Apples unveils smaller iPhone, cuts price on smartwatches

Orders for the new iPhone SE will begin Thursday, and they will resemble the 4-inch size of the iPhone 5s. However, the new iPhone will have the same processing power of the iPhone 6s and 12-pixel camera, compared to the 8 pixels of the iPhone 5s.

Prices for the iPhone SE start at $399, down from the $450 price tag of the iPhone 5s. The iPhone SE will also feature a longerlasting battery, faster wireless connections and will work with Apple Pay. Originally priced at $349, the new Apple Watch will start at $299. A new type of wristband made out of woven nylon will also be released.

Q: What is your plan of action for the remainder of the current school year?

A: Nolan: “I’ll say that we aren’t even in office yet and we have already made progress on the SG website. Our student government website is completely out of date and some of the things we told ourselves we would do is have new programs on the website such as a system to report a bias incident and we are going to have a system for Pack Petition. I’ve been working with OIT to make sure that these initiatives are in progress and hopefully by the end of this semester, we will have a good website that not only revitalizes communication purposes but also implements the plans I’ve outlined.”

Stafford: “Another thing we are working hard at is getting the applications for our cabinet together. We are trying to get those done as soon as we can so we can try to make progress. We need to solidify things so we can hit the ground running.”

NC State takes greener steps to sustainable future Jeremy Wesonga Correspondent

NC State’s ongoing efforts to increase green friendliness on campus have been awarded, with the University receiving a Gold Rating in sustainability from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.

AASHE, working together with at least 750 universities and colleges, gives points to schools that make advancements in academics, planning and administration, engagement and operations in relation to school sustainability.

NC State’s Sustainability Office was established in 2008 to lead the development and progress for sustainability on campus. Since then, it has been working toward making a more efficient campus by reducing water usage and energy consumption. In 2011, the Sustainability Office created a five year strategic plan that aimed at creating a greener campus. The plan seems to have paid off with the Gold Rating award, according to Lindsey Batchelor, the program development specialist for the Sustainability Office.

Batchelor oversaw the work being done to reach this critical landmark of reaching a Gold Rating.

“It shines light in areas we do well and shines light on areas we need improvement,” she said.

The Sustainability Office does not target these problems by itself. Batchelor said the office “seeks to be a hub, a connection point” for staff and students. Faculty are encouraged to take part in the initiatives to educate students on the matter of sustainability through coteaching in classes and other means.

Greater sustainability awareness on campus does not just stop in the classrooms, Batchelor said. Faculty members can also contribute to it in their offices.

The 17th annual National Farmworker Awareness week begins Thursday and lasts until March 31 to commemorate the contributions of farmworkers and to raise awareness of the challenges they face in the United States.

Awareness Week honors farmworkers’ contribution Caitlin Neal Staff Writer

The Student Action for Farmworkers will initiate the 17th annual National Farmworkers Awareness Week Thursday. Involving campuses, communities and organizations, the week is organized to commemorate the contributions of farmworkers and raise awareness of farmworker challenges.

Yazmin Garcia Rico, national SAF organizer, has been planning this year’s awareness week since November. Garcia Rico said SAF is trying to accomplish two things this year with National Farmworkers Awareness Week.

“One is to celebrate the legacy of farmworker activist, Cesar Chavez, as we coordinate the awareness week around his birthday, March 31,” Garcia Rico said. “We also want to celebrate farmworkers and their contributions

right now, but also make their challenges known. Many people think that farmworker issues have been resolved since the 1960s during Chavez’s time but unfortunately that is not true.”

According to the SAF website, about 2 million – 3 million people work to handpick 85 percent of the fruits and vegetables grown in the United States. Although farmworkers receive minimum wage under the 1978 amendment of the Fair Labor Standards Act, federal laws exclude farmworkers from overtime pay, unemployment insurance or protection when joining unions. In addition, labor laws differ among farmworkers, as children as young as 12 years old can work in the fields.

“I feel like a lot of time people think of farmworkers as only males that have left

Annexation of Mexico: an alternative of building a wall J

ames K. Polk, the 11th president of the United States and UNC-Chapel Hill alumnus who was less appreciated by Americans, unintentionally solved today’s ongoing controversial and troublesome immigration problem. Bearing the ideal of “manifest destiny,” Polk intended to expand the U.S.’s territory to the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Inevitably, United States went to war with Mexico in 1846 in defense of Texas’ independence from Mexico and its Ziyi statehood within the United Mai States.

Staff Columnist The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed as the war ended. Under the treaty, Mexico recognized the U.S. annexation of Texas, and agreed to sell California and the rest of its territory north of the Rio Grande for $15 million plus the assumption of certain damages claims.

Under Polk’s administration, the United States also acquired the Oregon territory from the hands of the British. This tremendous amount of land in the southwest and on the west coast later formed the states of California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.

Annexation of the southwest territory, in fact, solved the problem of illegal immigration all in once: residents in the original territory were able to become the citizens of the United States and allowed to travel, settle and work

in other states freely. There is no such thing as “illegal immigration” or “undocumented workers” anymore in one country. Of course, in order not to break the record of a peace period lasting more than one century, voluntary annexation is still possible and doable.

If Mexico voluntarily joined the Union and Congress agreed, it would save both countries plenty of money dealing with the influx of migrants and controlling the border. Now, the border between the two countries is approximately 2,000 miles, compared to a few hundred miles under the “treaty” of annexation.

In contrast, building a wall along the border is extremely costly. First, what height should the wall be and what material should be used? If too low, undocumented immigrants could still make ladders and climb over, or just dig a hole underground to get around it. Second, building a wall does not mean that the government is able to reduce the employment of border patrons. Instead, more people would be sent to the border to monitor the wall climbers.

Third, even if the wall is secured, illegal immigrants could take risks and travel through the ocean to land in the America soil. Basic psychology says that humans by nature want to see what the other side of the wall looks like.

A wall along the border is a symbol of weakness, timidity and protectiveness. The Great Wall of China was built to fend off the Mongols attempting to invade the empire. However, the Great Wall had been proven to be very ineffec-

tive as it did not bring a prolonged period of peace in China, nor did it save the empire from being trampled by Mongols’ fearless fleets.

