As Executive lOirector, he is responsible Ito the Board of Trustees land the state legislature for [the day-to-day management of the school and for steer ing school policy. He is "where the buck stops" at NCSSM. Since his arrival, NCSSM has added weighted Grade Point Averages, examined the concept of adding a sophomore class, revamped the discipline and hearing process, and for the first time this year charged a Student Fee. In addition, major changes have been made in student life, including modifi cations to the Physical Education program and the addition of Supervised Study. Dr. Boarman is very focused on gaining political and financial support for the school from the state. He has clearly expressed his goal of making NCSSM the nation's top specialized Science and Math high school. Every Monday he meets with either the Junior or Senior class to discuss school issues, and can often be found at games and events or working in his office in First Watts. Out of the Bubble Director of Academic Programs Dr. Steve Warshaw At the core of the NCSSM experience is the rigorous aca demic atmosphere.

He is available in his office on the ground floor of Watts. Director of Student Life Dr. Joan Barber .One thing that makes INCSSM unique is its strong Icommitment to student jneeds and interests.

The school is currently hiring for a Head of Residential Student Services. Dr. Barber's office is immediately to the right after entering Bryan Lobby, looking out on the NCSSM Memorial Garden. She can usually be found either in her office or walking to and fro on campus. Emily Currin Those who love and honor Science and Math also realize the limitations imposed when living at a boarding school, without a car, surrounded by quirky, yet occa sionally intensely geeky people. "Out of the Bubble," found in every issue of The Stentorian 2001 - 2002, is a helpful list of places to eat around campus, sporting events to check-out, concerts, and the occasional corny dating idea-anything that can get you out of NCSSM. Music Spots There are many places around the triangle to catch new and upcom ing bands (sometimes the con certs are not minor friendly, so you may want to make sure): Cat's Cradle- (Carrboro, min utes from UNC); fun, inexpen sive, and crowded; mostly local bands The Ritz- (Raleigh) large venue; occasionally mildly famous peo ple play there The Lincoln Theatre- (Raleigh) lots of local bands and sometimes a rising star or two Alltell Pavilion at Walnut Creek- (Raleigh) only big names play here, so it's pricey, but worth it if you can get a ride Amphitheater at Regency Park- (Cary) hosting John Mayer and the Indigo Girls soon Durham Alive!- (Durham Bulls Athletic Park) local bands, but a lot of fun. 5:30-7:00 PM Thursday, Aug. 29 Good Eats Elmo's Diner- affordable, close, and you will always see a S&M'er there; it's Cheers without the bar atmos phere The Cosmic Cantina- cheap and filling; possibly the best Mexican food ever and a favorite of NCSSM George's Garage- slightly expensive, but trendy and fun. Offers a lunch buffet, a sushi bar, and different varieties of food, but occasionally the service is bad and the restaurant a tad stuffy. NY Pizza- it's just pizza, plain and simple. Offers bread sticks, calzones, strombolis, pizza by the slice or whole, and soft serve ice cream. Cinelli's Pizza- pizza, stromboli, etc.; cute waiters & a hunky, Italian chef Jimmy Johns- a sub shop with lots to offer & delivery. EI-Rodeo- located within Brightleaf Square; typical Mexican food Bine Com Cafe- less "mexican-y" Latin American food; great for vegetarians International Delights- middle-eastern food; reviews for the restaurant are good, but from the outside it looks a little run-down Cafe Parizade- located in Erwin Square- too expensive for the normal student Magnolia Grill- all types of specialty cuisine; again, a place your parents should take you Cool Treats Ben & Jerry's- earth friendly and there's a good chance you'll see a Duke basketball player. Good ice cregm, but if you are expecting your mint chocolate chip ice cream to be green beware, they do no use food coloring or many preservatives. Francesca's Dessert CaK- coffee, gelatto, and desserts within a great atmosphere. Mad Hatter's- fabulous cookies, pretty cakes, coffee and hot choco late-new location now offers breakfast and sandwiches The essence of Ninth Street- a Cosmic experience. Elysa Wan NCSSM Trademarks The LOOP- it hits places like Brightleaf Square, Northgate Mall, and The Streets at South Point. It's well worth the ten to forty minute wait and you really get to bond with your classmates as you sit on their laps or five to a bench seat. Keep in mind that the short bus is not the sexiest vehicle to pick up ladies in. School Dances- You might think they're lame, but you have to go to a few at least. There's the T-shirt Signing Dance, the Halloween Dance, Winter Semi-Formal, Prom, End of Year, and usually a few more random dances thrown in there, too. Movie Nights- there are movies almost every weekend on campus. They range from classics, to new releases, to films produced by our very own NCSSM stu dents. Premium Night- the PFM doesn't get any better then this. On this night the cafe teria ladies whip out the fresh lettuce, the real beef, and the ice cream sundae. The lines will be long, but it's worth the wait. Dating Ideas First, obey the two week rule. After that you can try these out. Build a Bear- it's located at The Streets at South Point. This store allows you the opportunity to pick out a body, stuff it with love and fnendship, and choose an outfit. It's too cute for words. Oval Park- it's a short walk from school and it's where you really can be a kid again. Picnics- around campus or on a Duke lawn; it doesn't get much more romantic, but if you are going to have a picnic do it right. That means a little basket, some fruit, cheese, and sparkling cider. Don't foiget a blanket! Remember, that to have a good date you do not need a lot of money. Just be cre ative. Think of a silly game to play (Truth or Dare, Twister, 100 Questions), or paint a masterpiece in the art studio-just do something different, and it will be fabulous.
