Twelve graduate architecture students designed and built a space to spruce up Durham Central Park.

Brooke WalligNews Editor

As part of a Design Build studio project, 12 graduate studies from the College of Design’s School of Archi-tecture worked this summer to add a functional yet creative addition per-formance space for Durham Central Park.

According to Ellen Cassilly, project advisor and president of Ellen Cassilly Architect, Inc. , this type of project provides an alternative type of learn-ing—one that gives students the op-portunity to get out of the classroom and into real-world experiences.

“When I went to school what you did was between you and the instructor or Scantron creator. It was a very private matter if you did poorly or did well on something. But here there’s a certain ego that’s on the line. But when design students design something and hang it on the wall, people are going to see it,” Cassilly said. “But if they design something and build it in the middle of a park, a lot of people are watching, they want it to be really good. They want to take pictures of it and put it in their portfolio. So I think there’s a wonderful dose of ego—I think in the very best way—that’s involved here and I think it’s a really good motiva-tional factor.”

While Cassilly said the project got its start with $12,000 donation from Duke Energy, more than half of the project will be funded by the commu-nity through the use of a website called Kickstarter.com. This site allows po-tential project organizers to submit a proposal online for public viewing,

Student center construction progresses quickly as summer nears its end.

John WallStaff Writer

Although the Talley Student Center remains open and operational, con-struction surrounds the building that will soon take on a new façade.

The two-story building behind Tal-ley that once housed the bookstore and C-Store was demolished, and the roadway in front of Talley is closed to through traffic. Physical changes to the student center itself have yet to begin.

Students who walk by the site will see a flurry of activity on a day-to-day basis. Now that the bookstore building has been torn down, construction is cur-rently focused on underground work that must f irst be accomplished before any structural work can begin.

“Primarily we’re work ing on t he site work including chilled water lines, steam lines, electri-cal and data work underground and clearing the site to prepare it for con-

struction,” said Tim Hogan, director of University student centers opera-

tions.Project planners

said they do not want construction to inconvenience those traveling on foot, and left gaps in fencing around the site to a l low foot traffic to reach Talley, Carmichael gym and other des-t inations around campus. In the last week, the pathway

has been consolidated to one walk-way through the construction rather

than two paths.“It’s a construction site, and

we’re attempting to accommodate as many people as possible know-ing that we are going to have de-tours along the way,” Hogan said. “Hopefully people will be cogni-zant that we are doing the best that we can to accommodate all our students on campus.”

Incoming freshmen and return-ing students alike must deal with the obstruction. Orientation at-tendee Evan Hartshorn said construction has caused a large inconvenience in his orientation experience, especially since many

A massive fire destroyed one apart-ment building containing twelve units at Gorman Crossing Tuesday after-noon as fire fighters worked to contain the blaze.

Raleigh Fire Department arrived at the complex, located at the corner of Avent Ferry Road and Gorman Street, just before 5:30 p.m., accord-ing to Jim Sughrue, director of public affairs for Raleigh Police Department. At 6:30 p.m., the fire had already af-fected a dozen units.

“The fire started on the first floor and quickly moved to the second floor,” John McGrath, Raleigh Fire chief, said.

No injuries were reported, but seven N.C. State students were displaced, ac-cording to Capt. Jon Barnwell of Uni-versity police. Campus police were on the scene – not in a law enforcement capacity, but to assist any students involved.

“We responded to that incident be-cause of the proximity to campus, and with the knowledge that complex may have some student residents,” Barn-well said.

Together with the American Red Cross, apartment complex owners arranged for those affected to have a place to stay.

“It’s still a work in progress. Of course those who were involved lost everything, pretty much,” Barnwell said.

Miriam Morton, an alumna and resident of the apartment complex who arrived home during the fire, said that the buildings affected by the fire collapsed.

“[When I first walked in] I saw smoke and helicopters before I could turn into the apartment complex,” Morton said in a phone interview Tuesday afternoon. “There was a lot of traffic because roads were closed just outside of the complex.”

Morton said there were swarms of

emotional residents in the commu-nity when she first arrived as residents evacuated from at least 11 units in the complex.

“There were about 100 people out-side,” Morton said. “A lot of people came running through and crying trying to get to their house and check on things inside their homes.”

A dense crowd -- residents and oth-erwise -- surrounded the fire. One resident who lived in a building that burned to the ground cried from be-hind police tape as she observed the devastation.

Amanda Frank lin stood and watched firefighters scramble around the scene. She arrived at the fire when

it first started around 4:30 p.m. She lives in a building no further than 30 feet from a building that at 6:30 p.m. had been totally de-stroyed.

“The trees and bushes right next to my apartment caught fire, but firefighters put them out,” Frank-lin said. “It spread quickly.”

A fire started in the kitchen of a Gorman Crossing apartment about the same time last year, according to seven-year resident Cheryl El-Haimeur.

“I run a business out of my apartment, and I was worried to-day -- as I was last year -- that my apartment and all of my posses-sions would go up in flames,” El-Haimeur said.

Last year’s fire occurred in the building directly across the street from the building that burned down Wednesday. Someone had left the stove on, and smoke began to bellow from the apartment. No major damage occurred as fire-fighters quickly contained that previous incident, El-Haimeur said.

In an attempt to alleviate the hardship of those affected, El-Haimeur offered the use of her apartment to an American Red Cross representative for any of those left homeless.

As of Tuesday evening, the fire was mostly contained. Small flames jumped up from smoldered sections of affected areas, but they were promptly extinguished by firefighters.

Firefighters remained on the scene overnight until Wednesday morning to ensure that the fire was fully extinguished. Once crews de-termined the scene was safe, they handed the property over to com-plex management. Residents were then allowed to “salvage what they could,” Whitley said.

National conference showcases the future of electronic transportation.

