The cylindrical building that has been home to the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences for fifty years will be demolished after two studies, one in 2001 and one in 2003, concluded that the building could not be renovated to maintain overall efficiency, according to Lisa Johnson, university architect.

While the Board of Trustees has approved the measure to demolish the building, the space is still being utilized. PAMS and CHASS have moved out of the building into their new homes, SAS Hall and Withers Hall respectively, and

the University Space Committee has declared Harrelson Hall to be used as swing space, according to Johnson, meaning that no new permanent occupants may move in, but temporary uses are permitted. “[Harrelson Hall] was the temporary home of the Sociology and Anthropology departments when the 1911 Building was renovated,” Johnson said.

Harrelson Hall will also be crucial during the renovations of Talley Student Center, according to Johnson.

Various student affairs groups from Talley will be located temporarily in existing Harrelson offices on all three upper floors, and the University Bookstore will temporarily move to the ground floor of Harrelson, which will be temporarily enclosed. The Bookstore will relocate by the end of the spring semester, and the stu-

The day after final exams wrapped up, the University received a gift that could help it pass financial tests for years to come.

On Dec. 17, 2010, University officials announced graduate Lonnie C. Poole Jr. and his wife, Carol Johnson Poole, donated $40 million to the University. Poole, who earned his civil engineering degree from N.C. State in 1959, has made millions as founder of Waste Industries and has been a University benefactor for years. It is the largest single donation in N.C. State’s history.

Poole donated the bulk of the money, $37 million, to the College of Management, known as The Lonnie C. Poole Jr. College of Management. In doing so, the couple upped the University’s endowment by about 10 percent with a gift that Chancellor Randy Woodson called “huge” and “transformative.”

“Lonnie is a great success story, and he says he owes much of his success to N.C. State,” Woodson said. “This gift helps to elevate the stature of the College of Management; it will provide critical resources to hire and retain the best faculty and attract the best students.”

College of Management Dean Ira Weiss said the gift will give the 18-year-old college a financial shot in the arm that will help it compete with the best business schools in the country.

“We now are really aligned with the top programs: Kenan-Flagler, Fuqua, Poole, we should now be seen in that similar light,” said Weiss, comparing the University’s business school to UNC’s and Duke’s, respectively.

“We are just proud as we can be; it’s created huge smiles on faculty and staff faces. We can go out now, puff our chests out a bit and say we’ve come of age,” said Weiss.

Ethics, Sustainability Slated for Special Attention Weiss said that the college will not see the benefits of the endowment for at least a year and a half. “The next 18 months will be a time of planning and assigning funds,” he said.

The planning will consider the needs of all aspects of the College of Management.

“We’ve got a number of initiatives coming up,” Weiss said.

Atop the list of needs are retaining key faculty and creating new programs. As it considers how to best use the endowment funds, the college will also pay special attention to sustainability and ethics.

“We are going to honor Lonnie’s legacy and his core values by focusing on sustainability and ethical business practices.

There will be a major symposium on sustainability this

spring,” said Weiss.

dent affairs groups will move to Harrelson at various times based on the phased construction schedule for Talley. During this time period, Harrelson will also continue to house classroom instructional space, according to Johnson.

“All parties will move out as the new Talley Student Center becomes available in fall 2014,” Johnson said.

After the completion of the Talley Student Center renovations, which are slated to be complete by fall 2014, the University will demolish Harrelson Hall.

Completed fifty years ago, Harrelson Hall is one of the mainstays of campus. According to the Harrelson Hall Replacement and Renovation Study, 84% of all undergraduate students are assigned classes in Harrelson Hall during their undergraduate career.

The building houses 59 classrooms, and the seating capacity is 2,912.

According to Johnson, the University received approval from the North Carolina General Assembly in 2004 to build a replacement for Harrelson Hall after a study of the building indicated that renovations to the building would not be effective.

“Renovations to correct code deficiencies would result in a 35% reduction in current classroom seating capacity, a loss of office space, and an overall reduced building efficiency,” Johnson said. “Furthermore, much of the building cannot be renovated to meet ADA re-

quirements due to the limitations imposed by the structure of the building.”

Joh nson sa id t hat t he $13,608,500 that was originally allocated for renovations to Harrelson was reallocated to the new building, SAS Hall, which opened in 2009 as the new home to the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences.

“With the opening of SAS Hall, all of the office space and over one-third of the classroom space was vacated,” Johnson said.

Although the University has decided to demolish Harrelson, there is nothing that causes a structural safety concern in the building, according to Kevin MacNaughton, associate vice chancellor for facilities.

“This action does not constitute a condemnation per the definition typically used with respect to buildings,” MacNaughton said. “There are not any unsafe conditions in Harrelson.”

The inconveniences that Harrelson Hall poses in terms of noise level, restroom availability, ease of access, and the general layout of the building have contributed to the building’s unpopularity in the eyes of many students, like Haley Thornton, senior in biological sciences, who has had three classes in the cylindrical building. “[Harrelson] is my least favorite classroom set-up on campus,” Thornton said. “I feel that the shape of the building really makes it inconvenient to get around from classroom to classroom.”

