Technician - April 17, 2013

Kevin SchaeferStaff Writer

Many programs and institutions here at N.C. State are dedicated to the wellbeing of our environment and to making the world a better place to live. Among these pro-

grams, the campus’ facilities have

t h e i r o w n Green Clean-ing program, established

in 2010. With minimal chemi-

cal impact on the environment, Green Cleaning makes the air in campus buildings cleaner. Univer-sity Housekeeping’s Green Clean-ing program was recently awarded recognition for LEED certification points by the United States Green Building Council.

Randy Reed, deputy assistant di-rector of housekeeping and founder of the Green Cleaning program, dis-cussed its profound impact: “The Green Program helps University Housekeeping keep the momen-tum going since it is a moving program that can change as new products, methods and services be-come available,” Reed said. “This program is unique to our Univer-sity system and reflects our com-mitment to a new way of thinking and working to make our campus sustainable and more beautiful.”

The program started to take shape in 2004 when University Housekeeping recognized the value of green clean-ing. Housekeeping partnered with various companies to introduce what would later become a full line of green cleaning chemicals. When the Chancellor’s Initiative for water and energy conservation was insti-tuted in 2008, University House-k e e p i n g w a s a lready ramp-ing up for the next step in the green cleaning process. When Reed and other members of his department ful-ly implemented the program in 2010, it was just the beginning of an ongoing commitment to provide a safer and more compat-ible environment for students and faculty.

To improve indoor air quality, members of this program use out-door entrance mats that reduce the amount of dirt that is tracked into the buildings. Additionally, the vac-uums and floor burnishers used to have multiple stage HEPA filters that trap 99.9 percent of the fine dust and dirt particles.

When it comes to water con-servation, the program instituted

the usage of micro fiber mopping systems campus-wide that reduce water usage by up to 90 percent over traditional style mops, contributing to a more effective way of mainte-nance. Through the use of chemical dispensing systems, Green Clean-ing reduces water usage by having these units premix the chemicals, leaving no room for guesswork

or waste. They also save trees by not blowing tissues as much so as to coun-teract the a l-lergic reactions p e o p l e h a v e to these types of pol lutants. In order to conserve ener-gy, the program u s e s e n e r g y ef f icient l ight

tubes and ballasts. This not only saves money, but also reduces en-vironmental pollution by recycling them after use. These types of lights also provide increased lighting with a more natural affect without the increased cost. These examples are just a few of the ways this program is designed to establish a safe and environmentally friendly campus. Ada Baldwin, Director of Univer-sity Housekeeping, discussed her experiences with this unique pro-gram. “The Green Cleaning pro-

gram is our way of being able to assist and maintain a sustainable campus,” said Baldwin. “The products and cleaning methods we use also assist with improved indoor air quality for students, faculty and staff. And last but not least we use an Integrated Pest Control Management system that is safe and sustainable for everyone including the pests.

“The sky literally is the limit,” Reed said. “New techniques, services and products are be-coming available everyday as science and technology fields wrap their brains around the green concept.” Collaborating with the Chancellor and every-one within the facilities depart-ment, the Green Cleaning pro-gram is continually seeking ways to improve, and to build upon the foundation set forth by this department. “We are committed as a department to constantly be on the lookout for products that will further improve our efforts to help make N.C. State a univer-sity that is not only recognized for its outstanding commitment to educational excellence,” Reed said, “but one that is on the lead-ing edge of science and technol-ogy when it comes to having a more environmentally friendly campus that adds to the beauty we see around us every day.”

CHRIS RUPERT/TECHNICIANFrances Seymour, former director general of the Center for International Forestry Research, speaks on the importance of forests and food security Wednesday at the Hunt Library Auditorium. “It’s clear that reconciling forest protection, food security and climate change is like a giant optimization problem.”

Part of the Norman Borlaug Series, Frances Seymour, former director of Center for

International Forestry Research, spoke about the

external influences on

the conditions of forests and their roles in food security snd climate change at Hunt Library

Auditorium Tuesday afternoon.Indonesia served as a common

reference point for Seymour due to its large population, carbon emis-sion rates and expansive forests, all of which contribute to deforestation and environmental problems.

Forests have a significant impact on food security, although there is not a lot of talk about it, Seymour said.

“The role of forests and climate regulations is even that much more important,” Seymour said. “You would think that given all of these contributions of forests to food se-

curity and to agriculture, more generally, and local landscapes, conserving forests would be an important part of food security policy, but they are not.”

Seymour said misconceptions about forests’ roles in food secu-rity often contribute to lack of policy dealing with forestry and regulating demolition of forests.

“It serves the interest of some actors to have you believe that forestry protection and food security are incompatible,”

Experiencing

wellness in seven

dimensions

Brittany BynumStaff Writer

The Student Health Center offered students an opportunity to tour the seven dimensions of wellness through booths in the Brickyard.

The Grow Your Wellness health fair hosted booths pertaining to physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, social, environmental and occupational factors of wellness.

“Most people think nutrition and fitness are the only factors of wellness, but this fair promotes all areas,” Marianne Turnbull, Director of Health Promotions at the Student Health Center, said.

Turnbull said the fair, even in its 15th year, received great evaluations, and it was a good stress reliever.