Alanna HowardWindhover Editor-in-Chief

With the average price for gas in the Raleigh area at $3.69 per gallon and the nation-wide average just one cent less, all eyes at the Plug-In 2011 conference were focused on the future of transportation, specifi-cally on moving away from gasoline-powered vehicles.

The four day conference at the Raleigh Convention Center focused on uniting electric car manufacturers, area energy companies and companies behind home-charging stations with ed-ucational tools to inform public and private busi-nesses about the benefits of these new technologies.

Christina Motley, a recent Raleigh transplant, said she thought it was important that conference organizers invited more than the car companies.

“People with either embrace this new technology, and un-derstand how it can fit into their lifestyle, or they won’t buy these cars, and the electric car will fail,” Motley said. “I think it shows great things for the city of Raleigh to have gotten to host this con-ference. I’m sure it was up against some other tough cities on the eastern sea-board.”

Some of the companies represented are Nissan, Ford, GE, Sie-mens Energy, Leviton and Umicore Bat-ter y Rec y-cling. In total, five car manu-facturers will showcase their hybrid and electric fleets, and dozens of car charging systems will be showcased. During the conference, which ends today, companies participated in workshops centered around electric vehicle readiness, edu-cating younger generations on

merits of the electric car initia-tive, and how to coordinate the implementation of a national charging grid to phase out gas stations.

According to Katie Michel, a representative for Blink, one of the vehicle charging

station com-panies, they a r e w or k-ing to put c a r cha rg-ing stations in accessible areas. Michel said Blink is currently in t a l k s w it h Cracker Bar-rel to include charging sta-tions at in-terstate loca-tions across

the country.“Our philosophy is to put a

charging station where some-one would naturally want to stop. When you stop to eat, your car can be charging,” Michel said. “We also want to include them at places like li-braries, sports arenas, and oth-er major infrastructure areas

where people are naturally already resting.”

Part of the conference’s public appeal was the July 19 public night where visi-tors could view the show-room f loor, sit in cars, and speak with companies about specifics for a home charging station. Energy companies were available for discussion about charg-ing for energy usage at night (during off-peak hours) and making their garage charger socket-friendly.

John Garrison, a junior in computer science, said this would be one the most interesting parts of the con-ference.

“I’d like to be able to dis-cuss how much my energy company will be charging me to charge my vehicle. Al-though it might be cheaper than gas, you have to add a charging station, and that won’t pay for itself imme-diately,” Garrison said. “I’ll also like to know how much these electric vehicles will cost me.”

CorreCtions & ClarifiCationsIn July 14’s story “The eye-opening irony of tear gas,” Benjamin Quigley’s name was misspelled in the photo captions.

The July 14 edition’s story “Racial slur in ‘The Brick’ raises ire,” contained several mistakes.

Although the representatives of Student Media did meet July 8 to discuss “The Brick,” they reached a compromise on the sticker July 11, not July 8 as originally reported.

Tracey Ray’s title was incorrect. Her actual title is assistant vice provost for student diversity. The Brick is 128 pages, not 129 as originally reported.

The July 14 story “University forced to bear millions in cuts,” incorrectly reported that deans would have to cut 10 percent from each college. They will actually have to cut 7 percent.

In the Nov. 8, 2010 edition, the feature photo “Remember, remember, the fifth of November,” was altered to obscure a racial slur in the Free Expression Tunnel, violating Student Media’s code of ethics, which prohibits photo editors from manipulating images in a way that would mislead viewers or misrepresent subjects.

which will describe their proj-ect, funding needs along with a deadline to receive the fund-ing. Rewards are also used to encourage people to “back” their project.

One unique aspect of this site is its “all-or-nothing” funding, meaning that if the fundraising goal isn’t met by its deadline, the project receives none of the pledged money.

According to Randy Lanou, president of BuildSense and an-other project advisor, there has been a lot of com-munity sup-port that has been further enhanced by the project’s Kickstarter page, which al lows sup-p or te r s to ask questions a b o u t t h e project and allows organizers to give up-dates on its progress.

“If the tremendous sup-port we’ve seen on the Kick-starter website and publicly and with the Durham Central Park Board and local Durham community are any indication, it’ll be very well received. When you do a project like this—and we do this kind of work pro-fessionally as well—one that’s delightful but different, they don’t breed apathy,” Lanou said. “Everyone has a reaction to it. But so far the overwhelm-ing reaction to it has been posi-tive, and I expect that to con-tinue.”

Lanou said the project has been more than successful as

a result of the hard work of the graduate architecture students.

“The 12 graduate students are phenomenal, the design is de-lightful and I think it does what they want it to do—providing a place for shade and a stage and is something that will be a beautiful building in the land-scape as well,” Lanou said. “I genuinely like this project and what the students have done.”

But Lanou also said this project has not gone without several of its own challenges.

“The big challenge is always time. You’re trying to condense a project that you have a sub-

plan review, the full de-sign process, publ ic and community rev iew and approval, and getting t he bu i ld-ing permit all in about 11 weeks. To pull that off re qu i re s a near miracle,” Lannou said.

“One of the reasons this is such a great educational experience is that rather than doing some-thing theoretical, they are hav-ing to jump through the hoops that come along with the con-struction process.”

According to Cassilly, the project’s design was one of the major reasons why the project was able to progress so quickly.

“We knew [the project] would be really fast track. Nor-mally site plan approval takes four to six months, and ours took four to six weeks, which was really good,” Cassilly said. “We specifically designed it in a way so it wouldn’t be com-plicated.”

The project reached its Kick-

starter fundraising goal 10 days before its deadline, which is July 23. But Cassilly said the project is far from over, and more support is needed to en-sure the project’s long-term success.

