Chancellor lobbies against budget cuts

Nicky VaughtDeputy News Editor

Chancellor Randy Woodson, in the company of many higher-education leaders, outlined the ramifications of Gov. Pat McCrory’s proposed budget during a Faculty Senate meeting Tuesday. The pro-posed cuts on education present many challenges, Woodson said.

McCrory’s budget may cut up to $139 million from the UNC Sys-tem. The Chancellor reaffirmed at the meeting that he is lobbying to fight the proposed cuts, which have yet to be approved by the General Assembly. The chancellor said he’s been lobbying for the UNC System a week before the budget was an-nounced, and today Woodson will be at the General Assembly to ad-

vocate further.UNC System President Tom Ross

said the five-year plan for the system the Board of Governors put forth in-cludes the possibility of doing away with general education courses as well as paying more attention to retention versus graduation rates.

Following Woodson and Provost Warwick Arden, who discussed stra-tegic plans, Ross briefly explained a five-year plan for the school system at a faculty senate meeting Tuesday afternoon.

“There are people — I’m not one of them — who think there should be a prescribed set of courses [to get] a degree,” Ross said.

Ross said he would rather focus on training students toward com-petencies relevant to their prospec-tive vocation than have students take courses that have no bearing

on their employment.The president also said the Board

of Governors wants to fund more job-earning degrees than not.

Of all North Carolina adults, only 26 percent have a Bachelor’s degree or higher, according to Ross.

The president maintained that by the end of the five-year plan, 32 percent of adults in the state should have at least a Bachelor’s degree. Staying on that trajectory, North Carolina could be in the top 10 educated states by 2025, Ross said.

The plan includes making trans-fers easier so as to reduce the fac-tors in students’ retaking courses, according to Ross. He also said he hopes to target North Carolina adults who have some type of col-lege credit but no degree.

Ross did not say anything that showed support or opposition to

Gov. McCrory’s established stance on liberal arts degrees. He did say, when presenting the plan to pro-spective Chapel Hill chancellors, the potential chancellors support-ed the plan.

“There are parts of the plan people agree with and parts they don’t,” Ross said. “I’m happy to talk about that, but I think it’s very helpful that we have a plan.”

According to Chancellor Wood-son, the budget the General As-sembly will put forth may not be the same as Gov. McCrory’s. The legislature holds a supermajority in Republicans, and the McCrory administration has yet to face much opposition in the General Assembly.

On one hand, McCrory’s pro-

After everything that has oc-curred in Venezuela lately, Techni-cian talked with Yon Goicoechea, member of the Venezuela’s oppo-sition and one of the students who created the Student Movement, which led Chavez’s first defeat in an election in 2007 when he lost a referendum to change the con-stitution. Goicoechea was also the winner of the Milton Fried-man Award for the Liberty, he is in charge of the Institute for the Young in Caracas and he is the member of the opposition party “First Justice.”

Venezuela will hold new elec-tions on April 14 after the death of the former President Hugo Chávez, and officially the cam-paign has started between Nicolás Maduro, the successor of Chávez, and Henrique Capriles, the gover-nor of the state of Miranda.

“I expect that the government will show its irregularities,” said Goicoechea, referring to what he expects in this campaign. “If the opposition losses, we can’t take a lot of value in this election. The Center of National Elections is not impartial; there is even 1 or 2 million of people who vote against the law.”

The Venezuelan army, with Minister of Defense Diego Al-fredo Molero Bellavia leading, announced that they would go out to the streets to protect the “revolution” from Chávez.

There is currently an outbreak of the norovirus, a virus that occurs mostly during the winter season, spreading through Raleigh.

“Outbreaks are only the tip of the iceberg,” Otto Simmons, bio-logical and agricultural research assistant professor, said.

Symptoms include fever, head-aches, chills, muscle aches, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. Not many people make an ap-pointment with their doctors or local health centers because their symptoms pass. This leaves a large number of unknown outbreaks unrecorded.

The case of the norovirus is mild, and it is also hard to assess where it comes from because there are so many different pathways the virus can travel through, according to Simmons.

The virus can easily infect others through exposure, so it is crucial to adequately wash hands after using the bathroom and clean up after. The virus can also spread through water and food. If a restaurant-worker or food-handler hasthe

norovirus and does not wash their hands, the virus can easily seep into foods they are preparing or packag-ing.

Humans tend to catch the virus from being in environments with

close proximities such as cruise ships, daycare centers, and nurs-ing homes. People who have been affected and cured from the virus can still shed it for three weeks in the bathroom stool. The norovirus

is an equal opportunity infector that affects a wide range of people.

If a person has the symptoms, it is encouraged that he or she stays

N.C. State’s honors pro-gram engaged students and faculty on the rising issue of sexual assault in the military. The event featured a screening of the documentary film The In-visible War by Kirby Dick followed by a discussion panel of military person-nel from U.S. Army base Ft. Bragg.

Comprising nine ex-perts, the panel spoke on questions about the con-cern of military sexual assault and trauma.

The panel included Jenn Scott, N.C. State’s Wom-en’s Center Assistant Di-rector for Interpersonal Violence Prevention, Col. Marilyn Brooks, head of Ft. Bragg’s Sexual Harass-ment/Assault Response and Prevention Program, Kelly Taylor, Ft. Bragg emergency room nurse su-pervisor, Deanne Gerdes, director for the Fayette-

ville Rape Crisis Volunteer Community Center, SFC Simmons, Cirby Graham, Sgt. Kellie Berg, supervisor Fayetteville police depart-ment’s Special Victims Unit & Cyber Crime, Sgt. Chris-tian Hall, member of the N.C. National Guard, Paul Daily, Special Victims Unit crimi-nal investigator.

All of the panelists agreed that it’s the bond of loyalty being betrayed in a military sexual assault case that goes against the moral values of any section of the armed forces.

“The word ethos is a value we live by,” Hall said. “We live by our morality and what is happening is a family issue between our said broth-ers and sisters in arms. The equivalent to what is happen-ing is incest.”

The facts align with the panelists’ views, as 80 percent of sexual assault victims, in military cases, don’t report their experiences.

