Headbands of Hope, an orga-nization created by an N.C. State student last year, has been get-ting a lot of attention for its work with childhood cancer patients.

Various companies and me-dia outlets, such as NBC’s To-day show, Family Circle, Fitness Magazine and TOMS Shoes, have recognized and endorsed the organiza-tion.

Founder and CEO Je s s ic a Ekstrom, a se-nior in commu-nication, said she was very excited about all the attention Headbands of Hope was receiving.

“It’s something that I always dreamed would happen,” said Ekstrom.

Ekstrom founded Headbands of Hope in April 2012, after in-terning with the Make a Wish Foundation. As an intern, Ekstrom noticed a lot of young girls who had lost their hair to chemotherapy wearing head-bands as a mark of their femi-nine identity.

Ekstrom said she created Headbands of Hope to instill hope and confidence in girls of all ages and conditions, and to fund childhood cancer research.

For every headband sold, the organization will provide a head-

band to a girl with cancer. Ekstrom modeled this after the TOMS Shoes “one for one” policy. Additionally, for every headband sold, the com-pany donates one dollar to St. Bal-drick’s Foundation for childhood cancer research.

“It’s unfathomable how many girls we can impact with just one head-band,” Ekstrom said.

Since its inception, the organiza-tion has donated more than 3,000 headbands and $3,000. That num-

ber is growing every day, said Ekstrom.

Retailers across the state, includ-ing the University’s bookstore, sell the headbands. They are also available for purchase online at www.headband-sof hope.org. The

headbands come in a wide range of colors, prints and styles. Bumper stickers and T-shirts are also avail-able for purchase.

Additionally, Headbands of Hope is in the process of creating a line for boys, Headwear of Hope, which should be available sometime this year, Ekstrom said.

Ekstrom said she is proud to have the headbands manufactured in Bismarck, N.D.

“It was really important to me for the headbands to be made in the U.S.,” Ekstrom said. “It was chal-lenging to find a manufacturer, but it was well worth it.”

In light of the postgame event when Will Privette, a paraplegic student, was knocked from his wheelchair as students stormed the court after beating the Duke bas-ketball team, one student designed a shirt to commemorate the occasion.

Graphic design student Aaron Picart designed the shirts, which read “Roll Pack” and feature one person pushing another person in a wheelchair.

The shirts are available both on-line and in the bookstore. Revenue from increasing sales goes to We Connect Now, a campus support group for students with disabilities, as well as to students for merit and need-based scholarships.

Picart designed the shirts after

the State-Duke game in which Stu-dent Body President Andy Walsh wheeled Privette to the middle of the court. Other students stormed the court accordingly but knocked Privette out of his wheelchair and nearly trampled him. Basketball team member C.J. Leslie picked him up and continued to celebrate the victory.

The shirts made their appearance Sunday, Jan. 13 on the website, nc-sugiantheads.com, before the “Roll Pack” trademark was licensed.

Gregg Zarnstorff, director of trademark licensing at Campus En-terprises, the University’s division of retail and hospitality services, contacted Picart about the design.

Gov. Pat McCrory recently an-nounced plans to propose legisla-tion that would redirect state funds from liberal arts programs to “job creation,” according to McCrory’s plan for higher education.

He has outlined his plan on his website, www.patmccrory.com. According to the strategic plan, reforming schools for job creation includes easing the transfer from

community college to any of the UNC System schools.

“I think some of the educational elite have taken over our education where we are offering courses that have no chance of getting people jobs,” McCrory said on The Bill Bennett Show, a conservative radio program, Tuesday morning.

McCrory specifically noted gender studies and philosophy courses as examples.

Currently, legislation allots money to universities based on how many

students attend. McCrory’s pro-posed legislation would change it to provide money based on how many graduating students get jobs.

“Starting in high school and con-tinuing through our higher educa-tion system,” McCrory said on his website, “we must ensure our stu-dents are on the right path to ac-quiring marketable skills that will lead to a productive and satisfying career. My goal is for every student to get a job after they graduate — not move back in with his or her

parents.”The governor also said he hopes

to measure success in a more com-prehensive way, but how exactly he plans to do that remains unclear.

Throughout the radio interview, McCrory used UNC-Chapel Hill for examples. The first was a comment on gender studies, the second on the athletic scandal.

“What are we teaching these courses for if they are not going to help get a job?” McCrory said.

According to McCrory’s web-

site, a recent uncited study ranked North Carolina as having one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. By implementing his new legislation, McCrory hopes to lead the state into the top 10 most edu-cated states by 2025.

Rather than funding liberal arts programs, McCrory’s proposed plan, presented in four parts, is to “help students find the path to success that is right for them,” “en-

Bridging the gap on immigration

President Barack Obama an-nounced his plan for comprehensive immigration reform in Las Vegas on Tuesday. His public support for a bi-partisan bill to overhaul the current system came as an anticipated move since White House officials leaked that the president will address im-migration within the first weeks of his second term.

