This year’s State Fair, open Oct. 11-21, will feature a “bumper crop of fun,” including more than 100 carnival rides, with two new rides joining the mix.

According to Sarah Ray, public information officer for the fair, the new Rock Star and Genesis rides can each hold more than 20 pas-sengers at a time.

“Each ride features a rotating arm, which lifts seated riders into the air in a clockwise motion,” Ray said.

Dorton Arena on the fairgrounds will feature 11 concerts, including two by Scotty McCreery, American Idol winner and current freshman at N.C. State. Both the Oct. 15 and Oct. 16 shows are sold out.

Also representing the University will be a cappella groups Grains of Time and Ladies in Red.

The two groups, along with Rhythm & Blue from Duke Uni-versity, the UNC Clef Hangers and the UNC Loreleis, are participat-ing is the Varsity Vocal Showcase Thursday.

Other representation from the University in the past has included a Howling Cow ice cream booth, edu-cational booths from the bees and beekeeping classes, a cow-milking station staffed by the Animal Sci-ence Club and the baby chicken petting station run by the Poultry Science Club.

Along with all the other fried treats served up at the fair, sev-eral new foods have joined the list, many of them deep fried.

The past two years saw total at-tendance of more than 1 million people, and State Fair officials are hoping for similar numbers this year.

Fair-goers can purchase ad-vance tickets at a discounted price before the fair opens Thursday. Regular price adult admission tickets are $8 and ride tickets are $1 per ticket.

During Food Lion Hunger Re-lief Day Thursday, Oct. 18, at-tendees can gain free entrance to the fair by donating at least four cans of Food Lion brand food at the entrance gates for the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina.

More information, includ-ing food and ride maps, can be found at www.ncstatefair.org.

Due to an inconsistent power source, Talley Student Center has experienced blowouts for six weeks that have caused the lights to flicker.

According to Director of Op-erations and Planning for Campus Enterprises Jimmy Wright, electri-cal contractors identified the first problem to be a section of bus duct that had been overheating. The sec-tion of bus duct has been replaced.

After some troubleshooting, it was found that the circuit breaker serv-ing the bus duct had also been over-heating and ultimately failed. The circuit breaker serving the bus duct has been replaced and is located on the first floor. The breaker is located on the fourth floor.

The electrical problems have been intermittent and have mainly been isolated to the fourth floor of the building.

According to Operations Direc-tor of University Student Centers Tim Hogan, the most recent elec-trical event occurred Oct. 1. Hogan said there was smoke issuing from a burnt out valve causing the lights to flicker.

“The University is working with contractors to identify the source of the problem,” Hogan said.

Contractors replaced an electrical switch Tuesday morning and every-thing has been running smoothly since then, Hogan said.

“Everything is working efficiently and safely now, [and] we feel very confident that this problem has been resolved,” Wright said.

Hogan claimed electrical contrac-tors had been investigating what

could be potential causes for the blowouts and repairing them.

The electrical problems have “been challenging, but it is not stop-ping us from operating business as usual,” Hogan said.

Offices on the fourth floor have been operational for the most part since the outlets on the computers are still working, Hogan said.

“We had to move a couple meet-ings and events,” Hogan said.

According to Hogan, it was dif-ficult to determine the exact cause of the electrical failures because the problems didn’t happen consistently and occurred with different lights.

There have been three or four electrical incidents in the past six

weeks, according to Hogan.Talley Student Center is operating

under an “old, outdated electrical system and needs to be completely replaced, but we have to get through the rest of this year before we can evacuate the building and turn it over to contractors,” Hogan said.

Hogan said all of the mechani-cal systems will be replaced in the new Talley Student Center. The old electrical system in Talley Student Center only played a minor role in the building of the new facility.

According to Hogan, the electrical problems are “more annoying than dangerous,” and the University is “keeping safety at the top of [its] priority list.”

Talley faces electrical problems $10 million gifted to poultry scienceJessie HalpernNews Editor

The Prestage family, of Prestage Farms, gifted $10 million to name and endow the poultry science department in the College of Ag-ricultural and Life Sciences. Chan-cellor Randy Woodson made the announcement to about 300 guests and faculty members at the Univer-sity Club Tuesday afternoon.

Prestage Farms is a poultry and pork production company head-quartered in Clinton, N.C. The new Prestage Family Department of Poultry Science, honoring Bill and Marsha Prestage and their family, will continue its efforts to “provide a powerful stimulus for economic development in North Carolina and beyond,” according to Woodson.

More than 10 members of the Pre-stage family showed up at the event to support the donation and their patriarch. The family boasts several N.C. State graduates among Bill Pre-stage’s children and grandchildren.

“We started Prestage Farms back in 1983 and our background with the University goes back a long way,” Prestage said. “The University has done so many projects for us and our industry that they are really part of our family, too.”

The gift is going to be divided into

two separate endowments. One, the Endowment for Excellence, will go directly to the Prestage Department of Poultry Science and allow it to “provide faculty and stu-dent support, curriculum en-richments, increased oppor-tunity for interdisciplinary research and enhanced ability to respond to an agricultural crisis,” according to a press release.

The second endowment is going to fund the Prestage Family Distinguished Profes-sorship in Turkey Physiology, Nutrition and Immunology. This funding enables the University to recruit and hire a new faculty member.

“The partnerships we have with supporters like the Pre-

stage family are essential in helping us fulfill our mission as the largest public institu-tion of higher education in North Carolina,” Woodson said.

Among the event’s guest list were several distinguished speakers, including Mike Williams, interim depart-ment head of poultry science.

“In North Carolina, poul-try production accounts for tens of thousands of jobs and millions in economic activ-ity,” Williams said. “The de-partment provides expertise to the poultry industry and citizens throughout North Carolina. The impacts of this department’s programs are significant and profound, and will only increase thanks to this generous gift from the Prestage family.”

Williams said N.C. State’s poultry science department is

one of only six in the United States. According to a North Carolina Department of Agriculture study, poultry represents about 38 percent of all cash receipts from ag-riculture. In addition, the population in the U.S. is es-timated to double in the next 50 years — a message made clear in Prestage’s speech.

