SGA plans vote to join fight against Hofmann sale IN THE FACE OF CONFUSION AND CONFLICTING INFORMATION, SOME MEMBERS OF STUDENT GOVERNMENT ARE PREPARING TO FIGHT THE SALE OF THE HOFMANN FOREST

Staff Report

Several representatives in Student Government are joining the fight against the sale of Hofmann Forest. SGA will vote on a resolution Wednesday requesting that the administration abandon the sale of the Forest. Alex Grindstaff, a senior in biological sciences, is sponsoring the resolution and said he wants to address the administration’s lack of transparency during the sale.

“The University went ahead to sell the forest without asking anyone,” Grindstaff said. “As a public institution, this isn’t how we should conduct business.” Grindstaff said he only learned about the details of the sale two weeks ago, largely due to the lack of communication from university officials. “I felt like I found out about it too late,” Grindstaff said. “This is similar to what I’ve heard from several College of

“I just think the whole way the University handled it is a disaster,” Teder said. “It doesn’t make us look good.

between N.C. State and Hofmann Forest LLC. Last week, it was revealed the buyer circulated a prospectus that proposed clearing a large portion of the forest for development and farmland. Brad Bohlander, associate vice chancellor for University Communications and chief communications officer at N.C. State, said in a statement on Wednesday that it had not previously seen the

Education Week at NCSU starts with teacher-appreciation events Katherine Kehoe Staff Writer

Education Week at N.C. State, which seeks to start conversations about education among students as well as to show support for the education system and those working to improve, began Monday. To celebrate, faculty members and staff from the College of Education ate brown-bag lunches while dis-

cussing a common reading book, and the Education Council wrote thank-you letters to future student teachers.. “It’s nice to have an opportunity to have focused conversations and celebrations that support and elevate education as a focus,” said Jayne Fleener, dean of the College of Education. “It’s important to remind people that education is a fundamental social structure for our society.”

American Education Week, which was first observed in 1921, began as a call from the National Education Association for an increased spotlight on education. The goal of the annual event is to inform communities nationwide about the needs and accomplishments of public schools in their areas. American Education Week is always celebrated the week before Thanksgiving.

Raleigh made a big step toward becoming more bike friendly this month. The city council passed an ordinance, making it illegal for drivers to open their doors without looking behind them for cyclists. This ordinance, effective as of Nov. 5, helps prevent “dooring” accidents, which occur when a cyclist crashes into a driver’s open door on streets that allow parallel parking, such as Hillsborough Street. Jennifer Baldwin, the bicycle and pedestrian coordinator for the city’s Office of Transportation Planning, said this law is part of several changes to cycling-related laws in Raleigh. “We were tasked with updating the city code for all things cycle related,” Baldwin said. “We reviewed all bike references and made updates to make sure that nothing contradicts and that all definitions are the same.” City Council also made it illegal to park in bike lanes, with the exception of certain areas in downtown. Baldwin said the “dooring” law is mostly to clarify responsibility. “‘Dooring’ won’t necessarily be an enforced ordinance,” Baldwin said. “It’s for legality purposes. Previously, if a driver opened a door

Humanities interest wavers among NCSU students Estefania Castro-Vazquez Correspondent

The number of applicants in liberal arts programs is f luctuating at N.C. State, while the number of people enrolling in liberal arts is decreasing at universities across the nation. A recent article in The New York Times reported that the number of people majoring in humanities has declined steadily since the end of the 20th century. However, Jeff Braden, dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, said he isn’t concerned about the decrease interest because CHASS has experienced steady and continued interest in the past few years. Undergraduate enrollment in CHASS peaked in the fall of 2010. It has since declined each year from 4,311 in 2010 to 3,586 in 2013. Dara Leeder, the director of

Student Recruitment and Retention for CHASS, said the decreasing numbers of recent years are partially due to the University’s cap on enrollment. The number of faculty members, advisors and classrooms have to be taken into consideration when deciding how many applicants can be admitted, Leeder said. “CHASS has been seeking to increase its number of graduate students,” Leeder said. “At this time, a rise in graduate students necessitates a slight decrease in the number of undergraduates so that the overall college enrollment stays stable.” However, graduate school enrollment numbers don’t look much different from undergraduate numbers. In fall 2010, 929 graduate students enrolled. That number has declined each year to 815 in 2013. The number of people ap-

plying to CHASS follows a similar trajectory to that of enrollment. In fall of 2010, 3,348 freshman applied to CHASS, which is the largest number of applicants in the past 10 years. That number has declined each year until 2012, when 3,074 freshmen applied. In 2013, 3,277 applied. In contrast to applicant and enrollment numbers, selectivity has increased each year, according to Leeder. Selectivity is determined by dividing the number of admissions by the number of applicants. In 2010, 42.7 percent of students were admitted. In 2013, The University admitted 35.5 percent of applicants. Leeder said there has been an increase in applicants’ standardized test scores, GPA, high school class rank, extracurricular activities, leadership activities and volunteer activities.

