Red Hat to leave Centennial Free and open-source software company leaving after being located on Varsity Drive since 2002. Joshua Chappell Senior Staff Writer

Centennial Campus will soon lose one of the world’s most successful companies over the last decade. Red Hat, known as the world’s leading provider of open source technology solutions, announced last week they will move their headquarters from their current location on Varsity Drive to the Progress Energy Building in downtown Raleigh. The company will occupy part of the space that is expected to be created with the merger of Progress Energy and Charlotte-based Duke Energy. Red Hat officials could not be reached for comment on the decision to move. Founded in 1993, Red Hat employs over 2,500 people in 58 countries. It has been publicly held since 1999. The company moved from Durham to its current location in 2002. This move comes amid plans for expansion that the company announced in January. Plans include investing $109 million in expanding the Wake County headquarters, adding 240 jobs over the next four years and adding 300 jobs in 2015, according to WRAL. This would result in an average annual salary of $80,000 to $83,000, which is almost double the average annual salary for Wake County: $42,700. North Carolina officials said the

University faculty, staff and graduate students were able to register for Distance Education and Learning Technology Applications seminars beginning this week. The seminars and workshops, designed to improve online education practices, will be held in the Information Technologies Teaching Center labs in D.H. Hill Library beginning Sept. 6. The workshops, which are listed on the University’s DELTA website, include introductory topics such as basic web page creation and using Moodle and WolfWare, and higher level topics like teaching an online course and creating web videos. According to the DELTA site, the most advanced topics seek to expand the trainee’s knowledge of web-based instructional strategies

Red Hat, one of the world’s leading open source software companies, is planning to move their headquarters from Centennial Campus to downtown Raleigh. Red Hat has been situated at the corner of Main Campus Drive and Varsity Drive since 2002.

total Red Hat expansion is estimated to have an economic impact of $1.5 billion, according to WRAL. WRAL says there is currently no timeline for the move. Progress Energy and Duke Energy filed for regulatory approval of the companies on April 4. The newly merged company is expected to relocate to Charlotte. Eric Whitmire, a junior in computer science, said he thinks the Red Hat move will be a significant loss for Cen-

tennial Campus. “Red Hat has helped give Centennial Campus its reputation as a place for corporations, initiatives and research communities to come together as a community,” Whitmire said. “They were one of the flagship companies of our campus and their relocation represents a significant loss. Hopefully Red Hat’s support will continue and [open source] initiatives will continue to thrive.” Carol Burton graduated from N.C.

The North Carolina Museum of Art is temporarily hosting ten sculptures by French artist Rodin after Iris Cantor, of the Cantor Foundation, offered to lend them out. The sculptures were originally housed in Cantor’s previous residence but could not fit into her new residence. When she found out space was an issue, she offered to loan the sculptures to the art museum. Prior to lending out the Rodin sculptures, the Cantor Foundation had made a generous donation to the museum that included 29 Rodin pieces. “Since she was so very happy about the way we had set up the previous sculptures, she offered to lend us the ones she couldn’t fit in her house,” David Steel, a curator for the museum, said. The ten sculptures that are being lent are related to other Rodin pieces the museum already has on display, Steel said. Eight of the sculptures will be displayed inside and two of them will be on display in an outdoor garden. “They look good in the new building because they’re lit by the sun and that’s what Rodin wanted people to see, so that’s how they’re being shown,” Steel said. Though the lending is currently only set to last six months for two pieces and one year for the other eight, Steel said he hopes those dates will be changed. “It’s a not-so-secret wish of mine that she’ll like how they’re installed so much that she lets us keep them,” Steel said. The museum receives loaned items

nity,” Burton said. She also said that the move could create a new opportunity for the University. “[The move] also provides another opportunity for the University to create a partnership with a different company that can learn how valuable State graduates can be to a company,” Burton said. Whitmire said he does not think the relocation will have a negative effect on the ability of students to seek internships at the company. “Since [Red Hat] is remaining within Raleigh, I can’t imagine that [the move] would dissuade too many applicants,” Whitmire said. Burton said that while her decision to initially apply for an internship at Red Hat in 2008 was not greatly affected by the location of the company, it did play a role at the end of her internship. “I started as a summer intern, but because of the convenience and proximity to campus, it was easy to continue working during the school year,” Burton said. Burton said her internship provided great opportunities to students. “My internship was not just a job, but an excellent learning experience,” Burton said. “Not every internship gives you the opportunity to sit down with the Chief Financial Officer in a one-on-one meeting, or the opportunity to meet with the Chief Executive Officer and ask any question we had,” Burton said.

