New tax law to increase cost of meal plans Jason Katz Deputy News Editor

Students who have a meal plan will soon be paying more for food, as a new state tax law will raise the cost of dining on campus. The new law, which will take effect Jan. 1, forces N.C. State, as well as all other universities in North Carolina, to charge sales taxes on all food—even for students who have meal plans. C a mpu s E nt e r pr i s e s , the umbrella group that includes University Dining,

NC State Bookstores and Trademark Licensing, had not anticipated the change in tax structure. “Well, it was definitely a surprise because, in the 30 years that University Dining has been in existence, we don’t have any record of ever having to charge tax,” sa id Jen n i fer Gi l more, director of marketing and communication for Campus Enterprises. The Commuter Plan will be the most affected by the law change. In this plan, students pay $750 to obtain dining dollars, which are used to

buy untaxed food on campus. Nex t semester t he advantage of this plan will be diminished substantially. “When we created the Commuter Meal Plan this past year, one of the attractive pieces to that was the tax-free feature,” Gilmore said. “So of course we were disappointed when the legislature chose to take that incentive away.” In addit ion to t he commuter plan, the new tax law will also raise the final price of food for students with any other meal plan. According to Gilmore, any new student who chooses to

live on campus in his or her first year is required to have a meal plan. She estimated that there are currently about 9,100 students with meal plans at N.C. State, and about 3,500 of those are required. Gov. Pat McCrory signed the bill into law in July with the intent of simplifying the tax structure and lowering both individual and business taxes. The bill will introduce a flat individual income tax of 5.8 percent in 2014, and be lowered to 5.75 percent in 2015.

Students challenge UNC-System stance on in-state tuition for immigrants Paula Gordon Deputy Bienvenidos Editor

If you do well in school and receive good grades, you can go to college. This is the simple mantra that students hear again and again in middle and high school. However, for some Latino students growing up in North Carolina, things aren’t that simple. According to the National Immigration Law Center, “only about five to 10 percent of undocumented young people who graduate from high school go on to college, compared with about 75 percent of their classmates.” As a result of this, Emilio Vicente and Pablo Friedmann began the One State One Rate campaign to, which advocates for in-state tuition at UNC-Chapel Hill to apply to students who are in the country ille-

gally in North Carolina, but who meet the residency requirement. Currently, these students pay outof-state tuition at all community colleges and public universities in the state. On Sept. 17, the campaign held a press conference at UNC-Chapel Hill and delivered petitions to the chancellor. Since then, the campaign has made it to local news sources in Spanish and English, and made headlines in the Huffington Post. The question is not whether Latino students from lower incomes want to attend college—it is the fact that they cannot afford it. Action for Children in North Carolina estimates that in 2008, the median household income for Latino students enrolled in pub-

The American Bar Association has proposed to make major changes in the legal education system that might allow future lawyers to take the bar exam without attending law school or a four-year college. The report says college costs, rising student debt and changes in jobs available to graduates are reasons for the proposed reform. The proposal also includes training for people who do not have a law degree so they are able to perform limited legal services. The bar association will discuss the draft at its 2014 meeting. The report recommends that law schools should terminate the 45,000 minutes of class time required to graduate, and it also suggests law students shouldn’t receive credit for paid legal work. According to Sharon Gaskin, an associate dean of Admissions for the Elon University School of Law, the legal education system needs to be reformed because of how expensive it is for students,

“Humanities and arts Ph.D.s grow in popularity” A story that ran under the headline “Humanities and arts Ph.D.s grow in popularity” on the front page of yesterday’s issue included a chart that tracked national – not N.C. State-specific – trends with regard to the number of students enrolling in various doctoral programs in 2012 as compared to 2011. The information in that chart was taken from the Atlantic magazine article referenced throughout the story; the source of the data should have been noted on the chart. N.C.

Scientists work toward conservation breakthrough Travis Toth Author

A major goal proposed at the 2010 Convention on Biological Diversity— to preserve 60 percent of the world’s plant species by protecting 17 percent of the land—may be a realistic goal according to a team of international scientists. Clinton Jenkins, a principal research scholar in biological sciences at N.C. State, has been working with researchers from Duke University and Microsoft Research to determine whether the goals of the existing global conservation agreements can be reached. “The other goal was simply to identify those

with a straight face that our state has enough job opportunities to support the number of attorneys who are being licensed each year. The law schools could poll their graduates and they will find that a significant number of them are unemployed or have simply taken jobs in other fields.” According to Leonard, st udent s should be requ ired t o at t end a third year of law school. However, the third year of law school should be spent by hands-on work at clinics, which would allow students to develop practical skills that will t r a n s it ion i nt o t hei r practice. Leonard said there are a lot limited legal services people can per for m w it hout going to law school. L aw f ir m s, whet her small or large, generally have legal secretaries and paralegals performing a significant amount of work, Leonard said, and in his experience, that work includes scheduling events, drafting letters to opposing counsel, drafting certain documents and speaking to clients about matters of general concern.