“We have to produce much more food on the same acre-age we have today,” Prestage said. “With the University’s help, we produce more food on less footage than we ever have and I think the Universi-ty and professors who worked with us are the reason that’s happened.”

Summer Lanier, a two-time N.C. State graduate from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and public relations director for Pre-stage Farms, was also in at-

tendance. Lanier has been a family friend of the Prestage’s for many years and began working on their farm when she needed an internship in college.

“Both the College of Agri-culture and Life Sciences and Prestage Farms have been guiding forces in my life,” Lanier said. “I am honored to be a part of the merging of both of my families.

According to a press release by Mick Kulikowski, assistant director of news services, The Prestage Department of Poultry Science is the second named academic department in the University’s history.

“Together we will continue to strengthen N.C. State’s position as an incubator for research, educational in-novation, collaboration and economic development,” Woodson said.

BIOSECURITYKATIE SANDERS

Pandemics are one of the inevitable outcomes of a globalized era. With more international trade and trav-el, scares like the avian and swine flu have become a com-mon and serious threat to not only the United States, but the entire global population.

The two presidential candi-dates have similar overall ap-proaches to preventing pan-demics in the United States – both are in agreement that more emphasis needs to be put on stopping diseases at the border. However, Obama wants to do this by working with the public health sys-tems while Romney wants to do this by developing new monitoring systems.

They are also both con-cerned with the reaction time of communities but plan to tackle this issue differently. Obama wants to create a plan so that communities can re-spond quickly if a pandemic occurs, while Romney is more in favor of decreasing response time through an increase in research.

However, they are in dis-agreement about the role of government in medical research. Obama wants to address vulnerabilities in the private sector by making research more public, but Romney believes that regu-lation to the private sector has slowed the drug development progress.

“[Pandemic prevention] requires a multifaceted ap-proach,” Peter Cowen, as-sociate professor of epide-miology and environmental health, said. He is in favor of a three-pronged attack against pandemics.

First, the public health in-frastructure needs to be built up. Unfortunately, because of the economic recession over the last few years, Cowen said the health system has been less effective.

A large part of this, he said, is the lack of educa-tion about the health system and the need to install “ro-bust training programs.” It is impractical to try to stop new diseases from making it across the border. Instead, doctors should be trained to respond effectively. They need to be given the tools, such as a central database for new information or cases, to respond to pandemics that will inevitably arrive.

Secondly, the United States needs to ensure global coop-eration by investing in tropi-cal medicine, and lastly, de-velop a way to communicate quickly with communities about how to respond to par-ticular diseases.

Cowen said that we should realize that it would be very difficult to prevent the new-est disease from crossing our borders.

“The key then is that we must have a capability to re-spond and recover,” Cowen said.

The question of whether research should be mainly private or public seems to be rather counterintuitive, said Cowen, who believes there needs to be a close coopera-tion between the two sectors.

“This is a situation where we really need to draw on our best… sometimes this will be public, and sometimes this will be private,” Cowen said. “Both will be extremely im-portant.”

PUBLIC HEALTH

KATIE SANDERS

Vaccinations can be an un-comfortable and unpleasant experience for many, but they are also necessary for public health. Throughout the past few years, the percentage of people vaccinated in the United States has dropped dramatically.

Obama believes public health care laws must be instated to make sure that a

larger percentage of our com-munity is vaccinated. He said that one of the main reasons people have avoided preven-tative health care is because it is too expensive. Therefore, states should purchase vac-cines at federally negotiated prices.

Romney, on the other hand, believes that to make sure enough people are vac-cinated, three things must be done. First, there must be enough facilities in the United States to manufac-ture the vaccines. Second, the majority of Americans must be encouraged to receive the vaccines. And third, money must be invested to improve the research and development of new vaccines.

Peter Cowen, associate professor of epidemiology and environmental health, believes that public health is on the right track as both candidates are focusing on improving vaccination rates.

“As an epidemiologist, ev-erything that I’ve concluded over the years is that preven-tion is better than cure,” Cowen said. He believes the government should make sure to support preventative medicine.

According to Cowen, one of the most successful things a government can do to im-prove these rates is spread vaccination awareness.

“We have to appreciate the strides we’ve made in better health from public health campaigns,” Cowen said. For example, much of what the public knows about cleaning food and getting vaccinated has come from the success of these campaigns.

Particularly, Cowen said we need to have more en-gagement with people that believe that vaccination is not something that is beneficial, making the consequences of not being vaccinated avail-able and clear.

However, the government must also concentrate on

manufacturing if it wishes to keep a supply of vaccinations viably available to the public.

“Manufacturing vaccines is a complex problem,” Cowen said, “being totally reliant on the private sector to manu-facture vaccines has not been a highly reliable policy,” Cow-en said. He argued not for a completely private system or a federally run one, but a creative public-private part-nership.

“It’s important that govern-ment strengths in research and development are paired with private capacity to bring products to market,” Cowen said.

Cowen also said that there was more manufacturing and research going on inter-nationally, but he saw that as an advantage instead of a problem needing to be fixed.

“We shouldn’t resist that. We should see it as a chal-lenge,” Cowen said.

SPACENICKY VAUGHT

With the upcoming presi-dential election and the re-cent landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars, it only makes sense to include the topic of space in a scientific debate between the two lead nomi-nees. Both expressed interest in using space exploration in terms of practicality.

“What I would not have liked to see from the candi-

dates is extremely specific prescriptions for what NASA should do,” said Stephen Reynolds, a physics professor who specializes in astrophys-ics and relativity.

Obama briefly outlined a plan in which he expects to land people on an asteroid in 2015, which is a very plausible idea, according to Reynolds. Obama also plans to land on Mars in 2030. This fits with a plan he proposed two years prior.

“Most astronomers think that manned explorations to other planets are completely insane.” said Reynolds. “But, of course, astronomers don’t run NASA.”

Romney hinted at using space as a means of national defense. Included in the brief outline of his plan are sugges-tions for partnering with al-lies and launching satellites into orbit.

According to Reynolds, there is currently a treaty for the international use of space, which bans such things as nuclear weapons in orbit.

“I hope there’s no hint of people proposing to contra-vene [the treaty] somehow, so that would mean the defen-sive uses of space are primar-ily surveillance, and I guess that’s okay,” Reynolds said.

