“As a non-member of Student Government last year, I thought students needed to know more

of what was going on, both in the Senate and in the University.”

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position? I was in the Student Government in high school and I’m the president of

the Raleigh Methodist Foundation and I was selected as a community

builder last year when I lived in Lee Hall. As an engineering student, I’ve learned how to manage my time.

“I’ve been a Student Senator for the past year. There were a lot of issues I really wanted to focus on,

but I realized there was only so much you advocate for. Student Body President has many more opportunities to bring about changes. I want to be able to do more. “

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position? I’ve been a Student Senator and a peer

orientation ambassador, so I’ve been here talking to new students as they come in. I’ve been an RA on campus and lived off campus. I think I see the

perspectives of several different groups of students.

“I believe student government has been working for the administration and not the students… A student body president should be working

for the students. “

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position?I have been involved

in numerous leadership roles throughout campus.

I am president of College Republicans and was endorsed

by the last three presidents of College Democrats. I know what students want and what they are concerned about. I have paid my way through college and work two jobs. I can relate to students on campus.

“I have a vision for this University and where it should go, and I think I have the tools

and resources to really heighten our University.”

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position?I’ve had a lot experience in different organizations. I’m the only candidate that’s worked in UAB, IRC, and Student Government and I think what sets me apart is that I have a certain perspective on how to make SG a more effective program.

“I believe my previous involvement with IRC, Greek Life, the Honors Program, Student Senate, and the Arts

Village brings a more holistic view of N.C. State that other candidates do not have.”

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position? I do not think that you have to major in political science to be an

effective student body president. I am qualified for this position because I am a hard-worker and I

am dedicated to making this campus thrive in the years ahead.

“As cliché as it sounds, I know how we can create a united Wolfpack.”

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position? I like to think I have the most experience out of the candidates. I worked alongside the current Student Body President as the Executive Branch Chief of Staff. I’ve seen how things operate for a

long time and I know how we can do it a lot better. I’ve been the Howl for Haiti project head since January

and I’ve learned since then that the organizations on campus really want to be involved as a collective group – they just need a reason.

Pie a Piphoto By Jordan moore

Laughing as he taunts friend Jezzette Rivera, a senior in criminology, Matthew McFarland, a senior in mechanical engineering, prepares to “pie a pi” as part of Lamda Pi Chi’s annual fundraising event held in the Brickyard Tuesday. Rivera,

who is a member of Lamda Pi Chi, had pies thrown in her face all afternoon and said the event marked the chapter anniversary of the sorority. The two friends seemed to have no bitter feelings after the embarrassing “pieing” though, “we’re still best friends, right?” laughed Mcfarland.

Arth PandyaStaff Writer

N.C. State is among the top five “greenest schools” in the southeast, according to Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine. The ranking evaluated universities on renewable energy, energy conservation, food, alternative transportation, LEED/green building, recycling, environ-mental studies, green space and campus conservation and outdoor recreation.

In Jan. 2008, Chancellor James Oblinger signed the American College and Univer-sity Presidents Climate Com-mitment, moving the Univer-sity towards a plan of climate neutrality.

According to David Dean, outreach and communications coordinator for sustainability, the first step was to release a greenhouse gas inventory, which assesses the carbon foot-print by looking at greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from buildings, purchased electric-ity, travel, purchasing, com-muting, etc.

“We completed the f irst greenhouse gas inventory in the fall, and that was a major stepping stone for us,” he said. “Now we are in the process of creating a climate action plan that is open to all faculty, staff and students.”

The climate action plan will set a strategy and implemen-tation plan to reach climate neutrality on campus. The pro-posed timeline for the climate action plan is fall 2010.

The University’s alternative transportation options are spe-cifically lauded. These include free commuting options like the “GoPass” that is available to all faculty, staff and students to use on the regional bus sys-tem as well as “WolfWheels,” a bike-rental program that launched March 29.

“I ride the bus on Sundays from Chapel Hill, and there is always a big group of students

on those morning buses that drop off right in front of D.H. Hill,” Dean said. “There are also faculty and staff that ride daily from Durham and Chapel Hill.”

The University also scored high for infrastructure im-provements, such as the work to retrofit Cates Steam Plant into a co-generation facility.

According to the greenhouse gas inventory, transportation is the third largest contribu-tor of greenhouse gases at 11.8 percent.

“Electricity is our largest area of emissions at 53.13 percent. We get most of our electricity from Progress Energy, but we will be starting construction on a combined heat and power plant for campus that will sup-ply power, steam and water for roughly 30 percent of the cam-pus,” Dean said. “Construction will start in a year and will take one year to complete. It will save us roughly 15 million dol-lars on the electric bill.”

The combined heat and pow-er plant is expected to provide 11 megawatts, reducing the University’s greenhouse gases by roughly 13 percent.

“Our combined heat and power plant got us bonus points because it’s highly efficient. It’s one of the first in the state on a university campus — that’s a major undertaking,” Dean said.

Other recent improvements, such as retrofitting Bragaw Residence Hall into the largest residence hall in the country with LED lighting, showed the University’s green commit-ment.

“We’re underway with a 19.7 million performance contract that will save the University a guaranteed savings over 20 years of roughly 35 million. It will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in 13 buildings, about 37 percent, which is a huge drop. It is something that the governor has endorsed,” Dean said. “It’s the largest per-formance contract east of the

Mississippi.”According to Dean, the proj-

ect will take one year to com-plete.

Marc Metry, a freshman in biology, said he has seen stu-dents participating in sustain-ability efforts, but not to a great extent.

“There are a few kids who I think really care about being green. But for the most part, I don’t think a lot of people give it much thought,” Metry said.

David McKenna, a junior in chemistry, said he has seen a lot of students recycling in his own dorm.

