Public places closed in
Beijing
‘0 ln an effort to combat the spread of SARS in China, the Beijing government ordered the tem—
porary closure of public places on Sunday.
Cinemas and libraries have been closed,
Catholic churches have cancelled masses and
many citizens are choosing to ride bikes through
the city to avoid public transportation.
Beijing officials are in the process of securing
a 98-acre plot of land in the city’s suburbs for
quarantine use.
The Chinese Ministry of Health reported 2,914
cases of SARS on the mainland on Saturday,and
the World Health Organization reported 4,836
cases worldwide with 293 deaths.
South Korea urges North
to give up nuclear arms
After communist North Korea told U.S.officials
it has atomic weapons and the ability to create
more, South Korea urged North Korea Sunday
to destroy them.
South Korean Unification Minister Jeong Sehyun said the countries’ 1991 agreement to be
nuclear-free was a”cornerstone"ofthe relationship between them,and North Korea’s violation
of this declaration poses a threat.
The North’s state-run news agency issued a
statement saying,”The DPRK [North Korea] will
be left with no option but to do everything to de—
fend itself unless the U.S. legally guarantees no
use ofarms including nukes against the DPRK.”

U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld met
~ Sunday with leaders from the United Arab Emirates as part of his Middle East tourto brief leaders and thank troops.
Also taking part in the talks is U.S.Army GeneralTommy Franks. Franks, who was head of the
war in lraq, said lraq's former deputy prime minister Tariq Aziz has been answering questions
since he was taken into custody Thrusday, but
officials cannot tell if his responses are truthful
or not. Franks also said there is still no evidence
that lraqi leader Saddam Hussein is alive, and
his fate remains unknown.
Later this week, Rumsfeld will stop in

The Roanoke Rapids textile mill operated by
WestPoint Stevens Inc., which manufactures tow- ’
els, will close this summer, laying off 320 work—

The plant is known as a historical icon because
it is the site ofthe first major unionized textile mill
victory in the South, and it was the inspiration for
the 1979 film ”Norma Rae,”for which Sally Field
won an Oscar.
”Ifthere was ever an icon ofthat industry,this

computer security specialists
whose job is to research and prevent at—
tacks against our nation’s computer networks and infrastructure — are housed
at NC. State.
And with Thursday’s opening of a new
research unit called the Cyber Defense
Lab, NCSU is helping to write a new
page in the book of computer security.
“[It] puts the university at the forefront of cyber protection,” said William
Tharpe, head of the computer science
department.
He noted that, out of roughly 100 computer security specialists around the nation? about 10 of them have set up residence at NCSU.
But the lab will not just be a milestone
for the university. It is part of a larger, collaborative effort by the federal government, homeland seCurity agencies and the
nation’s top research universities to make
sure that cyber crimés are prevented. A
crucial role in a post-9/11 society that
has the eyes of U.S. intelligence and security agencies constantly vigilant of terrorist threats.
The new lab, located on Centennial
Campus, is equipped to house close to 30
graduate students along with their faculty advisors in addition to the equipment
needed to perform cyberdefense re—
search.
Douglas Reeves, S. Purushothama Iyer
and Peng Ning —- three graduate professors from the computer science de—
partment — and roughly 20 of their
graduate students will move into the lab.
In addition, Ting Yu, a graduate ofthe
University of Illinois will also join the
team of researchers here at NCSU with
an as yet unspecified number of his own
graduate students.
“This is not a traditional lab in the
sense that many students might think
of,” said Reeves.
Although those working in the lab will
obviously have computers set up for their
work, the computer lab will not be accessible to the general student body. For
the sake of maintaining a controlled research environment, access will be generally limited to the research team.
The exception to that rule, according
to Reeves, is that students within the
computer science curriculum would be
allowed to use some of the equipment in
the lab to conduct controlled experiments on security-related projects.
Before the creation of the lab, each of
the professors and their students were
scattered on different parts of NCSU’s
campus conducting their research. This
new facility will allow them to work
more closely.
Reeves points out, however, that even
though there is a limited number of fac—
ulty members and students moving to the
facility, they will still work with other
faculty from the computer science department who are also doing research
in computer security.