“I’m here today because the time has come for common-sense, com-prehensive immigration reform,” Obama said during his speech at Del Sol High School, where more than 2,000 people were in atten-

dance. “The time is now. Now is the time. Now is the time. Now is the time.”

The president’s speech in Las Ve-gas marks the first trip of his sec-ond term, and he said he regrets not passing immigration reform during his first term, calling it his biggest failure.

Obama laid out the framework of his proposal with three principles: enforcing existing policies, finding a path to citizenship for the 11 mil-lion undocumented immigrants living in the United States and expediting the process, what the president called, “[bringing] our legal immigration system into the 21st century.”

The president warned that as legis-lation goes underway, emotions will get high, and he urged the public to press Congress on acting swiftly.

“Immigration has always been an issue that enflames passions,” Obama said to the predominantly Hispanic audience. “When we talk about [immigration and citizen-ship] in the abstract, it’s easy some-times for the discussion to take on a feeling of ‘us’ versus ‘them.’ And when that happens, a lot of folks forget that most of ‘us’ used to be ‘them.’ We forget that.”

Newssure students are attaining marketable skills to enter the workforce,” “encourage degree completion,” and to “integrate resources across campuses and expand use of technology to improve educa-tional quality and drive down costs.”

According to the strategic plan, McCrory hopes to re-direct funds toward strength-ening K-12 schools and com-munity colleges as vocational schools.

The Board of Governors hopes to ease the college transfer pipeline for students transferring from commu-nity colleges to UNC System schools.

The community college re-form maintains that commu-nity colleges focus mostly on vocational studies, preparing students for the job market or for attending universities.

According to the Under-graduate Admissions Office,

more than 25 percent of the student body transferred to N.C. State from another in-stitution.

“I’m a big advocate of com-munity colleges…[and] the priority of community col-leges must remain vocation-al training,” McCrory told Charlotte Business Journal.

According to The News & Observer, faculty in the UNC system received McCrory’s comments with disdain.

“If we want to create a so-ciety of non-thinkers, follow McCrory’s line,” Meg Mor-gan, a UNC-Charlotte Eng-lish professor, said. “If we want critical thinkers and

world changers, we need to make them look at new ideas and change their lives … based on them.”

Ekstrom worked with the College of Textiles and the College of Design when she was in the process of starting the business and said it was great to have their support. Both schools helped Ekstrom with “brainstorming ideas” and locating a manufacturer.

“The support of N.C. State has been fantastic. Having the Wolfpack behind me the whole way has been a really special experience,” Ekstrom said.

Currently, there are over 20 campus representatives for the organization at schools around the nation, accord-ing to Ekstrom.

Representatives promote the organization and dis-tribute headbands, among

dealing with other respon-sibilities.

“[Being a representative] is a great way to get involved and gain marketing experi-ence,” Ekstrom said.

Students at N.C. State can involve themselves as well, ac-cording to Ekstrom. Ekstrom said she is looking for a cam-pus group or sorority to pro-mote the organization, sell headbands, and maintain the presence of Headbands

of Hope on campus. “It would be great to have

a sorority throw a headband mixer,” Ekstrom said.

Ekstrom said she was also looking for students to serve

as campus representatives to fill her shoes after she gradu-ates this year.HOPE

at Campus Enterprises, Picart just wanted to raise money for Privette’s wheelchair. However, once students had

raised the funds necessary for the wheelchair, he decided to continue selling the shirts to raise funds and awareness for students with disabilities.

On Wednesday, Jan. 16, dis-tributors started selling the shirts. They sold out within

two days. Privette said he was amazed

at the speed in which the in-cident was spread and so quickly transformed into a marketable trademark.

According to Zarnstorff, the large demand for the

shirts led them to produce about 2,800 within the first five days of sale.

Two dollars from each T-shirt sold goes to We Connect Now. According to Barnett, online and bookstore sales have reached about 3,000

shirts, bringing in about $6,000 for the organization.

“Future sales depend on many factors,” Barnett said, “primarily continued inter-est.”

All excess revenues earned from Campus Enterprises go

toward funding for merit and need-based scholarships, as well as toward paying stu-dents who work on campus. The organization donated $1,187,367 for scholarships last year and more than $3.3 million since 2009.

Revealing ‘The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty’Nicky VaughtDeputy News Editor

The New York Times best-selling author Dan Ariely recently published a third book, The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty: How we Lie to Everyone—Especially Ourselves, which explores cheating and dishonesty as irrational behaviors.

Ariely, who also wrote Predictably Irrational and The Upside of Irrationality, is a professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University and found-ed the Center for Advanced Hindsight in Durham. He has spoken at Technology, Enter-tainment and Design confer-ences, and his recorded talks have accumulated more than 2.8 million views.

“People often don’t realize that trust is a kind of public good,” Ariely said. “So what happens when we don’t trust other people and institutions? It really hurts everybody.”