“Some people are really into it,” McKenna said. “I remember walking into my friend’s room and seeing his recycling bin overflowing.”

In addition, Carmichael Gym will also have solar thermal panels installed on the roof, which will provide heating for the pools.

Two other North Carolina universities Duke and Cha-pel Hill also earned top spots. Dean said there were certain areas other universities scored better on.

“Carolina has more curricu-lum around sustainability. The University needs to have more multidisciplinary programs. However, we are starting to cover more curriculum around sustainability,” he said. “There is work going on to refresh the environmental science cur-riculum and that will truly be a multidisciplinary program.”

Dean said students will have the choice to focus on a certain area, such as renewable energy, a green MBA or environmen-tal research. There is also an interdisciplinary agroecology minor as well as environmental policy offerings.

Becoming a more green cam-pus hasn’t been easy though, according to Dean. “It’s been a long process,” he said.

“A major pitfall for us is pol-icy from the state level. We can help adjust policy on a Univer-

sity level, but on a state level, there are some that are hold-ing us back from implementing more efficient technologies on campus.

Dean also said changing be-havior is critical in achieving climate neutrality.

“As many infrastructure improvements the University makes, those can only go so far. There has to be behavior change for us to truly accom-plish climate neutrality,” he said. “That’s as simple as turn-ing off the light or powering down your computer when you leave your room,” he said.

Dean said he has seen a dra-matic increase in the number of students interested in sustain-ability during the past year.

“We’re going to have interns out in the Brickyard and at Tal-ley in coming weeks to gather ideas from students in ways that we can make the campus even more green,” Dean said.

Dean said students can get involved by joining WSEA, the sustainability committee of the IRC, or with the sustainability community of Student Govern-ment. “Those are three won-derful organizations we work with on a daily basis,” he said.

The University will celebrate Earth Day on the Brickyard April 22.

“It has been happening on the Brickyard for 10 years. There will be a bunch of local and

regional businesses that will help us celebrate the 40th an-niversary for Earth Day.

Campus Cinema will also be playing Garbage Dreams Mon-day at 7 p.m. at Witherspoon Student Center as part of its Environmental Film Series.

Dan Monk, a sophomore in English, said it angers him when others don’t do their part in helping the environment.

“I don’t think it’s too much to ask to just make sure you turn your power off when you leave your room,” he said.

University earns high marks for sustainability

Wake County Board of Education votes to end busing of students across the county

David BrittStaff Writer

The Wake County Board of Education signaled an end to its busing policy at a controversial meeting March 23. The policy, involving student reassignment through diversity, was ended with a five to four vote.

The national spotlight fo-cused on Wake County’s school board meeting last month, which boiled over into protests and even a few arrests before the vote. Of the three protestors

who were arrested, one was a former N.C. State Student sena-tor, Dante Emmanuel Strobino.

According to board member Kevin Hill, who represents Dis-trict 3, “There is a way to make your voice known, and coming in and disrupting meetings to the point that [it] leads to arrest ... is [not] the proper way to get your message across.”

Kevin Hill voted against re-moving the diversity policy. The new policy will allow stu-dents to go to neighborhood and local community schools; the former involved busing children by a student’s race and socioeconomic status.

“We don’t really have a di-versity policy per say, we have a student assignment policy

and diversity is one of many components of that policy,” Hill said.

Wake County’s Student As-signment policy includes 14 goals the board is trying to reach. Some of those goals in-clude alleviating crowding, fill-ing seats efficiently, retaining good teachers, ensuring con-sistency across the board and the controversial component of creating and maintaining a diverse student body.

“We were presented with a long list of research and data that goes back over many years showing the positive impacts of having diversity in populations on academic achievements of all students, not just high-need students,” Hill said, “I believe

in the research and data that we have. And I think it is impor-tant that we try and make deci-sions that our research and data support.”

Thomas Alsbury, as-sociate pro-fe s sor a nd program co-ordinator of educational leadership in the College of Education, said the issue should be the reality of what the policy is currently doing and what the reality of removing the policy will result in. He said it seems to him that they are having a philosophical debate about supporting or not supporting diversity.

Jesse Henderson, a graduate student in natural resource policy, said he has no opin-ion of the situation, but men-

tioned that his wife who is a substitute teacher says the schools are better for the diversity policy.

Alsbury, whose area of specialty is the Board of Education, said the protests are citizens way of holding the board accountable.

“What we do see is that the community is going to demand that the school board oper-ates in a way to satisfy it. If it doesn’t, the community will

correct it,” Alsbury said.“Is the board currently acting

in a way that is satisfying to the community at large?” Alsbury said while discussing differ-ent types of theories about the Board of Education. “If the answer is yes, then we are go-ing to see these policies change next election cycle. We are go-ing to see these board mem-bers continue to be re-elected. If the board is currently acting against what the community wants it to do, then we will see a correction. “

Wake County Board changes diversity policy

Brittany Hines/tecHnicianAmber Kite, a sophomore in political science, puts a bottle in the recycling bin as she comes out to sort her recyclables. Kite said, “I think it’s awesome that N.C. State is a green school and that we all do our part to recycle.”

research and data

that we have.”Kevin Hill, board member

Technicianpage 4 • monday, april 5, 2010

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position? I’ve been involved with the Student Senate this year. I worked closely with AgroLife – I was their student treasurer this year. I’m running so I can try to help the transparency issue with Student Government. Students know their fees are going to Student Government, but it disappears after that. I want them to see where their money is being spent.

