Mobile Web application aggregates information for students on the go

Briant RobeyStaff Writer

The Office of Information Technol-ogy has introduced a new service that brings several aspects of the Univer-sity’s Web site to digital devices.

OIT, collaborating with student con-tributors, launched Mobile Web Sept. 3. The site, accessible from any Web-capa-ble phone, provides links to Universi-ty-related news, a searchable personnel catalog and a system that shows the loca-tion of all Wolfline buses.

Jason Austin, an application director with OIT, said the idea came from other local universities.

“We saw what Duke was doing with their iPhone app,” Austin said. “Back

in May, we decided to call anyone who was interested on campus to see who wanted N.C. State to go with [the idea].”

Austin said budget cuts stalled the project for a while, but it eventually regained its momentum.

“We held another meeting about a month or so ago,” Austin said. “On Aug. 26, we had nothing, but we want-ed to get something out quick and fast — before the first football game. It’s

still really new in the whole process.”

Most of the mobile Web site’s content is nothing new. The University’s news updates and catalog have been available on the main N.C. State site for quite awhile, as has Trans-portation’s Transloc.

Austin said that ac-cessibility, however,

is the major focus.“One of the things we try really hard

to do is pull information that is al-ready out there,” Austin said. “[Trans-

portation] has a mobile site already, and we just linked to that. The goal is to better integrate all these appli-cations right now. On campus there weren’t a lot of mobile applications to base [this project] on, which is why

After three years of planning and campaigning, student leaders and Chancellor James Woodward have settled on a dollar amount for the proposed Talley Student Center reno-vation fee.

Philip MeilleurCorrespondent

Applications to join the University Housing Judicial Board are due by 5 p.m. today. The board is a panel of stu-dents residing on campus that decide on small student conduct cases.

Chester Miller Jr., the assistant di-rector of Wolf Vil-lage, is working with the Judicial Board for the first time this year.

“We will usually work with minor cases where people have violated hous-ing policies,” he said.

Mil ler said the board looks over a variety of cases.

“If a roommate has violated the guest rule for their dorms several times we would listen to the case and render a verdict,” he said.

According to University Housing’s disciplinary procedures regulation 11.30.1, issued Oct. 1, 2002, “the Res-idence Hall Judicial Board will hear

those cases involving repeat offend-ers or violations where eviction is a possibility.”

Section 3.2 details that repeat alco-hol violation are heard exclusively by the Office of Student Conduct.

The board could have many benefits for participating students, according to Miller.

“It’s an opportunity to learn more about the way university housing and

the ways its rules are enforced,” he said. “Many students in-terested in student government see it as a prelude to more government-like po-sitions.”

Miller said stu-dents interested in law school may want to get involved to get experience with similar kinds of

processes. According to regulations, board members need only to be able to judge the case fairly, superficial knowledge non-withstanding.

“Students get the chance to render fair solutions or sanctions in real cases,” Miller said.

Miller said while students are al-lowed to bring witnesses to their hear-ings, they are not permitted to direct questions at their accusers.

“Students would rather direct their question to the board itself, who would then ask the accused.”

He said he thought having peers review cases instead of officials was beneficial for the students.

The Leader of the Pack award will be given at half-time of the Nov. 7 home-coming game against Mary-land to two student leaders who display leadership, scholarship and community service.

To apply, students must have a cumulative GPA of

2.5 or higher and be free from academic integrity probation and previous dis-ciplinary probation. Appli-cants must also have com-pleted two semesters, be en-rolled as an undergraduate and intend to return to the University in fall 2010.

Applications are due Fri-day, Oct. 2 at 5 p.m. No late applications will be ac-cepted.

WoRld & nationBernanke: Recession is over, but tough times will lingerThe deep recession that’s gripped the U.S. economy by the throat since December 2007 is “very likely over at this point,” Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Tuesday.however, Bernanke painted a picture of an underperforming economy well into next year as he fielded questions after a speech at the Brookings Institution, a center-left research center in the nation’s capital.

Newsblog updates from Red and White for Life and Twitter up-dates from the University. For iPhone users, the new Web site links to the University’s You-Tube channel.