Reynolds also acknowl-edged a failure by both nomi-nees to recognize the shortage of funding for NASA. There is very little support and enthu-siasm from the private sector in terms of funding space ex-ploration.

“Space tourism seems to be the only thing people try to do to make a little money,” Reynolds said.

EDUCATIONRAVI CHITTILLA

Recent data suggests the global economy is being driven by scientists, engi-neers and mathematicians. However, a recent study of 15-year-olds in 65 countries found that the U.S. ranked 23rd in science and 31st in math.

When asked about a solu-tion, Obama argued for the advancement of Science, Technology, Education and Math fields by preparing 100,000 additional STEM teachers over the next 10 years.

He went on to outline his “Educate to Innovate” cam-paign, bringing together

individuals from all sectors to improve the classroom experience, as well as a plan to establish a STEM Master Teacher Corps that will be es-tablished in 100 sites across the country to support 10,000 STEM teachers over the next four years.

Romney focused on school choice and the drag that teachers’ unions place on the education that children all over the country receive. Romney discusses putting in place standards for students to meet and for teachers to be held accountable, but he never specifies what his stan-dards will be or his plan to hold teachers accountable for their performance.

Jim Martin, professor of chemistry and Wake county school board member, of-fered his own input on both candidates’ plans.

Martin disagrees with the President’s “Race to the Top” initiative because it too heavily relies on the results of standardized testing, but more importantly labels “ed-ucation as a race.”

According to Martin, one cannot race through the pro-cesses of discovery, explora-tion, and inquiry, but instead must live with an education system that often relegates these to a multiple-choice test.

Martin criticizes Romney for not understanding the “role education plays in so-ciety,” and offering “no real plan” to improve the state of the nation’s education. Martin said people do not understand that educational improvement takes time, and that neither candidate is willing to admit the lack of a quick-fix to the problem.

The verdict? “I think Mr. Obama has a better under-standing for the need of the role of education in our de-mocracy than does Mr. Rom-ney, but I still do not feel that he has a complete educational vision for this country,” Mar-tin said.

Presidential Science Debate 2012Though it wasn’t as heavily publicized

as the official presidential debates, President Barack Obama and Mitt

Romney took the time to answer questions about their stance on certain scientific issues in early September.

ScienceDebate.org invited thousands of scientists, engineers and concerned citizens to submit what they felt were the most im-portant science questions facing the nation that the candidates for president should be debating on the campaign trail.

Science Debate then worked with the lead-ing U.S. science and engineering organiza-tions listed at left to refine the questions and arrive at a universal consensus on what the

most important science policy questions fac -ing the United States are in 2012.

Some have criticized the debate for not including obvious controversial questions in their debate, such as teaching evolution in public schools; however, it is a marked improvement that the candidates actually responded this time — when the Science Debate team approached the 2008 presiden-tial candidates, they opted to instead discuss their religious faith in a “Faith forum”.

In an effort to offer informed criticism of the 2012 debate, professors and experts at the university gave their opinions on the candidates’ responses. Their thoughts can be found below.

W hen we enter college, we are pristine and

innocent children who barely have our eyes open to the exciting life ahead

of us. We are unsure of what to expect in this un-known world. We constantly wonder if the life

and world in front of us will compare to the excit-ing lives of the main char-acters from “Gossip Girl” and “Saved by the Bell: The College Years.” Then we step onto the red and ever-slippery bricks and realize college is nothing like how it is depicted on the Upper East Side, apart from one thing: copious amounts of drinking.

Though not everyone in college engages in this recreational activity, by and large, the vast major-ity of students do. I am in no position to judge any-one else for their weekend choices. However, recently there have been many re-ports of alcoholism being taken to a new extreme, namely in the new and awfully creative ways that people are discover-ing and implementing in order to get a little buzz covertly.

About a month ago, there was a report about a college student who was sent to the emergency room for severe alcohol poisoning. Like previously stated, this type of report is not normally seen as anything out of the ordi-nary. However, with fur-ther investigations, it was believed that the cause of the student’s health woes was due to the practice of “butt-chugging.”

For those of you that are unfamiliar with this pe-culiar practice, some peo-ple are now using a hose or a tube to filter drinks into their rectum in or-der to become intoxicated faster. The idea behind the act is that if you put alco-

hol directly into your colon, it will be absorbed much more quickly than if done the old fashion way. The person who decided to give this a try and repeatedly perform this act to ensure quick intoxication is someone I would like to have a few words with, but that is beside the point.

Additionally, there have been reports in the news about another bizarre tac-tic also gaining a following, which doesn’t have quite as catchy a name as “butt-chug-ging,” however it is of a simi-lar token. These days, people are so antsy to get drunk they are going to the store, purchasing tampons, soak-ing them in vodka, then in-serting them into their body. Once inside their body, the alcohol is absorbed without the barrier of the stomach. This trend is not exclusive to women — men are taking to vodka tampons as well.

People are finding the most extreme ways to get intoxicat-ed, and I would like to know why. Why exactly are people so eager to get drunk that they want to place feminine products into their bodies just to get a buzz? Moreover, why are people so desperate to get drunk that they have to use these stealthy methods? What is wrong with the old tradition of meeting up with a person for a casual drink and consuming the beverage the traditional way? Call me old-fashioned, but that is the way I have come to appreci-ate my overpriced alcoholic beverages.

Lastly, if you do decide to drink, please do so in a care-ful matter. Drinking is not worth the risk of ending up in the hospital and, more im-portantly, not worth the hu-miliation of having to explain to your family that the reason for your almost deadly hospi-tal visit was due to something commonly known as “butt chugging.”

Who needs science anyway?

It is a sad time for sci-ence in United States politics. On Sept. 27 at

a banquet held at Liberty Baptist Church in Hart-

well, Ga., a m a n named Paul Broun went up in front of cam-eras and a crowded congrega-

tion and had the following to say:

“All that stuff I was taught about evolu-tion, embryology, big bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell. It’s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who are taught that from understanding that they need a savior.”

Broun went on to claim the earth is only about 9,000 years old, despite overwhelming evidence for a 4.5-billion-year-old earth.