What are some of your top platform goals? Responsibility. My responsibility for filling my

position, the responsibility I have for the Senators, making sure the executive counselors are spending their money correctly, just overall responsibility. I’m being elected to this office to represents students in financial matters, so I want to make they have input on those financial matters and that they know what’s going on.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents? I’ll hold office hours and make sure people know how to get there. Facebook, Twitter, e-mail – all those technologies people use on a constant day-to-day basis, I’ll be available through.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State? Going to football games. I was never a big football fan before I got here, but it’s so much fun. You can forget about classes for a few hours and just enjoy the moment.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street?Zaxby’s

Student Body Treasurer

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position?Buddy and I are both excellent candidates. I’m the least concerned about my own race as far as how students will be served. Although I have the experience of appropriations and finance committee, Buddy’s the treasurer of CALS, so both of us have prior experience. I have done over 200 hours with Student Government with appropriations. There is a disparity, but he is still familiar with the process.

What are your top platform goals?The most important platform to move forward is not only checking receipts for the amounts, because that’s what is currently done for appropriations, but checking for the amount and what is appropriated. Another platform would be to enforce receipt deadlines. Currently, we have deadlines and we create a black list...but you can still send in receipts

even though in the appropriations packet it says you can’t turn in receipts once the appropriations start.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents?It’s very important to go to the various student groups. Currently there’s a spot on the University Student Center Board of Directors for the treasurer, which interfaces with Student Government’s position with Witherspoon, the new Talley, Price, and etc. That position is currently unfilled. We should first start off by filling positions that the treasurer is assigned....Instead of being reactive and waiting for people to come looking, I want to use my experience as American Nuclear Society’s webmaster to maintain a near-real-time webpage that shows what we’re spending money on.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State?I most enjoyed this past summer session. During SS2, I worked on a summer camp program for prospective college students to come and learn about the College of Engineering during a three-week program...I enjoyed being a medium to facilitate their learning about N.C. State. As a result, several of the kids have decided to apply to State, and a few are coming to the program.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street?Jasmin Mediterranean Bistro

Kyle O’Donnellsophomore, nuclear engineering

“I’m choosing to run because my role in the appropriations committee and in the finance committee has shown me inefficiencies in the way that Student Government operates. “

Buddy Brysonsophomore, sociology

What’s going to give me the best advantage in this position is that I’m coming from the outside. I’m going to question everything on behalf of the students.

Protecting the ClimateConserving Resources

Science For A Better Life

Climate change represents one of the major global challenges of our time. That’s why Bayer is investing approximately $1.5 billion between 2008 and 2010 in climate-related research and projects. Through the Bayer Climate Program, the company is working to reduce its “climate footprint” and develop sustainable solutions. The Bayer Climate Check, for example, is a new tool for reducing CO2 emissions in production processes. With the aid of modern biotechnology, we are increasing the stress tolerance of crops against heat and drought, giving agriculture a chance to overcome the consequences of climate change. To reduce energy consumption in offices and industrial buildings, we are working with partners to develop the “EcoCommercial Building.” Based on highly efficient polyurethane insulation and regenerative energies, it can meet its own energy needs – a global concept for zero-emission buildings that can be implemented throughout the world. www.climate.bayer.com

What are your top platform goals? My major goal is to work with transportation to make parking and busing more efficient and effective. This can be done by looking at not only the routes, but the stops on the routes themselves. I would also like to work on a dual-campus parking permit so that students (undergraduate and graduate alike) will be able to move freely between campuses.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents?I promise to remain accessible throughout my presidency. This accessibility can be established through “Dinner with the Executive Cabinet.” Every Tuesday night from 7:00-8:00 p.m., my cabinet and I will be in Fountain Dining Hall, available for people to come talk to us about anything and everything. I believe this will provide an atmosphere where people will feel comfortable approaching SG with new ideas, issues, and concerns.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State? This past spring, N.C. State hosted the North Carolina Association of Residence Halls (NCARH). We not only went to other programs, but were able to put on our own programs and present those to students across North Carolina. Walking around campus with our State flags and Wolfpack apparel cemented my love for this great institution. I knew I was where I belonged.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street?I Heart New York Pizza.

What are some of your top platform goals? Information overload is something we can all identify with. Between Moodle, Vista and all those online programs, we’re always having to on all of them and check assignments. I’ve been working with OIT and the creators of the platforms. We can create a face page where you can just log on once and set up a notification system for when assignments are due. That’s something feasible that I know I can do that can help everybody. Things have been way too focused on administration and they need to be more focused on students.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents? I want to talk to classes and organization meetings and talk about the resources Student Government has available that would enable them to get things done. I want to always talk to people, on the Brickyard and during my office hours. Also, Student Government has never really been to all of the events on campus. If there’s something going on as Stewart Theater, there needs to be someone from Student Government there, showing support and talking to people afterward.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State? Howl for Haiti. Being able to help others and seeing the organizations of the campus come together was the most amazing and rewarding experience for me since I’ve been here.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street? Mitch’s Tavern

What are some of your top platform goals? The main things I’m running on are transparency and unity. Because I haven’t been in Student Government, I don’t know exactly what you can and can’t accomplish yet. But I know that as students, we really don’t know what’s going on in our Student Government. They made decisions that maybe we didn’t like or we weren’t informed enough about. I’d like to achieve more transparency so students know what’s going on. I also feel like a lot of the colleges on campus, and even the majors within the colleges, don’t know what’s going on with the others, so I’d like to be the person that bridges the gap between them.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents? Meetings, boxes around campus so people have the opportunity to voice their opinion, and sending e-mails out all the time so people know what we’re doing. I’ll probably have a web page or a Facebook group where people can post their ideas. I’ll go out to a different campus one day a week for an hour or two and just hang out and people can come talk to me about issues, anything. I’m a good listener.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State?When we rushed the court against Wake Forest last year. I got to high-five Tracy Smith.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street?Two Guys

What are your top platform goals? I am concerned about books and athletics. These issues are something that all students have to deal with and can relate to. I would like to set up a textbook rental system like Appalachian State University and make textbooks tax-free. I would also like to have a new online ticketing system, make loyalty points more fair, extend tailgating hours and give students more incentive to come to sporting events early.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents?My door is always going to stay open. I am still going to be on campus and I will continue to eat in the dining halls, attend sporting events and participate in student groups. I am here for students and I want to make sure students are represented.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State?Walking out of the football stadium my freshman year and bragging to my dad about beating Carolina. My dad is a huge Carolina fan.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street?The Roast Grill/Melvin’s

What are your top platform goals?I think refocusing Student Government to make students feel like they’re being represented is really key. A lot of students don’t feel like their student body representatives do anything. That’s something that we need to look at, as well as looking at the issue of involvement – how do we engage students back into our campus?