Thornton said she also had concerns about the accessibil-

ity of the building to persons needing special accommodations – one of the reasons that the University was authorized to construct a replacement building.

“I often wondered how people who rely on wheelchairs would get to the top f loor,” Thornton said.

The replacement for Harrelson Hall, SAS Hall, has been generally well-received among students like Lindsey Pullum, a junior in political science.

“SAS Hall is a beautiful building,” Pullum said. “It has great structure, light, and utilities.”

Although the University has not decided what will take the place of Harrelson on the Brickyard, some students are already coming up with ideas.

“If anything is to replace Harrelson,” Pullum said, “it should be something to give tribute to Chancellor Harrelson.”

Former Chancellor John William Harrelson, who passed away in 1955 – five years before completion of Harrelson Hall – was the first N.C. State alumnus to serve as chancellor.

“To preserve the impact [Harrelson] had on the campus during his time as chancellor,” Pullum said, “I recommend a statue or dedicated plaque in his name where Harrelson Hall once stood.”

Some students are proponents of adding lawn space to the Brickyard in Harrelson’s place.

“I think that a green space would be a great addition to the monotony of the Brickyard,” Thornton said. “I feel that it would really help our efforts to beautify our campus.”

University Police: despite thefts, residence halls ‘absolutely safe’ Break-ins at Bragaw during winter break have raised concerns with students about safety.

Brooke Wallig Staff Writer

Campus Police arrested non-student Davon Chadewick White on Dec. 20 for the breaking and entering eight rooms in Bragaw Residence Hall early morning Dec. 19.

According to Capt. Jon Barnwell, the patrol division commander for Campus Police, White, who is expected to be charged in connection with at least two other thefts outside the University, gained entry to the dorms just after the start of winter break by breaking the window of the exterior door of the suite and entering through unlocked windows.

According to statistics provided by the U.S. Department of Education, burglaries in on-campus housing have significantly dropped from 16 occurrences in 2008 to seven in 2009.

However, Rhonda Lemon, a sophomore in mechanical engineering and Bragaw resident, said she is concerned because the University never informed her of these thefts.

“Last year a friend of mine’s room got broken into in Lee. They were of course informed, but I heard nothing about it, even though I lived only two suites over.

People need to be aware of incidents like this,” said Lemon. “I wish I had.”

According to Susan Grant, director of University Housing, it is standard procedure

to inform the students directly to Grant.

“University Housing and involved and then focus on addressing security issues at hall its employees, such as resident advisors, encourage students floor meetings.

“Once we discovered the to take home their expensive thefts, the students who were belongings,” said Grant. “We impacted were contacted, and also always give students a we plan to talk about this and check-out list before break that safety measures at floor meet- includes many safety precauings” said Grant. “This is an tions.”

our friends, one van and the idea to follow a band on tour led to one spontaneous road trip over the winter break. After attending an Oh, Sleeper performance at The Brewery on Hillsborough Street, Katherine Nieman, a student at Meredith College, met up with friends at Cup of Joe over the winter break. While there, the group encountered one of Oh, Sleeper’s band members, who mentioned an upcoming show in Ohio. From there, Nieman and her friends gathered money, supplies and a van, and headed to Ohio.

After Ohio, the group travelled to Indianapolis, Indiana to continue being groupies, having fun and getting into sticky situations.

That means we, the editors, the writers, the designers and the phoAmanda tographers, are Wilkins carrying on an Editor-in-chief eighty-year-old tradition, and despite the setbacks of last year, the Technician is going strong and working to improve every day.

In just this last semester, we’ve had our chancellor of-

ficially installed, an official provost hired, and the football team go to a bowl. As a campus, we battled hate and discrimination in the Free Expression Tunnel, but pulled through again as a community. The Technician was there at each step of the way, and that is something that the Technician staff will continue to do even better this semester.

The Technician is committed to “informing and entertaining” students and others on campus. We exist to make sure you know what is going on around campus, to make sure you get the truth, and to represent your voice or give

you forum to express it.

We are listening. As a staff, we want to bring you more coverage in a variety of ways, whether it is in print or online, in the form of a picture or a video. You can e-mail me your ideas, constructive criticisms, or letters to share your thoughts with the campus community. Whatever it is, the Technician is always happy to hear from you.

We also have a community calendar posted on our website to let you know what is going on around campus. You are welcome to e-mail your open, public events to editor@technicianonline.com to have them added.

The Technician is studentrun, meaning each article, cartoon, design and photo was done by one of your peers. Each day we work to bring you news, information and entertainment. It is always more the merrier though. If you have ever been interested in contributing, whether it is writing or creating videos, or you just enjoy creating fun, informative projects, please come join us.

We would love to have more creative, fun-loving people to work with.