I n t h e book, Ariely humorously yet profes-sionally an-a lyzes two conflicting human mo-tivations: our desire to view ourselves as honorable people and our innate proclivity to lie to achieve our goals.

The book explores many ways in which we lie to our-selves, we lie to others and others lie to us, as well as the effect dishonesty has on our lives.

“What interests me,” Ariely said, “is the fact that there are a lot of places where I would see behavior I think is not ideal, so is it not ideal or do I just think it’s not ideal, and can we do something about it?”

As it turns out, there are many ways in which we can combat and reduce cheat-ing, and the beginning of the book contains a num-ber of effective ways to do so. Typically, the best way to combat cheating, whether on a test or taxes, is to provide an individual with a moral reminder. Having a student sign an honor code before a test, for example, is a some-what reliable means of com-batting dishonesty.

Interestingly, Ariely notes a time in which he presented

his findings to the IRS, pro-posing a few anti-cheating methods. The IRS, however, seemed disinterested and un-moved by the findings. The inclusion of this in the book spoke volumes about how au-thoritative figures are prone and susceptible to dishonest behavior.

Ariely uses a series of ex-periments to gauge how people behave — and cheat — given certain situations. The experiments typically follow a basic setup, which establishes a good, consistent set of control data. Not only are the experiments stable, but Ariely also considers every possible hole or f law and acts accordingly by run-ning more experiments. This way, he makes no conclusions without firm, valid evidence.

Not only does he give exam-ples of how we cheat by only small margins when given the opportunity, he also demon-strates what factors play into our dishonest behavior. For

instance, wearing fake designer merchandise has more in-f luence on our dishon-esty than the

value of a reward would.Several times in the book,

Ariely points to businessmen, bankers and medical profes-sionals as reliable examples of dishonest people. He outlines how conflicts of interest may influence behavior whether realized or not.

One chapter explores the world of pharmaceutical reps and their influence on doc-tors. The book sheds some light on how and why doctors recommend certain medica-tions to patients who tend to trust their caretakers.

“This information and un-derstanding how devastating conflicts of interest can be is actually a huge burden,” Ari-ely said. “So every time you go to see a banker or lawyer or dentist, you actually don’t trust him. It isn’t that these are bad people, just about conflicts of interest.”

The author provides per-sonal, relevant anecdotes, which helps readers better understand and empathize with the material. Ariely, a former burn victim, recalls one trusted doctor that want-ed to tattoo small, black dots

on his face to restore symme-try. When Ariely expressed hesitance, the doctor yelled and criticized young Ariely. As it turned out, the doctor only wanted to use equip-ment he had spent his own money on, and it led him to try to manipulate his patient.

The author’s personal sto-ries help guide the book, making a more comfortable and relatable reading experi-ence.

Through one experiment, Ariely explains how we lie to ourselves for a number of reasons, but mostly to better lie to others. He demonstrates how people who have know-ingly cheated or received help on a task often believe their skill level to be higher than it actually is.

Dishonesty isn’t always a bad thing, though. Ariely points out that people can lie to make others feel better and not worry. He regards this as a good thing, recalling his time spent in the hospital,

being told he looked better than he did. These “white lies” kept his optimism high and, he says, tend to do the same thing for others.

A number of things can influence our propensity to cheat. Among them, Ariely cites things such as tiredness and hunger as factors toward dishonesty. Once dishonesty starts, he warns, it grows and eventually contaminates those around us.

Ariely maintains humor despite the bleak picture he paints of everyone’s ba-sic dishonesty and provides semi-optimism in the face of discouraging data. His re-search pertains to everybody, and The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty is a must-read for psychology and behavioral economics students, as well as for anyone interested in what leads us to cheat.

Viewpoint

This column is in honor of the death of absolutes. We

can no longer claim any-thing with conviction

because there is another s ide to every state-ment imagin-able.

For ex-ample,

“creative” won as the most overused buzzword on LinkedIn profiles in both 2012 and 2011. However, this same word ranked among the top qualities that employers looked for in job candidates.

The concept of black-and-white no longer ex-ists. Health trends, politi-cal views, business moves — they’re all evaluated inside a vague gray zone. We’re still making up our minds about whether or not global warming is our fault. “Yes” or “no” are no longer the right answers to hypothetical situations. It all “depends.”

I blame the rise in “un-surity” on the increasing use of statistics in our ev-eryday lives. Last year, a single statistic, Mitt Rom-ney’s 47 percent, was on the end-of-the-year list of overused phrases. Other famous statistics are the “1 percent” and “99 per-cent.” Read any ESPN article and you’ll start to

feel like sports articles consist more of numbers than words.

I criticize statistics because statistically, it’s impossible to prove that anything is true. Instead, we can only prove the untruth of something. In other words, I could never prove that all Wolfpack fans have been to an athletic event. I can only prove the opposite by finding at least one Wolf-pack fan who has not been to an event. You can see why I hated my statistics class.