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents?It’s kind of about thinking outside the box and trying to reach students where they’re at. I think it’s also about how you’re going to get the message out about what you’re doing, about what Student Government is doing and what the issues are on campus – that’s going to be key. Thinking outside of the box, a lot of students want one web site that has all of that information and not just a text – maybe something like a video blog or something on YouTube.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State?Wolfpack Welcome Week – There’s a ton of events and you get to meet a lot of people.

Student Body President (Continued from page 1)

What are some of your top platform goals? One thing I want to change is advising. I’ve been working on it within the Senate, but it’s a lot easier for the Student Body President to get face time with the administration and faculty. We’re trying to get student input into how students want to fix advising. I also want Talley to be paid for by private funding to help decrease the cost to students. I was personally for Talley, but as soon as I saw how the referendum came in, I decided to go against it. I gave a speech to the senators telling them to let the student referendum stand, but obviously they didn’t do that.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents? I don’t want to be a Student Body President that just sits back in the office and answers e-mails. I want to have a weekly meet-and-greet with the top members of Student Government in the Brickyard and hand out coffee to students on their way to class. If they can stop and talk for five minutes, they can tell us what concerns they have. I also want to implement a poll on Student Government’s Web site and see which issues are most important to them. That way, we’re not blowing full steam ahead with something students don’t care about.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State? The Barrel Monster incident because it brought us national attention. Sure, beating Carolina in football was great, but people in California didn’t know about us. But after the Barrel Monster, people all over the country knew about us.

The band wagon rides on.

Christian O’Neal, freshman in mechanical engineering

by marisa akers

Are you in favor of

busing in Wake County schools?

{ }in your words

“Yes, kids need a way to get to school if their parents are working.”

Jeff schlutersophomore, environmental technology

{ }our view

The Wake County School Board’s historic vote March 23 to work to-

ward the end of busing in county schools has raised the ire of many parents and Dem-ocrat politicians.

The policy change, which would effectively bring an end to the 40-year-old bus-ing policy, has become a pub-lic spectacle after the school board’s decision, with the ar-rests of protesters at school board meetings and angry calls of political gamesmanship by both parties.

The North Carolina Demo-cratic Party Chairman David Young has gone as far as to say the change to the diversity policy could cause the county

to lose millions of dollars in federal support.

Politicizing aside, what is the benefit for Wake County stu-dents?

There isn’t one. Diversity in schools provides for a more well-rounded education and “levels the playground.”

Prior to the changes, Wake County buses students such that schools do not have more than 40-percent of students on free- or reduced-priced lunch-es.

This socioeconomic criterion is certainly not the only one, but it’s a pretty good bench-

mark for diversity in schools.It’s a logical solution to gain-

ing some level of parity in schools, especially as the Amer-ican family weakens and lower-income students become less likely to have adequate support structures. Regrettably, the school system is burdened with supporting that framework.

Undeniably, schools have become part of the American family patchwork and dis-counting the role they play in diversity education — in all its forms — is a huge mistake.

Students who aren’t already knowledgeable on the issue

must inform themselves, espe-cially considering the change’s impact on the local communi-ty and the students who plan to join the ranks of the thousands of Wake County teachers.

The informed must make their voices heard when the board’s seats come up for election and to their current elected officials — including the members of the board who have been embroiled in con-troversy as a result of their ac-tions. It’s certainly cliche, but the situation will never change unless students affect it.

The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board excluding the news department and is the responsibility

of the Executive Editors.

The end of diversityThe FacTs:The Wake County Board of Education voted to move away from busing during the next 15 months in Wake County schools.

our opinion:Politics aside, busing makes sense. The school system is where children learn about diversity; taking that experience away from them does the county’s children a disservice.

Equality and freedom, inequitable

Freedom, or liberty, is de-fined by Thomas Hobbes in Leviathan as “the

absence of external impedi-ments: which impediments,

may oft take away part of a man’s power to do what he wou ld ; but cannot hinder him from us-ing the power left him, ac-c ord i n g t o his judgment, a nd re a son s h a l l d i c -

tate to him.” In Hobbes eyes, the law of nature — in Spark Notes version — is to not do anything that would contradict the preservation of your own life. “Rights” are what benefit our own self-preservation. Notice t hat equality and freedom are not associated.

Equality to Hobbes exists in the most primitive form, the body and the mind. Some are stronger than others, but those people may have the ability to outthink and outwit the strong. The strong bodied may win in a fight to the death, but the strong have to sleep at some point. This interpretation of the world is a nasty place; but lets’ face it, that’s what we live in.

Individual freedom and the capacity to choose are what sep-arate us from animals — not that we are all equal. Inequality has developed a negative con-notation throughout the years. It is often times — and rightly so — associated with prejudice and moral injustice. It is wrong to think that one is superior to another. It is wrong to use this idea of supremeness to legiti-mize hate and wrong doings. However, without inequality, diversity would elude us, and there would be little motivation to bring ourselves to our great-est individual potential.