Paul Broun isn’t a fringe-group leader, and he isn’t an ordinary citi-zen. Broun is a member of the U.S. House of Rep-resentatives — and what’s worse, Broun is described as a “high-ranking” mem-ber of the House’s Com-mittee on Science, Space

and Technology.In other words, a leading

member of a group that has great influence on scientific policy and laws in U.S. poli-tics does not want to accept conventional science.

I only wish Broun was the only one.

Another member of the House of Representative’s science committee demon-strated his knowledge of fe-male physiology earlier this year when he claimed wom-en’s bodies have a mecha-nism that is capable of terminating a pregnancy if she is “le-gitimately” r a p e d — Todd Akin sits proudly on the sci-ence com-mittee to this day.

Ralph Hall, t he cha i r-man of the committee, played a hand in killing a bill that would give more funding to scientific research and inno-vation by adding the measure onto another bill that would force federal offices to allow workers to view pornography while on the job.

Hall rejects the findings of climate change research, not because of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, but

because he believes research on climate change is a lie, and that scientists are only seek-ing monetary gain.

“I’m more fearful of freez-ing. And I don’t have any sci-ence to prove that,” Hall said regarding climate change.

These representat ives aren’t looking at evidence and forming conclusions as the scientific method dictates — they are starting with pre-conceived conclusions and errant disregard for evidence. It seems completely inap-

propriate for these repre-sentatives to serve as part of a scientific committee — it’s no more acceptable than an ac-rophobe be-ing in charge of a city’s Tall Buildings Commission.

The fact of the matter is Paul Broun is on the House of Represen-tatives’ science committee, where science should be the primary focus. If he and other representatives do not value well-documented scientific evidence and the scientific method, then perhaps the House should find represen-tatives who do.

Blame it on the alcohol

Baby, what’s your race?“What are you?” has to rank

among the top five ques-tions I am most com-

monly asked. It is filled with ambiguity, and yet I always know how to respond: “Half Filipino and half white.”

The asker of the question usually responds with an exaggerated, “Ohhhh.” De-pending on how well they know me, they may also throw in a remark like, “So that’s why you’re so [insert

trait that makes me look not Caucasian].” To clarify, I say I am “Filipino” as in my

mom was born in the country of the Phil-ippines. Sorry to disappoint, but I am not directly related to “Filipinos” — the biscuit crackers sold in Spain.

Being Filipino has led to a hardship that seems to never go away. When we took the SAT, applied to N.C. State, and when we reg-istered to vote (I’m sure you’re registered to vote) we were all asked our race. While others were struggling through the math section of the SAT, we were still on the cover page trying to decide what race we most identified with.

And although race is not something that can be altered, it is one section of college ap-plications where many Asians choose to tell a “white” lie. An article by the Associated Press stories five Asian-American college students, all of whom attend Ivy League schools. Of the five, two openly admitted they only checked the box for “white” on their college applications. Two others did not check any box and the fifth checked “Asian.”

As a full-time Asian-American, I can sympa-thize with the urge to only mark “white,” but to others the incentive may not be so clear. The AP article ex-plains, “[Asian-Americans] often need test scores hun-dreds of points higher than applicants from other ethnic groups to have an equal chance of admission. Critics say these numbers, along with the fact that some top colleges with race-blind admissions have double the Asian percentage of Ivy League schools, prove the existence of discrimination.”

The University of California at Berkeley

is a prime example. Since Proposition 209 was passed by the state, forbidding colleges to consider race in the admissions process, UC Berkeley’s percentage of Asian students increased from 20 percent to 40 percent.

When the maximum SAT score was 1600, Princeton sociologist Thomas Espenshade

found that in 1997, “Asian-Americans needed a 1550 SAT to have an equal chance of getting into an elite college as white stu-dents with a 1410 or black students with an 1100.” Thus, college applicants are compared to those of the same race in competi-tion for admittance.

This creates a problem for many Asian-Americans

because we are grouped in the same category as Asians who grew up in Asia. Amy Chua, author of “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” explains, “Chinese parents can order their kids to get straight As. Western parents can only ask their kids to try their best.”

I was born and brought up in the U.S. and would consider my home life to be far more

American than Asian. My race, an uncontrol-lable factor, groups me with Asians like Lanya Olmstead — a Harvard student who consid-ers her 2150 SAT score to be “pretty low.” I scored … lower, to say the least. Race alone should not be a factor that defines a student. A person’s race is not any sort of direct insight to her life, the educational opportunities she had, or even the type of culture in which she was raised.

Although affirmative action was imposed to promote equal opportunity, many argue that it has led to reverse discrimination. This prob-lem extends to other races and has recently become relevant again due to the case of Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin. An article by Megan Messerly in The Daily Californian explains that Abigail Fisher, a white student, “claims her rejection from UT Austin was due to the university’s policy of considering race in the admissions process.” Opening arguments are set to begin today. California, Michigan and Washington have all banned affirmative action, and this court case may add a fourth state to the list. Despite the fact color-blind admissions may decrease the diversity of uni-versities, many see it as the only way to give all students a truly equal opportunity.

Do you think the United States needs an

official language?

{ }IN YOUR WORDS

“Yes, we do need one. When we go places we need to be able to communicate with people that speak other languages.”

Kadija MitchellFreshman, psychology

“No, I do not think so. America is a country based on the fusion of cultures. English is the primary language, but does not need to be official, though most people speak English.”

Tim CrawfordFreshman, transition program

“Yes, seeing how we already speak English most of the time, it should be the official language.”

Evan StoneFreshman, engineering

“No, I do not see the need for an official language. It would confuse vistors. We already do everything in English.”

Hello N.C. State and readers of Technician! I am Miguel A. Sanchez and I would like to introduce you to a new weekly section of Technician that will come to you every Wednesday. This section will be titled “Bienvenidos” and will be a bilingual section written in Spanish and English. While the majority of what is written will be printed in Spanish, one article per

week will be printed with Engli

sh printed right beside it. For articles that are not printed in English and Span-ish, a QR code will be avail-able so that you may read the article online, with Spanish and English side by side. A link will also be available on every page so that you may access our home page.