and multimedia development. Donna Petherbridge, associate vice provost of DELTA instructional support services, said the seminar series is not only about distance education, but rather teaching faculty how to use technology. Petherbridge has also taught a distance education class. “There are no requirements for faculty who teach online to take [DELTA] training,” Petherbridge said. “The classes are open to faculty — wteaching technology topics [such as] how to set up courses or a Moodle quiz, creating online groups and forums.” According to Petherbridge, there is a focus on training in technology provided by Enterprise which includes the digital

platforms WolfWare, Moodle and in-class technologies such as clickers and SMART Boards. “We want people to be familiar with the Enterprise technology,” Petherbridge said. “The workshops focus on the best practices with the technology.” Distance learning through technology is an option which appealed to Chase Platz, a junior in nuclear engineering, who could not be on campus for classes. Platz took distance education courses in introduction to computing, Java and philosophy of ethics. “It was helpful because I didn’t have to be on campus,” Platz said. “I found a job elsewhere and [distance education] worked well with my schedule and the credits transferred.” Platz said, however, despite the use of technology, students probably learn more in physical classes. “It was really slack,” he

said. “It was pretty straightforward; we watched videos and took tests. There wasn’t any proctoring and it was difficult to have any interaction hearing the lecture on a computer.” As far as improving the applications of technology, Platz said more online forums would be beneficial and the instructors could use some sort of chat like Skype to communicate with students. Lydia Bravo-Taylor, a junior in sociology, said having some form of communication with the instructor is important. “You can’t really ask questions,” she said. “It would be good if you could Skype the professor, but I guess the point is the professor can’t be there.” Bravo-Taylor said it can be harder to grasp information because the lectures can be very fast and minds tend to wander more in front of a computer. “It would make a huge dif-

ference if you could send in your questions at the end of the lecture and get a quicker response from the professor,” Bravo-Taylor said. Petherbridge said her experience teaching a distance education class was extremely interactive and personable. She often got feedback commenting her course was one of the most interactive. “I felt like I knew the students very well,” she said. “The amount of work [submitted] and feedback [given] allowed me to know students’ work very well.” Petherbridge said she made time to meet locally with students within driving distance. For students who could not come to campus, she held meetings through Elluminate, a web conferencing program which participants in the DELTA workshops are also being trained in.

Yashar Kasebi, a senior in paper science engineering, took distance education communication for engineering and technology. He said the experience was very interactive. “It’s more responsibility because they throw you assignments and you keep track of it on your own,” Kasebi said. “But the professor was really good at providing feedback and the forums allowed students talk about readings, trade documents and do peer reviews.” Kasebi said the course made use of Elluminate to facilitate communication, but he did not personally use it. “The professor encouraged students to call her so she could get a feel for who the person is and held office hours with voice chat,” Kasebi said. “Everything I needed was there.”

generosity will inspire more people to donate in the future,” Steel said. Including the loaned items, the museum will have 39 Rodin sculptures on site. They are excited to feature such a prominent artist, according to Steel. “He’s an interesting, creative and innovative artist,” Gregory

said. The sculptures go on display Friday for the first time. Steel said the museum is very excited to have everything open and officially available to the public. “Art is the doorway into human condition and human creativity. People in North Carolina are fortunate to have such a fabulous collection, and it’s free for them to see at any time,” Steel said. Marcelo Alvarado, a junior in

mechanical engineering, said having constant updates in the museum is something he appreciates as a visitor. “It keeps everything fresh for people that live around here. It’s cool to see new stuff every time you go,” Alvarado said. Alvarado said that he enjoys visiting the museum to get away from campus when he needs a change of scenery. “It’s a good way to escape campus. It’s really peaceful and pretty — great way to get

The Facts:

This weekend marks the beginning of the 2011 college football season. N.C. State kicks off the football season tomorrow at 6 p.m. against Liberty University.

