Date For the Quake event a success N.C. State Park Scholars and College of Textiles partnered to host the Date For The Quake event Saturday Chelsey Francis Correspondent
As a part of the campus-wide Howl For Haiti relief program, Park Scholars and the College of Textiles partnered to host the Date For The Quake event Saturday in Talley Student Center Ballroom. Howl For Haiti is the campus-wide disaster relief effort started in January with the purpose of aiding Haitian earthquake victims. In a letter to the student body about Howl For Haiti, Student Body President Jim Ceresnak said, โThis will be a collective effort of our entire campus community to raise funds for Stop Hunger Now, our traditional philanthropy partner that has been charged with providing immediate relief to earthquake victims.โ Date For the Quake included a fashion show, which was hosted by the College of Textiles; a date auction, hosted by the Park Scholars and live music. The music was provided by

ROTC holds aviation training lab National Guard lends helicopters to give cadets hands on training experience Annie Albright News Editor
Army ROTC partnered with the N.C. National Guard last Friday to coordinate a hands on aviation lab for its cadets. Josh Berrian, cadet officer in charge of the aviation lab, said it gave the youngest cadets a chance to participate in a land and air simulation. โOur cadre coordinated with the N.C. National Guard to get the two black hawks in for us to use,โ Berrian said. โBasically what happened is we did a simulation of an air insertion. The MS-1 cadets were flown throughout the grounds of Dorthea Dix, where they were then presented with a movement-to-contact mission, where they faced other cadets acting as an enemy opposing force.โ Berrian said the cadets are grouped by year, MS-1 representing first year military science students, MS-2 representing second year and so on. The experience, he said, was mainly for the freshmen and sophomores. โIt is really good hands on experience with equipment that they may be responsible for using when they graduate and get into what we call the big army, or the real army,โ Berrian said.
โIt prepares them for future summer training, like when they go to IDAC between their junior and senior years because they will be doing a helicopter exertion into a simulated area of operations.โ Cadet Lieutenant, Sage Boyd, said the lab gave the opportunity for several new experiences. She said several students had never flown on a helicopter before. โI remember when I first heard about it,โ Boyd said. โI was really nervous about it because I thought it was going to be really rough in the helicopter but it was so much smoother than I thought, the landing was even smooth.โ Berrian said there was a lot that went into the planning. โIt was kind of a tandem planning operation between myself and the bravo company cadre,โ Berrian said. โSo we had to come up with a flight plan, different chopper lifts, and what not, to coordinate the movements between MS-1โs and MS-2โs.โ The second part of the training, he said, was a ground exercise. โOnce the cadets were on the ground and they had dismounted the aircraft, I was responsible for briefing them in operations order, which essentially outlines the mission that they were about to complete,โ Berrian said. Planning for the lab, Berrian said,

Incoming freshmen will be issued an updated AllCampus card that will minimize the number of cards students need to carry. Michael Smith, the AllCampus network office manager, said the new cards would increase f lexibility. โThe new cards will have a magnetic strip, which will serve the same purpose as the strip on the current cards,โ Smith said. โThis strip is used for the AllCampus account, Board Bucks and meal plans. There will also be another strip on the new cards, which will be used for the WolfCopy account.โ Smith said the cards would also change the way campus buildings

are accessed. โThe new cards will also have a piece of technology in them which will allow entrance into restricted areas,โ Smith said. โThey will have the prox. card imbedded in them, which will make entrance as easy as swiping the AllCampus card.โ Yesenia Perez Olmedo, a freshman in First Year College, said she likes the new idea, but also has reservations. โOverall, itโs a good idea,โ she said. โItโs less to carry and less to worry about losing; but at the same time, if you lose that one card, youโre pretty much screwed.โ Smith said the new card would also have additional space on it to allow for added technology. Each additional piece of technology added to the card, he said, will have to be approved by the AllCampus card committee. โFor example, there could be a program added to the cards of all the students in a certain lab that need access to an expensive microscope, therefore, making access as easy as swiping the card,โ Smith said. An expiration date will also be in-
cluded on the new cards, Smith said. On the expiration date, he said, the AllCampus Card will stop working and a new one can be issued if it is determined the student has a continued need for the card. Deirdre Deane, sophomore in mathematics education and resident advisor, said the new card is especially good for freshmen students. โThe new card is a good idea for the simple fact that it will keep everything together,โ Deane said. โIt will be one less thing for freshmen to keep up with.โ Smith said it would not be necessary for current students to update their card, but that the fee for replacing new cards will be increased due to the added technology. This technology, he said, would also make the cards expensive, so the University is trying to minimize costs by not reissuing cards to all current students. โThere is no need for everyone to have a new card. Your current card will work,โ Smith said.