25 percent of military per-sonal state that their reasons

for not reporting the crime are due to their superior being the one who raped them.

According to the panel-ists, the idea of rape being “just another occupational hazard in the military” cre-ates a stigma for those wish-ing to help victims.

“Rape is not an occupa-tional hazard,” Hall said. “It’s not something that comes along with it it’s a crime – a vicious one.”

Students and faculty alike repeatedly questioned the panel on the steps that were being taken to combat the invisible war.

“We can change the poli-cies and systems,” Daily said. “It’s changing the people that’s our biggest struggle.”

The panel reaffirmed the film’s message explaining that what victims of sexual assault, both male and fe-male, just need belief in their stories and themselves.

ridiculous position asking to vote for one sector,” said Goicoechea, explaining that Maduro doesn’t have the leadership or control that Chávez did.

Right now, Vice President Maduro is in charge of the country. Goicoechea com-mented on Maduro’s lead-ership, saying, “The Consti-tutional Chamber decided that becuase Chávez was the same person that gov-erned the last period, there was no need to do a presi-dential oath like the consti-tution says.”

“Because Chavez never started his new period due to his sickness, the Presi-dent of the Congress should have called for elections Jan. 10, but they lied, and that time was used to make people get to know Maduro, who would become the new candidate,” Goicoechea said. “The constitution does not exists if there are no professional judges who will respect it.” Goicoechea said he thinks the legisla-tive, executive and judicial branches of Venezuela are monopolized by “Chavis-mo.”

“In Venezuela there will be no change until the Ven-ezuelans understand that there are no legal ways to report the violations to the constitution,” Goicoechea said. “Not so long ago there was devaluation of the cur-rency by 50 percent. There is lack of food, we barely

produced and we depended on importation. We have an economic crisis ahead of us.”

Now there is less than a month for elections, and Venezuelans wil l decide which road they will follow, and Henrique Capriles said he’s determined to win after losing against Chavez in Oc-tober 2012.

“It is impossible to find a candidate in only one month,” Goicoechea said. “Capriles was elected in pri-mary elections and is known by the country, any other guy would have created problems in the unity of the opposi-tion.”

Goicoechea sa id t he Capriles’ campaign will not be easy at all, and that the op-position is trying to convince the public the importance of the opposition’s new oppor-tunity.

“If Maduro wins, I can be sure he will not finish his pe-riod, how can he finish when the crisis explodes? When the missions suspend the funds, what is he going to do? All this revolution is coming to an end and is inevitable that it will fall,” Goicoechea.

If Capriles wins Goicoechea said there will be controversy as well.

“We will try to f ind a change, but this change will be slow since the government under Chávez has a monop-oly in the country, but I ex-pect the country to get better in around two years. I wish Chávez could have lived to see all what he did to the country, and see Venezuela fall in crisis.”

posed budget fully funds enrollment growth, accord-ing to Woodson, and would allot about $50 million to the university system.

“Obviously, N.C. State being one of the campuses that continues to expand — primarily in graduate enrollment,” Woodson said. “We’re a big part of enroll-ment growth funding, and that’s a good thing.”

On the other hand, Mc-Crory proposed about a $139 million reduction to management and flexibility budget that all campuses use to operate, Woodson said.

According to Woodson, under McCrory’s plan the University would lose $43 million in the first year and “$30.6 million on a non-re-curring basis.”

The governor proposed an additional tuition increase, a 12.3 percent increase for out-of-state students. McCrory’s proposed tuition raise ex-ceeds that which the Board of Governors has approved.

“It’s better than it could have been,” Woodson said.

Evidently, McCrory had planned to raise tuition on international graduate stu-dents, Woodson said.

“We would be the f irst campus in America to spe-cifically charge a student more in tuition from India as compared to Indiana,” Woodson said. “This is not good. This would have sent a very strong signal for the state of North Carolina that would not be complimentary of any of our universities, or frankly, it would have a huge impact on the industries in the Tri-angle that rely on a lot of the talent that we produce.”

Woodson said the final budget did not include any tuition raise on international students.

For the sake of the Univer-sity’s reputation, Woodson said the out-of-state tuition increases should not affect undergraduate students as to encourage more to attend the University.

“We hope we can have in-fluence over this in the Gen-eral Assembly,” Woodson said. “We’re going to work

hard to do that…. We’ve got some pretty big fish to fry.”

Provost Arden also briefly outlined the strategic and action plans established in spring and fall of 2011, re-spectively.

The strategic plan, accord-ing to Arden, would require a $114 million continuing budget. It would also require a $208 million cumulative one-time cost and $198 mil-lion cumulative cost for new faculty space.

Arden emphasized growth of faculty, increasing gradu-ate and post-doctorate en-rollments and hiring more academic advisors.

The figures for the strategic and action plans are all pro-jections for 2020.

Though Woodson was not expected at first to speak at the Faculty Senate meeting, his presence shows the ur-gency of budget process.

“We’ve got some pretty big fish to fry,” he said. “We hope we can have influence over this in the General Assembly, and we’re going to work hard to do that.”

The staff of the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center in Chapel Hill hatched an idea in 2010 — to find a way to bring informal science education to North Carolina.

What resulted was the first statewide science festival in the U.S. Starting April 5, more than 300 events all over the state will be hosted by libraries, parks, muse-ums, clubs and schools, to unite North Carolinians in celebration of science, tech-nology, engineering and mathematics.

With more than 77,000 people attending its inaugu-ral festival and with 233,750 in attendance last year, the festival is geared up to be the largest yet, according to Karen Kornegay, the public information officer of the NC Science Festival.

“Most North Carolinians will experience the North Carolina Science Festival through an event near home,” Kornegay said. “Our goal is to have at least one festival event — hopefully many — within a 30-minute drive of anyone in North Carolina. This year we’re very close to that goal.”

Festival organizers expect about 300,000 people to at-tend the festival this year, Kornegay said.

Many Raleigh-based mu-seums have also jumped on-

board to support the festival, helping to make the festival easily accessible for N.C. State students.

