UNC leaders mull tuition hikes In-state students may face $300 more in tuition in 2011-2012 if BOG approves. Chelsey Francis News Editor

Chief Tom Younce has been with Campus Police since October 2000 and will be retiring effective July 1. Younce said he will miss campus life.

Campus police chief retires

After 11 years with campus police, Chief Younce is retiring IN July Story By elise heglar | photo By Alex nitt “I’ve been in law enforcement for about 43 years now. My wife recently retired, so we decided to move to another page in our lives,” Younce said. Younce came to the University in October of 2000. He took over as chief of the campus police department when he came to the University. His retirement is effective on July 1 of this year. “I have always and will always love N.C. State. This was a really difficult decision to make, but it’s time for me to move on,” Younce said. Younce said that he has plans to work and travel once he retires. “Usually when people retire, traveling is kind of the go-to thing. I’ll be doing some of that, as well as some consulting work,” Younce said. Younce worked closely with Student Government on many issues and has been very involved in University athletics, especially the gymnastics team. He said that he has enjoyed traveling and watching the team grow. “I will miss all of the students that I have had the chance to work with. I am a po-

lice officer first, and sometimes that means making arrests, but I have had the chance to work with the students a lot. This is an excellent campus and all of the students I’ve encountered have been great to work with,” Younce said. There is currently not a replacement for the chief position, according to Jon Barnwell, patrol division commander for campus police. “Chief Younce has taken us to a flagship department that is recognized all over the country as a place where things get done. I hope that in his absence, we take his vision and stay progressive as we move on as a department,” Barnwell said. Barnwell said that Younce made a great impact on his own career. The two have worked together since Younce came to the University in 2000. “He has been the greatest boss that I’ve ever had. The impression he has made on my professional career cannot be measured. We’re all going to miss him and we wish him well,” Barnwell said. Since Younce became chief, there have

been a lot of good changes in the campus police department, according to Barnwell. Many people in the department recognize Younce as a mentor. “The thing I’ll miss the most is his willingness to listen to the thoughts and ideas of everyone. He valued everyone’s input when making decisions, and that is a rare thing,” Barnwell said. Younce said that he would miss the campus environment after he retires. “This is a really unique environment, especially for law enforcement. I have worked with a top quality department here,” Younce said. Younce said, among other things, he will definitely miss the football stadium. “Yesterday, I went by the football stadium. Standing there and looking at that field, I realized I am really going to miss it,” Younce said. “I don’t know what it is about that football field, but I just love the feeling I get standing right there. That’s something I will miss.”

The UNC Board of Governors will decide Friday whether in-state students will pay an additional $300 in tuition to attend N.C. State next year. The BOG’s budget and finance committee approved the 6.2 percent hike for undergraduate residents Thursday, according to committee member and Association of Student Governments President Atul Bhula. The full board will consider NCSU’s proposed hike, along with the proposals from the other UNC System campuses, at its meeting Friday morning. According to NCSU Provost Warwick Arden, the committee approved the tuition hike as suggested by the Board of Trustees, the University’s governing body. “Everything was approved as we had submitted it,” Arden, who did not attend the committee meeting Thursday, said. “If you go back to the memo the chancellor sent the Board of Trustees last November, it goes through the recommendations that were approved through our Board of Trustees.” The Board of Trustees proposal was divided into two categories, according to Arden. “We have a regular campus-initiated increase, which will increase the base tuition,” Arden said. “It’ll be $300 more for undergraduate residents and $600 more for others. That’s where the 6.2 percent comes from.” The other category, according to Arden, is premium tuition. “We have a number of premium tuitions, which are only for professional degree programs, which were approved as submitted,” Arden said. According to Arden, the campusinitiated tuition increase will affect more students than the premium increase. If the UNC Board of Governors approves the hike, it will move on to the General Assembly. “Our tuition increases are bottled with everyone else in the UNC System,” Arden said. “The legislature has the authority to approve this and add other increases as well.”