So where did this idea come from? I am a third-gener-ation Mexican-American. My grandparents migrated from Chihuahua and Mon-terrey, Mexico. Because my parents and I were born in the United States, English has been my primary [and until recently] only lan-guage. Frustrated, I sought out every avenue to learn and practice my Spanish, whether it was the listening to the radio, through music, through reading or watching telenovelas on TV. However, when I got to college, I met several other Hispanics in the same boat as me — or worse — not knowing the language at all. There were others who spoke Spanish f luently but could not write it. I also met

many people who had taken advanced Spanish classes, whether in high school or in college, but had little to no proficiency at all.

This is why I came up with the idea of publishing a bi-lingual Spanish newspaper. I want to help bridge the gap between written and spoken Spanish, increase Spanish literacy among Latinos and non-Latinos and provide an avenue for students on our campus to actively participate towards learning a second language.

I want everyone to have the opportunity to not only im-prove their Spanish, but also to learn more about what is going on in our local La-tino community, and about what is going on around the world. We plan to bring you a great mix of hard news and feature stories, ones that will make you think twice, and ones that will make you feel hungry and ready for more (sometimes literally)! So please, enjoy this publication, every Wednesday, y ¡Bien-venidos a nuestra publicación bilingüe!

¡Saludos a N.C. State y a los lectores del Technician ! Me llamo Miguel A. Sanchez y quisiera presentarles una nueva sección semanal del Technician que va a publicarse cada miércoles. Esta sección se nombrará Bienvenidos, y será una sección escrita en español e inglés. Aunque la mayoría de lo que sea escrito será impreso en español, un artículo por semana se impri-mirá en inglés y español. Para traducciones en inglés, habrá un código QR para que se pueda conectar a la red. Esta opción de ver los artículos en inglés y castellano será hecha posible por el uso del código QR. En nuestro sitio web, podrá encontrar el artículo seleccionado escrito en los ambos idiomas, uno al lado de otro, para que pueda ver los dos idiomas a la vez. En cada página también será disponible un enlace en que se puede encontrar nuestra página principal en línea.

Entonces, ¿de dónde orig-inó esta idea? Soy un mexica-no que lleva dos generaciones en los Estados Unidos. Mis abuelos emigraron desde Chi-huahua y Monterrey, México. Porque mis padres y yo naci-mos en los Estados Unidos, el inglés ha sido mi primer (y hasta recientemente) único idioma. Frustrado, busqué

cada camino posible para aprender y practicar mi es-pañol, asi fue como empecé a aprender: escuchando la radio, escuchando música, leyendo, y viendo telenove-las. Sin embargo, al llegar a la universidad, conocí a mucha gente latina en la misma situ-ación que yo, o aún mucho peor, sin conocimiento del id-ioma en absoluto. Había otras que hablaban español con fluidez pero que no podían escribirlo. Conocí también a mucha gente que ya han tomado clases avanzadas de español, ya sea en la escuela secundaria o en la universi-dad, pero no tenían dominio en lo más mínimo. Esa fue la la razón por la cual se me ocurrió esta idea de publicar un periódico bilingüe en es-pañol. Quiero ayudar a salvar la distancia entre el español escrito y hablado, aumentar el alfabetismo en español entre los latinos y los que no sean latinos, y quiero proveer una avenida para los estudiantes en nuestro campus de partici-par activamente en aprender un segundo idioma.

Quiero que todos tengan la oportunidad de no solamente mejorarse en el español, pero también de aprender de lo que está sucediendo en nues-tra comunidad local latina, y de los eventos que está sucedi-

endo alrededor del mundo. Planeamos traerles un crisol genial de información se-ria y artículos de primera plana, unos artículos que les harán pensar dos veces, y unos que les traeran cu-riosidad dejándolos con deseo de más. Entonces, sin más que decir, deseo que disfruten el contenido de éste todos los miércoles, and welcome to our bilin-gual publication!

Cristóbal Colón, almirante de la flotilla es-pañola, descubrió nuevas tierras el doce de oc-tubre de 1492. Este acontecimiento cambió el rumbo de la historia alterando las prioridades de los poderes de Europa. Inmigración se pre-sento a través de la conquista de las nuevas tierras. Colonizadores de España, Inglaterra, Francia, Portugal y otros países se unieron a la aventura.

La tenacidad de los colonizadores españoles y su ventaja por haber descubierto el nuevo continente primero que los demás; les po-

sibilito esparcirse y adquirir más territorios que los competidores. Como resultado en el presente 18 de 35 países en el hemisferio Americano se habla español como lenguaje oficial.

En la 27a edición de la Fes-tival Internacional de Raleigh se les pregunto a varias perso-nas recordar esta fecha y sus patrimonios coloniales.

“En Colombia se va al río, aquí (en los Estados Unidos) se hacen desfiles, danzas folklóricas, canastas de las flores” dijo Sendy Jaro, una terapista

bilingüe de Morrisville. “…Y aguardiente con anís,” comentó Ja-

vier Solis, un residente de Raleigh.

Alicia Lazarowski, una bailadora de Argentina, dijo que lo que sea la ocasión, los latinos encontrarán una razón para celebrar la vida.

“Los Latinos siempre se reúnen cuando es feriado. Actos en las escuelas, los es-pañoles, las tres calaveras: La

pinta, La Santa y La Niña. Asado primavera el clima es muy bonito.” Alicia y Eduardo

Lazarowski ; bailadores de tango Argentinos. “Cristóbal Colón; Pienso que es una buena

cosa porque dio modernidad para vivir pero también empezaron con la esclavitud. Es un momento para pensar para el futuro de este mundo, las relaciones entre culturas y los países del mundo,” dijo Clevelan de Haiti.

Para entender el futuro tenemos que volver al pasado. A través de estas celebraciones la audacia de los conquistadores y la fortaleza de los nativos se mantendrán en nuestra raza y subsecuentes generaciones.

El domingo se realizaron las elecciones presidenciales en Venezuela, en las cuales, el futuro de Latinoamérica y muchos países puede resultar afectado por la elección del pueblo venezolano. El 7 de Octubre, el país sudamericano escogió entre el líder populista Hugo Chávez y Henrique Capriles Radonski. Chávez, el actual presidente y un ex-miembro de las Fuerzas Armadas, fue también uno de los responsables del intento de golpe de Estado de 1992. Capriles, un abogado que fue presi-dente de la Cámara de Diputados, fue alcalde de Baruta y ex-gobernador de Miranda. En 2002, el régimen chavista lo mantuvo preso por unos meses. El resultado final fue una victoria de Chávez con un 54 por ciento de los votos contra un 45 por ciento de Capriles, con el resto dividido en votos nulos y otros candidatos.

