ski l ls and meeting the people in-

volved are reasons enough to go volunteer.

Some organizations, howev-er, feel they have the responsi-bility to pressure or even force people to volunteer their time to the community. Forced vol-unteers lose a substantial ben-efit from their work. They don’t realize volunteering can be an enjoyable pastime. The fun is hidden in a fog of obligation.

When I joined Alexander Hall Council a year-and-a-half ago, I understood the purpose of each in-dividual po-sit ion. The social chair planned the formal. The fundraising chair would put together a doughnut sale. The vice president warmed the chair underneath his or her rump. The philan-thropy chair initially escaped my radar.

Soon, I learned the philan-thropy chair was a person that tries to get residents and hall council members to give back to the community. That usu-ally translated to pressuring us to give money to some cause or trying to organize us to go on a Habitat for Humanity trip. Although I advocate involve-ment in community service, hall council philanthropy chairs that employ these tech-niques and the like are ruining volunteering.

When people are pressured to volunteer by some organizer, they treat community service as an obligation. Students excel in procrastinating and avoid-ing their obligations. Our hall council treated community service the same way as any other obligation. We put off the events the philanthropy chair would suggest and avoided canned food drive attachments to events. Eventually, our hall

council was doing as little ser-vice as possible.

Instead of treating commu-nity service as an obligation, individuals should discover the pleasure of the act. Our philanthropy chair could have tried to make the residence hall aware of service opportunities instead of trying to organize people. By giving us the clues, someone would eventually make the discovery, and that person would not just volun-teer one time with Alexander Hall Council, but might volun-teer multiple times throughout his or her life.

In practical terms, hall coun-cil philanthropy chairs need to be gatherers and distributors of information, not organizers. They should post schedules of upcoming volunteer projects and suggest ways to donate to different charities. Philan-thropy chairs shouldn’t be one of those people who go around with a clipboard in the dorm asking who is going to meet in the basement for a planned Habitat for Humanity trips.

T h a t pu t s t o o m u c h pressure on people . They should l e t p o s t e d schedules and contact infor-mation bring the people to them.

Granted, my indirect approach to cre-ating volunteers doesn’t bring the throngs of individuals to a glorified onetime community service event. If the purpose of the philanthropy chair is to put together a onetime event, then continue the organizing and pressuring. The purpose should be to create volunteers out of the residents. My sug-gestion makes the act exactly what it should be-voluntary not obligatory.

True volunteers aren’t people who break down one day and shows up to an event because they didn’t want their friends to feel bad. Volunteers enjoy what they’re doing and plan on continuing giving back to the community in the future. Only when people discover that community service isn’t an obligation but a fun pastime will they decide to become a volunteer.

Sometimes it’s OK not to match

The easiest thing to do when trying to match patterns is to use the same color palate. For beginners, try a black and white

striped shirt with a black and white floral skirt. A scarf with black and/or white and some coor-dinating color, like red or purple, can punch it up. To tone it down, add a wide black belt to separate the patterns.

Stripes and f lorals aren’t for ever y-one. Honestly, I’m a

bit on the modest side when mixing patterns. If you still want to give it a go, think about shape.

Try mixing florals and polka dots since they are both the same shape. Stripes and plaids are also very similar. Just be sure the colors of these items are either complementary (for example, blue and orange or purple and yellow) or in the same general fam-ily (blue and purple or orange and yellow). But be careful about looking too match-y; different plaids in

similar colors just make you look like a color-blind lum-berjack.

There are also rules when it comes to size. Never mix two bold or large patterns – it diverts the focus from you to your loud outfit. One understated pattern, like a small polka dot skirt and a floral top, goes a long way. Just like you wouldn’t wear a hot pink shirt and purple pants (or I hope you wouldn’t), keep one pattern as the focal point and the other one understated. This will help your outfit remain balanced.

Another way to mix up your wardrobe is to think not only about patterns, but textures and styles as well. Mixing del-icate fabrics, like lace or silk, with a more robust fabric,

like corduroy or leather, will change the look of an outfit and will not be so predictable.