Using UnityID@ncsu. Draft plan premiere pushback possible edu past graduation Office of Information Technology announces update on using Google Apps accounts postgraduation. Alanna Howard Deputy News Editor

Beginning with the spring 2010 class any senior has the ability to use their unityid@ncsu.edu email address for as long as they’d like. Included with this access is docs, calendars and other Google App services. Having a professional email account is considered a must-have for any job search. The account associated with unityid@ncsu.edu includes features that allow students to share calendars, documents and other services with anyone on the gmail service. With the recent student email move from Unity/Wolfware to Google, that technology will follow you after graduation, a service many seniors are not aware of. According to Stan Martin, director of outreach, communications & consulting for the Office of Information Technology, allowing the alumni

to keep their email addresses was always considered a good idea, but not possible until the switch to Google. “As of the spring 2010 graduating class, we have kept the access to features such as email, documents and calendars on for them when they leave because when we were debating options for a new email host, that was one of the reasons we contracted with Google. It allows us to give them that service without costing anything extra for alumni,” Martin said. Morgan Hightshoe, a senior in zoology, said he was not aware he could keep his email after graduation. “This is great! I love Gmail, it’s so easy to use with a variety of applications that anyone can find useful. Gmail is extremely user friendly and works well. It’s a great advantage for students to be able to keep it. Also, people look more credible when they are emailing from university labels ‘.edu’,” Hightshoe said. Although email is a life-time ac-

A state filled with diverse economic and educational needs, a student body of more than 30,000, and thousands of faculty and staff members. Chris Boucher Deputy News Editor

Balancing the concerns of all these groups - and boiling it down into one digestible document - is the goal of the University’s Strategic Planning Committee, which is scheduled to release the initial draft of the document on Feb. 18. A state filled with diverse economic and educational needs, a student body of more than 30,000, and thousands of faculty and staff members. Balancing the concerns of all these groups - and boiling it down into one digestible document - is the goal of the University’s Strategic Planning Committee, which is scheduled to release the initial draft of the document on Feb. 18. “This is not going to be a 100-page document. It’ll be 10 to 20 pages,” Strategic Planning Committee cochair and Academic Provost Warwick Arden said of the draft plan. “It’ll be a general document that provides an aspirational statement about where

we’re going as a University, and what our goals are going to be for the next five to eight years.” The weight of the task might slow down production of the first draft, Arden said. If that happens, the draft might not be posted on the Planning Committee’s website by Feb. 18. “We’re shooting for that [deadline]. It’s a tight timeline, and we might not be right on the money,” Arden said. “But certainly it’ll be posted by the end of February.” Once the plan is posted, it will be available for public comment until March 4. The Planning Committee hopes the brevity of the draft plan encourages comment from all University stakeholders, Arden said. “It will be something that you can easily read in an hour or two. And it’s something we want campus input on. We will take that input very seriously,” Arden said. The draft plan will touch on nine key issues identified by the Strategic Planning Committee, which assigned each of these nine “issues” a separate task force. Each task force has already reported its initial findings to the Strategic Planning Committee in the form of “white papers” that are already up on the Planning Committee’s website. The draft plan will be based on the

white papers of all nine task forces, Arden said. One task force member said that there was harmony, yet little hegemony, in his group. “Our task force had faculty, staff and administration folks as well. The makeup really cut across the University,” Roby Sawyers, Resource Strategies Task Force co-chair, said. “We certainly had people with different perspectives, different views of the world and differing visions for the University.” Despite its eclectic makeup, the Resource Strategies Task Force was committed to looking for solutions that were in the best interests of the entire University, said Sawyers, who is also a professor of accounting. “Our task force had a remarkable consensus as to what N.C. State should do moving forward,” Sawyers said. While he was pleased with the diversity of the task forces, Sawyers said some more student involvement might have made things even better. “On the task forces, there weren’t as many students; ours didn’t have any students, for example,” Sawyers said. “However, the [Undergraduate] Student Success group is having the forums to try to increase student participa-

tion.” On Feb. 16 in the Talley Student Center Ballroom, Chancellor Randy Woodson and Student Body President Kelly Hook will host a strategic planning student forum. During the forum, students will be encouraged to comment on the recommendations of the Strategic Plan, particularly those tied to student success. Those interested in attending are encouraged to review the task force white papers on the N.C. State Strategic Planning Committee website. Increased student participation in the planning process is something Arden is counting on, as he lists “student success” as the top priority for the Strategic Plan. “There are multiple visions for this plan, but the one that has been at the forefront all the time is student success. It’s the overarching theme,” Arden said. According to Arden, the Task Force isn’t just looking at GPAs when defining student success. “It means retention, graduation, academic student success of course,” Arden said of the Strategic Plan’s top goal. “But also, the overall quality of education, and also the inspirational elements of a student’s experience at N.C. State University.” And while there might not be students on each of the nine task forces, there is one task force dedicated entirely to students. The goal of the Undergraduate Student Success task force “was to propose three to five recommendations that would enhance the student experience for the future of N.C. State undergraduate students,” Marycobb Randall, Task Force co-chair and senior in business administration,said. “Our recommendat ions focused on ideas that might increase retention rates, improve student satisfaction and increase the quality of education and preparedness for the workforce or graduate school,” Randall said.