areas, which are the most important for plant conservation … the places that need protection if we are to keep most of these plant species from going extinct,” Jenkins said. Because some of the Earth’s endemic species are located in potentially unstable places, the effort to preserve the environment needs to be global, according to Jenkins, whose work with the project emphasized creating color-coded maps to highlight the crucial areas in regards to plant conservation. “It’s kind of hard to expect a country that has most of its population in poverty to go about protecting diversity just because the rest of the world would like to see it protected. Globally, everybody needs to share in that

burden,” Jenkins said. This type of preservation research benefits the environment by allocating the limited resources going toward environmental conservation to the highest impact areas in terms of plant conservation, according Jenkins. “It’s a way of targeting our efforts so we can prevent the most things from disappearing as possible [and] recognizing that we’re already losing some species and we’re going to lose more in the future,” Jenkins said. While some conduct research to help with the preservation of the environment, Lara Pacifici, an assistant teaching professor of conservation biology at N.C. State, contributes by teaching future generations the practices necessary for environmental

conservation. “Teaching students to value what’s around them, and their natural environment, and how to manage and conserve it so that it’s there for generations to come is really critical given the rapid change that’s happening in our global environment right now,” Pacifici said. The Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology teaches students the ecology of different species and how to manage and conserve them, according to Pacifici. “Students also learn about policy and communication because communication and getting your point across are huge in a field like this,” Pacifici said. Globa l involvement is necessary to protecting the

environment, Pacifici and Jenkins said, and today’s various methods of interaction, including social media, have helped inform the public about environmental conservation. “Some scientists have been really successful in getting the word out about the cool things they’re doing to conserve by using Twitter and Facebook,” Pacifici said. By using Internet communication, citizen science, or research conducted by up and coming scientists via crowdsourcing or similar methods, has become increasingly resourceful in recent years. Roland Kays and other researchers at N.C. State have made use of citizen science in their work, according to Pacifici.

Students read from banned books Stephanie Milosh correspondent

N.C. State students celebrated their freedom to read at N.C. State’s third annual Red, White and Banned event Tuesday in honor of National Banned Books Week. NCSU Libraries and Alpha Psi Omega National Theatre Honor Society hosted Red, White and Banned to protest schools, bookstores and libraries that have banned books in the United States. Eight actors and a pianist highlighted scenes from seven works to an audience of about 75 people. “A lot of people don’t know many of the books that are banned,” said Diana Quetti, a senior in communication who helped organize this year’s event. “I think it’s really important to appreciate them even though they may be a difficult topic to read through, because they’re obviously an important part of our libraries and of our schools.” Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 to celebrate controversial literature by recognizing

that each piece contains truth about our culture. Since 1982, more than 11,300 books have been banned, many in an attempt to protect children from subjects of sex, profanity and racism. The first event was a reenactment from Matilda, Roald Dahl’s popular children’s book that was frequently banned in the 1990s for depicting child disobedience. A scene was performed by Quetti and Brittney Stinnett, a sophomore in management. Quetti chose Matilda because she grew up reading the novel and was surprised to find that it had been banned. “I loved the character of Matilda and her adventure and her courage and how daring she was, but [for] how smart and of course how brilliant she was as well,” Quetti said. “I think she was such a great character that to highlight those themes in this piece would be a great choice.” Quetti wasn’t the only performer who chose to address children’s books. Sarah Thornton, a junior in zoology, performed a monologue from Bridge to Terabithia, which was banned for promoting witchcraft and violence.

Diana Quetti, senior in communication, performs a scene “Naughty” from the show Matilda the Musical. This performance was a part of Banned Books Week which occured in Thompson Hall on Tuesday, September 24, 2013.

Antrone Burke, a senior in religious studies and president of Alpha Psi Omega, sang the song “Left Behind” from the play, Spring Awakening, which was banned for addressing abortion, child abuse and teen suicide. “For a lot of the people that chose their scene, they related to it in some way,” Burke said. “I’m sure with every other scene, everyone can say something like, ‘Oh, I can relate to that, and that’s a part of my life,’ which is

why these books need to be exposed and read.” D.H. Hill set up a small stand in the theater library where the books could be checked out. Quetti and Burke agree that books will continue to be banned but that does not mean they should not be read. “A lot of people don’t know there is a National Banned Books Week, so we really wanted to highlight that and let people know it is still a current topic,” Quetti said.

Video game ‘crafts’ better minds MINECRAFT FOUND TO BE A LEARNING TOOL FOR GAMERS OF ALL AGES Sasha Afanasieva Staff Writer

Minecraft, a video game where users can build almost anything using textured cubes, is gaining a reputation as being not only fun, but educational. In a blog post earlier this month, The New York Times discussed Minecraft’s role as a learning tool. The post cited education experts, such as Joel Levin, co-founder and education director at the company TeacherGaming. Levin said the game can be used to educate people about science, city planning and speaking a new language. S.R.I. International, a Silicon Valley research group that specializes in technology, conducted a study and found that video games in general can increase cognitive learning

Corporate income taxes will also be reduced during the next two years, first from 6.9 percent to 6 percent in 2014, and then to 5 percent in 2015. Eventually, if revenue goals are met, the corporate tax could go as low as 3 percent. CNNMoney.com said that the hope is that sales taxes collected from the growing economy will compensate for the $2.4 billion in lost revenues f rom t he new reforms over the next five years. These sales taxes will be partially paid by the N.C. State students that were previously exempt. Arda Cole, a sophomore in engineering, is currently living on campus and has a meal plan.