Thirty-five different vendors, ranging from student organiza-tions, class projects, campus rec-reation, N.C. State police, health centers, and off-campus organiza-tions such as BlueCross BlueShield and Planned Parenthood, attended the event.

Students earned t-shirts for hav-ing their cards stamped in four dif-ferent dimensions and filling out an evaluation form.

The Grow Your Wellness fair also encouraged students to adapt incor-porate new and healthy behaviors into their daily lives.

For instance, Campus Recreation hosted the Reduce Your Waste Chal-lenge through action-packed, cross-fit-style stations helping people to reduce their waste and waistlines by flipping tires and doing related relay races.

Maduro wins election, Capriles contests resultsVenezuelans who support the opposi-tion protest in Caracas and around the world. Anti-Chavista students demonstrate in Raleigh.

Kenneth SmithBienvenidos Correspondent

Venezuela just started the post-chavism era with the disputed win of Nicolás Maduro, the same that Hugo Chávez, who was in power for 14 years, chose as his heir before his death. After the first announce of the results, Maduro had beaten Henrique Capriles by 1.59 points.

The National Center of Elections (CNE in Spanish), said it was go-ing to give the results three hours after the voting process ended, but instead announced the news two hours later, at 11:35 p.m. This cre-ated tension between Venezuelans and uncertainty about the results, and prompted suspicions about ir-regularities.

The doubts grew greater after the results were announced, and with 99.12 percent of the votes counted, Maduro had won with 7,505,338 votes (50.66 percent), against the 7,270,403 (49.07 percent) given to the candidate of the opposition’s union, Henrique Capriles. The par-ticipation was about 78.71 percent.

The representatives from the CNE qualified the day as peaceful. Six months ago, Chavez himself de-feated Capriles.

The candidate from the opposi-tion didn’t recognize the results, and he asked to count the votes again.

N.C. State’s Surround-ings, Alcohol, Friends, Exit Plan organization displayed information about alcohol poisoning. They also introduced an activity called score your pour.

To score one’s pour, a student would fill a cup with his or her percep-tion of a standard drink’s amount of liquid for com-parison against the actual standard.

Pe e r s A d v o c a t i n g Choice and Knowledge, PACK Peers, promoted healthy relationships, encouraging students to write qualities of a healthy relationship on puzzle pieces and explain how they fit together in build-ing a healthy relationship.

“The wellness fair is im-portant because it molds a better you,” Keiara Mor-ris, junior in business ad-ministration and member of PACK Peers, said.

Transportation wanted students to gain awareness of alternative transporta-tion such as bicycling, bus riding, and walking, as these modes of trans-portation were good for both the ecosystem and personal health.

Tevin Byrd, marketing designer of transporta-tion, said carpooling saves money and is better for our environment.

The Men’s Health booth emphasized the importance for men to get regular check-ups or examinations because they are not invincible to in-juries or illness, comparing men more to Clark Kent than Superman.

Campus ministries exhib-ited spiritual health. The Smoking Sensation organiza

forces himself on a female, it is still considered rape.

One activity challenged students to wear beer goggles, which simulated a blood alco-hol content of .25, and walk-ing a straight line simultane-ously.

A mental wellness booth provided menta l hea lth screenings to help students identify whether they face the threat of anxiety, eating disorder or alcohol abuse.

N.C. State Suicide Pre-vention Program shared a chain of hope with written words of love, family and gratefulness to encourage those who may be feeling hopeless.

Seymour said. “There are two convenient untruths. One is that you have to sacrifice forests to feed the world, and the other poor people are the main cause of deforestation.”

Forestry graduate stu-dent Garik Sadovy said he has noticed the effects of these misunderstand-ing in politics.

“A lot of students, fac-ulty and policy-actors outside of the forestry sector have a wishy-washy feeling toward forestry,” Sadovy said.

Lawmakers have adopt-ed this uneasy feeling to-ward sustainable forestry, even though forests have the capability to provide the solution to food secu-rity and climate change issues, Seymour said.

“Forests contribute a large share to food secu-rity and boost provisions of ecosystem services to agriculture, but that for-ests do not yet have a com-

memorative seat at the table in food security debate,” Sey-mour said.

Seymour also said people tend to forget that forests pro-vide access to hunting and are a huge factor to the citizens’ incomes, especially women’s in some countries.

“Food security isn’t just about the availability of food, but the incomes that comes from the forest,” Seymour said. “A large portion of that income is particularly impor-tant to women who often de-rive their share of household cash by gathering, processing or trading forest products.”

Following the lecture, Sey-mour opened the auditorium for relevant discussion, in which students actively par-ticipated.

“I enjoyed stepping back and being able to take a broad view of issues and where our future research needs to be directed,” Lawson Creek-more, a graduate student in forestry, said.

Jaakko Nippala, a gradu-ate student in forestry, said he was glad that there was a discussion about potential solutions to deforestation.

“If we accept the fact the world is doomed, then it means it is going to be [de-stroyed],” Nippala said.

Seymour said that there was a lot more work to be done to save the planet’s for-ests.

“We need to do much more research and much more rais-ing of awareness about the role of forests in contribut-ing to food security and to re-silience in natural disasters,” Seymour said.

Sadovy said he decided to come to the lecture because he is a huge fan of Borlaug, the ecologist for whom the lecture series was named.

“I have a great respect for him and what he did and his life story,” Sadovy said.