cess, other features available to enrolled students will be removed after graduation. “One thing we’re working through is the process of limiting access, so you have access to Google Apps, but then wouldn’t be able to lab computers,” he said. Server space is another feature not continuous, Martin said. “Server space will also be disabled after the time allowed.” The main reason for the cutoff of server space and unity log-ins is the way people change roles after graduation. According to Martin, since most students graduate and leave the University altogether, they can get space elsewhere. Other students may become staff, who sometimes leave the University through other ways than retirement, and these constantly changing roles mean a lot of catch-up for OIT staff. “We haven’t announced this kind of information before and you won’t be able to find details about who can and can’t keep their accounts after they leave

Task forces:

The Strategic Planning Committee is broken down into nine separate task forces, dedicated to addressing “nine key issues that will affect the University in the next five to eight years: • Undergraduate Student Success • Graduate and Postdoctoral Program Development • Faculty Excellence • Research and Scholarship • Comprehensiveness and Interdisciplinary • Global Engagement and Competitiveness • Partnerships, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship • Campus Culture and Community • Resource Strategies Source: N.C.

USS has the heaviest student f lavor. In addition to Randall, Tyrik Hicks, a senior in chemical engineering; William Lamb, a senior in communications and Kris Gower, a junior in international studies, represent the student body on the USS task force. This is obviously a huge investment of time and brain power for the University- and at a time when resources must be optimized to deal with the coming budget cuts. But Arden said that the plan should not be viewed as a patchwork to get through the current economic crisis. “This strategic planning began last summer, and is a plan for the next five to eight years. It is not a short-term budget plan [and] it’s not a plan to get from this budget year to next budget year,” Arden said. Further, the current economic climate actually makes this the right time for a strategic plan. “People might say, ‘Why would you spend time on a strategic plan you might not have money to implement’?, but that is precisely the reason we need a plan moving forward. This is exactly the time to have a plan, to think more critically about how we can work more efficiently and effectively as a university,” Arden said. Student leaders associated with the Strategic Plan agreed that the timing was right for a comprehensive plan that the

because this process isn’t finalized. We’re still looking at the changing of roles, and access you have based on that role, as we evaluate services for those that have moved on. These changes are part of the challenge, identity as individual and the roles associated with that identity is something we have to think about,” Martin said. In early 2009, OIT evaluated whether it would be possible to move student email from Unity/Wolfware mail to an external provider. One of the aspects of that evaluation included providing access to alumni to keep their Unityid address. Col laborating w it h t he Alumni Association was part of the process, according to Martin. “We talked with the Alumni Association, and they thought it would be a good idea to use Google so those services could continue. They still forward email through their alumni@ ncsu.edu service,” he said. Another role being evaluated is what classification of student should be allowed to keep their account. Martin said these decisions depend on the type of enroll-

whole University can get behind. “The planning process is certainly costing some time for those heavily involved in the committees and task forces,” said Hook, who is on the Strategic Planning Steering Committee. “The planning process was actually a stroke of luck for our University during this budget situation. Financial resources aren’t used on the process itself, but the process will determine the best way to use financial resources.” Randall agreed that having a strategic plan in place can only help N.C. State navigate the expected dire financial straits. “At times when budget constraints are most pressing, it is important for the University to take into account how it will most effectively and efficiently maintain its core competencies into the future,” Randall said. “Time and resources spent toward this effort today will have amplified positive effects for years to come.”

ment of a student. “If you’ve graduated you’re going to be able to keep your account, if you’re just a non-degree seeking student, and only took one class, we are looking at determining what the minimum number of courses should be to keep access,” he said. A group entitled “Identity and Access Management” is in charge of these decisions. The registrar, human resources for staff access, and an Alumni Association representative are some of the members of a cross section who would be helping provide advice on kinds of access. Megan Forman, a senior in communication media, said she recently learned of the availability of her email after May and likes the idea because it makes students look official in the job market. “I think it’s good because it looks official and credible. I’m doing a lot of job applications this semester and who knows where I’m going to be in a year, so it’s nice I will have an email that will look good anywhere. It just makes sense.”

