University switches antivirus providers Trend Micro will perform better than Symantec, according to the Office of Information Technology Alex Vaughn Staff Writer
The University is switching campus antivirus software from Symantec to Trend Micro this year. The new software offers better protection while utilizing fewer resources on the computers it is installed on, Neal McCorkle, information security officer, said. “Trend managed to have a
lot better virus definitions and culled a lot more viruses in our testing,” McCorkle said. “Trend actually updates virus definitions multiple times a day and Symantec just updated once.” The software is available to all students and staff at the Office of Information Technology Web site. Instructions for installing and using the program as well as uninstalling the Symantec software are also available on the Web site. McCorkle said the University is currently transitioning its computers to the new software. StuANTIVIRUS continued page 3

Tribute to Yow proves somber Students, fans remember coach in hour long event
“She embodied everything that is N.C. State. She’ll be missed, but we’ll never forget her.”
Derek Medlin Managing Editor
More than 1,000 people visited Reynolds Coliseum Wednesday night to attend an event dedicated to paying tribute to late women’s basketball coach Kay Yow. Yow, who passed away Saturday morning after battling cancer for more than 20 years, is the only head coach in the history of the women’s basketball program. Students, faculty, staff, fans and former players all attended Wednesday night’s event. Athletic Director Lee Fowler said Yow’s legacy of service to the University will be remembered. “Coach Yow was a leader, teacher, a Christian, a fighter and a mother figure,” Fowler said. “She told me once she was
Chris Hathcock, senior in aerospace engineering convinced that 10 percent of what happens to you couldn’t be controlled and 90 percent is what you could control. That depended on your attitude. Kay Yow was always positive.” The tribute, which lasted a little more than an hour, began with the women’s basketball coaches and team placing flowers in Yow’s seat at the end of the bench. A moment of silence and prayer followed before Fowler and Chancellor James Oblinger spoke to the crowd. Acapella group Grains of Time also sang prior to the events opening.
During his remarks, Oblinger said Yow’s career at N.C. State and battle with cancer, which she was first diagnosed with in 1987, inspired many. “Her legacy goes well beyond the hardwood f loor,” he said. “She used her talent not for personal gain, but to help other people. Her commitment to serving others set her apart, from everyone.” Following remarks from Fowler, Oblinger and assistant basketball coach Jenny Palmateer, the crowd viewed an 18-minute video highlighting Yow’s career at the University. The crowd gave Yow a standing

Student Government undergoes heated debate regarding election bill 2009 Elections Reform Act shot down in Student Senate Wednesday night
CURRENT SPENDING LIMITS Student Body President: $300 Student Senate President: $250 Student Body Treasurer: $250 Senator: $200
Samuel T.O. Branch Deputy News Editor
Government Bill 37, a bill intended to reform the Student Government election process, underwent a heated debate in the Student Senate Wednesday night. While some senators agreed reform was necessary, the bill called for a complete scratch of campaign spending limits. As the rule is written now, there are strict spending limits for all campaigns. Several SG officials, including Student Body President Jay Dawkins, argued for some level of changes. But the debate was about whether the changes should go as far as eliminating spending limits. According to Senior Class President Adam Compton, the current policy has too many loopholes and problems. Compton

TONIGHT’S RAM ROAST BOASTS NEW FEATURES Samuel T.O. Branch Deputy News Editor
The fourth annual basketball Ram Roast will take place at the Free Expression Tunnel at 7 p.m. tonight. The event will include a pep rally and a night of guarding the tunnel from UNC-Chapel Hill students. The basketball Ram Roast, which the Alumni Association and the Senior Class Council host, differs from the football Ram Roast that took place in November, according to Adam Compton, the senior class president. “We are doing a couple of different things,” Compton, a senior in agricultural business management, said. “Football had lots of prizes, like a digital camera and a iPod shuffle, but this game we have about 50 tickets [to give away.]” Students could receive the tickets through an online process in exchange for their time. Compton said participants signed up to help guard the tunnel in three different shifts throughout the night. After a participants three hours are up, that person will receive a hard copy of his ticket. The tickets are all located in the 100 level student section. The first part of the pep rally