People seeking immigration are motivated by dreams of a better life, a better standard of living at least. Economists Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson are right by comparing an American town and a Mexico one along the border in terms of their standard of living and other development criteria. Yes, I believe the United States has better institutions and laws than Mexico that provide grounds for individuals who work hard and thrive. Under the U.S. rule, California and Texas are the

Turmoil in the GOP R

epublicans have done it again. If you voted for Republican candidates back in November 2014 and allowed them to have majorities in the House and the Senate, you should know one thing: They’ve fallen short of fulfilling their campaign promises. They Chase campaigned on defunding or McLamb defeating the Affordable Care Guest Act and doing all manner of Columnist other things that simply have not happened. They campaigned on fears and insecurities, people voted, they made no real effort to stand by their promises, and that’s how the game is played. Before we get started, though, I should say I don’t support any of the candidates at all in either party.

What’s interesting now is the crazed frenzy by the Republican establishment to defeat Trump at all costs. Many times, we’ve heard or read about people exclaiming we must “save the Republican party!” I suppose they don’t realize that a majority of Republican voters have chosen Trump as their nominee, so when party leaders speak openly about preventing a Trump nomination by any means necessary, they are plainly talking about denying the majority of their own party’s voters a voice in the primaries.

There is one popular theory at the moment for how this will happen. If Kasich and Cruz campaign hard enough to prevent Trump from reaching 1,237 delegates in the primary elections, we will enter into what is known as a contested or brokered convention. If this happens, many of the delegates who were once bound by the votes of citizens all across the country will be free to vote for whomever they wish.

Unfortunately, for the majority of Republicans who are disgusted at how their own elected officials have willfully neglected them over the past seven years, this will most likely result in the establishment maintaining power without voter support.

We’re witnessing the true face of the establishment. Trump is in the lead because he has campaigned against them in similar fashion to Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz, and because of this, he is the target of the single most united effort on the part of the Republican leader-

ship against a common enemy in a while. To many Republican voters, however, it would have been nice to see this effort applied when the Affordable Care Act was on the table or perhaps against the continued implementation of the National Defense Authorization Act sections 1021-1022, which grants the executive branch the authority to detain anyone indefinitely without a trial, but instead, Republican leaders have joined forces against the nominee chosen by the majority of their own voters.

However, for Republicans, it gets worse.

There is another way the establishment could remain in power. You’ve probably heard rumors that they have considered launching a third party candidate’s campaign for the presidency as a way to splinter the party’s voters.

This is to ensure that if they can’t secure the candidacy at the contested convention, the third party candidate will win enough votes from Trump to grant Clinton a cakewalk coronation instead of a fair fight.

How can this be? Why would the Republican establishment want Hillary Clinton to win the presidency? It actually makes sense if we keep in mind how docile Republicans have been in Congress over the past seven years. Sure, they may throw a wrench in the gears every once in a while, but they very rarely do anything to successfully advance a conservative agenda.

Democrats really have more in common with the Republican establishment than anyone would admit, but that’s a topic for a different discussion.

In a nutshell, the establishment will not allow an anti-establishment candidate to win, especially when they have the power to hijack their own primary elections. I hope for the sake of the democratic process that none of these schemes are brought to fruition, but the fact that Republican leaders are talking about them should be proof enough of the value carried by your vote in their eyes.

For any Democrats who may be enjoying the death of the Republican Party from a distance, just imagine if Bernie Sanders had been your frontrunner. I wouldn’t have been surprised if that situation had been handled in the same way.

his weather is fantastic … and a total tease. It makes you think that you’re close to summer, but, I am sorry to tell you, we still have some time left this semester.

Since we aren’t actually close to having those couple months of downtime, I suggest taking a study break and checking out some summer music festivals.

Iman Nothing mediates anger at the teasing weather like the prosUsmani Correspondent pect of paying to be in a crowd of dirty, 21st-century hippies, I promise.

It’s a pretty standard idea to go to concerts in the summer. It is something to do when you have months of time free. I feel that. But why drop 30 or so dollars on each concert to see an individual artist and their opening act when you can drop a couple hundred to see over a hundred acts? Whoa. That’s right. Lollapalooza is hosting over 120 acts this summer, including everyone from The Weeknd to Lord Huron. It is quite an impressive mix, if you ask me.

I don’t know about you, but I like a couple songs from a bunch of small bands, but I don’t like each band enough to buy a ticket to see a whole set of theirs. Music festivals eliminate that problem by having so many bands there. Lollapalooza even has a couple different stages set up, so if you don’t like one set, you can hop on over to one of the other stages. Each festival releases their lineup months in advance, so you can easily go to their website and determine if the festival is worth going to.

If you can’t make it up to Chicago in time this summer, know that there are a bazillion other music festivals around here. Bonnaroo is a popular one that is held in Tennessee. It is the same as Lollapalooza in the sense that they both host mainstream pop and not-so-mainstream indie. This year, Bonnaroo is hosting Pearl Jam, Ellie Goulding and Lord Huron, because apparently Lord Huron is going to be everywhere.

Aside from getting to listen to a load of good music, you get to wear whatever you want. I realize that we technically can wear

“Aside from getting to listen to a load of good music, you get to wear whatever you want.” whatever we want, whenever we want, but music festivals are a whole new ball game. I am talking full-fledged hippie gear. People show up in bikinis and shark costumes, and it is all fine. It would probably actually make people uncomfortable if you didn’t dress like you were a cowboy going to a waterpark.

If the fact that you can let your innerfashion wild side out didn’t convince you, I’ve got one last point to drive this bad boy home. Here goes: You can potentially not pay for a music festival. I say potentially because there are some loops you have to jump through and other ways of paying for it, but you won’t have to hand over any cold, hard cash.

All music festivals need workers. How could they not, when they are hosting over a hundred famous people in one area? Because of the magnitude of the event, many festivals, including Lollapalooza and Dragonfly, a festival in Delaware, are seeking volunteers and workers. The easiest way to get this ball rolling is to contact the festival through their website and see when and how to apply to be a volunteer. If you get to be one, then all you have to worry about is how to get there and what hipster way to do your hair.