Minecraft has also shown to increase spatial and reasoning skills in children, an MIT study conducted by Eric Klopfer found. The game involves building large, 3-D structures with blocks while also trying to avoid monsters. These structures can become quite large and complicated, and many users have made life-size versions of famous designs such as the Titanic or the Taj Mahal. Minecraft can also emulate circuitry using a built-in application called “redstone.” This circuitry can

He said he intends to shop at a grocery store and cook from his apartment to save money. Gilmore said that the University does everything it can to keep prices low and competitive, but there are a lot of expenses that must be covered. Additionally, she said that N.C. State is still more competitive than other schools in the area. “I think we’re lucky that we’re going into this with attractively priced meal plans,” Gilmore said. Gilmore said that it’s a university mandate for all of the Campus Enterprise programs on campus to support themselves and then help supply financial backing to the University. “At the end of the year, we

Gilmore said that administrators from Campus Enterprises are still looking into what they are going to do about the Commuter Meal Plan. She said that the main incentive now is the ability to purchase the dining dollars directly from the cashier’s office, or have it covered through financial aid.

basic logic gates work and has made me think very constructively into how to solve problems to build machines. Being a computer engineer major, that means a lot,” Wetherington said. According to Wetherington, a logic gate is a function that performs a logical operation using one or more inputs to produce a single logical output. It is often used

when making integrated circuits and in other types of circuitry. Players in Minecraft can use logic gates to build and automate things such as a clock or a calculator. Wetherington said he’s built a working clock and a drawbridge that automatically closes at night among other creations. Minecraft offers players the ability to design and build virtually anything, giving users an unlimited space for creativity and learning. “I play Minecraft because it’s a game that isn’t set in stone and you make it into what you want it to be,” Wetherington said. “It’s different

than other games because you don’t have any set goals, and you’re free to create what you want.” Aside from offering the ability to create anything, Minecraft also boasts a large “modding” community that has created plugins that do almost anything from changing the texture of the blocks to adding brand new content in game. Minecraft also has many servers, which offer people the option to build and work together to create even bigger and more complex structures, creating a collaborative learning tool, Klopfer said to The New York Times. For Wetherington, the possibilities are endless. “In my personal experience, it’s the best game I’ve ever played,” Wetherington said. “You become attached to the world you’ve created and there are always new possibilities of things to build or explore.”

New law forces University Dining to charge tax 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.

he North Carolina General Assembly passed a tax reform bill this summer that will directly impact university dining plans on college campuses. House Bill 998, signed by Gov. Pat McCrory on July 23, will force universities to charge a 6.75 percent tax on food starting Jan. 1. Meal plan prices will not increase for the spring semester but the taxes will still apply, meaning students will get less food out of their meal plans. The cost of meal plans rises every year, but because of the new tax requirement we can expect a larger increase than usual for the 2014-15 year. In our eyes, this bill effectively kills dining dollars and the new commuter plan because they will no longer be able to offer their primary benefit—tax free food. Jennifer Gilmore, director of marketing and communication for Campus Enterprises, said the next main benefit of the commuter plan is that

students can have it billed directly from the cashier’s office through financial aid rather than having to write a check. People w it h commuter mea l plans currently pay $8.75 for dinner at a dining hall, but with the 6.75 percent tax tacked onto university dining food the walk-in price for dinner at Fountain Dining Hall or Clark Dining Hall will increase to $9.34. In the 30 years of University Dining’s existence, there is no record of ever having to charge a tax according to Gilmore. This is probably because there has not been a tax overhaul as extreme as HB998 in the past 30 years. The General Assembly snuck in the new food tax on a bill that also decreased personal and

corporate income tax. Beginning Jan. 1, personal income taxes will decrease from 7.75 percent to 5.8 percent while corporate income taxes will fall from 6.9 percent to 6 percent. In 2015, personal income taxes will drop to 5.75 percent and corporate taxes will decrease to 5 percent. Republican backers said income tax cuts will help the economy because “people will have more money to spend,” according to the Fayetteville Observer. But while the income tax cuts proportionally save upper class citizens more money than lower class citizens, the supplemental food tax charges everyone the same amount. The General Assembly is taxing college students’ meal plans, among other food sales,

to make up for the projected $86.6 million in revenue that North Carolina will lose in 2013-14 due to these cuts. It makes more sense to charge taxes proportionally according to income rather than implementing widespread taxes on a necessary commodity. The legislature has already passed several new bills this year that directly disadvantage college students financially. HB998 increases our food costs while Senate Bill 667 imposes large fees on the parents of students who register to vote in a different county than the one of their home address. If the legislature was so concerned about money, it should have considered this projection: Throughout the next five years, state revenues are expected to have lost more than $2.4 billion according to CNNMoney.com. The legislature is clearly aware of this, but by implementing HB998, it has further demonstrated its commitment to making the rich richer.