Our Opinion:

The potential for State’s football program to succeed this year is great. However, there cannot be success without passion, an attribute that has faded in years past due to the opening schedule.

Show up and stay

ven prior to kickoff, there are concerns surrounding N.C. State football. With an unbounded potential to achieve greatness, it is uncertain if we as a University show up this season and take what is ours. State football ended last season with a record of 9-4, finishing 25th in the AP poll. Undoubtedly, last season was successful; however, now is not a time to rest on our laurels. With UNC-Chapel Hill, Miami, and Georgia Tech all having less than NCAA-compliant programs in the past year, State is primed to become the beacon of light in the tarnished ACC. This pursuit begins starts tomorrow at 6 p.m. against Liberty. Each year it seems we get sidetracked in our quest for the

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.

Bowl College Series as all the passion that builds prior to the college football season is lost in the lackluster schedule we face in our first couple of games. By the time we need it, our appetite for football is often lost or sorely diminished. This year, let’s try something different: maintaining our passion through the whole football season. The fervor must first come from the fans. The fans serve to energise the team and the community; therefore, the first step to this is constant sellouts. We should be embarrassed that this game is not sold out. Students around campus should be kicking themselves

for not being at their computer at 12:01 a.m. to request a ticket, not strolling in on game day and feeling as if they are doing their friends a favor by going. These games are a privilege; do not take them for granted. When at the game, even when up by 20 points, do not sit or leave as has been a custom in years past. No student would be found sitting down or leaving a game against Florida State or Virginia Tech up 20 in the second half. This passion cannot change against lesserknown teams. The issue of sportsmanship aside, there is good to be found in never letting off an opponent. Cheer for a 70 point

victory if given the opportunity. Greatness has never been achieved in letting off the gas. With the fans bringing the ferocity, it is up players to bring the fury. We are giving you four quarters of intensity, and we expect the same from the players. This idea is not only rooted in reciprocity. If you only play for a half it’ll be seen when you need to play a whole game. Play tomorrow’s game with perspective of the whole season in mind. To go easy in tomorrow’s game sets a dangerous precedent for the entire season. Let’s maintain the tsunami of passion that is currently building strength as kickoff approaches through our opening games. If we do, we will not be found lacking when it is actually needed.

Let them think green

arlier this week, David Hyman, my economics professor who has a penchant for playing music in his classes, decided to play “Good Day Shivalik Sunshine” at Daga the start of the Staff columnist class. He added later, in a lighter vein, that after a week that saw earthquakes and hurricanes and rains, even the hot sun made for good company. Indeed. The sun is and will always remain the earth’s biggest source of energy, keeping us warm and well-fed by helping us grow our food. Today, technology has made it possible for us to store the sun’s energy and use it to produce electricity, drive cars and even use calculators. However, a lot of real problems exist in the economic feasibility of harnessing the power of the sun. The economic feasibility, and possibly other reasons, have led the University closi ng of t he N.C . S t at e Solar House “u nt i l f u rther notice.” T he Nor t h Carolina Sol a r Hou s e , located at the McKimmon Conference Center, has been closed since July due to budget cuts. The University has made no announcements about the Solar House’s possible reopening in the near or distant future. While this decision may be helping the University save some badly needed capital, it robs campus of one of its few institutions that could represent our interest in alternative energy. Come to think of it, the campus does not have a single “green” landmark that showcases our prowess and interest in climate change to visitors and students alike. To its credit, Student Government has not let the debate die down completely, and by organizing its annual “Think Outside the Brick” competition— accompanied by a winning prize of $1000—is encouraging students to do just that. The competition is organized by the Sustainability Commission of the Student Government and aims to recognize student ideas that help promote sustainability on campus. It also provides funding for a potential imple-

