Camp Out for CarolinaBrandon Pettway | Events Writer

On January 15, 2010, the university held its tradi-tional “NC State Camp-out.” I joined over 2000 of my fellow peers as we camped out in hopes of receiving a ticket to the home basketball game where we will face one of our biggest rivals, the UNC Tar Heels. Before today’s advancements in technology such as the Internet, students had to stand outside of Reynold’s Coliseum on game day to receive a ticket. Since this was one of the most anticipated games, student began camping out in tents outside of the coliseum the night before tickets are distributed, so that they had a better chance of receiving one. After this oc-curred student government (the organization in charge of ticket distribution) felt that rules and regulations were needed to prevent students more accountable. This is how the idea of check-points came along where at certain times within the night students had to check-in and a certain percent of each group had to be present. The re-cord number of students in a camp-out within

one year was set in 2008 where approximately 3200 students registered.

Although students did not break the record this year, the tradition was still upheld strongly. Starting at 7:30 PM as you walked past the uni-versity bookstore towards Reynold’s Coliseum, tents lined the edge of the forest line between Central and North campus. There was a camara-derie among the student population that I my-self had never seen before. Hundreds of students filled Dunn Avenue as they played games such as corn-hole, ultimate frisbee, and football. Many students also assisted in helping many of the first time campers put up their tents.

Some of the events that went on during the camp-out were 3 on 3 basketball games and also mini games inside Reynold’s Coliseum, where prizes such as t-shirts were given away. This year students were lucky because the Union Activi-ties Board (UAB) also held the annual All Night Bash on the same night as the Camp-out, which meant that students had even more events that they were able to attend within the night.

Do We Take Political Differences Too Far?

CJ Guion | Opinions Writer

In the wake of the Tucson, Arizona shootings a couple of weeks ago, former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin has been under fire for an image, which she previously posted on Facebook featur-ing cross-hairs on the district of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Giffords was shot by a gunmen during a public meeting with constituents on January 8, 2011. The map, which appeared on Facebook in March 2010, detailed 20 democratic districts, which voted for the health care bill previously held by Republicans in 2008. In addition to the map the former governor strategically placed a quote “Don’t Retreat, Instead Reload.” Follow-ing the shooting, Pima County Sheriff Clar-ence Dupnik surprised many viewers on televi-sion when he made a plea for political figures to tone down the words they choose to use during speeches and campaigns. Arizona has been a state that has faced much criticism in the past

couple of years from several decisions that have been made, primarily the tough immigration law SB 1070 that was passed in April of 2010. How-ever, many officials believe that politics was not a driving factor of the actions of the gunmen, but one must ask if American citizens and leaders sometime take political affiliations too seriously?

One of the biggest issues on the table this very moment in the United States is bullying. Many students around the world from lower level grades all the way up to college are taking their own lives after being victims of bullying. What message are we sending to the youth of tomorrow when we have the leaders of the na-tion acting in the same immature matters which we are trying to fix in the public school system? The kids of tomorrow watch and listen to ev-erything that they hear in their households and things that we say can have a serious impact on the way in which they view the world. At the end of the day, the leaders, which are chosen to serve in our political offices, are there to debate political agendas and not further personal ven-dettas. While there is the right in America to be able to say what we want, we also have a brain

which tells us that there are some words which should never be spoken. The truth of the matter is that everyone in this country can’t take words for just that. Every person is not stable enough to know that political figures are not encourag-ing them to actually reload their guns and take action in their own hands. Sometimes the things we say hurt more than things we do. For every action there is a reaction. Sometimes the reaction is violence. In some cases it appears that there are people who genuinely hate politicians of oppos-ing sides. Not only do they seem to disagree with their views on issues, they appear to hate them as people. We must learn how to keep our dif-ferences of opinions at just that. We must realize that the words which we utter from our mouth sometimes come at a cost.

