Adjunct faculty members seek to unionize at Duke University

On Thursday, adjunct faculty members working at Duke University filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board to hold an election on whether they should unionize. Thirty percent of employees in the group support the effort. For the last few months, a small group called Duke Teaching First has sought to garner support for joining a union to improve pay, benefits and job security. More than 80 tenured or tenure-track faculty members signed a letter supportive of the effort to Duke President Richard Brodhead.

UNC-Chapel Hill selects commencement speaker

Anne-Marie Slaughter, an international policy analyst and women’s rights advocate, will deliver the May 2016 commencement address at UNCChapel Hill. Slaughter became known to popular audiences after The Atlantic published her article “Why Women Still Can’t Have it All” in its July/August 2012 edition. Slaughter served as the dean of Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and later served as the director of Policy Planning for the U.S. State Department from January 2009 until February 2011 under then U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Duke University announced in October that head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski will be its 2016 commencement speaker.

Duke legal panel confronts hate crime legislation

IN BRIEF Only hours after Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was reported to have died at the age of 79, key Republican lawmakers released public statements that President Barack Obama should not seek to appoint a replacement for Scalia on the bench in the 11 months he has left as president.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell released a statement that Obama should instead defer the decision to the next president to nominate a justice. Obama said he would seek to fill the seat in due time in his public remarks. If the seat remains empty, any decision that is tied 4-4 would defer to a lower court’s ruling and could thus have huge implications on judicial rulings. One person who is near the top of the list of likely appointments is Sri Srinivasan, a United States circuit judge currently serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. If confirmed by the senate, Srinivasan would be the first Indian-American as well as Asian-American to serve on the court.

After discussing the legal facets of hate crimes on Friday evening, a panel at Duke Law School came to the conclusion that there are significant weaknesses in hate crime legislation at both the state and the federal level.

Nearly 125 students, faculty and community members from Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State attended the “Deconstructing a Hate Crime” event, which came a year after Deah Barakat, his wife Yusor Abu-Salha and her sister Razan Abu-Salha were shot and killed in Chapel Hill.

“In North Carolina, our hate crimes are a joke. They have no teeth,” said Nura Sediqe, a panelist and doctoral student studying political science at Duke University.

Chris Brook, another panelist and legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina said that part of the problem is that most of the district attorneys, lawyers, politicians and law enforcement are white.

“They are not willing to wrestle with animus as an animating factor and will latch onto any other explanation to avoid difficult and, truth be told, dislocating conversations,” Brook said.

Another reason for weak hate crime laws in the state and country is that “politicians don’t face hate,” according to Joseph Cheshire, the attorney handling the murder case of Deah,

Voting rights take center stage at HKonJ Katherine Kehoe Assistant News Editor

Thousands of people braved freezing temperatures Saturday morning to join the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP to advocate for voting rights and other causes at the 10th annual Moral March on Raleigh and Historic Thousands on Jones Street People’s Assembly.

Speakers and protesters began the march in front of the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts and walked with signs and banners to Fayetteville Street for a rally in front of the Capitol building, where the crowd took up an entire city block.

The name of the rally, HKonJ, originates from when protesters used to gather at the legislative building on Jones Street at the end of their demonstrations, but the location of the rally has since been moved to the en-

NC State former associate professor Scott Whisnant faced his first court appearance Thursday afternoon after turning himself in on three charges of embezzlement.

Whisnant turned himself in Wednesday upon University Police obtaining a warrant for his arrest on three charges of embezzlement. If found guilty, Whisnant could be in prison for 39 months, according to Judge Keith Gregory, whose court he made an appearance in Thursday afternoon. The embezzlement charges are felony level.

Whisnant pleaded no contest. Whisnant’s attorney Christian Dysart asked that Whisnant be considered for pretrial release. Gregory granted the request, on the condition that Whisnant remain under electronic house arrest for the duration of the trial.

Whisnant took $750 from the AgriLife Council, $16,862 from the Alpha Zeta Agricultural Honors Fraternity and $54,255 from the Animal Science Club over the past year, according to The News & Observer. Whisnant resigned from the animal science department the day before he turned himself in to

the Wake County Sheriff’s Department.

According to Dysart, Whisnant has made restitutions to the groups. Raleigh District Attorney Becky Holt confirmed that she had heard that restitution had been made, so she did not attempt to alter the charges against Whisnant.

The treasurer of the Animal Science Club tipped NC State auditors off to discrepancies in the club’s bank statements Jan. 14. University Police began investigating five days later, according to WRAL. Charlotte Farin has taken over the teaching duties of Whisnant’s ANS 220 class. She told the class she didn’t have any details on the investigation, but she wanted the transition to go as smoothly as possible, according to students enrolled in the class.

Assistant Opinion Editor

Connor Bolinder The brothers of Delta Sigma Iota, Inc. held the second Sangeet Saagar, a South Asian a cappella competition in which performers from across the country gather to raise money for Sight Saving Academy of India in Stewart Theatre Saturday night.

Sight Saving Academy of India is a nonprofit that helps perform eyesight-sav ing surgeries on impoverished people in Agra, India. Sunil Parikh, the father of Snehal Parikh, a member of UNCChapel Hill’s DSI chapter, started the nonprofit in 1977, according to Anand Chokshi, a sophomore studying biological sciences and the event’s ticket coordinator.

Service is one of DSI’s three pillars, along with education and unity.

Jugad Bedi, a junior studying mechanical engineering and president of the NC State chapter, said, “I lived in India for six years, and I’ve seen a lot of the community and how poverty is, how sad it is.

I’ve done a lot of service in India with the community, we made food and distributed food to people, the less fortunate, and it was a very enriching experience, just to see the smiles on their faces.

This fraternity actually encompasses that, we try to do a lot of service. It’s just something that I feel good doing.