“One of the things we did to make the approval process go more quickly is we made it so there is no power in this structure—no lighting. We knew that going in and we put a conduit in for later, so when students were done we’d launch a second phase of the project,” Cassilly said. “That’s why we’d really like to surpass our Kick-starter fundraising goal.”

The $120 million project, which Chancellor Woodson said is paid for by student fees, is on schedule, accord-ing to Hogan.

Sophomore in biological science Melodi Charles will graduate before the project is completed in late 2014.

“I’m sure students in the fu-ture will appreciate [the new Talley],” Charles said. “Stu-dents now are either indiffer-ent or they hate it.”

Although Charles will not be able to reap the full benefits of the new student center, she said she understood that her student fees would go toward the project. If past students had protested paying for building projects, then “nothing would have gotten done.”

Fire victim holds on to her threatened companions

N.C. State graduate experienced the angst of losing her home and possibly her pets.

Connie Starkey, an N.C. State alumna in history, returned home to the sur-prise of a fire blazing through her apart-ment at Gorman Crossing complex. She watched as flames envelop her residence panicking that her pets were stuck in-side.

Ignoring the orders from fire mar-shals, Starkey’s friend rushed into the burning complex and rescued her dog,

Titan. However, still inside her burning

home were her two cats: Sissy and Lula. While most firemen worked to extin-

guish the fire that a faulty electric box sparked July 19, a team of firefighters rushed into Starkey’s now destroyed apartment to save the cats.

Firemen managed to find Sissy—who was still wet from water sprayed from the fire truck.

“I really didn’t expect to see her again,” Starkey said after the firemen rescued Sissy. “They are lifesavers.”

The firemen proceeded to give Sissy oxygen from their gas masks to bring Sissy back to normality.

However, in the aftermath of the fire, Starkey lost nearly everything—her home was completely lost. And Lula was missing.

The next day, amongst the rubble and ash, many expected to only find despair and remorse. But Starkey found Lula, who returned to her former home.

Despite the loss of her residence and possessions, Starkey still has Titan, Sissy and Lula.

I would like begin this response by stating that this will be based

on my personal opinions and beliefs. It is impossible for me to share the thoughts

of an en-tire race. Writing a l e t t e r targeted towards an entire commu-nity proves t he f ac t that there might be a high level of ig no-

rance on this campus if one believes that all people of the same race think and act the same way.

As far as “The Brick” inci-dent is concerned, I feel that New Student Orientation made the right decision to pull copies of the publica-tion in order to encourage the student editors of “The Brick” to make alterations where they were needed. Even though I am a part of Student Media and realize that the First Amendment right is important, fellow staff members also must realize that the project was a joint effort with various organizations whose main intent was to highlight the best of the University.

In the initial student/ad-ministrator meeting to dis-cuss this situation, many of the student attendees men-tioned that they would not have put this picture in the

publication if they realized there was a racial slur at the top. It has been stated by many peo-ple that it is an unethical deci-sion to alter a picture, unless it is altered with a cropping tool.

It must also be stated that if you look in the code of ethics for Student Media you will see that media outlets are not en-couraged to use profanity, ob-scene language nor racial slurs. To my knowledge, since day one the standard at this institu-tion is that everyone is welcome no matter their race, gender or sexual orientation. Allowing such a photo to run in a publi-cation is a direct contradiction of words listed in the Student Media Code of Ethics, as well as of the morals and values set by the University. It is no longer viewed as just a student publi-cation when you decide to place this in New Student Orienta-tion packets.

You say that you are protect-ing the First Amendment rights of the students and faculty of this University, but you are guilty of the same censorship when you try to discourage students from speaking out against this issue, because it makes you uncomfortable to realize that race is still an is-sue in this country.

I believe that some students who don’t recognize the im-portance of this issue would more than likely agree with the statement included in last week’s Technician by Jonathan Miller who stated, “Person-ally it doesn’t offend me, so I don’t really worry about it.” If someone went into the Free Expression Tunnel and wrote

offensive language towards America, would they have the same reaction? I would predict that they would.

The reason this is not a big issue to the majority of the campus is because for the most part, the majority of the students here have not been targeted nor have had racial slurs directed at them in a public place such as the tunnel.

Many students say that they do not agree with the offensive language in the tunnel, but yet they decide to stay silent about the is-sue and hope that we push it back under the rug. We also continue to say that these are just words, but no matter what you choose to believe, words can be very dangerous.

If we are going to get rid of the problem this has to be a united effort. You don’t have to be a member of the African American com-munity in order to educate others about aspects of the community.

I will not continue to let this word have power. When people write this on the wall, they do not put their name next to it, so they are hardly a threat. However, these people must realize that we earned the right to be here and that we will stay here, so they should get used to that as well.

{ }Our view

The Brick, publication delivered to freshman at orientation this

summer, sparked controversy among students and adminis-tration about a particular pho-to selection. However, there was a different issue presented to Student Media. We were pre-sented with a tangible scenario concerning photojournalism ethics, and as journalists, we take ethics very seriously.

In November 2011, the same photo under scrutiny was printed in the Technician. However, someone in Student Media had altered the photo to blur out the racial slur. Brick editors did not know that the photo had been altered, and Technician editors were also unaware.

When the photo was reused in the Brick this summer, the

editors failed to notice the ra-cial slur, which was not the subject of the photo. The photo depicted two individuals wear-ing Guy Fawkes masks paint-ing in the tunnel on November 5, 2010.

Many at the Brick said that they would have not published the picture had they noticed the slur. At Student Media, our conclusion was the exact oppo-site. This is because Technician is a news source and the Brick is a different type of publication - it is promotional by nature and advertises for the University. As a representative of the Uni-versity, the depiction of a racial slur in the Brick is inappropri-ate and Assistant Vice Provost

for Student Diversity Tracey Ray made the right decision in pulling this publication until the photo was altered.