If we continue to accept violent speech and violent actions the cycle will continue to hinder us for years to come and it will become a never ending cycle. It seems that the only time we find the time to unite as a country is when tragedy strikes. We come together for a couple of weeks and then we go back to our individuals lives as if nothing ever happened until the next one.

inspirational quote of the week

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his indi-vidualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

-DR MARTIN LUTHER KING JR

MATE MASIE“what I hear, I keep”

A symbol of the wisdom, knowledge, and prudence. The implied meaning of the phrase “mate masie” is “I under-

stand”. Understanding means wisdom and knowledge, but it also represents the prudence of taking into consider-

ation what another person has said.

Last week on January 12, 2011, was the one year anniversary of the dev-astating Haitian earth-quake that killed 250,000 people and left the coun-try in shambles. Initially, there were fifty countries including the United States that pledged over $6 billion to reconstruct and rebuild the country.

After billions of dollars promised and pledged to this country, with a 12,000 United Nations peacekeeping team, and an army of relief worker from around the world, Haiti looks the same as after the quake. There is debris around the city, and one million homeless people live in tent camps and are terrorized by rape gangs.

Due to the earthquake a cholera outbreak has killed 1,350 people and 57,000 are infected with the sickness. It is estimated in the coming months that the scale of the Haitian cholera epidemic will spread to 200,000 people and the death toll will increase. The World Health Organization (WHO) says the epidemic will increase due to dirty water, poor sanitation, no toilets, malnutrition, and poor access to health centers.

The major question that many around the world are asking, “where is the money and where is the leadership of this relief effort?” The Hai-tian government is not equipped to handle the coordination of relief efforts and the international community is not stepping up.

Nearly a year after the Haitian earthquake, only 5 percent

of the rubble has been cleared, only 15 percent of the temporary hous-ing that is needed has been built and relatively few permanent water and sanitation facilities have been constructed. But Nigel Fisher, deputy U.N. special represen-tative is quoted as say-ing that the immediate objectives agreed upon within the month after the earthquake on Janu-ary 12, 2010 had been largely met.

S o m e w h e r e there is a disconnect with

the Haitian community when a leader thinks that they are hitting their targets after they have received billion of dollars to rebuild the country. The United States announced that it would give Haiti $1.15 billion for reconstruction, but only $120 million of the promised funds have arrived. Another $500 million is being held up in committees and legislative bureaucracy.

There are also 49 charities through fundraising that have re-ceived billions of dollars and many have only spent 3 percent of the money on their programs in Haiti. There is a need for an international impartial agency to determine what happened to the money. Children and families have been devastated by the earthquake and they need assistance now.

Many of these charities say they will be using their donations for long term projects. Nevertheless one year after the earthquake the situation has deteriorated and the conditions are deplorable and the people continue to die.

This afternoon members of the Eta Omicron Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. will be hosting a silent candlelight vigil march at 4:30 PM in honor of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The annual event is a time for students and staff to join together to think about the sacrifices made to this country by Dr. King in order for the citizens of the United States of America to enjoy the luxuries of equal rights and liberties. Dr. King was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha.

The march will commence at the NC State Belltower and conclude at Riddick Hall. The theme of the event is based on the question “Are We Really Living the Dream.” Tyrik Hicks, a Senior in Chemical Engineering and member of the fraternity said that the main purpose of the event was “ to celebrate the life and and contributions of the prominent African American leader and brother, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.” Furthermore he said that “it was a time to remember his life and truly reflect on the progress in living out Dr. King’s vision as a community.” The hope is that participants will take the time to reflect their lives and truly envision in their minds that they are truly living the dream. According to Hicks, self reflection is the driving force and meaning of this event. The main questions in which they wish for participants to answer after the march is whether they are living the dream the way Dr. King would have wanted them to, and whether the community as a whole is working together and living in unity for the betterment of all? This is a tradition which the Eta Omicron Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. has been celebrating for over a decade.