For over 40 years the Caldwell Fellows program has impacted the NC State and global community by investing in students who accept the challenge to develop themselves for lives of creative leadership for social change. Deadline to apply is January 15. To learn more visit www.ncsu.edu/caldwell

CHASS also receives the largest number of internal transfer students, Leeder said. About 30 percent of First Year College students transfer into CHASS each year. CHASS currently graduates the most baccalaureate students at the University, according to Leeder. “You need to look not only at where students begin their college careers but where they end up to see the full picture,” Leeder said. Braden said students’ interests are changing. Traditional humanities degrees, such as English, philosophy and religious studies, may be attracting fewer students, but there is greater interest in others, including international and ethnic studies, according to Braden. Some CHASS students have expressed fears that their ma-

and caused an accident, there was no penalty put on the driver. Now, it’s clearly written that if a driver causes an accident, an officer can penalize that driver.” Baldwin said she’s not sure if other cities in North Carolina have implemented similar ordinances. However, she and her department used language from a city law in Portland, Ore. “This law doesn’t just protect cyclists,” Baldwin said. “We are just writing down what should be obvious. Another car could also hit a car door.” Mike Williams, assistant director of the public affairs department in Raleigh, said City Council members feel very strongly about safety issues affecting bicyclists and pedestrians. Williams said several other initiatives were also launched that he feels will make Raleigh safer, such as “Lighten up Raleigh,” a campaign which seeks to encourage cyclists to use lights when riding after dark. “We’ve partnered with all local bike shops,” Baldwin said. “From now through the end of the year, anyone can get 15 percent of bike lights.” Last month, Ivin Scurlock and Alexandra Simou, both residents

This will be the most intentional voice of students to the administration.” Teder said he thinks the resolution will pass Wednesday. “The only thing that will hold it from passing is that it’s fast-tracked, due to the timeliness of the bill,” Teder said. “But most senators I’ve talked to support the sentiment of the bill.” Teder said he has spoken

N.C. State has the largest international student population in the state, according to recent data. About 4,000 foreign students attend N.C. State, according to an annual census by the nonprofit Institute of International Education. Second to N.C. State is Duke University and its medical center, followed by the University of North Carolina campuses in Chapel Hill, Charlotte and Greensboro. North Carolina’s colleges and universities saw an increase of nearly 9 percent in the number of international students during the last academic year, according to the IIE. The nonprofit worked with the State Department to survey both public and private colleges and universities across the United States. Currently, about 29 percent of the students pursuing a masters or doctoral degree at N.C. State are international students. Though this number seems high, the number of applicants and enrollees has only increased by 4 percent in the last two years and the ratio of international graduate students has stayed about the same in comparison to U.S. citizens during the course of five years, according to Richard Liston, assistant

dean of the graduate school. There is no specific limit to the number of international students N.C. State accepts but similar limitations to those seen in the case of U.S. citizens, such as program capacity, apply to the number of international students accepted, Liston said. Katherine Kirkeby Thomsen, a graduate exchange student from Denmark pursuing her MBA, said she heard a lot of good things about the school and was particularity attracted to the opportunity of living at the University. Shravan Gadeppanavar, who is pursuing his masters in computer networks, said he chose to come to N.C. State from India because of the curriculum and the computer network classes. Although receiving his degree will only take two years, Gadeppanavar said he plans to stay in the U.S. after graduation and work with NetApp, a company working on storage solutions. About 40 percent of international N.C. State graduates choose to stay in the U.S., according to Liston. Liston said that this isn’t that different from out-of-state students. “If you look at the data on other students that are not from North Carolina that graduate from State with a graduate degree, about the same percentage of those stay here as well.” Liston said. “So

it is unfair to report that the number of internationals staying is disproportionate. The reason they stay is because they’re highly valuable to the economy of North Carolina. I think N.C. State graduate students are in demand in general.” Thomsen said that although she is returning to Denmark to graduate, she hopes to return and work in the U.S. when her visa allows her to do so. According to The Republic, about 4 percent of 21 million students enrolled in highereducation institutes come from abroad. Of these international students, two-thirds are paying the education costs out-of-pocket, making higher education one of the U.S.’s top service sector exports. However, neither Thomsen nor Gadeppanavar are paying tuition completely unaided. Thomsen said her home university is paying for her schooling at N.C. State while she pays for her living costs, and Gadeppanavar said he received an education loan but is also paying some of the cost personally. According to Liston, students who are academically competitive may qualify to work on sponsored scientific research as part of the academic requirements of their degrees and, in such cases, the cost of attending N.C.

