Dollars and Cents may signal end to Slater sandwichesby Cash RobertsNews EditorAnother “dollar and cents” decision may be looming on the horizon concerning the sale of Slater sandwiches at the Student Supply Store snackbars.Last week Chancellor John T. Caldwell said the move to give ARA Slater the sandwich contract two years ago had not been a good decision. Caldwell was receptive to a suggestion by student leaders of a possible switch in sandwich suppliers, and added that such a decision would be a “management decision.”The company, now called ARA Services, has been the sole supplier to campus snackbars since the office of Business Affairs ordered a change in the Spring of 1970. It was termed a “dollar and cents” decision by that office.

Business students write award-winning paperby Colin HickeyAfter working on a class project for an entire semester, a group of business students had only two days to generalize a 50-page report.But the work paid off. For their work, the students were awarded first-place honors in the 2001 Donald W. Fogarty International Student Paper Competition – a national achievement. The six students, who originally wrote the winning paper for the university’s operations and supply chain management program, had to generalize the report because it contained potentially sensitive specific information about three companies with corporate partnerships with N.C. State, said Michel Diab, a co-author of the report.

Wolfpack leave Carolina in the redby Steve ThompsonCHAPEL HILL- For one night at least, N.C. State turned the baby blue Dean Dome Wolfpack red.State used an early 12-2 run to take control of Wednesday’s game early on, and the Tar Heels were never able to regain the lead as the Wolfpack held on for a 77-59 win, its first in Chapel Hill since 1998, breaking a streak of seven straight Carolina wins.The Pack (15-4, 5-2 ACC) continued its stellar road play, winning its fifth straight road game, three of which came in ACC play. A sea of red, however, replaced the normal road atmosphere, as many Pack fans made the pilgrimage to Chapel Hill in anticipation of a State victory.”It was a great feeling – something special,” said Anthony Grundy. “I’ve been wanting to win here since I stepped into an N.C. State uniform. To get the win in my senior year is real special.”