The case is entirely different for Technician. We should have published the photo in No-vember unaltered because any other action goes against our Code of Ethics. Our Code of Ethics states: “The goal of any journalist - whether a reporter, a photojournalist, a designer or an editor - is to seek truth and publish it.”

Journalism is an institution of truth. It strives to be objec-tive, factual and honest and present the public with valid and relevant information.

The news is supposed to de-

pict reality for its readers. Al-tering the image or choosing to hold it because it may be of-fensive goes against everything journalists attempt to do. The reality at N.C. State may not always be pretty, but it is the truth. As journalists we must publish what will best illustrate our stories, and more than that, we must make sure that what we are presenting is true.

Our job is to document re-ality. We don’t intend to pro-mote the ideas represented by what we report. We merely re-port the world before us. It is the job of the community to interpret what we report and take appropriate action. This is why the Brick and Dr. Ray’s measures were appropriate, but for the purposes of our publication, we cannot say that we would have done the same.

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.

Student Media will publish the truthThe FacTs:The Brick is a student publication highlighting traditions at N.C. State presented to first-year students at New Student Orientation each year. This summer, the Brick unintentionally published a photo of the free expression tunnel that contained a racial slur. It altered the photo before distributing the rest of its copies.

Our OpiniOn:The Brick issue brought up the issue of photojournalism ethics. We believe that the Brick made the right decision by altering the photo before redistributing the publication. However, as an objective news source, Technician would not have done the same.

Letter to the Editor: Refusing to “Embrace the Hate”

After reading Brent Kitchen’s editorial, I am not sure what I found most disconcerting: the author’s social ignorance or his failure to see the implications of the issue at hand.In protesting the publication of an offensive photograph, Dr. Tracey Ray did not choose to inhibit freedom of speech. She chose to take a stand against hatred and racism. The photo containing the image of this racial slur was to be included in a publication that, according to Kitchen, is intended to “introduce students to the traditions at State.” Racism is not, and should never be, advertised as part of N.C. State’s legacy and tradition. As an N.C. State student, I would be ashamed and disgusted to be portrayed as a supporter of inequality and racial oppression.I’m sure that I am not alone.Furthermore, it is ridiculous to suggest that the refusal to accommodate racial injustice and intolerance hinders race relations within our country and our university. If all injustices were simply accepted, where would we be today? Crucial social movements within the United States, including, but not limited to, the Civil Rights movement and the Women’s Rights movement, would never have occurred unless disadvantaged groups refused to “embrace the hate.”I would recommend that Mr. Kitchen spend a day in the shoes of one of his African-American peers. Maybe then Dr. Ray’s reaction would seem less “insane.”

Only the offended can say what is offensive

Dear Brent,I am responding to your letter about equality, if that’s what you were aiming for, in the Technician. I first would like to say thank you for your opinion about this situation. There are some flaws in what you have written, however. You have titled the article “Dear black community, embrace the hate,” but you really should have entitled it “Dear Dr. Tracy Ray, embrace the hate”. It seems as though the majority of what you have written was directed to Dr. Ray instead of the black community. One thing you failed to acknowledge in the article is that Dr. Ray represents the black community and you did not address it that way but in a way to pick on only Dr. Ray.Towards the rest of the article, I think that the comment, “It is precisely this knee-jerk reaction by both the black community and the administration that is holding back race relations in America and specifically at this University,” is a contradiction to the situation at hand. Basically you are saying the ones who are offended are the ones that are preventing this University from prospering, but that’s not exactly the big fuss of the matter. It’s the ones, as yourself, who want to accept all this hateful messages that are keeping things from progressing. It’s always the people who go against change that cause the most problems. Most times, the ones who cause the hate messages try and get a reaction from people. You mentioned equality at this school but of course the races that are not targeted would feel as though this school would be equal if the black community would accept racism. But what if the script flipped? What if someone wrote something offensive about you, your race, your family or something personal and valuable in your life? Would you accept the same message you sent the black community, to accept the hatefulness? No! You wouldn’t accept disrespect. So I think as long as you are not the one being offended then you cannot suggest for us to just get over the situation easily.

FeaturesThe Bellybutton Biodiversity team studies the hundreds of bacteria strains that live on us daily.

Mark HerringEditor-in-Chief

Everyone, even the most ar-dent of “germophobes,” have hundreds of bacteria teaming on their bodies—eating prod-ucts secreted by pores and other microbes. But according to the Bellybutton Biodiversity research team of the biology department, this is not bad or gross, but actually normal and healthy.

“It has taken some time for a lot of people to actually under-stand how vast of an environ-ment our bodies are for bacte-ria,” Jiri Hulcr, postdoctoral researcher in biology, said. “I was even surprised at first.”

Stemming from previous research on the biodiversity of bacteria that grows on insects and an idea to do biology-education community out-reach, the bellybutton project

started in January and has grown in popularity.

“A lot of people take interest in their bellybuttons—they have a really funny, timid relationship with it,” Hulcr said. “So what we do is take samples of their bellybuttons with q-tips, then we put that in a biological buffer, spread that buffer on media dish and then let the bacteria culture.”

The researchers have tested over 1,500 people and of the first 95 have sequenced the DNA of the cultured bacteria.

“We have found 1,400 unique strains of bacteria in this sequencing,” Hulcr said. “I was taken aback at first. But it makes sense. We have a lot of skin. We ooze a lot of things that bacteria feast on.”

And it’s good for us. Hulcr said if not, we would be over-run with our own skin secre-tions.

“These bacteria clean up all the stuff we produce on our skin,” Hulcr said. “Also, they keep each other in check. A diverse community of bacteria makes us safer and less prone to

infection.”The skin is an ecosystem, and

like the macro-biomes we are familiar with, diversity ensures balance.