We are all different. Some of us are tall; some of us are short; some of us are academi-cally smart; some of us are academically gifted; and oth-ers have better social skills. It is impossible to quantify which qualities that a person pos-sesses make him or her better than the person beside them; but we are not equal. I’ll take myself as an example. I am 5 feet 5 inches tall and weigh 135 pounds. I am not the brightest crayon in the box, but I am not

the dullest either. I have had to learn to adapt to compensate for my shortcomings — no pun intended — and use the talents to the best of their capacity. There is no standard that I am trying to get to; if there were, personal growth would eventu-ally subside.

Economic inequality works in a similar manner. If every-one were rich, there would be no motivation to excel. If you are reading this you agree with what I am saying. I know be-cause you are already taking additional steps in your edu-cation to better yourself both intellectually and monetarily. Some people do not have the opportunity to go to college, and I understand that. These people also know how im-portant it is to make the most of their opportunities to get ahead. Monetary motivation is not the only motivation. Some people are motivated to make a difference in their communities or start fami-lies. Anyway you want to look at it, our differences motivate us to reach certain potentials that can and should always be improved upon.

The government’s role in this whole spiel is to protect us from each other and guarantee we are equally represented and equally protected under the law. If we are citizens of the United States of America then no discrimination should take place from public or private entities. As long as we are not infringing on others’ rights, it is not the government’s role to tell us what to do, how to act, what to wear or what to buy. Every step that is taken towards the government trying to make us “equal,” outside of protect-ing our given Constitutional rights, results in some loss of freedom, a freedom that many have sacrificed for and that of-ten gets taken for granted. Use the qualities and circumstanc-es that you have been given as motivators to reach your high-est potential and do not worry about trying to be other people. I guarantee that most of them are not worried about you and are getting ahead. As long as I can choose, I will choose free-dom.

Wilson’s message is relatable

marlena: Thank you for the very relevant piece. you are so right that Hollywood has set up unrealistic, unattainable beauty standards for society. kate Hudson, scarlett Johansson, michelle Trachtenberg, mila kunis, Lizzy Caplan, amanda seyfried, Natalie Portman, Neve Campbell, sarah michelle Gellar, rashida Jones, Gwyneth Paltrow, amanda Peet, Leah remini, Winona ryder, Laura Prepon and Jennifer Connelly come to mind as unacceptable role models for the white-nationalist minority. Like blacks, white nationalists have a tough time navigating the waters of true femininity when so many of today’s celebrities are Jewish. i look forward to reading and empathizing with more of your work in the future.

Eric Rajalaalumnus, New York City

Corruption is everywhere

While i appreciate the role of the University Graduate student association in advocating for graduate students, i must say that i was very disheartened by the

comments in the recent article regarding UGsa elections (“UGsa chooses new executives,” mar. 30). in that article, the new UGsa treasurer relates that his position is not so subject to abuse and corruption as similar positions with other organizations. Given his statement that “money [should be] spent on things that will benefit the students,” i can only assume that he is implying that other organizations are not doing so -- or worse, are completely corrupt. While this is no overt injustice, it does seem to belie a deep-seated attitude that has plagued this campus administration since the days mary sleasley and her husband were gallivanting down Pullen Drive in the expensive new car her 90-percent raise bought her. While other organizations may not be so hamstrung with set expenses as the UGsa is, we are certainly no more prone to abuse.

Avani’s future father response

avani, i was slightly disheartened by your response in your recent column. What is unfair is the fact that the woman involved felt the need to cover up

her actions. simply because the man expresses a desire to accept responsibility for an unplanned pregnancy does not mean that the reality of the pregnancy for the woman is changed; simply because the man feels that the pregnancy should be continued does not mean that the woman’s inclinations are invalid. knowing that she is not ready for parenthood does not make the woman irresponsible. at times, all couples will come into difficult circumstances and may not agree on a specific course of action. This is that kind of situation; and if you can’t respect her need to make what she feels is the best decision for her health and future, maybe you were not so sure about being soul mates after all.

Voter’s GuideTechnician monday, april 5, 2010 • page 7

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position?Currently, I’ve been in Senate for one year now. I’ve been the secretary, the public affairs chair, and a senator. I’m also going into education, so I’m going to be a teacher. I’m used to being in roles where I’m leading people like this, where you have to be in front of people and organizing things.

What are your top platform goals?Mainly, I want to see students become more involved again. I feel as if Student Senate has gone away from the student aspect. We do a lot of work, but I feel like

that work doesn’t stand outside of those four walls of Senate Chambers. I feel like we need to become students again. We need to go to our students and go out and be with our constituents, rather than just doing Student Senate.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents?The Student Government office can be a bit intimidating, so I want to hold office hours around campus. For example, going to sit at Port City Java for a couple of hours and invite senators to come sit with me to talk to students. Or maybe have some senators get together and go to a movie together at the Student Cinema so that we’re seen on campus.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State?I love football. It’s probably that first time I went to a football game and went tailgating. Seeing everybody that excited was just so much fun.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street?El Rodeo

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position?I come from the College of Engineering and PAMS, so I represent two of the largest colleges on campus which aren’t always well represented in Student Government, and I have been a judicial assistant for a year. I spent a year talking to students, seeing them through the process, talking to them during the process. I also got to observe hearings and see what went wrong and what could’ve gone a little bit better. I have a multitude of skills I can employ.

What are your top platform goals?I want to make students more aware of the student conduct process. I think a lot of the negativity addressed towards student conduct is based on students not really knowing what’s going on.

