In defense of Red TerrorAs the Student Government official that has organized Red Terror this year, I want to address several things mentioned in yesterday’s Viewpoint about Red Terror.  First, the bus company (First Transit) invoices Student Government on a fixed hourly rate from when the bus leaves the yard to when it returns to the yard, regardless of if the bus is in service.  So providing a continuously operating bus is no more expensive than not providing the service.   We decided to have one bus continuously operate because there were some students who wanted to return to campus after kickoff.  For example, if a student does not have their ticket scanned within fifteen minutes after kickoff, their ticket is voided and opened for the standby line.  If these students decide to return to campus, they will be able to ride Red Terror back.  As the Viewpoint article said, these changes are being made to benefit the students and we will continually make adjustments to Red Terror to provide the best possible service. Tim Lipka,senior, political scienceSustainability a worthy campus cause The editorial “What is sustainability’s piece of pie?” draws generalized conclusions that miss a large potential for enhancing campus sustainability. 53 percent of campus greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from electricity purchased from utilities. Emissions from electricity consumption are portrayed as indirect in said article, but these emissions are not so indirect. Progress Energy supplies this energy as a result of demand. If NCSU did not demand as much energy, Progress Energy would produce less electricity. GHG emissions would therefore be reduced. The editorial points out areas where efficiency gains are possible (heating, cooling and lighting) yet claims that the remainder of GHG emissions is unavoidable. Clearly if the University installs more LED lighting and refines heating and cooling protocols, GHG emissions will be reduced. The editorial suggests that the Office of Sustainability is now irrelevant since the University has successfully reduced direct GHG emissions to the best of its ability. This was based on their definition of indirect. But how do the editors make this assessment when the 2008 GHG Inventory is the first time an inventory has been conducted? The editors correctly identify this statement as opinion, but falsely insinuate that it is based on evidence. Furthermore, the Office of Sustainability does more than catalog GHG emissions. Campus sustainability involves a multiplicity of aims from reducing water waste to increasing recycling. The Office of Sustainability serves as a crux of coordination, information, and participation for these ongoing projects.Jesse Hendersongraduate student, natural resources Campus Police proud to keep fans safe While the article on Wednesday concerning security at home football games was well written, the sub-headline and reference to Raleigh Police and the identification of an Campus Police Lieutenant as a Raleigh Police Officer did a disservice to the men and women of Campus Police.  While Campus Police appreciates the assistance and work of the Raleigh Police Department,  the responsibility for the planning, staffing, coordination, supervision,and even insuring officers are paid rests with the members of Campus Police  Security for a home football, and especially one like last Thursday night’s ESPN opener represents a challenge for both the police department and the athletic staff.  With all of our games sellouts, the NC State Police department  have to plan for the attendance  by  some 60,000 fans, who flood  area parking lots with over  15,000 cars.  Campus Police employs members of the Raleigh Police Department, the Wake County Sheriff’s Department, and Wake County City-County Bureau of Investigation to assist us in providing police/security services for our home football games.  Depending upon the time of day and opponent, 80 to 110 police officers will be working at least some aspect of security inside and outside the stadium in an effort to provide a safe environment for our fans. These officers are supervised by, and responsible to,  Campus Police Home football games are fun and a source of pride for the Wolfpack nation, and  members of Campus Police are proud to be a part. Chief Tom YounceCampus Police