OIT has advertised the mo-bile Web site on Facebook, Twitter and through digital ads in the library, but student knowledge of the project is limited.

“I haven’t heard of it,” Logan Draughn, junior in biochemis-try, said. “I don’t use the wire-less Internet capability on my phone, but it sounds like a good idea for people that ride the buses.”

Jamille Lack-ey, sophomore in math educa-tion, said she uses the Web br ow s e r o n her phone but hasn’t heard of the mobile site.

“It seems convenient,” Lack-ey said. “The tracking system would be helpful — I have a friend who uses it all the time. Everything else is going to the Internet, so I guess they’re just keeping up with the times.”

Ashley Simons, sophomore in communications, said she would use it more if she had heard about it.

“The bus schedule would be handy,” Simons said. “The news aspect is also pretty good. I check a lot of things in-be-tween classes, and it could be

useful.”Although the project is still

in the developmental phase, Austin is confident more in-volvement in the project will foster new features.

“This is very much a first step,” Austin said. “It’s by no means complete, but we’re working on it. Hopefully as the popularity of it grows, it will entice people to get on board.”

Austin said programmers, while desired, aren’t the only ones welcome to help out.

“We’re looking for anyone who wants to contribute to the project,” Austin said. “It is an organized effort, but this is one

o f t ho s e projects where basi-cally who-e ve r h a s some ideas or ta lents a n d t h e willpower to help out can do so.”

I n a d -d it ion to seeking

direct involvement from stu-dents, the group also encour-ages user ideas for new services and tools, which Austin said is vital to the project.

“If more people are talking, that’s a good thing,” Austin said. “We’re more than will-ing to listen to anybody, and we would love to hear student feedback.”

Students can submit feed-back on the mobile website to the group’s e-mail account at [email protected], but can also tweet to the group’s Twitter ac-count at ncsumobile.

{ }OUR VIEW

The way students access and search for infor-mation fundamentally

changed when the first-gener-ation iPhone arrived in stores on June 29, 2007.

Instant access to streaming video, news and all manner of other data became a new-found necessity for millions of America’s newest smartphone users.

As the number of BlackBerry and iPhone users grew, the market recognized a demand for Web content that was specifically tailored to these devices.

Applications and specially designed Web sites sprang up like green shoots from an ir-rigated field.

In response to the increased demand for a mobile-friendly version of the NCSU Web

site, the Office of Information Technology created an effec-tive and unique Web site, N.C. State Mobile Web.

The site, which can be ac-cessed at m.ncsu.edu, is in its developmental stage but is already up and running with many valuable tools for the student body.

A campus directory, news feed and Wolfline tracking system are already available on the site.

Stan Martin, OIT’s director of outreach, communications and consulting, anticipates that even more services could join the site gains exposure.

He said it’s just a founda-tion right now, but has seen interest from several campus

organizations that could join in the future.

During the project’s design process, the designers sought student cooperation and built the site to address student needs first.

Martin said the team found some inspiration in an iPhone application produced by Duke University, but decided that a mobile friendly Web site pro-vided the designers with more flexibility and growth poten-tial for the time being.

This is the sort of thoughtful draft process that should be modeled for the University’s mobile-style applications, and for the University in general.

Instead of working out of a directive from above, the de-

partment approached the task from a student perspective and came up with an effective product in just a week.

Martin said OIT was excited about the site, which launched Sept. 3, and was optimistic that links from the library and other student organizations could be incorporated.

The Web site is still in devel-opment and is a little rough along some of the edges — notably in the Wolfline track-ing feature, which is a little subpar when compared to Transportation’s Transit Vi-sualization System. But it is a great start and should be com-mended for its well-thought student approach.

This is a cool feature and should only get better with time — show us more guys.

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.

Mobile is the futureTHE FACTS:N.C. State Mobile Web came online Sept.3 to provide smartphone users with a friendlier alternative to the University Web site. The site arose from a combined effort between students and the Office of Information Technology’s designers.

OUR OPINION:The mobile Web site is a great step in the right direction and should become students’ choice for university news and information as it evolves from its developmental foundation.