Getting a ticket to actually go inside definitely beats crying and listening from the outside, which is what I did the year that Ben Howard came to Lollapalooza. Not my finest moment, but I have learned my lesson. So, in honor of Lollapalooza tickets going on sale today, plan your summer and throw a festival in the mix. It’ll take some of the burn off from studying for finals in this weather.

most successful states in terms of business and economic growth. This might not have happened if the territory were still under Mexican control.

A wall of protection has never been as effective as it claims. China ultimately abandoned the Great Wall as a defense facility. The Berlin Wall has been torn down, as it failed to stop Eastern Germans from fleeing. Therefore, annexation of Mexico is a good deal for both countries, though the Star-Spangled Banner might be a little crowded with 31 states added to the Union.

Conoce a Emanuel: receptor de beca, actor de comercial Samuel Griffin Escritor de personal

Muchas veces becas pueden venir de lugares raros e inesperados, para sorpresa de los estudiantes, muchas organizaciones brindan ayuda en momentos impensados. Pero ¿qué si la compañía que te otorgó el dinero de repente te envió un correo electrónico inesperado y quería que tomaras parte en un comercial profesionalmente hecho? Esa fue la realidad para un estudiante de NC State este fin de semana que recibió la oportunidad de contar su historia a Colgate — la marca de pasta dentífrica.

Emanuel Cruz, un estudiante de primer año estudiando ingeniería nuclear, se encontró a sí mismo mirando en la cara de una cámara con camarógrafos profesionales que le estaban dirigiendo este fin de semana para un comercial de dos minutos sobre Haz La U, una beca de Colgate-Palmolive — el nombre significa “haz la universidad.”

El Haz La U está ofrecido por la compañía de pasta dentífrica, Colgate-Palmolive, exclusivamente para los de ascendencia hispana.

La compañía de producción, Cinema Giants, filmó a Cruz, que contó su historia personal de creciendo como un homosexual y hispano en un familia de bajos ingresos.

El comercial sigue su camino desde su pueblo natal de Sanford, Carolina del Norte hasta el programa de ingeniería nuclear en NC State.

“Se trata realmente de iluminar a los estudiantes y sus caminos,” dijo Jessy Terrero, el director del comercial y dueño de Cinema Giants. “No hay un producto de Colgate en la pieza. Se trata únicamente de marcar la diferencia en los estudiantes. El contenido será reproducido en diferentes formas de medios sociales, en Youtube, el sitio web de Colgate y alrededor del Internet.”

El historia de Cruz es la segunda de dichas producciones que Cinema Giants ha

Emanuel Cruz, un estudiante de primer año estudiando ingeniería nuclear, e encontró a sí mismo mirando en la cara de una cámara con camarógrafos profesionales que le estaban dirigiendo este fin de semana para un comercial de dos minutos sobre Haz La U, una beca de Colgate-Palmolive — el nombre significa “haz la universidad.”

filmado. Terrero dijo que la historia de Cruz está siendo usada como una prueba con esperanza de seguir filmando más historias de Haz La U en el futuro.

Terroro es más conocido por dirigiendo videos musicales y ha trabajado con artistas como 50 Cent, Puff Daddy y Snoop Dogg. También, dirigió la película “Soul Plane,” con el actor Kevin Hart, y más recientemente el video musical para la canción “Promise” por Kid Ink y presentando Fetty Wap. “Soy de ascendencia dominicana, entonces soy latino,” dijo Terroro. “Siempre hice un punto de querer a hacer cosas en este mercado. Siento como integre en el mercado español porque quería ayudar a hacer un cambio en el punto de vista visual. Cuando este ocurrió, fue algo positivo en la comunidad latina, entonces fue lógico a hacer.”

Terrero y su equipo filmaron a Cruz en varias lugares en el campus incluyendo el Centro de Participación Estudiantil, el Túnel de Expresión Libre, el Burlington

laboratorio ingeniería y también en el cuarto de Cruz en Sanford, Carolina del Norte.

La producción usó los amigos de Cruz como actores, actuando como estudiantes y compañeros de clase en el fondo de escenas.

“Le dimos la oportunidad a solamente traer sus amigos, opuesto a reparto, para mantenerlo auténtico a quien él es,” dijo Terrero. “La gente en el laboratorio nuclear será la gente estudiando en el mismo campo, y los profesores son algos de sus profesores actuales. Él no es un actor, y no lo queremos sentir forzado o falso. Queremos tratar y capturar a él en su forma más verdadera para que un niño que tal vez está yendo a través una lucha similar vea que hay un mejor camino a tomar.”

Cruz dijo que encontró la beca de Haz la U por primera vez durante su tercer año de primaria por la Fundación herencia hispana, una organización que agrega becas hispanas y ayuda financiera para estudiantes.

“Tuve que empezar buscando para becas,” dijo Cruz.

“Tienes que estar específico cuando buscando, entonces busque para becas hispanas, luego becas hispanas que incluyen servicio voluntario y otras cosas. Sabía que podría resaltar en esta área. Tuve más que 400 horas de servicio voluntario y muchas posiciones de liderazgo en la preparatoria.”

Cruz dijo que tuvo que escribir por lo menos siete ensayos durante el proceso de la solicitud, y Colgate y Cinema Giants luego usaron estos ensayos cuando intentando elegir cuáles historias de los 147 ganadores contarían. Cruz solicitó para la categoría de servicio voluntario y consiguió en segundo lugar, que le dio casi $1,500 de Haz la U. Cruz ha trabajado con organizaciones y eventos como Salvation Army, Toys for Tots y Leo Clubs, una organización centrado alrededor de servicio voluntario juvenil. También fue el presidente y fundador del club Gender Alliance en su escuela, el presidente del club internacional de su escuela, un pasante de consejo universitario, un tutor de

ESL y capitán de su equipo de Quiz Bowl.

Cruz dijo que se sentía un poco incómodo mientras estar filmado pero que también tenía mucha diversión. Dijo que no sabía lo que esperar porque nunca haya estado en frente de una cámara.