Hardin Engelhardt, the ex-hibit and program developer for Marbles Kids museum in downtown Raleigh, said the museum has been involved with the science festival since the beginning and she has come to look forward to it every year.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to partner with other folks who are also trying to get kids and families inter-ested in STEM, so it’s not just

Marbles kids museum but a whole statewide community of folks who recognize STEM is important and that STEM learning and STEM interest and curiosity starts very early and very young,” Engelhardt said.

With Marbles playing host to the N.C. State chapter of the National Science Teach-ers Association’s science fes-tival offering, Sound Science, scheduled for April 14, and the N.C. State Food Science club’s Sweet Science program set for April 14, the festival has also given students the

opportunity to participate in engaging the audience with informal science education, Engelhardt said.

Other new events also have connections to the Univer-sity, including the Statewide Star Party and a summit or-ganized with the Institute for Emerging Issues at N.C. State.

Jobi Cook, an associate di-rector of the North Carolina Space Grant, helped organize the funding of the Star Party.

On April 5, astrophysicists from N.C. State are scheduled to participate in the star gaz-ing at Reedy Creek Observa-

tory, joining more than 40 other sites in recording data for the GLOBE at Night, a citizen science program re-garding light pollution.

Cook said she first heard about the festival when More-head Planetarium and Sci-ence Center administrators contacted the Space Grant with a request for help.

“When the request came in, we realized it was right in alignment with our goals and objectives for the Space Grant, which is to increase awareness for STEM related activities that are going on in

the state of North Carolina, Cook said. “[Events such as these] give people the op-portunity to learn some-thing different and to know they are part of a statewide scientific effort.”

In addition to helping bring science education to more North Carolinians, N.C. Sci-ence Festival organizers also hope to highlight the educa-tional, cultural and financial impact of the STEM disci-plines on North Carolina.

According to Kornegay, a few representatives of North Carolina-based corporations have also become involved with the festival through sponsorships or participa-tion in the festival’s advisory board.

“It’s really important for people to understand how much of our state’s new econ-omy relies on science, and we need to keep building oppor-tunities for people to under-stand more about the science in our everyday lives,” Korne-gay said. “Corporate leaders understand that STEM ca-reers ... are really important to North Carolina’s economic growth. Those careers tend to offer the best-paying jobs and the best opportunities for advancement. And the companies that hire people in STEM careers are often the companies that are most likely to weather an economic downturn.”

home to keep from exposing it to others. He or she should also be extremely careful in cleaning up any vomit or diarrhea by using gloves or disinfecting Clorox wipes or bleach.

It is also important to drink plenty of fluids, according to Simmons. Gatorade is recom-mended.

There is nothing doc-tors can do except provide IV therapy for loss of f lu-ids. Most people deal with symptoms at home and stay hydrated.

“Noroviruses were respon-sible for 68 percent of viral food borne viruses and ill-nesses,” Simmons said.

Simmons described the virus as a really stressful time with explosive vomit-

ing. There were times that he thought he would die and times that he wished he had died.

“It was horrible. The worst part of it was feeling dehy-drated,” Ariel Hickerson, se-nior in Psychology said.

Hickerson caught the vi-rus from a friend in Sanford, where she resides. She said that classes were cancelled in community colleges around Sanford because no one could attend class.

The norovirus was discov-ered during the 1960s in Nor-walk, Connecticut. It was un-like any other virus because of its small round structure.

Lee-Ann Jaykus, food, bioprocessing, and nutri-tion sciences professor, leads a group on campus, called NoroCORE. The purpose of the group is to provide fellow-ships and develop research about the norovirus.

The CORE stands for col-laborative outreach research education. It is a strong re-search collaborative of 10-12 universities working on dif-ferent aspects to understand and control viruses.

Jaykus and Simmons work on undergraduate and grad-uate curriculum on food-borne viruses. Simmons also works with farmers and develops education mate-rial about fresh produce and other foods.

Humans are the host of the norovirus and are transmit-ted by exposure. The noro-virus is highly infectious and spreads from person to person.

It only takes 24-48 hours to ingest the virus. Symptoms may only last a day or two causing people to think they only have a stomach bug.

The Republican Party is taking us straight to hell. At least that’s

the message you would have walked away with had you attended last week’s “Save our State” conference.

Last Thursday, several university professors met

a t D u k e University’s campus to complain about Gov. Pat McCro-ry and the Republican-controlled General Assembly, mos t ly to protest the

proposed $139 million in cuts to the UNC System. The panelists had a lot to say, voicing concerns about everything from the rejec-tion of Medicaid expansion to the proposed changes to voter ID laws. Nancy MacLean, a professor of history and public poli-cy at Duke, stopped just short of call-ing the GOP racist in her criticism, ref-erencing Barry Goldwater’s 1964 presidential campaign.

Where’s Michelle Obama when I need a good eye roll?

One “Save our State” complaint was that North Carolina public spending on K-12 education ranks 46th in the nation. Howev-er, we’re also at the bottom of the list when it comes to being debt-free — there are only two states that owe more money to the federal government than North Carolina. Look at it that way, and you could say it makes sense...

Plus, McCrory’s proposed budget includes funding to hire 1,800 new teachers and help 5,000 at-risk 4-year-olds go to pre-school. This is a far cry from an educa-tional Armageddon.

The “Save our State” logic is a bit skewed. Helen Ladd, a professor of public policy studies and economics at

Duke, claimed McCrory and his General Assembly min-ions are depriving the state of education, and thus its most valuable resource.

Here’s the problem: North Carolina’s most valuable re-source is not education. It’s not tourism, it’s not manu-facturing and it’s not technol-ogy. Big government won’t say out loud what we need most because our greatest re-source is tapped out: money.

I’ve heard the justifica-tions for spending ourselves into the ground, but consider this – when the money dries up, so does progress.

No, you may argue, Ameri-ca is a free country. We house the greatest scientists and mathematicians in the world. Innovation will forever fuel our economy.

Yeah, well, freedom and cultural gusto have noth-ing to do with it. The Nazis and the Soviet Union both did just fine in the world

of scientif ic progress. The guys behind t h e B e r l i n Wall beat us in the first space race . Com-plain all you

want about how trimming education funding is going to slaughter American in-novation, but in the end it won’t matter when we won’t be able to pay for anything. Obama’s proposal to map the brain pales in comparison to NASA’s achievements. One million dollars toward brain mapping? With $16 trillion in the hole, he’s lucky to get even that.