“If one bacteria dominates, then the immune system is prone to infection and the like-lihood of a bad bacteria taking over is increased,” Hulcr said. “If you do something to your immune system, then you get the weedy kinds to grow, caus-ing infection. You can also get yeasts growing on your skin—which is not pleasant.”

More bacteria is actually

better than very little, Hulcr said. However, not all bacteria is benign.

“Are some of these bacteria pathogens? Absolutely. The reason why they are not eating us alive is due to this diversity,” Hulcr said.

Nina Rountree, recent gradu-ate in biological sciences and biochemistry, said the biodi-versity issue is comparable to hunting season.

“You don’t want to kill off all the deer in a forest,” Rountree said. “You wouldn’t want to do the same with bacteria on your body. It’s all about symbiosis.”

Hulcr and Rountree said the purpose of their research is not to only document and study the bacteria growing on the human body, but also to educate the importance of bacteria to hu-man health.

“We have a very bad image of bacteria,” Rountree said. “Gross—germs. Sure, bacteria is not a desirable thing, but we

shouldn’t go on a bacte-ria tirade.”

This brings up a point Rob

Dunn, assis-tant profes-sor in biol-ogy, wrote about i n Scientific

American, a natural sci-

ences maga-zine. Dunn is also

involved in the Belly-button Biodiversity project.

According to Dunn’s re-search, antibiotic wipes and hand sanitizer gels are harmful to bacterial biodiversity.

“The rea l ly int r iguing news—a k ind of brea k-through—is that the main compounds in antibiotic wipes, creams and soaps, triclosan and or the chemically similar

triclocarban, have also been sprinkled around our lives more generally,” Dunn wrote.

His article in Scientif ic American cites the danger of the overuse of antibacterial attitudes.

Rountree pointed out two types of bacteria—natives and tourists. The natives, ac-cord i ng to Rountree, are harmless. The tourists, how-ever, can be troublesome.

“What is desirable is...to kill the tourists who have just turned up but not yet estab-lished, or at least the danger-ous among those newly arrived species,” Dunn wrote. “Kill the tourists is a reasonable hand washing motto.”

Kill the tourists but keep the natives—that is possible through hand washing, but

wiping out bacteria colonies with antibiotics can cause an imbalance, according to Dunn.

Bacteria multiple very quick-ly and with that comes frequent gene mutation, Hulcr said. The bacteria that live through the

antibiotic ho-locaust sur-vive to repro-duce, “and they become resistant to us.”

Instead of dousing oneself with antibacterial soaps and us-ing antibiotic

products, Hulcr said to stay clean but not to over worry.

“We’ve been living with these microbes for the thousands of years we’ve been around,” Hul-cr said. “We’ve survived and we are doing well with them. We do need them, so we shouldn’t eradicate them all.”

JP Morgan Chase pays settlement for bid-rigging actions to N.C. State and others

Young LeeCorrespondent 

According to a statement released by the North Caro-lina Department of Justice, N.C. State, Wake County and Charlotte will collectively re-ceive $126,326 from JP Mor-gan Chase as part of a settle-ment for its bid-rigging actions dur-ing a period of time span-n i ng f rom the late 1990s to 2005. N.C. State became involved in this incident because the University has a con-tract under a municipal b ond t h at was managed by JP Morgan Chase.

JP Morgan Chase cheated to win the right to manage the North Carolina municipal bond at a low financial cost during what was supposed to be a competitive bidding pro-cess. As economics professor Douglas Pearce explains, the type of bid rigging that JP Mor-gan Chase has admitted to is

one of obtaining information that was supposed to be held secret during the bidding pro-cess.

By obtaining information on what their competitors were bidding, JP Morgan Chase was able to bid just high enough to win the right to manage the bonds but not as high as they would have bid had they not known what their competitors were bidding.

This is a particularly serious offense because as Attorney General Roy Cooper said in a

written state-ment, “At a t i me when e ver y dol-lar counts , this scheme unfairly kept money from local govern-ment s a nd schools.”

Bid rigging is both un-law f u l and unethical ac-cording to the N.C. Judge as-sociation of

judicial judges, but JP Morgan Chase is voluntarily coming forth to settle the issue.

However, the bond issue re-lating to N.C. State is just one of nearly 100 cases of rigging municipal bond auctions.

To settle this incident JP Morgan owes money to the Securities and Exchange Com-mission, the Office of Comp-

troller of Currency, the Inter-nal Revenue Service and vari-ous municipalities of which the $126,326 for N.C. State, Wake County and Charlotte is just a small part. In total, JP Morgan Chase will pay $228 million.

However Pearce said this is still a relatively small incident for big organizations like JP Morgan Chase. In fact, ac-cording to the Wall Street Journal, the investigation on JP Morgan Chase’s anti-com-petitive activity focused on “a small desk that was discontin-ued.” Despite the seriousness of the bid rigging actions JP Morgan Chase was involved in, this incident will not likely cause great harm to company’s future ventures.

While N.C. State and others involved in this matter will re-ceive this money, according to Provost Arden’s Executive As-sistant Sarah Cohen, the N.C. Department of Justice is still handling the money.

According N.C. Depart of Justice Public Information Officer Noelle Talley, as of July 15th, “the exact amount of money that Wake County, N.C. State and Charlotte will receive is still being determined.”

For now it seems all parties involved will have to wait just a little longer for this matter to be resolved.

FeaturesThe end of the shuttle program does not mark the end of U.S. space exploration.

Andrew BranchStaff Writer

U.S. astronaut Sandy Magnus wiped away tears as she and the Atlantis crew prepared to de-part the International Space Station for the last time.

“What a generation can ac-complish is a great thing,” shut-tle commander Chris Ferguson said Tuesday after undocking from the space station. “It’s got a right to stand back and for just a moment admire and take pride in its work.”

It can’t stand still long, how-ever, because with the shuttle hopefully landing safely at Kennedy Space Center around 6 a.m. Thursday, NASA and its N.C. State partners in space ex-ploration are turning their fo-cus to going further than ever.