N.C. State needs you to reach out

Editor’s Note: The author is the outreach and communications coordinator for the University Sustainability Office.

After reading the edito-rial in Technician on Sept. 8th, I thought

this was a perfect opportunity to clarify some points on N.C.

State’s com-m it ment to being a better environmental steward.

To begin, it seems there is confusion as to what a green-house gas in-ventory is, how

it fits with the Climate Action Plan and where the University is in the process of reducing its climate impact.

The recently released 2008 GHG inventory is the first accounting of NCSU’s car-bon emissions (campus’ car-bon footprint) and acts as a benchmark of its GHG over the course of one year. A GHG inventory quantifies data but does not lie out the plans for reducing or eliminating emis-sions. Jeff Hightower, direc-tor of utilities infrastructure, organized the GHG inventory with the help of two student interns and input by a myriad of departments and campus ex-perts. Now that the University knows the baseline figure, cam-pus will begin formulating the CAP to identify and evaluate feasible and effective policies and programs to reduce GHG emissions.

I also think there is some confusion when it comes to direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions. The informa-tion within the 2008 GHG inventory is divided into three scopes; Scope 1 covers direct emissions and Scopes 2 and 3 address indirect emissions. This does not mean that only emissions attributed to Scope 1 contribute to the University’s carbon footprint. On the con-trary, all three scopes must be considered when evaluating the University impact, just as development of the CAP will lie out productive strategies that reduce emissions from all three scopes.

One thing that was of great concern for me while reading last Tuesday’s editorial is the suggestion that students can-not help reduce our climate

impact any further. We are at a very important moment in the history of mankind and our students can, and must, lead the change needed to move the University forward.

The University has the op-portunity to lead not only the state, but the world, in developing solutions to some of our toughest climate and energy problems. Call me an optimist, or an idealist, but I think the University is uniquely positioned to be a global leader for the new economy. As recent events and plenty of data show, the status quo will not sustain the population. Where better to develop the new model but at a university positioned at the heart of one of the fastest grow-ing cities in the country?

Yes, we have work to do. I am not trying to say we are perfect. We need to develop more mul-tidisciplinary curriculum to better train the workforce of tomorrow and engage future students. We need to upgrade some of our infrastructure and buildings. We need to en-hance our communications to better share what occurs on this vast campus. However, we are already undertaking some very impressive steps. We are conducting research that could fundamentally change the way people live and work. Take a look at the FREEDM Systems Center. How about the Center for Environmental Farming Systems? These are leading edge research and ex-tension projects that, by their very nature, will help citizens be better stewards of the our community.

Energy and transportation account for 87 percent of the University’s greenhouse gas emissions. Everyone on cam-pus uses both of these daily. If everyone on campus can be more efficient in both areas, campus’ carbon footprint will be reduced. The University is planning projects to deal with some of the largest emission sources, however, on their own, these projects will not be enough. Personal action and innovative ideas by students are in the best interest of everyone.

The Campus Environmental Sustainability Team (CEST) is looking for student ideas and involvement on the CAP; please contact the University Sustain-ability Office with your thoughts at [email protected].

Examining the death penalty

It’s unfortunate that capital punishment no longer grips the atten-

tion of the public the way abortion or gun control

does. Accord-

ing to a yearly Gal-lup poll on attitudes toward the death penalty, two-thirds of Ameri-

cans support it — at least in theory. Yet it poses an extremely important ques-tion: are we collectively willing, through govern-ment action, to put an end to a person’s life for pun-ishment and deterrence of future crimes?

If the idea behind capi-tal punishment is not an “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth” but deterrence of future murders, then can we take the punishment a step farther?

Suppose that in a hypo-thetical country, B-merica, a man named Jim robbed a woman, Jane, at an ATM and then shot and killed her because she saw his face and could thus identify him. Jim is then quickly apprehended due to the cameras at the ATM and the DNA evi-dence at the scene; there is no doubt he is the murderer. Jane’s family is rightfully devastated that their loved

one was taken away in an act of violence that can never be erased.