mentation of these projects on campus once the results are announced. But just organizing the competition and rewarding the interest will not be enough. Ideas that are not implemented can deprive us of unaccounted benefits. Last year, the winning entry was for a solar gazebo, which has remained just that—a winning entry. A Google search for “NCSU solar gazebo” barely shows one relevant results page. The first entry is by the College of Natural Resources “News Central” and the tenth is the Technician’s interview with the contest winners. Strewn in between are the websites of companies selling gazebos and solar electric appliances, accompanied by an occasional book review. The year before, the contest was more productive. The contest resulted in the University helping to set up the SOUL Garden—a community garden managed by the students where t hey can grow and eat their own produce. But where is it? Next to the dam at Lake Raleigh on Centennial Campus. Hidden from sight. Invisible on Google Maps. Statistics like 60 percent of the research on campus being related to energy mean little if students can’t even see a single physical manifestation of this effort on campus. I ask the University to please give us something to constantly look at, play with, dabble in, something that will remind us how important this issue is. Let the Red and White think about going green. Hopefully in the years ahead the University can free up some spots between Centennial and Carter-Finley that will help our students think more and more about climate change and the importance of sustainable development. Not only that, it will also help proclaim to observers that the University is a progressive place and is serious about solving the challenges of the 21st century.

“The campus does not have a single ‘green’ landmark that showcases our prowess. ”

Does college depress you?

ith the pressure to make good grades and form relationships, the rising cost of tuition and the assignments college students constantly Nijah Toshumba face, it is no wonder so Staff columnist many students have experienced some form of depression in their first few years of college. Depression and college tend to go hand in hand. When you come to college, you encounter a drastically new environment, and the resulting stress can lead to depression. A lot of college students are ignorant to the fact they might have depression or depressive episodes, as the common belief is it only happens to “crazy” people. College has always been pitched as the time of your life, a time for you to grow up, become independent and do things you have always wanted to do. In many ways, college is this time, but perhaps it is a little too much for first year students. When I came to college, I was not surprised that my classes were much harder than my high school ’s classes, or that I was now at a school with more than 30,000 people. But, like most incoming freshmen, I was not prepared for the reality of having all this pressure on my back and trying

to find my place at such a large university. For some reason I believed the transition would be much easier than it actually has been. N.C. State does a wonderful job of making students feel at home through all the programs and the amount of organizations on campus. But since the school is so large, there are plenty of students who get lost along the way. There is a very welcoming counseling center on campus for t ho s e w ho a re hav i ng t r ou b l e i n t hei r l ives. Students dealing with issues such as depression are common on c ol le ge campuses. A study from the American College Health Association in 2000 said 10 percent of college students have been diagnosed with depression. And the National Mental Health Association quotes a study saying 30 percent of college freshmen report feeling overwhelmed a great deal of the time. Still, students who deal with feelings of depression will probably never use the counseling center, because to this day the word depression has a lot of humiliation and disgraced attached to it. This is unfortunate for those students who are

depressed to the point where they don’t want to get out of bed. It is natural for students at any college to feel homesick or just have a bad day, but once a bad day becomes a bad week and then a bad month, it is time to do something about it. One of the least talked about issues that many incoming freshmen experience is a sense of being lost a nd having feelings of depression. I n colle ge you c om e t o a place where you know few, if any, people ; you basically have to start over, form a new group of friends and get acquainted with a completely different environment. College is tough. If you or anyone you know is having trouble coping with the stresses of college life, or having feelings of depression, let them know there are places on campus where they can get help, and that there are people there to listen.

“Since the school is so large, there are plenty of students who get lost along the way.”