At that point, young Wozniak
was enveloped by the wonders of
invisible electrons flowing in a
manner he controlled.
Through successive science fair
and hobby projects he quickly
earned a reputation as a shy “electronic genius” among his high
school peers. It was soon quite
obvious to his teachers that he
was something special. One
teacher, seeking partly to further
Wozniak’s interests and partly to
get him away from other students,
whom he knowingly instructed
to wire projects so they would immediately catch fire, directed him
to Sylvania to spend time programming a computer — whatever that was.
There, Wozniak saw his first
computer, an IBM 1170 capable
of computing an instruction
every millionth of a second. He
was entitled to run any program
he wished and wrote a program in
Fortran to determine a method
of moving a knight piece about
a chessboard, landing on each
square exactly once.

wildlife and plant populations.
According to Will Rowland of
the Wake County Audubon Society, some of the more unique
bird species utilizing the forest
are “scarlet tanagers, yellow-billed
cuckoos and several ofthe vireos,”
all of which use this forest as
breeding and nesting habitat in
the summer. Because these birds
migrate, their loss due to development here has a direct impact
on another ecosystem in a differ—
ent part of the world.
Other components of the
ecosystem are deer, beaver, fox
and two species of winter stone—
fly.
Iames McNutt’s master’s thesis

stoneflies are especially impor—
tant because they are not nor—

Other areas of research and education oriented around the
hardwood forest and ridge tops
on the southwest shore of Lake
Raleigh focus on aquatic natural
history, invertebrate zoology and
soils.
“The age and size of this forest

Wozniak, though skeptical of

uine personal computer in 1977,
encasing all of its hardware in a
plastic case. It could produce color graphics, and it included builtin RAM, ROM, floppy disks and
speakers among a list of other
computer firsts.

have hard-to-recycle parts
Tom Avril
Knight Ridder Newspapers
PHILADELPHIA -— In giant carshredding machines such as the
one near Philadelphia’s Platt
Memorial Bridge, America’s old
clunkers are efficiently reduced
to chunks of valuable steel. Mag~
nets pull the steel one way, so it can
be melted and made into new cars
or other products, and everything
else goes the other way.
Yet lately, to the dismay of those
in the recycling industry, the na—
tion’s piles of “everything else”
have been getting bigger. It’s a case
where the solution to one environmental problem has led to an—
other.
A growing portion of the typical American car is made of plastic, in part to achieve better gas
mileage. But when those lighter,
more fuel-efficient vehicles head
to the junk heap — typically
more than 10 million cars and
trucks a year — the plastics are
often too much trouble to recycle.
Bumpers, seat covers, door panels each is typically made from
a different type of plastic. Dashboards alone contain dozens of
different resins.
“There’s no really economical
way to either separate it out, or
there’s no vendor who would
want that material, so off to the
9 landfill it goes,” said Bob Garino,
commodities director for the
Washington-based Institute of
Scrap Recycling Industries.
The pile of stuff left over after
steel is removed —— called auto—
motive shredder residue, or
“fluff” — contains plastic, foam,
glass, dirt and nonferrous metals
such as copper and aluminum.
Estimates vary widely, but fluff
accounts for up to 25 percent of
the weight ofa car, or up to 5 million tons a year.
The metals can be removed and
sold at a profit. Not so for plas—
tics, which usually can be made
more cheaply from raw materi—
als. Instead, companies such as
SPC Inc., which operates the
6,000-horsepower shredder by
the Platt Bridge, have to pay to
get rid of it. When it reaches the
landfill, fluff serves a purpose.
Many states, including Pennsylvania, which imports more
trash than any other state, allow
layers of fluff to be placed on top
of the day’s haul of regular trash,
thereby minimizing odors and
airborne debris. California, on
the other hand, classifies fluff as
a hazardous waste, in part because
it may contain small amounts of
dangerous metals such as mer—
cury.
In any event, landfilling isn’t the
ideal solution, said Fred Cornell,
the environmental and safety di—
rector at SPC, which also grinds
up old refrigerators and other ap—
pliances. “You save electricity and
water” by recycling materials,
Cornell said. “You don’t need the
landfill space, which saves the
land. You don’t have the trans—
portation cost of moving it to a
landfill. It really is something that
impacts a lot of areas.”
Government officials and au—
tomakers are starting to address
the problem. The European
Union has mandated that by Ian.
1, 2006, 80 percent by weight of
junked cars must be reused or recycled, a figure that‘is to rise to
85 percent in 2015.
Starting in 2005, all new vehicles
on the European market must be
reusable or recyclable at a minimum of 85 percent by weight.
U.S. automakers have worked on
ways to solve the problem, both independently and in partnership
with the Argonne National Laboratory.
There are two general types of
solutions. Manufacturers can develop technologies to separate the
plastics after old cars are shredded.
They also can “design for recycling” —— that is, design their new
cars with fewer plastics that are
more easily separated.
Swedish automaker Volvo, for
example, contends that its new
sport—utility vehicle is 85 percent
recyclable. Gerald Winslow, manager of the recycling program at
DaimlerChrysler, cautioned that
automakers do not wish to restrict materials to the extent that
designers can’t meet customers’
needs for comfort, style and function.
Proponents note that aside
from allowing for lighter, more
fuel-efficient cars, plastics don’t
rust, they cost less, and they can
be safer. DaimlerChrysler’s recy—
cling group focuses on how best
to separate types of plastics. One
option is to heat the combined
plastics and separate out those
that don’t melt.
Another option under study is
called “froth flotation,” said Edward ]. Daniels, a section man—
ager at Argonne, outside Chicago.
The technique takes advantage of
the fact that water adheres to
some plastics better than others.
The mixture of plastics can be
placed in a water solution. Air
bubbles are then introduced, and
theyattach to some types of plas—
tic more readily than others, causing them to float for easy separation.
“We all believe that a single
technology is not going to give us
a complete solution to the problem,” Daniels said. Then there’s
the option of turning the waste
into energy by simply burning
the plastics — which are, after all,
made from petroleum or natural
gas. But that solution can have
problems as well, especially if the
plastics are contaminated with
toxic metals.
Kevin Mills, a policy expert who
has studied the issue at Environmental Defense, a national nonprofit advocacy group, acknowl—
edged that the push for fuel effi—
ciency led partly to the fluff issue. But solving one environ—
mental problem need not have
created another one; cars should
be designed with the end of the
road in mind, he said.
“It’s typical for the auto com—
panies to react to environmental
issues on a piecemeal basis,” Mills
said. “If you haven’t thought
about the design issue, you’re going to have a lot more problems
on the back end.”
Some automakers are starting
to restrict their designers to fixed
lists of materials, instead of allowing each car to be designed
from scratch, he said. In the
meantime, the fluff accumulates
at shredders such as SPC, tumbling down chutes into large piles.
“A lot of it is just waste that has
no beneficial use,” said Cornell,
the company environmental and
safety director. “The goal should
be: You shred a car, and every bit
of the waste has some purpose.”