“Estaba un poco asustado y emocionado,” dijo Cruz. “La primera filmación estuvo en el Túnel de Expresión Libre. No más estuve caminando por el túnel y personas caminaron y vieron a esta cámara grande.

Filmamos por una hora y media, y ocasionalmente, yo vi a un amigo caminando cerca y le suplique a no juzgarme.”

Todo de la filmación ocurrió durante el viernes y el sábado. Cruz dijo que filmó hasta la medianoche el sábado y que de verdad se durmió en el plató. El comercial estuvo filmado en ingles y español, con Cruz leyendo sus líneas en ambas idiomas.

“Uno de los productores me dijo, ‘Vas a ser el hombre grande en campus,” y le dije, ‘No quiero eso; solamente quiero hacer un comercial para ayudar a todos,’” dijo

Cruz. “[El comercial] es principalmente para la juventud hispana — para que ellos logren sus metas y asistan la universidad. Yo he estado esperando a devolverle a mi comunidad, y estaba muy contento conseguir esta oportunidad.”

Parte del comercial incluye la sexualidad de Cruz como un hombre gay. Cruz dijo que no tiene miedo de abrirse públicamente sobre su sexualidad porque es cómodo con él mismo.

“Es bueno representar a la comunidad gay y la comunidad hispana,” dijo Cruz. “Es algo que quería hacer, para ser un portavoz para ambas comunidades.”

Cruz dijo que su familia extendida no sabe que es gay y que el comercial quizá vendrá como una sopresa a ellos. Sin embargo, Cruz dijo que cree que la experiencia será graciosa y que no está preocupados sobre las reacciones de otras.

“Va a ser una sorpresa cómica,” dijo Cruz. “Voy a pensar que es muy graciosa.”

Semana de conciencia honra trabajadores agrícolas Caitlin Neal Escritora de personal

Estudiantes en Acción con Campesinos, o SAF, iniciaran el decimoséptimo año de la Semana Nacional de Campesinos el jueves. Involucrando universidades, comunidades y organizaciones, la semana esta organizada para conmemorar las contribuciones de los granjeros en el sector de la agricultura, y para promover un estado de conciencia de los retos a los que estos se enfrentan.

Yazmin Garcia Rico, organizadora nacional de SAF, ha estado planeando la semana de conciencia de este año desde Noviembre. Garcia Rico dijo que SAF intenta lograr dos cosas este año con la Semana Nacional de Campesinos.

“Uno es para celebrar el legado de activista campesino, César Chávez, mientras coordinamos la semana de conciencia alrededor su cumpleaños, el 31 de marzo,” dijo Garcia Rico. “También queremos celebrar los trabajadores agrícolas y sus contribuciones actuales, pero también hacer sus desafíos conocidos. Muchas personas piensan que los problemas de los trabajadores agrícolas ya han sido resueltos desde los años sesentas durante el tiempo de Chávez, pero

desafortunadamente esto no es cierto.”

Según el sitio de SAF, aproximadamente 2 millones – 3 millones de personas cosechan 85 por ciento de las frutas y vegetales cultivadas en los Estados Unidos. Aunque los trabajadores agrícolas reciben el salario mínimo debajo de la enmienda de la Ley de Estándares Laborales Justos de 1978, todavía las leyes federales excluyen a los campesinos del pago de horas extras, seguro de desempleo y protección a pesar de ser miembros de uniones. Además, las leyes laborales son diferentes entre los trabajadores agrícolas ya que los niños pueden trabajar en los campos al tener 12 años de edad.

“Me siento que muchas veces personas solamente piensen que trabajadores agrícolas son hombres que han dejado sus familias para venir a trabajar, pero en realidad, los trabajadores agrícolas incluyen mujeres y niños también,” dijo Garcia Rico. “La mitad de los estudiantes que trabajan con SAF han trabajado en los campos o han venido de familias campesinas.”

Considerado una de las 10 principales industrias más peligrosas según la Oficina de estadísticas laborales, Jenna Horgan, una estudiante de

“Mi esperanza es que nuestra comunidad puede ser más involucrada con el movimiento de justicia...”

— Jenna Horgan, una estudiante de posgrado estudiando trabajo social

posgrado estudiando trabajo social, reconoció las condiciones inadecuadas mientras viajando a los campesinos en Carolina del Norte durante una práctica con SAF. “Personalmente vi lo que estaban experimentando: agotamiento absoluto, depresión a causa de extrañar sus hogares, exposición a productos químicos, el sol o elementos naturales como la nicotina de las cosechas de tabaco, la cual enferma a los trabajadores y les previene del sueño,” dijo Horgan. “Además, a menudo la gente vivía en chozas ocupadas por 12 personas. Muchos trabajaban 12 horas al día y la mayoría no tenía acceso a transporte, lo cual les dejaba totalmente aislados”.

Con su comprensión de las condiciones de campesinos, el año pasado Horgan participó en La Semana Nacional de Campesinos y recaudó 100 camisas de mangas largas para dar a los trabajadores

agrícolas en el este de Carolina del Norte. Estas camisas servirán para proteger a los trabajadores de el sol y de exposición química. Continuando con su objetivo, Horgan está colocando cajas de donación en los edificios de 1911, Patterson y Withers en campus y tiene la meta de colectando 200 camisas de manga largas este año.

“NC State es un líder en agricultura, y mi esperanza es que nuestra comunidad puede ser más involucrada con el movimiento de justicia para los trabajadores agrícolas,” dijo Horgan.

La organización sin fines de lucro, fe centralizada Clerecía Nacional de Campesino es otra organización participando en la Semana Nacional de Campesinos. Directora ejecutiva, Julie Taylor, dijo que es importante que los trabajadores agrícolas se sientan apreciados por el trabajo que hacen.

“Quiero que los trabajadores agrícolas sean capaces de reconocer la importancia de su trabajo,” dijo Taylor. “Su trabajo es más especializado que reconocemos, y me gustaría si ellos vieran que personas están abogando y apreciando ellos.”