Seymour said she was glad to get an input from the audi-ence about what she has been researching and lecturing.

“The most fun part of the talk is to interact with people listening and pushing back and challenging some of what I have said.”

Bake sale prompts major discussion

Nikki StoudtLife & Style Editor

The University Honors Pro-gram’s student-led commit-tees held the “Butts in Seats Bake Sale” from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, April 15, in the Brickyard.

The organizers of the bake sale provoked conversation about recent political state-ments made within North Carolina and across the U.S. that have increased attention to the financial value of col-lege majors and academic disciplines.

For key instance, on Jan. 29, Gov. Pat McCrory said he had instructed his staff to draft legislation that would change how much state money uni-versities and community col-leges receive “not based on how many butts in seats, but how many of those butts can get jobs.”

Jacquelin Morgan, a junior in business administration and one of the students in charge of the event, saw the bake sale not only as a way to address political state-ments, but also as a way to get students involved in the conversation.

“As college students, it’s our duty to speak up for our-selves,” Morgan said. “We re-ally wanted to make students aware of the fact that our fu-tures are being talked about. It seems as though there are only a few students who truly pay attention to what’s being said about us.”

Morgan and two other or-ganizers, Neel Mandavilli, a sophomore in political sci-ence, and Joseph Moo-Young, a senior in textile engineer-ing, came up with the idea for the bake sale after they no-ticed extensive conversations about McCrory’s comments between honors students in the Quad.

“Ever since McCrory’s comments were published, there’s been a lot of talk about the value of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) versus non-STEM majors,” Morgan said. “We wanted to extend the conversation to the rest of the student body.”

Mandavilli said he was mo-tivated to organize the event because of his recognition of the potential effects the topic had on education in general.

“I genuinely believe dia-logue sparks critical thought and reflection,” Mandavilli said. “The Bake Sale did not seek to take a political posi-

tion so much as to promote conversation on topics that strongly affect our educa-tion.”

Volunteers from the Uni-versity Honors Program baked various types of cup-cakes and cookies and attend-ed the table in the Brickyard.

Prices for the goods were determined in relation to the predicted starting salaries of each college major based on a chart com-piled by the Wall Street Journal.

If a student was pursu-ing a major with a pro-jected start-ing salary of more than $50,000, the price of each baked good was $1.50. If the student was pursuing a major with a projected starting salary be-tween $40,000 and $50,000, the price dropped to $1, and if a student was pursuing a major with a projected start-ing salary that was less than $40,000, the price of each good was 50 cents.

According to the abstract on the event’s Facebook page, “this difference in price is in-tended to provoke a conversa-

tion supplemented by argu-ments and statistics relevant to the worth of academic disciplines.”

“We really wanted students to start asking questions,” Morgan said. “Questions like, ‘Why do we think about other majors the way we do?’ Just because someone gets a STEM degree doesn’t mean they’re better than someone in business or the humanities.

It’s not about getting a job, really. Col-lege and the educational experience [are] about learning how to think critically and how to apply the knowl-

edge you gain through the various courses you take.”

The total amount of money raised reached a little more than $60, and all proceeds were donated directly to the Daniel Center, an afterschool program that seeks to narrow the education gap for at risk, and economically disadvan-taged kids in the Raleigh area.

COURTESY OF THE UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM

“We are not going to recognize a result un-til all the votes from the Venezuelans are counted,” Capriles said in a public declaration hearing news of his defeat.

The chief of the CNE, Vicente Díaz, allied to

the opposition, asked for the audit of 100 percent of the votes, due to the slim margin between victory and defeat.

“I want to say to the nation that I don’t agree with lies or corruption, my pact is with God and the Venezuelans. I say this because Maduro said there was intent of a pact be-tween us. I don’t make pacts with those I consider illegiti-mate,” Capriles said.

Capriles also asked people

to go to the streets and pro-test facing the CNE if it didn’t announce a r100 percent re-count of the vote.

And as soon as he said that, Venezuelans across the world went to the streets. Even here in Raleigh, Venezuelans got together, and gathered al-most a hundred people next to Guasaca (Venezuelan res-taurant.)

Viewpoint

In response to the ‘Butts in Seats Bakesale’I’m not sure what point the bake sale was trying to make, but this whole thing would be a non-issue if the government didn’t extort money from individuals in order to pay for services provided to others. Since this is obviously not the case, the fundamental question here — and this is where the real argument lies — is why does the government fund education? Is it to increase the productivity of its citizens by preparing them for suitable careers, or is it to give them the opportunity to indulge in more the abstract topics of academia? Which one, or both — if any — of these goals makes the act of forcibly taking a portion of the earnings of working individuals to provide services for others a morally justifiable decision?

Joshua Chensenior, nuclear engineering

Mental health stigmaDoes it surprise you to know that nearly one in five N.C. State students seeks services at the Counseling Center? Within the past year, 49 percent of N.C. State students report overwhelming anxiety and 44 percent experience feelings of hopelessness. Mental health remains a controversial issue on campuses across America. Decreasing the stigma around mental health issues is a critical part of bettering campus life and ensuring student safety while enacting positive social change. A stigma is when someone negatively judges you based on a personal trait.