Ambos candidatos ofrecían dos propuestas distintas; el actual presidente se enfocaba en la continuación de su proyecto populista de más de 14 años mientras el candidato Capriles ofrecía un camino distinto, en el cual el dis-curso contenía repetidamente las palabras: progreso, unidad y paz.

Venezuela es un país que lleva más de 13 años con el mismo líder, en donde generacio-nes como la nuestra solo tienen en mente un Gobierno y una ideología presente al mando. Desde 1999, el pueblo venezolano ha estado en una revolución constante, fundamentada en realizar cambios para deshacer el capitalismo y la empresa privada del país con un llamado, bajo el lema chavista del “Socialismo del Siglo XXI.” Realmente, es un populismo basado en usar el resentimiento en la clase más baja

para mantener popularidad y generar una idolatría del estado dominado por la figura del presidente.

En ese período también los niveles de crimi-nalidad, secuestro y asesinatos a mano arma-da, han aumentado de manera desproporcio-nada. Un gobierno de denominación “social” ha sido el que ha tenido los peores índices de muertes en el país en su historia. Un país que

hace 12 años no superaba las 4,500 muertes por año debido a la delincuencia, ahora regis-tra un incremento de más del 400 por ciento, según a reportes policiales.

Aún así el modelo populista de Chávez ha influido significativamente a Latinoamérica, principalmente en países como Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Cuba y algunos países de Centroamérica. Todo esto ha creado confron-

taciones entre los propios países hispanos y con Estados Unidos. Chávez también ha sido uno de los líderes anti-estadounidense, relacionándose con países como Rusia, Irán, China y Siria. Sin embargo, el Estado controla la compañía Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), que realiza sus mayores exportaciones y ob-tiene la mayor parte de sus ingresos de los Estados Unidos, lo cual resulta contradictorio. El futuro y la paz de este país de América del Sur son importantes para el mundo.

Las elecciones también han llegado a estar presentes en N.C. State, donde hay aproxima-damente 25 estudiantes venezolanos según registros de la Universidad. Hace dos semanas, la alumna Celeste Escotet dibujó una bandera de Venezuela en el Free Expression Tunnel y escribió las frases “Hay un camino” el lema de Capriles y “Aquí hay orgullo venezolano.”

Así mismo Samuel Sotillo, un profesor vene-zolano que enseña castellano, lleva más de 12 años fuera de patria, dijo, “Hay tiempo de que Chávez reflexione, aunque es poco prob-able. Pero al final lo positivo de todo es que en Venezuela somos fieles al sistema democrático y siempre se observa una alta participación.” Este año alrededor de 80 por ciento de los po-sibles electores votaron.

Ahora el futuro es incierto. Chávez tiene cáncer, por lo que surgen preguntas acerca de si será capaz de superarlo y de gobernar en tales circunstancias o incluso de quién podría sucederle en caso de que no pueda seguir al poder. Lo que está por verse es si la populari-dad de Chávez sigue disminuyendo como es tendencia en los últimos años y cómo prosigue el discurso de “Socialismo de Siglo XXI,” que hasta ahora ha consistido en prometer mucho y actuar poco.

Cada independencia es únicaTianna Soto Corresponsal

Banderas alzadas, colo-res brillantes, y sonido de trompetas fuertes. Era la mañana del 15 de Septiem-bre y la alegría y la risa llen-aban las calles de Costa Rica. Desde las 6 de la noche del día anterior, las familias se esta-ban reuniendo en las calles para participar en el famoso Desfile de los Faroles.

Las escuelas se mantuvi-eron cerradas para que los niños y los maestros pudieran compartir en la celebración. El entusiasmo de la gente era contagioso.

Era el día de la independen-cia en Centroamérica. Cinco países celebraban su indepen-

dencia: Honduras, Nicara-gua, El Salvador, Guatemala y Costa Rica. Todo los años, miles de niños muestran su faroles caseros en el Desfile. Esta tradición comenzó en el año 1821, cuando Dolores Bedoya corrió por las calles de Guatemala con su farole. Ella invitaba a los ciudadanos a participar en el movimiento por la independencia al frente del Palacio Nacional.

La gente gritaba “Viva la Libertad! Viva la Patria!” Y en momentos, la indepen-dencia fue firmada y estos países fueron liberados de España. En celebración de este aniversario, la gente ilu-minaba la ciudad con faroles, decoraban sus casas y canta-ban himnos nacionales.

Estas tradiciones aún se re-alizan hoy en día. Este año es el aniversario 191 de la inde-pendencia de Centroamérica. (Nota histórica: después de una breve alianza con Méxi-co, los 5 países se unieron para formar la “República Federal de Centroamérica” antes de separarse en esta-dos más pequeños en los años 1830).

Todas las personas de Cen-troamérica disfrutan y par-ticipan en el Desfile de los Faroles. El 15 de septiembre, en la ciudad de México, los mexicanos se congregan al frente del Palacio Nacional. A las once de la noche, el Presidente de México suena una campana y recita un canto para reflejar el “Grito

de Dolores” del padre Miguel Hidalgo en 1810.

La Fiesta Patria es represen-tada en cada zócalo (plaza) de México y es conmemo-rado por los mexicanos en todo el mundo. Los puestos le ofrecen antojitos tradicio-nales, además de “ponche” y “guayabas.” Cuando termina la ceremonia del grito, el cielo se ilumina con fuegos artifici-ales y multicolores, y la gente proclama con orgullo, “¡Viva México!”

Deanna Metivier, una es-tudiante de primer año en la evaluación de ecosistemas de los recursos naturales, afirma que el Día del Grito, también llamado Fiesta Patria, es una de sus tradiciones mexicanas más favoritas. A pesar de vivir

lejos de México, ella no pierda la oportunidad de celebrar su herencia aquí en Carolina del Norte.

Deanna expresa que recon-ocer y celebrar el Día del Gri-to le da “otra razón para estar orgullosa de ser mexicana”.