When we give back to the community, it’s just a whole other feeling.”

Besides supporting the SSAI, DSI also participates in other local and national philanthropies such as Habitat

for Humanity, the Museum of Natural Sciences and the South Asian Marrow Association Recruiters. It also participated in NC State’s homegrown Dance Marathon and Service Raleigh.

The organization fosters a communal ethic of service.

“We tend to want to give back to the community every month, and we do that by keeping up with each other,” said Saahj Gosrani, sophomore studying biochemistry and program co-lead. “It doesn’t have to be an organized event between brothers, if I say I want to go to Habitat, like ‘Hey [fraternity brother], you want to come?’

He comes.”

From 20 applicants, six a cappella teams from across the country were chosen to participate in this event.

Dhamakapella from Case Western won the competition with Raag from Rutgers as the runner up. Dhunki from University of Texas at Dallas, Spartan Sur from Michigan State University, Dhadkan from Ohio State University and Nuttin’ but V.O.C.A.L.S from Rutgers also made a showing. In addition to the participating teams, the Achordants from UNC-CH and Grains of Time from NC State performed as Exhibition teams.

All proceeds from the event will go to SSAI. Sponsors contributed about $5,000 while ticket sales are estimated to have contributed another $5,000. Packing about half the house, about 430 guests attended Sangeet Saagar this year, a number comparable to last year’s turnout.

Several student organizations supported Sangeet Saagar, including Student Government, the Scholars Program and the UNC As-

The final tally of the proceeds will be announced in the near future, but its organizers estimated the windfall to be between $2,000 to $4,000.

Delta Sigma Iota plans on continuing the event.

“We’ll be here next year, if not here, UNC. It’s a new year, new charity, and we hope everyone comes out,” Gosrani said.

Even donations as small as $20 can help pay for certain procedures that aid with eyesight to a blind or visually

impaired patient through the all-volunteer staff. The charity has no administrative expenses; because the staff is made up of volunteers, every dollar donated goes directly to the cause of restoring sight to underprivileged patients, according to the SSAI website.

Students promote petition for Meatless Mondays Kat Kirby Correspondent

Some NC State students involved in the Humane League, a grassroots animal advocacy nonprofit organization, are participating in Meatless Monday, an initiative that seeks to encourage participants to give up meat for health and environmental benefits.

“An agricultural school having Meatless Mondays is an interesting contradiction,” said John Kittrell, a sophomore studying fisheries and wildlife sciences.

In the “HOWL,” an email sent to students by Student Body President Khari Cyrus, a few questions were

Yusor and Razan.

In 2014, the total number of hate crimes decreased from 5,828 to 5,479. Every subset of hate crimes decreased except for hate crimes against Muslims, according to Brook.

However, it is very difficult to prosecute a hate crime, and if every hate crime were prosecuted, the United States would not be able to afford it, according to Cheshire. The tragic murders of Deah, Yusor and Razan are not currently set to be tried as a hate crime. After the killings, Craig Hicks of Chapel Hill turned himself in, was charged with three counts

posed before more details were given: “Care about the environment? Want to make healthier choices? Love your dog or cat (and maybe cows and pigs)?”

Many students, including Jonathan Riggs, a freshman studying animal science, seemed to think that the email endorsed Meatless Mondays.

“The SBP appeared to endorse/support meatless Mondays in this week’s HOWL and refuses to send out a follow up to clarify,” Riggs said.

Some even believed that there was an attack on the livestock production in the United States.

“As an agricultural student at this accredited university, I

proudly support cattle, poultry, and pork farmers across our country,” said Abby Whitaker, a senior studying agricultural science.

However, Cyrus claims that the HOWL is a way to communicate an optional movement that students could choose to participate in or not, and it is not endorsed by Student Government.

Cyrus even included in the HOWL last week: “The bottom portion that follows ‘Please be mindful of the following campus updates:’ are student submitted events that I copy and paste into the email. They aren’t an official endorsement by the Student Body President or Student Government.”

Some NC State students support the option of Meatless Mondays.

“I attended UNC-Asheville, and they actually have this,” said Hunter Kemp, a senior studying fisheries and wildlife sciences. “However, the student body here is completely different, and I could see why a lot of people have a problem with it … the people who are straight up rude and shoot down the idea immediately need to chill … Don’t shoot down a progressive idea just because you think it’s outrageous.”

The dining halls do offer vegetarian options and encourage students to go meatless at least once a week for the increased health benefits.

“As of right now, University Dining is not affiliated or involved,” said Soumya Nadabar, a senior studying economics. She is one of 30 student organizers of the Humane League promoting Meatless Monday.

The Meat less Monday movement website claims that going meatless once a week may “reduce your risk of chronic preventable conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity.”

According to Mayo Clinic, “a National Cancer Institute study of 500,000 people found that those who ate the most red meat daily were 30 percent more likely to die of any cause during a 10-year

period than those who ate the least amount of red meat.”

There are also environmental benefits to joining the Meatless Monday initiative in that it cuts back on the use of fossil fuels and natural resources such as water, according to the Meatless Monday website.

“This pledge is about empowering students to make decisions that reduce their impact on the environment and on animals,” Nadabar said.

of first-degree murder and is facing the death penalty.

“You can’t look at that case in any objective way and not know that those three young people, those bright candles, were snuffed out because of hate,” Cheshire said. “I don’t think that anyone in the federal government from people high up in the Justice Department to law enforcement officers have any doubt in their minds that this was a hate crime. I think the president of the U.S. made it clear that this was a hate crime.”

When the news of the shootings first broke, law enforcement authorities alleged it might have resulted from an ongoing dispute over a parking spot.