{Our view}

We demand fresh food The Facts:

Kathleen Merrigan, the USDA deputy secretary, spoke at the University about her initiative “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food” and congratulated the Center for Environmental Farming Systems for their 10% campaign. The University has agreed to devote 10 percent of its food budget to buying local food.

Our Opinion:

Students should demand that University Dining and U.S. Food Service provides local food in the dining halls. Although the increased price for a meal plan is not desirable, the trade offs would be providing more support for the state’s agriculture industry and improve the healthiness of food on campus.

eeding food is one thing every human being has in common. We must all eat in some way to survive. To be healthy, we cannot eat just anything, but we must select foods that provide the right balance of nutrients. Many students rely on meal plans, provided by University Dining for their food needs. U.S. Food Service purveys goods to University Dining, meaning ingredients for our food actually comes from a national distributor, unless otherwise noted. Students should demand, however, that the U.S. Food Service fill N.C. State’s orders with almost exclusively with North Carolina products. Food has to travel between 1,500 and 2,500 miles to get to our dining hall, but it doesn’t

have to. U.S. Food Service is there to help University Dining find what it needs from across the state. At certain points during the year, there is a possibility to pool produce from across N.C. to provide fresh, in-state produce. Traveling 300 miles is certainly better than 2,500. As a land grant university, it is our mission to serve the state of North Carolina. Food purchasing, while not visible to most students, is a major factor in our state’s economy and the livelihood of our in-state farmers, many of which came to study here and now have their children studying here. Total cash receipts for farms in N.C. in 2010 was $9.7 billion

and North Carolinians sped $35 billion on food. By buying from farmers around the state, U.S. Food Service’s, and in essence our, dollar goes back to our local economy. This can help our state’s budget, which will in turn help the University’s budget. There is one problem with using more local, fresh foods: the price of a meal plan will increase. However, UNC-Chapel Hill’s residential 8-meal week plan costs $1,050 a semester. The cheapest plan Duke University provides to first year students locks them into 12 meals a week with $320 in Duke’s equivalent of Board Bucks for $2,505. Compared to

them, N.C. State students pay $180 and $1,095 less respectively. With this in mind, there is plenty of financial room to negotiate for more fresh food and still be more affordable than our rivals. By demanding U.S. Food Service buy N.C. products we get to eat healthier, we know our food is from close by and we can sleep soundly knowing our University and our meal plans support the state economy. Basic economics will tell you consumer choice drives demand, therefore by choosing to buy a meal plan and eat on campus, we should be the ones who say where our food comes from.

And so it begins

hancellor Woodson recently announced that the University would have to find ways to trim its services as budget cuts of up to 15 percent are on the horizon. This is just one of many indiNick cations of the Romanos dire financial Staff columnist dilemma our state and nation face as a whole. With the economy just beginning to pick up steam, a combination of high unemployment numbers and continuation of low tax rates is leaving lawmakers in a bind. Do they raise taxes at the cost of jeopardizing recovery and job creation or do they scale back services and hope the people affected don’t fall by the wayside? Whatever happens, no one of any political persuasion will disagree that continuing to improve the economy should be priority number one rig ht now. Si nce t he campaign for the 2010 mid-term elections, Republicans have promised to repeal President Obama’s health care bill, a bill the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimated would help reduce the national deficit by over a trillion dollars in the coming decade. In January, Republicans made good on their promise, passing a bill on the House floor to repeal the Affordable Care Act. However, the Democratic majority squashed the bill when it went to a vote in the Senate. Surely, House Majority Leader John Boehner and the Republican leadership knew their measure was doomed for failure in the Senate. Nonetheless, they went about their symbolic gesture as continuing worries about the economic recovery and mounting national debt still remain largely unsettled. With a failed healthcare repeal in the books, Republican leadership made its next move in proposing the No Taxpayer for Abortion Act, which would rule out federal financial assistance for many abortion cases, including those of statutory

rape. Had this act gone through as proposed, conservative leadership would essentially be redefining the government’s definition of rape to exclude acts performed when the victim was unconscious or drugged. Fortunately, activist groups caught wind of this legislation and the bill’s language was revised to include all previously defined forms of rape. Once again, we witness another futile battle that not only failed to accomplish any real governance, but made its proposers out to be foolish, if not downright inept. While the GOP has attained an impeccable reputation built on a foundation of symbolic gestures designed to win applause from a Judeo-Christian society, now is simply not the time for more of the same. With ballooning deficits and a f ledg l i ng recovery that is critical to the future of t he nation, it’s time for lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to sit down and brainstorm some rea l solutions. This means not getting held up on doomed measures to redefine abortion and obliterate the new health care law. Vigorous debate is a critical element to a true democracy, but only if the issue being debated is relevant to the nation’s most pressing needs.