In the end, debt is debt, and we’re drowning in it. When the 2008 meltdown hit us full force, our state government — already in the red — could do little to provide jobs. This is not even a column about smaller government — just fiscal common sense.

It’s ironic that coordinators decided to name this event “Save our State,” because that’s exactly what McCrory is trying to do.

Pink ribbon causes struggle without green

Last semester, I in-terned with Pretty in Pink, a nonprofit

foundation whose mission is to help those diagnosed

with breast cancer receive treat-ment, e ve n i f they have l it t le or no health insur-

ance. The ladies who started

the nonprofit were chang-ing and saving lives, but there was one problem – money.

I was put off after learn-ing that several grant pro-posals made by the direc-tor of Pretty in Pink were rejected. It is a sad case, but not unheard of among grassroots nonprofit orga-nizations.

After all of the hard work that goes into run-ning Pretty in Pink – and similar organizations – it receives gratitude in re-turn — but you can’t pay bills or fund operations with gratitude.

Fundraising can only take small nonprof its so far, and government funding is hard to come by — and the grants they do earn don’t exactly fill

their purses. More often than not, small organizations are overlooked when it’s time to dole out grants, but they are the ones who need it most.

I was curious to see what the government had funded, so I took to Google. Accord-ing to a list of federally fund-ed programs, Indian Arts and Crafts Development received $1.052 million in grants. In-dian Arts and Crafts. De-velopment. A program “to encourage and promote the development of American Ind ia n a nd A la sk a Na-tive arts and crafts.”

Meanwhile, last September Wrightsville Beach Magazine reported that Pretty in Pink has raised a little more than $1.5 million in a decade and a half. Mind you, that sum is comprised of federal grants and fundrais-ing initiatives.

The government gave a lit-tle more than $1 million to promote something that we all did in elementary school for playtime. I know that this type of “craft creating” is probably a bit more com-plex then gluing un-cooked macaroni to a paper plate, but it angers me to think the money given to that cause could have been given to a

nonprofit company whose mission is to save lives.

Obviously, I have nothing against preserving culture, and I especially have noth-ing against American Indian and Alaska Native people, but I just can’t help but feel that small nonprofits are getting the short end of the (Elmer’s glue) stick.

It saddens me to step back and look at which industries

thrive in our country.

T he non-prof it world is struggling, yet the “adult movie” world is thr iv ing. According to Forbes, it pulls i n a r o u n d

$750 million in revenue a year. A woman working in that industry pulls in be-tween $100,000 and $300,000 on average, much more than the salaries of directors of small non-profits.

I personally do not think there is anything wrong with being involved in the adult movie industry — to each their own. But do we care more about the sexualization of breasts than the women to whom they belong?

“... Small

nonprofits are

getting the

short end of

the stick.”

Save our State

Give ‘em hell, RandyChancellor Randy Woodson ad-

dressed Gov. Pat McCrory’s pro-posed budget at the faculty sen-

ate meeting Tuesday. McCrory’s budget, if implemented, would cut $139 million from the UNC System, in addition to other one-time cuts in the first two years. Woodson ex-pounded on the good and bad while hinting at the ugly during the meeting.

We shall begin, as did Woodson, by re-minding our audience that the governor’s proposed budget is just that — a proposal. As the chancellor put it, “The General Assembly does what [it] wants to do.” One might argue that much of the outrage over the budget is irrational and speculative in nature, but let’s keep in mind that McCrory is working with a Republican legislature, too.

By the time the North Carolina legislature drafts its final budget, it may look a bit dif-ferent from the governor’s, but probably not too much.

The goodChancellor Woodson, showing symptoms of

optimism, began his talk at the Faculty Senate meeting with the good news. The governor’s budget would fully fund enrollment growth. “That’s about $50 million to the system,” Woodson added. Graduate student enroll-ment is where most of those funds would be

allo-cated. And that’s a nice change, because, as Woodson noted, “We’ve not been completely funded in enroll-ment growth for a few years now.”

A growth plan approved by the chancellor and Provost Warwick Arden last year projects student enrollment — now at about 34,000 — will grow to 37,000 by 2020. According to a University press release, much of that growth will be in graduate and doctoral programs.

And that concludes the good news.

The badThe UNC System will have to say goodbye to

$139 million, or 5.56 percent of its total budget it uses to operate the universities. Addition-ally, the proposed budget will subject univer-sities to non-recurring costs in the next two years totaling another $73.6 million in cash that would go back to the General Assembly.

To “absorb” some of the blow from the cuts — though we think it would only exacerbate the situation, as does Woodson — the gover-nor proposed a 12.3 percent increase of out-of-state tuition. That is “above and beyond” what the Board of Governors approved.

Most of N.C. State’s out-of-state students are graduate students. So the proposed fund-

ing for enroll-ment growth

makes less sense if the University is not able to attract graduate students outside of North Carolina. And let’s face it, we’re not the Mas-sachusetts Institute of Technology. The reason why people come to N.C. State is because of the quality — and affordability — of the edu-cation system.

That’s nothing to sniff at. N.C. State’s commitment to out-of-state

students is part of the reason the Triangle is one of the fastest growing areas in the nation. The out-of-state and international students who earn graduate degrees from UNC System schools keep Triangle-area businesses more than happy or start businesses of their own. Losing them would hamper economic growth in North Carolina.

Woodson also expressed concern for a de-crease in the repair and renovation budget. “We’ve got a lot of deferred maintenance on our campus,” Woodson said. But of McCrory’s $300 million of R&R funds, only $50 million would go to UNC System schools. This is not a favorable change because, as Woodson noted, the UNC System is used to receiving 50 per-cent of the total R&R budget.

It could have been uglyWoodson continually reminded the Fac-

ulty Senate that the proposed budget could have been much worse. He mentioned that there was talk of the governor considering a surcharge on the tuition of international stu-dents, which was not included in the budget, thanks to lobbying on behalf of the Office of the Chancellor. That surcharge would have further hindered industries in the Triangle.