According to NASA spokes-person Kelly Humphries, Con-gress and the Bush administra-tion in 2004 decided that once the ISS was completed, it was time for a change.

“We had done a lot of things with the space shuttle, but it was a dangerous vehicle to fly in some ways because of the way it was designed and it was ready to be retired,” Humphries said.

The decision wasn’t popular with some, with former John-son Space Center Director George Abbey pointing out the shuttle’s vastly superior cargo capacity and its sole ability to carry large pieces of the ISS in the event of large-scale repairs.

“If you stop the shuttle you are really severely impacting not only our ability to take Americans and people into or-bit, but also you are making it

difficult to support logistically the space station,” Abbey said.

“We certainly will miss the capabilities of the space shuttle to bring large pieces of cargo to the International Space Sta-tion,” Humphries responded, “but we believe we have a plan in place that will allow us to sustain the station for the re-mainder of its life.”

That plan includes, according to N.C. Space Grant director Chris Brown, buying seats on the smaller Russian Soyuz and back in the U.S., using com-peting private companies to develop a replacement shuttle system that reduces cost as well as sending cargo-only flights in the meantime.

Fred DeJarnette, mechani-cal and aerospace engineering professor, said the new lower earth orbit system will be two vehicles.

“They would have a sepa-rate launch with the materials and supplies and that vehicle doesn’t have to be built from a safety point of view as much as the second that would be car-rying astronauts,” DeJarnette said.

Kirsten Grantham, spokes-man for SpaceX, the farthest

along in the competition, said NASA made the right decision to encourage competition.

“With many companies com-peting for these contracts, the companies will have to compete on capability, reliability, and on affordability,” Grantham said. “And that means a better deal for the U.S. tax payers.”

SpaceX claims its Dragon crew vehicle will be well under a third of the cost of the shut-tle and has created a rocket it claims can carry twice the pay-load at 1/3 the cost of the closest counterpart. Blue Origin, an-other competitor, hopes to cre-ate a spacecraft that can reuse boosters to further reduce cost.

Abbey said he remained skeptical.

“Design and development always ends up taking more money and takes more time than you predicted that it would take,” Abbey said.

If commercial plans live up to the hype, it will come in handy since the struggling Federal government cut NASA’s bud-get recently by more than $1.6 billion, according to Brown.

While companies compete for interests i n NA SA’s lower earth orbit endeav-ors , NASA and its N.C. State partners are looking to create a new vehicle and rocket that can go well beyond Earth’s orbit.

Accord-i n g t o Humphries, President Barack Obama’s ef-forts are focused on sending humans to a near earth asteroid and eventually Mars in the next 30 years. NASA and its partners are hard at work building the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) and Space Launch System (SLS), a vehicle and rocket system that can be used not only with the ISS, but for taking humans to deep space.

Abbey criticized the Apollo-like capsule as backtracking.

“It can’t do extravehicular

activities like a shuttle,” Ab-bey said. “So it really has a lot of limitations, and it doesn’t give you any real capability that would even compare to a space shuttle.”

NASA, however, along with many at N.C. State, hopes the MPCV will be 10 times safer than the shuttle and Univer-sity researchers are working to develop technology necessary to sustain life on long missions.

DeJarnette is working on new thermal technology to protect the MPCV when it reenters

f rom de e p space at more than 25,000 mph.

“The new technol-og y wou ld provide for greater ther-mal protec-t i o n a n d higher struc-tural loads as well as lighter material,” De-Jarnette said.

Another problem fac-ing astronauts is their loss of

three percent of their bone mass each month in micrograv-ity—something they will never fully recover, according to the N.C. State news release. A team with the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering with UNC Chapel Hill just sent 30 mice to ISS to look at the affect of microgravity on bone mass at the molecular level.

“The gravity on mars is 0.36 g (36% that of Earth’s),” said Dr. Ted Bateman, the team’s

leader. “Astronauts on a mis-sion to Mars will have around 10 months of microgravity ex-posure in transit each way,”

Humans will also need life-support systems to sustain life on long-term missions. Imara Perera and her team of researchers, including under-graduates, have an experiment on the ISS researching affects of microgravity on plant growth at the molecular level—essen-tial to being able to grow plants in space in the future.

“Mars has an atmosphere but it is carbon dioxide but at a much lower pressure than what we experience here on earth,” DeJarnette said, “so it would take some adjustments for humans in various cases and would need to have a signifi-cant amount of life support sys-tem that they take with them.”

Astronauts on Mars will also need water. As part of an aero-space and textile engineering senior capstone research proj-ect headed by Warren Jasper that took on the challenges of living on Mars with radiation and meteorites, the existing Sabatier reactor—which uses carbon dioxide and hydrogen to make water and methane— was redesigned the nickel cata-lyst to allow the reactor to be smaller and more portable for a long mission.

While the team did not win the contest they entered, Jasper said it was profitable.

“We made some contacts with NASA which was more important for me,” Jasper said. “They were kind of intrigued with the idea.

long recruiting trip for the coach that will continue once again in the coming weeks.

Recruiting may be one of Gottfried’s focal points right now, but he also said that hav-ing talent at every position is not the only thing that a team needs to make it to the NCAA tournament. Scheduling the right opponents to earn a strong RPI is also a valuable component to a nationally ranked team.

“At the end of the day, the

goal is to put yourself in posi-tion to be in the NCAA Tour-nament, every year,” Gottfried said. “You may not be good enough in certain years some-times, but if your team can end up playing well and you get in a position what you don’t want to happen is that your schedule keep you out. We don’t want that to happen.”

While Gottfried clearly be-lieves that the Pack has a long battle to get to the top of the ACC, he has the players to com-pete in the conference this year.