“It’s time for lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to sit down and brainstorm some real solutions.”

Would you like more local, fresh foods offered in the dining halls? by brett morris

Considered “daringly modernistic” when it opened in 1954, the College Union Building served as the student center until 1972, when the ever-growing student population’s needs demanded a larger facility. D.H. Hill Library also was in need of a major expansion after the student center was moved into the newly-constructed Talley Student Center, the old College Union was inorporated in to the library and renamed the Erdahl-Cloyd Wing.

Answer “bad” speech with more speech N.C. State students are to be commended for rejecting suggestions that a student group be formed to “keep up” the Free Expression Tunnel. Far from making the tunnel more “diversity appreciative,” as one student put it, such a group would likely see its function as a “censorship squad” with the duty to paint over any expression in the tunnel that someone could find offensive. Pro-choice slogans? Offensive to pro-lifers - paint over them. Christian messages? Offensive to atheists. Free Tibet? Offensive to Chinese students. N.C.

Dawning an N.C. State ball cap and a backpack, Jeffery Braden walked into classes trying to act like a normal student. However, the dean of CHASS wasn’t taking notes on the lectures. He was observing, from the perspective of a student, how the University operates and the dynamic between students and instructors. Meanwhile, Sarah Hager, a junior in communications, awoke to attend the council of dean’s meeting. Every year, Dean Braden picks a CHASS student to exchange roles for Dean of the Day, a special event he started three years ago. “It’s refreshing to get out of the office,” Braden said, “and I like to see how the University functions from a student level. It allows me to go back to work with a clearer vision.” Although Braden’s day was more relaxed than his normal schedule, he still attended Hager’s classes, which began at 8:30 a.m. and followed her routine until 5:00 p.m. at night. “I don’t know how Sarah does it,” Braden said to Hager after finishing Hager’s routine DJ shift at WKNC. “It was quite a busy day.” Hager, on the other hand, prepared herself for a day of briefings and meetings full of many of the highest-ranking officials at the University, including all the academic deans, the provost and various department heads. The first meeting, Council of Deans, discussed the upcoming budget cuts and Hager got an inside view on how the University plans to reanalyze funding. “I learned how collaborative and thorough the process is that the University official take to deal with this rough budget crisis,” Hager said. “The deans

Hagar and Braden switched positions for the day. “I’m going to take an appreciation from this day,” Hagar said. “There is no right answer [to the budget cuts].”

with other administrator and faculty. If I don’t get outside and interact the students occasionally, I won’t be effective as a dean.” Upon reflecting on her experience, Hager mentioned her relief to view the handling of issues from the inside. “When March 15 comes, when we start cutting down on the budget, it’s not going to be D-Day for the University,” Hager said. “It was good to hear the news first person and not hear it through the grape vine.” Braden commented on how impressed and humbled he is to observe his colleagues at work. “It’s really through things like this that I get to actually talk and hear from other students,” Braden said. “It is a treat to see my colleagues work. They really kick butt. They are awesome teachers. It really came across to me.” However, both Hager and Braden were ready to switch back to normalcy at the end of the day. Exhausted from the novelty of the day, the two took back new understandings of their positions at the University and a new appreciation for their own schedules.