“I think [the Chapel Hill police chief] knew early on in the investigation that he

made a mistake, and that the department made a mistake,” Cheshire said. “I think everyone on the prosecution side of this case knows and understands what this case is about and why these beautiful lights were put out — and that it was hate and not a parking dispute.”

Through her own research, Nermeen Arastu, a clinical law professor at the City University of New York School of Law, has found that law enforcement officials and the Department of Homeland Security have been guilty of targeting Muslims.

After 9/11, the Department of Homeland Security was created, and one of its missions was to register Muslims within the department, even if they had been in the country for decades or their whole

life, Arastu said.

One of the clauses of the Patriot Act gave law enforcement officials the authority to intensely screen Muslims who had applied to immigrate to the U.S. “People who had any supposed ties that government agencies could be deemed a threat,” Arastu said. “This could be as simple as you share a name with someone on a list. This could be just that you attended a mosque that someone once went to.

These connections are very arbitrary, but if you are deemed a threat, your immigration process could be delayed, denied or you could be deported from this country.”

The New York Police Department partnered with the Department of Home-

land Security and F.B.I. to conduct surveillance of Muslim neighborhoods and communities by listening to their conversations.

“They believed these communities had something scary,” Arastu said. “They were going to what they called ‘hot spots,’ which were halal butcher shops, book stores, Shisha bars, kabob restaurants. They were just hanging out hoping to find something suspicious.”

After years of expensive surveillance, Arastu said in no instances did information gathered lead to discovering criminal activity.

Mannirmal Jawa, a sophomore studying international studies at NC State, said she attended to learn more about hate crime legislation.

“I wanted to have my ques-

tions answered of what’s wrong with North Carolina’s hate crime legislation and why it wasn’t applied in this case and why it can’t be applied to felonies, and I think I had that answered,” she said. “I wanted inspiration to fix it myself and to learn how to do so.”

Farris Barakat, Deah’s brother, said he was surprised to see the interest that those who attended had in the case.

“I definitely thought having Cheshire here and others speaking on this issue of federal hate crime, and state hate crime, and how does it matter and how it applies to this particular case was important so they could hear it from an objective force,” he said.

trance of the Capitol building on Fayetteville Street.

With the presidential primaries set for next month and new voter ID laws in North Carolina taking effect in this election, speakers at this year’s rally heavily emphasized the importance of voting rights.

Rev. William Barber, the charismatic leader of the Mora l March movement and the president of the North Carolina NA ACP, criticized a new law that took effect this year that will require anyone participating in an election to bring a state-issued photo ID or fill out a waiver describing why they don’t have one.

Barber argued that it is one of the ways the Republican-controlled state legislature is working to disenfranchise particularly black and low-income voters.

“They have made it easier to get a gun than to vote,” Barber said.

Barber also spoke about a federal court’s decision to require the state legislature to redraw two of North Carolina’s congressional districts, ruling that the districts were based too heavily on race.

The state legislature requested the U.S. Supreme Court allow the districts to stay in place for this year’s election, but they have yet to receive a reprieve. The legislature is holding a set of public hearings today to begin the process of redistricting.

“T he f ig ht for vot i ng rights is personal for me,” Ba rber sa id. “It’s not a game, it’s not trivial, and it’s a battle that I have had to wage in my lifetime. And it’s a battle we have to wage

videos of Deah, Yusor and Razan, that showed their happiness, thoughtfulness and light.

Moussa was one of Deah’s closest friends and described him as a 6-foot-3 light house — in reference both to the meaning of Deah’s name and the Light House Project, an initiative started in his honor to reclaim the Muslim American narrative. He admired Deah’s “no complaints” attitude and described him as a walking daydream. Deah was a 23-year-old second-year student at the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Dentistry.

Yusor, he compared to both a flower and a queen. She “blossomed ideas” and “wore her hijab like a crown.” Yusor and Deah had been married fewer than six weeks before they were killed, and she had just been accepted into the dentistry program at UNC-CH. She was 21.

Though Moussa had never met Razan, he knew others loved her for her creativity and optimism. She was 19 and had just started her second semester at NC State, studying environmental architecture.

Her father, Dr. Mohammad Abu-Salha, described her as “the breeze of the day.”

News clips of the coverage of the shooting amplified Moussa’s message. They showcased

Under the new law, student ID cards are not an acceptable form of identification to be used at the polls.

Students looking to vote in the upcoming election must have a North Carolina state-issued driver’s license or identification card, a U.S. passport, a military identification card, a veteran’s identification card or an accepted form of tribal identification card.

Severa l students f rom universities across the state were among those invited to address the crowd. Kierra Campbell from UNC-Chapel Hill reminded young people in the crowd, particularly young black people, that the fight for right to vote is still an ongoing battle.

“A war has been declared on us,” Campbell said. “It is a war in which our voices must now fight louder than ever before to be heard.”

Fatima Zohra Hedadji, a senior studying interpersonal communication, said although she came to the rally to protest Islamophobia, there is power in students standing in solidarity with other causes.

“I’m here not necessarily for my own identity, but because this is a place where we can all realize that us standing for each other’s causes a nd each ot her’s struggles can help us lead more towards a solution than us standing in our own corners focusing on our own problems,” Hedadji said.

Farris Barakat, the brother of Deah Barakat, was also present at the rally protesting Islamophobia. He shared the story of Deah, his wife Yusor Abu-Salha and her sister Razan AbuSalha’s murder w ith the crowd for the second year in a row.

Deah and Yusor playing basketball, Deah’s dedication to providing dental care to refugees and Razan holding up a sign with the words “There Is Hope.”

Audience members laughed when watching video clips of Deah and Yusor celebrating their functioning water faucet and Razan telling her sister, “You look ugly today.” They cried when they heard a clip of Yusor’s soft voice in a StoryCorps interview and when Moussa recounted details of their funeral.