State is covered by these research funds. The Huffington Post reported that China, India and South Korea were the three major countries of origin of international students studying in the U.S. Of international graduate students studying at N.C. State, about 70 percent came from India or China. The Republic of Korea, Turkey and Iran represent about 3 - 4 percent of international graduate students each, according to Liston. In total, N.C. State hosted 2,959 international students, or 8.6 percent of the entire student population, in 2012. Of these, only 537 were undergraduate students making the remaining 2,422 graduate students, according to N.C. State’s fall 2012 enrollment report. The greatest number of international graduate students are enrolled in electrical engineering, computer engineering and computer science, according to Liston. Though an increasing number of international students may be criticized by some, Liston said that there is not an effort to either increase or decrease the number of international students studying at N.C. State. “It’s a function of supply and demand,” Liston said.

Lemmons, who switched out of her original creative writing concentration because it “felt fluffy,” said she worries only because other people make her feel worried but she said she thinks it will be alright. Jordan Sturgis, a junior in political science, said she fears not being able to find a job in the current job market. “I don’t think I want to go into law school,” Sturgis said. “I think I want to get my masters and eventually my Ph.D. and do research and teach at the university level.” Despite student fears, Leeder said she believes the job market actually favors students with CHASS degrees because they can adapt to the changing job market and are flexible. “CHASS students have less of a clear path to a career, but I think it’s always been that way,” Leeder said. Braden said liberal arts degrees are effective for the economy because they allow students “to develop, to create, to adapt and to change as the economy changes.” “Most liberal arts students go out and get jobs because they speak well, they write well, they think critically, they work well with other people,” Braden said.

“The goal is to get the word out about things that public schools are doing really well and things that we need to change and asking people for their support in that,” said Jordan Miller, a senior in mathematics education. At N.C. State, students within the College of Education are using this week as an opportunity to show the University what goes on in Poe Hall and to help others understand just how much people are affected by education. According to Miller, Education Week at N.C. State is necessary partially due to the fact that so many people are turning away from teach-

ing due to the recent spotlight on declining teachers’ salaries. Miller said that understanding the current state of the education system is especially important to anyone considering having kids in the future. “I think that education gets chipped a little bit, for lack of a better word,” Miller said. “For me it’s really important to make people aware that, even if you don’t want to be a teacher, the education system is going to affect you eventually.” Miller works with several education organizations on campus and said she is excited about the variety of events this year in honor of the national celebration. Miller said she is looking forward to handing out apple slices with caramel on the Brickyard while teaching students about the College of Education and American Education

week in general. This will happen on Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. “Giving things out and being in public isn’t something that the College of Education usually does,” Miller said. “We don’t usually expand, so I am really excited to see how that goes and see how receptive other students are to what we are trying to do.” Besides the apples on the Brickyard, plenty of events will be taking place this week at N.C. State as students in every college come together to discuss education. “One of the anchor activities is The Friday Medal award,” Fleener said. “It is a national award…given to individuals who have made a significant impact in education through their service, research or teaching.” The award, named in honor of Bill and Ida Friday, will be presented on

Other events taking place this week include a Taco Lunch fundraiser sponsored by the Association of African-American Student Educators on Tuesday, a panel titled “Senior Series: Hear it First-Hand” comprised of educators and administrators who will be discussing the job market on Wednesday and a “Fill the Jug” coin drive sponsored by the Elementary Education Organization on Thursday and Friday. “I always look forward to going to events with students and being with the students and interacting with them,” Fleener said.

Digital textbooks, or ebooks, could become popular in classrooms at N.C. State. Currently, students may choose between buying an e-book or the hard copy version of a textbook. Mike Nowlin, the textbook manager at the N.C. State bookstores, said that because publishers are beginning to lean away from the sale of regular textbooks, the use of e-books could become much more common. “As the publishers push the idea of e-books more and more I think that possibly within three to five years it will become quite pervasive,” Nowlin said. Will Cross, the director of copyright and digital scholarship center, said that the popularity of e-books is a response to the fact that regular textbooks are extremely expensive, which makes it difficult for many people to obtain a college education. “I think that e-books, open textbooks and alternate types of course readings are a great solution to the problem of textbooks increasing in costs every year and making it harder for students to get through school,” Cross said. According to Cross, in 2010 N.C. State started a project to create an open physics textbook to serve about 1,300 students who take Physics 211 and 212, the book is offered free online but can be printed for $40. “The libraries spent about $1,500 to acquire the site license for the textbook and now each student is saving $300 to $400 a year, so you’re looking at tens of thousands of dollars of savings for students,” Cross said.

iPads are a common delivery method of e-textbooks. The N.C. State Library is looking into providing free e-textbooks for students.

