Leaders announce name change to help overcome stereotypes

Allie BeckettStaff Writer

Campus Crusade for Christ, an in-ternational Christian organization, has decided to change its name to Cru in an effort to eliminate some of the issues they faced with the original title.

Mike Mehaffie, campus director for Campus Crusade for Christ at N.C. State, said the organization’s original name was given when they were pri-marily a campus ministry, but they have since added many types of min-istries ranging from prison to military to athletes.

“Our leadership decided it was time to change the name and brand to bet-ter represent the scope of who we re-ally are,” Mehaffie said.

Mehaffie also noted the term “cru-sade” was off-putting because some have tried to associate their organiza-tion with the religious crusades that occurred between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries.

“Over the years the word ‘crusade’ has carried a negative overtone,” Me-haffie said. “Our name never had any ties to the crusades of old.”

Some may question whether the new name, Cru, will still bear the connota-tions associated with the term “cru-sade”, but Mehaffie says the new name is not short for anything.

“The branding process of who we are would be like Google, FedEx, or Starbucks; their names represent their company, but the meaning of the word is neutral,” Mehaffie said. “Cru is our new name in a similar fashion. It’s not short for anything. It’s just Cru.”

Several locations outside the U.S. have already changed the name to better represent their ministries, ac-cording to Mehaffie.

“Worldwide, some countries have long ago changed the name,” Mehaff-ie said, “For example, in Slovakia we are ‘Students Voice for Christ,’ and in England we are ‘Agape.’”

According to Mehaffie, though the

Hillsborough Street landmark the Brewery is tentatively planned to be demolished Monday morning at 6 a.m. after 28 years of business.

The bar and concert venue, which has hosted acts ranging from Black Flag to Cheryl Crow, will have its last show Saturday. Outrage and loathing emanated from Brewery management and employees – they were given nine days to vacate the premises so that a large-scale build-ing project could take its place.

Seven-year Brew-ery owner Tom Taylor said the situ-ation was handled inappropriately. Taylor owns the Brewery, but not the land it sits on. As outlined in his lease, his landlord was required to give him 30 days notice. Taylor said his landlord gave him no monetary compensation for being displaced.

“This is all very sudden for us,” Taylor said.

Taylor, Brewery employees and friends were at the bar Wednesday preparing for the inevitable. Al-though they had been moving things such as coolers out of the building all day, at 4 p.m. they sat around the

stage reminiscing about times past.Paul Huffman, singer of Embracing

Goodbye, will play with his band in their final show Friday – and it will be at the Brewery. Six years and three albums later, the band decided to end its career at the Hillsborough Street venue. Huffman was huddled around the stage Wednesday.

“The Brewery is home. We have been playing here since we started. We have known Tom for years, and he has always taken care of us,” Huff-man said.

Land developer Val Valentine, who bought the lot, had nothing to do with evicting the Brewery owner without a thirty-day notice. It was

the responsibility of previous owners to abide by the con-tract agreed upon by themselves and Taylor.

The Brewery has shows booked for the next four months. Organizers have been scrambling to inform bands that they no longer have a place to play.

W h i le t a l k i ng around the stage, Taylor brought up

an ironic story. Two years before he bought the Brewery, his car was towed from ValPark – a lot owned by Valentine. He had driven two and a half hours from the coast to see the show. The band playing that night gave him the $100 they made to get

Along with a name change, Peace plans to begin admitting men

Allie BeckettStaff Writer

The Peace College Board of Trustees has recently announced that the college plans to be re-named William Peace University and will begin admitting male stu-dents in the fall of 2012.

Though men are currently al-lowed to participate in some eve-

ning and online courses, this is the first time in the 154-year history that Peace College will be admitting male students to their day-time undergrad-uate programs.

“Becoming William Peace Univer-sity reflects our growth as an institu-tion and will deepen and broaden our ability to help our students succeed,” Beth Cherry, vice chair of the Board of Trustees, said.

“The needs of our students are al-ways changing, and Peace is chang-ing with them,” Cherry said. “This is a great day for our school.”

However, not everyone shares the

same enthusiasm for the intended changes. Several alumnae of Peace College gathered to protest the plans to make the college co-ed.

Christopher Goyette, a senior in mechanical engineering at N.C. State, said that he can understand the hesi-tation of some, but he thought the change to co-ed was necessary.

“Although it will take away from their traditions, I think it’s good for colleges to admit both sexes because it adds to the overall college experience,” said Goyette.

Some male students may feel hesi-tant to be one of the first men to attend

William Peace University in this fall, but Goyette said he would find the op-portunity exciting.

“I think it would be fun to be one of the first few guys,” said Goyette, “It would be cool to be there first rather than later on.”

According to Cherry, although the University will become co-ed with classes accessible to all students, they still intend to offer select single-gender courses in targeted disciplines where research shows that women and

Redevelopment extends West of campus on Hillsborough Street.

Forty-five years in the making, a construction project is under-way on Hillsborough Street that will include a parking deck, apartments, retail, healthcare and more.

The project will envelop land between where the restaurant Time Out and the recently closed comic book store currently stand. Demolition of buildings on that block began with the bar Farm House last week. The Brewery will be torn down Monday.

Developer and landowner Val Valentine has been working to acquire the land necessary for decades. Up until last month, he owned all of the property on the block except for the land that The Brewery sits on. ValPark, a stu-dent parking lot formerly located on the property, bares Valentine’s name.

All building on the site is con-tingent upon state zoning ap-proval.

Kerr Drug will have a flagship location on the site, according to Valentine and Mark Berger, for-mer Farm House owner.

“I have no hard feelings,” Berg-er said. “Val is a smart business-man, and he is doing the students a good service.”

Berger said he heard about the project when he first moved to Raleigh seven years ago. He also said the remaining buildings – Time Out, Katmandu, Pantana Bob’s, and the comic book store – should be demolished by Sep-tember.