En abogando para los campesinos, La Clerecía Nacional de Campesinos está apoyando el boicot en curso de Wendy’s que originalmente fue declarado en 2015 por la coalición de los trabajadores de Immokalee. Fue declarado como una respuesta al rechazo del negocio para no firmar el Programa de Comida Justa, un contrato para proteger los derechos humanos.

El boicot continua durante La Semana Nacional de Campesinos hoy en Greensboro en una manifestación pacífica enfrente de Wendy’s a la dirección de 1500 West Lee Street a las 4:30 en la tarde.

Taylor dijo que un objetivo del boicot es para negocios como Wendy’s tener una reunión con las organizaciones para los campesinos para discutir un contrato y para estar de acuerdo sobre salarios y condiciones mejores para los trabajadores agrícolas.

“Hace cincuenta y uno años, los manifestantes marcharon 25 días con César Chávez para crear conciencia para

los trabajadores agrícolas por la huelga y protesta de uvas,” dijo Taylor. “Esa marcha recibe atención y esperamos que este boicot y semana de conciencia vaya llamar la atención de otras también.”

Garcia Rico dijo que la meta última de la semana de conciencia, además del apoyo de campesinos en general, es para dirigir la conversación para resolver la injusticia que trabajadores agrícolas enfrentan.

“En los EE.UU siempre tenía que haber alguien que ha trabajado en los campos y que han sido oprimidos, y ahora son los latinos,” dijo Garcia Rico. “Me siento que mucha de la conversación en los últimos años [en agricultura] haya sido sobre el medio ambiente, que es bueno, pero necesitamos enfocarnos también de las necesidades humanos.”

La Semana Nacional de Campesinos es del jueves al 31 de marzo, y la pretende aumentar conciencia sobre las condiciones de trabajadores agrícolas además de honrar las contribuciones que los trabajadores agrícolas hacen a los EEUU cada día, según el sitio de SAF.

Meet Emanuel: scholarship recipient, commercial star Samuel Griffin Staff Writer

Scholarships can come from strange, unexpected places sometimes, and students may find themselves surprised by the organizations that give them aid. But what if the company that awarded you money suddenly emailed you out of the blue and wanted you to be in a professionally made commercial? That was the reality for one NC State student over the weekend who received the opportunity to tell his story from none other than Colgate — the toothpaste brand.

Emanuel Cruz, a freshman studying nuclear engineering, found himself staring into the face of a camera with professional cinematographers directing him this weekend for a two-minute commercial about the Haz La U, a Colgate-Palmolive scholarship that’s name means “make the university.”

The Haz La U is offered by the Colgate-Palmolive toothpaste company exclusively to those of Hispanic decent. Cruz was filmed by the production company Cinema Giants, who asked Cruz to tell his personal

story of growing up as a gay, Hispanic child born into a low-income family. The commercial follows his journey from his hometown of Sanford, North Carolina, to NC State’s nuclear engineering program.

“It’s really about highlighting the students and their journey,” said Jessy Terrero, the director of the commercial and owner of Cinema Giants. “There is no Colgate product in the piece.

It’s really about highlighting the students. The content will play on various forms of social media, on YouTube, Colgate’s website and around the Internet.”

Cruz’s story is the second of these productions that Cinema Giants has shot. Terrero said Cruz’s story is acting as a test to hopefully film more of the Haz La U stories in the future.

Terrero is most known for directing music videos and has worked with artists such as 50 Cent, Puff Daddy and Snoop Dogg. He also directed the movie “Soul Plane,” starring Kevin Hart, and most recently the music video for the song “Promise” by Kid Ink and featuring Fetty Wap. “I am of Dominican decent,

so I’m Latino,” Terrero said. “I always made it a point to want to do stuff in that market. I feel like I integrated myself in the Spanish market because I wanted to help make a change on the visual standpoint. When this came about, it was something positive in the Latino community, so it made sense to do.”

Terrero and his team filmed Cruz at various locations on campus including the Student Involvement Center, the Free Expression Tunnel, the Burlington Engineering Lab as well as Cruz’s own bedroom back in Sanford, North Carolina.

The production used Cruz’s friends as stand-ins, playing students and classmates in the background of scenes.

“We gave him the opportunity to just bring in his friends, as opposed to casting, to keep it authentic to who he is,” Terrero said. “The people in the nuclear lab will be people studying in the same field, and the professors are some of his actual professors. He is not an actor, and we don’t want it to feel forced or fake. We want to try and capture him in his truest form so that a young kid that’s

maybe going through a similar struggle sees that there’s a better path to take.”

Cruz said that he first found the Haz La U scholarship during his junior year of high school through the Hispanic Heritage Foundation, an organization that aggregates Hispanic scholarship and financial aid opportunities for students.

“I had to get on the ball and start looking for scholarships,” Cruz said. “You have to be specific when looking, so I searched for Hispanic scholarships, then Hispanic scholarships that do volunteering and all these other things. I knew I could stand out in it. I had over 400 hours of community service and a lot of leadership positions in high school.”

Cruz said he had to write at least seven essays during the application process, and Colgate and Cinema Giants later used these essays when trying to pick out of the 147 winners whose story to tell. Cruz applied in the community service category and got second place, which awarded him $1,500 from the Haz La U. Cruz has worked with organizations and events such as

Salvation Army, Toys for Tots and Leo Clubs, an organization centered around youth community service. He was also president and founder of his school’s Gender Alliance Club, president of his school’s International Club, a college advising intern, an ESL tutor and captain of his Quiz Bowl team.

Cruz said he felt somewhat awkward while being filmed but that he had a lot of fun while doing it. He said he didn’t know what to expect because he had never been in front of a camera before.

“I was sort of frightened and excited,” Cruz said. “Our first shoot was in the Free Expression Tunnel. I was just walking through the tunnel and people would walk by and see this big camera. We filmed for an hour and a half, and occasionally I would see a friend walk by and beg them not to judge me.”

The entirety of the filming took place across Friday and Saturday. Cruz said he filmed until midnight Saturday and that he actually fell asleep on set. The commercial was filmed in English and Spanish, with Cruz reading his lines in both.