will feature speeches from both players and coach Sidney Lowe, Compton said. “After that the cheerleaders will perform and then Grains of Time will sing,” Compton said. Also, volunteers will be tossing out prizes to students during the pep rally. “We’re giv ing away 200 “Beat the Heels” T-shirts,” C ompton s a id . “They’re the same T-shirts that you can buy in the bookstore.” According to Compton, the sports council will also make an appearance. “The sports council is...hosting a cornhole tournament and we’re doing a shot challenge,” he said. A basketball goal will be set up for the shot challenge right outside the Free Expression Tunnel. The object is to see how many shots people make throughout the entire night, Compton said. “We’re aiming for 1,000,” he said. In the end, Compton said the main goal of the new features is to keep students at the tunnel all through the night to prevent a tunnel highjacking. “You’re basically guarding the tunnel,” he said.

In ‘Former president urges student involvement’ (p.1, Jan. 27) staff writer James Cox incorrectly reported information about the President William Jefferson Clinton Hunger Leadership award. It is actually an annual award that both the University and Stop Hunger now offer to any college student who demonstrates leadership in the fight against hunger and a commitment to a life of service in the areas of hunger, poverty reduction or a related area.

President Obama’s stimulus package up for first vote
President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus package went up for its first vote Wednesday. The House of Representatives was expected to vote sometime Wednesday on the fate of the $825 billion plan. Obama has pushed for this plan ever since his election in November, especially in the weeks directly prior to his inauguration. Now, with his first week in office through, Obama will be able to see where the House stands on his stimulus package. Nancy Pelosi, the house speaker, said it would be the most vital bill the representatives would vote on during this session of the House. SOURCE: CNN

Involve everyone when discussing budget cuts THE ISSUE:
The University is struggling in the weak economy, and this is evidenced by the budget cuts.
OUR OPINION:
Because this is not a onesize-fits-all solution, the University must take advice from all parties involved.
THE SOLUTION:
The University must take heed to the requests of department heads and consider giving its employees more duties.

Embrace courtesy, don’t expect it In response to Antoinette Russell’s column ‘Give up your bus seats, gentleman,’ I have to voice out a female opinion against it. I think it’s utterly ridiculous that a woman at this University would have the audacity to speak about chivalry and insult more than half of the students that attend here in a bitter article about the inconvenience of not being able to text on her phone, carry her books and be obligated to stand up on the Wolfline all at the same time. My advice: put your phone away, get a book bag and get over it. We all know that the Wolfline is jam-packed practically half of the day, and it’s not nearly impossible — it is TOTALLY impossible — to truly expect a seat every time you ride. Yeah, the ride requires more focus on standing up when you have to be on your feet, but a piece of advice for you – it’s so much easier to stand when you’re paying attention. Fifteen minutes of not texting won’t kill you. And about the whole chivalry is dead bit — men shouldn’t be obligated to be courteous, that’s a pretty outdated and sexist ideology to still have in the 21st century. Besides, it’s so much nicer when people (of any sex) WANT to be courteous. Call me a feminist, but I have two legs and I intend on using them when necessary and I don’t need a man to carry my books because I can handle that all by myself. Ethiennette Rodriguez junior, psychology
Antoinette Russell does not represent all women I was disappointed to see that the only responses to “Give Up Your Bus Seats, Gentlemen” were from men, so I think we need the women’s perspective on this. That article and the sense of entitlement that I have heard espoused from the author and women like her are an embarrassment to all women. I am a woman, and I have an injury that often makes me have to travel campus on a cane. I don’t expect preferential treatment based on either of these conditions. Expecting the outdated code of conduct known as “chivalry” is sexist toward men, and is harmful towards women because men clearly resent the princesses who expect their sacrifices. I, at least, am going to stand up and separate myself from this opinion and show that not all of us women are looking for a handout. As for the author, I just hope you’re not looking for a job after college, so you won’t be writing any more of this man-hating garbage that will make all of us look bad any more. Agnes Davis senior, psychology [Editor’s note: The 250 word limit has been waived for this forum letter.]
Keep chivalry alive Antoinette Russell’s viewpoint “Give up your bus seats, gentlemen” definitely raised some eyebrows, but it also brought up some good points.
U
NC system President Erskine Bowles recommended to the system’s Board of Governors lowering the yearly tuition increase cap for the 2009-2010 year to 4.5 percent, down from the usual 6.5 percent cap. This is a good start, and we thank Bowles for relieving families and students of the extra financial burden and not depending on them to cover the deficit, but we must remember the root of the problem is deeper than tuition cost. The University must remember that it is investing in human capital, and cutting programs, classes and faculty doesn’t just affect our