There’s a reason we have certain sanctions. I want to enlighten students and ease some of their tension. For some, student conduct is like a black hole you go into. I want other people to see what we do and make them aware of what could happen for certain violations.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents?The chief justice has an office on the third floor of Witherspoon in the Student Government area, and I plan on using that office. I have an email account set up where people can just email me. I want people to know that I’m someone they can talk to. I’m a student too, and I understand what they’re going through. I’m not going to judge you, just come talk to me. I want people to feel comfortable if they see me on the Brickyard to walk up to me and start talking.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State?One of my happier memories was when I was doing [supplemental instruction] for Chemistry 101. We were doing it for a really tough topic, and all of the students – by the end of the session – understood the topic, and were able to explain it to me in their own way. I felt really proud of them and myself.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street?Two Guys

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position?I’m currently serving as the UAB’s Film Chair and am an Army ROTC cadet here at N.C. State. Of all the UAB’s Committee Chairs and Executive Board members, I am the only person returning next year. As such I have a thorough understanding of where the organizations stand and what kinds of leaders it needs to get the UAB back in the game.

What are your top platform goals?Since the UAB’s core leadership will have to be built from the ground up, it’s going to be extremely important getting the right people in the right places. An organization like this doesn’t run

without good leaders, and that’s what I’m going to give you. By the time my year as the Film Chair is up, I will have offered 45 free movies through our campus cinema. This free mantra is something I want to pursue. You already pay for these events with your student fees, why pay more?

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents?Leave our Talley office door open, seriously. That thing is always locked, and with our new office arrangement, I see no reason why the Berlin Wall should stand between you, and the UAB leadership inside.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State?Believe it or not, when my parents first left me at my dorm freshman year. The band was nearby practicing, and as I saw my parents’ car disappear onto Western Boulevard, the N.C. State fight song filled the air.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street?Waba

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position?I think I’m the most qualified candidate for this position because of my experiences both in and out of Student Government. I served as an intern in the North Carolina General Assembly for 10 months. That path has really given me a great experience about effective ways to run a true governmental organization. I have the experience.

The qualities that you look for in a senate president is someone who’s strong but mindful, someone who’s willing to stand up for students but also listen. I am not going to be a senate president and stand at that podium and non-objectively defy the will of the students.

What are your top platform goals?My platform goals are to bring the senate back to the

students, advocating for relevant issues, reforming the fee processes, and improving the development of express bus routes – both between Centennial and Main Campus and around Main Campus itself.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents?That should be the number one goal of any senator and Senate president: to be accessible to students. By literally taking the Senate out of Witherspoon and putting it on campus by putting it in population centers – having meetings in dorms, having full Senate meetings in the Brickyard, having committee meetings in the dining halls – we can increase our visibility and transparency.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State?One of the best memories that I’ve had is the fact that I’ve had been able to attend every Carolina/State football game since I’ve been here the past three years, and we beat them three years in a row, and that’s been great. Being involved in the Belltower Campaign and seeing that come to fruition was awesome also. Beating Duke this year and going to stand outside the Belltower and hoop and holler for an hour – that was pretty special. Being involved in that kind of passion and exuberance. All of that was pretty special.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street?Sylvia’s Pizza

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position?Of all the candidates, I have more experience. I’m the only one that’s been a member of the executive board, so I’ve gotten to see the big picture, whereas some of the other candidates who may have some experience with UAB only really saw one committee.

What are your top platform goals?One of my main goals is reaching out to students. I

feel like right now a lot of students don’t know what UAB is. I really would like to reach out to students because every student on campus pays a student fee that goes to UAB.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents?Reaching out to students is a really good start. It hasn’t been one of the top priorities the past four years, so I would really want to make that my top priority as far as being available to students. One of the main things I would do is have more meetings with students outside of the committees. A lot of times committee members are the only people who really hear about anything that’s going on in UAB.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State?When I finally decided on what my major was going to be because I had some direction as far as where I was going.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street?I Heart New York Pizza

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position?I’ve been on the appropriations committee, which is a major thing as we give back money to student groups. I’ve been involved with University Affairs, which is the committee that arguably deals with the administration the most and getting stuff done particularly for the students in dining and transportation. I’ve been on two University standing committees, so I’ve actually worked with the administration.

What are your top platform goals?Reform the treasury – there’s lack of accountability right now and students who’ve been around for a while know that we’ve had five different treasurers in the past three years. [I want] to change that so we have quality students to run it and that there’s accountability to see where all the money is going.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents?I’m an instructor, so I’m used to having my door open and having students wandering in and out with questions. I’ll have an open door policy in the office. There’s definitely a way to get in contact all of us.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State?After my first year of teaching, I had a student come back and said that I actually helped him out in other classes, and I saw that teaching actually affected someone.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street?East Village

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position? I’ve been on the board since I was a freshman and became a judicial assistant for this year. I figured this was the next logical step. I’m a rising senior so I know a lot about the campus.

What are some of your top platform goals? I want to increase outreach within the community, instate new training for board members and partner with student organizations. I want to look at academic outreach, plagiarism, and do some academic integrity presentations. For non-academic outreach, I’d like to look at DUI issues on

campus, responsible tailgating, and I’d like for board members to ride along with campus police and learn about what they do. I’d like to encourage a culturally relevant approach with speakers. After the tunnel incident, we should have had education there. We don’t see a lot of sexual assault and violence cases, but I think we should. We’re more than qualified. We want to get the message out there that it’s not acceptable on our campus.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents? We have offices up in Witherspoon, but nobody knows about it unless you’re in Student Government, and the doors are closed. I live on campus, so I’m going to be around. I’ll have my e-mail out there and I’ll be willing to stalk to students.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State? Rallying at the Bell Tower after we beat Duke in basketball this year.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street? Porter’s Tavern

What are your top platform goals?The biggest thing is Talley. That’s currently in the planning phases. We’ve had a couple of student events already this spring semester. I’ve had a lot of experience working with the design team and students, bringing them together for collaboration.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents?With the board, their Web site has a big link where students can send comments or questions that go

directly to my email. I respond to every email that I get. Our meeting dates are posted on there, and everyone is welcome to come to that. Everyone that serves on our board serves as a liaison back to their parent organization. So there are a lot of channels for communication.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State?The Krispy Kreme Challenge. I’ve worked on their public relations committee that last couple of years, and we’ve been able to bring in a lot of great groups that have really been able to support the race and give more money to the children’s hospital. I guess my greatest memory would be standing on top of one of the entrance walls by the Belltower that they just completed, and looking back at Hillsborough Street seeing the 6,000 people, and when the buzzer rang, watching everyone go.