The Republican Party’s image problem

he latest damage to the Republican Party’s image in national politics should probably be attributed to the threat that House Republicans made to shut down the government by defunding the Affordable Care Act In North Carolina. The Republicancontrolled legislature a nd goverZiyi Mai Staff Columnist norship provoked t he Moral Monday protests by tearing down years of progress in public education, tax policy, racial equality in the courtroom and access to the ballot, according to The New York Times editorial board. It seems that every time there is a standoff in Congress, the public stands by the Democrats, labeling Republicans and their old-fashioned ideas as troublemakers. The public and mainstream media often paint the Republican Party as an unloving, anti-gay, anti-immigrant, stubborn party with old principles. There is no doubt that part of this image problem is a result of the liberal media attacks. Most major outlets in the United States today overwhelmingly dislike Republicans, employing disapproving tones when they write news and selecting facts that are not in favor of the Republican Party. Readers who are not aware of the backgrounds of the media outlets are more likely to be misled and not see the whole picture of the news. Even with that said, media bias doesn’t share all the blame of Republicans’ image problem. The Republi-

{

IN YOUR WORDS

can Party does have serious internal issues when voicing its opinions to the public. Peter Robinson, host of the Hoover Institution’s TV show “Uncommon Knowledge,” interviewed Jeb Bush, former governor of Florida. The Republican Part y “[has] become too reactionary,” Bush said. “We have not been as positive, offering concrete proposals that are based on the principle that future is incredibly bright.” But the problem is not that sticking to its principles is too reactionary—in fact, the Republican Party has some great principles such as limited government, individual liberty and moral standards that are consistent with the traditional ideals that made the U.S. a great nation. But the demographic has been changed during the past two decades. Traditional supporters of the Republican Party are southern, white, evangelical Christians. Republicans’ principles and ideas are influenced by Christianity and classical liberalism for which John Locke, David Hume and Adam Smith laid the foundation. Republicans, especially tea party Republicans, tend to arm themselves with these powerful ideas and incite woe in the public, but they forget this is no longer the Enlightenment Era. Republicans’ principles are less likely to survive in a nation where the number of people believing in God is decreasing. Heavily influenced by liberal mainstream media and other countries’ worldviews, Americans have begun to look abroad for examples, abandoning their traditional faith. Most atheists and pagans don’t think aborting a baby after 20 weeks is mur-

der if they don’t believe in God in the first place. From their point of view, opposing gay marriage, abortion and big government is seen as nothing more than an old-fashioned and reactionary position and anti-liberty, whereas Republicans regard it as the right thing to do to prevent people from performing evil acts and defend innocent lives. The connection between Republicans and the majority has been breaking since more Americans started adopting other worldviews. The Republican Part y would have garnered the support from libertarians that are a rising force since the economic recession in 2008. Republicans and libertarians are allies by nature because, if nothing else, both oppose the fiscal expansion of the government. However, strong resistance among the Party remains because some Republicans despise the idea that government doesn’t have the right to regulate social and moral issues, which libertarians believe. If Republicans want to restore the popularity that they had during Ronald Reagan’s time, they must start by educating the youth about why their ideas and principles trump their rival Democrats and how these principles have made the U.S. stand out and will keep doing so. Winning voters who are non-white Christians doesn’t require loosening the ground of principles. The most important strategy is sending the public good messages rather than adding more restrictions and rules without compelling persuasion.

CAMPUS FORUM

Letter to the editor in response to ‘Humanities and arts Ph.D’s grow in popularity’

}

I write to address inaccuracies in your front page story, “Humanities and Arts Ph.D.s Grow in Popularity,” that are surely confusing readers. Your reporter contacted me to ask my opinion about a recent article in The Atlantic about national trends involving Ph.D. programs in humanities. In the Technician article, the observations I shared are inaccurately applied to humanities Ph.D. programs at N.C. State. For example, one sentence reads, “[Braden] has seen a steady increase in the number of Ph.D. programs in the humanities and arts at N.C. State as well.” As I well know, CHASS—and N.C. State—has just one Ph.D. program affiliated with the humanities, our interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Communication, Rhetoric and Digital Media. Enrollment in this program has been steady, neither increasing nor decreasing. Placement for graduates is

at 100 percent. Our second humanities Ph.D. program—in public history—will come online in 2014. N.C. State has no doctoral programs in the arts. There are other places in the article where answers I gave related to national trends are erroneously applied to N.C. State. For example, many universities offer such classic Ph.D. programs as medieval English or ancient history, for which The Atlantic article says there are diminishing career opportunities. N.C. State offers none of these types of classic humanities Ph.D. programs. Thanks so much for correcting these points.

Más Allá de la Pantalla Hablando se entiende la Jaquilinne Murillo Corresponsal

El video “Latinos Beyond the Reel” se trata sobre la manera en la cual los Latinos son vistos en las películas de Hollywood. Es obvio que hay diferentes estereotipos sobre los Latinos, personalmente yo nunca me había puesto a pensar en el hecho que estos estereotipos son mostrados tanto en las películas. Después de ver el video me puse a pensar en el hecho que tiene que haber alguna razón por la cual estos estereotipos existen y aún más porque salen en las películas producidas por Hollywood. Otra cosa en la cual me puse a pensar es si hay maneras en las cuales nosotros como Latinos en los Estados Unidos podemos cambiar la manera en la cual Hollywood nos muestra. También es importante pensar en el hecho que es posible que diferentes cosas que hacemos sirven para alimentar los estereotipos que ya existen contra nosotros. El enfoque del video es mostrar escenas de películas de Hollywood que muestran a los Latinos de maneras que alimentan a los estereotipos que existen contra nosotros. Hay muchas películas que son