The typical punishment in America for Jim would be death by lethal Injection, which is about as peaceful a death as one could hope for. It just so happens that in B-merica, in-stead of lethal injection, the punishment is that one of Jim’s parents is put to death while he spends the rest of his life in prison.

A t f i r s t this sounds frightening a nd b a c k-ward. It was J i m’s ow n fault that he ki l led Jane, how can B-merica do this? What if it turned out that due to the threat of this punish-ment, murders rarely occurred. People who had previously been so consumed with anger that they were able to disregard personal safety and their future to commit murder were able to step back and change their be-havior, due to the fact that their decision would jeopardize the life of someone they love.

The founders of B-merica argued that since murder is by definition a senseless act of violence, it must be repaid by a senseless act of violence. They also believed that in their so-ciety it is the parents’ duty to raise their children and their responsibility to teach them right and wrong. The result is

that parents take better care of their children and the ones who need psychiatric help are able to receive it before they commit crimes.

What if this situation worked? Would you go along with it? It seems to me that it is a natural extension of the logic behind capital punishment. For those of you who support our death

penalty, ask your-selves: since I am OK with the state sponsored murder of a g u i lt y person to deter

crime, would I be OK with state sponsored murders of a guilty person’s parent if it was shown that it actually deterred future murders? Your answer to this hypo-thetical situation is critical. Do we as a society value or-der and safety over human life? How much would we have to sacrifice before we, as a society, became the guilty ones?

E.S. King Village, an on-cam-pus apartment complex, hosts many international students and visiting faculty, as well as those with families. But what sets E.S. King Village apart from other University Hous-ing establishments is the quiet atmosphere, the strong sense of community and a lush garden, according to Tim Blair, asso-ciate director of University Apartments.

On the west side of the prop-erty, a plot of land is available for anyone wanting a garden of his or her own. Blair said this feature attracts residents to the apartments, which are west of Wolf Village.

“The demand is not so great that we have 40 people lined up, but we have people come in the very first day the plots are made available, and in the first week we have most of them gone,” Blair said. “The folks that use them tend to come back year-to-year.”

Blair said they tried to make the pro-cess of attain-ing a garden plot as easy and sensible as possible.

“ I t g e t s plowed and quartered off. We break it down into different siz-es, so folks with a family can get a larger plot, or a person in a studio apartment can garden a smaller plot. We then send an e-mail out to the community to

see who is interested in renting. Usually, we have things ready around late February and resi-dents rent through December so they can put in a spring and summer crop and a fall crop,” Blair said.

The 20 plots available for rent range in size from 24 feet by 48 feet, to the 12 feet by 30 feet. Rent for these plots ranges be-tween $15 and $25, depending on the size of the plot, to help cover the cost of plowing.

I n ke e pi ng w i t h t he University”s commitment to environmental conservation, the University’s waste and recy-cling program delivers compost made from the leaves picked up across campus to help fertilize gardens.

The village also provides a garden shed to store tools and materials, as well as a nearby pavilion to encourage enjoy-ment of the greenery.

Because E.S. King Village has a strong tie to the interna-tional community, the gardens

reflect the di-versity of the residents, and many are not native to the United States.

“With such a high inter-national com-munity, you do see veg-etables that you wouldn’t normally see in an Ameri-can garden, like different

lintels or squash. It’s fun to see how the different cultures use the space. Because these are smaller plots, there’s a lot of mixed use -- tomato plants

in the middle of bean plants -- and instead of rows, the plots tend to be planted more in squares with a border around it,” Blair said.

One enterprising gardener even trained beans onto a trel-lis that hangs over the walkway between plots to maximize the available space.

Gaiping Chen has lived and gardened at E.S. King for the past four years while her hus-band finishes his degree in plant pathology. She grows vegetables native to China, in-

cluding long beans and bitter melons.

“Bitter melons are a health food that is very popular in China,” Chen said. “If you feel very hot or have ulcers in your mouth, these can help. We couldn’t buy them in the American stores.”

While describing her sum-mer garden, Chen gave a melon to an E.S. King Village office employee with instructions on how to make bitter melon soup.