“One of the producers said to me, ‘You’re going to be the big man on campus,’ and I said, ‘I don’t want that; I just want to make a commercial to help everybody,’” Cruz said. “[The commercial] is aimed at Hispanic youth — for them to achieve their goals and go to college. I’ve been wanting to give back to my community, and I was really glad to be given this opportunity.”

Part of the commercial covers Cruz’s sexuality as a gay man. Cruz said he was not afraid to be publicly open about his sexuality because he is comfortable with himself.

“It’s good to represent both the gay and Hispanic community,” Cruz said. “It’s something I’ve wanted to do, to be a spokesperson for both.”

Cruz said his extended family does not know he is gay and that the commercial may come as a surprise to them. However, Cruz said he thinks the experience will be amusing and that he is not worried about people’s reactions.

“It will be a funny surprise,” Cruz said. “I’ll find it hysterical.”

Chilean professor finds inspiration in French modernism Maddy Bonnabeaux Correspondent

Professor Hernán Marchant’s office is no different than his work — a spectacle. In the window, a rotating crystal emits a hazy rainbow throughout the space. Eccentric art pieces make for a vibrant space, each possessing a different tale from his travels.

Originally from Chile, Marchant attended the Universidad de Chile at the age of 15.

Not knowing what to study, he started out in philosophy. He and his friends had a love of drawing, so he tried out architecture and found his true passion. At the same university, he held an administrative position for seven years and mentored and taught architecture for 20 years.

“It’s funny, I didn’t like philosophy because I’d have to teach,” Marchant said. “Architecture seemed like a cool thing, and I fell in love with it.”

Marchant, who is now the associate dean at NC State’s College of Design, said he believes the right combination of practicing, researching and teaching amounts to a happy professor.

“There are some people who have been teaching their whole life, but if they only practice, they lose the passion,” Marchant said.

Moreover, Marchant appreciates having free time and how his students keep him young.

“You have to be updated in your way of thinking and con-

stantly evolve,” Marchant said.

“I like to deliver.”

For decades, the works of French modernist Le Corbusier has influenced Marchant’s way of thinking. While researching for his Ph.D. in art history of modern and contemporary architecture at the University La Sorbonne in Paris during 2001–2002, he received a grant that allowed him to live in the deceased designer’s apartment.

With the opportunity to live in the apartment of Le Corbusier one month a year during 2003-2005, for a total of three months, Marchant immersed himself in the space where the artist once roamed. No longer funded, Marchant was one of the few who had the distinctive opportunity.

“I was feeling very strange at the beginning,” Marchant said.

“The building was cracking a lot, but that was because of the weird structure. I didn’t see any spirits.”

As of late, the apartmentstudio is accessible via appointment. Marchant, however, was able to understand Le Corbusier on a more personal level. For instance, the late artist prevented vertigo with a high balcony.

To accommodate, Le Corbusier tilted his bed downward in order to have a view. Much of his furniture withstood the test of time, including a chair prototype built in 1925, according to Marchant.

“He died [in 1965], which was a while ago, but it still felt like he was living there because there were so many things that

families behind to come to work, but in reality, the farmworkers include women and children as well,” Garcia Rico said. “Half the students that work with SAF have worked in the fields themselves or come from farmworker families.”

Considered one of the top-10 most dangerous industries according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Jenna Horgan, a graduate student studying social work, recognized the unfit conditions while visiting farmworkers in North Carolina during an internship with SAF. “I was personally able to see what they were going through: pure exhaustion, depression from missing

belonged to him,” Marchant said. “It’s a weird thing to experience; it was like living inside of a museum.”

Additionally, Marchant translated his work from French to Spanish and holds several publications on the modernist. One translation includes Le Poeme de L’Angle Droit, while he also studied the evolution of design of two iconic Le Corbusier projects: Villa Savoye in France and the Carpenter Arts Center in Cambridge.

Fascinated by Paris, Marchant lived there for 14 years.

“At first, I went to Paris with a friend of mine for six months, and when I left, I decided that I wanted to live in the city,” Marchant said. “I still go back to visit once or twice a year.”

Marchant said Paris’s best attribute is its museums.

“There are museums for everything; if you’re interested in any idea that you have and are obsessed by it, you’ll find a museum for it,” Marchant said. “There are buildings there that are like museums in themselves.”

In Chile, Marchant served as in the architectural partnership Arriagada & Marchant, designing and building more than 1 million square feet of multistory buildings. He has also been awarded first prizes in four architectural competitions. Although he lost one particular Chilean competition, his design was modified slightly and built in Cerro Paranal. The building was fea-

home, exposure to chemicals, sun or natural elements such as nicotine from harvesting tobacco, which can make individuals sick and prevents sleep,” Horgan said. “In addition, people often lived in shacks that 12 people occupied, many worked 12 hours a day and most did not have access to transportation, leaving them very isolated.”

Understanding the conditions of farmworkers, last year Horgan participated in National Farmworker Awareness Week by collecting 100 long-sleeve shirts to give to farmworkers in Eastern North Carolina to help protect them from sun and chemical exposure. Continuing her mission, Horgan is setting up donation boxes in the 1911 Building, Patterson Hall and Withers Hall on campus with the goal of obtaining 200 long-sleeve shirts.

“With NC State being a leader in agriculture, my hope is that our cam-

pus community can be more involved with the farmworker justice movement,” Horgan said.

Nonprofit, faith-based National Farm Worker Ministry is another organization participating in the National Farmworker Awareness Week.

Executive Director Julie Taylor said it is important farmworkers feel appreciated for the work they do.

“I want farmworkers to be able to acknowledge the importance of their work,” Taylor said. “Their work is more specialized than what we recognize, and I would like for them to see that people are advocating and appreciating them.”

In advocating for farmworkers, National Farm Worker Ministry is supporting the ongoing Wendy’s boycott originally declared in 2015 by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers as a response to the company’s refusal of

According to Kathleen Rieder, assistant professor of Art and Design, Marchant brings diversity to the College of Design. As one of Marchant’s colleagues, she also said he is curious and funny.

not signing the Fair Foods Program, a human rights protection agreement.