utilizadas en el video, una de las que más me llamo la atención es una que mostraba a Pancho Villa como un borracho, ignorante y criminal. En nuestra opinión esta película ofendió a un héroe mexicano. Pero peor aún, hace que la gente que ve la película piense que los Mexicanos tenemos como héroes a criminales. En el video un actor que critica esa película explica como su papá le tuvo que explicar a él que Pancho Villa no era así. Películas como ésta son las que hacen que la historia de los Latino Americanos sea malinterpretada, haciéndonos ver como lo que no somos. Aunque es cierto que los estereotipos que vemos en las películas nos ofenden tenemos que pensar en el hecho que existen por alguna razón. Tiene que haber personas que hagan hecho o siguen haciendo lo que los estereotipos indican, o sino los estereotipos no existirían. Otro ejemplo que sale en el video es el hecho que las mujeres Latinas siempre son sirvientas, este estereotipo es la realidad de muchas mujeres Latinas, lo cual lo hace muy ofensivo. Esto sirve como ejemplo para que veamos que los estereotipos existen por alguna razón. Lo malo,

es que en las películas no se explica la razón por la cual Latinas son sirvientas, solamente son mostradas como sirvientas que no hablan inglés y muchas veces son maltratadas por sus patrones (quienes muchas veces son americanos.) Últimamente, es importante que nosotros como Latinos en Estados Unidos trabajemos juntos para cambiar la apariencia que otras personas tienen de nosotros. Necesitamos trabajar juntos, como la comunidad que somos, para mostrar que esos estereotipos que tienen contra nosotros no son verdad. Somos un grupo de personas con mucho talento, pasión y determinación; lo único que necesitamos hacer es trabajar juntos para mostrarle al mundo que no todos somos lo que los estereotipos dicen. Necesitamos comportarnos como queremos que otros vean a nuestra gente. Donde quiera que vayamos llevamos con nosotros nuestra historia, y a la vez dejamos nuestra historia en ese lugar. Así que de ahora en adelante es importante que representemos nuestra cultura y nuestras raíces con respeto y amor.

gente: Bombas y dichos Kathleen Oliver Corresponsal

“Si la vida te da limones, haz limonada”. Cada cultura tiene una gran variedad de frases utilizadas comúnmente que significan más que la traducción literal. En el mundo moderno, ha incrementado nuestra habilidad de comunicarnos entre culturas. Individuos de todas partes del globo se pueden conectar con otros diariamente y mantenerse en contacto, todo a pesar de las diferencias en culturas y la barrera del lenguaje. Con todo este avance, una cosa se mantiene constante. Esto es, el uso de dichos que atan nuestra historia con el hoy en día. “Bombas” y los dichos ayudan a mantener y preservar la cultura. En la cultura hispana hay muchos elementos que se unen para crear uno solo. Lo más reconocido es la cocina culinaria, la historia y el deporte. En Costa Rica, sin embargo, la cultura no sería lo mismo sin las bombas. “Bombas”, o también conocidas como “dichos” en otras partes, son frases utilizadas a lo largo del tiempo. Las bombas de originan de la provincia de Guanacaste

de Costa Rica. Esta provincia perteneció a Nicaragua, pero en los tiempos de violencia, Guanacaste pidió unirse a Costa Rica. Las bombas han tenido muchos roles, desde expresar emociones, experiencias o también para atraer a otras personas interesadas. No importa dónde vayas o qué lengua hables, todos tenemos dichos con los que hemos crecido. En México, los dichos tienen un papel importante en la vida de los niños. Éstos son utilizados por padres para enseñar lecciones de la vida o demostrar la importancia de cosas. Un dicho popular dice que el conocimiento es más valioso que cualquier otra cosa. “El conocimiento es plata entre los pobres,oro entre los nobles y una joya entre los principes.” Junto al resto del mundo, Costa Rica ha desarrollado y ha empezado a tener avances tecnológicos en las últimas décadas. Debido a esta transformación, muchos componentes de la cultura se han quedado atrás. Por suerte, la gente de Guanacaste ha permitido mantener la tradición de las bombas en pie. No importa el lenguaje, los dichos tienen una manera de impactar las vidas de las

personas en maneras inimaginables. Tienen una manera de trascender en el tiempo uniendo a las personas. Aunque sean cortos y dulces, dichos tienen la capacidad de convertirse en parte de nuestras memorias más grandes. Incluso nos pueden enseñar la importancia de la risa. El que ríe último,ríe major. Como especie, los humanos han avanzado magníficamente en los últimos cien años. Y mientras seguimos yendo hacia adelante y crezcamos, siempre habrá algo que nos conecte al pasado. Por eso, tenemos que mantener nuestra cultura e historia junto a nuestros dichos o “bombas” u otras variaciones. Sea en inglés o en español, la gente tiene una manera de hablar en frases que tocan nuestros corazones. Para Costa Rica, la más importante es “Pura Vida”. Literalmente hablando no tiene el mismo significado que lo que representa emocionalmente. Sirve para saludar o despedirse de alguien, para desear bien o incluso para expresar alegría, “Pura Vida” es el más claro ejemplo de las bombas de Costa Rica.