Moussa said it is necessary that the United States continue to discuss the Chapel Hill shootings as a hate crime rather than pretending there is no problem.

“Tell me lies, and fiction, and stories, but please don’t tell me that it is OK,” Moussa said.

Moussa received a standing ovation from the audience.

Following the performance, poet and journalist Will McInerney hosted a panel discussion with Moussa, Abu-Salha, Deah’s brother Farris Barakat, and Anna Bigelow, associate professor of philosophy and religion.

The panel discussion allowed for audience interaction in which the panelists shared memories of Deah, Yusor and Razan and reflected on the past year. Moussa said the 45-minute poem was a product of months of writing and remembering the three.

Both Abu-Salha and Barakat sought to clarify that the shooting was a hate crime, not a parking dispute.

Abu-Salha recalled that Deah, Yusor and Razan were nearly inseparable.

“If Razan had lived, she would have died of sadness,” he said.

Abu-Salha referred to Deah, Yusor and Razan as “martyrs of peace” and discussed misconceptions regarding the Muslim faith.

Abu-Salha also expressed his appreciation of the NC State community.

“I thank the Wolfpack for giving my children the happiest years of their lives,” Abu-Salha said. “They really enjoyed it.”

The wave of emotions that Moussa expressed in his spoken word piece were mirrored by students in attendance.

Omar Youssef, a senior studying mechanical engineering, explained the emotions he felt while watching the presentation.

“Seeing all of the pictures brought back a lot of memories of me and Deah, and also the shock,” he said.

Doha Medani, a sophomore studying nutrition science, expressed similar feelings.

The conundrum of outsiders’ triumph

Where are the resources for CHASS majors?

W

ednesday welcomed the ENCCA College of Humanities and Social Sciences career fair to the McKimmon Center at NC State. After receiving several scant emails, I decided to attend, hoping to find some relevant summer job or internship opportunities. I spent hours editing my resume, printed it out on fancy paper, sought my best businessprofessional attire in my closet Katherine and practiced my finest elevator Waller Staff Columnist speech. After strolling around from table to table of unrelated finance jobs to nanny services, I was assaulted with an undeniable perception of a hapless postgraduation existence for humanities majors. On Wednesday, my faith that my university would help provide me with resources to gain invaluable, relevant work experience to ensure a postgraduation career in my field was shattered.

Of course, I know the jokes well — I’ve been asked if my parents approve of my major, I’ve been asked by most people who discover my major is English if I’m planning on teaching. The world never lets a CHASS major forget that they are somehow doing something wrong, that they are somehow living a fruitless existence. This is just a prejudice that exists, particularly in a traditionally STEM university.

Not attending a traditional humanities school means that while I believe I have received an intimate and great humanities education, humanities students often feel brushed under the rug, treated like an afterthought or not given the true NC State student treatment. This is evident in the lack of resources we receive, such as a career fair that offers no opportunities in the fields we actually want to go into, no programs like co-ops and very few paid internships.

But CHASS majors do have career goals. Ask a humanities major what they plan on doing with their major and likely they will give you a surprisingly specific answer. Many of my classmates have incredibly ambitious aspirations and plan on achieving truly remarkable things in their field of study. But, I’m afraid that these ambitions are allowed to sour and stale in a pool of stagnant opportunity.

There are things that can be done to help our CHASS majors achieve their career goals. For example, if the career fair at NC State for CHASS students is not attracting many companies offering relevant opportunities, then we need to be given information about larger fairs we can attend around the state, say, at UNC-Chapel Hill. Companies involved in publishing, digital

media, journalism, curriculum development, marketing, editing, technical writing and social research could be invited to NC State to talk to students or even recruit. There might be fewer jobs in CHASS-related careers, but that just means NC State needs to step up its resources so that these students are the best candidates for the limited jobs.

However, the outlook after graduation for CHASS majors doesn’t look that bad according to national statistics. The unemployment rate of 9 percent for humanities graduates is right on par with computer science and math graduates at 9.1 percent, according to Business Insider. With the national statistic of 7.9 percent unemployment for all majors combined, the future doesn’t seem necessarily bleaker for humanities graduates.

Max Nisen for Business Insider broke down the three laws of future employment: one, jobs come from things that computers can’t do; two, a global marketplace means that there will be lower pay and opportunity in many careers; and three, professional people are more likely to be freelancers in the future. With these laws of business in mind, Nisen claimed that humanities are “a good bet because the things that are hardest to computerize or outsource are going to be the skills that emphasize human interaction. Empathy, sociability, writing, analyzing and reacting to people — all things more likely to come from the humanities than hard sciences.”

CHASS majors enter into a field of study knowing it will be hard, knowing that they will have to pave their own career paths, knowing that it won’t be easily laid out for them. It takes a unique brand initiative and internal motivation to succeed in a competitive field. No one really holds CHASS majors’ hands, and this independence and capability are the unique qualifications of someone who graduates with a humanities degree. I’m tired of the rhetoric of claims that the real world doesn’t want our majors and there is nobody willing to give us a job, because this perception only discourages people from going for their dreams and breaks the confidence of capable and bright students. CHASS majors write their own success stories, both with their independent initiative and a good dose of superb language skills.

Last Wednesday, looking around at what they had rallied together for us CHASS majors, it was hard not to feel slighted. I wish our marketable and unique qualifications were not so overlooked and I truly believe that CHASS majors are more invested in their career field because they have to be. I wish there were better resources to get us the experience we need.

But winners in New Hampshire were usually not winners in South Carolina. Results, so far, have made it more difficult to predict the final winners.

Shortly after results came out in New Hampshire, The Washington Post published a graphical analysis on the past primary elections and how candidates did in each one. In 2008’s race, Republican senator John McCain ignored Iowa but took decisive victories in New Hampshire and South Carolina, and eventually obtained the Republican nomination. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee pocketed the Iowa primary and finished second place in both New Hampshire and South Carolina; however, he did not get nominated in the end.