Student Senate President Student Body Chief Justice

Union Activities Board President

Student Centers President

Sarah Centersophomore, science education

“I care a lot about our Student Senate and I love being a member of it. I think we can change it to involve the students a bit more, but I think it’s a great organization and I love working with the senators.”

Diana Tingenjunior, nuclear engineering and mathematics

“I have the experience and the skills needed to be chief justice, and I think I’d do a really good job.”

Will Lambjunior, communications

“I’m running for this position because as the UAB’s Film Chair this year, I’ve seen what a fantastic organization it is. I know where it’s at now and I know where it needs to go. “

Stephen Koubajunior, political science

“I feel like my leadership experience has really prepared me for the role that Student Senate president has…I want to advocate for students.”

Monica Noblesenior, English

“I want to get some new leadership and get us more active in the community.”

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position?I’m currently the Union Activity Board President, so I understand the leadership aspect of how to run that council, budget money effectively, and how to publicize and get student opinions incorporated into our events.

What are your top platform goals?I really just want to focus on having the SC doing more trips together. I really want to focus on life outside of college, more or less, so they understand what the alum base is. We need to work on growing

that, since we’re really small compared to some other universities.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents?I would try to have office hours or be available at a certain place every week, so that students could come and meet up with me if they need something. I definitely want students opinions, so we’d probably do surveys and stuff as well to get the majority of the senior class’ opinion.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State?Last summer, I was planning the Friday Fest concert, so my best memory would probably be Friday Fest 2009 having my three months of work go out to a wonderful concert that 5,000 students enjoyed.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street?Melvin’s

Why do you think you’re qualified for this position?Starting out, I’ve been involved with N.C. State since my freshman year. During my sophomore year, I was director of the athletic commission. I worked with Sidney Lowe to actually come up with that, and seeing how many students turned out for that, I would like to be able to capture that again for the senior class, not only for basketball, but for everything.

What are your top platform goals?Senior class unity; two end-of-semester job fairs that

would take place at the beginning of December as well as the end of April. These job fairs would be open only to seniors, but seniors from all majors; Senior Class Spring Break- Many of the seniors I spoke with this year simply went home for spring break because the cost was too great or there was no one willing to organize a trip.

How are you going to remain accessible to your constituents?The main way is through the council that I would like to see the senior class comprised of because right now there divided by college, but I would like to make sure that there’s diversity within the organizations. I would definitely have my email address and phone number out there.

What is your favorite memory at N.C. State?Our game against Appalachian State University my freshman year because my best friend went to App State…just going out to the tailgates and enjoying N.C. State Athletics for what we actually have.

What is your favorite restaurant on Hillsborough Street? El Rodeo

“I’m running again because I’ve enjoyed what I’ve been doing, and I think that continuity and position would be an advantage to some of the things that we’re working on.”

“I’m really passionate about N.C. State. I’ve been working a lot on the senior class of 2010 gift, and it really made me realize how much I love N.C. State and spending time with the students.”

Sportseven more when I come into the game,“ Canela said.

The game remained dead-locked until the bottom of the 11th inning. With two outs, two strikes, and the winning run on third, freshman shortstop Matt Bergquist crushed a line drive to right field to seal the game. After freshman pinch-runner Mike Clark crossed the plate, the Wolfpack celebrated its 6-5 win in its fourth walk-off win of the season.

However, the Cavaliers an-swered back on Saturday with a decisive 8-4 win over the Pack to even the series one-to-one. But on Sunday, the Pack edged Virginia 7-6 to clinch the series win.

Virginia was ahead 4-3 until the bottom of the 7th. Dallas Poulk started the rally with a one-out infield single. Then sophomore first baseman Pratt Maynard and Danny Canela both drew walks to load the bases for sophomore third baseman Andrew Ciencin.

After going one-for-10 the first two games, some hitters may have withered under the pressure. Ciencin did just the opposite. With the series on the line he ripped a pitch over the left field wall for a grand slam to put his team ahead 7-3.

“You just have to stay with it the whole weekend,” Ciencin said. “They’re a good pitching staff, but I knew I could do it, so I did.”

The Cavaliers attempted to rally late in the ninth, but fell short. State won, 7-6. The Wolfpack improves to 18-10 overall and 5-7 in the ACC with the series win.

The Pack returns to action with a two-game series at home against Coppin State on Tuesday and Wednesday before facing UNC at Chapel Hill this weekend.

sights.Presnell credits the team’s

current success to solid de-fense and timely hitting. Allbritten said the team’s hitting has not only been timely, but powerful.

“We’ve been hitting a lot of home runs lately, so we just have to work on string-ing them together,” Allbrit-ten said.

The Seminoles are up next for the Pack. The team will travel to Tallahassee in a three-game series April 10-11.

positives from each match.”On the number four

court, Petrovic’s match was close in both sets, yet she failed to finish it out. Petrovic lost 7-5, 7-5 to Amy Sargeant.

“I just didn’t close it out as well as I wanted to,” Petro-vic said. “I didn’t get some first serves in like I wanted to.”