With downtown revitalization focused more on the east end of campus and Raleigh as a whole, N.C. State alumnus and East Vil-lage Bar and Grill employee Wes Gibson said the project will bring business to the West end of Hills-borough Street. Gibson worked at Farm House for “four or five years.”

“It used to be a lot busier dow n here ,” Gibson sa id. “The project is a good thing as long as the lot doesn’t stay vacant.”

And it will not stay vacant for long. The proposed parking deck located near the back of the lot, which is planned to house 1,100 parking spaces, will begin con-struction soon, Valentine said. A capacity of over 1,00 spaces is more than what is required by building codes.

“We have been working week-days and weekends, too,” Val-entine said. “Parking has held Hillsborough Street back for more than 60 years.”

A proposed 82,000 square feet of space will occupy the area where Time Out, Katmandu and The Brew-ery reside at the corner of Hillsbor-ough Street and Friendly Drive. To-mYountz, an N.C. State architecture school graduate, designed the build-ing and a walkway that will connect the parking deck to the space.

The building is planned to house a healthcare facility for N.C. State students and faculty, as well as class-

rooms for students of Wake Tech and Phoenix Univer-sity.

“ W e h a v e thought this thing out entirely. It’s meant to last and be built upon for the next 100 years,” Valentine said.

Atop the f ive-story building will

be a restaurant similar to Top of the Hill, a Chapel Hill restaurant that sits three stories above Franklin Street. Valentine plans on letting students vote on what to name the Hillsborough Street restaurant.

“I got the idea [to build the five-story restaurant] while eating at the Capital City Club,” Valentine said. “Patrons will be able to see much of N.C. State’s campus and downtown from the vantage point. We want to

be the biggest and the best on Hillsborough Street.”

In cooperation with Charles Leffler, vice chancellor for fi-nance and business, Valentine said a road will be constructed that connects on-campus Yar-borough Drive to off-campus Friendly Drive. The road will give students and faculty direct access to the development.

“We had to pay for it, of course,” Valentine said. “Char-lie Leffler is a great public ser-

vant to the University.”Leff ler was contacted for

comment, but did not return phone calls because he was in a meeting.

The 225-unit apartment building will be named after Valentine’s father, and the de-velopment as a whole will be named Courtland after his grandson Court.

Valentine grew up on the third f loor of Fincastle – an apartment building a block away from his project. He worked on Hillsborough Street as a child on the land that he now owns.

Those commenting on Val-

entine have – without ex-ception – described him as a shrewd, but honest busi-nessman.

“He is not here to take ad-vantage of anyone,” Berger said. “He has always been upfront with me.”

According to Berger, Val-entine recently put 15 lots on the market in Virginia. Each lot is for sale at the price of $2 million apiece. He also said Valentine had to go through the federal government to acquire the lots since they were protect-ed wildlife habitats.

name is changing, “Cru” will represent the same organiza-tion with the same mission and vision.

“Our purpose to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to our campus, nation, and world has not changed,” Mehaffie said, “Our mission remains the same: radically transformed by Christ; impacting the campus; impacting the world.”

Mehaffie said his personal feelings on the changing of the name are difficult to process, but that he knows it is for the best.

“There’s a lot of history for me in the name, but I see the

need for change and I have em-braced the name change,” Me-haffie said. “It will take awhile to process, but I am excited about the future.”

Mehaffie does not expect the name change to upset or greatly impact Campus Crusade’s stu-dent participation at N.C. State.

“The core of who we are has not changed,” said Mehaffie. “I don’t think that it will matter to our students at N.C. State or will affect their involvement.”

In order to avoid confusion at N.C. State, Mehaffie said they will not make an immediate switch to the new name.

“At N.C. State, we will be called both Campus Crusade for Christ and Cru for a year so new students can find us,” Me-haffie said. “Then we will just be called Cru after this year.”

In addition to the new name, the organization has also in-troduced its new logo, which prominently displays a cross. The Campus Crusade Vice President for the U.S., Steve Sellers, said that the addition of the cross to the logo was nec-essary in the acceptance of the new name.

“Just as our new name, Cru, visually points to the cross, ev-erything we do as a ministry is intended to point others to the cross of Jesus Christ,” Sell-ers said.

Campus Crusade for Christ is a worldwide, interdenomi-national Christian evangelist and discipleship organiza-tion that was founded by Bill and Vonette Bright in 1951.

men learn differently.“This innovative approach

will focus on meeting each student’s individual needs,” Cherry said, “This will be such a wonderful opportunity for our students.”

Though some protested the change, there are others, such as Har-vey Schmitt, President and CEO of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, who feel it will be ben-eficial for the school and the city.

“Peace is an integral part of an increasingly dynamic Raleigh,” Schmitt said. “Our city welcomes Peace’s plans to grow. We look forward to the contributions of the young people whom Peace will add to this market.”

Hope Williams, president of

the North Carolina Indepen-dent Colleges and Universities, also considers this a positive step for Peace.

“Today, Peace College is continuing its 154-year tradi-tion of educational leadership in North Carolina,” Williams said, “These are challenging times for all of higher educa-tion, and Peace has once again chosen the path of moving forward to embrace the future with fresh ideas and new ways

to meet the needs of stu-dents.”

David Diaz, CEO of Downtown Raleigh Al-l iance - an independent contractor for the City of Raleigh, said that Peace’s pla ns were

exciting for the college and for downtown Raleigh.

“The changes the Trustees announced today not only strengthen Peace College and the educational opportunities it offers to all students,” Diaz said. “They also continue the

tradition of innovation in downtown Raleigh.”

Raleigh’s First Presbyte-rian Church founded Peace in 1857. William Peace, a Raleigh businessman and church elder, provided $10,000 and eight acres of land for the school.

According to their web-site, Peace originally offered an education for girls and women from kindergarten to college. It later became a two-year college offering associate’s degrees before becoming a four-year bac-calaureate college in the early 1990s.

his car out of the impound.“I guess it was an omen,” Tay-

lor said as he laughed.Although Taylor was trying

to make the best of what he said has been a “tough week,” he also said cheeks of patrons and staff alike have been wet. An outpour of emotion has accompanied the closure of what has for three decades been a mecca for all of those interested in music they could get nowhere else.