A n o t h e r f a s h i o n

“risk” I often take is mixing casual items with more formal items. Weathered items are in right now, making this look a little easier – you can just pair your ripped jeans or khakis with a fancier top. Think a thin, lacy top with torn jeans and your worn-in Converses. You can also mix heels with jean shorts and a black top.

If you are still worried you

can’t pull off these looks but desperately want to try,

you can always use ac-cessories or shoes to

take your style up a notch. These styles

are easy to pull off because they usual ly don’t touch another

pattern. A leopard print shoe with a brown patterned dress, or a pat-terned headband with a plaid top, are good ex-amples.

Scarves are an easy way to mix patterns without going overboard. Simply pair a pat-terned scarf with a solid top and patterned bottom. You could also do touches of pat-terns with a plaid shirt under a short-sleeved solid sweater and striped pants. This way, one of the patterns is mainly covered

After spending a Saturday afternoon at Crabtree Valley Mall, I think some people have confused the trend of

mixing and matching patterns with blindly pulling out items from their closets and throwing them on. Yes, it’s a different look, but not a very appealing one. But, there is some logic behind the cohesion of seemingly mismatched items.

THE AIR OUT HEREWhat pollutants affect the Triangle the

most?Particulate matter and ozone are the two pollutants that approach

and sometimes exceed the national air quality standard in Raleigh and surrounding areas during the summer.

“Particulate matter and ozone are formed in the atmosphere, not emitted into the atmosphere. [The other 4] are emit-

ted into the atmosphere, not formed. As the tempera-ture increases during the summer, these pollutants

react faster and produce more and more ozone and particulate matter,” Aneja said. The Clean Air Act“Our nation’s ability to manage our air is based on

the Clean Air Act. The Clean Air Act was written in 1970, but it was amended in 1976 and it was amend-

ed again and it was last amended in 1990, which was under George Bush [Sr]. The Clean Air Act says we have

the luxury to make changes to the act based on new sci-ence,” Aneja said.

Clearing the air

When walking outside on a muggy sum-mer day, most people don’t look up at the sky and wonder about the air quality — it’s usu-

ally the last thing on people’s minds. However, criteria pollutants can nega-tively affect human health if levels get too high. The Environmental Protection

Agency has created a color coded system, called the Air Quality Index, to alert the population when the air quality becomes dangerous. Viney Aneja, professor

in air quality and environmental technology, helped Technician break down the meaning behind the science.

1

AQI COLORS DEFINEDAir Quality Index Levels

of Health Concern Numerical Value Meaning

Good 0 to 50 Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk.

Moderate 51 to 100 Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.

Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups

101 to 150 Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is not likely to be affected.

Unhealthy 151 to 200 Everyone may begin to experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects.

Very Unhealthy 201 to 300 Health alert: everyone may experience more serious health effects.

Good 301 to 500 Health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected.

SOURCE: WWW.AIRNOW.GOV

There are six criteria pollutants that are the most per-vasive in the atmosphere – carbon

monoxide, lead, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, ozone and sulfur dioxide. These pollut-

ants have the biggest effect on air quality and our health.“That is not to say that these are the only six that have an impact on us

and our welfare, but they are the ones we believe are prevalent in the atmo-sphere all the time and will have an impact on us,” Aneja said. “We have done health affect-related studies. We have exposed cats and rats and dogs and mice to these pollutants and seen they - at a certain concentration - begin to

have an adverse impact on [the animals], which are somewhat models of the human system. Then we can extrapolate from there that humans

will experience an impact.”

Criteria pollutants have different concentration values, but in order for the gener-

al public to understand the air quality index, the NAAQS is arbitrarily set at 100.

“For example, one hour of carbon monoxide at 35 ppm will have a value of 100 (units). Sulfur dioxide at 75 parts per billion would have

a value of 100. We have brought all these six pollutants to a common denominator with the help of the air quality index and it is 100,” Aneja

said. “A value of 100 units for the pollutant means that is the maxi-mum tolerated by the NAAQS. Above 100 would be harmful to

us; below 100, we’ll be OK.”