The garden is so important to the residents that they end up looking after other plots and try their best to protect them.

“We have our challenges,” Blair said. “We sometimes have situations where nonresi-dents get into the garden and take ripe fruit or vandalize the crops. But there are enough people keeping an eye out to report when that happens.”

Community Operation Co-ordinator Arthur Sweeney is a new addition to the E.S. King Village staff, but despite be-

ing here only a few months, he already knows how important the gardens are to the residents.

“It’s what sets us apart from any other community you’ll f ind,” Sweeney said. “Even when I was interviewing here, it was a very visual indicator of

our mission we have as a de-partment to put students first. You can see our values clearly walking through the commu-nity and the gardens help show that.”

Gardens brighten E.S. King Village

amanda karst/technicianPeppers are just one of the variety of plants that grow in the E.S. King Village garden plots. Residents rent out plots of the garden to grow fruits or vegetables for consumption or for show.

amanda karst/technicianResidents planted a cornucopia of plants in the gardens of E.S. King Village. The garden often has plants from all over the world because the apartment complex houses many international stu-dents.

to stop. I just want to do all that I can to keep [this op-portunity],” Cain said.

Springthorpe compli-mented Cain on how hard she has worked to get to where she is now.

“I’ve seen an improve-ment in Tanya over the last eight months since I got here in the spring, from the physical part of her game, being fitter than she was, her mentality and trying to move forward with the ball,” Springthorpe said.

Senior defender Katie Ruiz agreed, saying Cain always works very hard to improve.

“I have the upmost re-spect for Tanya, on and off the field. She is so dedicated to everything she does,” Ruiz said. “She’s one of the hardest workers on the team in my opinion.”

Ruiz also said Cain’s play-ing style helps her in her role with State.

“I don’t like to defend her in practice. She’s a very te-nacious player and you can’t ask for anything but the ef-fort that she gives. She’s a great girl and a great team-mate,” Ruiz said.

And if the Pack, which has compiled a 5-1-1 record, keeps rolling along, Cain thinks this season could open up even more oppor-tunities for the entire squad.

“We are looking a lot bet-ter this year than we did last year. I see us progressing so much more,” Cain said. “I think we have a really good opportunity to play well in the ACC.”

as it faces defending national champion Maryland Saturday night.

Through scoring his second goal of the season, Sanchez said he wanted to be an example for his younger teammates.

“I’m just trying to leave a good example in my last year

for the [younger] guys,” San-chez said. “I have to do the best I can.”

As for Smith scoring his first goal, Bouemboue expressed his excitement.

“It’s always good for young guys to get their experience,” Bouemboue said. “In games like this, we are going to try to let the younger guys shine. Mi-chael Smith was the guy today. Hopefully down the line he can help this team out a lot.”

Tarantini said it was impor-tant for him and his staff to get inexperienced players some game time in the rout.

“We have a good group of young kids who are the future,” Tarantini said. “Michael Smith scored his first goal, that’s huge for him. He’s a local guy, we keep building towards the fu-ture.”

The Wolfpack, which car-ries a 4-1 record, has now won its last nine games against the

Camels, including a record of 13-1-2 in games played in Ra-leigh.

The team will now play two games against ACC opponents. The Pack will face Maryland on Saturday at 7 p.m. and Virginia Tech Sunday, Sept. 27.

Even after succeeding in their goal of shooting un-der 300 all three rounds, the team knows it still has a lot to work on in order to get to the level other teams are have hit.

“We definitely know we need to continue to work and practice even harder, because we see what the level of competition has risen to in college golf,” Baker said. “We really need to go out there and post some extremely low scores, so we are going to have to set some new goals and just go out there and try to tighten everything up and shoot even lower next time.”

Women’s soccer player Tanya Cain is settling into a prominent role for the Pack

Samuel T.O. BranchSenior Staff Writer

Women’s soccer player Tanya Cain has excelled so far in first year coach Steve Springthorpe’s offense. The sophomore forward has tal-lied four goals and one as-sist while starting all seven games to begin the season.

But Cain knows she didn’t get to where she is now all in one night. At one point, she wasn’t sure she could make any impact on a team.