Cross said that due to the success with the Department of Physics, the libraries are searching for a new department, such as chemistry or biology, where they can implement this program. Cat herine Warren, an English professor, said that although she cannot use ebooks in the types of courses she teaches, she does support the idea of online textbooks. “I do support the idea of ebooks because they do bring down the cost of textbooks for a student, which is an increasing problem,” Warren said. Danny Ibrahim, a senior in biology, said that he does support the use of e-books because students save money. “An e-book keeps you or-

ganized as well because all the information you need is in one place, you don’t have to carry a large book around and once you’re done with the course it saves you the hassle of trying to find somebody to sell your textbook to,” Ibrahim said. Still, Nowlin said that, currently, there is not a great demand from students for the purchase of e-books. “The licensing agreements for e-books usually last for only six to eight months and because of the price it isn’t being viewed as economically feasible compared to buying a used textbook, which is less than what an e-book costs,” Nowlin said.

The Hofmann Forest fiasco: Administration, make this right

gainst the wishes of many students, faculty members, alumni and conservationists, N.C. State has signed a contract agreeing to sell the Hofmann Forest, and it did so deceitfully. As the Technician reported on Oct. 30, the College of Natural Resources sold the 79,000-acre Hofmann Forest to the Hofmann Forest LLC for $150 million. Mary Watzin, Dean of the CNR, said the sale “protects the land going forward,” but also said, “[Hofmann Forest LLC’s] plans for the acreage in the future are not something we’ve gone into detail.” The company may sell easements to the Department of Defense or use the land for agricultural purposes, according to Watzin. However, recently leaked documents revealed that Hofmann Forest LLC plans to develop 9,000 acres of the forest for homes and office buildings, which contradicts statements made by Watzin and Chancellor Randy Woodson, who said the land would be preserved. On Monday, Brad Bohlander, associate vice chancellor for University Communications and chief communications officer at N.C. State, said this was the first the University had heard about the possibility of developing the land.

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. But Tom Percival, spokesman for the Hofmann Forest LLC said otherwise. Percival confirmed that “there are ‘no plans to develop the property into a large commercial and residential community,’” saying the development plans leaked Wednesday were made by N.C. State as part of an “exploratory study” in 2009. “Apparently NCSU made those drawings [development plan renderings] in 2009, and clearly they gave them to Walker Group/ Hofmann LLC,” Ron Sutherland, a conservationist for the Wildlands Network, said in an email. “So they were lying their pants off when they said this was the first they had seen of the prospectus document. They wrote at least part of it and gave it to at least one potential buyer when promoting the sale.” The editorial board of the Technician agrees with Sutherland’s sentiment. As most of the reporters who have covered the sale have noticed, there seems to be something fishy about this deal, and we have a hard time believing that the administration could’ve been so deceived by a company it has been doing business with for at least 11 months. Our sus-

picions have been furthered by the fact that we hand delivered a FOIA request more than two weeks ago to Charles Leffler, vice chancellor for finance and business, requesting information about all bids and related documents related to the sale. Since then, neither Leffler nor anybody from his office has even acknowledged our request. To us, this doesn’t at all seem like the behavior of an administration that is honest and has nothing to hide. For these reasons, we were thrilled to hear that Student Government, the organization charged with the task of representing the voice of the students, is drafting legislation to stop the sale. “I, personally, as a senator, am not completely opposed outright to the sale of the forest,” said Josh Teder, a student senator. “I’m just unhappy with the handling of the situation.” Teder described the University’s handling of the sale as “a disaster.” Though we at the Technician oppose the sale both out of principle and desire to protect the land, we too feel as though we have been lied to.

Student Government will vote on a resolution Wednesday requesting that the University abandon the sale. “The University went ahead to sell the forest without asking anyone,” said Alex Grindstaff, a senior in biological sciences who is sponsoring the resolution. “As a public institution, this isn’t how we should conduct business.” The University should care that alumni, faculty members, and now members of the organization that represents the voice of the enitre student body have spoken out against the sale. “The state has not been funding the university as it has in the past, and if we want to continue to recruit and retain the best students and faculty, it is our responsibility to work as hard as necessary,” Woodson said. But the University is not “[working] as hard as necessary” if it is selling its biggest asset without considering its students, alumni and faculty. The Technician editorial board joins Student Government, CNR faculty protestors and conservationists in saying that our University should not sell the Hofmann Forest. You can join us by attending the protest on the Brickyard today at 1:15 p.m.

