CNR sells largest forest holding The College of Natural Resources will sell Hofmann Forest, a nearly 80,000-acre plot of forestry near the coast of North Carolina, Dean Mary Watzin announced last Wednesday. Watzin said the decision was made as a minority of students have made use of the land recently, with greater use of the closer Hill Forest near Durham. The land will remain a commercial forest with different, unspecified owners. “We are at a competitive disadvantage compared to large commercial operations, which have greater resources to manage in the face of a changing business climate,” Watzin said in an online statement. The forest, which has been in use by the College of Natural Resources since 1936, was the college’s largest plot of land. Watzin said the decision sought to “provide the greatest good for the largest number of CNR students, our faculty and staff, and our professions, over the long term.” Further details regarding the forest will be released over the next few months, according to Watzin’s statement.
College Democrats hold first meeting of semester The College Democrats held its first meeting of the semester on Monday in order to organize its plans regarding its interactions on campus, volunteer efforts and future meetings.

CEO talks about security, terrorism Taylor O’Quinn Staff Writer
The U.S. government has struggled to find a solution to risk management and liability issues after the 9/11 attacks, Thomas Lehrman, former director of the Office of Weapons of Mass Destruction Terrorism, said at a campus talk Monday afternoon. Lehrman spoke about risk management and liability problems in the government and private sector, using his experience as a high-ranking government official, as well as CEO of Alta Investors as testimony. “I’m trying to expose an area to people and the government that is typically not thought about,” Lehrman said. Faced with a limited amount of sources, coming up with solutions to terrorist and risk management problems has been an ongoing struggle for the United States government, Lehrman said. “There are four types of global networks: transportation, financial, communication and research and development. These networks create new risks since each one is vulnerable to a terrorist virus,” Lehrman said. “In a globalizing world of internet, information can be diffused a lot quicker,” Lehrman said. “A lot of work [from the government] is going into detecting these viruses.” When networks are vulnerable, terrorist organizations can

uses an incentive solution to encourage the private sector to become more involved. Lehrman thinks incorporating the private sector helps reduce liability for the government and adds more national protection, although a clear solution has not yet been acquired for detecting viruses and reducing the amount of risk involved. “We’ve had these problems since 1976,” Richard Kearney, professor of political science and public administration, said. “I wonder if there’s any policy learning that’s going on in Washington. Why haven’t we figured it out yet?” Lehrman, who worked at the State Department from 2004 to 2007, said that at the department, “you feel like you’re flying 35,000 feet above the problem.” Terrorism is an everyday occurrence analyzed by the department. “Insurance companies have become more involved in risk management since the Sept. 11 attacks,” Lehrman said.

allowed insurance companies time to develop solutions and products to help insure against acts of terrorism. Businesses currently use two different models to counteract terrorist viruses. The “layered-in-depth” model focuses on strengthening the various defense programs within the government. Lehrman described the other model as “using a network to fight a network,” by cutting links that terrorists may have access to. “Even though the government has been working on this issue for decades, there is still no solution,” Lehrman said. “Whenever there was a particular problem, the government would always appoint a coordinator of ‘X’ to solve the problem.” “The new coordinator appointed to solve a particular problem never had any real authority,” Lehrman said. “It was difficult for this individual to get all of the different programs involved in the problem into one room.” This is why the government relies on the private sector to help support the governments’ defense strategies financially through insurance. “We have scarce resources to deal with all of the threats and security problems,” Lehrman said. “How do we become more effective in security with less money?”

Most solitary bee species, however, go through a kind of insect hibernation by hiding in leaf litter or other places, waiting to emerge the next spring. Tarpy said honeybees are among the most resilient bee
species and can survive in a range of habitats. In the case of quickly changing temperatures, as Raleigh has experienced this winter, honeybees would likely be the least affected. Tarpy said bees that students see flying around campus are likely in an area that supports their scavenging preferences. If spotted, they would likely linger “in the natural areas of campus.”