The Center is launching a “Stop the Stigma” campaign designed to raise student’s and faculty’s awareness, and provide ways to help those who may be struggling in our community through education and compassion. Faculty will soon receive information about ways to decrease mental health stigma in the classroom, as well as ideas to help students who may be affected by mental health concerns. Students will also receive information on how to help their peers, as well

as themselves, get the support they need to be successful in the college. No one should suffer in silence because of mental health concerns. I applaud the work of the N.C. State Counseling Center to forge an open dialogue about mental health on campus. I am heartened by the message they painted in the Free Expression tunnel, reading, “Challenge your beliefs about mental health issues. Get involved. Be kind to others. Find out more. Because we could all use help.”

‘Regalia’, not ‘costumes’Thank you to all who have an interest in Native American culture and those who attended the Powwow on Saturday, April 6. I would like to clarify the use of the term costume as related to the traditional wear that was seen at this year’s event as reported in the April 8 issue of the Technician. The term costume is used to describe attire which allows a person to portray something they are not. With that being said the use of that term is offensive to Native people and greatly offended the Native population at N.C. State. This implies we are “dressing up” as something we are not. The appropriate word for our traditional attire would be “regalia.” We are not simply trying to be something of the past. We are Native, we aren’t pretending, and we do not wear costumes as a part of our culture. I hope you (and others) will embrace and use the term “regalia” in the future.

‘I hate this time of year’I hate this time of year — when I have to figure out what I’m going to be doing with my life the next semester. You guessed it, I’m talking about making schedules. Trying to figure out the next chapter in my life about three months in advance. I dread every agonizing second of it, from the meeting with my advisor to the final adrenaline-pumping click when I find out if my “perfect schedule” remains perfect.

Which brings me to my main point: classes reserved specifically for freshman. Out of all the restrictions that I have encountered my two years at the university, this one might be the biggest pain in my butt. I can agree with restrictions and reservations specifically for those registered in a major and even those in the minor. I cannot for the life of me, however, understand the use of restrictions for incoming freshman. I have invested a lot of time and money, sweat and tears in this university and the degrees I’m pursuing — and you’re telling me that I cannot fulfill a simple GEP for my women and gender studies minor because the entire class is reserved for freshman? I understand that, I was in the exact same position not too long ago. However, for people like me, who will soon be classified as upperclassmen and more than likely have their life somewhat in order — who know what their majors and minors are and know where they are going in life, there should be no restrictions for us.

So I’m sitting here scrambling, emailing all of the teachers I know, begging and pleading to see if they will allow me into their class. But most of them cannot do anything for me. Not their fault, simply out of their control. Whereas, freshman will come in two or three months from now and register at orientation. Making their “perfect” schedules, even though, in reality, they will probably be switching majors within the semester. Hey, they might even still be considering switching schools. But they will still have precedence in a class over upperclassmen within the major.

Please, don’t mind me. I simply just want to get a high-valued education at an esteemed university within a four year time slot. I really do not believe that is too much to ask. Especially with the amount of money I’m paying in tuition.

and Cameron Village. If you’ve had the unfortunate experience of swatting a tickle on your shoulder and returning with green streaks on your hand, you know what I’m talking about. They’re ev-erywhere.

These wiggling blobs of goo swing stealthily from tree branches, telephone wires, signposts and every other hanging object. Silent-ly sitting at the ends of their solitary webbed strings, the worms wait, seeking to prey on helpless students. Herbi-vores? Yeah, right. I think they’re the next evolutionary stage of flesh-eating MRSA.

Technically called canker-

worms, these ugly creatures even sound disgusting. As the News & Ob-server reported last year, peo-ple can often literally hear t h e w o r m s eating in their backyards. K now w h at that sound re-ally is? “Cat-erpillar poop falling to the ground,” the N&O says.

Back to big government and why we need its sweep-ing hand of increased regula-tion. According to the News

& Observer, warmer winters are causing the booming

worm popula-tion. Canker-worms lay their eggs in the fall, and typically, most of these eggs are de-stroyed by the cold tempera-tures of winter. However, with t he increas-i n g l y m i l d winters we’ve

been having, more and more of the eggs are surviving. Come spring, these eggs hatch — and bam! There are inchworms everywhere.

Yes, dear readers, global warming has allowed nature to launch an invasion. I can only assume our planet is tired of the greenhouse gas abuse and has decided to re-taliate. And retaliate it did — in the worst way possible: fat slugs dangling from thin air. I can’t imagine a more terrify-ing enemy.

With that said, I urge you to turn off all electronic devices. Sell your cars. Buy everything secondhand. Greenpeace only needs to rebrand itself as “Students Against Inch-worms,” and its membership count will skyrocket.

I absolutely hate the idea of increasing governmental reg-

ulation, but if this is what it takes, I urge President Barack Obama and the Environmen-tal Protection Agency to en-force severe limits on green-house gas emissions. We must act now. If we wait any longer, we may end up like the artilleryman from H.G. Well’s War of the Worlds, who bluntly described the Martian attack: “It never was a war, any more than there’s war between man and ants.”

Al Gore’s inconvenient truth is now far more incon-venient that we ever imag-ined.

The real inconvenient truth

Reading days: Not so great

It’s that time again. Sum-mer glimmers in the distance, and the only

thing between us and finals are reading days — which

(ironically) add stress.

Initially, reading days make sense. They pro-vide a little downtime a f t e r t h e last week of classes for us

to prepare for exams. Though after talking with students regarding the examination period, students don’t share the same feelings regarding the days off.