The boycott continues its presence during the National Farmworker Awareness Week in Greensboro today as a peaceful protest in front of the Wendy’s on 1500 West Gate City Blvd. at 4:30 p.m.

Taylor said the goal of the boycott is to get companies like Wendy’s to meet with farmworker organizations to discuss a contract and to agree about better wages and conditions for their farmworkers.

“Fifty-one years ago, protesters marched 25 days with Cesar Chavez to raise awareness for farmworkers through the grape strike and protest,” Taylor said. “That march got attention and we hope this boycott and week of awareness will bring the attention of others as well.”

Marchant stresses to students to utilize the study abroad services while they are at NC State.

“You have to see the world,” Marchant said. “You know, traveling is a virus of sorts.

You take it and can’t get away from it.”

the awareness week, as well as farmworker advocacy in general, is to direct the conversation to solve the injustice farmworkers face.

“In the U.S. there has always had to be someone that has worked in the fields and have been oppressed, and it now happens to be Latinos,” Garcia Rico said. “I feel like a lot of the conversation over the past few years [in agriculture] has been about the environment, which is great, but we need to also focus on the human needs.”

National Farmworker Awareness week is from Thursday to March 31, and it aims to raise awareness about farmworker conditions as well as honor the contributions farmworkers make to the U.S. every day, according to the SAF website.

The roster has talent, beginning with 6-foot-4, 220-pound UNC-Pembroke alum quarterback Garrett Sutphen, who displayed good accuracy and arm strength despite constant pressure in his face. He has several tall and athletic wide receivers to throw to and he made good use of them, firing touchdown pass after touchdown pass against a helpless Winston defense.

The defense is led by cornerback Stephan Virgil, a former NFL veteran, who patrols the secondary with swagger.

The Wildcats chose not to attack him for most of the game, instead focusing on cornerback Malik Cromartie, who was burned for a couple touchdowns.

The real MVP was the Torch kicker T.C. Stevens, who blasted two kickoffs through the uprights and was perfect on PAT attempts.

Of course, the roster won’t be what draws you to J.S. Dorton Arena.

It will be for the cheap entertainment value and the fact that football is still football, no matter what level it’s being played at. Tickets start at $12, which is a bargain for the amount of fun that you’ll have watching the game.

The crowd is loud and the chants are engaging, with chants of “T-O-R-C-H, Torch, Torch, Torch!” being heard after every big hit, fourth down stop or touchdown with the cheering section in the endzone directing the interaction.

For another thing, J.S. Dorton Arena is beautifully set up to support arena football. The seating puts you right next to the action and the intricate design of the arena matched with the jerseys, field and advertisements means the game looks great aesthetically (besides the Torch’s midfield logo).

Overall, the experience was impressive for a minor professional football franchise, but in a town filled with entertainment options, the team might get torched before you ever get to see it.

faster tempo since the team didn’t utilize the no-huddle offense that much last season. Getting used to playing at a faster tempo means having to get in better shape, but Hines doesn’t mind conditioning because he fully supports Drinkwitz.

“He’s a big attention-to-detail guy, the type of guy you really like to play for,” Hines said. “He practices what he preaches; he even ran sprints with us today.

He really sells out for us.”

While the Wolfpack’s offense looks to improve this season, fans should expect another good year for special teams as well, as Hines will once again handle the kick returning duties. In terms of improving as a kick returner, Hines said that he will be more patient this year. He also mentioned that last year showed him just how much more competitive football is at the college level in comparison to high school.

in addition to the usual slate of strong ACC opponents. However, with the addition of new offensive coordinator, Eliah Drinkwitz, the team’s offense should be even more potent this season. As the OC for Boise State, Drinkwitz’s offense ranked in the Top 15 in the nation in points per game and total offense for the 2015 season.

At Boise State, Drinkwitz ran a primarily no-huddle offense that was fast paced, explosive and featured a lot of downhill running.

Now that he at NC State, he will look to incorporate these things into the Wolfpack’s offense, and he has a lot of talent at the running back position to work with.

When asked about his thoughts on the new OC and the new offense, Hines said that he and his teammates are still adjusting to the

“At this level, everyone is fast and talented and you have to rely on your teammates more,” Hines said. “I know my blockers are always going to do everything they can for me, I just like to repay them for that by having a big return.”

Hines has a lot of potential for next season, and for that reason, there are high expectations that he hopes to achieve. Balancing those responsibilities with school and running track as well is difficult but Hines enjoys the challenge and likes being busy.

He said that having less free time encourages him to be more productive in the time that he does have and that his grades are better this semester now that he’s running track. However, he also said that he couldn’t do it without the support of his twin sister Nyah, who also runs track at NC State.

Hines is certainly a unique athlete and a special type of individual.

Barber declares for NBA Draft

COMMENTARY

Triangle Torch offers unorthodox entertainment

Kyler Proffitt Correspondent

The Raleigh area welcomed its newest professional franchise on Sunday, as the Triangle Torch played its inaugural game in J.S. Dorton Arena. The Torch, an expansion franchise in American Indoor Football, defeated the Winston Wildcats 53-33 in front of a small but lively home crowd.

While the team will undoubtedly never reach the same recognition level as local college teams or the Carolina Panthers, it still delivers a decent product behind rosters that Christian Candeloro boast former NFL, CFL, AFL and even X-League (a top level Japanese Staff Writer football league) players. Almost all of the players come from local area schools, including UNC-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, Shaw and Saint Augustine’s.

On the field, the product looks very similar to the Arena Football League. The rules of American Indoor Football are similar as well, with minor differences coming on kickoffs (you can score two points by kicking it through the uprights), roster requirements (one player must be from within 120 miles of the team’s headquarters) and pre-snap motion (two players can be in motion before the snap). The game moves along quickly, with the clock running after incompletions and penalties.

Oh, and another thing: the players seem to be legitimately trying to kill each other.

A brawl at midfield commemorated the first ever play in Torch history. The players freely pummel each other into the walls that surround the arena and there are no flags for unnecessary roughness or targeting (at least that I’ve seen).