Well, for many
Stafl‘Columnist
other student
leaders and myself, Tom Stafford has
done just that, by inspiring greatness in
students and challenging them to face
adversity.
Stafford has served as vice chancellor
for student affairs since 1983. As vice
chancellor, he is responsible for the wel—
fare ofalmost 30,000 students and every—
thing from University Dining to the
Women’s Center.
Stafford began his tenure at NC. State
in the 19605, starting as Head Residence
Counselor of Owen Hall (today we call
them Resident Directors or RDs). Since
then Stafford has mentored, taught, tu—
tored and trained literally thousands of
students. But, most importantly, his lead—
ership has had an effect on the experience of every student who has walked
the halls of NCSU, even though most
never knew.
The “Silver Fox,” as many students affectionately call Stafford, advised me
when I served on the UNC Board of
Governors. But he is much more like a fa—
ther than an advisor to me. I am not
alone in my admiration for Stafford; just
walk the halls of Witherspoon Student
Center and you will hear his praises.
That is why I am excited to announce
the creation of The Thomas H. Stafford
Community of Excellence. This award
will be given each year to NCSU’s most
learn how to write
A recent report by the National Com—
mission on Writing in America’s Schools
and Colleges, a board convened by the
College Board, showed that almost 50
percent of 11th graders are writing unsatisfactorily.
According to the study, 2002 SAT verbal scores were less than 1 percent better
than the verbal scores in 1983. The board
recommends that secondary school
teachers put major emphasis on writing
in all of their classrooms. The general
consensus is that writing has essentially
become a secondary component in public education. Therefore, it is absolutely
necessary that NC. State take these factors into account as it once again overhauls its Freshman Writing Program.
In Fall 2003, the current ENG 1112
class will become two four-hour courses: ENG 100 and ENG 101. ENG 100 will
only be for students who made 470 or
below on their SAT verbal scores, and
students making 480—690 will only take
ENG 101, which the ENG 100 students
will also take pon completion of their
first class.
. Students with higher verbal scores and
high AP English exam scores will be eligible for automatic credit.
The English department explains that
the new program is like those of other
Research I universities, but NCSU has
different needs than, say, Duke. We have
a larger student body and more diversity in test scores. It is wrong to assume
that, because Duke needs one freshman
writing course, NCSU needs only one as
well.
Many NCSU students remember ENG
1 11 and 1 12, which were mandatory for
incoming students with average or be—
low-average test scores. While many stu—
dents may not have enjoyed taking two
writing courses, this was actually the best
method for preparing students for their
future careers.
Writing connects all the NCSU curricula because it is something every field
requires. Chemistry students write pa—
pers describing their research. Engineers
draft proposals to obtain funding. No
matter what the field or profession,
everyone has to write at some point during the day.
The school is trying to give students
with more severe needs in English the
ability to take two courses, but these
placements are based on the SAT verbal
score, which reflects more about vocabulary and reading comprehension than
writing abilities.
The SAT will add a writing section in
2005, but until then there is no way for
NCSU to judge, without AP English test
scores, whether a student is a competent
writer. Without better gauges of writing ability before enrollment, the university will be unable to accurately assign
students to one route over the other. Requring two writing courses of everyone
eliminates the possibility of overestimating the talents of some or underestimating those of others.
A two-course system for the Freshman
Writing Program is the most logical solution. Making students write consistently for two semesters is a beneficial
practice that can only help them become
more confident writers.
Further, freshman English courses are
wonderful at getting students to mingle
with people from different colleges;
they’re among the few courses that a wide
breadth of students must take. Adding
a second would only contribute to the
diversity ofideas and people freshmen are
exposed to.
Finally, the university already requires
all students to take two science courses
with labs; one could certainly argue that
a chemistry major will make as much
use - if not more — of a second writing
courses as an English major would of a
botany or chemistry class.
When the SAT incorporates a writing
section, then NCSU will have a better
ability to judge a student’s writing abil—
ity. But if the commission is correct and
many high school upperclassman are
poor writers, then it is absolutely necessary right now for our university to go
against its peers and provide two mandatory writing courses for its freshman.