“You go on Facebook and Twitter, and people have said they met their husbands and wives here. There were a cou-ple of people on Facebook that said they met every friend they have here,” Taylor said. “It’s cool to know that this place has touched so many lives, but it’s tough to know that’s being taken away from us.”

All Brewery employees will soon be unemployed. Taylor said he does not know what he plans do next. He still owns the Brewery name, and therefore has the right to build another venue elsewhere under the

same title.“I love the Brewery. It’s hard

to imagine not [running the Brewery],” Taylor said.

Although the Brewery rou-tinely allows underage concert-goers to enter the bar, it has kept a watchful eye on those attempting to drink under the age of 21. Bouncers and bar-tenders – at least under Tay-lor’s watch – were instructed to quickly remove anyone who was suspected of drinking al-cohol before his time.

Taylor had a system of catch-ing those who drank illegally. He would sit in his office, and his staff would notify him if they suspected anyone taking drinks from those of-age. Once identified, his staff would sur-round the alleged law-breaker and wait for him to take a sip, at which point they would begin to ask questions.

“We never use force at the Brewery,” Taylor said. “We do, however, take the law very seri-ously.”

Employees and f r iends are planning to show up on Hillsborough Street at 6 a.m. Monday morning to watch the building be torn down.

The economy is truly a mess; with several economic indices ap-

proaching levels of those last seen in the 1930s. There are

several stim-uli, but there is one im-portant item that has been overlooked: student loan

debt is a tremendous economic burden to new graduates enter-ing the work force.

It is estimated that currently there is $900 billion tied up in student loans, and this amount is increasing at a rate of about $3,000 a second. This number is significantly higher than the amount of credit card debt in the United States.

Statistics f r o m t h e American Student As-sistance orga-nization show t hat a s of 2007 the av-erage student has $27,000 of debt for a 4-year de-gree. Those pursuing graduate work have an average of $47,000 of cumulative stu-dent loan debt. Those pursing professional terminal degrees such as the Pharm.D, M.D./D.O, J.D., or DVM have debt levels that can reach well over $100,000.

With the average cost of tu-ition up 900 percent from 1978 levels, it is no wonder that a new graduate can spend substantial amounts of their monthly in-come servicing their debt. This is particularly disturbing when the unemployment rate for new graduates aged less than 25 is 9.3 percent as of 2010. A full one-third of new graduates end up taking jobs that do not even require a college degree.

There are many reasons why we currently find ourselves in this predicament. Every year tuition rates go up at both pub-lic and private schools, whether or not the cost of living in-creases. Students work hard to obtain virtually worthless degrees in the fields of social sciences and the humanities versus obtaining an education in the technical fields. The high unemployment rate and eco-nomic downturn certainly has

not helped matters either.Student loan debt takes an

entirely different approach than credit card debt or mort-gage debt. Few things in life are as certain as death and taxes; however, paying student loan debt is as close as it gets. Bank-ruptcy law makes it nearly im-possible to discharge federal student loans.

While most people are un-aware of this, the Department of Education Office of Inspec-tor General has, for all practi-cal purposes, their own SWAT team. Law enforcement offi-cials knocked down the door of an innocent man looking for his wife who had defaulted on her student loan debt. Granted, these officials were local police

officers, but they were still serving a fed-eral warrant.

I n a d d i -tion to the tactics listed above, up to 15 percent of monthly in-come can be garnished to pay student loans. Fed-eral and state income tax

refunds can be claimed for re-payment. Professional licenses can be denied for default on loan payments.

Imagine the economic stimulus of having a portion, if not all, of student loan debt forgiven. Imagine for a minute what it would mean if millions of people had an extra $500 to $600 a month to go to discre-tionary spending. People could go forth and buy big ticket items such as new homes, new vehicles, or basically just about anything for that price.

With our current economic woes, full debt forgiveness is a long shot at best. That being said, even a partial forgiveness, say any amount over $30,000, would help tremendously with those currently trying to pay back their student loan debt.

The News and Observer describes the area of Hillsborough Street

on the Intersection of Hills-borough and Friendly Drive as the “rundown block.”

This strip, which houses Time Out, the Brewery, Pantana Bob’s and other shops, may be-come home to a new corporate development. These buildings currently stand in harsh con-trast with the newly developed stores and roads on the rest of Hillsborough Street.

Hillsborough Street has gone through a remarkable transfor-mation over the past few years. The city of Raleigh proceeded to redesign Hillsborough Street in 2002 and the street finally has a new face. The changes to the street are striking and have so far added positive features

to N.C. State. However, the city of Raleigh should take care to prevent commercialization of Hillsborough Street and main-tain its college feel.

N.C. State’s main surround-ing roads are Hillsborough Street and Western Boulevard. Western has its fair share of chain restaurants and conve-nience stores, but maintains some unique features. Hills-borough Street is the aesthetic, college street with the center of social life for State and Mer-edith College students.

The Hillsborough construc-tion project has resulted in brand new roads, sidewalks, roundabouts and new busi-

nesses like FreshBerry frozen yogurt and Hotbox pizza. So far, the changes to the Uni-versity’s street have brought it back to life. The changes have benefited University students, staff and Raleigh inhabitants.

The new Kerr Drug will un-doubtedly serve students well. There is a need for a regularly priced convenience store with-in walking distance for those without transportation.

However, with large corpo-rate complexes come competi-tion, and if Walgreens and CVS Pharmacies start to sprout up on Hillsborough Street as well, they will swallow the integrity of the street.

The changes to Hillsborough were needed and beneficial. Hillsborough is now a good recruiting tool for prospec-tive athletes, according to new Swimming and Diving coach Braden Holloway. It also at-tracts upcoming freshmen.