“Confidence has always been a huge issue with me. People around me always say ‘you can do this, you can do that,’ but person-ally, I didn’t really feel that at all,” Cain said.

Even though Cain has done well in every level of soccer she has been in to this point, including be-ing a four-year captain at Pinecrest High School and scoring 171 goals and tally-ing 69 assists during her ca-reer, she just wasn’t sure she could make the next step.

“I got the opportunity to come [to N.C. State], but I still didn’t really feel like I would make a difference here,” Cain said.

During her freshman season, Cain played in 20 games, but didn’t log a large number of minutes. She mainly functioned off the bench for the Wolfpack.

Cain said this didn’t help her confidence level.

“I played, but I didn’t play that much. It still kind of sat with me wrong,” Cain said. “All these girls coming from high school were stars on their team, and to come here and everyone is just as

good as, if not better than you ... I really didn’t feel like I had a role my freshman year.”

However, Cain seems to have found her niche under her new coach. She has become the main target forward in Spring-thorpe’s offensive system.

“She’s in a tough position with us as the lone forward. That’s really what she is in the system that we play. We’re ex-pecting a lot from her,” Spring-thorpe said.

Cain said her family played a big role in helping her mature into the player and person she is today.

“I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for them,” Cain said. “They care about me doing my best.”

A part of that family involve-ment came from her older brother Brandon. Cain said she always looked up to Brandon, who always played sports, and went to North Carolina A&T to play collegiate baseball.

But Brandon suffered an injury which prevented him from continuing his baseball career, an event which Cain took to heart.

“Just seeing him injured and seeing how he wants to be on the field makes me take my opportunity here even more preciously. I don’t want to take it for granted because I’ve seen him get injured and have

Senior duo leads soccer over Camels

david mabe/techNiciaN File photoForward Tanya cain attempts to dribble the ball past the camp-bell defense at an away game monday, Aug. 24. cain scored the first goal of the game in the seventh minute.

In the opening tourna-ment for the fall season, the women’s golf team took 11th place out of 18 in the Duramed Cougar Classic at Yeman Halls Golf Club in Charleston, S.C. The Pack finished with a total round of +29 lead by junior Brooke Baker and senior Emily Street. The Univer-sity of Georgia won, which posted a -14, the 54-hole tournament.

“We were pleased about t h e e n -gagement we saw, the ef fort the players put in and the chemistry t he tea m showed,” coach Page Marsh said. “We were con-sistent, but we all saw stretches w he re i t could have been better. That is what every season is about, seeing where you have problems and work-ing toward fixing it. I feel good about what I have seen in the fall and the outlook for the future.”

Baker, who was playing her first tournament as a N.C. State athlete since she transferred from the Uni-versity of Tulsa, shot a +4 to lead the Pack, which put her in a tie for 25th.

However, it was not her golf game that impressed Marsh -- it was her confi-dence and composure that she showed on the course.

“[Baker] played very con-sistent, and her demeanor on the course is she stays very in the moment,” Marsh said. “While she will say she is very frustrated, she can come right back with a funny remark. So she has the ability to diffuse tension on the course, which is important.”

Street also played a solid tournament, shooting a +8 and tying for 39th. including a final round +1, which moved her up 13 places from the pre-vious day.

“I started off really rusty,” Street said. “I hadn’t played a tournament round in a while since summer school, so I didn’t start off too well. But I eventually got into the flow of things and got into a rhythm

and start-ed playing back in my form at the end of the season.”

Going i nto t he tourna-ment, the team had a main goal of shoot-ing under 300 com-bined each round.

But the final standings did not go the way the team be-lieved they would.

“Our team did really well. We played a really good tour-nament, but it’s just the fields have gotten really tough now, and it’s so competitive,” Street said. “We expected to shoot un-der 300 each day, and we did, and we thought that we would place well by doing that but the scores have just gotten so low.

After a 2-1 loss to No. 3 UNC Saturday, the No. 23 men’s soccer team returned home to take on Camp-bell University. The team bounced back and crushed Campbell, 5-1, off a four-goal sec-ond half.