Around the world: Stop Hunger Now After packing more than 48 million meals, Stop Hunger Now has to get them out of Raleigh and abroad. Nishanth Coontoor Correspondent

More than 600 volunteers, mostly students, gathered to package 103,506 meals Aug. 20 at the Service N.C. State event to send to Swaziland—but after the volunteers left Carmichael Gymnasium, someone else had to take care of getting the meals to Africa. Stop Hunger Now is an international hunger relief organization that coordinates the distribution of food and other lifesaving aid around the world. It packages meals for orphanages and school feeding programs and has provided meals to 76 countries worldwide including Uganda, Pakistan and Colombia. A total of 221,900 meals have been packed this week. The non-profit has packed 48,026,504 meals since its inception in 2005. NCSU has hosted Stop Hun-

ger Now in conjunction with Service N.C. State for the past six years and together have packaged 1.8 million meals. “The event witnessed children, students across majors, youth programs and organizations, scouts and even senior citizens volunteer to package meals,” Tierza Watts, associate director of CSLEPS, said. “According to theFAO in 2009, 25,000 people that include both adults and children die every day from hunger and related causes. When this is the scenario, this initiative was just the right thing to do.” According to Jan Rivero, the University program director of Stop Hunger Now, the program perfected the assembly process that combines rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and a flavoring mix including 21 essential vitamins and minerals into small meal packets. “Each meal costs only 25 cents,” Rivero said. “The food stores easily, and has a shelf life of five years and transports quickly. Each bag contains six servings.” According to Rivero, research

has shown that one in three people in developing countries are adversely affected by vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Once taking food from the packaging site to the warehouse, the organization sends it to partner organizations or government programs on the ground in hunger-aff licted countries. These partner organizations pay for the shipping costs, evening out the effort. “Addressing the problem of

hunger is the single point where we can leverage relief for all humanitarian issues,” she said. According to Rivero, providing a hot meal during school gives parents an incentive to send their children to school. “Children seem to have higher levels of concentration, and are developing more normally,” Rivero said. “The program has long lasting impacts--girls are likely to stay in school longer, a decreased childhood mortal-

Club soccer teams prepare for upcoming season Men’s and women’s club soccer recruiting through preseason training. Rishav Dey Staff Writer

Two of the most competitive club sports – men’s and women’s soccer – are finally getting ready to begin the new season. The men’s club soccer team, which had an undefeated spring season and the women’s club soccer team are both conducting tryouts, building their teams in order to again challenge for top honors this season. Richard Mallory, senior and captain of the men’s team, acknowledged the specific type of players they seek while conducting tryouts. “We look for a high level of play,” Mallory said. “A lot of players out here have played varsity [in high school]. Sadly, we don’t look at any experience of players that are trying to kick around. We have been ranked nationally over the last couple of years, so it’s almost varsity level of play.” Ally Mitchell, senior and vice president of the women’s club soccer team, kept her recruiting strategy simple. “We are looking for players that are competitive and dedicated,” Mitchell said. Both Mitchell and Mallory are excited at the prospect of playing different tournaments in the upcoming semester, many of which have now be-

by playing with them.” Grandy was also optimistic about getting to know the current players. “Hopefully, they can help me, as they have already been in my shoes as a freshman trying to adjust to the college life and new responsibilities,” Grandy said. However, Grandy also had some reservations about joining the team because of the time commitment. “I don’t want playing soccer to distract me from my studies,” Grandy said. “Hopefully, I will learn to balance my time better through playing. I wanted to try out to see how it goes and whether it will be right for me this year.” Sevket Imamoglu, an international student from Turkey, tried out as well. “In Turkey we play as a team. But here they play more individually, not as a team,” Imamoglu said. “So in the trials I couldn’t play my best as we make more passes in my team in Turkey.” Imamoglu also felt that as an international student who has played a lot of soccer before, the members of the club team weren’t particularly excited to have him. “They were good,” Imamoglu said, “but I can’t say they encouraged me to join.” The men’s and the women’s club teams currently practice on the Method Road fields between 5 and 9 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays.