{ LETTER TO THE EDITOR }

Letter to the editor in response to ‘How to argue against evolutionists’

vented the theory of natural selection acting upon innovations. The old paradigm for innovations was random mutations. According to James Shapiro of the University of Chicago, the new paradigm is “natural genetic engineering.” Be that as it may, not enough is understood about the innovations natural selection acts upon to understand how mammals evolved so rapidly from bacteria. Evolutionary biologists always speak of “adaptive evolution.” An old model for evolution was a tornado hitting a junkyard and producing a Boeing 747 in flight. The new model is a computer generating an English sonnet by the random selection of letters. The only theory that even attempts to explain evolution is the theory of intelligent design (ID). Advocates of ID compare this theory with natural selection to make ID look more rational than it is. ID is an irrational theory be-

cause there is no evidence for it. Atheists go along with this scam because they don’t want to admit that ID is a better theory than natural selection, in some sense. Evolution is connected to religion, and religion causes conf lict between people. Conf lict produces anxiety, and inhibition is a defense mechanism for anxiety. When it comes to evolution, people are inhibited from thinking rationally and intelligently and behaving properly. Another biologist from the University of Chicago, Jerry Coyne, is so obsessed with his hatred of creationism and the theory of intelligent design, that he saw fit to lambast Nicky Vaught on his widely read blog, “Why Evolution Is True.” Jerry Coyne will never admit publicly that natural selection explains only adaptation.

Biological evolution includes adaptation and common descent. The adaptation of species to the environment is an observation. Common descent is the theory that microscopic organisms evolved into whales in period of about 100 million decades. I use decades rather than years because it take 20 years for a single fertilized human egg to produce all of the cells in the human body. People who contradict creationists by insisting evolution is a fact tend to think it is a fact that free will is an illusion. One theory answers the question: Where do fossils come from? The other theory answers the question: What is the relationship between myself and my body? Fact or theory, evolution gives rise to the question of what caused it. Biologists in-

Technology will lower standards

lthough it may be difficult to notice because it’s happening now, the ubiquity of smartphones and other related technologies are very seriously changing the fabric of social relations; particularly, for better or worse, many Tim Gorski intimate Deputy parts of our Viewpoint Editor lives have a strong likelihood of becoming akin to public record. I’m no Nostradamus, but I think it is overwhelmingly apparent that this will have wide-ranging implications for the standards of electability of our public officials. There has been a lot of talk in the media about government organizations and corporations flagrantly violating privacy rights under the veil of security or marketing. The realization that the National Security Agency can get access to everything on your smartphone, or that Google probably knows more about you than you would ever admit to your closest friends and utilizes that information for advertisements, is often portrayed as an acutely unnerving truth. However, isn’t it fair to be somewhat speculative of these concerns? What is the endgame of these organizations? At the end of the day, the NSA is in the business of combating terrorism and

Google is in the business of making money. Neither of these organizations have much to gain by exploring confidential information about your everyday person. There is, however, a person or group of people that very well may pose a serious risk to your privacy — you and your friends. Our current politicians never had the luxury of Snapchat or Facebook when they were our age, and maybe that was a good thing for them. Computer security expert Richard Hickman told The Guardian that Snapchats never really disappear; rather, they are saved on smartphones in the form of metadata. Think about all of the ridiculous faces and captions you have made on Snapchat. Everyone is doing it; who’s to say that the future president of our generation isn’t making one right now? If he or she is, there will be a lot of explaining to do should the recipient of these messages reveal them to the public. Imagine your most outof-context funny or crazy Snapchat. How comfortable would you be defending or explaining that picture under the scrutiny of the media and the international community? We can see the making of these new problems in scandals such as the Anthony Weiner case. How much would you bet that this won’t

be the last one? How do you think today’s public would react to a 12- or 13-year-old Barack Obama making a Facebook status as obscene as half the jokes people our age see on regular television shows such as Family Guy? Furthermore, what shred of privacy will people have left when technologies such as Google Glass are commonplace? In that world, you had better watch every single word you say, lest someone record you by simply blinking twice. And it doesn’t stop there; there are numerous examples of ever-encroaching pervasive surveillance in other countries. In Russia, there are millions of dash cameras to prevent insurance fraud. In the United States, the paparazzi have spied on celebrities with drones. And in the United Kingdom, there are an estimated 4.2 million closed-circuit surveillance cameras on city streets, many equipped with facial recognition technology. Provisions such as these, coupled with the commonality of social media and smartphones, paint a picture of a society, which has an unprecedented and comprehensive profile of your everyday person. This really can only mean that the standards for our elected officials will be significantly lowered.