At the conclusion of the event there will be a brief discussion and reception held in Riddick Hall as participants share their thoughts and feelings about Dr. King as well as the march. This is one of the many events that have taken place over the holiday in the Triangle area. Dr. King once said “Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”

CJ Guion | News Writer It appears that the world was so stuck on the is-sue of whether weed would legalized in Califor-nia that they did little to mention that banning Affirmative Action was up for grabs in Arizona. After the mid-term elections were over and the ballots were counted, it was announced that vot-ers in Arizona helped the state pass a law entitled Proposition 107, which bans Affirmative Action. This ban has been enacted in other states such as California, Michigan, Nebraska, and Wash-ington State. Colorado is the only state where voters have denied an amendment such as this when they were able to vote for it. Sources say that after the ban was put in place in Califor-nia and Michigan, admission rates of African Americans and Hispanics decreased. It is said that admissions to schools in those states are re-ally competitive. Afterward, initiatives were put into place to make sure the schools were more race neutral when it came to admissions. Arizona has a populist approach, which allows them to select students who meet a certain criteria, mak-ing the adjustment to Proposition 107 a smooth transition.

The decision to put Proposition 107 on the ballot was spearheaded by the American Civil Rights Committee, a Sacramento political ac-tion group directed by Ward Connelly. Arizona received thousands of dollars in support from the group. An Asian political blogger described the group as one “whose members have spent the last two decades traveling from state to state trying to enact harmful, discriminatory laws under the guise of equality.” One of the main state senators,

Russell Pearce (R-AZ) who pushed for the An-ti-Affirmative Action as well as the elimination of ethnic studies was the one who introduced SB-1070, which is an Anti-Immigration law. He was featured on radio stations endorsing the law. Opponents of the proposition included Jeffrey F. Milem, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the University of Arizona, who argued that the amendment was “purposely misleading” and that it was “indirect conflict” with previous Supreme Court decisions. He also believes that the most profound affect of the proposition would be on graduate and professional education. The presi-dent of the university, Robert Shelton vowed in September that if the action passed, he would find new ways to recruit diverse students. Joe Thomas, Vice President of the Arizona Educa-tion Association wrote that Prop. 107 is an “anti-equal opportunity measure.” Voters in Oklahoma voted on an amendment that would make Eng-lish the official language of the state. This means that no state or government agency shall be re-quired nor prohibited official documents in any language other than English. Furthermore, offi-cial state actions must be in English.

Only time will tell what this means for minori-ties and immigrants living within and migrating to the United States of America. Many people believe that we are truly in a “post racial”society where we live and thrive on an equal playing field. This theory was backed by the election of Presi-dent Obama in November 2008. Whether this belief is true remains to be seen, but just know that Affirmative Action is likely off the table in Arizona and you must know how to speak Eng-lish when you go to Oklahoma.

Each year various television shows are pulled from the airways and never see the light of day again, after suffering from lackluster ratings and poorly written scripts. Two years ago one show that faced the same predicament was a sitcom by the name of “The Game.”

This fictional sitcom follows the lives of three African American professional foot-ball players of the San Diego Sabers and the women, or “Sunbeams” in their lives. It was abruptly ended by the CW Network on May 20, 2009. Shortly after, many fans showcased their disapproval through the use of petitions and fan groups on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. This was followed by rumors that BET was interested in reviving the show, which was airing in syndication on the network. After months of speculation it almost seemed like this was an impossible dream that would never come true. How-ever, that dream is now a reality, and 7.7 million televisions nationwide were tuned in after the show made its return. In many locations around the world many fans held viewing parties in anticipation of the re-turn.

The show picked up two years later from the time that it ended and things are no lon-ger peaceful in the city of San Diego. Many of the characters, which the world came to love, were transformed in some cases into totally different people. What was once a happy loving comedy show seemed to transform into an hour long black version of a soap opera. The big changes that came from the two year hiatus received mixed re-views from fans around the world. Some fans liked the new risqué, late night version of the show, which featured one of the characters smoking and anoth-er involved in a compromising situation in the restroom, while others want to see the show return to its former family oriented format.