At number two, Hojckova ended up splitting sets, the only match to play a third set. Yet the match resulted in a 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 loss.

“I played well the whole match but she came with the tough shots at the im-portant moments which helped her win the second and third sets,” Hojckova said. “I was kind of upset because this is the third time I’ve lost to her in a three set so I really wanted to win.”

According to Petrovic, the match against Florida State was hard-fought and the team still has high hopes for the season.

“It was really competi-tive,” Petrovic said. “It was really close and the score didn’t show it.”

The Pack will look to bounce back next week as it takes on Virginia at home on Saturday, April 10 at noon.

Coach Elliott Avent picks up his 500th win as State takes series, 2-1, against Virginia

Chelsa MessingerCorrespondent

The State baseball team stepped onto Doak Field Friday night against the Virginia Cavaliers who were ranked No. 1 in the country by Baseball America and Rivals.com. The Cavaliers were looking for their fourth-straight ACC series win against the unranked Wolfpack, but as any Butler basketball fan will tell you, rankings don’t win games.

The Wolfpack offense slugged four home runs in three games against the fourth best pitching staff in the ACC to win the se-ries 2-1. Friday’s win gave Coach Elliott Avent 500 wins, making him only the second coach in program history behind Sam Esposito to reach the 500 mark.

“It feels even better to win two out of three against Vir-ginia, the No. 1 team in the country,” Avent said. “We put ourselves into a little bit of a hole coming out of the Clem-son series, so to win the series against Virginia is what we needed to do.”

The Cavaliers did everything they could Friday night to stave off win number 500. The first game started off as a pitcher’s duel between Virginia’s Danny Hultzen and State’s Jake Bu-chanan. The score was only 3-1 in the top of the eighth.

The Wolfpack began its comeback in the bottom of the eighth when sophomore pinch-hitter John Gianis led off with a double to the wall. Se-nior centerfielder Kyle Wilson then belted a 400-ft home run to left-center to tie the game at three apiece.

Virginia retaliated with two runs in the ninth. But the Wolfpack made a repeat of the eighth inning with a double from freshman pinch-hitter Danny Canela and a home-run from senior second base-man Dallas Poulk to tie the

game again, this time at 5-5. Canela was 2-for-3 that night, solidifying his status as one of

the team’s most clutch pinch-hitters.

After sweep of Eagles, team is “right where [it] wants to be right now” in conference

Kate ShefteSports Editor

After taking two of three from Boston College on Friday afternoon at Curtis and Jacqueline Dail Softball Stadium, State trailed 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning of the final game. A single and two home runs later, the Pack was back in the game.

Junior Alyssa Allbritten and senior Allison Presnell hit back-to-back homers in the bottom of the seventh inning Saturday afternoon to bring State past Boston College 4-3 and complete a three-game series sweep.

“In years past, we wouldn’t capitalize or we’d give up. This year, we believe in each other and hitters,” Presnell said. “I love being the un-derdog because people just don’t see you coming.”

Lindsay Campana got the start but was pulled after four innings. Morgan Peeler earned her first ACC win in relief.

Presnell’s walk-off home run, the second of her ca-

reer, lifted State (23-15, 6-3 ACC) to its fourth victory in a row. The series sweep was the latest in a series of impres-sive wins for the Pack, which has quietly leapt out to a solid early ACC record after being bounced in the first round of the playoffs last year.

“The first half of the season, things were up and down, but we came out with a winning record,” Allbritten said.

State opened some eyes last weekend, taking two of three from No. 12 UNC-Chapel Hill on the road. Though the Tar Heels were much better on paper, Presnell said she had no doubts her teammates would

be able to pull out her final regular season game against their in-state rival.

“They’re a great team and our rival, so it made it even sweeter,” Presnell said. “I knew riding on the bus over to Cha-pel Hill that we were going to win. It didn’t matter that they were better than us. We’re comparable with any team.”

After the 2009 season con-cluded, State lost one pitcher and four players total. Those who remained have stepped up and moved forward with a deep postseason on their

Women’s tennis loses to Florida State Saturday at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center

Jen HankinDeputy Sports Editor

The No. 30 women’s ten-nis team lost 7-0 to No. 17 Florida State on Saturday at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center. The Pack dropped to 9-8 in the year and 1-6 in the ACC. State has lost its last four matches, all to higher-ranked conference teams.

“It’s a little bit upsetting because we were fighting re-ally hard to close matches, but it doesn’t go our way,” sophomore Lenka Hojckova said. “But if we just keep working like this one day we’re going to beat a better team.”

Though the Seminoles took the doubles points, it wasn’t without a fight. The doubles lineup was switched up a bit with Daria Petro-vic, who typically plays with Hojckova, partnered with Sandhya Nagaraj at number two doubles. The duo defeated Jessica Sucu-pira and Federica Suess 8-2,

marking the sole win for the match.

“I felt really good with Sand-hya,” Petrovic said. “I think we go well together and comple-ment each others shots.”

Berkeley Brock and Hojckova lost 8-2 at number one and Di-ana Mortlock and Chloe Smith lost 8-5 at number three.

The Pack had difficultly re-focused after losing doubles. State lost singles on every court. According to coach Hans Olsen, this is a problem that the team has been work-ing on.

“I think it’s a hump we have to get over,” Olsen said. “[We’re working on] losing the doubles point and still winning the match, and we haven’t done that yet.”

On the singles court, Suess defeated Smith 6-2, 6-2 and Brock lost to No. 89 Franc-esca Segarelli 6-3, 6-4 to give Florida State the victory.

Despite the shutout loss, Ol-sen said the team played well.

“They played their hearts out and we just had a lot of positive things to take from today—great mindset, great team effort,” Olsen said. “We just have to keep taking the