Woodson and his friends in the private sector (influential people at SAS and IBM, etc.) badgered the governor during his final week of drafting the budget. And for that we applaud Chancellor Randy Woodson. After being badgered, McCrory asked, as Woodson recounted, “How many people are you going to have call me, Randy?”

Although some of the grimier parts of the budget may be worked out in the wash, it’s important to keep a wary eye on McCrory and the N.C. legislators. N.C. Student Power Union will be demonstrating on April 15 and May 1 to urge the General Assembly to create a better budget, and you should go. Randy Woodson is a powerful man, but changing the minds of the McCrory & Co. will require several more strong voices.

Ante los hechos ocur-ridos en Venezuela en los últimos días, el Technician habló en exclusiva con Yon Goicoechea, miembro de la oposición venezolana y uno de los estudiantes que crearon el Movimiento Estudiantil que en 2007 logró que Chávez perdiera sus primeras eleccio-nes en su mandato al perder un referendo para cambiar la constitución. Así mismo fue ganador del Premio Milton Friedman para el Avance de la Libertad, está a cargo del instituto de la juventud de la Alcaldía de Caracas y es miembro del partido oposi-tor Primero Justicia.

Venezuela va a tener elec-ciones el día 14 de Abril luego de la muerte del Presidente Hugo Chávez y oficialmente ya empezó la lucha entre Nicolás Maduro, llamado sucesor de Chávez, y Hen-rique Capriles, el gobernador del estado de Miranda.

“Yo espero que se pongan a manifiesto las irregulari-dades del gobierno,” dijo Goicoechea al ser pregun-tado sobre lo que espera de la campaña de la oposición. “Si la oposición pierde, no hay que dar mucho valor al resultado. El Centro Nacio-nal Electoral no es imparcial, e incluso hay 1 o 2 millones de personas que llegan a votar ilegítimamente.”

Así mismo las fuerzas ar-madas de Venezulea, lidera-das por el Ministro de De-fensa Diego Alfredo Molero Bellavia, anunciaron que saldrían a la calle a prote-ger la llamada “revolución” chavista.

“El ministro se puso en ridículo al llamar a votar por un sector,” dijo Goicoechea, mencioando que el actual candidato Maduro no posee el liderazgo y el control que tenía el Presidente Chávez.

Actualmente, ante la desa-parición física de Chávez, el Vicepresidente Maduro está al cargo del poder, lo cual ha desatado polémica. Como abogado, Goicoechea dijo “La Sala Constitucional decidió que al seguir en el poder la misma persona, utilizaron la continuidad como excusa para no realizar la juramen-tación presidencial.”

“Al Chávez no haber empe-zado el período, el Presidente debería de ser el Presidente de la Asamblea Nacional y llamar a elecciones el 10 de Enero, pero nos mintieron, y ese tiempo fue utilizado para dar a conocer a Madu-ro, quien se convertiría en el candidato presidencial,” dijo Goicoechea, quien considera que en el país no hay respeto por la constitución. “La con-stitución no existe si no hay jueces profesionales que im-pongan la ley,” y Goicoechea dijo que los poderes judicia-les, legislativos y ejecutivos

están monopolizados por el Chavismo.

“En Venezuela no habrá un cambio hasta que los venezo-lanos entiendan que no hay caminos legales para denun-ciar todas las violaciones con-stitucionales,” dijo Goicoe-chea. “Hace nada se devaluó la moneda en casi un 50 por ciento, hay escasez de alimen-tos, no hay producimos casi y dependemos de la import-ación, lo que se avecina es una crisis económica.”

Ahora queda menos de un mes para las elecciones, y los venezolanos decidirán qué camino seguir, y Henrique Capriles busca ganar luego de perder contra el propio Chávez en Octubre.

“En un mes es imposible buscar un nuevo candidato. Capriles fue escogido en elecciones primarias y es conocido en el país, cualquier otra variante generaría rup-tura en la oposición,” dijo Goicoechea, quién a la vez asegura que esta campaña no será sencilla y que se bus-cará apelar a la gravedad de la situación.

Ante los posibles resultados que pudieran ocurrir, el joven compartió sus opiniones.

“Si Maduro gana, aseguro que no terminará el mandato, ¿acaso podrá gobernar cuan-do explote la crisis? ¿Cuando se suspendan los fondos de las misiones?, toda esta “revolu-ción” está llegando a su punto final y es inevitable que todo

caiga,” dijo en opinión de la posibilidad de que el actual Vicepresidente gane, en cam-bio si Capriles logra ganar co-menta: “Se vienen momentos difíciles y de crisis, pero se

buscará un cambio, pero este cambió será lento debido al monopolio que tiene el gobi-erno actual, pero en dos años espero que el país empiece a mejorar.”

Para terminar, Goicoechea comenta “Yo le deseaba a Chávez que pudiera vivir sus actos, para que pudiera ver como el país cae en crisis por su culpa.”

YON GOICOECHEA, ABOGADO VENEZOLANO, DENUNCIA EL RÉGIMEN CHAVISTA

CONTINUED IN ENGLISH ON PAGE 1

En los Estados Unidos vi-ven aproximadamente 11.5 millones de personas nacidas en el exterior. Pero eso no sig-nifica que sean ilegales.

La Prensa Asociada tomó la decisión de eliminar el té-rmino “inmigrante ilegal” de su vocabulario, de acuerdo a un blog publicado el martes por el Vicepresidente Senior y Editor Ejecutivo de la Prensa Asociada, Kathleen Carroll.

En el último año, varios periódicos de universidades, incluído el Technician, deci-dieron parar de usar el tér-mino, utilizando frases como “indocumentados” o “desau-torizados”. En esta decisión, la Prensa Asociada dice que usar el término “ilegal” para describir a una persona no solo la deshumaniza, sino que es erróneo.

Algunos pueden decir que esto es solo un intento de ser “políticamente correctos”, pero el cambio en la termi-nología tiene una conno-tación más profunda.