the receiver’s hands. “Mike’s passes are crisp, so the passing game is crisp, that’s really all there is to it,” Graham said. “The ball will be there for us, we just have to catch it.” Glennon may be the star quarterback for the Pack, but Liberty’s signal-caller is no slouch. Mike Brown, a three-time captain and two-time Big South preseason offensive player of the year, is a 6-foot, 1-inch quarterback who may remind a lot of State fans of another quarterback with a slightly smaller build than the norm. Brown passed for 2,956 yards along with 854 yards rushing in his junior season. The Charlottesville, Va. native may be worrisome for the Pack on the offensive side of the ball, but defensively, look no further than 6-foot, 5-inch, 380-pound defensive lineman Asa Chapman. At the Division I-AA level, the Flames have been on fire. They have won the last four straight Big South conference titles and compiled an 8-3 record last season. While Glennon knows the threat of players like Chapman and Brown on the other side of the ball, he said he plans to go out to the field focused on one thing. “I just want to compete and get a win,” Glennon said. “I don’t care how we do it. Hopefully get my first win as a starter and move on to week two.” Another headline for State in the last week has been the announcement of junior James Washington as the starting running back on the depth chart. After it

was released that sophomore Mustafa Greene would have to undergo foot surgery in the offseason and would not return until early October, the position appeared to be up for grabs for Washington or redshirt senior Curtis Underwood, Jr. Though speculation may have been swirling as to which of the running backs would receive the starting nod, Washington said he felt the starting job was his from the opening of camp. “I started off [in the spring] as the starter,” Washington said. “So hearing that I’m the starter tells me that I’ve held down my position throughout training camp.” Last year at this time, it was believed that Washington would be the starter by media outlets coming out of practice. But after a hampering hamstring issue held him out of the first five weeks, two inexperienced running backs, Dean Haynes and Greene, took over the duties in the backfield. This year, though, Washington said he is content with his position on the team. “It’s reassuring to know that I was able to hold down my spot,” Washington said. “Last year I wasn’t able to hold up because of injuries and other stuff. It’s a big relief. Last year it was really tough having to sit out and watch other players take over.” While players under coach Tom O’Brien never look ahead to future games, Glennon had a bold statement to make about this season for the Pack. “I don’t see any reason why we can’t win them all,” Glennon said. “I mean, I know that’s a big statement, but I think it’s a legitimate statement. We have the talent and we have put in the work. There’s not a game on the schedule that I think we can’t win.”

Sept. 17 vs. south alabama Raleigh, 6 p.m.

Ohio State, North Carolina State, Miami, Georgia Tech and a myriad of other collegiate football programs have stolen the headlines nationally from what might be one of the biggest stories of the year. Former quarterback Russell Wilson is now a Badger, and has his first career win away from N.C. State. That story has stolen the local headlines away from players who are stepping up on the offensive side of the ball for the Wolfpack this season. An early season football matchup against Liberty may not draw attention like a matchup between No. 3 Oregon and No. 4 LSU. But on Saturday, all eyes will be focused on the 6-foot, 6-inch redshirt junior quarterback Mike Glennon, who has been praised by coaches and players alike to perform as well as, if not better, than Wilson. Senior wide receiver T.J. Graham said his understanding of Glennon should help them in difficult situations throughout the game. “He knows what I like to do and I know what he wants to do,” Graham said.

N.C. State Senior quarterback Mike Glennon: Very few people on the field will be attracting as much attention as that drawn by Mike Glennon. In his first career start at the collegiate level, Glennon will be looking to prove himself at the quarterback position. In his small amount of game play experience in 2010, Glennon had a 69.2 passing completion percentage with a 119.6 passer rating. Senior wide receiver T.J. Graham: Graham will seek to fill the void in the wide receiver role left by former players Owen Spencer and Jarvis Williams. In his 2010 campaign, Graham averaged 12.6 yards per reception from his 25 total receptions on the season. Graham has yet to fully prove himself in the wide receiver role but after the preseason, Graham is aiming to impress.

Redshirt junior quarterback Mike Glennon launches a pass during the Kay Yow Spring Game Saturday, April 16, 2011. Glennon had 182 yards passing and two interceptions in the rain shortened game.

Quarterback Russell Wilson certainly made a pleasant first impression on the Badger fans Thursday night during the Wisconsin season opener against UNLV. Before being subbed out of the game with a little over two minutes left in the third quarter, Russell led the Badger offense to a 51-3 lead over the Rebels at Camp Randall Stadium. Wilson completed nearly 77 percent of his passes on the night, covering 255 yards in less than three quarters of play. Perhaps his greatest play of the night came from his 46-yard rush