“Hay comida mexicana, música, baile y por supuesto, como sugiere su nombre, ¡gritos! A pesar de que mu-cha de mi familia está miles de kilómetros de distancia, en México, todavía lo más im-portante es sentirse cercano.

El Día del Grito sigue sien-do una tradición especial que todos los mexicanos alrede-dor del mundo se unen en la celebración.

Cuando los chilenos se despiertan el 18 de septiem-

bre, lo más probable es que muchos de ellos ya han estado celebrando partes de “Diecio-cho,” su día de la indepen-dencia. Hoy en día en Chile, todo el mes de septiembre se denomina como “Mes de la Patria,” las fiestas duran var-ias semanas.

En el corazón del Dieciocho es la “cueca.” La cueca es el estilo de Nacional de música y danza de Chile la cual a menudo se ve durante el Mes de la Patria. Como la música ref leja de temas de amor, eventos o geografía chilena, la cueca es una expresión de alegría y la independencia nacional.

Esta semana, El Festival Anual de Películas Latino-americanas está proyectando películas gratuitas al público en honor del mes de la heren-cia hispana. Este evento que empezó el 4 de Octubre du-rará hasta este viernes 12 de Octubre. Este festival exhibe películas de temas y directo-res latinoamericanos y está patrocinado por el Consor-cio en Estudios en América Latina y el Caribe de la UNC-Chapel Hill y la Universidad de Duke.

El 2012 marca del 26 an-iverario del festival. A través de los años, las películas se han demostrado en trece lenguajes y representa la variedad de culturas Latino-americanas celebrando la rica cultura del cine Hispano. El propósito del festival es ex-hibir películas latinoameri-canas y crear un ambiente

donde la gente puede discutir acerca de las películas y cele-brar la tradición del cine lati-noamericano. También se da a los cineastas una plataforma para compartir sus películas en un ambiente comunal.

El año pasado, dos películas se presentaron en la univer-sidad NC State como parte del festival anual. La univer-sidad NC State proyectó dos películas en el Witherspoon Student Center. Las películas, A tiro de piedra y El Infierno eran películas Mexicanas del 2010 y 2011 respectivamente. Los organizadores del festival hacen su mejor esfuerzo en traer directores a las proyec-ciones para hablar acerca de las películas y el director de A tiro de piedra, Sebastian Hiriart, estuvo presente en la proyección de esta. Este año, el festival es más corto, ya que presentara trece películas en vez de casi veinte como en años anteriores, y se llevará a cabo en el mes de Octubre

para celebrar el mes de la her-encia hispana.

Las películas se exhibirán en los cines de UNC-Chapel Hill y Duke University. Las películas cubren una gama de temas y representan nueve países y cuatro idi-omas, además del obvio, es-pañol. Estas películas tienen en común un énfasis en los temas de Agua y Revolución. Todas las películas se enfocan en la cultura latinoameri-cana, y hay subtítulos en inglés para todos.

Dos de las películas más conmo-vedoras y bien elogiadas del festival son Dos americanos y Lula, filho de Brasil. Dos americanos es una película producida en Los Estados Unidos por los directores Daniel DeVivo y Valeria Fernández. Esta película se

enfoca en el impacto per-sonal de las políticas de in-migración, y relata la historia de una familia mexicana en el condado de Maricopa en Ari-zona cuya vida se ve alterada por el encuentro con “Ameri-ca’s Toughest Sheriff,” Joe Ar-paio. Este encuentro resulta en la atención de los medios abogando por la eliminación de la posición del Sr. Joe Ar-paio. La película se enfoca en

este conflic-to, así como en el efecto en la familia. La segunda película, Lula, filho de Brasil, del di-rector Fabio

Barreto, es la película más costosa producida en Brasil y se presentó a la Mejor Película Extranjera Oscar en 2011. La película sigue la historia de Lula da Silva, quien creció en la pobreza extrema y que, con la guía de una madre fuerte, se levanta a pesar de increíbles obstáculos para convertirse en el presidente más querida de Brasil.

El jueves 11 de Octubre, Revolución, (México 2010), una colección de diez cor-tometrajes, se presentara en el Varsity Theatre en Chapel Hill, incluyendo un corto-

metraje de la directora de La misma luna, de Patricia Rig-gen. La película de cierre del viernes es José Martí: El ojo del canario (Cuba, 2010), un retrato de ficción de la histo-ria de un joven José Martí, poeta cubano. Este evento será procedido por una re-cepción y un concierto de

música en vivo por la Cha-ranga Carolina, 5:30-7 p.m. en FedEx Global Education Center, Atrium, en la UNC-Chapel Hill. Este festival será una buena oportunidad para las personas que deseen me-jorar su español y desarrollar sus conocimientos de la cin-ematografía latinoamericana.

his defensive capability. His athleticism is apparent in his ability to force turnovers and intercept passing lanes. Fortunately for State, Barber found his fix in Raleigh.

“I thought the place was for me -- the coaches, area-wise,” Barber said. “It felt right. I had to commit.”

When “Cat” decided to run with the wolves, he knew he would be able to offer his ath-letic skills to Gottfried and his teammates.

Barber said he is especially suited to play alongside Pur-vis and fellow recruit Kyle Washington.

“I’m a good point guard,” Barber said. “Coming in as a freshman, I just want to help the team out.”

Young and full of potential, Barber hopes to fit right in with the up-tempo Wolfpack. He helped lead Hampton to a Virginia AAA State Cham-pionship last season and is currently averaging over 20 points per game, earning at-tention among many recruit-ers and coaches.

Barber said Gottfried af-

firmed his belief in his talent, encouraging him to keep working toward the ultimate goal.

“He told me to work hard and come in believ-ing we are going to win a national championship.”

The Wolfpack faithful are bursting with antici-pation, but only Gottfried and the Pack have the true self-confidence it will take to win. Barber is just part of promising young talent that will bring the Pack back like never before.

a two-yard fourth and goal touchdown pass to sopho-more Bryan Underwood.

My, oh my, how Glennon’s favorability among Wolf-pack fans changed in less than three quarters of play-ing time.