STORY BY LAURA WILKINSON | GRAPHICS BY SUSANNAH BRINKLEY

PROFESSOR EXPLAINS EPA’S AIR QUALITY INDEX

For each pol-lutant there is a primary and secondary standard. The

primary standard represents its impact on humans. The secondary standard represents

its impact on human welfare – buildings, environment, vegetation – everything that isn’t human health.

“One hour concentration ought not to exceed 35 ppm (parts per million) for carbon monoxide. This 35 ppm is the National

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for one hour of carbon monoxide, which means for one hour the concentration of CO should not exceed 35 ppm,” Aneja said. “Similarly, there is an eight

hour standard. We make measurements of carbon monoxide continuously and we average this continuous measurement for

one hour. That’s the starting point for air quality indexing.”

Value

ranges correspond to different colors, ranging from green to ma-roon. Green and yellow, representing

levels below 100 units, indicate the air quality is generally safe for everyone. Any higher than 100 units, indicated by code orange up to

code maroon, begins to be unsafe for the public.“In general, when the public sees green, everything is hunky-dory. When it

says red, purple and maroon it sees things are going bad. In Raleigh and in the state of North Carolina in general, there are only two pollutants that we need to

concern ourselves with – ozone and particulate matter. If any of the pollutants reach orange, then it is a code orange for the air quality as a whole. It doesn’t have to be all six [pollutants], it can be any one of them,” Aneja said. “During summer, we

normally approach orange, but never exceed orange. Orange is above the NAAQS. Most of the time we are in moderate and good in Raleigh

and the Triangle. We never go to red, purple or maroon. Los Angeles is purple - there are so many cars and

its topography is a valley.”

up, but can still be seen. The best thing about all these

fashion choices is you have all these things in your wardrobe already – you just get to wear them in new and exciting ways!

One word of advice: these outfits are great for go-ing out or hanging with friends, but most are not OK for work or an interview. You could look too trendy or could misuse the rules and end up looking ridiculous. The only exception are tweeds or a small houndstooth pattern, since these do not stand out as much and can be worn with plaids or other matching patterns.

I remember looking at gladi-ator sandals thinking “who thought these up?” and now I own about four pairs. New fashion trends rarely feel com-fortable the first time, so take baby steps. First a scarf, then a shoe, then a whole outfit. Most new fashion trends don’t look quite right when you put them on. Just remember, if you don’t feel like you look good, no one else will either.

PATTERNScontinued from page 5

Sportsboth runs scored (11) and walks (nine).

Wilson belted his first professional home run on July 11 against the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes in what was perhaps his most im-pressive performance of his minor league career so far. He finished the con-test with two RBI and came just short of hitting for the cycle, needing only a triple to complete it.

Many would expect the level of competition to be the main difference be-tween college and profes-sional baseball. But Wilson said there is even more of a difference in lifestyle.

“The main difference is that you are your own as an individual,” Wilson said. “N.C. State didn’t necessarily tell us what to do in terms of our daily schedule, but now you have to do everything on your own and make your own decisions, so it takes some getting used to.”

Wolfpack baseball coach Elliott Avent said Wilson will take advantage of the opportunity in front of him because Wilson has been working toward the chance to play profession-

ally his entire life.“He’s living the dream he

has had since high school, and that’s playing professional baseball,” Avent said. “I know Russell, and I know he’s excit-ed about this opportunity he’s worked so hard for.”

While Wilson is currently focusing on improving as a baseball player, Wolfpack fans can count on seeing his No. 16 jersey under center by the time

the start of the football season rolls around on September 4 against Western Carolina.