Históricamente, el término “inmigrante ilegal” ha sido utilizado para describir a los grupos demográficos que no eran bien recibidos en un país o una región, en el cual bus-caban entrar sin la documen-tación necesaria. El término salió a la luz en 1930 para describir a Judíos que emi-graron al mandato británico de Palestina sin autorización.

Los inmigrantes que en-tren a los Estados Unidos sin la propia documentación son considerados culpables

de romper las leyes, debido a que tienen que tener la doc-umentación necesaria para permanecer en el país.

Sin embargo, a contraluz, gente es considerada culpable de romper las leyes y aún así no son considerados crimi-nales. En escuelas y universi-dades, tomar alcohol siendo menores de edad no es algo poco común. Gente que con-duce a velocidades sobre el límite no son ilegales.

También si manejas o si se pesca sin licencia, entonces ¿eso te convierte en un con-ductor o pescador ilega?. En cambio eres desautorizado para conducir o pescar, de la misma manera que extran-jeros sin documentación no están autorizados para vivir aquí.

Es la misma manera con inmigrantes indocumenta-dos o desautorizados. Ellos viven en los Estados Unidos sin la debida identificación o con papeles vencidos, pero su existencia no es criminal. Incluso aquellos deportados tienen derecho a proced-imientos civiles, que no es lo mismo que una audiencia criminal.

This is the approach that the Associated Press took when it decided to drop the term “illegal immigrant,” stating it prefers to describe a behavior rather than a per-son. “Illegal” denotes crimi-nal activity. Thus, when me-dia outlets in the past used the term to describe undocu-mented immigrants, the gen-

eral American public felt sub-consciously hostile toward a common criminal known as the “illegal immigrant.”

Esta es la cercanía que tomó la AP cuando se decidió de abandonar el término “in-migrante ilegal,” enunci-ando que prefiere describir un comportamiento en vez de describir una persona. “ilegal” denota la actividad criminal. Así que, cuando los medios en el pasado usaban el término para describir inmi-grantes indocumentados, el público estadounidense gen-eralmente se sentía subcon-scientemente hostil hacia un criminal bien conocido como el “inmigrante ilegal.”

Como una sección bilingüe que se esfuerza representar a la comunidad latina de una manera positiva y precisa, nosotros en Bienvenidos apoyamos la decisión de la Prensa Asociada en quitarse del adjetivo “ilegal” de los inmigrantes que viven en los Estados Unidos sin autor-ización. Ya que AP actual-mente incluye cerca de 1.400 periódicos en todo el EEUU, este cambio tiene la posibili-dad de influir a millones de lectores y sus pensamientos sobre los inmigrantes sin au-torización.

Esperamos que, mientras no despenaliza al acto de in-migración ilegal, promoverá un mejor entendimiento en-tre las comunidades de resi-dentes y de inmigrantes.

No dejemos a un lado los matices

Nikki StoudtLife and Style Editor

Ever y t ime you turn around, a new generation of the latest high-tech gadget is released. Consumers have barely enough time to get a handle on their new iPods before a better model comes out.

Approximately 438 million electronic products were sold in the United States in 2009 – twice the amount sold in 1997. This increase in elec-tronic sales has resulted in American households own-ing on average 24 electronic products, according to the Consumer Electronics As-sociation.

But what is bought, espe-cially something as replace-able as electronics, must be eventually thrown away. In 2008, the total amount of electronic waste in the United States alone exceeded 3 mil-lion tons.

While most of the e-waste produced winds up in land-fills, a recycling movement has emerged in the hopes of reducing the amount of electronic waste. Analis Ful-ghum, the program man-ager for N.C. State Waste Reduction and Recycling Office (WRR), spearheaded a campaign on campus that focuses on reducing waste at a much more local level and has been working with University administrators on raising awareness about the benefits

of electronic recycling.“Last year, the Waste Re-

duction and Recycling Of-fice reported that 292,000 pounds of electronic waste was diverted from the land-fill through recycling and reused,” Fulghum said.

In 2010, state legislators passed N.C. Session Law 2010-67, banning TV and computer equipment from the landfill and further-ing the need for responsible electronic recycling. Ful-ghum said one of the driving forces for enacting the law is that “the computer equip-ment and television waste stream is growing rapidly in volume and complexity and can introduce toxic materi-als into solid waste landfills.”

Currently 25 states have imposed electronic recycling laws, including North Caro-lina. To Fulghum, the reason is simple — old electronics contain hazardous materials like cadmium, mercury and lead and cannot be dumped in a landfill.

Whi le many reta i l stores including, h.h. gregg, Staples and Best Buy are offering recycle programs at no charge, there is an even easier, more convenient way to get rid of that old hunk of metal.

In order to reduce the amount of e-waste from the University and to engage the entire N.C. State community, Fulghum and the staff at the WRR office have strategically

placed approximately 200 bright yellow bins around campus. Each bin bears a sign that tells exactly what can go in it — everything from cords and USB drives to toasters, vacuums and computers. And yes, the most recently outdated model of the iPad can go in as well.

According to Fulghum, N.C. State only uses credible electronic recyclers that are certified to manage electronic recycling in a safe manner as well as provide a healthy working environment, like Power House Recycling in Salisbury.

“Often, recyclers will say they’re recycling electronics responsibly, but what hap-pens is they send them to third-world countries, typi-cally in Africa,” Fulghum said. “There, children and others break the electronics that have been dumped and take them apart to harvest the valuable materials. It’s dan-gerous both to the environ-ment and to the people dig-ging around in the scraps.”

Electronics contain harm-ful material such as lead, mercury and cadmium, but recycling ensures these toxins are disposed of appropriately. According to the Environ-mental Protection Agency, most electronic devices are made with metals such as gold, silver, platinum, pal-ladium and zinc.

“Recycling electronics al-lows these metals to be re-covered and used in new

products, which is cheaper and requires less energy than mining and processing raw metals,” Fulghum said. “Also, recycling electronics such as cell phones allows them to be rebuilt and resold for lower cost, making electronics available to more people.”

Fulghum said the recy-cling industry alone has cre-ated more than 8,700 jobs in North Carolina.