But if Hillsborough turns corporate the University will sit a campus within a capital-ist conglomerate. Change is always good, and Hillsborough is going in the right direction — we just don’t want to lose our identity.

Convenience should not take precedence over character. The city of Raleigh should al-ways consider the University before agreeing to new projects on Hillsborough.

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.

Hillsborough Street must keep its identityThe FacTs: Hillsborough Street has undergone many changes in the past few years. A new Kerr Drug is currently under construction on Hillsborough. This development will demolish businesses along that block.

Our OpiniOn:Hillsborough Street has gone through a huge transformation, and the construction has ultimately resulted in positive outcomes for the University. The new Kerr Drug will add to these positive changes; however, we hope that Hillsborough Street will not become too corporate and will maintain its college feel.

Pleasant demeanor brings pleasant results

Obstructions to happiness are an unfortunate

commonality shared by all of humanity. By mak-ing ourselves more readily

aware of this fact, it seems that em-pathy and under-

standing might prevail over the individualism of our present culture. Moreover, by recognizing the causes of our own fluctuations in temperament, gains in joy-ous equanimity seem to be a fantastic inevitability.

With each passing mo-ment, it seems that our demeanor is subject to change. Certainly for most of us there is a foundation to which our values and be-liefs tether our perspective. Nevertheless, for many of us, it seems that our mood remains malleable.

Most of us would love to be happy all the time, yet we frequently have diffi-culty overcoming a sense of inferiority, apathy or hostility. Potential irritants can range anywhere from a botched presentation to a failed test. Even the music that we choose can manipu-late our demeanor if we are not consciously on-guard against the corrupt content proliferated in modern pop-

culture.The multitude of variables

that cause fluctuation in our mood can be hard to identify, but we would be wise to give it our best effort. Self-awareness is the key to sustainable peace of mind, and with every mo-ment we spend considering the source of our pain we become more a n d m o r e likely to de-velop a stable and positive mentality.

There are reasons for our spells of depression, volatility, and notions of inferiority, but these rea-sons are sur-mountable.

T h e pr i -mary obstacle impeding our acquisition of sustained hap-piness is our innate inability to realize how good we have it. It seems that only in circum-stances where we are injured or ill can we truly fathom how good it was to be healthy.

Only through money becom-ing tight, can we appreciate the blessing of expendable income. Only in the tragic loss of a loved one can we remember the bless-ing of their companionship.

Consider this an invitation to give thanks for what you have,

because truth be told, it is a lot more than many can even hope to enjoy. In this moment, absorb the beauty of the day. Appreciate your health. Enjoy your friend-ships and let loved ones know you care. Be genuine and make an effort to show

kindness e ve n to people you don’t know.

Finally, i n t h e coming semester, capital-ize on the rare op-portunity that is a college education.

It’s im-portant to remem-

ber our blessings, and con-sciously appreciate all that we have been given.

FeaturesResearch on neutrinos brings grant to N.C. State and new clues on astrophysics.

Meagan WaldripCorrespondent

Jim Kneller of the physics department recently received a $750,000, five-year grant to fund his research into the shift-ing identities of neutrino par-ticles and how their origin in supernovae can not only shed light on their scientific sig-nificance, but also the nature of su-pernovae.

According to Knel ler, neutrinos are inert sub-atomic parti-cles that can travel closely to the speed of light.

“L i ke a n electron, they are a funda-mental particle,” Kneller said. “They don’t have an electric charge…[and] in fact, this makes them very hard to de-tect.”

Neutrinos are the result of nuclear reactions that take place during the explosion of a star, or supernova, and they have the capability of passing through extremely dense mat-ter unobstructed, Kneller said.

“There are [many] of them flying through you every sec-

ond, and none of them are in-teracting,” Kneller said.

Researchers and astrophysi-cists can use neutrinos as pointers in the right direction to locate supernovae. However, finding them is the difficult part, according to Kneller.

“Nevertheless, it is possible to detect them…A superno-vae will emit a huge number of neutrinos,” he said. “They f ly through space, reach us here on Earth and if you build a great, big detector…and fill it with water—for example and

surround the t a n k w i t h light-sensitive detectors—you will see that some of the neutrinos will interact in the water to become an electron or a positron.”

Kneller re-ceives data f rom t hese underground

detection devices in sites as distant as Japan, and he said he hopes this research will be useful not only in explaining the behavior of neutrinos, but the origin of supernovae them-selves.

“It would be great if we could peer inside one so that we could test our ideas of how the star explodes, but that’s not pos-sible by looking through a telescope,” Kneller said. “What we observe is the outside of the star, not the core region where

all the action is. But neutrinos f ly through even very dense matter unimpeded; if we ob-serve the neutrinos from the supernova we might be able to improve our understanding of how the star blew up.”

However, Kneller said in or-der to make any conclusions the first order of business is to

elicit meaning from the data he receives.

“What the detectors ob-serve will potentially tell us a lot about the neutrino and the supernova,” Kneller said. “The hard part will be to un-derstand the message. The information in the signal is, to some extent, scrambled. A

lot of my research is focused upon how that scrambling oc-curs and how it’s related to the missing information about the neutrino.”

Having done former post-doc work at N.C. State during his international academic career – receiving his under-graduate education from The

University of Manchester and a serving the post of ‘Chercheur’ at Le Institut de Physique Nu-cleaire Orsay – Kneller said he was pleased to be back at the University, continuing his re-search.

Some effects of merger become clearer as Duke Energy and Progress Energy shareholders meeting nears.

Young LeeCorrespondent

Duke Energy and Progress Energy announced on Janu-ary 10 their intention to merge into the nation’s biggest electric utility corporation. N.C. State currently gets a portion of its electricity from Progress Ener-gy and should experience some minor effects of this merger, at least on paper.

N.C. State Director of Facili-ties Jack Colby said given the information available at this time, there are not many tan-gible effects to be expected for N.C. State.

Unlike the University, Duke and Progress Energy, two of the area’s biggest em-ployers, will change quite a bit.