It’s this frustrating mode of thinking that has murdered the all-or-nothing attitude. In his inaugural address, President Barack Obama said, “We must act knowing that our work will be imper-fect. We must act, knowing that today’s victories will be only partial.” I realize that completely fixing society’s problems is impossible, but I always thought our govern-ment should at least aim for it.

Sigh, I give up. In honor of the death of absolutes, here are some more things that are apparently not quite true:

Being overweight is un-healthy. A Reuters Health study found that people who were overweight were 6 per-cent less likely to die early than thin people. According to lead author Katherine Fle-gal, this is actually the com-mon finding — as in this has been replicated more than once.

United we stand, and di-vided we fall. According to psychologist Jean Twenge of San Diego State University,

the United States is one of the most individualistic coun-tries in the world. A recent PLOS One study found that the words “I” and “me” have been rising in conversation since the 1960s.

Whole grains are good for you. Talk to any Paleolithic eater, and you will soon hear about how absolutely awful grains are for your body. Jar-ed Diamond, a UCLA evolu-tionary biologist, claims that grains are the “worst mistake in the history of the human race.” The base of our food pyramid has been associated with lower Vitamin D levels, autoimmune disease and di-gestive problems.

Too much sodium can re-sult in high blood pressure. A 2011 study in the Journal of the American Medical As-sociation found that reducing sodium intake doesn’t change a thing when it comes to risk for hypertension.

An obsession with per-fectionism is counter-pro-ductive. This past March, Reader’s Digest reported that people with OCD, perfec-tionist-based tendencies, are more often “very productive” at work than their more easy-going counterparts.

Please write letters to the editor describing how you partially agree or somewhat disagree with me. When you’re going about your du-ties today, try to stay mostly safe, and try to do a pretty good job in class.

Helping those dealing with abortion

I watched a close friend go through an abor-tion in 2011. She cried

on my shoulder. I saw her pain. I never seemed to have all the answers, only the heart and empathy to

l i s ten. I saw how difficult it was for

her to go through this. I watched her reach out to counselors and end up not going to get the sup-port she needed because she did not identify with the beliefs of their orga-nizations.

I found that when I asked other people for advice on the subject of abortion, they only voiced how they felt about abor-tion — often citing their rel ig ious or polit ica l views, or they summed it up in, “pro-life,” or “pro-choice.” The thing is, I never asked for their po-litical or religious views. I don’t care.

Where do you go when no one talks about abor-tion unless they are stat-ing their opinion?

I am the founder of The Beautiful Pain Move-ment, a support group for women and men who have experienced abortion and for family and friends who want to help. I am a 20 year old who is inspir-ing change.

This issue is bigger than any opinion related to abortion. I want people to know that there is a safe place to talk about their experience where they do not have to fit a certain mold or requirement. There are organizations that offer support and re-sources, but only appeal to a certain group.

The Beautiful Pain Movement is not associ-ated with any political, religious or pro-life/pro-choice views. Come as you are.

In our society, we voice what we believe with con-viction, but does it really matter in the end? My vi-sion is that we begin to see others for who they are, past the titles, labels and boxes that society places us in — that we can reach

out and help people without judging them for what they have been through — that people can get the love and support that they might not have, but desperately need.

We must not forget that we are all human.

I started The Beautiful Pain Movement to help those who have experienced an abortion situation or support a loved one in this situation. The Beautiful Pain Movement of-fers a place of support, love, hope and resources.

The controversial belief behind The Beautiful Pain Movement is that I am ask-ing you to look beyond your morals and political and reli-gious beliefs. Does that scare you?

I want you to dig deep to what many people seem to have forgotten. Discard the garbage that society, media and your environment feed into your conscience about race, gender, sexuality, social issues and religion. Can you get the support you deserve? Can you be more helpful and supportive towards someone who is going through this? Think about it.

The Beautiful Pain Move-ment is just getting started.

If you are someone who has dealt with abortion, or would like to help a loved one, please contact us via the informa-tion above. We will not post the locations or times of the meetings to ensure your ano-nymity.

My ‘some-what’ opinion

Joseph HaveyDeputy Viewpoint Editor

BY MERARI VALENCIA

What would make students think about local social issues as

much as they do about college sports?

“It would take a whole cultural change. We are more driven by our desire to have fun and we don’t want to think about social issues ... so we have to get people focused on these issues and then we can start thinking about solutions.”

Rob Schultzsophomore, management

“We are in a bubble society where there is no awareness, so we need to work on increasing awareness.”

Sarah Leichterjunior, biological sciences

“I don’t think there’s an easy answer to that … I think it’s an issue of awareness in their daily lives.”

Cameron Jettonsenior, economics

“If they did more events on the Brickyard to raise awareness, like the Shack-a-thon.”