The prevailing consensus is that final exams take an ex-cessive amount of time. The last day of classes is Friday, April 26 and final exams last until Thursday, May 9. For some students almost 12 days elapse before they can claim their freedom.

While professors think stu-dents take advantage of the 12 days to study, most students who live nearby go home and come back in time for their tests. Whether students take advantage of being home to study cannot be determined, but from my experience leav-ing campus usually means leaving my studies behind. Home doesn’t have as many distractions as college, but the environment is not meant for schoolwork.

Reading days make sense to the outside observer, but they secretly create more ten-sion than they relieve. By this

point in the semester students know their professors, under-stand their grading and know how to succeed. If you haven’t figured it out by now, then it might be too late, but for those of you who have, you will study the same amount whether there are reading days or not.

Stress accumulates during reading days. We won’t take t hese days to study, but I have no doubt t he exams wi l l be on your mind like a nagging itch. At this point finals are like ripping of f a Band-Aid — you want to finish them early and quickly. It might not be painless, but who is to say ripping off a Band-Aid is either?

Also, the pain that radiates from your last final will most likely be stronger than the first exam. You can’t study for the last final with three oth-ers in front of it unless you want to get an anthropologi-cal view of organic chemistry. Naturally, the last final on the schedule is the one for which we prepare least.

Larger universities across the country who have a larger number of students enrolled complete finals in less time than N.C. State. Consider-ing the days solely dedicated toward finals, we have nine days. Ohio State and Univer-sity of Central Florida, two of the largest universities in the country, finish in seven days.

You might say I am only choosing universities that support my argument, but throughout my web search the common num-ber was seven. Colleges similar to N.C. State only had eight or nine finals days, but seven was the average. We can complete every single class offered on campus within a five-

day week, s o w h y do exams require almost double the time?

More often than not, examina-

tion period is filled with students trying to keep themselves occupied. For those of you who might not escape campus for home before exams, the large volume of downtime can make time manage-ment even harder. With-out any commitments or classes, your schedule becomes less disciplined, requiring more individu-al discipline to schedule time in between tanning sessions to study for each individual test. The gift of time can be too much if it’s given all at once.

Reading days are unfor-tunately here to stay, but try not to let the stress gauge max out before your first exam rolls around.

Maduro gana la elección, Capriles lo impugnaKenneth SmithCorresponsal

Venezuela empieza la era del poschavismo y lo hace con la victoria discutida de Nicolás Maduro, el mismo al que Hugo Chávez, que permaneció durante 14 años en el poder, nombró heredero antes de su muerte. Según los primeros resultados facilita-dos por el Ejecutivo venezo-lano, Maduro habría ganado a Henrique Capriles por 1,59 puntos.

El Consejo Nacional Elec-toral, que había previsto of-recer los primeros resultados electorales tres horas después del cierre de los colegios, re-trasó su entrega durante dos horas más, a las 11:35 p.m., lo que provocó tensión entre los venezolanos e incertidumbre ante el resultado, lo que ac-recentó las sospechas de ir-regularidades.

Las dudas se acrecientan tras conocerse, con el re-cuento al 99,12 por ciento, que Maduro había logra-do 7.505.338 votos (50,66 por ciento), frente a los 7.270.403 (49,07 por ciento) que se adjudicaban al can-didato de la Mesa de la Uni-dad Democrática, Henrique Capriles. La participación fue del 78,71 por ciento.

Los rectores del Consejo Nacional Electoral calific-aron la jornada como tran-quila y pacífica. Hace seis meses, Chávez se impuso a Capriles por casi diez puntos.

E l c a nd id ato de l a oposición no reconoció los resultados y pide que se re-cuenten los votos.

“Nosotros no vamos a reconocer un resultado hasta tanto no se cuente cada voto de los venezolanos,” indicó Capriles en una declaración pública tras el anuncio de los

resultados.El rector del Consejo Na-

cional Electoral de Venezu-ela, Vicente Díaz, ligado a la oposición, solicitó la audi-toría del 100 por ciento de las papeletas que quedan de-positadas en las urnas tras el voto electrónico, por la corta diferencia que ha habido en las elecciones presidenciales.

“Quiero decirle a mi pueb-lo que yo no pacto ni con la mentira ni con la corrupción, mi pacto es con Dios y con los venezola-nos. Digo esto porque Maduro ha dicho que aquí hubo un pacto. L e s d igo que yo no pacto con la ilegitimidad, con aquellos que considero que no son legítimos” dijo Capriles.

Capriles por su cuenta llamó a la gente a salir a las calles y protestar ante el Cen-tro Nacional Electoral si éste no se pronuncia, ya que, el recuento del 100 por ciento de los votos es un derecho que tienen los venezolanos.

Y así hicieron los venezo-lanos que desde el lunes en la tarde se encuentran en las calles. Aquí en Raleigh venezolanos hicieron acto de presencia al reunirse casi un centenar de ellos frente al res-taurante Guasaca, de comida venezolana.

Estudiantes de N.C. State fueron los primeros en con-tactar a la gente para que fueran partícipes de este acto. La alumna Michelle Milo-slavich, del segundo año en economía, fue quien inició la congregación ante el deseo de dar a conocer su disconfor-

midad con el proceso llevado acabo el domingo.