Howling Cow: from pasture to cone Kaitlin Montgomery Staff Writer

Gracing the face of cones, cups and cartons, N.C. State’s Howling Cow products go through an intense process to turn milk into breakfast staples and after-dinner delights. Gary Cartwright, director of the Dairy Enterprise System, said it’s difficult to get consumers to understand that Howling Cow has much more to offer than just ice cream. “We have people who have been working on campus for 30 years and they walk in here and never knew there was anything like this on campus,” Cartwright said. Located in Schaub Hall, the Howling Cow processing plant buzzes throughout the week with students, professors and other employees each playing a necessary role in the pasteurization and production of Howling Cow products. Tuesday, Friday and sometimes Thursday mornings, the plant produces fluid milk, while Wednesdays are set aside for ice cream. Tanker trucks pull into the plant at 2 a.m. every day, bringing milk from N.C. State’s dairy farm on Lake Wheeler. “We start off early,” Cartwright said. “It’s about as local as it gets.” Pumped in directly from the tanker trucks, the milk goes through a machine that separates the milk into types such as skim and whole. Each type of milk is still raw at the point of pumping and requires pasteurization to eliminate the pathogenic bacteria that might be in it. “It goes from the pumping system and is completely on the raw side of pasteurization,” Cartwright said. “This way if there is any bacteria the sugar and its ingredients [for chocolate milk] are pasteurized right along with the milk.” Cartwright said that the half pints produced at the plant are shipped

to state institutions such as mental health hospitals and prisons. The bags and boxes of chocolate, 1 percent, skim and whole milk are shipped to the various dining halls across campus. According to Cartwright, the plant is relatively modern, but many of the machines are slated for renovation. “A lot of things are going to be rearranged in here with more things being upto-date,” Cartwright said. “With new machinery we can do things like Howling Cow yogurt, which we can’t do now. With the new tanks we get, we can have the capability to do things like that — things that the dining hall would like us to have.” Updated machinery would allow the plant to take Howling Cow ice cream to a premium level. With an 80 percent overrun — one gallon of milk makes 1.84 gallons of ice cream — the plant runs a very high quality of 14 percent butterfat. “The higher percent of butterfat, the better character the flavor is,” Cartwright said. “Two reasons why you have high-quality ice cream: one is keeping the ice as small as possible and the other is injecting air into it.” According to Cartwright, the production process is very hands-on, so the plant relies on heavy student involvement. “[Students] help us a lot, all the while getting some practical experience while they’re here,” Cartwright said. “We’re very pleased with how things work even if it is a very unusual operation.” The Dairy Enterprise System is a revenue generating operation, which means it uses profits to pay all bills, salaries and retirements without any assistance from taxpayers. “We’ve created jobs in North Carolina by being

here,” Cartwright said. “It is an industrial operation with no draw off of state taxes, yet it adds capability to food science and provides Howling Cow milk and ice cream to campus.” With new projects on the horizon, Cartwright said the enterprise system is starting to all fall under one umbrella. “We’re trying to communicate and open some portals to the public, not just about Howling Cow but education on food systems, local foods and food quality,” Cartwright said. “All these components we provide essentially demonstrate that anybody with any interest all along the way can plug in. We also see it as an outlet for education not just for the students at N.C. State, but also for the population in general.” Cartwright said the process of building an educational museum out at the farm on Lake Wheeler is already in the works. The museum will be established in a two-room building with one side exhibiting Howling Cow history and the other showcasing interactive displays for children. Cartwright said the museum will be a way for the public to see the interworking of a dairy farm. “It’s the f lagship for the other things we hope to create out there on the farm,” Cartwright said. “The final capstone piece we’re planning to build right here by Schaub.” Straddling the crossover of the parking lot in between Schaub Hall and Resident West parking, the Dairy Enterprise System plans to build a two-story building that will house an ice cream bar, a training center and faculty offices. “There’s no real destination for students living over in Wolf Village or those who live [in Sullivan and Lee Residence Halls] here,” Cartwright said. “They have to go to Central Campus because a l l t hey have other here are a few C-Stores and Fountain Dining Hall. This is going to be, we think, a more interactive destination for kids over on this side of campus.” Accord i ng to Ca r t-

wright, the Dairy Enterprise System will raise ha lf of t he amount necessary to start building the project and are one donor away from getting started. “We expect that people from outside the University will come to get ice cream,” Cartwright said. “Now we’ve got a new population we can test new products on. We have a way to integrate all the different areas that are supposed to be here. Everything fits together in some culminating center.” Cartwright said that if plans stay on schedule, the project would begin construction in late 2013 or early to mid 2014. “People are excited about what we’re doing and we are too,” Cartwright said. “Every time we turn a corner there’s something new for us to consider. It’s so much more than just ice cream.”