“I’m definitely excited for the football season,” Wilson said. “I’m focusing on baseball right now but I’ve been working out everyday, still getting my lifting and running in and throwing the football around some so I’ll be ready when August comes around.”

heralded recruits of Sidney Lowe’s tenure in Ryan Har-row, Lorenzo Brown and Tracy Smith. Team Stack-house’s roster includes UNC sophomore John Henson and Tar Heel recruits Reg-gie Bullock and Harrison Barnes.

The fact that their sum-mer league game Tuesday night drew a crowd of such proportions is a testament to the amount of respect Harrow, Brown and Leslie are bringing to Wolfpack basketball months before they ever put on red and white jerseys.

“The interest is clearly be-hind the fact that the N.C. State basketball program is extremely relevant,” Reese said. “There is an awful lot of promise that is associated with those kids coming in. Ryan Harrow is a great kid and C.J. and Lorenzo are unbelievable players, so I can understand why it is that way. ... The relevancy of the N.C. State program has heightened our N.C. Pro-Am to the point where we could never imagine and we are very happy about that.”

Those among the 1,000 turned away missed out on an uncharacteristically

intense basketball in a game played in a summer league en-vironment devoid of half-court sets and many other staples of ACC basketball.

“The first 10 or 20 minutes of that game, it was like they were playing for a champion-ship,” Reese said. “It was ‘for real’ basketball.”

But Tuesday was not the last time before the regular season that fans can catch a glimpse of the Pack’s prized recruits tak-ing on their future UNC rivals. Team McGladrey will take on Team Stackhouse in a rematch Tuesday, July 20 at 9 p.m. at McLendon-McDougald.

“There’s another N.C. State-UNC matchup next week too and people don’t know that yet,” Reese said. “I think that’s going to be pretty big. We did that on purpose because some of the guys may not be here the week after next. Everything is done on purpose. There are no mistakes in this.”

to get ahead. We will continu-ally try to grow the program in every facet and every way pos-sible. One of my dreams has al-ways been to have our guys play in front of a packed house ev-ery night. I’m sure Debbie Yow shares those same visions. She is committed to assessing our program and finding ways to not only improve athletically, but academically as well.

Technician: What does she bring to the table in terms of her beliefs toward improving Wolfpack athletics?

Avent: She’s a worker. She believes that you have to care about your athletes, care about the programs and sincerely be-lieve that you can put a winner out on that field. During the last few years, at times, that has not necessarily been the case here at N.C. State. She brings a new sense of energy and a new sense of accountability.

Technician: Overall, how do you feel about Yow and the decision to make her State’s athletic director?

Avent: I think it was a great decision. Chancellor Randy Woodson said that one of the things he was looking for was a proven winner and she has obviously done that.

Avent: Yow brings energyEditor’s note: In each of the remaining summer editions of Technician, a different varsity head coach will discuss the hire of athletic director Debbie Yow.

Baseball coach Elliott Avent, who has been the Wolfpack baseball coach since 1996, offered his opinions regarding the hire of new athletic director Debbie Yow. In 2010, Avent led his team to the finals of the ACC Tournament Championship and a trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C. for an NCAA Regional.

Tucker FrazierDeputy Sports Editor

Technician: What were your initial thoughts when you first heard Debbie Yow was N.C. State’s new athletic director?

Avent: I was on a recruit-ing tr ip at t h e t i m e so I didn’t have ma ny thoughts ini-tially.

I didn’t fol-low the hir-ing process too closely, but I thought the University did a great job of keeping it qui-et. After I heard the news of her hire, I was immediately looking forward to meeting her.

Technician: Describe your first interaction with her and how you felt after meeting her.

Avent: My first interaction with her came during her press conference at Vaughn Towers. I thought she gave an unbeliev-able press conference. It was not scripted. There were some tough questions out there but she did a great job of answering each one. She showed who she really was and how passionate she is about her role at N.C. State. I wanted to see someone with the type of passion, work ethic and pride necessary to get N.C. State athletics back to where it once was. I have no doubts she can achieve that.

Technician: What type of changes do you foresee her making to the baseball pro-gram?