T h i s i s the second time in the past decade t hat D u ke Energ y has participated in a merger. I n 2 0 0 5 , D u k e E n -ergy merged w i t h C i n-ergy to create Duke Energy’s Midwest service sourced from both coal and gas.

Accord i ng to Michael Walden, agricultural and re-source economics professor, this merger allowed Duke En-ergy to grow into a bigger and more profitable company.

However, there are also con-cerns specific to public utility

mergers. According to Walden, the public utilities industry has become much more challeng-ing.

“Public utilities are under pressure from various sources,” Walden said.

According to Walden, these pressures are not simple, but there are three chief concerns.

“One [source of pressure is], the basic question of where they’re going to get their en-ergy; whether it’s going to be from coal, oil, nuclear or hydro,” Walden said. “There are various issues with all of those.”

The second of Walden’s out-lined issues deals with expan-sion—building new plants to meet a growing demand for energy.

“Those plants have to get ap-proval. Often residents don’t want these plants in their area,”

Walden said. The third

i s sue c on-c e r n s t h e environ-ment. Walden sa id publ ic uti lities are under pres-sure to use alternative f u e l s t h a t are cleaner, which is a challenge.

“Using traditional methods, their plants

are already geared up to use that,” Walden said. “Anything that’s an alternative would of-tentimes involve retrofitting existing plants or building new plants, and these methods may not be as cost effective.”

The merger seems like a re-sponse to at least two of these issues, according to Walden.

As Progress Energy media

contact Mike Hughes con-firmed, the real cost of provid-ing energy is growing. Duke and Progress Energy are plan-ning on building new plants as well as updating some existing plants.

These changes have great fixed costs and are clearly con-cerns for James Rogers, CEO of Duke Energy, and William Johnson, CEO of Progress En-ergy.

“Our industry is entering a building phase where we must invest in an array of new tech-nologies to reduce our environ-mental footprints and become more efficient,” Rogers said in a press release statement. “By merging our companies, we can do that more economical-ly for our customers, improve shareholder value and continue to grow.”

Rogers was unable to com-ment directly for this story.

background on the mergerDuke Energy and Progress Energy are both huge companies based in North Carolina. Duke Energy is a Fortune 500 electric company based in Charlotte with 18,600 employees servicing an area of about 50,000 square miles. Progress Energy is also a Fortune 500 electric company and is based in Raleigh with 11,000 employees servicing an area of about 54,000 square miles. On January 10, 2011, the two companies announced their intention to merge into the nation’s biggest electric utility corporation.

New class and workshop will teach students how to maintain and fix their bikes.

Selma AbdulhaiStaff Writer

The convenience of riding bikes to and from classes has proven to be a popular means of transportation for students. But bikes can break down, sometimes leaving students stranded.

Fortunately there is the N.C . St ate Crafts Center, an art school specializing in crafts lo-cated next to the Honors Vi l l age on the first floor of Thomp-son Hall. The Crafts Cen-ter worked w i t h Wol f Wheels, an on-campus bike rental facility, to create a bicycle repair facility.

To many, this may seem just the same as going to a bicycle store and having it repaired there, but according to the

Crafts Center Director George Thomas, the differences are much greater.

This new facility at the Crafts Center will offer equipment like bike stands, wheel truing stands and specialized hand tools, according to Thomas. This may seem standard except for the fact that instead of tech-nicians, the student themselves will be fixing their own bikes.

Thomas said the inspiration came from the students.

“One day, a student asked me whether we had equipment to

fix his bike, and then he told me that we needed a place for students to work on their bikes. That’s what this is,” Thomas said. “I spoke with David Crye, the coordi-nator of Cam-pus Recre-ation, and by working with Wolf Wheels,

we created a one-session class for students to learn how to use the equipment we have provid-ed for them.”

Thomas said after taking this class, students will have access

to the tools for the rest of their stay at N.C. State free of charge.

“This class and facility is a resource for the students and driven by the students, so we felt no need for them to be continually charged,” Thomas said.

The three-hour, $10 class is a basic tutorial on how to use the equipment, and mechan-ics Shawn Fisher and William Barnes will instruct the course.

The class covers topics rang-ing from repairing brakes to truing tires. According to Thomas, it is a way to empower students to do the work them-selves.

Albaraa Sarsour, junior in poultry science, said she also thinks the facility has poten-tial, especially given the finan-cial advantage.

“I honestly think the [Bike Repair Facility] has a lot of potential,” Sarsour said. “It is so much cheaper than getting it fixed at a bike shop. Plus, it is free to use the equipment for years to come.”

Classes start on Monday, September 12, and, as of now, continue until November. However, fall registration for the Crafts Center starts July 25, and this is required for students interested in the bicycle repair facility.

Roger Barker, a professor in the College of Textiles, leads the team at the Textile Pro-tection and Comfort Cen-ter, or T-PACC. According to Barker, improving the design and engineering of the materi-als that go into fire-protection suits often results in overlook-ing comfort and the ability to move unrestricted.

“It’s important that you be able to do what you need to do…at a high level of comfort,” Barker said.

According to Barker, the fire-fighters not only need protec-tion from the heat, but also suf-ficient comfort to adequately perform their jobs.

Ed Crowell, Assistant Fire Chief at Hemby Bridge Fire Department, located near Charlotte, has firsthand expe-rience with this sort of protec-tion gear and said he agrees with Barker’s concerns.

“The com-fort of the turnout gear is very im-portant. The gear has to be loose, be-c au s e you have to be able to move a rou nd a s much as pos-sible,” Crow-ell said.

The research at T-PACC takes a variety of forms, including testing of the PyroMan manne-quin, which is used to measure clothing’s resistance to direct flame contact.

The researchers use a variety of mannequins for different en-vironments, and a completely new model is in the works to better address the needs of “wildland” firefighters, ac-

cording to Barker. “We’re going to develop new

test methods to look into these performance requirements,” Barker said.