‘The Game’s Afoot’ thrills with chills Taylor Quinn Staff Writer

N.C. State’s University Theatre program has always had a good reputation, but the troupe’s current production of Ken Ludwigs’s The Game’s Afoot exceeded any expectations that I previously held. Directed by theatre veteran John C. Mcllwee, the show was a hit and a half. Before the show even started, the set amazed the audience. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought that I was actually inside a quirky, 1936-style, rich man’s mansion. The set was flawless. Everything was extremely realistic, from the decorations on the mantel to the stained-wood color of the elegant staircase, only

adding to the magic of the play. When the show actually began, the amazement didn’t cease, and when it ended, the standing ovation solidified the audience’s reaction toward the show. When the characters entered the stage, I couldn’t help but notice how accurate their costumes were. They were elegant and really channeled the 1930s time period in which the play was set. All of the costumes reflected the characters perfectly and really helped their characterization. Ludwig’s plot was great. It had an authentic, oldtime feel and was set on Christmas Eve of

1936. William Gillette, played by Christian O’Neal, has just retired from a 20-year run as Sherlock Holmes on New York City’s Broadway. After the show’s final performance, Gillette invites his show friends over for a dinner party and things quickly take a murderous turn when an unknown assailant stabs one of his guests. It is then up to Gillette to uncover the mystery, channeling his beloved character, Sherlock Holmes. The Game’s Afoot is not just a murder mystery, but it is also a comedy. It had ever y thing an audience member could ever want — humor, suspense and a good amount of “guilty pleasure” romantic drama. Not only was the plot line hysterically funny and ironically cliché, it grabbed the audience tig ht a nd d id not seem to let go until the actors took their bows during the final curtain call. The story complimented the actor’s abilities perfectly, and all except two actors played over-dramaticactor characters, which worked refreshingly well and

The cast of Ken Ludwig’s “The Game’s Afoot,” performed last weekend as part of University Theatre’s 2013-2014 season. The play tells the story of William Gillette, an actor known for portraying Sherlock Holmes on Broadway, as he solves a mysterious murder.

was extremely entertaining. The other two actors played lovable characters — Martha Gillette, played by Diana Quetti, and the Inspector, played by Allison McAlister, a naive elderly woman and a clueless detective, respectively. Though the characters were cliché, they were easily believable and wildly funny. More often than not, the actors had to hold their next line so the audience’s laughter did not overpower what they were going to say next. One standout character for me was Daria Chase, played by Morgan Piner. Piner did an outstanding job forcing

the audience to “love to hate” her. She was obnoxious and sassy in all the right places, allowing her character to not seem forced or overdone. The chemistry between the two male leads, Gillette and Felix Geisel, played by Andrew Enloe, were impeccable. It truly seemed as though they had been friends forever and could finish each other’s sentences (even without a script). Another on-stage relationship that I loved was the marriage between Geisel and his wife, Madge, played by Lauren Caddick. The relationship was seemingly effortless. I had no trouble

believing that they had been married for years. The whole cast’s pacing was phenomenal and ultimately had great chemistry. Each actor said his or her lines at what seemed like the perfect time, and spoke clearly and deliberately. They all settled comfortably in their respective roles and delivered a wellrehearsed, fast-paced murder mystery comedy. Regardless of who killed whom, it is no mystery that I would definitely recommend this play to anyone who is willing to be absolutely charmed — two thumbs up.

Florida State, Duke control ACC standings Daniel Wilson Staff Writer

Atlantic Division 1. No. 2 Florida State (10-0, 8-0 ACC): Everything is going right for the Seminoles. Jameis Winston added to his Heisman-seeking campaign this week. FSU continues its quest for a BCS Championship bid with its 59-3 victory over Syracuse. 2. No. 7 Clemson (9-1, 7-1 ACC): Despite FSU’s overwhelming success, the Tigers have pounded away against the rest of the ACC competition. Clemson handily struck down Georgia Tech in its conference finale on Saturday and will face the Citadel in its final home game. 3. Boston College (6-4, 3-3 ACC): Behind Andre Williams, the nation’s leading rusher, the Eagles earned their first bowl eligibility in three years. Williams set the conference record for rushing yards in the game against N.C. State. 4. Maryland (6-4, 2-4 ACC): The Terrapins managed to squeak past Virginia Tech on Saturday with a 27-24 overtime win in