Elizabeth Buckleyjunior, business administration

Any Wolfpack fan who had a bird’s eye view of the inside of PNC Arena (or maybe anyone with nosebleed

seats) could describe to you the awesome-ness and sheer intimidation Wolpfack faith-fuls emanated during the matchup against UNC-Chapel Hill last Saturday. Twitter feeds overflowed with the #GoPack and #GTHC hashtags. But how many people in Raleigh posted about homelessness, hunger or poverty on Saturday? Very few, if any at all.

There’s something to be said by the fact that more than 18,000 people filled PNC to watch a basketball game — most of whom either waited for hours in the cold or paid a premium for tickets to be there. And what’s even more astounding is that such a large group of fans, in unison, cheered, danced and jumped in support of the Pack.

Meanwhile, according to Raleigh Rescue Mission’s website, approximately 78,000 people in Wake County are living in pover-ty — and more than 11 percent of Raleigh’s population live in poverty. Raleigh Rescue Mission, a religious service organization, also

estimates that family homelessness is growing by 11 percent each year.

Yes, the basketball games are exciting, es-pecially because we get to boast a nation-ally ranked team this year. But wouldn’t that energy, money and time students and fans spent acting as one have been bet-ter spent helping a few of the 29,000 living in poverty in Raleigh?

Large corporations do team up with coaches for charitable causes. The Infiniti Coaches’ Charity Challenge is a competition between NCAA Division I basketball coaches in which fans vote for a coach and the coach’s charity of choice. The coach with the most

votes will win $100,000 for his charity — and Infiniti will give $5000 to the charity each participating coach represents.

Those sorts of events are all well and good, but we can’t leave it to multinational corpo-rations to make a no-ticeable local impact.

On Jan. 16 Techni-cian ran a story about the Urban Ministries Food Pantry. Director of Development at the ministry John Welch asked the University

to let people and students know that the min-istry needs help.

Even attendance at the annual Service N.C. State event hosted by the Center for Student Ethics Leadership and Public Service pales in

comparison to the masses at PNC.It’s great to be excited about N.C. State bas-

ketball — and we have every right to be after a more than 20-year dry spell. But we need to find a way to bring our zeal for sports to public service.

This editorial is in no way a criticism of college sports, rather, a critique of the hu-man condition. We need to ask ourselves if entertainment is more important than helping those who need it most. If the answer is “yes,” then we should reassess our values.

Mark HerringEditor Ejecutivo

El Presidente Barack Obama anunció su plan para una reforma migratoria comprensiva este martes en Las Vegas. Su soporte público por esta nueva reforma para remplazar el sistema actual viene desde el momento en que la Casa Blanca informó que el presidente iba a atacar el tema de la inmigración en las primeras semanas de su segundo mandato.

“Estoy aquí hoy porque ha llegado el momento para ten-er un poco de sentido común con la reforma migratoria,” Obama dijo durante su dis-curso en el colegio Del Sol, donde más de 2,000 personas asistieron. “El momento es ahora. Ahora es el momento. Ahora es el momento. Ahora es el momento.”

El discurso del presidente en Las Vegas marca el primer viaje en su segundo período presidencial, y dice que lamenta no haber pasado la reforma mi-gratoria en su pr i mer período, considerán-dolo su may-or fracaso.

Obama most ró lo q u e s e r í a e l m a r c o de su pro-puesta con tres principios: reforzar las políticas actuales, buscar un camino para la ciudadanía de los 11 millones de inmi-grantes indocumentados que viven en los Estados Unidos y el aceleramiento del proceso, algo que el presidente llamó, “(traer) nuestro sistema de inmigración en el siglo 21.”

El presidente alertó que mientras la legislación va fluyendo, las emociones serán grandes, e incita al público a poner presión al Congreso para que actúe correcta-mente.

“La inmigración siempre ha sido un problema que llama a la pasión,” dijo Obama a la audiencia donde predomi-naban Hispanos. “Cuando hablamos [de la inmigración y la ciudadanía] en lo ab-stracto, es fácil a veces que la discusión se convierta en un ‘nosotros’ contra ‘ellos.’ Y cuando eso sucede, mucha gente se olvida que la mayoría de ‘nosotros’ éramos ‘ellos.’ Eso se nos olvida.”

América Moreno, estu-diante de segundo año en Meredith College, está acos-tumbrada a ser categorizada como “ellos.” Moreno, in-migrante indocumentado,

vino a los Estados Unidos desde Guanajuato, México cuando tenía dos años, y por 17 años, ha vivido en Caro-lina del Norte. Después del fracaso del DREAM Act en 2010, que hubiese otorgado la ciudadanía a los estudiantes de universidades que fueran indocumentados, los jóvenes latinos dudan y temen estar muy esperanzados acerca de un cambio, Moreno dijo.

“Ha sido frustrante recaer y esperar las políticas” dijo Moreno. “Con los múltiples intentos fallidos, he apren-dido a no tener mis esperan-zas en alto. Voy a seguir las noticias, pero no me voy a esperanzar mucho.”