From the Democrats’ side, John Kerry had sweeping victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, finishing second in South Carolina. He was eventually nominated.

Obama held the nomination by winning Iowa and South Carolina and finishing second in New Hampshire.

These statistics seem to show that the winner of the final nomination of the presidential election needs championship in at least two out of the three states, and to finish second in the remaining one. Mitt Romney in 2012 was an exception. He was first place in New Hampshire and second in the other two states. This happened because his opponents were weak; that year, Santorum won Iowa but placed fourth in New Hampshire and third in South Carolina.

Based on the current results, if Trump and Sanders were able to win South Carolina, it is likely that these two gentlemen would enter the final battle for the world’s most powerful position. These two, however, have been dubbed “outsiders” by the media, which means “not electable.”

This is the contradictory nature of democracy, where a candidate who people are in favor of is not necessarily who a political party wants to represent the group. In this presidential race, many of those who were predicted to be frontrunners are not the favorites to win their party’s nomination.

Trump is by no means a conservative, nor a candidate that evangelical Christians should pursue. John Stemberger, president of the Florida Family Policy Council, wrote an article in CNN politics advocating that evangelical Christians challenge Trump’s past, his moral standing and personal values before voting for him. For example, if Trump were elected, he would be the first president to marry three times, leaving each for the next woman. And Trump is also proud of his sexual openness, stating in his book that he had sex with some of the “top women in the world.” Doing these things as a businessman is fine because it is private, but as a leader of the U.S., this would be considered scandalous. In addition, his immigration policy is so far right that people have compared him to the Nazis.

His speeches have shown little traditional American values: individualism, respect, equality of rights, openness and tolerance.

Sanders is another extreme. He openly claims to be a socialist who wants to transform the U.S. into a country like Denmark.

His far-left policies have even made him isolated in the Democratic Party to a certain degree. Like Trump, Sanders also ignores some of the core values in America: federalism, states’ rights, limited government, the idea of no “free lunch,” etc. He might be able to bring many of Denmark’s public policies to his home state of Vermont, but he would never succeed in getting the Southern states to conform to the road of socialism. Even if he were not elected, his campaign and ideas about a welfare society and socialism are very dangerous to the next generation, because these ideas have proven to fail in history.

Precise predictions will be clearer as the Super Tuesday passes at the end of February. If Trump and Sanders eventua l ly w in t he nominations, A mericans might expect another four years of “ doi ng not hi ng” i n Wa shi ng ton.

Polar Plunge racers brave a frigid Lake Raleigh Christiana Hall Correspondent

Alumni and volunteers came out to Lake Raleigh Saturday to participate in the 11th annual NC State Police Department Polar Plunge. The Polar Plunge is an event in which participants jump into freezing water to raise money for the Special Olympics. This year the plunge raised close to $17,000 for the Special Olympics, surpassing the goal of $15,000.

With temperatures on Saturday in the low 40s and the water temperature at an icy 48 degrees, the stage was set for an exciting but cold afternoon. The event started off with a 5K run around NC State’s Centennial campus attempting to get participants warm before they took the plunge into the frigid water.

Father and son duo Mike and Neil Sidlovsky ran the race together. For Neil Sidlovsky, a freshman studying business, the Polar Plunge is a family affair.

“My brother did the plunge while he was at NC State, so I figured I could do it too,” Neil Sidlovsky said. “I am excited for the plunge, expecting it to be cold, but I know it is for a good cause.”

The plunge is meant to be lighthearted and fun, so many participants choose to dress up.

Locals Kelly Foster and Stevie Rodriguez dressed up in scuba

outfits for the event.

Rodriguez’s son, Speed, a future Special Olympian, was at the race too. She was able to push Speed during the 5K but let him stay and watch from the comfort of the stroller as mom and friend took the plunge.

Rodriguez shared her thoughts about giving back and volunteering.

“I try to do a charity event or give back once a month, whether that’s doing the Polar Plunge, volunteering at a soup kitchen or just a random act of kindness,” Rodriguez said. “The polar plunge in particular is fun because it’s not like a typical charity event. It’s a bit more exciting.”

The event ended with awards being handed out and a few words from Lieutenant William Davis from the NC State Police Department.

“When you hear the stories from the athletes and the families and the impact this has on them, it is overwhelming,” Davis said. “Getting to interact with them and just getting to know them makes you want to do more.”

Davis has hopes of growing the event in the future but knows it is truly a community effort to make it bigger. In the end, the goal of the event is to make a positive impact on the Special Olympics athletes in the Raleigh community.

It’s for a good cause,” Ciaccia said.

No voting on campus in time for primaries Samuel Griffin Staff Writer

The 2016 election has been extremely close so far, with the Iowa caucus decision coming down to a .3 percent difference between Democratic candidates Hillary

Clinton and Bernie Sanders and a 3.3 percent difference between Republican candidates Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. President Barack Obama narrowly won North Carolina in the 2008 general election and the state switched to Mitt

Romney four years later. It suffices to say it is likely that a vote in North Carolina can carry a lot of weight. What about 34,000 student votes?

Despite being used as a voting site in the 2012 election, Talley Student Union is not a place for students to

NC STATE STUDENT MEDIA

Notice of public meetings

NC State Student Media has scheduled interviews with those students who have applied for the top leadership positions at the Technician, the Nubian Message, WKNC 88.1 FM Raleigh, and the Student Business & Marketing Office for 2016-2017.

These interviews are open to the public, and we encourage anyone with an interest in our organizations to attend.