The relevant irrelevance of college rankings
I
t would be redundant to mention that the N.C. State men’s basketball team is ranked No. 19 in The Associated Press’ top-25 poll. We all have memorized and boasted about our school’s stellar sports ranking, but you would be humbled to learn that our university is only 106th on the 2013 U.S. News & World Report list of best colleges in the nation. To put this in perspective, Duke is ranked eighth and UNC-Chapel Hill 30th. Before you withdraw yourself from this pathetic, not-even-top-100 university and begin dressing yourself in any shade of blue, let us analyze the meaning and purpose of these rankings. Many of the statistics that define a university are purely related to the high school students it admits. For example, the N.C. State admissions website features tables showing the GPA, class rank and SAT scores of accepted students. And though many people use this as the basis to judge a university’s difficulty, these statistics tell nothing of student activity while in college. Success in high school does not necessarily equate to success in college. As the saying goes — which Technician doesn’t endorse — “Cs get degrees, and

a doctor who graduates last in his class is still called ‘doctor.’” Fewer than half of those who applied to N.C. State in 2012 were admitted. Selectivity is a source of pride for students who are accepted, but it may not always paint an accurate picture of the university’s merit. Mark Gordon, president of the astutely named Defiance College in Ohio, suggested, “If a school wants to move up in the rankings by appearing more selective, they simply decrease the acceptance rate by encouraging more applications from precisely those students they know they will not admit.” Thus, college statistics could be manufactured. George Leef of Carolina Journal Online wrote, “In preparing its rankings, U.S. News
relies on six factors. Four of those factors are input measurements: financial resources, alumni giving, faculty resources and student quality. One is an output measurement (student retention and graduation rates) and one is a subjective guess (academic reputation). Not one of the factors purports to measure the thing that academic quality is centrally about, namely learning.” Why would U.S. News use an admittedly subjective ranking like word-of-mouth reputation in the ranking at all? Leef also contributed to the Pope Center for Higher Education Policy’s 2004 report, titled “Do College Rankings Mean Anything? Why rankings by U.S. News and others are deeply flawed.” He and co-author Michael Lowrey concluded, “More

Dear Technician,

Letter to the Editor In “Why UNC won’t have State as a rival: From a current UNCCH student,” the author writes, “On one’s first day [at UNC], he or she is constantly told how he and his other classmates are the best students from the state, ... [which] gives the impression that students at other schools, like State, are not as smart as us.” There are at least two reasons this attitude is unhealthy: (1) Schools are not monolithic. The education a student obtains is most influenced by the degree program(s) they choose, the classes they take, the professors with whom they dig deeper and the extracurricular opportunities they pursue. Smart students give little credence to a university’s overall rank when selecting their school. I know several NC State students who were offered admission at both UNC and Duke, but declined because State was a better fit for them. I hope UNC students realize their education is not inherently better than ours. They, like us, must strategically pursue their passions to get a first-rate education. (2) Thinking oneself superior to another group stems from one’s fears and insecurities. In this case, students �build up their school at the expense of another to allay their fear that they are at the “wrong” school. We are better off when we put away pernicious stereotypes, fight the urge to constantly compare and
After spending �four years at N.C. State, I, too, was under the impression that UNC-CH was fraught with vegan, Zunewielding hipsters. However, I was wrong and so are you. You need not go to Chapel Hill to prove the truth-value of my statement. Go to Mitch’s on Hillsborough Street or listen to WKNC 88.1 and you will understand that N.C. State’s level of counterculture is impossible to top. I urge you to stop making fun of UNC for being the Mecca for the hipster crowd when your hands run so red with plaid. After attending UNC since graduation, I have learned that most of my/our stereotypes about UNC were wrong. There’s really only one predominate activity taking place at UNC: girls of all ages and sizes vacuum-sealing their leggings to themselves. It’s a blessing and a curse. Cheers, Josh Lucas N.C.

highly ranked colleges and universities do not necessarily offer a better academic experience than do schools with lower rankings.” Therefore, parents and students should not be fooled by what Leef and Lowrey call “facile and formulaic rankings.” Furthermore, successful people will be successful regardless of where — or even if — they go to college. Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg were both Harvard dropouts. Harvard, then, was not essential in their billion-dollar successes. In this way, the name of the university should not matter as much as the rigor and determination of the individual students. In contrast, the merit that comes with a university’s name is an important factor in job placement. Consequently, universities walk a fine line. Rankings are important when it comes to recruiting students but, in many ways, say nothing about the quality of education the university provides. If we must look at rankings, let us be defined not by the students we accept, but by the success of the students we graduate. In the end, college isn’t about how you enter but how you come out.