Con la ayuda de Miguel Migliore, alumno del se-gundo año en ingeniería nuclear, Miloslavich pudo llamar a participar no sólo a los venezolanos sino también a los demás latinos y personas que denuncian el Chavismo.

Para defender su punto de vista, Capriles aseguró que no busca una guerra sino de-fender la voluntad del pueblo

pacifica-mente.

“Le diji-mos al go-bierno que nosotros tenemos un resulta-do distinto al que se ha dado a conocer

hoy, en aras de la democra-cia queremos que se haga una auditoria porque estamos hablando de una diferencia pequeñita,” dijo Capriles.

El gobierno respondió la tarde de ayer que si hace fal-ta, serían más radicales ante el desconocimiento de los resultados electorales. Ante esto Capriles llamó a la gente abandonar los planes de salir a la calle el día miércoles en Caracas, para evitar hechos violentos.

“Queremos decirle a Mad-uro que el gran derrotado hoy es usted y lo que usted representa.”

La Organización de Estados Americanos, la Unión Euro-pea y Estados Unidos dijeron que apoyarían el recuento de los votos ante el margen tan estrecho. Pero el CNE niega la necesidad de hacerlo y el gobierno, pese a aceptar contar los votos la noche del domingo, se negaron contun-dentemente desde el lunes.

Students from N.C. State where one of the first that contacted people so they could par-ticipate in t h is ac t . Michelle Milo-slavich, a sopho-more i n econom-ics, was the one who started the congrega-tion to ex-press her discontent of the electoral process that took place on Sunday.

With the help of Miguel Migliore, sophomore in Nuclear Engineering, Milo-

slavich was able to call people to participate, and not only Venezuelans, but also Latinos and people who stand against Chavismo.

To defend his point of view, Capriles as-sured that he is not look-ing forward a war, but to defend peo-ple’s choice pacifically.

“We said to the gov-ernment that we have a d i s t i nc t result to the one i nd i-cated, and

in the name of democracy we want to audit and count the votes again because we are talking about such a small difference,” said Capriles.

Maduro, on the other hand, said Tuesday afternoon that Chavistas would have to be more radical against the op-position. Just after Maduro said that, Capriles asked people to go home and aban-don plans to go to the CNE in Caracas on Wednesday to avoid violence.

“We want to say to Maduro that today he is the biggest, and what he represents are the biggest losers.”

The Organization of Amer-ican States, the European Union and United States said they would support to count the votes again, and they even offered to help. But the CNE denies the necessity of doing this, and Maduro’s govern-ment, even though it said on Sunday it would agree to count again, now refuses to the recount.

Estudiantes protestan los resultados en Venezuela

Estudiantes venezolanos reunen en el restaurante venezolano Guasaca en Raleigh. Los estudiantes protestan los resultados el la elección presidencial en Venezuela el domingo.

FOTO CORTESÍA DE MICHELLE MILOSLAVICH

Hace tres semanas el jueves, el goberna-dor Pat McCrory

tomó la decisión controver-tida de cerrar la Oficina de Asuntos Latinos/Hispanos, distanciándose aún más de la comunidad latina.

Si usted es como muchos en nuestra área, las probabi-lidades son que usted no ha oído hablar de la Oficina de Asuntos Hispanos / Latinos, y mucho menos saber nada al respecto. El gobernador Jim Hunt creó el cargo junto con el Consejo Asesor del Gober-nador para Asuntos Latinos/Hispanos en 1998 para servir como enlace para atender las necesidades de la creciente población hispana y la oficina del gobernador.

El Consejo Asesor del Gobernador originalmente consistió de 25 miembros, 10 de los cuales operaban ex-officio y 15 de los cuales operaban como miembros votantes. La Oficina de Asun-tos Hispanos/Latinos origi-nalmente empleó dos miem-bros del personal, pero en los últimos años sólo se ha em-pleado un director y un vol-untario. Durante el mandato de gobernador Jim Hunt, la oficina recibió fondos para viajar a través de Carolina del Norte y hacer campañas de difusión con los hispanos en el estado.

Sin embargo, en los últimos años, la oficina ha recibido apenas suficientes fondos para cubrir los gastos de vi-aje para pagar el kilometraje, y mucho menos para hacer compromiso de cualquier t ipo con la comunidad. Irene Godinez, una ex-asis-tente de la oficina que sir-vió durante el mandato del gobernador Mike Easley nos informó que aunque solían dar los saludos en nombre del gobernador en eventos públicos, como en la reunión anual de La Fiesta del Pueblo, organizado por El Pueblo, Inc., su presupuesto nunca les permitió comprar un puesto

ni realmente decirle a la gente acerca de los programas que tenían para los latinos. La in-tención original de la oficina era proporcionar servicios tales como programas de “salud de los migrantes, la capacitación para los intér-pretes, la formación sobre la diversidad cultural, materia-les bilingües, Proyecto Espe-ranza (que trabaja[ba] con mujeres maltratadas Latina), Proyecto de Asistencia Legal Inmigrantes y Servicios Le-gales de Carolina del Norte,” según el artículo Latinos por Alan K. Lamm, para la comu-nidad latina.