At the end of the day, the Technician is here to serve the students at N.C. State, whether they are undergraduate or

graduate students, no matter age, color or creed. We have a duty to report the truth, fairly and accurately, and we continue to work every day to make sure this happens. So as the semester moves on, keep looking in the newsstands and online for the Technician to get everything you need to know about around campus.

Thank you for your support and good luck this semester.

Sincerely, Amanda Wilkins Editor-in-Chief, Technician

N.C. State welcomes international students

T

he prospect of travelling halfway around the world in pursuit of higher education can be intimidating, to say the least. The responsibility of making these travelers feel at Manan home falls on the students of Chandra the new uniColumnist versity. Making international students feel welcome is an area where the students of N.C. State score high.

Mingling with and befriending people from different cultures is challenging for more than just the reserved. Personal initiative may not always suffice to break the ice and shatter cultural barriers. It needs to be coupled with the organization of cultural programs and gettogethers to allow foreign students to better appreciate cultural diversity. This goes a long way in enabling and fostering bonds between people from different parts of the world, thus making them a lot more comfortable in their new surroundings.

The Office of International Services facilitates free airport pick-ups, a detailed orientation session, a fun-filled party followed by dinner, and a separate office providing a host of services, including counseling, for the sizeable population of international students. Speaking from personal experience, I felt at ease in my new environment right from day one.

Apart from the International Students Organization, groups like Maitri and Yuva work not only to ensure a smooth transition for overseas students, but to also promote the values and traditions of different communities. This is achieved through a combination of celebrating festivals from around the world, and putting together cultural programs such as dances and skits. This provides a forum of sorts to international students to showcase to American and other foreign students the values and traditions of their society, a matter that is just as important as academics. Our world is quickly becoming a global village and without the comprehension of what different cultures have to offer, our education in this age is incomplete.

With the wide variety in culture that the United States boasts, studying at N.C. State provides the added advantage of exposure to different value systems, allowing people to incorporate them into their personality. This improves the quality of education even more.

Incorporation of the positives of all cultures adds an extra dimension to one a person, giving him or her an edge over others, which is what education at N.C. State is all about.

International students lack participation in University activities

T

he number of international students at N.C. State is around 2,200 with representation from over 100 countries.

With the start of this semester, another Pranay 0 odd Deshpande 10 students Deputy wou ld be Viewpoint Editor adde d to this community. With this number of students, there is little contribution or representation for the various opportunities available to them at N.C. State.

Most international students are graduate students, which means they have an area of expertise.

Many of these students are into research and make a significant contribution to the research needs of N.C. State. However there is a significant mismatch when it comes to contributions from international students to other University clubs and bodies, like Student Government. Most international students are part of the University for two to three years, but think it is a small time for them to get accustomed to a new

country and contribute to the University at the same time.

International students need to realize that this is a chance for them to do something more than their academics.

There are many opportunities available at N.C. State that are not explored by international students.

Pl ac e s l i ke Wolf-TV, Pack Music Production Club and other organizations exist on campus and give international students an opportunity to utilize their expertise. Most of the international students are graduate students in engineering. There are 58 engineering student organizations on campus according to the Engineering Student Organizations website, but there doesn’t appear to be many international students contributing a lot to any of those.

International students need to be more assertive when looking at these opportunities. Finding the right club or organization to contribute to

would not be hard. The Office of International Services lists ways for these students to get involved. One of the many concerns of international students is finding job opportunities on campus. They need to look past the traditional opportunities and be open to new ideas where t hey can use their expertise.

T he Un iversit y is a lso missing out on a tremendous set of ideas and skills because of the lack of contribution from international students. Student clubs and organizations need to make sure international students are welcome and a part of various activities on campus over and above their academics. Between all nine strategic planning task forces, only three of the students serving on them are three international students. While being at N.C. State meets an international students’ requirement for international exposure, students also need to consider the fact that they can have an inter-

national experience without going out of the country. Considering their various diverse backgrounds, international students are capable of adding a completely different perspective on things, which would help relations in the long run.

The international student community seems to be underrepresented when it comes to student organizations and clubs. As Thomas Greene, the associate director of the Office of International Services, said, “We need to consider the fact that international students are not optional at N.C. State, though they might be students with special needs for some time to start with.” The University needs to make sure these students are included in activities around campus and contribute to the growth of N.C. State. This also means while international students need to realize they need to start contributing in the ways they can soon to have a truly international experience.

Dussek said. “My favorite ride at Universal was Twister-Ride It Out because it contained fire and simulated being in a tornado.”

Aaron Picart, a freshman in graphic design, also went to Orlando to “check out Hogwarts at Universal Studios, and get away from the North Carolina weather.”

Picart also enjoyed time at Walt Disney World. His vacation happened to coincide with the bowl game, so he was “happy to run into tons of State supporters, which made it feel like home.”

Unfortunately, Picart said he was unable to get enough tickets to the bowl game.

“I elected to scream myself hoarse from the comfort of the indoors,” Picart said, “though I imagine they could probably hear me at the stadium.”

The Champs Bowl was an opportunity for students to experience both a Wolfpack win and the excitement of the famous amusement parks.