The cost of digital copyright: Blame the middleman
W
hy do you need to read this? Because it will be unpleasant to realize in the future that things you make are not yours to share. I am going to try to clear out t he hu llabaloo Naman over digiMuley Staff Columnist tal copyrights. First: the parties involved. Foremost are the researchers, people who spend their lives creating original research and furthering human knowledge. Second are the investors, people who provide the money researchers need. The researchers don’t generally have all the funds they need to buy state-of-the-art research equipment. They seek public f unding f rom government bodies, such as the National Science Foundation and the National Security Agency, or they join private institutions of research like IBM Research or Google. Third come the middlemen. Once the research is done, the information must become public for the whole world to remain synchronized in human advancement. The publication houses, the conferences and the journal
stores are charged with distribution of knowledge. The fourth player is the rest of us. We all — universities, government agencies and private industry and individuals — seek knowledge. The problem lies with the middlemen and their ability to charge for this knowledge. Libraries and individual institutions that require these documents pay an exorbitant amount of money to get to this knowledge. These are freakishly huge amounts of money — so huge that N.C. State Libraries charges you, the students, fees to make up for the money paid to these middlemen. Before the computer age, a scholar did original research, wrote a book or a paper and gave his or her script to the publication house. This was because, naturally, the researcher was not able to print and distribute thousands of books. But now, with easy distribution of PDF documents, a physical article or paper is not the only method of circulation. But online journal databases like JSTOR and Safari, as well as institutions like the Association for Computing Machinery and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, insist on having the final copyright to the research — preserving their right to charge. The right to distribute is generally shared between the author and the institutions. Consider the current
revision policy of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Since January 2011, authors have been allowed to distribute “prepublication” versions of their articles. The right to the final published material lies with the institute. So, why does the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers maintain this hoarding attitude? One way to look at these entities — the way I adopt — is that operating systems perform the role of computers. They a re s up posed to maintain the documents and their distribution. They want to act like schedulers of users. People requiring access must approach these entities as a central repository. For soft copies of articles, papers and journals, they could charge a minimal fee — enough to compensate for their maintenance, not for ownership. Here’s a curious point to ponder. Consider a college dropout. He needs to read a paper that his own father, a renowned scholar, wrote. Legally, he must go to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers to gain access to that document (in its published format) and not

ask his own father for it at the dinner table. There are people who realize this and work toward a better model of distribution. The USENIX association is a community of engineers, scientists and other technology minds who follow an open policy toward the papers that get published in their conferences. The authors agree to free and unrestricted public access to their published material. USENIX has risen to be the top notch conference for computer science research. The people who paid for the research and the researchers themselves must have the full rights of ownership and not the distributors. For an entity that simply maintains an online database of literature, online journal stores and databases, it charges an unaccountable sum of money. What I outlined above was the ecosystem of digital knowledge for research. “Digital rights” is a broader term addressing various issues ranging from infringement of copyrights to closed behavior of application stores like Apple’s App Store. The Internet as an alternate model of distribution has been a game changer.