The students will be interviewed by members of Student Media’s Newspaper, Broadcast and Business Office advisory boards, which include students, faculty, staff and industry professionals. There will be time set aside for questions and comments from the public before the advisory board members adjourn to executive session.

The dates and times for the advisory board meetings are as follows: • Newspapers Advisory Board – Monday, Feb. 15, 7:30 p.m., Witherspoon 324 (Student Media Conference Room) – Nubian Message Editor In Chief candidate: Stephanie Tate, sophomore, political science.

• Business Office Advisory Board – Tuesday, Feb. 16, 6 p.m., Witherspoon 324 (Student Media Conference Room) – Student Business Manager candidate: Mary McPhatter, junior, international political science.

• Newspapers Advisory Board – Wednesday, Feb. 24, 6 p.m., Witherspoon 324 (Student Media Conference Room) – Technician Editor In Chief candidates: Gabe DeCaro, junior, nuclear engineering and international relations; Katherine Kehoe, junior, English; Mary Anna Rice, junior, English; and Rachel Smith, junior, design.

After considering each candidate, the advisory boards will submit their recommendations to the full Student Media Board of Directors, which will make the final decision as to next year’s leaders. That meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 1, in Room 356 of the Witherspoon Student Center. (Room 356 is located in the African-American Cultural Center.)

vote in the primary and may not be a voting site in the general election this fall. Students and faculty weighed in on the situation.

“The numbers of voters at Talley last time it was a polling place were significant,” said Jacqueline Lee, former president of NC State College Democrats and a junior studying political science.

“We’re trying to get the support, not only of people on campus, but of the community because not just students would vote at State. It would be people who live in the Hillsborough Street and Western Boulevard area.”

The Wake County Board of Elections moved the voting site off campus during the 2014 midterm election on the grounds of there not being enough parking on and around campus. Pack Polls conducted at the time revealed that many students did not realize that the site had been removed, causing voter confusion.

“A voting place on campus would be a great way to educate students about the elections,” said Sam Potter, president of NC State College Republicans and a junior studying political science. “If there was a way to do it that was accessible and followed the State Board of Elections guidelines, then I think it would be a good idea.”

Lee said that College Democrats is meeting with Student Government and with local community groups to try and garner support for a voting site at Talley. She says she believes it could be possible and that, while Talley is the goal, the group could also see a voting site being located at a different NC State location such as the McKimmon Center.

Currently, most students living on campus and registered to vote using their on campus addresses are assigned to vote at Freedom Temple Church, a location about three miles away from

“Voting sites should be picked that encourage the most turnout at the least administrative costs.”

- Michael Cobb, political science professor at NC State

Central Campus.

“The rules for a voting site state it requires adequate parking, but that rule is often not enforced, and Talley was used in 2012,” said Michael Cobb, a political science professor at NC State.

“In 2012 it was OK, but in 2014 it was not. What’s the difference between 2012 and 2014?”

Cobb said that he was told by the Wake County Board of Election officials that the reason Talley was not used in the 2014 election was because it had never been used in an off-cycle election before, having not been refurbished yet in 2010.

“I found this answer to be disingenuous,” Cobb said.

“Most students don’t know the difference between offand on-cycle elections. All they know is that Talley is where they voted last time.”

Cobb said that another potential problem students may run into in the 2016 election is voter address mismatch: a situation in which a student’s driver’s license or ID has their home address on it that doesn’t match the school address they are registered to vote under. Cobb said that information put out by the

Board of Elections has not clarified discrepancies of addresses or how to resolve them, and it is currently unclear whether or not this problem will affect a student’s ability to vote. Talley’s status as a voting site will be decided sometime in the summer.

“Voting sites should be picked that encourage the most turnout at the least administrative costs,” Cobb said. “Talley would seem to fit the bill. There is parking — faculty and employees park here. If it’s tough for people to drive there, isn’t it tough for students to have to walk miles?”

Lee and Potter both said that College Republicans and College Democrats are attempting to organize rides to get as many students as possible to a voting site for the March primary election.

College Republicans will be hosting a voting drive from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the main lobby of Talley on Tuesday to get students registered to vote in time for the primary.

The deadline to register to vote in the primary is Friday, 25 days before March 15, the day of the North Carolina primary.

WKNC’s 13th annual Double Barrel Benefit concert kicked off at Kings Barcade Saturday to a sold-out crowd of about 300. The event raises money for NC State’s student radio station, WKNC. “We made about $3,000 off the event,” said Matt Brown,

the general manager of WKNC. “These profits will go to keeping WKNC around and allowing them to host more events such as these.”

This past weekend was the indierock night, featuring four North Carolina bands in Naked Naps,

Museum Mouth, Schooner and Des Ark. Double Barrel’s second show will take place in Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro Saturday.

The second weekend focuses on North Carolina hip-hop and rap with Earthy, Deniro Farrar, Professor Toon and Skyblew.

State couples who left with more than a degree Inez Nicholson News Editor

NC State love was in the air Saturday night as alumni couples gathered at the Park Alumni Center to celebrate Valentine’s Day, dance the night away and reminisce on how they met on campus.

Here are a few of their stories: Ed and Billie Jo Schweitzer, class of 1972 It was a Friday night at a Theta Chi fraternity rush party, and the music was blaring. Billie Jo wanted to play a song, and she ran into Ed at the jukebox. They began to chat and f lirt, and he ended up taking her as his date to another fraternity party the next weekend.

They dated on and off for the next year, while she went on a few other dates with some of his fraternity brothers.

“I was a party girl,” she said.

When going steady during his senior year, they went on a date to the NC State v. Wake Forest basketball game. A year later, Ed and Billie Jo were married and have been happily married for 42 years. Both of their children are NC State alumni.

“We still support NC State academically through the Alumni Association and through the College of Design,” Billie Jo said.