Avent: I honestly don’t expect many changes. The N.C. State baseball program has a rich history and has always been

synonymous with pride. However, if you stand still in any sport, or even stand stil l in life, you are obvi-ously going backwards. You cannot remain sta-

tionary in anything and expect

Hundreds turned away from packed Pro-Am

Wilson finds early success in Washington

N.C. Central’s gym quickly fills to capacity, forcing Durham police to turn away throng of fans thirty minutes before tipoff

Tyler EverettSports Editor

The f irst showdown between the headliners of State and UNC’s 2010 freshman classes attracted much more than a packed house to N.C. Central’s McLendon-McDougald Gymnasium in Durham Tuesday night. The crowd, which nearly filled the gym an hour before the 8 p.m. Greater N.C. Pro-Am game between Team McGladrey and Team Stackhouse, was only growing larger before Durham police officers were forced to intervene. Erroll Reese, community relations director for the Greater N.C. Pro-Am, which is in its third year, moved the game’s start time from 6 to 8 p.m. in an effort to accommodate what he expected to be a large crowd.

“I suggested that people get there early,” Reese said. “I said that because I an-ticipated there would be some interest.”

McLendon-McDougald quickly filled to it’s ca-pacity of 3,100, and at 7:30 p.m., with hundreds more waiting outside, a police sergeant instructed onlookers to head home, as the event had been de-clared a fire hazard.

“We were overblown, overwhelmed, whatever word you want to use, by the crowd,” Reese said. “It

was the most amazing thing we have ever seen. It was char-acterized as crazy. It was just incredible, the hype around it, the interest and just the number of people, that were in the building, and unfortu-nately outside it as well. We had to turn away at least 1,000 people.”

Along with diehard Wolf-pack and Tar Heel fans, hundreds of neutral fans had combined to swamp the streets surrounding Central’s gym well before tip-off of the

pro-am game between Team McGladrey and Team Stack-house.

The Greater N.C. Pro-Am is an annual summer basket-ball league featuring a mix of established ACC basketball players, highly-touted incom-ing recruits and high school players.

No one else is getting in.”

Two-sport star heating up for Tri City Dust Devils

Tucker FrazierDeputy Sports Editor

After being selected by the Colorado Rockies in the fourth round of the 2010 MLB Draft, Wolfpack quarterback Rus-sel l Wilson has hit the ground run-ning to begin his profes-sional base-bal l career. He made an instant im-pression in h i s m i nor league debut June 25, go-ing 1 for 3 at the plate with two RBI and two runs scored, propelling the Tri City Dust Devils to a 10-5 victory.

“It’s just been a great feeling to be out here playing baseball and being able to compete ev-ery night,” Wilson said. “It’s a different level of competition that I look forward to playing against day in and day out.”

Wilson has felt right at home

so far in his young career with the Rockies organiza-tion, even though he is play-ing 2,750 miles away in Pasco, Wash. The two-sport star is also adjusting to second base, a position he played sparingly throughout his most recent season with the Wolfpack.

“It’s actually been pretty easy,” Wilson said. “I played a lot of second base my first two years at N.C. State. I didn’t play it that much this year but I would al-ways work in the infield when I could, sometimes during bat-ting practice, to try and get

some extra work in. I definitely enjoy playing second and think it’s a good position for me.”

Through 17 games, the na-tive of Richmond, Va. is bat-ting .246 with seven RBI and is second on the Dust Devils in

Quarterback named to O’Brien Watch ListRussell Wilson’s name was one of 30 released Wednesday on the 2010 Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award Watch List. Wilson, a rising junior on the gridiron, was one of 13 juniors and 5 ACC players on the list. Other ACC quarterbacks on the list were Georgia Tech’s Josh Nesbitt, Virginia Tech’s Tyrod Taylor, Florida State’s Christian Ponder, and Miami’s Jacory Harris. In two seasons with the Pack, Wilson has thrown for 4,982 yards and 48 touchdowns, good enough for fifth and third, respectively, in Wolfpack history.