En lunes, el Senado in-trodujo un plan bi-partidario que trata de “arreglar nuestro sistema fracasado,” y el Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) dijo que piensa el Congreso pueda aprobar la reforma an-tes del verano.

Moreno dijo que si la re-forma pasa a través de la leg-islatura de manera rápida,

el la tendrá que esperar consider-ablemente c o m o u n inmigrante indocumen-tado.

“Hasta durante el discurso de Obama, él dijo que sería

un camino a la ciudadanía, pero me pondrían al final de la cola de eso, por lo que tendría que esperar aún más,” dijo Morena. “Me canso de esperar.”

“Tenemos que exponer un camino — un proceso que in-cluye pasar una verificación del fondo, pagar impuestos, pagar penales, aprender in-glés, y de allí llegar al fondo de la cola, después de toda la gente que están tratando de venir acá legalmente,” Obama dijo. “¿Es justo, verdad?”

Esperar 17 años para re-forma no ha sido justo, dijo Moreno, y aunque quedó desconcertada sobre el debate que resultará muy pronto en Chapel Hill, ella dijo que con-tinuará siguiendo las noticias y advocando sus derechos.

Ja qu e l i n ne Mu r i l lo -Figueroa, una estudiante de tercer año en estudios inter-nacionales, es de Guanajuato, México, y vino legalmente por medio de un programa de amnistía en 1999. Aunque Murillo-Figueroa es una resi-dente legal de los EEUU, su estatus no ciudadano la ha permitido a empatizar con inmigrante indocumentados, y se le ha dedicado la mayoría

de su tiempo en advocar la comunidad latina.

“Desde que llegué a la uni-versidad, he tratado de in-tegrarme en todo, el Dream Act, y éste es nuestra opor-tunidad,” Murillo-Figueroa. “Siendo voluntaria en el Consulado Mexicano, he tratado de ayudar a gente de esa manera. Hay muchas ra-zones para estar involucrada en el activismo Latino, pero si ni siquiera puedo ir a la uni-versidad, ¿entonces para qué intentar? Ser un inmigrante te hace sentir apartado, y puede hacer que la gente se sienta con falta de poder. Ten-go una amiga salvadoreña, y es una de las personas más inteligentes y talentosas que conozco. En el colegio ella siempre ganaba competicio-nes locales de arte. Ella quiere ir a la universidad para estu-dia fotografía, pero debido a restricciones pasadas, no ha podido.”

Murillo-Figueroa dijo que continua esperanzada acerca de un cambio, pero el presi-dente alertó al público que la batalla para encontrar una solución no va a llegar fácil, pero con suerte, dijo Obama, hay al menos apoyo bi-par-tidario.

“En estos momentos, pa-rece que hay un deseo genu-ino de lograr esto pronto, y eso es algo esperanzador,” dijo Obama.

Si el clima político perman-ece esperanzador, puede que estudiantes como Moreno puedan tener un nuevo fu-turo por delante.

with being categorized as “them.” Moreno, an un-documented immigrant, came to the U.S. from Guanajuato, Mexico when she was two years old, and for 17 years, she has lived in North Carolina. After the failure of the Dream Act in 2010, which would have granted undocumented students in college Ameri-can citizenship, Latino youths have hesitated to be too hopeful about change,

Moreno said.“It’s been frustrating, just

relying and waiting on poli-tics,” Moreno said. “With the multiple failed attempts, I’ve learned not to keep my hopes up. I’m going to keep on fol-lowing the news, but I’m not going to build.”

On Monday, the Senate introduced a bipartisan plan that aims to “fix our broken immigration system,” and Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he thinks Congress can pass reform by the sum-mer.

Moreno said if reform passes through the legislature swiftly, she will have to wait considerably as an undocu-mented immigrant.

“Even in Obama’s speech, he said there would be a path to citizenship, but I’d be put at the back of line of that, that I’d have to wait more,” Moreno said. “I’m tired of waiting.”

“We’ve got to lay out a path — a process that includes passing a background check, paying taxes, paying a penal-ty, learning English and then going to the back of the line, behind all the folks who are trying to come here legally,” Obama said. “That’s only fair, right?”

Waiting for 17 years for reform has not been fair, Moreno said, and though she remains disconcerted about the debate that will soon en-sue on Capitol Hill, she said she’ll continue to follow the news and keep advocating for her rights.

Ja qu e l i n ne Mu r i l lo -Figueroa, a junior in inter-national studies, is from

Guanajuato, Mexico, and she legally came to the U.S. through an amnesty program in 1999. Though Murillo-Figueroa is a legal resident of the U.S., her non-citizen status has allowed her to em-pathize with undocumented immigrants, and she has dedicated much of her time advocating for the Latino community.