ranking. The cuts that we make now are going to affect the state 10, 20 and even 40 years from now, because the decisions made now affect students’ quality of education. Every decision is critical and every step should be well-advised, from all sides, and planned out for what’s best for now and the future. Instead of having a blanket freeze on hiring and travel expenses, the University must take a closer look into where it could save money and have the smallest impact.
Ideally, the department heads should be the ones to figure out what gets cut and what stays in their respective programs. They are familiar with how the cuts could impact their programs, and they would have insight on what could be trimmed. But as it is now, University administrators are the ones with the final say in what stays and goes. We ask them to listen to the advice from professors, students and especially department heads before making any major decisions concerning what gets cut.
We also suggest the University keep salaries the same in the near future but encourage its employees to take on more duties. This can help eliminate the need to hire new people and save money by letting go of jobs that’s duties can be spread out comfortably to others. University officials must look at the big picture when considering cuts. This is more than cutting paper clips, rubber bands and staples from the budget. There must be permanent and drastic changes if we are going to have a stable learning institution.

I know most people think chivalry is dead, but just because most men refuse to give in or don’t think about it, it doesn’t mean that us guys should give up. For the past two years, I have witnessed countless women boarding a packed bus, but the men either don’t care, don’t notice or a mix of the two. I, however, would always make sure to offer my seat to a woman, and most of the time, I was the only one to do so. I have been ridiculed, praised, thanked and even questioned for my actions, but the reason for doing so is and always has been the same. First and foremost, I am a Christian, and as a Christian, I am not only called, but commanded to have a certain character. Matthew 22:39 says “And the second [greatest commandment] is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” The apostle Paul restates Jesus’ command in his letter to the Romans: “Let no debt remain outstanding, except for the continuing debt to love one another...” In order to take this to heart, the things we as Christians are called to do is to love others above all things except God. As a result, not only must we try to keep chivalry alive in our own lives by giving up our seats to women and opening doors for them, but we should also reach out to men as well. We should look for ways to help others, whether or not they ask for it. Quite a few people have refused to take my seat, but when they realize that I’m NOT going to sit back down, they take the chance to sit 10 times out of 10. This viewpoint is not meant to alienate non-Christians or spread hate, since the subject is about something all people can do- love. Even those who are dead-set against Christianity for one reason or another can look for ways to love others. As long as we have a few people in the world who try to love, chivalry will never die. To some, it may seem as though chivalry hasn’t existed since the middle ages, but in reality, chivalry is a mind-set of a respectable man who knows there are other things more important than a seat on a 10 to 20 minute bus ride or one spot closer in line because he didn’t hold the door for the lady behind him. So men, do the right thing- because they’re worth it and because it’s the right thing to do. And ladies, thank the man who looks out for you. They’re few and far between.

Youtube videos might be shown at slower speeds, whereas financial news might be given a priority on bandwidth. This kind of behavior is essentially discrimination against different types of web traffic.

The United States is lagging when it comes to making sure t hat people have access to broadband Internet, and this is hurtful to our nation. The people who will innovate the most in technology will be the people who have the broadest access to Internet resources, argues Rouskas. In order for the U.S. to maintain leadership in technology, we have to make sure that we do not allow Internet providers’ thirst for money to drown out the common good. Obama’s Web site states he will “Support the principle of network neutrality to preserve the benefits of open competition on the Internet.” Perhaps it is time

for us to consider, as Rouskas puts it, a “Manhattan Project” equivalent for broadband. The idea would be for the United States to invest in providing far-reaching, reliable, high-quality broadband to its citizens. That kind of investment would propel the U.S. forward in technology and countless other innovations would spring up from that investment. The same way many of our current innovations came from Department of Defenserelated research, unforeseeable benefits and technologies would e m e r ge i f we made it a priority to forge sound Internet policy and technology. In the past, the United States government decided that it was worthwhile for everybody to have access to telephone lines and that people in cities would pay slightly higher phone costs to subsidize phone lines in rural areas. Congress should recognize that the Internet has similar value to society, and it should guide policy with that in mind.