Main star Derwin Davis (Marion “Pooch” Hall), the former rookie player of the San Diego Sabers, has become the franchise player and face of Nike after being hindered by injuries and romance issues in the previous season. Co-star Melanie B. Davis (Tia Mowry Hardict) is no longer in medical school, is happily married but jeaing econom-ic stimulus package” Derwinlous of her new stepson. Tasha Mack (Wendy Raquel Robinson) is managing the “one man ball catch Da-vis, no longer dating Rick Fox, and has moved onto mountain lion status by dating a much younger Dante (Terrence J of 106 & Park). Malik Wright (Hosea Chanchez) is having an affair with the owner of the San Diego Saber’s wife (Meagan Good) , facing a downward spiral after being demoted to second string and is no longer under the thumb of his mother Tasha. Veteran football team captain Jason Pitts (Coby Bell) is treading on thin ice and is very close to being

fired from the team due to his old age. Kelly Pitts (Brittany Daniel) the ex-wife of Jason is now the star of a reality show and enjoying the luxuries of spousal support after being forced into a frugal lifestyle of knockoffs by her ex.

Only time will tell the direction in which the writers and directors are taking this show. One thing that can be said is that “The Game” made history on Tuesday night returning from the dead and scoring big ratings securing a spot as the #2 show in BET history and the most watched show on network and cable television of 18-34 year olds that night. According to the New York Times, it was the most watched sitcom in the history of cable television. Only few televi-sion shows have had the privilege of coming back after cancellation. The executives at the CW may be seeking to fire their President in the coming months if the trend continues due to the matter that the show they cancelled garnered 4 million more viewers than the highest rated show (Vampire Diaries – 3.7 million viewers) on the network.

On Wednesday evening, January 12, 2011, in front of thousands on the campus of the Univer-sity of Arizona in Tucson, and millions on tele-vision, President Obama eulogized the victims of the horrific massacre with a speech that en-ergized Americans with compassion and moral imagination. All presidents in their role as the “head of the state” are called on during times of crisis and tragedy to be a uniting force for the country. This was a time when our country need-ed leadership and our president delivered.

Great orators are able to use a tragic situation and turn it into a divine and spiritual incident that is a teachable moment. All African-Amer-ican preachers have the ability to make a som-ber experience a joyful home-going celebration. On Wednesday evening, President Obama took a page out of the Black experience and taught a greater power has the answer.

“Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let’s use this occasion to expand our mor-al imagination,” Obama said. The president in his speech acknowledged that there is evil and there are people who are mentally unstable, but as Americans, we are resilient and we have the moral stamina to be better. By using our moral imagination, we have the ability to rise above our setbacks.

As the president spoke, everyone who was lis-tening was involved with the process of reflec-tion. Everyone is aware of the intense polariza-tion and anger that is demonstrated everyday between the Democrats and the Republicans. The dysfunctional political discourse between the conservatives and the liberals has everyone scared to say what they truly believe.

Lately the political rhetoric has become ugly, but the president encouraged those listening to communicate with more civility in our public

discourse. President Obama believes that “the forces that divide are not as strong as the forces that unite us.”

The president was adamant that no one will ever know what led to the unsuccessful at-tempted assassination of Congresswoman Ga-brielle Giffords, the murder of six people and the shooting of 13 others. But we all are Americans and everyday our legislators are working to make a more perfect union. There is a multiplicity of problems confronting our country but we must never forget the values that make us great.

“At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized, at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who think differently than we do, it is important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each oth-er in a way that heals, not a way that wounds.”

If ever there was a need for hope, unity, and compassion, President Obama during the Tuc-son memorial speech joined together and pulled together our country, and we became one. He shared personal notes about all of those who died in the shooting. But the part of the speech that struck an emotional chord with me was when he talked about 9 year-old Christina Taylor Green.

Christina Green was completely innocent and she saw the world from the eyes of a child. There was wonder in her eyes and her world was filled with dreams, and she was born on September 11, 2001, and she believed in the American dream.

Here is what President Obama had to say about Cristina Green: “I want us to live up to her expectations. I want our democracy to be as good as she imagined it. If there are rain puddles in heaven, Christina is jumping in them today.”