“Ever since I got to college, I tried to get involved in ev-erything, the Dream Act, and now this is our chance,” Murillo-Figueroa. “Volun-teering at the Mexican Con-sulate, I’ve tried to help peo-ple that way. There are a lot of reasons to get involved in Latino activism, but mainly if I can’t go to college, then why even try? Being an im-migrant makes you feel alien-ated, and it can lead to people feeling powerless. I have a Salvadorean friendand one of the smartest, most talented people I know. She wants to go to college, but because of former restrictions, she was unable to.”

Muri l lo-Figueroa sa id she remains hopeful about change, but the President warned the public that the fight to find a solution will not come easily. But luckily, Obama said, there is at least bipartisan support.

“So at this moment, it looks like there’s a genuine desire to get this done soon, and that’s very encouraging,” Obama said.

If the political climate re-mains encouraging, then maybe students like Moreno will have a new future to look forward to.

thus far, has exemplified that this is “their time.”

Senior guard Marissa Kas-tanek and junior forward Kody Burke, along with ju-nior college transfer center Markeisha Gatling looked poised to lead the team in the right direction this sea-son, but the squad continues to struggle.

The team has been in many close games, losing six games by 10 or fewer points. Losses to UNC-Chapel Hill, Florida and Northern Iowa have been back-breakers for the team.

They went 1-7 from Dec. 20 to Jan.20—a full month—all seven losses to ACC oppo-nents.

As the head coach, it’s Harper’s responsibility to

have a finely tuned machine, ready to compete night-in and night-out. Harper’s squad still has a chance to salvage the season and make it a special one. Close losses have pre-vented the team from a better re-cord—they need to find ways to get it done.

The team could go on a run. They could win t h e AC C tournament and save her job. But if they don’t, I see Harper’s time with the Pack drawing to a close.

It is the women’s basket-ball program’s time. It’s time to become relevant again in

the ACC. It’s time to make the necessary changes in order to make that happen. Are all choices easy? No, but collegiate athletics is a busi-ness, and something needs

to be done to make it a success.

Athlet-ics Director Debbie Yow will not con-tinue to put up with pro-grams that deliver sub-par perfor-mances. As fans know, s h e w a s

quick to fire former head football coach Tom O’Brien after finishing the season with a winning record and taking the team to its third consecutive bowl game ap-

pearance. Last year alone, Yow

made coaching changes in football, women’s soccer, softball and wrestling. Men’s soccer, basketball and the swimming and diving program have also seen coaches leave under Yow’s watch.

If the next year’s squad wants Harper around as its head coach, they bet-ter take their game to an-other level — more im-portantly, a winning level.

The culture is changing at N.C. State, and Harper could be next in line if results don’t turn around quickly for the Wolfpack. I don’t think Debbie Yow would think twice about making the decision to fire Harper if it’s right for the program.

QUOTE OF THE DAY“When we’ve

been on the road

it seems like it

turns into a rugby

match. We have

got to be better at

handling that”Mark Gottfried,

men’s basketball head coach

Nolan Evans & Rob McLambDeputy Sports Editor & Staff Writer

N.C. State’s road woes in league play continued as the Wolfpack (16-5, 5-3) lost its third straight ACC road game 58-55 to the Uni-versity of Virginia (15-5, 5-2) in a pivotal conference matchup at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Va.

State is the only team in the ACC to never win a game in John Paul Jones Arena.

“When we’ve been on the road it seems like it turns into a rugby match,” N.C. State head coach Mark Gottfried said. “We have got to be bet-ter at handling that.”

Ju n ior for-ward C.J. Leslie paced the Wolf-pack, ta l ly ing 20 points and 14 rebounds. The Holly Springs native did not start the game due to f lu-like symptoms.

“I thought he fought through it and played well,” Gottfried said. “I give him a lot of credit because he has been pretty sick.”

The Wolfpack jumped out to a quick lead and kept it until ju-nior guard Lorenzo Brown in-jured his left ankle with 10:29 re-maining in the first half. Brown did not return to the game and his status for the Pack’s home game against ACC-leaders Mi-

ami on Saturday is unclear. “I think it will be a couple days

before we have any idea if he will play against Miami this weekend,” Gottfried said. “He wanted to play, tried to play.”

Virginia head coach Tony Bennett acknowledged Brown’s importance to State’s success.

“I am also aware that they lost per-haps the best guard in the league in Brown,” Bennett said. “We still had to make plays, and we persevered… I am thankful for the win.”

Senior forward Richard Howell was the only other player for N.C. State to score in double figures with

12 points to go with 11 rebounds.

The Wolfpack, who led the nation in field goal per-centage for much of the season, shot only 37.7 percent (20-53) on the eve-ning.

Ju n ior g u a rd Joe Harris led the Wahoos with 22 points and 4 rebounds. Junior for-ward Akil Mitchell had a double-double, tallying 14 points and 12 rebounds, while freshman center Mike Tobey came off the bench and spurred the Cavs with 13 points and seven rebounds, energizing the crowd several times during the con-test.