EXPLORING THE UNTESTED COURSE SIMPLIFIES EINSTEIN’S SPECIAL AND GENERAL THEORIES OF RELATIVITY TO AN UNDERGRADUATE LEVEL STORY BY ALISON HARMAN | PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY DAVID MABE
A
blackboard that hangs in place of a painting or poster in Chris Gould’s office looks like it arrived there, as is, straight from a physics lesson. The associate dean of the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences has scrawled geometric figures, calculus equations and a stick figure on it in white chalk. Behind the newer triangles and rectangles are remnants of older continuous lines and differentiations.
He uses this blackboard to explain the concepts of space and time to students who cannot rationalize some of the consequences of Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity, some of which include the possibility — or rather the lack of physical limitations — of a human traveling backward in time. The theory states that time does not move at a fixed rate, but can depend on who is reading time and at what speed they are traveling. “Spacetime travel either appeals to people, or it appalls them,� said Gould, who teaches spacetime physics, a course that explores ideas like twin paradoxes and what would a volunteer team of black hole jumpers would see if it fell into a stable black hole. Gould has taught the course “on and off for 20 years,� but he said it has been available to undergraduate students for only the past five to eight years. Course material, he said, had been too difficult for anyone but
a few graduate students to understand. “Einstein thought about the general theory of relativity for a decade before he could figure out what it all meant,� Gould said. “It took almost 100 more before they figured out how to explain it to undergraduates.� Niyati Mody, a senior in mechanical engineering, said the course is understandable for her and very interesting. “This class is interesting because you get these outstanding results that you would never think would happen,� she said. It took a team of John Wheeler, a physician who was renowned for his knowledge about the subject of spacetime physics, and Edwin Taylor, who works in the physics department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to explain the material at an undergraduate level. They wrote a textbook — Exploring Black Holes: Introduction to General Relativity — that Gould said enabled the class to
expand from about 15 students each year to this year’s total of 40. Taylor is speaking at a lecture Feb. 4 and in Gould’s class the following day. Gould’s students will begin to look at the next edition — a collection of scanned pages in a binder — in about two weeks. Taylor is attempting to work out any aspect of the book that remains unclear, Gould said, because, even when the subject is perfectly explained, it is still difficult to understand. “It doesn’t matter what your major is. If you’re not confused by it, you’re not thinking hard enough,� he said. “The time part is hard for people to come to grips with.� He gave an example that an 18-foot pole can fit into 6-foot tall space if the person holding it runs quickly enough. “It doesn’t make any sense,� he said. “It all comes down to whether the front end of the pole knows what the back end is doing.� No one has ever tested the idea, but physical equations say it’s possible. These are the same equations that scientists and engineers prove true every day, Gould said. “How does a global positioning system work?� Gould asked. “It only works because they’ve got general relativity built into them. They take into account the curve of space and the bending of the Earth. It’s all out there. These aren’t just sort-of real theories.�
LEARN MORE Edwin Taylor, recipient of the Oersted Medal, the highest award of the American Association of Physics Teachers and co-author of the undergraduate textbook about spacetime physics, will speak in Riddick Hall, Room 301, at 4 p.m. Feb. 4. The lecture is entitled “The Jungle and the Explorers.�

FACTS ABOUT TIME TRAVEL Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity, upon which much of the spacetime physics course is based upon, states that: r The laws by which the states of physical systems undergo change are not affected; and r Light in vacuum propagates with the speed c (a fixed constant) in terms of any system of inertial coordinates, regardless of the state of motion of the light source. Although the theory does not indicate that the possibility of time travel is likely, it does leave room for a few consequences. These are events that, although many remain untested, can be proven by physical and mathematical equations. They include: r 5JNF EJMBUJPO ‡ (PVME TBJE it is physically possible for a person to make a round trip to a star located 22,000 light years BXBZ BOE XIJMF UIF &BSUI XJMM have aged 44,000 years, the traveller will have aged only 40 years.