Estudiantes desafian la postura del Sistema UNC sobre la matrícula estatal Paula Gordon Editor Asistente de Bienvenidos

Si vas a la escuela y obtienes buenas notas, puedes ir a la Universidad. Éste es un mantra que los estudiantes oyen una y otra vez en la escuela superior. Para algunos estudiantes creciendo en Carolina del Norte, las cosas no son tan simples. De acuerdo al Centro Nacional de Inmigración Legal, “sólo entre 5 y 10 por ciento de los jóvenes indocumentados que se gradúan de colegio van a la universidad, comparado con el 75 por ciento de sus compañeros de clase”. Es por los jóvenes indocumentados que Emilio Vicente y Pablo Friedmann empezaron la campaña Un Estado, Una Tarifa en UNC-Chapel Hill, que advoca por una tarifa de estudiante dentro del estado para estudiantes en Carolina del Norte que cumple con el requisito de la residencia. El 17 de Septiembre, la campaña dio una conferencia de prensa en UNCChapel Hill y llevó las peticiones al rector. Desde que la campaña empezó hace dos semanas, la historia ha sido transmitida en medios en español e inglés, y estuvo en los titulares del Huffington Post. La cuestión no es si los es-

Additionally, 73 percent of Latino students live in lowincome housing as opposed to 43 percent of students of other nationalities. For out of state students and for those N.C. residents without legal residency, tuition and fees alone cost $21,661 at N.C. State this year. Because of their legal status, these students are ineligible to receive state or federal financial aid in the form of grants or loans. Furthermore, many private scholarships require proof of legal residency in the United States. For these students, the impossible cost of attending N.C. State or any other UNC-System school as

tudiantes latinos de pocos ingresos quieren ir a la Universidad; es el hecho que no pueden darse el lujo. “Action for Children in North Carolina” estiman que en 2008, la media de ingresos de familias latinas inscritos en escuelas públicas fue $31,621 comparado con los $53,000 para el resto de sus compañeros. Para los estudiantes fuera del estado y para indocumentados residentes en NC, el coste en N.C. State es de $21,661 al año. Debido a su status deciudadano, estos estudiantes no son elegibles para recibir ayuda financiera por parte del estado en la forma de subvenciones o préstamos. Más allá, muchas becas privadas requieres prueba legal de la residencia en los Estados Unidos. Para estos estudiantes, el coste imposible de estudiar en N.C. State u otra universidad del sistema de UNC como estudiante de otro estado o sin ayuda financiera termina por destruir el sueño de perseguir una educación mayor. Emilio Vicente, uno de los fundadores de la campaña, se considera muy afortunado por poder estudiar en UNCChapel Hill. “Debería de ser accesible para los estudiantes latinos y por eso es que estamos haciendo la campaña,

queremos hacer que UNC y otras universidades increíbles sean accesibles para otros indocumentados. Pablo Friedmann trabaja con estudiantes todos los días como profesor de matemáticas, consejero y especialista en la prevención del abandono. En el Daily Tar Heel, escribe que sabe de “numerosos estudiantes talentosos, cuyos sueños de continuar su educación mayor se han quedado cortos por el triste hecho de que serían cobrados como estudiantes fuera del estado, un problema financiero imposible para sus familias”. Como una subvención f undada principa lmente por el estado, salta la pregunta, ¿Debería N.C. State permitir que los estudiantes indocumentados puedan estudiar en la Universidad? Actualmente,las guías por el sistema de UNC en la admisión de indocumentados tiene 5 limitaciones, la más importante siendo que un indocumentado sólo puede ser considerado para la admisión si se graduó de una escuela en los Estados Unidos. Las limitaciones añaden que los estudiantes no pueden recibir ayuda financiera. Temprano este año, la Asamblea General propuso la petición de ley 904, que

an out-of-state student without any financial assistance shatters dreams of a higher education. Emilio Vicente, one of the founders of the campaign, considers himself very lucky to be able to attend UNCChapel Hill. “It should be accessible for Latino students and that’s why we’re doing the campaign,” Vicente said. “We want to make UNC and other incredible universities accessible to other undocumented people.” Pablo Friedmann works with high school students on a daily basis as a math teacher, counselor, and dropout prevention specialist. “Numerous talented students whose dreams of continuing their education are cut short by the sad fact that they will be charged out-ofstate tuition, an impossible

financial hurdle for their families,” Friedmann wrote in The Daily Tar Heel. As a land-grant institution funded primarily by the state, it begs the question, should N.C. State allow these students to attend the university at all? Currently, the guidelines set by UNCSystem on the admission of these students has five limitations, the most important one being that a person will only be considered for admission if he or she has graduated from a high school in the United States. The limitations add that students cannot receive financial aid or be considered for in-state tuition.