The product is swift, violent and definitely not for the faint of heart. However, that seems to be the product that the team and league openly endorse. The refs make no attempt to control the violence of the game and the players celebrate with vivacity after each hit and score, egging on their teammates, the crowd and the other team at the same time.

So what of the Torch? Are they worth two hours of your time and do they have what it takes to stick in Raleigh?

Although the team deprived me of basic amenities, namely Wi-Fi, press passes or even interviews, I still enjoyed watching the game (and the ensuing brawl) being played in front of me.

TORCH continued page 7

Junior standout Cat Barber has officially declared for the NBA draft, but elected to not sign an agent, giving him the possibility to return to NC State, according to NBC Sports.

Barber will be going through the NBA’s improved “testing the waters” process. This past summer, the NCAA changed a rule allowing underclassmen to declare for the draft, work out for NBA teams and attend the NBA Combine before requiring them to withdraw from the draft to retain their eligibility.

Last year the deadline to withdraw was April 16; this year it is May 25.

While Barber has the opportunity to be drafted by an NBA team, he also has the opportunity to return back to school and lead a team back to the NCAA tournament.

The Newport News, Virginia product had his best season this past year in which he averaged 23.5 points per game, putting him at seventh in the entire nation. He also averaged 4.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists. With numbers like these, the majority of college players would put their names in the NBA draft.

However, Barber may have an opportunity next year with the Wolfpack that he has yet to experience in his past years: a deep NCAA Tournament run past the Sweet Sixteen.

Junior guard Terry Henderson will be back next season after a right ankle injury sustained in the season opener sidelined him for the entire 2015-16 season.

Henderson averaged 11.7 PPG as a sophomore at West Virginia, and would surely make an impact beside Barber, who has had to carry much of the offense throughout the season.

Incoming freshman Dennis Smith Jr., the former No. 1 point guard in the 2015 ESPN Top 100 Recruits, will be a major

part of the team next year, and someone who could help Barber handle the ball. Smith comes in as one of the most highly anticipated recruits to ever commit to play for the Wolfpack.

Former Conference USA Freshman of the Year Torin Dorn will also join the Wolfpack next season after sitting out a year due to transfer rules.

At UNC-Charlotte, Dorn averaged 12 PPG and shot 50 percent from the field.

The combination of Barber, Henderson, Smith and Dorn could be lethal. With the return of sharp-shooting guard Maverick Rowan, and the multidimensional Caleb and Cody Martin, the Wolfpack could prove to have one of the top backcourts in the nation.

The entire frontcourt will be returning as well, led by forward Abdul-Malik Abu, shotblocking forward BeeJay Anya and defensive-minded Lennard Freeman. Freeman spent the 2015-16 season with a nagging right leg injury.

While this Wolfpack team could be a great one, there is still the possibility that Barber elects to keep his name in the draft.

Barber is a junior, which means while he may have had a great junior year and potentially a great senior season, his draft stock is dropping slowly.

NBA teams elect to take players who are younger with higher potential.

Much was the case for Notre Dame’s Jerian Grant and NC State guard Trevor Lacey last season. While both had very successful seasons, Grant almost leading his team past the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats in the Elite Eight, the age factor played a role in both of them being picked later on in the draft.

Lacey went undrafted, while Grant was drafted 19th overall by the New York Knicks.

Barber’s stock may never be higher than it is now. With the additions of all the newcom-

ers next year for NC State, his points per game average will most likely drop and he will have to share the point guard position with Smith.

Barber may also consider injuries as a reason for moving on. Injuries are a tough blow for athletes, and could very well end an athlete’s season or even career. Take for example Milwaukee Bucks’ forward and former Duke star, Jabari Parker.

Parker chose to go after his first year in college, and unfortunately during his rookie campaign, he tore his ACL early on. Had he been at college that year, his draft stock may have dropped and hurt his professional chances. Barber had a number of close calls this year with injuries.

In an age where college athletes are not paid for their service to the school, Barber has the potential to head on to the NBA and make a career for himself. Many students leave school early now to head to the professional realm where they are able to make their own money.

While Barber is undersized according to many scouts, his quickness is what sets him apart from the rest of the field. The development of a jump shot and ability to lead are cases for him to move on. But the opportunity for him to return for one more year to make a deep push in the tournament with a deeper and more balanced team could help impact his decision.

Hines offers quickness, versatility in Pack offense Matthew Simpson Correspondent

As a true freshman, Nyheim Hines burst out onto the NC State football scene, thanks to his quickness and versatility.

Last season, Nyheim Hines led NC State with 1,419 allpurpose yards, 920 of which came from kickoff returns.

Hines brings a lot of versatility to the table for the Wolfpack and could see more time at either running back or wide receiver this season. It’s likely that he could see some time at both, as he did last season. He’s currently working more with the running backs, but he still gets moved around from time to time.

“Sometimes they’ll throw me a curveball and put me at positions I haven’t been at,” Hines said. “I just have to

make sure I’m studying the playbook.”

He doesn’t mind being moved around though; he is willing to play whatever position the team needs him to play. In high school, Hines had a lot of success playing in different places on the field.

He graduated from local Garner High School, where he broke school records in rushing yards, all-purpose yards and total touchdowns. Coming out of high school, Hines was considered one of the best running backs in North Carolina, and was ranked No. 155 nationally in the ESPN 300.

Naturally, Hines had quite a few offers other than NC State, but ultimately he chose to stay close to home and play for the Wolfpack.

“A lot of my friends went to far-away universities,” Hines

said. “I wanted to be different, I wanted to stay at home and help build the team here at State.”

Hines said that he saw the football program heading in the right direction and saw that the university was making efforts to improve its athletics program as a whole, and he wanted to be a part of that. Despite the fact that the Wolfpack had a minor setback last season, going 7-6 (3-5 ACC) after finishing the 2014 season 8-5 (3-5 ACC), Hines and the rest of the team are optimistic about this coming fall and they will look to get things headed back in the right direction.

The Pack has a tougher schedule this year as well, as it plays Notre Dame and ECU