Balancing acts: music and school
Local metalcore band idealist at their show at Berkeley Cafe in downtown Raleigh on Jan. 18.
Taylor Quinn Staff Writer
D av id W i l l i a m s a nd McLean Lucas said they have dreamed of “making it big” in the music industry since the eighth grade. Football brought the two freshmen in First Year College together, and their love for music bonded them. With time and hard work, the two worked to bring a group of five members together to play a type of metalcore music some have compared to the early sound of the popular band Underøath. The five guys that make up the band idealist: vocalist Nick Surrett, guitarists and vocalists Lucas and Joseph Couillard, drummer Josh Gardner, and bassist Williams. The band allows Williams and Lucas to keep hold of their music aspirations. “I force myself to get all of
my schoolwork done by Friday so that I can focus on the band all weekend,” Williams said. Lucas said that he has been interested in pursuing music since a young age. “I listened to so much music for so long,” Lucas said. “Bands like Nirvana and Sunny Day [Real Estate] really drew me in and I wanted to pick up a guitar, so I begged my parents and finally got one.” Williams said that he became interested in music in a similar way. “If I didn’t have that outlet, I would go insane,” Williams said.

Showcasing ‘Cackalacky’ in a glass Will E. Brooks Deputy News Editor
ACC basketball, sweet tea and vinegar-based barbecue leave North Carolinians with little in common. Sean Wilson, however, thinks he may have found some more common ground, and he’ll bet you a drink on that. Wilson, founder and director of Fullsteam Brewery in Durham, released Cackalacky Ginger Pale Ale Sunday in collaboration with Cackalacky Inc., a family-run food brand from Chapel Hill, after more than a year of planning and brewing. Beyond t he branding, Wilson said that Cackalacky

Wilson, a route. Instead, Cackalacky Duke graduate, said he hopes and Fullsteam collaborated

on a ginger ale style beer. Page Skelton, a collaborator from Cackalacky, sought to expand from Cackalacky’s famous sweet potato-based Spice Sauce, and Wilson saw this as an opporunity to expand his offerings from his sweet potato-based lager. Inspired by Blenheim’s Ginger Ale of South Carolina, Wilson said his beer, an alcoholic version of the childhood classic, is meant to incorporate ginger alongside locally cultivated ingredients. “Their ginger ale was kind of historic, so it was kind of a nod to [our] Southern roots,” Wilson said. “We use tons of local ingredients in our brewing process, anything from cornbread to six-row barley to rye to sweet potatoes. The list goes on and on.” Fullsteam’s new brew isn’t special because it incorporates classical ingredients, but because it makes a new statement about the South. “Our whole mission is to explore what it means to be a Southern brewery,” Wilson said. Skelton’s collaboration was crucial in the cultivation of the ale, but it took time and thinking on both parts. “We both have creative minds, so we both worked on this launch together. [Cackalacky] gave us a lot of creative reign to run with it.” As for the release, it was meant to play to the same light-hearted tune ginger ale brings to mind. On the eve of “Kazoo Day,” a arbitrary holiday, Wilson simply wanted a fun, silly gathering. “There’s no particular reason [why we chose Kazoo Day] but it just fits,” Wilson said. “It’s kind of light-

hearted and silly and fun, and that’s what we want our beer to be about.” Wilson said he plans on brewing the beer year-round and expects to expand beyond North Carolina and introduce the new beer in cans. Wilson will first only offer the beer at the Fullsteam Brewery in Durham, but many of his brews have travelled around the state. Wilson expects Cackalacky Ginger Pale Ale to do the same, pending recipe changes “We want to tweak it a little bit, and we are also waiting
on a big expansion so we can adequately meet the demand we think is going to be out there,” Wilson said. After three years of brewing, Fullsteam now serves six to 10 beers at any given time in several cities. Wilson said that he plans to stay a Southern brewery, regardless of how far Fullsteam expands beyond North Cackalacky. Wilson’s beers can be found on tap at Porter’s City Tavern, and in growlers at Whole Foods Grocery.

nation. The next court-storming that was puzzling to me was when Maryland students expressed their elation after defeating N.C. State on a tip-in rebound by Alex Len. Again, it’s a win you should celebrate, but it wasn’t that great. The ACC is one of the deepest conferences in the country; anyone can lose on any given night (just ask Duke).