Every American who attended or listened to the memorial service now understands that we all have to do a better job at loving each other.

While the 2011 spring semester is not even in full swing yet, students are already looking ahead to the upcoming fall semester. These students are trying to make the decision on whether or not to continue living on campus, or partake in the joy ride that is known as off-campus living. For some, the decision is easy to make. Why would anyone want to continue living in a cramped up dorm room, with a roommate whose feet smells like a combination of sour milk and corn chips? While for others the thought of signing a lease is even more repulsing than the little bits of food that their suitemate leaves in the sink when she cleans her braces out every night. Contrary to what one may think, there are pros and cons to both living arrangements.

Obviously, one of the biggest cons (for some) of living on campus is having a roommate. While in some instances roommates get along, and can even turn out to be lifelong friends, we’ve all heard (and maybe even experienced) the horror stories. If your nightmares include coming back to your dorm room to find your roommates dirty laundry strewn across your bed, or being kept awake by your roommates loud and obnoxious phone calls, then possibly off campus living could be better suited to you. The univer-sity on the other hand, does try to accommodate students and assign them living quarters that are best suited to them. The housing application en-tails of questions about your study preferences, sleeping habits, and other questions to help en-sure that one will be most satisfied with their as-signment. Also, if you and your assigned room-mate turn out to be completely incompatible, you can apply for a housing change. You are also able to request a certain roommate if you already have a particular person in mind.

Despite the inconvenience of having a roommate, living on campus gives students an overall convenience that cannot be attained liv-ing off campus, which is a definite pro. Classes are within walking distance, as is the library, gym, and dinning halls. You don’t have to deal with the constant stress of trying to find a park every time you get ready to come on to campus, also while the meals may not be exactly like mom’s home cooking, students do not have to worry about cooking dinner, or going grocery shopping as there are many places on campus to eat. On those mornings when you hit the snooze button one too many times and when you finally wake up and realize you have 15 minutes to make it to class before receiving a “0” on your midterm, you are able to slide out of your bed, rush from your dorm and be in class in 14 minutes exactly. How-ever, living off campus by the time you make it through early morning Raleigh traffic and find a park, http://www.dawn.com/wp-content/gallery/haiti-earthquake-one-year-later/haiti-earthquake-anni-1.gif you’re 15 minutes too late.

Those students that prefer off-campus living typically agree in saying that one of the biggest pros of off-campus living is privacy and fewer distractions. Off-campus living allows stu-dents to close themselves off from friends and other distractions without trudging across cam-pus to the library, or without being disturbed by a noisy roommate, or rowdy suitemates. Students do not have to lock valuables away in a trunk, nor do they have to comply with guidelines set by university housing.

On-campus or off-campus, the debate will forever live on. What works for one person may not work for another person. That being said, when considering your housing options, be sure to weigh the pros and cons of both sides and choose the option that is best for you.

To Live on Campus or Not to Live on Campus, That is the Question

11:30 PM most student transitioned to Talley to take part in many of the activities that UAB had set up. There were all types of activities from karaoke to board games to a steel drum player. Karaoke seemed to be one of the bigger hits for the night. Students sang songs from N-SYNC and Destiny’s Child. Around 2:00 AM students proceeded to exit Talley and they lined up for one of the final check-ins of the night.

The final event of the night was a movie hosted by UAB in front of Talley. The movie chosen this year was “Cool Runnings.” Many students watched the movie while others headed to their tents and spent quality time with their group. Instead of sleeping, most groups stayed up and talked to friends. Some groups such as mine had very loud singalongs where they sung some of today’s hottest R&B.

At about 6:00 AM many students proceeded to go and get Krispy Kreme donuts that were being handed out and then they began to pack up their tents and belongings. Final check-out began at 7:00 AM and it marked the end of NC State’s annual Camp-out. No matter how cold it seemed to get that night, most students believed that it was one of the memorable events they will partake in during their college experience.