Adam and Laura Coninger, class of 2010 Adam and Laura met through Student Government and were on the Diversity Committee together their sophomore year. Adam was the head of the committee, and Laura was a driven student who was inspired to start working on diversity activities immediately.

Impressed with Laura’s initiative, they started hanging out more and more, and then they eventually dated.

“He was such a gentleman, always walking me around campus, walking me back to my dorm,” she said.

They didn’t have their first date for a while because they were friends for so long. Neither could recall their first date, but they remember their first Valentine’s Day — and it still holds a special place in their hearts. They continue their tradition every year.

“We got take-out Chinese food from Shanghai Express on Hillsborough, and I had spruced up my dorm room in Bagwell and had candles out.”

T he y h ad s ome c ompa ny, though. Adam’s roommate was on the top bunk, quietly minding his business while the two enjoyed their take-out dinner.

Tim and Cecelia Lant, class of

1988 and 1992 Tim had just graduated with his master’s, and Cecelia was still in grad school. Cecelia was taking a summer class with one of Tim’s roommates, and on a hot summer day in 1988, a group of his and her friends decided to go canoeing.

Four short months later, Cecilia asked Tim, who had never been out of the country before, if he wanted to go back home to Argentina with her.

He promised her that he would learn Spanish, and many years later, he has not upheld his promise.

However, they have been married for 26 years and look back fondly on their memories at NC State.

Their daughter graduated from NC State last year.

Henry and Linda Lamb, class of 1980 Henry and Linda met on movein day in 1977, and after some chatting, they found out they were both majoring in chemical engineering. On the very first night of college, they went to the Pier, Cameron Village’s underground bar, and stayed until closing time.

Because Linda was an out-ofstate student, she moved in a few days early for out-of-state orientation. She said there weren’t many people on campus, so she was just excited that there were people to

Mike and Karen Leonas dance at the State Mates event at the Park Alumni Center Saturday. Mike, who finished his undergraduate degree in 1976 in civil engineering, and Karen, who finished her undergraduate degree in 1981 in textile chemistry, met at NC State as graduate students. Mike helped during the early stages of designing Centennial Campus as part of his senior design project. After moving away for several years, the couple has returned to Raleigh, and Karen is currently a professor in the College of Textiles.

hang out with.

She ended up spending a lot of time in Tucker, Henry’s dorm, because in Bowen, her dorm, there was no air conditioning. Although there wasn’t air conditioning in Tucker either, there were windows that could be opened to let in the breeze, she said.

Henry said that the men-towomen ratio was basically 9 :1 back in the ‘70s, so he felt lucky to score Linda — so lucky that they got married after their sopho-

more year. Well, that was only part of the reason. Linda wanted to switch her major, but because her scholarship was tied to it, she wouldn’t be able to go to NC State without it. So, in order to qualify for in-state tuition, Henry proposed to her so she could afford tuition.

They both lucked out with a win-win, and they have been married for 38 years. All four of their kids have attended NC State.

With State leading by two inside the three-minute mark, back-toback possessions finished off with a nice jumper by Martin and another gorgeous layup by Barber pushed the lead to six. With State’s lead again down to four with 1:29 to go, Barber drew yet another foul and sank both free throws to put the Pack up 91-85 with under a minute and half left.

The Orange seemingly solved its shooting woes as it opened the second half on a 7-2 run in the first 2:20 to close the gap 28-27. Cuse then went on a 6-2 run to take its first lead of the game 33-30.

Syracuse shot 46.7 percent from the field in the third after shooting just 23.3 percent in the first half.

53-52. However, State failed to score on its next two possessions, forcing it to foul the opposition. Cuse hit two of its four free throws to take a 55-52 lead, keeping the Wolfpack in the game with 2.5 seconds remaining. However, Williams missed the potential game-tying shot.

“It wasn’t a good look, but it was a look,” Williams said. “And I knew we needed three, so I had to get it up there.”

Wilson led the team with 12 points and six assists, while Jennifer Mathurin tacked on 10 points and 10 rebounds for the double-double. For Syracuse, junior Alexis Peterson led all scorers with 16 points and junior Briana Day put up 14 points and 12 boards.

“Our kids fought their guts out,” Moore said. “This loss and the Louisville loss were two [potential] wins that could’ve looked very good on our resume. But we just didn’t get the job done. In this league, you just gotta focus on the next game.”

The Wolfpack has now lost three of its last four games and hopes to turn its fortunes around on the road against UNC-Chapel Hill Sunday.

State rallies for win vs. Wake Andrew Schnittker Staff Writer

Desperate for a win in front of the home crowd Satu rday, t he NC State men’s basketball team got it done in an intense, backand-forth game against the visiting Wake Forest Demon Deacons, prevailing 99-88 at PNC Arena. Saturday was the most points the team scored in an ACC game since Jan. 22, 1992 in a 99-88 win over UNCChapel Hill.

“Every game we play now is a must-win,” junior guard Cat Barber said. “We did it today. We’ll see if we can keep getting wins, but this one was big.”

Barber had a career-high 38 points to lead the Wolfpack (13-12, 3-9 ACC) to victory.

“He’s conf ident in his 3-point shot,” head coach Mark Gottfried said. “He’s getting to the rim, making tough shots. In the second half today he was just unbelievable.”

Sophomore forward Caleb Martin had 18 points in a nice bounce-back performance after a tough game against Duke last week.

Mea nwhi le, f resh ma n g ua rd Maver ick Rowa n had 20.

“It’s tough during t he middle of the season with me going through a little slump,” Martin said. “Ever ybody goes through a

slump here and there; I’m just trying to f igure out ways to get through it. My tea mmates have done a good job of helping me get out of it.”