cambiaría la política para permitir a estudiantes indocumentados calificados a recibir tarifas de residentes del estado. Desde que fue propuesto por el comité, esta ley no ha vuelto a ser discutida en la Asamblea General. Sería de gran ventaja para las universidades del sistema de UNC que cambiaran su política para los requisites de la residencia, si solo estos estudiantes pudieran cumplir los requisites de admisión, el-

los podrían darse el costo de atender a la universidad más fácilmente. Si se graduaran, estos estudiantes podrían tener la oportunidad de ser contratados por una compañía en los Estados Unidos, lo cual podría ayudarlos a crear un camino para conseguir la nacionalidad legalmente. Para muchos de estos estudiantes, sus carreras académicas son cruelmente cortadas, no por la falta de talento, sino por razones

económicas. La campaña Un Estado, Una Tarifa, si es aplicada en otras escuelas del sistema de UNC, tendría el potencial de cambiar las políticas estatales y podría facilitar que los estudiantes continúen su educación. “Con suerte alguien en las otras escuelas del sistema de UNC estén prestando atención y algo cambiará en sus campus”, dijo Vicente. “Al final del día, tendrá que pasar por el proceso legislativo”.

meant to solve any perceived problems, but to foster skills that prepare students for a somewhat biased workplace, according to Davis. “We’re defining intragroups as well as encouraging students to work across those groups with those who are different from themselves,” Davis said. The college helps students learn about real world disparities through coursework and through experience. Davis said she wants to help make women aware of companies that are receptive to gender differences. “As they’re looking for new job opportunities, they may want to be looking for places that are more sensitive to the needs of family and that sort of thing,” Davis said. “Maybe you choose the job offer from the company that has a history or a record of advancing women.” Dav is said t here are few companies who blatantly discriminate by the

grounds of one’s gender or sex, but it is likely that they do consider and make decisions because of prejudices. This is not beneficial for companies, according to Davis. “Business may be ahead of some other areas in recognizing that if they don’t capitalize on the skills that are available in all of the workforce, then they’re gonna be less competitive,” Davis said. Businesses and social clubs that close their doors to women become less competitive and only lose in the end, Davis said. “There are close-minded people out there who place barriers in our way because we are women, and part of what my commitment is, is to empower the women I work with to deal with it,” Davis said. “I can’t end discrimination and bias and bigotry, but I can help people prepare to deal with it.”

Nearly 30 years ago, a recently graduated woman sat in a chair opposite a much older man. He asked about her credentials, her degree and her experience. “Oh,” he said, “Such a cute young woman like you, you’re just going to get pregnant, and you would be no good to me.” T h e w o m a n ’s j a w dropped—her father was a high-up businessman at a company, and she knew such a comment was unacceptable in the business world. She left the interview knowing she wouldn’t take the job even if the company offered. That woman was Erin Dixon, the director of underg raduate prog rams for the Poole College of Management, which has a faculty comprised of 25 percent women. This sort of discrimination is not uncommon in the workplace and encountering it is a matter of when rather than if, according to Shannon Davis, an associate dean for undergraduate programs for the Poole College of Management. “But we do not see differences in male–female performances favoring males in college or academia,” Davis said. “If there’s any trend, it’s the opposite.” Davis said women tend to take an academic lead for any number of unknown reasons. It’s only once they graduate that the system seems to favor men. Preliminar y numbers show women occupy about 41 percent of student seats in the Poole College of Management. On the other hand, women lead only 4.2 percent of all Fortune 500 companies. Disparities such as this arise as people enter grad-

Club sports spotlight:Sailing club on the rise Daniel Wilson Staff Writer

The Technician has been shining a light on the club sports N.C. State has to offer. This week, the light will shine over the club that has been on campus longer than any other. The sailing club was started in 1954 and holds the title of the oldest active sports club on campus. “Tradition is a big part of the sailing club, so since we have that tradition, it is fun to celebrate it,” said Dana Magliola, one of the voluntary coaches for the team. Magliola is the chairman of the board of the SailPack Foundation and is the owner of BaerPoint Communications in Raleigh. The club has two major components: the Learn to Sail program and its competitive race team. The Learn to Sail program teaches students how to sail the club’s Flying Scots, 19-

foot dinghies. The program instructs the potential sailors about steering, managing sails and understanding the wind and nautical nomenclature. “You can come to State not knowing anything about a boat, and later on, you can be certified to sail a boat on your own, and that will be through learning how to sail with the club,” Magliola said. The race team, known as the Sail Pack, competes in the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association, a division of the Intercollegiate Sailing Association. The team is joined by 24 other colleges such as fellow Atlantic Coast Conference schools UNCChapel Hill, Duke, Miami, Florida State, Georgia Tech and Clemson. Davidson and UNC-Wilmington are the other schools in North Carolina in the SAICSA with the Sail Pack. The team fields teams for each regatta in twhe co-ed races and for the women’s

races. According to Magliola, this is the first year that State will field a women’s team for the regattas. Competitions are held throughout both semesters with a regatta each weekend. The race team practices on Wednesdays and Fridays at 2:30 p.m. on Lake Wheeler, and the meetings inside Carmichael are held prior to the Learn to Sail program meetings. Even though the club is the oldest on campus, the team had yet to win a regatta in ICSA competition until last Sunday. The Sail Pack travelled to Knoxville, Tenn. for the North Points No. 2 Regatta where it took first place out of 10 schools with a score of 20. Charleston finished in second with 21 followed by Clemson (26), regatta host Tennessee (32) and Vanderbilt (36). “Having a win not only helps us in the standings, but it shows us that winning is within our reach,” said