The result will be a dummy nicknamed “RadMan,” and it will be made to measure radi-ant heat, a major concern for service men and women fight-ing wildfires.

“There are different techni-cal requirements,” Barker said. “[With RadMan] we want to focus on radiant heat expo-sure”.

According to Crowell, fires in natural settings differ drasti-cally from urban fires, and each requires specific techniques and gear.

“The personal protective gear for wildland firefighting is very different from structural fire-fighting gear,” Crowell said.

Structural firefighting equipment is the famil-i a r e qu ip -ment u sed by firefight-ers in cities and towns to fight building f ires. Wild-land gear is much lighter, offering less resistance to direct f lame contact than the more tra-

ditional structural clothing, but it allows for greater free-dom of movement required in fighting wildfires.

Crowell said heat retention acts as a major concern for firefighters in the field.

“The quicker we can shed heat after coming out of a hot environment, the better off we are,” he said.

Considering the thickness

and weight of the gear involved in fire protection, firefighters’ bodies overheating can become a problem. Another one of T-PACC’s research manne-quins, aptly named “Sweaty-Man,” measures the ability to lose heat and evaporate sweat through clothing, much like a human body.

“We can see the impact of that garment in terms of heat loss,” Barker said.

Barker said he makes sure to keep firefighters like Ed Crow-ell involved with the develop-ment process, ensuring that those using the equipment have a voice in the development process.

“We keep up with what [fire-fighters’] needs are…they’re part of our communication circle,” Barker said.

Baker said he often includes members of the Raleigh Fire Department in consulting.

“Firefighters in Raleigh have been involved in various proj-ects,” Barker said. “But this is a national outreach.”

The T-PACC team works lo-cally, but with a goal of world-wide protection, it reaches out across the nation, and even the world, according to Barker.

“[The T-PACC] laboratory is the most advanced in the U.S., and probably the world, for doing advanced research in the field,” Barker said.

In addition to the research on firefighting gear, the Col-lege of Textiles laboratory also works on sports equipment and uniforms, as well as common clothing one could find in retail stores.

“Companies like Nike or Under Armour come to us…to see how certain garments perform,” Barker said. For these types of clothes, Barker emphasized the importance of the clothing texture over time,

or “the sense of touch”, which he said applies to firefighting gear, too.

“The science of comfort…is very much a science,” Baker

said.Whether it’s wildfire gear,

athletic uniforms or retail clothing, Barker and the T-PACC team’s work brings com-

fort and protection to everyday life.

Bringing comfort and safety to firefighters

ergy have accomplished several steps on the way to completing the merger. As detailed on their website, these include the comple-tion of their merger forms, called the S-4, for the Secu-rities and Exchange Com-mission.

The next step for the two companies is a shareholders meeting scheduled for Au-gust 23 in which sharehold-ers will vote to give their approval for the merger. In this meeting, shareholders will evaluate their expected

profit should the merger occur. If everything goes according

to schedule, the two companies hope to complete the merger by the end of this year.

The details of what will hap-pen to the companies are still ambiguous, since it is difficult to assess the challenges that the companies may face in the fu-ture, according to Rogers.

If the shareholders do not approve of the merger, it may not happen at all.

However, Walden said com-mon challenges include the combining of two different business cultures, the com-bining of two different markets and reductions in personnel. These are challenges for many Duke Energy and Progress En-

ergy employees, as a voluntary severance plan has already been announced, although no details have been offered.

One additional challenge specific in this merger is the fact that there are no plans to reduce the power bills of customers despite savings due to greater efficiency after the merger, according to Hughes. However, this is also in con-sideration of the expected costs of building new power plants and retrofitting older plants to make them more efficient.

According to Walden, more information regarding the ef-fects of the merger is sure to become apparent in the up-coming months.

form.”Sweezy said the new jer-

seys are perfect for his posi-tion as well.

“As a defensive lineman, I’m moving all the time and need something that’s lightweight and has f lex-ible material,” Sweezy said. “These are definitely the best jerseys we’ve had so far since I’ve been here.”

The jerseys have been hyped up for the last week with snippets of the State lettering and block s em-blem being released on

Twitter by N.C. State Athletics.While the two players inter-

viewed seemed to enjoy the jer-seys, Sweezy said they had no input on what would appear on the jerseys.

“We didn’t really have a choice when it came to the jerseys,” Sweezy said. “But I really like the way the f inished product now that I’m able to wear it. It’s almost like an Under Armour type feel to it.”

Sweezy said that putting on the jersey means a lot more than just wearing a new jersey,

it means that football sea-son is coming up soon.

“W hen I put this jer-se y on to take pictures I got goose-bumps,” Sweezy said. “It’s not just a jersey, it means that footba l l i s starting back

up. It’s football man, I just re-ally miss it.”

ress mostly involves finish-ing the seating and visiting team amenity structures, such as the locker rooms and restrooms, before the final touches are placed on the actual playing surface.

“They are just about ready to lay down the stone and put the asphalt down,” Choboy said. “The stadium itself is pretty much done. The light posts are up already. They have some things to do under the stadium, some painting, finishing up some fixtures, and drywall.

Choboy said the biggest task left to do is laying down the courts, which should

happen in the next week or so.However, the court-laying

process is sensitive to weather conditions. In ideal circum-stances, the c ou r t w i l l take about 30 days to cure and 10 more for the color coat i ng to apply.

No m a t-ter when the cou r t s a re f ina l ly f in-i s he d , t he men’s ten-nis team will a l ready be training for their spring season.

“They’ll start individual workouts the first week they’re back to school,” Choboy said.

“At the beginning of Septem-ber we’ll actually start official team practice. We’ll be able to practice on the courts in the

fall so it just depends on when t he y give it back to us.”

Choboy also said it won’t be until around Octo-ber 5 before everything is completed, but the courts will probably be playable a couple weeks before prior

to that date. As a backup plan, Choboy has the courts at Pul-len Park reserved for the month of September.