Blacksburg, Va. Despite only winning two conference games, Maryland earned bowl eligibility in its final season in the ACC with the win over the Hokies and will take on BC in its final home game of the season. 5. Syracuse (5-5, 3-3 ACC): After falling to the Seminoles Saturday, the Orange will face fellow ACC newcomer Pittsburgh for bowl eligibility. Syracuse’s last two games are at the Carrier Dome where the Orange holds a 3-1 record on the season. 6. Wake Forest (4-6, 2-5 ACC): The Demon Deacons are currently hindered by a threegame losing streak with the most recent loss coming at the hands of Florida State. The Deacs will face Duke Saturday in their final home game of the season before travelling to Nashville, Tenn., to take on Vanderbilt to end the season. The Deacs will need wins over both teams for a bowl berth, but it will be an uphill climb. 7. N.C. State (3-7, 0-7 ACC): With injuries and inconsistent play stalling State’s offense, the Pack will be absent from the postseason for the first time in four years after dropping Saturday’s contest to the Eagles. The team will

salvage what’s left of the season with the two remaining games against East Carolina and Maryland. Coastal Division 1. No. 25 Duke (8-2, 4-2 ACC): The Blue Devils control their own destiny for their first ACC Championship bid since 1989. Duke will travel to Winston-Salem, N.C., to take on the Demon Deacons before taking on UNC-Chapel Hill for the annual Victory Bell matchup. 2. Georgia Tech (6-4, 5-3 ACC): The Yellow Jackets ended their conference schedule on Saturday with a 55-31 loss to Clemson. Georgia Tech will be forced to wait on Duke to see if it will make the ACC Championship. Tech will face Alabama A&M on Saturday before taking on Georgia to end the season. 3. Virginia Tech (7-4, 4-3 ACC): After losing its final home game of the season to the Terps, the Hokies will have the week off before they conclude their season against Virginia. Tech needs the Devils and the Jackets to lose to reach the conference championship. 4. Miami (7-3, 3-3 ACC): Since opening the season 7-0, the Hurricanes have fallen

from grace with a three-game losing streak. Miami will finish its season against Virginia and Pittsburgh and will have to settle with a bowl as its ACC Championship chances are slim-to-none. 5. UNC-Chapel Hill (5-5, 4-3 ACC): After dropping four of its first five games, the Tar Heels are clawing back and now find themselves one game away from earning bowl eligibility. UNC-CH will take on Old Dominion on Saturday before taking on Duke to attempt to reclaim the Victory Bell. 6. Pittsburgh (5-5, 2-4 ACC): On the brink of bowl eligibility, the Panthers will have to defeat Syracuse on Saturday to earn their first postseason bid as a member of the ACC. Pitt has dropped three of its last four matchups and will face the Hurricanes in its season finale. 7. Virginia (2-8, 0-6 ACC): The Cavaliers have lost seven games in a row and sit in the bottom of the ACC standings. UVa will take on Miami and Virginia Tech to end its abysmal season.

N.C. State (4-0) continued its dominance Monday night, crushing Morgan State (0-2) at Reynolds Coliseum, 94-52. This marks the second consecutive win by more than 40 points for the Wolfpack. “We were anxious to get this game over with and move on,” head coach Wes Moore said. “We knew that it was a game that we should take care of business quickly.” Senior forward Kody Burke led the team with 23 points and nine rebounds. Prior to the game, she only averaged 7.6 points per game. “Kody is very hard on herself,” Moore said. “She’s a two-time Academic AllAmerican and hopefully will be for a third time. She’s a perfectionist, so she’s hard on herself. It was good that she hit her shots and gained confidence. When she does that, she’s going to have nights like this. She knew she was going to knock them down.” Senior center Markeisha Gatling followed with14 points and eight rebounds. Senior forward Lakeesa Daniel and junior guard Breezy Williams added 13 points each off the bench. “We practiced on finding areas where we will be open, and I took that to heart,” Burke said. “Overall, it was a great team effort. Markeisha and I have a great chemistry. She can catch any pass, and she’s an efficient scorer. I always look for her when I get the ball.” The Pack’s depth has played a large role in the team’s suc-

The Pack has outscored its opponents in every game thus far. “I’ve just tried to get in where I fit in,” Barrett said. “Obviously, Kody can knock down her shots and Markeisha is an offensive threat. I focus on getting my points off of rebounds and steals.