Design grads’ t-shirts encourage civic pride College of Design grads incorporate their studies into t-shirts that are informative and stylish. Elizabeth Ayscue Staff Writer

Lots of t-shirts have witty sayings or interesting designs on them. They may showcase a favorite band or TV show, but not many t-shirts can demonstrate the effort that goes into the design of a city --and also give directions for any lost and weary travelers. These functional and fashionable shirts are the product of a small independent business called CityFabric, which is gaining rapid popularity both in the Triangle and nationwide. CityFabric was started by Matt Tomasulo and Ben Hood, both landscape architecture graduates of the College of Design, when they were bored over the summer. After brainstorming, they came up with idea of printing city maps on t-shirts and selling them. The whole idea was to take the design elements that go into building a city and put them on a t-shirt. “It ties into basic surface level understanding about how our environment has come to be,” Tomasulo said. Hood, who also has a master’s degree in landscape architecture, said, “You can find all of those things [design principles] in the built form of the city. It’s a pretty engaging graphic.” The shirts have the “figure-ground” of the city printed on them. A figureground shows the buildings and other structures of the city in a grid layout, with relationship to the roads, parking lots and other open spaces—the mass in relationship to the void. “It was a tool we used before in school,” Hood said. This tool is also how the business

of Design influenced the decision to got its name. “When a highway goes through go with their small business venture, downtown, they say it cuts through especially the use of the figure-ground the ‘city fabric,’” Tomasulo said. “It’s to represent the city. “It’s definitely what drove us in the kind of a play on words.” The t-shirts themselves are cotton, direction of this venture,” Hood said. While it simply started as something organic shirts that come from a company in Burlington that CityFabric has that utilized their design knowledge, teamed up with. They also digitally Tomasulo and Hood have watched print the maps on the shirts, but To- their small business grow into somemasulo explained that they do hand thing much more for its patrons. “We started talking about ideas printing with the College of Design. According to Tomasulo, they first about how we could engage people took an advertisement out on an with the city,” Tomasulo said. They explained that when people urban planning blog and received a favorable response from it, despite it look at the shirts, they recognize difbeing an academic blog.

Despite the success T he y a l s o e xand popularity of the pla ined t hat t he shirts, Tomasulo and other point of the Hood discovered project is to educate that a lot of people and inform people loved the idea of the about their city and figure-grounds but Matt Tomasulo, cofounder of other cities. weren’t interested in CityFabric “It’s information wearing a t-shirt. about your city,” “We’re missing a Tomasulo said. “It’s whole niche of people who love their city and are pas- taking pride in the place you live.” Meredith Owens, a sophomore in sionate about their city, but don’t wear first year college, said she thought the t-shirts,” Tomasulo said.

and work on the branding for the business. They are also looking into screen printing on better quality paper and possibly printing on other materials beside t-shirts. “There’s a lot of different directions that we could go in and we’re really trying to figure out how to craft in the simplest form,” Tomasulo said. “We’re just seeing what other directions we can take it in,” Hood said. Overall, they both hope that people

will use the shirts or canvases to engage their city in a way they have not had the opportunity to do before. “We’ve had a lot of people who have seen something on the shirt that they’ve never seen before,” Tomasulo said. “There’s the element of discovery. There’s the element of the unknown.”

An appetite for affection The fact that food and romance are complimentary is a no-brainer. Here are some ideas to consider for the coming holiday. Story By mark herring | photos By natalie ross

eartbeat increases, dopamine courses out of the excited brain cortex and we can only stop until self-control intervenes. It is no surprise that food and romance, two of the essential parts of the procreation of mankind, compliment each other and at various times become confused or one-in-the-same.

Food and love, go hand-in-hand, and Valentine’s Day lends itself to mixing the two. However, for couples not going out, staying at home presents the risk of a meal turning sour. However, there are basic guidelines for cooks of any sort to follow. “Food preference tends to come from the psychological perspective,” Dr. Suzie Goodell, assistant professor in nutrition, said. “There are some things that you can do with your date to make them like you. Comfort food that evoke warm fuzzy feelings, things that put people at ease.” These feelings of comfort come from the secretion of the neu-

rotransmitter dopamine, which pleasant smells, tastes and lust stimulate. “Food is very sentimental,” Goodell said. “This then provokes a hormonal response. If it’s a good feeling that you remember, it’s going to make you comfortable.” However, the secret to cooking a meal that elicits amorous feelings is not behind lock and key in the kitchens of Michelin-rated restaurants. In this case, fancy is not what college cooks should attempt. “If it’s not simple and easy then there is risk,” Goodell said. “A soufflé is not a good idea. Make something that’s actually going to turn out. Sweets are always a nice

touch at the end.” Recipes to stick to are ones that incorporate both simplicity and elegance. Overdoing things and going all out for a date only raises the stakes. There are easy recipes with impressive reputations that are hard to screw up, even for inexperienced cooks. The featured Caprese salad, risotto and tiramisu are associated with fine dining, yet they are simple and surprisingly easy to cook. All of these recipes, originating from Italy, demonstrate the style and beauty associated with tasteful yet simple ingredients. They’re also good for cheap and inexperienced college chefs.