Mientras ella estaba allí, Godinez compiló una lista completa de todas las orga-nizaciones hispanas de to-dos los condados en todo el estado. Durante los desastres naturales, la oficina también estableció una línea directa de teléfono y servicios para familias que hablan español que habían sido afectados. Algunas personas pueden sentir que si nunca han oído de la oficina antes de su cierre entonces no les va a afectar particularmente.

El mensaje que envía este cierre a la comunidad his-pana, sin embargo, es que él no ve el valor de invertir

en este grupo demográfico. Dada la falta de financiación que la oficina había recibido en los mandatos después de lo de gobernador Hunt, sólo han sido capaces de llegar a una minoría de la minoría de más rápido crecimiento en Caro-lina del Norte. Un voluntario de pago y un director no pa-recen constituir una parte tal grande de una carga para un presupuesto limitado. A pesar del cierre de la oficina, un portavoz de la oficina del gobernador ha dicho que apoyará la contratación de más personal bilingüe en la oficina de asuntos comuni-tarios y constitutivos. Sin em-bargo, si prometiendo agregar más personal bilingüe a esta oficina exacta, ¿por qué no transferir el ex director de Asuntos Hispanos/Latinos a esta oficina de los asuntos co-munitarios y constituyentes? ¿Por qué no hacer publicidad para puestos bilingües en esta oficina y el Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos a través de los medios de comu-nicación españoles?

baseman Tarran Senay ar-rived too late.

“We have been in a lot of close games where we were behind and have come back a lot this year,” Avent said. “We are used to this situa-tion. That does not mean we always have to get in it, but we are comfortable with that situation, and it pays off.”

Ogburn went to the bench

to give way to Overman who gave up a single then threw a strikeout in his two-bat-ter perfor-mance. Sass-er entered to attempt to close out the contest with two outs and runners on the corners.

Charlotte sophomore sec-ond baseman Brad Elwood hit a ground ball to Ratledge,

but the Charlotte native botched the grounder and

misfired on his throw to Senay as one r u n c a me a c r o s s t o score. Finch-er grabbed t h e b a l l and threw t o S e n a y who fired to

Clyde as Montalbano was caught in between third base and home plate. Clyde hurled

the ball to Austin as Montal-bano was called out trying to tie the game.

“Right off the bat, I thought it was just a routine ground ball until it got under Rat-ledge’s legs,” Austin said.

“Williams did a great job of seeing the ball that got by Senay and made a big time play to pick up the short hop and get it to third,” Avent said. “Austin has been catch-ing as well as anybody can catch. He did a great job of finishing that play and finish-

ing the game.”The Pack will travel to

Atlanta this weekend for a three-game series against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The first game is scheduled for Friday at 3 p.m. with sophomore pitcher Carlos Rodon as the probable starter for State.

ously, we have some great run support with home runs this year. It’s been fun to just keep winning.”

Q: What are some of your motivations?

A: “I love the game, it’s just really fun. My catcher really motivates me a lot, Kirsty [Grant]. She’s my roommate too, so she really gives me a lot of motivation behind the plate and keeps me in the game, keeps my head right.

She’s always there for me, like the rest of the team. I love winning and we want to make it to regionals this year, that’s really a big goal for us.”

Q: How has first year head coach Rychcik played a role in your success on the field?

A: “It’s been a good tran-sition, just some differ-ent coaching styles. We’ve settled in well and love our new coaches. This is the way it works, we have no deci-sion on what happens with our coaching staff so we just have to take what we have and go with it. Adversity in this game happens so we just try

to stay within ourselves, have fun and play the game.”

Q: You pitched a no-hitter against April 4 against UNC-Charlotte, what was that ex-perience like?

A: It was the first no-hitter of my college career, so it was pretty fun. I saw my team-mates and coaches come over after the last pitch. Everyone came out, I had a big smile on my face, and they were all hugging me.”

Q: During the no-hitter, were you aware of what was going on or did you just go out there and pitch?

A: “Well, I saw a couple

zeros up on the scoreboard toward the end of the fifth inning. I did kind of notice it but there’s that whole thing about ‘oh, don’t talk about it,’ the superstition. I’m kind of like that too but I didn’t want to recognize it or think about it, just go out there and make my own pitches and my de-fense will do the work, the offense will do the work and it just kind of happened.”

Q: How do you maintain focus on the mound?

A: I’ve brought into this year a focus on every pitch. Every pitch matters in the collegiate game. When you’re

in tight games, like against UNC this past weekend, you can see how one pitch, or one at bat, can really matter. I just try to keep focus on not who we’re playing but just to go out there and compete for myself rather than who we’re playing. I think one of the biggest things I’ve ac-complished this year is not to throw to the competition we’re up against. It’s more throwing the same way ev-ery time.”

Q: How are you going to use the big victory against UNC moving forward for the rest of the season?

A: “It gives us a lot of confi-dence and a lot of motivation for our postseason. Just hav-ing those wins under our belts is really good for us. I know it was a great way to go out on senior day and it was great to have those wins against our rival. We know they’re a top team in our conference and getting that one is really big for us and gives us some con-fidence against Virginia and Boston College for the rest of the regular season.”

campaign is unclear with a month to go until the ACC tournament kicks off. State will have to earn its post-season accolades on the diamond, but with Senay in the heart of the team’s of-fensive, it will be hard for the opposition to stop the Cardiac Pack.