Pack turns two
The N. C. State baseball team took two ofthree gamesfrom
North Carolina and still hasn’t lost an ACC series this year.
Jay Kohler
Senior StaffWriter
For the weekend matchup between archrivals North Carolina and
NC. State, the fans in the stands definitely got their money’s worth.
Many fans, however, were unable to witness the series victory for
the Pack with Doak Field’s currently small seating section sold out.
Those who made it to the games early found out quickly why State
truly belongs among the nation’s elite baseball teams.
The Wolfpack took down 22nd—ranked Carolina 3-2 on Friday and
8-6 on Saturday before dropping Sunday’s finale 12-6. The win con~
tinued State’s streak of six consecutive series victories, dating back to
_
'
a season-opening 2-1 series loss to UCLA.
With the weekend wins, State moved to 36-10 on the season and 13—
5 in the ACC. The Tar Heels fell to 33—14 overall and 11—7 ACC.
“We played really hard,” said shortstop Chad Orvella. “That’s about
all we can ask. This was another big series, and we did what we want—
ed to do, which was to come in and win at least two out of three and
_
we feel pretty good about it.”
Orvella was one of four pitchers State used on Sunday. The loss,
however, went to starter Colin Brown (0—1), who pitched only 2 1/3
innings and was shelled for six hits and seven runs.
UNC used more pitchers than State had hits Sunday, sending sev—
en to the mound during the game. Michael Gross (2—1) was award—
ed the win after pitching the seventh and eighth innings to near-perfection, giving up no hits or walks and striking out two.
State managed only six hits in the contest to go with its six runs. That
total was bolstered by Orvella’s second

sixth and a two-run seventh, State looked
poised to make a run. However, the Pack
just wasn’t able to get that clutch hit it
desperately needed.
“I thought Gross was outstanding,” said head coach Elliott Avent.
“When they were trotting all those guys in and out, I think everybody in our dugout thought that this was over, not just me, everybody
in our dugout felt like this was over and that we were going to win.”
The Pack just missed its best opportunity of the day in the sixth ‘
inning when catcher Colt Morton lined a two—out offering to right
field with the bases loaded. Unfortunately for Morton, it was right at
outfielder Sean Farrell, and the Pack would get no closer than one run
the rest of the afternoon.

“I think Carolina thought we were going to win, too,” said Avent.