Men’s tennis looks to stay undefeated at home Wolfpack hosts a pair of matches against No. 70 Northwestern and South Carolina over weekend. Jon Goodman Staff Writer

The No. 58 N.C. State men’s tennis team will host a pair of matches over the weekend starting today against No. 70 Northwestern, followed by a match Saturday against South Carolina. The Wolfpack (4-3) is undefeated at home and is coming off a 2-3 road trip to kick off the ITA. The road trip ended with a win at Penn State University. The Northwestern team carries a 4-1 record into Raleigh after suffering its first loss of the season, a 7-0 sweep to Princeton University. “I haven’t played Northwestern before so I don’t want to put pressure on the team by saying that we will win, but if everyone brings their ‘A’ game, we have a really good chance of being successful,” sophomore Dave Thomson said, who is currently ranked 106th in the nation. The team plays at 4 p.m. Friday and will have a light practice on Saturday before taking on South Carolina at noon on Sunday. Saturday’s practice will give

the team the opportunity to prepare for the Gamecocks and make any mental or physical adjustments, using Friday’s game as a fresh reference. “It’s important to remember Friday, to remember things you did well and to remember any mistakes you made, to try to keep doing the good things right and try to make up for any mistakes,” junior Dominic Hodgson said, who is ranked 82nd in the nation. “Overall, we try to take it one match at a time. Mentally you just have to go into each day and match the same as the last, with a clear head and ready to win.” On Sunday the Wolfpack will face a South Carolina team that is coming off a successful weekend in which it improved its record to 3-4 by winning both matches of a doubleheader. “I played South Carolina last year and we lost 4-3 in a real tight one so we’re looking to get revenge on Sunday,” Hodgson said. “But first we have to take care of Northwestern.” Sunday presents an opportunity for some of the players to avenge last season’s defeat to the Gamecocks in Columbia, S.C. “This time last year, I was defeated in the deciding match and we lost 4-3,” Thomson said. “I have learned from that and I’m looking to get my revenge.”

Nagaraj, a junior, found her way to N.C. State in 2008 and is currently majoring in sports management while also maintaining athletic excellence. Her presence ended up being one of the deciding factors that eventually brought Bhambri to Raleigh. Bhambri is pursuing a master’s degree and is happy that she found a university that would allow her to follow both her sport and academic desires. “I wanted to get my MBA and I also wanted to play tennis,” Bhambri said. “Sandhya was already here so I wanted to go somewhere where it was more comfortable to start. I was getting a scholarship for my master’s while also playing, which you cannot do at a lot of schools. I think it just worked out very well to come here.” When they’re not competing, training or travelling, both Nagaraj and Bhambri like to spend their small amount of free time doing things that most college students enjoy. “I used to read a lot of books but I don’t really have so much time anymore,” Nagaraj said. “I also like to hang out with my friends. We travel a lot over the spring, which takes up a lot of your free time. I also like to listen to a lot of different types of music. Usu-

ally I listen to Coldplay, Nora Jones, Dido, Jack Johnson, and other people like that.” Bhambri also likes to listen to music, especially when preparing for matches. “I have to listen to a couple of minutes of music before I walk on the court,” Bhambri said. “The music depends, though. It’s usually kind of soft. Not rap music. My favorite song is Teenage Dream by Katy Perry.” Individually, Bhambri and Nagaraj have done some pretty amazing things with their tennis careers. Nagaraj reminisced over the time she has spent representing her home country. “My f avor ite moment was when I was at the Asian Games,” Nagaraj said. “It’s like the Olympics but just for Asia. It’s once every four years. I got on the team in 2006 and the whole two weeks was just such a blast. I got to represent my country with all the top people in the nation. That was the proudest moment I’ve ever had.” Neither one of the two know whether or not they want to play professionally after they graduate but they are both focused on making their final season together a successful one. “It would be nice to go pretty deep in the NCAA tournament,” Nagaraj said. “Last year we barely missed out on NCAA so hopefully, as a team, we make it. This is our last year playing so it would be really nice to get some big wins. We have a really good team this year so it would be great.”

the players’ minds as they depart tomorrow afternoon. The Pack has a fantastic opportunity to prove that its young lineup has shown steady progression. “I think the coaches are trying to put a different lineup and make a team that can score low,” Menendez said. “It’s great that everyone has

an equal opportunity to play. It was really tough qualifying this time.” Coach Page Marsh said she has enjoyed watching the group take some of its first steps. “As a coach, it’s exciting for our team because it shows that we have depth,” Marsh said. “In this particular event, we’ll be very young. It’s a special trip for the student athletes and a great opportunity to play in warm weather and get some good practice in.”