Senior guard Codi MillerMcIntyre led the Demon Deacons (10-15, 1-12 ACC) with 24 points, freshman g ua rd Br ya nt Craw ford had 16 and senior forward Devin Thomas had 15 and a whopping 21 rebounds.

The team did not get off to a great start, struggling defensively over the first five minutes and change of the game, as it was not able to contain Wake Forest in transition and gave up a lot of easy finishes down low.

Coupled with some poor shot selection by the Pack at the other end as it threw up a lot of wild, rushed shots, the Demon Deacons came out with an early 18-8 lead.

After Wake went up by 10, State woke up, as it outscored the Demon Deacons 22-8 over the next 5 :31.

Martin played a big role in the run, scoring 13 points, including hitting back-toback threes for the six-point lead with 7:59 to go in the half.

“I love seeing those go in,” Martin said. “Those are definitely a little confidence booster. That’s when you know you’re feeling it.

As a shooter, seeing those go in helps you out a lot.”

After the two big early runs for the two teams, the

rest of the f irst half was pretty evenly played, and the Pack took a 46-44 lead to the locker room.

A three by Barber at the 14 : 53 mark of a tight ly contested opening to the second half seemed to galvanize Wake, sparking a 10-3 run for a 69-64 Demon Deacons lead with 11:37 remaining.

With the Pack trailing by five at the 10 :39 mark,

Martin drained another huge three to cut the deficit to two, sparking a 9-2 run that gave the Pack a 75-73 lead with 8:23 remaining.

The run was finished off by back-to-back cuts to the inside to draw fouls by Barber, and he made all four free throws.

No. 3 Wolfpack nabs second top-five win of season Joseph Ochoa Staff Writer

The No. 3 NC State wrestling team completed its regular season on senior day with a clutch victory over the No. 5 Missouri Tigers 18-17 Sunday afternoon at the Holshouser Building of the NC State Fairgrounds.

The win came just two days after the Wolfpack was defeated by the Virginia Tech Hokies Friday night, giving the team its first loss of the season. Head coach Pat Popolizio was extremely proud of his team’s ability to move on from the loss and get the win.

“It was huge,” Popolizio said.

“We took some tough losses Friday night, and these guys came out and didn’t hold back one bit.”

Before the match with the Tigers, redshirt seniors Tommy Gantt and Nick Gw iazdowski were honored at center mat for their career accomplishments

with the team. Gantt was ecstatic to finish the regular season as an undefeated winner.

“It’s great,” Gantt said. “It’s been a long journey for me, and I’ve honestly enjoyed every second of it. I wouldn’t be any other place.

I love it here.”

The match got started with redshirt freshman Sean Fausz going against Barlow McGhee at the 125-pound weight class. Despite both wrestlers trading shots in the first two periods, McGhee got an escape and a counter to win the match 5-2 to put the Wolfpack in an early 0-3 hole.

Sophomore No. 30 Jamal Morris and sophomore No. 3 Kevin Jack were up next at 133 pounds and 141 pounds. Both made quick work of their opponents to get 3-0 and 3-2 decisions respectively to give the Wolfpack a 6-3 lead.

Redshirt sophomore Beau Donahue challenged undefeated No. 3 Lavion Mayes at 149 pounds to

attempt to capitalize on the lead.

Donahue was overmatched from the start, falling behind 6-1 to start the match and eventually falling to Mayes 14-4 major decision after ride time to give the Tigers a 7-6 lead with Gantt on tap.

No. 4 Gantt faced off against No. 29 Le’Roy Barnes at 157 pounds.

Gantt would get an escape, a takedown and a near-fall to get a commanding 5-0 lead going into the third. He finished his regular season undefeated with a 5-2 decision, giving the lead back to the Wolfpack 9-7.

Despite the questionable calls toward the end of his match, Gantt didn’t seem to be bothered by them.

“I’m pretty good at keeping my composure,” Gantt said. “I feel like I reacted the right way. You’re going to have some good calls and bad calls, but you’ve got to keep it going.”

sophomore Nicky Hall wrestled at 165 pounds and 174 pounds, respectively, but neither could capita lize on t he momentum acquired by Gantt. They fell 6-1

and 14-6, respectively, to put the Wolfpack behind 9-14 with junior No. 17 Pete Renda needing to win

Pack falls to Orange in annual Hoops 4 Hope game Daniel Lacy Sports Editor

Mitchell Davis Correspondent

The NC State women’s basketball team fell to the Syracuse Orange 55-52 at Holliday Gymnasium in Broughton High School in the 11th annual Hoops 4 Hope game.

It was a tenaciously physical defensive game, as the Wolfpack (17-9, 8-5 ACC) shot uncharacteristically poorly — 29.7 percent from the field and 4 of 21 from 3-point range — and held the Orange (20-6, 10-3 ACC) to 31 percent from the field. Despite Cuse’s aggressive use of full-court pressure, NC State turned it over just 12 times and forced 15 turnovers.

“They spread their zone out and made it tough for us to get good looks,” head coach Wes Moore said. “But still, the last three games we haven’t shot the way we’re capable of. But give them

credit, they did a good job of getting to people and getting a hand in the face.”

The Pack got started quickly, jumping out to a 12-4 lead in the first 5:30 of the game. State started off a respectable 5 of 10 from the field, but the Orange struggled to find its shooting touch, shooting merely 2 of 9. It was fairly evenly matched for the remainder of the quarter as NC State ended it with a 17-11 lead.

Both teams shot very poorly throughout the quarter, as the Wolfpack shot 12.5 percent and the Orange shot 14.3 percent. They combined for just four-made field goals in the period as the Pack took a 26-20 lead going into the intermission.

Syracuse used full-court pressure throughout the half in attempt to rattle the Wolfpack. State responded well to it, though, turning the ball over only six times to Cuse’s 10.

“Syracuse is a very aggressive team,” junior