“We’re looking for new rev-enue sources,” Yow said. “Isn’t everyone? Multimedia is on the list. So [are] apparel deals. When people step up and say that we’ll pay you this amount, you have to look at the amount and say ‘why don’t we hold and not make any deal and wait.’

“We know we’re going to be successful later and then we can get more money, but we have to ask ourselves if we want to plunge into a five or ten year deal with anyone. We’re just weighing all of that right now. “

A l l t h i n g s c o n s i d -ered, Yow and her staff are definitely taking the concerns of all parties involved into con-sideration before making any major decisions.

Botched timing for UNC

in the NFL rather than dealing with these issues as students.

Whether Davis knew about what was going on with his team is another story entirely, but the timing has to hurt both the coach and fans of the pro-gram.

To sum it all up, while I still have a deep-rooted hatred for anything in baby blue, I do not feel this is the time to gloat in the faces of sorrowful UNC fans. After all, Dick Baddour and Chancellor Holden Thorp might have just made the big-gest mistake in its long athletic history and we should have plenty of time to rub it in their faces on Nov. 6.

Commentary

As is often the case in life, fatal endings always seem to come from those who

refuse to take their medicine. For UNC Athletics Director

Dick Baddour, the thought of actually firing Butch Da-vis must have tasted horri-bly bitter.

Even with the headline news being handed down that Davis would not be retained by Carolina for the upcoming season, the sporting world seemed to glance and shrug at the situ-ation. As early as 13 months ago, many had assumed that Davis couldn’t possibly keep his job amidst a very pub-lic and well-documented scandal.

Once John Bunting toiled for six years compiling a 27-45 record, Baddour axed him right during the middle of the 2006 season. The blueprint was for UNC football to find someone very unlike Bunting. Some-one who had garnered ac-colades for steering a suc-cessful collegiate program in the past. Someone who could recruit elite talent to a basketball school.

Butch Davis had turned around a wayward Miami Hurricane program back in the mid-90’s. In six seasons, Davis led the ‘Canes to four bowl victories along with a 2000 Big East conference championship. An NFL stint with the Cleveland Browns ended poorly for

Davis, but Baddour knew that the man could coach on Sat-urdays.

The impact on the football program, both negative and positive, over the next four years would not soon be for-gotten. Despite only four wins in 2007, average attendance at Keenan stadium shot up to 57,000 fans. In 2008 and 2009, UNC notched eight wins and received back-to-back bowl game invitations for the first time since the Mack Brown era. Expectations were growing and high end talent was beginning to arrive in Chapel Hill.

Following an inappropriate academic assistance investiga-tion, it was later discovered that players during Davis’s tenure had accumulated over $13,000 in parking violations. With the embarrassment came a loss of integrity in the eyes of onlook-ers and media alike. The puzzle was getting knocked off of the table.

And here we stand nine days before the start of camp for the 2011 college football season. As soon as the chaotic Music City Bowl ended in the dying days of 2010, Davis was forced to essen-tially hide from the media un-til the conference converged in Pinehurst this past week. How different life would be if Bad-dour pulled the trigger back in January.

Davis’ f iring is deserved considering how he did in fact make some crucial mistakes.

In the end, Baddour and UNC have to be asking them-selves the biggest question of all: Can we keep our integrity and raise our football program to elite status at the same time?

N.C. State Athletics reveals new football jerseys for the fall.

R. Cory SmithSports Editor

Fans inside of the state of North Carolina know when fans refer to “State” they are of course referring to N.C. State University.

Now the football jerseys refer to the Wolfpack as State, as well.

On Tuesday afternoon, N.C. State athletics revealed the new football jersey that will be worn in the fall. While the colors have remained the same, several new ad-ditions set this year’s model apart from the jerseys worn from 2008 to 2010.

One of the most distinct changes is the word State written in bold-face across the top just above the numbers. Athletics Director Deborah Yow said this is just the first step towards the athletics pro-grams being identified as State on all uniforms.

“It’s a basic, bold statement: State. That’s who we are,” Yow said.

Redshirt senior defensive tackle J.R. Sweezy said the new lettering across the front gives the jersey a different feel that he enjoys.

“I really like that it says ‘State’ across the front,” Sweezy said. “It gives it a much more clean look. The jerseys also seem much bright-er than last years. I just really like the look of it.”

Senior wide receiver T.J. Graham said that the State lettering meant that he would be able to set this year apart from any other when he looks back on his days with the Pack.

“I take a lot of pride in the State things,” Graham said. “It’s what we wear. After the game you look at pictures people have taken of you and you appreciate it. One day we’ll look back and [the uniform] will be your memory.

“Most games I don’t even re-member half of it. I go back and

look at the pictures and that refreshes my memory.”

The jersey, produced by Adidas, fea-tures the new TechFit style. The Tech-Fit jerseys are 30 percent lighter and have ventilation areas which means players will have increased mobility and speed inside of the jerseys.

Graham said he noticed a clear dif-ference when he put the jersey and pads on when he tried to reach over top of his head.

“In the old uniform, you couldn’t stick your hands above your head, this one right here, you can move anyway you want to,” Graham said as he stretched out in a receiving stance with his hands over his head. “This is nice. I like this. I enjoy this. I’m going to have a lot of fun this year wearing this uni-

Wolfpack sports forced to look elsewhere for revenue

Jeniece JamisonSenior Staff Writer

In the aftermath of considerable budget cuts coming from North Carolina lawmakers, resulting in N.C. State cutting about 15 percent of its budget, the athletics will have some hard decisions to make in the future.

Students are already aware of how the cuts affect their wallets due to the increases in tuition and fees, which in part have funded the recent renovations through-out campus.

Aside from those visible costs that push the price of a four-year education, the athletics program has a lso con-tributed to the financial punch, with a projected operation bud-get of roughly $55 million for the upcoming academic year.

This has been increasing since the days of the Lee Fowler era where N.C. State athletics oper-ated at around $40 million – sec-ond to last in the ACC. The Wolf-pack Club is also a major contribu-tor to State athletics, with dona-tions totaling around $27 million in 2009.