N.C. State Baseball HOF welcomes three new inductees Former Wolfpack baseball standouts Brian Bark, Turtle Zaun and Tom Sergio will be inducted into the N.C. State Baseball Hall of Fame today at the program’s annual First Pitch Banquet at the Marriot downtown. Bark finished his collegiate career in 1990, setting 15 different records during his four years in Raleigh before playing one season in the major leagues. Zaun, the 1988 ACC Player of the Year and a twotime All-American, finished his Wolfpack career as one of the most prolific sluggers in program history, belting 25 home runs and driving in 87 runs during his senior campaign, both singleseason records. Sergio was a freshman All-American in 1994, the only player in program history to do so. The second baseman was also a first team All-ACC selection and All-American in 1995 and 1997.

Coach Steve Springthorpe announced the program has added five more recruits to the 2011 class, which already includes four players who enrolled in January and will participate in spring practice. The nine-player class includes seven in-state recruits and one transfer. The Wolfpack recruited heavily around the Raleigh area as four players— Stephanie Bronson (Leesville Road), Reilly Brown (Green Hope), Anna Dulaney (Sanderson) and Rachel Harris (Apex)—all played for high schools in Wake County.

Wolfpack falls in quadruple overtime to Cavaliers

Buzzer-beater ends record-setting game for Wolfpack.

Freshman guard Myisha Goodwin-Coleman also played for an amazing 52 minutes. “When Bonae [Holston] fouled out I realized I had to contribute to the team,” Burke said. “Fortunately my shots were going in and trying to go for rebounds and steals. I had to do something because we don’t have much depth. I guess my mind just suddenly clicked and I just had to perform really well.” Though the team did not leave Reynolds last night with another win, they are stronger having played together as a team for so long. Even after an 11-minute pause by officials to correct record books, Burke still managed to sink two free throws to tie in the game in the third overtime. With five players in the game having to sit on the bench due to fouling out, the State bench was forced to step up. The combined team effort was well accepted by fans. “What I’ve learned from this is just what coach Kellie said, to ‘Not quit,’” Kastanek said. “We’ve gone through so much this year and this game just puts the cherry on top.

Dynamic tennis duo dominates doubles

Puerto Rico offers unique experience

India natives Nagaraj and Bhambri reunited as doubles partners in Raleigh. Josh Hyatt Staff Writer

From the outside, roommates Sandhya Nagaraj and Sanaa Bhambri may seem just like best friends going to college together. Upon further investigation, however, it is clear that there is much more to the pair than meets the eye. Individually, Bhambri and Nagaraj are ranked No.’s 32 and 53 by the ITA in singles, respectively. Collectively, they are considered the seventh-best women’s doubles team in the nation and have helped N.C. State become the 42nd-ranked team in the country. Together, the pair finished their fall season with a 13-3 record and has started the spring off strongly with a 3-1 record thus far. Bhambri attributes her success with Nagaraj to the bond they have created over the years. “We met very early,” Bhambri said. “We met by the time we were 13 in a tournament. I think we’re very open towards one another. We don’t have to

think twice to say anything. I think it’s that openness that makes us have so much success with one another and that compliments us on the court. We kind of know what each other is going to do without saying it; we can predict one another.” Both Nagaraj and Bhambri started playing very young at different ages and in separate parts of India. Bhambri, who is from New Dehli, started playing at the age of seven by following in the footsteps of her older sister. Over 1,000 miles to the south, on India’s east

coast, Nagaraj began her tennis journey at the age of nine. Neither one of them knew what the future had in store but tennis eventually brought them together. “When I was 13, I got selected to play for India,” Nagaraj said. “Sanaa was on the team, too. It wasn’t a big deal then but then I really got into it. After that, we played on and off. We played through several tournaments but I didn’t play many in India because I started training in Europe, in Barcelona.”