Now I’m at a crossroads: should I be ashamed of the fans when they so quickly turn on NCSU athletes? Or should I be grateful for be-longing to a school that has a fan base enthusiastic enough

to never settle for mediocrity?Any State fan who has been

to a Wolfpack sporting event knows that this occurs almost every time the Pack is losing. Most of these same fans are guilty of doing it themselves. It’s a commonly known theme in Raleigh: State fans don’t cheer and lift up their team when it’s down. They mock and boo.

I could draw quick conclu-sions about these fans and call them unfaithful, but I think that’s wrong. Wolfpack fans are passionate. They want the best for N.C. State. And when the best doesn’t happen, they

get disappointed.It excites me to think of

how fervent State fans are. My only request is that they respect the players, especially while the game is in play.

Benjamin Franklin once stated, “If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.” It’s no secret that passion drives the Wolf-pack’s fan base. It needs to acknowledge that and turn the taunts into en-couragement.

ing flair. He took a free kick to force a save from Belmont keeper Lou Manning and also fired a shot from close range that went closely over the bar.

With 10 minutes left in the half the style of play turned scrappy as the referee let sev-eral fouls go uncalled. The score wall null at half.

State came out in the sec-ond half with a much stron-ger attack, but was unable to convert. Martinez made an-other run from the left side

of the field and took a shot on goal, but one again Manning made the save.

The physical play from both sides continued as the referee continued to allow fouls to go uncalled.

With 22 minutes remaining in the second half Belmont stole the ball near midfield and went on the counter at-tack. Belmont’s Brandon Tarr crossed the ball into the box and Pedro Miranda headed the ball into the back of the net to produce the lone goal of the match.

After the goal, State went back on the attack but was unable to capitalize. A missed

foul call in the box drove the nail in the coffin for State.

The Pack’s frantic last ef-forts did not find the target.

“We can improve in every way possible. I think they worked a lot harder than us. They wanted it more than us and we are not working hard enough,” Martinez said.

Wit h t he loss , State dropped to 7-6 on the season and 1-6 in its last four games. The Pack will attempt to move forward as they travel to Virginia Tech Friday night to face the Hokies.

Top basketball recruit signs with PackHalle MangrumStaff Writer

It appears that the men’s head basketball coach Mark Gottfried has begun a new and long-await-ed era at N.C. State. The bar was set high for Gottfried and the Pack this past spring when the team was fresh off a run to the Sweet Sixteen. This year the bar has been set even higher.

Now the team, expected to be near the top of the preseason rankings with the help of fresh-men guard Tyler Lewis, forward T.J. Warren and guard Rodney Purvis, is already awaiting the addition of the talented and highly sought-after recruit An-thony Barber in 2013.

Barber verbally committed to the Pack in September over other schools, including defending Na-tional Champion Kentucky.

Something interesting that many people might not know about Barber is his nickname, “Cat.”

“I got the name from my sisters when I was little, because I used to run around a lot and jump up on things,” Barber said. “I was so fast.”

Barber is quick, just as his fam-ily recognized early on. His value as a recruit is stockpiled in his speed, as it allows him to beat his man off the dribble, get into the lane and make plays.

Another asset that Barber will bring to the Wolfpack is

On the coldest day of the sea-son so far, the N.C. State Men’s Soccer team faced off against Belmont. This matchup was the first contest between the two teams. State looked to rebound from a loss against rival Duke in their previous match, but was unsuccessful in a 1-0 loss to Belmont Tuesday night.

“I think we need a little more passion overall and I think we took this game for granted, we looked past this one,” head coach Kelly Findley said.

The team was without several key players in the contest. Junior forward Nader Jaibat, sophomore midfielder Jonathan Ray, sopho-more forward Monbo Bokar and freshman defender Michael Neslon, are all no longer with the team due to team rule violations. Bokar was second leading scorer on the team with five goals.

The cold weather seemed to affect the players on both sides, producing slow play throughout the half. In the first half, the Wolfpack tallied five total shots while Belmont had three. Wolfpack goal keeper Fabian Otte had one save during the first half.

State’s best opportunity of the half

came when Alex Martienz made a run and drew the goalie out of po-sition. Martinez’s attempted cross to Zabarle Kolie was blocked out of bounds by a Belmont defender.

Chances were limited throughout the remainder of the half.

Junior forward Nazmi Albadawi made his return to the playing field after being sidelined with an injury for five weeks.

“It felt good it’s been five weeks,” Albadwai said.

Albadawi’s addition to the field proved much needed as he made several runs and provided an attack-

Let reason hold the reins of passionN.C. State fans never

cease to amaze me, a nd I ’m u nsu re

whether I should be grateful or ashamed of their relentless spir it toward their own kind.

With just un-der 14 minutes to play in the second quarter of Saturday’s u p s e t o v e r third-ranked

Florida State, the Seminoles put up its first touchdown to give the team a 10-0 lead. State’s defense held up well to this point, but the offense was struggling to move the ball upfield.

Following the ensuing kickoff, the Pack seemed to have a bit of life, moving the ball into Florida State territory on a 19-yard re-ception to junior wide receiver Quintin Payton, energizing the Wolfpack faithful.

That energy soon dwindled. Redshirt sophomore running back Tony Creecy lost 6 yards on first down to push State back to midfield. Following an incomplete pass, senior quar-terback Mike Glennon threw an interception on third down

with 10:56 left in the half.And then came the agitated jeers

and boos from Glennon’s own fans:“Glennon, you suck!”“Put in Manny Stocker! He sure

can’t do any worse!”“Your brother was a better quar-

terback!”Without fail, State fans released a

wave of despondent cries for some-thing more than mediocrity.

I chuckled at a few of the cries, as some of them were comical. But deep within me, my chest was burn-ing. The game wasn’t even at half-time and it was only a two-posses-sion game, yet the fans around me were calling for the heads of Glen-non and company.

Fourth quarter rolled around. State trailed 16-3. Glennon capped off the first drive of the quarter with a 24-yard touchdown pass to fresh-man running back Shadrach Thorn-ton to cut the deficit to six points.

The rest is history.The Red Terrors regained posses-

sion in Seminole territory with two and a half minutes to play. Glennon managed to keep his composure, converting on fourth down three times to win the game for the Pack, 17-16, capping off the drive with