found a way to fuel such a trip. Time dilation is the time lapse between two events depends on the relative speeds of the observers’ reference frames. One example is the twin paradox, which concerns a twin who flies off in a spaceship traveling near the speed of light and returns to discover that his or her twin sibling has aged much more. 3FMBUJWJUZ PG TJNVMUBOFJUZ ‡ Two events happening in two different locations that occur simultaneously in the reference frame of one inertial observer may occur non-simultaneously in the reference frame of another inertial observer. -PSFOU[ DPOUSBDUJPO ‡ The dimensions of an object as measured by one observer may be smaller than the results of measurements of the same object made by another observer. If a person holding a pole runs fast enough — faster than humanly possible — it will be able to fit into a smaller HBSBHF (PVME TBJE *OFSUJB BOE NPNFOUVN ‡ As an object’s speed approaches the speed of light from an observer’s point of view, its mass appears to increase thereby making it more and more difficult to accelerate it from within the observer’s frame of reference. &RVJWBMFODF PG NBTT BOE FOFSHZ & ND ‡ The energy content of an object at rest with mass m equals mc2. Conservation of energy implies that in any reaction a decrease of the sum of the masses of particles must be accompanied by an increase in kinetic energies of the particles after the reaction.

Team Stellar decides on design for Lunar X prize N.C. State’s team stellar has chosen one of its final two lunar rover designs Laney Tipton Senior Staff Writer
Members of Team Stellar deliberated over its design for a rover that could potentially land on the moon, weighing multiple options before reaching a decision. Senior team members, two of whom are professors, worked on the design, and graduate students submitted project ideas of their own. Team Stellar is one of 14 teams whose aim is to develop a rover capable of landing on the moon, traveling 500 meters, streaming high-definition video from its surface and sending a text message and e-mail back to Earth. The winning team — Stellar’s includes graduate and undergraduate students and two professors — will receive $30 million from Google, which is sponsoring the Lunar X Prize.

The rover will become positive intellectual property for the school, giving science and engineering professors a real life model from which to draw lecture materials. The goal of the competition, according to Gordon Jeans, Team Stellar member, is to find a helium isotope on the moon that could one day provide us with alternate energy sources. Jeans, a senior in computer engineering, said nations are racing to lay claim on sections of the moon to get access to this valuable resource. “The moon is the next Antarctica,� he said. Jeans said this could also be a benefit for the University. If the isotope does become an alternate energy source, N.C.

A fuel pump leak at the N.C. State steam plant resulted in a fuel spill at the Neuse River Wastewater Treatment Plant. It was not dangerous to the public and was contained to the city’s wastewater system. University workers prevented the spill’s contents from reaching Rocky Branch Creek, and University officials reported the spill to the state Emergency Management and National Response Center. The city of Raleigh has 32 million gallons of storage basin capacity, and because it is now holding the contents of the spill, it could reach this capacity soon. SOURCE: THE NEWS AND OBSERVER
High fructose corn syrup contains mercury, studies show Nearly half of samples of commercial high fructose corn syrup recently tested contained mercury. Americans consume an average of 12 teaspoons of high fructose corn syrup per day. Representatives from the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy are encouraging the FDA to make changes to the standards for HFCS, and a representative from the Institute said the presence of mercury in foods is potentially dangerous. HFCS is commonly used as a sweetener in beverages, cereals, breakfast bars, lunch meats, soaps and condiments. SOURCE: THE WASHINGTON POST