all of the passion and intensity, it’s about the most you can do without actually being out there on or in the court, field or pool to be a part of the game-day experience.” Once Smith graduates and
ciated Press’ top-25 poll — definitely not court-storming worthy. Those are only t wo examples of unnecessary expressions of jubilation in a pool of many from this season a lone. So, w it h t his unnecessary court storming running rampant in college basketball, let’s establish some rules for when court storming is appropriate. First, if your home team
beats the No. 1 AP top-25 team in the nation at home and the home team is ranked worse than No. 10 in the nation, then it’s definitely OK to take to the court, no question about it. I know it will become stale with the current pattern of No. 1 teams falling like flies, but it’s still justified. Also, if your home team beats a team that is currently undefeated in college basket-
ball after 15 or more games, then the fans can legitimately storm the court. Those are the only two occasions for rushing the court. It’s becoming more wary on the college basketball fan base to the point where it’s no longer a sacred tradition. With that, I do commend the N.C. State student section for not storming the court after beating Carolina despite many expecting it to do so. Let’s do everyone a favor and keep the tradition cherished.
becomes a member of the Wolfpack Club, he plans on toning down his level of cheering so he can take in more of the games. Fellow Hype Team member Rackl also stands out in the crowd. The aerospace engineering major and Carthage native is currently doing a co-op with US Airways in Charlotte. However, his co-
op hasn’t kept him away from the PNC Arena. He has traveled back to Raleigh for every home game this season. “I try to find any excuse I can to come back up to Raleigh,” Rackl said. “I love this school as much as I do its sports, and I’ve never felt more at home than I do at State.” His dedication to the Pack
is clear. You can find him on the sidelines at any game jumping and screaming in his red Pack Pride jacket. “I love my school and I do my best to show my support,” Rackl said. “That’s what I think being a State fan and student is all about.”

ing into singles. Singles did not prove to be any better for the Pack, dropping three straight matches to ranked opponents at the 1, 2 and 3 spots in the lineup. The Rebels made quick work of the Wolfpack. Powell faced off �against No. 33 Nik Scholtz, losing 6-2, 6-3. Thomson took on a top-five opponent in Jonas Lutjen, falling 6-1, 6-2. Mudge closed out the match for the Pack, as 95th-ranked William Kallberg topped him. The Pack’s singles lineup features two freshmen, two sophomores and a junior who has not been a regular in the singles lineup before — a fairly young top-six. Despite the loss, Choboy has been satisfied with their performance so far on a playing field that they are
all still adjusting to. “It’s nice to see our guys buck le dow n,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of young first and second year players in the lineup, so it’s new to a lot of these guys. We’re pretty proud of them for being able to do that.” Choboy seems very optimistic about the team’s future and believes that the team can compete with the upper echelon of teams in the nation, such as Ole Miss. “Mississippi is top-15 in the country and that is what we’re building this program to be,” Choboy said. “I think this match was a little bit of an awakening for our guys to understand what they need to do to be put in that company. Our objective is to be one of the best teams in the country.” N.C. State will return home and prepare for its next match against Northwestern on Friday, Feb. 1 at 4:30 p.m. in the J.W.

COMMENTARY
Tradition no longer sacred Jeniece Jamison Sports Editor
I
went to a high school basketball game last night between the Wake Forest-Rolesville Cougars and the Heritage Huskies. At the conclusion of the game, the Wake Forest-Rolesville student section took part in a tradition that was typically regarded as a solely collegiate athletics related: They stormed the court. That was the first time I’ve ever seen a storming of the court at a high school game. After speaking with the Cougars’ head coach, he explained the recent history of the rivalry between the schools and why it means so much to them. After witnessing that event and talking to the coach, it supplanted my attitude towards the storming the court. It’s a playedout gesture that is sadly no longer used sparingly. The fact that it’s even gotten down to the high school level is mind-boggling. Even the coach said the students are just trying to be like the students at N.C. State and North Carolina. Two of the most unnecessary court-storming events happened this season. Following LaSalle’s one-point win against Butler, the students took to the court to celebrate.