In addition to the new electronic recycling bins, the

WRR office has remodeled the general recycling pro-gram. Rather than having on-campus residents sort re-cyclable materials into vari-ous bins, the WRR office has combined plastics and paper into one bin to reduce the amount of incorrectly sorted materials.

“N.C. State is an extremely innovative place,” Fulghum said. “Anything we can do to make environmental safety easier will be top priority. It’s

important that [the Univer-sity] sets an example for the wider community to follow, and we’re confident we’re do-ing just that.”  

Any questions regarding recycling should be directed to the Waste Reduction and Recycling Office either by email, at recycling@ncsu.edu, or by telephone, at (919) 515-9421.

Obama announces $100 million BRAIN initiativeHassan DuRantScience and Tech Editor

Yesterday, the Obama ad-ministration announced a proposal for an initial $100 million investment into a science initiative to study the most complex mechanism in the human body, and possi-bly the known universe: the brain.

The president gathered a group of scientists he called “some of the most imagina-tive and effective researchers in the country” to discuss the aptly-named BRAIN initia-tive (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neu-rotechnologies) and to give a conference announcing the project.

The BRAIN initiative will receive the approximate $100

million in the 2014 Fiscal Year. According to White-House.gov, the purpose of the initiative is to help research-ers find new ways to treat, cure, and prevent brain dis-orders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, and trau-matic brain injury—and to study how the brain produces memories and programs hu-man behavior.

By comparison, the Human Genome Project, another government-funded research initiative, cost taxpaying citizens $2.6 billion over the course of a few years. Accord-ing to Obama, the genome sequencing project returned $140 to the U.S. economy for every single dollar spent on the project—and the research has been an invaluable source of knowledge for scientists

around the world.“I’m directing my bioethics

commission to make sure all of the research is being done in a responsible way,” Obama said. “And we’re a lso partnering w i t h t h e private sec-tor, includ-ing leading companies and foun-dations and research in-stitutions, to tap the nation’s brightest minds to help us reach our goal.”

According to John Ngai, director of UC Berkeley’s Helen Wills Neuroscience In-stitute, the BRAIN initiative aims to map the brain’s 10

billion neurons and 100 tril-lion connections, and also to understand how signals travel through the brain and what processes modulate these sig-

nals.Though

many are excited about the planned initiative, s o m e i n the scien-tif ic com-munity are skeptical

as to whether the BRAIN initiative will yield any fruit-ful results. Michael Eisen, a biologist at U.C. Berkley, was critical of the project, saying that more basic research had to be done on the brain for any of the big goals Obama

outlined to come to be. Oth-ers said that the BRAIN ini-tiative’s goals were much too vague and not at all focused on technology development.

Despite potential backlash, Obama believes the initiative will provide opportunities and important information to the United States and the human race as a whole.

“We have a chance to im-prove the lives of not just mil-lions, but billions of people on this planet through the research that’s done in this BRAIN Initiative alone,” Obama said. “And it’s going to require us as a country to embody and embrace that spirit of discovery that is what made America, America.”

COURTESY OF N.C. STATE WASTE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING

In addition to the government support of approximately $100 million, several private donors have committed to support the brain initiative:

next two batters to escape the inning unscathed.

State added a run in the top of the seventh, getting an-other RBI double from Brett Williams. Sophomore desig-nated hitter Carlos Rodon led off the inning with a single up the middle, and he was replaced by pinch runner Bryan Taylor. Clyde bunted Taylor over to second, and af-ter a groundout by Ratledge, Williams came through once again. The Pack scored again in the eighth on an RBI single by sophomore left fielder Jake Armstrong.

ECU finally scratched the surface in the bottom half of the eighth. Pinch hitter Drew Reynolds singled to plate Garrett Brooks, who had been hit by a pitch. The Pirates loaded the bases to chase Easley from the game, but senior left-hander Grant Sasser put out the fire by re-tiring the next two hitters on

a strikeout and a ground-out. The Pirates left five men on base for the game.

“Our relief pitching has been great all year,” Avent said. “Grant Sasser was outstanding.”

A sacrifice fly by Turner in the top of the ninth completed the scoring for the Wolfpack. Sasser mowed down the Pirates in order to secure the win. Wilkins, Easley, and Sasser combined for 11 strikeouts for the game.

N.C. State will return to Raleigh to host Elon on Wednesday at 6 p.m. Their next ACC series is against Virginia Tech in a three-game series from Apr. 5th-7th.

“It’s tough playing five games a week,” Avent said. “But we’re looking for-ward to getting back out there tomorrow.”

to their schoolwork, club members must have their priorities in order. Being able to balance their time between school and lacrosse is an es-sential skill for all members of the team.

“Freshman year was a little tough, but [club lacrosse] has for sure helped me learn time management,” Dunaway said. “Once you get your schedule figured out, it’s not that bad.”

“We are truly students first and since it’s a club, we are a little more flexible and understanding because we realize school comes first, lacrosse second,” Dunaway said. “But like I said, once you get that crucial time manage-ment skill down, it’s not bad at all. It’s similar to having a part time job.”

Club members find time to work in the community as well. Players use their free time to help coach high school teams, and even take

time during their summer break to help out at lacrosse camps.

The club has traveled all over the southeast U.S. to weekend games at places like Nashville, Atlanta, and Clemson. The team has even gone to Blackburg, Virginia and Athens, Georgia in recent years.

The amount of traveling the club does give its mem-bers plenty of opportunities to develop friendships that extend off the field.

“I love the group of guys that come out, the family at-mosphere and team bonding experiences that we all share,” Poulos said. “I have defi-nitely met some great people through playing club lax.”

After splitting its last two games, a 12-5 win against South Carolina and a 10-8 loss against Florida State, the team is looking to close out the season on a high note. The club’s next game is against Georgia Tech on April 6 at 1 p.m. at the Method Road fields in Raleigh.

noticed an immediate difference.

“Before, we had never really worked on the small things like skills. We are building up from the basic skill work and technical, and going from there,” Krauser said. “I have learned a lot. It’s weird because he came in and some of the stuff we had never been told before he came in and changed im-mediately.”