Sophomore pitcher Emily Wei-man has experienced many suc-cesses in her second season with the Pack, putting to rest the super-stition of a “sophomore slump.”

She has compiled a 20-win sea-son, currently sitting at 21-16, defeated bitter rival UNC-Chapel Hill and has been named Atlan-tic Coast Conference Player of the Week on three occasions this season.

Technician caught up with Wei-man to speak about her stellar sophomore season.

Q: What does it feel like to be named ACC Player of the Week for the third time this season?

A: “It feels good. It’s exciting but I couldn’t do it without the help of my team, the run support, my catchers and my coaches. I can’t do it by myself.”

Q: You’ve won over 20 games this season. What is it like to have such a big accomplishment?

A: “It really comes from every-one else, too. They give me con-fidence, give me the ability to be out there and have my confidence with them behind me on defense. My defense makes plays and, obvi-

The N.C. State baseball team (28-10, 11-7 ACC) held the UNC-Charlotte 49ers (22-14, 6-3 A-10) quiet through eight innings as the Wolfpack picked up the win in Charlotte, 2-1. With the win, State increased its winning streak to 11 games.

“It was a great win,” head coach Elliott Avent said. “Both teams played well in front of a great crowd.”

Senior pitcher Ethan Ogburn (3-2, 2.78 ERA) dominated on the mound, holding the 49ers to only two hits and an unearned run while striking out five batters in 8.1 innings.

“I felt like I had a great rhythm,” Ogburn said. “The competitor in me wanted to finish it, but I thought [Avent] made the right move, and we ended up with the win, and that is all that matters.”

With one out in the ninth, senior pitcher Chris Overman faced two batters. Overman gave up a single to Charlotte redshirt senior right fielder Tony Montalbano. Over-man struck out 49er senior third baseman Shane Basen before giv-ing way to redshirt senior Grant Sasser, who only faced one batter en route to the save.

State started strong by scoring two runs in the first two innings. Sophomore shortstop Trea Turn-er led off the game with a single. Sophomore right f ielder Jake Fincher reached on a bunt single, advancing Turner to second. Both runners moved into scoring po-sition thanks to a sacrifice bunt from sophomore catcher Brett Austin, setting up senior center fielder Brett Williams to score Turner from third on a sacrifice fly into right field for the game’s first run.

In the second inning, senior third baseman Grant Clyde led off with a single. Senior left fielder

Bryan Adametz dropped a sacrifice bunt to move Clyde to second base. Junior designated hitter Sam Mor-gan hit an RBI single into left field as Clyde crossed the plate.

The 49ers started to rally in the bottom of the ninth as Charlotte redshirt senior shortstop Justin Roland led off with a single. Niner senior center fielder Michael Green

followed with a fielder’s choice as sophomore second baseman Lo-gan Ratledge’s throw to senior first

Baseball extends win streak to 11

JOANNAH IRVIN/TECHNICIANSenior relief pitcher, Ethan Ogburn, pitches during the 5-0 victory over UNC-Charlotte on Tuesday Feb. 19. The Wolfpack visited Charlotte for the first time since 2002 on Tuesday.

The N.C. State baseball team is currently on an 11-game winning streak. Senior first baseman Tarran Senay has been the clutch perform-er for the Wolfpack as the season winds down.

“We are on a good run right now,” Senay said. “We are playing a lot bet-ter than we did in the beginning of the season, and we just have to keep getting better.”

Senay, who has played in all but one game this season, leads the team in runs batted in with 36 and in hits with 49. He is tied for seventh in the Atlantic Coast Conference and 45th in the country in RBIs, while rank-ing ninth in the ACC in hits.

“There have been a lot of people that have made clutch plays,” Senay said. “I do not get those RBIs if no-body is on base.”

He also leads the team in multi-RBI games with 11. The closest teammates, sophomore shortstop Trea Turner and sophomore catcher Brett Austin, have had six.

The South Park, Penn. native has also had his share of home runs. He currently has four long balls on the season, second on the team behind Turner’s five.

Senay’s success directly corre-lates with State’s success as of late, earning a .436 batting average and a .538 slugging percentage in the last 10 games. His hot streak has been especially exemplified against conference opponents. He went a combined 10-for-24 with three

runs, a double, five runs batted in and a walk in the six games against ACC foes Virginia Tech and Boston College. In the final game against Boston College, however, he saw his 12-game hitting streak come to an end.

In the non-conference victories during the stretch, he went 5-for-11 with three runs, a double and three RBIs, including the two-run single at home against East Caro-lina that provided the only scoring of the game.

The Pack is making a run to win the ACC Championship this season.

Senay needs to help lead his team in the coming weeks, especially during the next conference series at home against the rival North Carolina Tar Heels, ranked third in NCAA Base-ball RPI and first in all other polls.

“We need to play the best three games we can against UNC,” Senay said. “They always give us the big-gest challenge. Whoever plays hard-er and better usually comes out on top, but no one knows what will happen in the series. Every game is a fight and a battle.”

As the season comes to an end, Senay’s time in a Wolfpack uni-

form does as well. His time with State will be unforgettable for him and for the students and fans that followed the team during his col-legiate career.

“The entire experience has been awesome,” Senay said. “The best decision of my life was com-ing here and playing here for the past four years. Hopefully, we can make this year special as we con-tinue on through this season. It has been wonderful here, and it