Even though this was great when looked at from the perspective of how many thousands of dollars students and parents have to dis-pense, State fans were definitely not pleased with the mediocre per-formance of the athletics program as a whole.

Athlet ics Director Debbie Yow said she believes it takes mon-ey to build a winning program in collegiate athletics, which was the practice she put in placed during

her tenure at the University of Maryland at College Par. Under her leadership, the athletics program won 20 total national champion-ships. In 2009, UM operated on an estimated budget of $61 million, which was the highest in the ACC.

With these proposed increases in the athletics budget, the money does have to come from some-where. Last year, Yow proposed an increase in student fees for athletic costs, and it is more than likely that this will happen again.

“We’re probably going to ask for a student [fees] increase, but we don’t know how much,” Yow said. “It’s an interesting dynamic. When the campus raises tuition that’s an expense for two groups, it’s revenue for everyone else. It’s an expense for students and for athletics be-

cause we pay our scholarships for our student ath-letes. So we’re getting hit. Every time the tuition goes up we’re getting a new and larger bill.”

The bulk of this ‘larger bill’ comes from costs that are handed down from the state, which all athlet-

ics programs in the state system have to compensate for.

“We don’t receive any state fund-ing at all,” Associate Athletic Di-rector for Business and Finance Diane Moose said.

“We used to get it,” Yow said. “It was an out-of-state tuition wavier for scholarships that would’ve saved us $2 million this year, but last July the state took that away.”

This time around, according to Yow, the program is actively seeking other sources of revenue to prevent a significant increase in student fees.

Stadium renovated during the offseason will have new features for fans and players

Josh HyattStaff Writer

As the second summer session winds down, so too does the con-structive refurbishment of the Wolf-pack’s outdoor tennis facilities. The Curtis & Jacqueline Dail Outdoor Tennis Stadium has undergone a se-ries of renovations made with tennis fans in mind, and should be ready for use this fall.

The restructured design joins other State facilities named after the Dails and features a unique entrance plaza, six side-by-side courts, seating for over 1000 spectators, updated light-ing fixtures, and a new scoreboard.

Head Men’s Ten n i s C oach Jon Choboy, who took part in design-ing the stadium years ago with former player and design major David Rozek, said he is very excited to put the new courts to use.

“It’s going to be great,” Choboy said. “There are some unique things our stadium will have that other stadi-ums do not, like an elevated entrance walkway, which is about 10 feet off the

ground, across the street from the baseball field.”

Choboy said visitors will enter the stadium from the top in the park-ing lot and will walk along the outer edge of the stadium along the elevated walkway.

The entrance will also include a lift elevator for handicap accessibility into the stadium.

Once inside, returning fans will im-mediately notice a much more enjoy-able seating arrangement. Previously, the seating had been in the form of bleachers atop the hill next to the tennis courts. The redesign features grandstand seating directly next to each of the six courts with a conve-nient way of moving from court to court without disturbing other spec-tators.

Choboy shed some light on the de-sign around the fan seating.

“Its seating is unique,” Choboy said. “There’s a very large mezzanine that goes behind [the stands] so you can quickly go around to another court and sit down in the bench-backed seating. It will give different people a way to move around a bit. It’s really cool how it’s set up.”

Keep it down, Wolfpack

By this point, we all know that Butch Davis, the head coach of the UNC-Chapel Hill football program, was

fired late Wednesday afternoon.

But what I’m really fired up about was the flood of boastful messages that came out on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook from Wolf-pack fans.

While I will not say that I have been the most kind-hearted fan over the past few years to UNC fans when they walk through Carter-Finley Stadium or the RBC Center - I have in fact booed them on several occasions - I feel Pack fans have not taken a step back to look at the situation.

Tar Heel fans have just endured a years worth of hearing State fans taunt them about the investigation that they had to experience and calling them names - most famously “UN-Cheat.” The last thing we need to do is look classless and rub this in their face even more.

Now I’m guessing you might want to know why I’ve said all of the previous comments and that is easy to explain - the timing.

It is one week before practices be-gin and one month before the season kicks off. To say that the announce-ment was shocking a few months ago would have been a bit obvious. But at this point, it appears that the UNC football program is simply shooting itself in the foot.

The situation also hurts the prog-ress that the players in the program have made to this point. Many of the players currently on the team had no involvement in the investigations that have occurred and have been forced to answer questions for former players such as Marvin Austin and Greg Lit-tle, who are entering training camps

Davis out at UNCTwitter began blowing up around 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday night about the firing of UNC-Chapel Hill football coach Butch Davis. Thirty minutes later, the rumors were confirmed. Chancellor Holden Thorp announced that the coach was fired from the program nearly one year after the first rumblings that the program would be investigated by the NCAA. “To restore confidence in the University of North Carolina and our football program, it’s time to make a change,” said Thorp in a statement released by the school.

Bryan earns All-ACC Preseason honorsRedshirt senior tight end George Bryan made the decision following the 2010 season that he would return to the Wolfpack for one more season. On Wednesday afternoon, the ACC made the decision that Bryan was the top tight end in the conference. The Castle Hayne, N.C., native was named to the All-ACC first team last year after catching 35 passes for 369 yards and three touchdowns. Bryan was also named to the first team back in 2009 and has already been named to the Mackey Watch List for 2011.

Spencer picked up by TitansFormer wide receiver Owen Spencer was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League on Tuesday. The leading receiver for the Pack had to wait until the conclusion of the NFL lockout before finding out his future in football. The depth at wide receiver position for the Titans is not one of the team’s strong points. Therefore, Spencer has a fairly good chance of earning a roster spot with the team in the coming months.

The former mainstay on the line for the Pack will now try to make a roster that will be defending a starting quarterback yet to be named. Vermiglio could be guarding for one of four quarterbacks on the roster or a quarterback yet to be named, such as Kevin Kolb from the Philadelphia Eagles.