David Rogers, a junior in computer science and team captain. “I hope we’ll see N.C. State sailors with future wins just like it.” The Sail Pack has been to SAICSA championships in each of the past four seasons and is on pace go back and improve from its 11th place finish last season. The club also holds weekend sailing trips to places like Jordan Lake and Masonboro

Island. “They bring 20 to 30 students for basically a camping trip with boats,” Magliola said. The instruction takes place in Carmichael 2307 and at Lake Wheeler. The in-class meetings are on Thursday nights at 8:30 p.m. The cost to join the club is $95 per semester. For more information about the club and the team, visit sailpack.

cons on Oct. 31 in the final regular-season game for both teams. Stengel says it will be difficult to compete against her sister, especially given the fact that they played together in their youth. “It’s going to be tough,” Stengel said. “We always

played on the same teams growing up.” Despite her performance so far this season and her desire to make a name for herself, Stengel has not lost sight of the overall goal the Wolfpack has as a team. “I want to help us get as

far as we can and make the [NCAA] Tournament,” Stengel said. Stengel and the Wolfpack host No. 23 Virginia Tech on Thursday night. Kick-off at the Dail Soccer Stadium is set for 7 p.m.

Following 54 holes of play, the Wolfpack ended the tournament in 14th place among the 19-team field. State shot a three-round score of 906 (+42) at the competition, which was hosted at the Bayonet & Black Horse Golf Courses.

The N.C. State swimming & diving team was able to volunteer in the Swim Across America initiative on Saturday hosted at the Willis R. Casey Aquatic Center. The event saw current and former athletes, friends and family come together in the cause to raise money for cancer research throughout the afternoon. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be going to the lab of NC State’s Dr. Cavanagh, who has been conducting research on molecules that could make current chemotherapy regimes up to 1000 times more effective.

COUNTDOWN

N.C. State grabbed the lead after just five minutes against Davidson and never looked back, beating the Wildcats 2-0 on Tuesday night in Raleigh. Junior for ward Nick Surkamp, State’s leading scorer this season, bagged his third and fourth goals of the season to give the Wolfpack (4-1-1) the win. Surkamp has now scored in two consecutive matches after netting the Pack’s second goal against Virginia last Friday. State dominated t he match from start to finish and never let Davidson (4-3-1) generate offensive momentum. The Wildcats have now lost three straight after winning four of their first five games. “This was a big win,” head coach Kelly Findley said. “These midweek games are really hard. There are no easy games in college soccer, so to come out and be really disciplined and take this game exactly how we needed to take it was huge.” State looks to be finding form just as it enters the heart of its ACC schedule. The Pack ’s next match comes on Friday against Boston College (3-2-2) in Raleigh. State looked sharp early, zipping passes around Davidson defenders and creating a flurry of chances early. Defensively, t he Wolfpack applied constant pressure and never let the Wildcats get comfortable on the ball. S t a t e ’s a g g r e s s i v e mentality paid immediate div idends in the f if th minute of the match. Senior midfielder Alex Martinez blitzed in with the ball from the left flank fired a shot at Davidson’s goal. Martinez’ shot hit the post, but the ball rebounded straight to Surkamp in the middle of the box. With Davidson’s goalie out of position, Surkamp coolly

slotted it home to give the Wolfpack an early 1-0 lead. “Alex made a great play to get around his defender,” Surkamp said. “I was just there to clean up and put it in.” The opening goal came as a relief to Findley, who had been stressing the importance of starting quickly all week in practice. “I thought we started the game really well,” Findley said. “It’s something we’ve been trying to work on. We actually trained using first five, last five [minute] drills this week and I thought our guys came out really strong. We scored one goal and probably could’ve had another in the first eight minutes, so I thought we showed a lot of discipline and a great mentality.” State didn’t let up on the Dav idson defense af ter scoring the opening goal. The Pack continued to apply pressure and easily could have doubled its lead in the 23rd minute. A misplaced clearance from the Davidson goalkeeper fell to senior midfielder Nazmi Albadawi in the middle of the pitch. Albadawi passed

to freshman midfielder Travis Wannemuehler, who found himself all alone in the box. Wannemuehler ripped a shot towards goal, but a Wildcat defender threw himself in front of the shot to block the freshman’s shot. The Wolfpack took a twogoal lead just 11 minutes after halftime. Sophomore midfielder Holden Fender played a pass to Albadawi, w h o s a w D a v i d s o n ’s defenders collapse on him and played a dummy, letting the ball roll past him into the path of Surkamp. With his defender yards behind him, Surkamp surged across the face of goal and fired his shot past Davidson’s goalie to score his second goal of the night. “We were talking as a staff about how we need to keep those guys closer together so they can combine,” Findley said. “It was a nice stepover to create space for Nick [Surkamp], who did a great job turning and hitting the target.” Findley said he was happy to see Surkamp on the score sheet for the second consecutive game, and knows that his striker is finding form

as the Pack approaches the midway point in the season. “The defense was stepping hard on me the whole game,” Albadawi said. “I knew that if their defenders would keep

coming with me, then Nick [Surkamp] would have all the room in the world.” “Sometimes you have to take a risk and I took one and it worked out pretty well.”