Players like Brown, Leslie and senior guard C.J. Williams continue to make progress in

summer league basketball games and other players are transforming their games by changing their lifestyle.

Richard Howell, a junior forward, weighed 271 pounds when he first met Gottfried. The Georgia native has already cut down to 250 pounds and continues to impress his new coach.

“He looks different,” Gott-fried said. “He has gained self-discipline.”

Gottfried knows that the fu-ture of the program lies in the recruits that he is able to bring in for upcoming seasons, but he said in order to answer all of

the questions that fans have for him he will have to keep the players at the school and change their mindset to a winning personality.

“The players returning want to win, and they want somebody to help them get where they want to go, which is the NCAA Tour-nament,” Gottfried said. “What our staff has tried to do is make sure we spend a lot of time with our players and get to know them bet-ter. That was something we tried to as a staff.”

of the MLB June Amateur draft by the Angels and has chosen to participate in the league to con-tinue progressing while work-ing out a contract and making the decision about whether he will return to the Pack or play for the Angels.

For now, Gianis plays in the outfield for the Chatham An-glers. Overman said getting the chance to face players like

Gianis was fun“I got to face Gianis the

other night,” Overman said. “That was really fun. I get to face those guys during batting practice and stuff like that, but facing him during a game was completely different. It’s things like that which make this a completely different ex-perience than what I’m going to get anywhere else.”

playing with the team.The common theme between

all of these violations: one play-er started each one of them.

Marvin Austin of UNC tweeted about his excursions with agents, Cam Newton had a greedy father who was getting paid while he played for Au-burn, Terrell Pryor was getting inked up and driving around several expensive whips be-fore he and his coach left Ohio State and Georgia Tech had one player, Demaryus Thomas, re-ceived $312 worth of clothing that turned into a $100,000 fine, amongst other penalties.

With all of this in mind, Gra-ham’s comments meant much more than just to say that N.C.

State plays as a team, but they also know that one person vio-lating NCAA rules can mean the demolition of an entire program.

While the Pa c k h ave not been on stages such a s play i ng for the ACC champion-ship or a na-tional title, it was a com-petitive team this past year, finishing 9-4 after winning the Champs Sports Bowl.

And it was able to do all of this while staying clean and keeping their noses out of deals with agents or being paid

to play. This is all thanks to a compliance department that has ranked at the top nation-ally consistently in the last few years. A weak compliance

department can lead to problems in the program and an NCAA investigation.

For exam-ple, the com-pliance de-partment and honor court at UNC did not pay close enough atten-tion to foot-ba l l player

Michael McAdoo’s plagiarism, which led to his dismissal from the team.

With the knowledge instilled

in players like Graham and other student-athletes that the compliance department is watching over them every move they make, they know that they are a team that should not make the same mistakes that several other college programs have made over the past year.

Overall, one thing that the University’s compli-ance department should keep in mind is that one misstep can lead to a tragic fall for an entire program. Last year around this time, Auburn had one of the highest ranked compliance departments in the South Eastern Conference. This year – they are last.

“Selfish acts like

the ones that

happened at UNC

don’t happen here

because we

are a team.”T.J. Graham,

junior wide receiver

Someone once infamously said, “If you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying.” In recent years, this quote has surfaced in sports such as stock

car racing and ma-jor league baseball, but this year it can translate to several issues in col lege football.

A few weeks ago, I sat down with se-nior wide receiver T.J. Graham to dis-

cuss social media rules at N.C. State and how the University’s compliance department deals with the players.

During this interview, Graham disclosed his own personal opinion about why the Wolfpack don’t seem to have as many problems as some of the other programs nationwide.

“Selfish acts like the ones that hap-pened at UNC don’t happen here be-cause we are a team,” Graham said. “And we know that one person can take down a program.”

While this statement was clearly targeted towards UNC-Chapel Hill, the statement rings true for several other programs, football and basket-ball, that have taken a tumble over the course of this past year.

For starters, The University of Southern California Trojans proba-bly took the biggest hit thus far when it was discovered that Reggie Bush, a starting running back, was receiving improper benefits. The Bush inves-tigation led to the stripping of his Heisman Trophy, the team’s BCS National Championship from 2004 and a two-year ban of bowl games proactive to the penalties.

Since this retribution was handed down, several other BCS schools have been under investigation in-cluding: UNC, Auburn and Ohio State. Most recently, Georgia Tech has been stripped of its 2010 ACC title and put on two years of proba-tion for having an illegible player

Men’s basketball coach feels the program has a ‘long way to go.’

R. Cory SmithSports Editor

When Mark Gottfried first took the job of men’s basketball coach for the Wolfpack, a lot of questions were asked -- by fans and players.

“Guys want to know how they are going to fit in and they want to believe that we can win,” Gottfried said. “That was our job with these guys. We’ll see how it works out.”

Gottfried took on a job that had a lot of good players, such as for-ward C.J. Leslie and guard Lorenzo Brown, but they were not able to put it together last season and finished with a disappointing losing record beh i nd S id ne y Lowe.

Even with all of the players on the roster having po-tential, the former Alabama coach be-lieves that the team will still be looking up at teams like UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke this up-coming season.

“The way I get it, we were 5-11 in the ACC and 10th overall. Long way to go,” Gottfried said. “We’re at the bottom of the mountain looking up in my opinion. And that’s okay to be there. That’s where we are now. When I say it’s a long way to go and our guys have taken some positive steps, I’m not just talking about a guy’s ability to make a foul shot.

“I’m talking about a mindset that they begin to understand day in and day out what it takes to be success-ful.”

The first step many coaches take to change the perception of the Univer-sity to outsiders is to recruit heavily

and recruit players who fit into the sys-tem. Thus far, Gottfried has been able to do both since his hire.