Expect nex t year’s women’s soccer team to have a different style of play. They will attempt to hold more possession of the ball to break down the opposition’s defense. Krauser is expecting the team to benef it from the switch in play styles, which she hopes wil l translate into more wins than last year’s team.

“I think it will be a lot better because soccer wise we will be more technical, we are going to play less

direct and keep the ball more and keep possession of it,” Krauser said. “A lot of times last year we’d lose the ball, so we are going to keep it more and give the ball away less.”

In the fall the team will face another brutal conference schedule. Along with going against the traditional ACC powerhouses like UNC-Cha-pel Hill and Duke, the ACC will become even more com-petitive with the addition of Notre Dame. Last season the Fighting Irish made it to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament before losing to Florida State.

While the conference will be even more difficult this coming season, Santoro thinks the team will improve from last year.

“It is always the tough-est conference in the coun-try and with the addition of Notre Dame it obviously becomes tougher,” Santoro said. “But we will set a goal that is loftier than what they achieved in the past, but re-alistic.”

Wolfpack sinks Pirates

The N.C. State baseball team fol-lowed up a series win over Mary-land this past weekend by defeat-ing in-state foe East Carolina 6-1 on Tuesday night at Clark-LeClair Stadium in Greenville. The non-conference win brings State’s re-cord to 20-10 on the season, while East Carolina falls to 14-15.

A trio of State pitchers held ECU to one run on just four hits. The Wolfpack pounded out 10 hits, three of them for extra bases. Se-nior center fielder Brett Williams led the charge, going 2-for-4 with

a pair of RBI doubles. Sophomore shortstop Trea Turner drove in two runs despite not recording a hit on the evening.

The Wolfpack struck first with three runs in the top of the third inning against ECU hurler Ryan Williams. Senior third baseman Grant Clyde led off the inning with a single, and sophomore second base-man Logan Ratledge attempted to bunt Clyde over to second. Pirate third baseman Zach Houchins misplayed the bunt, allowing Rat-ledge to reach base. Brett Williams followed with his sixth double of the season, scoring Clyde and Ratledge. After a groundout by sophomore

right fielder Jake Fincher, Williams stole third base, and Turner batted him home with an RBI groundout to short.

Wolfpack starting pitcher Ryan Wilk ins pitched master fu l ly through five innings before being lifted in favor of senior Josh Easley in the sixth. The senior right-hander faced 16 batters, one more than the minimum for five innings, did not allow a hit, and struck out five, earn-ing the win to move his record to 3-1 on the season. ECU’s Ryan Williams was saddled with the loss, dropping him to 5-2 this year.

“[Wilkins] was on a pitch count, we were trying to keep him between

50 and 60 pitches,” N.C. State man-ager Elliot Avent said. “He ended up throwing 59, and he shut them down.”

East Carolina did not get their first baserunner until the fourth inning, when Turner committed his eighth error of the season on a grounder by Jay Cannon with two outs. Can-non then swiped second base, but Wilkins got Houchins to ground out to third to end the threat.

Easley allowed the Pirates their first hit of the contest with one out in the bottom of the sixth, a single by Bryan Bass, but struck out the

Lacrosse carries on tradition

Andrew SchuettDeputy Sports Editor

Most students may not be aware that N.C. State used to have a varsity lacrosse team. Formed in 1972, the Wolfpack received an NCAA Tournament bid in 1979.

Although the team was disband-ed following its 1982 season, the legacy of Wolfpack lacrosse lives on to this day. State’s club lacrosse team, coached by Chip Thurston, carries on the var-sity team’s tradi-tion of excellence.

The club is most noted for its con-sistently high level of play. Nathan Poulos, a junior in mechanica l engineering, says that the team’s level of play is more reflective of a collegiate squad than a club team.

“A pretty good portion of the guys had a chance to go play D1, D2, or D3 college lacrosse,” Poulos said. “But they all decided to go with a bigger school closer to home and [they] just wanted to keep up with the sport.”

Poulos has played lacrosse since

7th grade, including four years on the varsity team at John T. Hoggard High School in Wilmington and summers on Team Carolina, a travel team comprised of North Carolina’s best high school lacrosse players. He says that most club members have about the same level of experience in the sport that he does.

“Most of the guys on the team have been playing for a while, whether it be from middle school or

high school,” Pou-los said. “But there are some [players] where this is their first time playing.”

Club Vice Presi-dent and team c apt a i n Ke v i n Dunaway, a junior in human biology, says the club does most of its recruit-ing through on campus activities.

“We don’t do a lot off campus [re-

cruiting] prior to students getting here,” Dunaway said. “But we always set up a table at Recfest and have the captains and team officers there to promote the team.”

New coach focused on results

Daniel NealStaff Writer

Last season was difficult for the N.C. State women’s soccer team. The Wolfpack won only five games throughout the year, going 0-10 in conference play. The winless conference play included a stretch where the Pack scored only one goal in seven games. At the end of the season, former head coach Steve Springthrope re-signed.

The team played in the toughest women’s soccer conference in the nation, featuring last season’s na-tional champion. Eight of the Pack’s last 11 opponents were nationally ranked, and six of those eight were ranked in the top 10.

Along with playing in the tough-est conference in the nation, the team lacked upperclassmen. The roster featured zero seniors and only four juniors. The team had to rely heavily on underclassmen to provide leadership both on and off the field.

On Nov. 30th Tim Santoro was named as the new head coach. The former Wake Forest assistant

is looking to bring good results to the women’s soccer program. The Wolfpack scheduled matches against six different opponents for the spring season. So far, Santoro has been impressed with his team.

“The girls are working hard, everything is just new for them,” Santoro said. “Normally spring is a time for individual develop-ment but because of where we are

as a program, we are focusing more on team stuf f and re-sults. You don’t always empha-size winning in the spring but because of what I am taking over and how the fall went, we are try-

ing to get some results.”The Pack has one more contest

left in the spring semester. They will travel to Winston-Salem to face Wake Forest University and High Point University on April 14th.

Along with results, Santoro is trying to improve his team’s skill level. Redshirt sophomore Jennie Krauser, who was recently named to the ACC All-Academic team,