“Coach (Bennett) has been tell-ing us all week that these guys aren’t that much better than us,” Tobey said. “They’re pretty tall, but being a seven-footer, I definitely have an

advantage.”Things started off well for N.C.

State in the first half. The Pack jumped to an early 17-7 lead in the opening 11 minutes and was ahead

of the Cavaliers the entire first half. Virginia methodically came back,

and took its first lead of the game at

UVA continued page 7

Daniel WilsonStaff Writer

After losing to the Vanderbilt Commodores in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl on New Year’s Eve, N.C. State’s seniors left Wolfpack football to pursue graduate school or dive straight into the working class.

For five of the football players that earned their degrees, the end of their story as a member of the Wolfpack marked the begin-ning of their tales in the National Football League. These stories began earlier than anticipated as the players were selected to participate in exhibition games following the bowl season.

St. Petersburg, Fla. is the first stop for safeties Earl Wolff and Brandon Bishop. The secondary duo was selected to represent the Pack as members of the East-ern All-Stars in the East-West Shrine Game, the longest run-ning college all-star game in the country, on Jan. 19. Both players were coached by former Houston Oilers and Atlanta Falcons head coach Jerry Glanville.

While both safeties played in the game, it was Wolff who made one of the key plays of the con-test. With four minutes remain-ing in the game, the Western All-Stars were looking to increase its 18-point lead with Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege behind center.

On third-and-3 on the East’s 12-yard line, Doege threw to the back of the end zone, looking for Mississippi State wide receiver Chad Bumphis. Wolff managed to get in front of Bumphis, inter-cept the pass and run out of the back of the end zone, resulting in a touchback.

The Eastern All-Stars used this

momentum to drive down the field on the ensuing possession, which resulted in a field goal from Florida kicker Caleb Sturgis. The West ran out the clock following Sturgis’ failed onside kick attempt and came away with the win, 28-13.

While Bishop and Wolff were on the same team in the Shrine Game, on Jan. 19, offensive guard R.J. Mattes and defensive end Brian Slay were on opposing forces for the National Foot-ball League Play-ers Associat ion Collegiate Bowl in Los Angeles, Calif. Mattes played on the National team while Slay partici-pated as part of the American team. Slay recorded two tackles and a pass def lection, yet Mattes and the National team were on the winning side as the National team prevailed, 34-0.

Quarterback Mike Glennon, one of the top quarterback prospects in the NFL Draft, traveled to Mo-bile, Ala. to compete in the Senior Bowl as the starter for the Northern All-Stars on Jan. 26. Despite being projected as the first quarterback to be picked in the Draft, Glennon struggled early, completing only four of eight passes for 26 yards on two drives that both stalled out.

At the beginning of the third

quarter, Glennon helped engineer the North’s first scoring drive of the game, completing all three of his passes for 34 yards and a one-yard third down conversion on the ground. UCLA running back Johna-than Franklin scored on a 20-yard run to finish the drive.

Glennon’s final drive of the game started strong as he connected with Western Kentucky tight end Jack Doyle for a 22-yard gain following

a 10-yard hold-ing penalty, but the drive quickly stalled after two incomplete passes from Glennon. The North had to settle for a 42-yard field goal by Oklahoma

State placekicker Quinn Sharp.Glennon finished the game going

8-for-16 for 82 yards. Glennon’s counterpart, Florida State quarter-back E.J. Manuel, led the Southern team with seven completions for 76 yards, a touchdown and an intercep-tion as the South came away with the victory, 21-16.

With the draft less than three months away, the players will have to make a lasting impression on all of the NFL teams, especially dur-ing the NFL scouting combine. The week-long combine starts on Feb. 20 and lasts until Feb. 26.

COMMENTARY

Head women’s basketball coach Kellie Harper followed one of the

most iconic sports figures in sports history — former head women’s basketball coach Kay Yow.

Yow reached the NCAA tour-nament 21 times and had 20 teams finish the season in the top-25 Associated Press rank-ings. Harper had big shoes to fill

from the get-go.In her f irst

season, the team finished 20-14, 7-7 in Atlantic Coast Confer-ence play and r e a c h e d t h e NCAA tourna-ment, the only time Harper has

reached the 20-win plateau and clinched a spot in the big dance while at N.C. State. But that squad was inherited from Yow’s recruiting and coaching contri-butions.

Through four years at the helm of the women’s basketball pro-gram, Harper has a 63-58 record, 18-35 in ACC play. Yow finished 96-22 in her first four years with State—each team finishing in the AP top-15 rankings and clinched a berth in the Associa-tion for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women tournament.

This season through 21 games, the team is 10-11 and 2-7 in the ACC.

The slogan for this season’s women’s program is “our time.” The pregame routine includes the slogan, there are commer-cials on the team website with the phrase, but nothing the team has accomplished this season,

Harper may

be on thin ice