With players like Ryan Harrow leav-ing the school, the Pack was left slim at the point guard position. Luckily, Gottfried was able to find a player who is able to distribute and averaged 13.3 points for Cal State Bakersfield.

Alex Johnson might not be the starter for the 2011-12 season, but having depth at the point guard position will be cru-cial for Gottfried and co. in the ACC.

“After Ryan [Harrow] left, we felt the need to get another ball handling guard,” Gottfried said. “We wanted to find a player that had graduated with the rules the way they are. He’s a great young guy, he’s a college graduate, he’s got maturity. He’s quick, he shoots it well and he’s got good leadership skills.”

Thomas de Thaey, a 6’8” 235 lb. power forward will also be joining the Pack. The com m it averaged 18.4 points and 6.8 rebounds per game this past season for the Belgium under-20 national team.

“Both guys, Thom-as [De Thaey] and Alex Johnson, both can contribute this year,” Gottfried said. “Thomas is a 20-year-old freshman. He’s a

physical guy who can really shoot it. We’re excited about him. Thomas had a lot of options, we were excited to get him. He can be a contributor.”

While he does not believe the 2011-12 season will have any incoming fresh-man coming in that immediately jump off of the page with their stats or size, the future looks bright.

Two high profile recruits have already committed to the Pack in four-star point guard Tyler Lewis and five-star shooting guard Torian Graham. Lewis has decided to transfer to Oak Hill for his senior season to hone his skills at

the point position and Graham will continue with Word of God Christian Academy.

Many coaches would be content with two standout players at the guard posi-tions, but Gottfried knows that it will take a lot more high profile recruits to compete with the talent in the triangle.

“Obviously we’re not allowed to talk

about those players that we are recruit-ing,” Gottfried said. “But it’s a high pri-ority for us to recruit great players who are great people that fit into N.C. State.”

Overman, Mathews and Gianis use summer ball to improve.

R. Cory SmithSports Editor

Summer league baseball is a place where collegiate players can hone their skills and play against some of the best amateur players in the coun-try.

Ryan Mathews, a rising redshirt senior, has done just that during his time roaming the outfield for the Wil-son Tobs of the Coastal Plain League. The Orlando, Fla. native played well enough so far to be named a starter for the All-Star game.

“The experience has been awesome thus far,” Mathews said. “I was cho-sen as a starter for the All-Star game, which shows that I’ve had a good sum-mer, I guess.”

Mathews summer has been a stellar one as he has compiled a .300 batting average, 27 RBIs, eight steals and his 11 home runs led the league before the All-Star game. Mathews also had a 13-game hitting streak at the begin-ning of the season that helped him earn a starting role after hitting a .408 average.

After being named an All-Star start-er for the National team, Mathews was also given a chance to partici-pate in the home run derby. Unlike the normal format of the MLB home run derby, the CPL home run derby consisted of 16 participants who went through three rounds in which every home run hit rolled over to the next round. Mathews finished in 3rd, com-ing just one home run short of mak-ing it to the finals.

While the experience for him is valuable, Mathews said he hopes that his numbers in the summer league will continue during the regular sea-son in the Spring with the Wolfpack.

“I really hope that my numbers here translate a lot,” Mathews said. “I’ve been glad to get a lot of at-bats during my time here and really hope that I get that opportunity in school as well. Hopefully I can come back and really help the Pack get where we want to be next year.”

Mathews said that his time spent in

the Coastal Plain League has helped him to gain confidence that he hopes will earn him a starting role this upcoming season. Chris Overman, a junior reliever, on the other hand has been attempting to move to a different position this year.

The junior earned the role of a late-in-ning reliever or shut down closer this past season, but says he hopes that he will be able to earn a spot as a starter during the 2012 season.

“When I came down here I really wanted to command a fourth pitch,” Overman said. “I really wanted to get command of a chan-geup and try to get a feel for that. I started a couple of games in my freshman year and I guess, well, I hope that’s what they want me to do this year.

“So there is definitely a lot of potential there. I think they are going to want to gear the fall towards me stepping into a starting role.”

Overman has compiled a staggering 0.52 ERA through 21 1/3 innings over the course of 14 appearances and has al-lowed just six hits while striking out 20 batters for the Harwich Mariners of the Cape Cod League.

The Cape Cod League is often re-ferred to as the highest level of col-legiate summer baseball because of the level of players that are invited to play in the league. While the play-ers might be some of the best in the nation, Overman said the fields are nothing special compared to the sta-diums he plays at in the ACC.

“Where we play at in the ACC is a stadium that can be filled with 4,000-plus fans on any g iven weekend,” O ve r m a n s a id . “Here in the Cape League it’s typically a lot of families and scouts that come out to watch you play. It’s a really cool at-mosphere and it kind of puts me in a relaxed mood and lets me think about

just the game of baseball.”Overman got the chance to face

another State player while playing in the Cape Cod League when he pitched to senior outfielder John Gianis this past week.

Lewis transfers to Oak Hill2012 commit Tyler Lewis has decided that he will transfer to Oak Hill Academy for his senior season. The Academy has produced several NBA players, such as Ty Lawson, Brandon Jennings and Rajon Rondo, just to name a few. The point guard transferred after averaging 27.2 points and 7.4 assists last season for Forsyth Country Day in Lewisville, N.C. Lewis leaves the school as the career leading scorer with 1,927 points.

Cole named to Butkus watch list6-foot-5, 239-lb. redshirt senior linebacker Audie Cole was moved to the middle linebacker position this spring. Linebackers coach Jon Tenuta has always put his smartest linebacker in the middle position and appears that the Butkus award watch list has noticed Cole’s play as well. It was announced last Thursday that the Monroe, Michigan native would be on the 2011 watch list for the Butkus award. Semi-finalists for the award will be named Oct. 24, finalists on Nov. 22 and the winners will be notified on Dec. 7.