However, while the solar panel is an advancement, most doubt the feasibility of the production of completely solar-powered vehicles. SOURCE: CNN.COM
Battery-operated bandage hits market The Prosit adhesive bandage, which uses microscopic batteries mounted on a flexible membrane to pass 1.2 volts of current over the wearer’s skin, has gone to market under Vomaris Innovations out of Chandler, Ariz. Electricity can serve to heal cuts and wounds at an accelarated rate. Some major hospitals are using the bandages, such as the Mayo Clinic and Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The Prosit does not yet have a set retail price, but it costs $140 per patient to use the electric bandages to heal a single wound, as opposed to $1,000 for standard dressings. SOURCE: CNN.COM
Price of netbooks continues to fall as popularity grows Netbooks, or shrunken laptops, may become as popular as cell phones. Some, potentially marketed by AT&T are expected to sell for $99 with a two-year contract. Radio Shack offered Acer netbooks at $99 during the 2008 holiday season. Dell announced plans to reduce the cost of its Inspiron Mini 9 notebook to $99 with an AT&T plan after rebate. SOURCE: CNN.COM
Google explores offline version of Gmail services Google is experimenting with offline features for Gmail, its popular e-mail service. With these features, users could read, write, and search Gmail messages without being connected to the internet. This would enable use of Gmail on planes and in places where internet is not available -- to an extent. Those using offline Gmail would be storing their inboxes to their personal computers. However, not all features would work offline, with those missing including attachments and contacts. SOURCE: CNN.COM

hen the men’s basketball team faces UNC-Chapel Hill in the RBC Center Saturday afternoon, it will be the 214th meeting between the two teams in a rivalry that dates back to 1912. N.C. State’s undisputed arch-rival is known by many names — Carolina, UNC, Chapel Hill, Tarheels. And while any game, match or meet against the Heels is highly anticipated, some Wolfpack programs have developed deep-seeded rivalries with schools other than the baby-blue clad bunch from Orange County. The Technician staff looks at four of these rivalries that have developed with the Wolfpack’s rifle, cross country, gymnastics and softball teams.

The words ‘elbow surgery’ are career altering words for an athlete. Elbow surgery could mean an end to a career or a long, uphill rehabilitation battle for pitchers, quarterbacks or tennis stars. Dustin Wilks, professional bass fisherman and 1997 N.C. State graduate, never thought this surgery would make its way into his sport. Two years ago, however, Wilks’ career was shaken up when he blew out his elbow at a fishing tournament in Texas and determined that he would have to undergo an elbow surgery similar to Tommy John surgery. Wilks was casting large

baits known as swim baits to largemouth bass in Texas’ Lake Amistad. The casting of the large baits damaged the ligaments in Wilks’ elbow enough to put him out of the sport for two years. Wilks came back with a strong performance in Bassmaster’s Elite Series last year and qualified for this year’s Super Bowl of bass fishing: the Bassmaster
Classic. “This was my first year back and I made the Classic, so it was a pretty good comeback,� Wilks said. A year out of the spotlight in the professional bass fishing circuit is a huge hit to anglers because they rely heavily on their WILKS continued page 7
The women’s basketball team has played for their coach, Kay Yow, each game for the last 34 years. Tonight, Yow’s inspiration means more than ever. N.C. State (8-11, 0-4 ACC) faces Boston College (16-4, 4-1 ACC) at 7 p.m. in Reynolds Coliseum in their first contest since the passing of their beloved and legendary coach. When asked about her expectations for the game, interim head coach Stephanie Glance pulled Shayla Fields and Tia Bell tight to her sides and said “we have no idea — we just don’t know.� “We’re going to put forth our best effort on the court because coach Yow would want us to do that,� Glance
said. “We’re going to walk through this moment by moment and day by day as best we can as a group of people that find ourselves in a very difficult situation. But we’re going to stick together, and I know that would be her greatest expectation.� The Wolfpack leads the Eagles 4-2 in the all-time series. The previous game resulted in a 60-41 win in Reynolds Feb. 10, 2008. State looks to avoid its first 0-5 start in the ACC since the 2003-04 season. Senior Shayla Fields and junior Nikitta Gartrell continue to lead the ACC as the top scoring backcourt in the conference. The duo also leads the ACC in minutes played. Fields is currently second in the conference in scoring, tallying 334 points in 19 games. Boston College is No. 2 in the ACC with a field goal percentage of .452, while State remains in last place at .381.

But it will be the first game since Yow died Jan. 24.
