After the proposition’s hearing, Ted Olson, the former solicitor gen- eral, and David Boies, an attorney, stood next to the couple involved in the case and referred to their argu- ment as “a very thoughtful hearing.” “The court never gives you an idea of how they’re going to decide and they didn’t today,” Olson said. “We don’t know for sure what the United States Supreme Court is going to do, but we’re very, very gratified that they listened, they heard, they asked hard questions, and there’s no deny- ing where the right is and we hope that the Supreme Court will come out in that way when they make this decision in June.” The Defense of Marriage Act, a United States federal law, defines marriage as a legal union between a man and a woman for federal and interstate recognition purposes.

Groups of GLBT allies assembled for a vigil on the grounds of the Wake County Court House Tues-day night.

Although N.C. State’s men’s bas-ketball team may have suffered a first round defeat in the NCAA tournament, the University will not desert the spirit of March Madness anytime soon.

Startup Madness is a competition that seeks the best and brightest en-trepreneurial minds at the univer-sity level, and seeks to expose them to new and exciting ventures in a tournament fashion.

Harnessing the power of procrastinationBrittany BynumStaff Writer

Ph.D. students, known for work-ing hard to be experts in their re-spective fields, have another super power that may be the driving force behind their success — procrasti-nation.

Jorge Cham, creator of and writer for PHD comics, visited N.C. State to speak about the power of pro-crastination in Hunt Library Au-ditorium Tuesday evening as a part of the “Leadership in Technology” Executive Speaker Series.

“I’m sure you would rather be in the lab, but instead you are here pro-crastinating,” Cham said.

THROUGH KATHERINE’S LENS

Make it rain

Ph.D. student in Crop Science Amanda McWhirt waters transplants for the Advanced Agroecology (CS 430) class in the Fox Labs greenhouse on March 14. Agroecology is a discipline that focuses on the ecological processes in agricultural systems and how to make agricultural production more sustainable. As part of

CS 430 students are split into pairs who are each given a 20x30 plot on the Agroecology Educational Farm on Lake Wheeler Rd. They are required to design their plots in any way they choose, prepare transplants, plant the transplants on the farm when they are ready and care for their plants. This semester the class has teamed up with University Dining and will be providing some of the food for the All Carolinas Meal in the fall.

said in an interview with the University.

Representing N.C. State at the graduate level is the team PlasmaGro, a company specializing in sustainable, onsite and on-demand production of nitrogen fertilizer for use in commercial agricul-ture. Team members are in the entrepreneurship and technology commer-cialization concentration in the N.C. State Poole College of Management’s

Jenkins MBA program. The team members are: Kellet At-kinson, Wahyudi Gunawan, Eko Prasetaiwan and Ramin Shahriari.

Scott Kelly, the organizer of Startup Madness, said the judging process will be held to three criteria.

“The first is [the] ability to present [the idea],” Kelly said. “The second is how big your project is, what kind of impact you’re going to have on the world, and the last one is your ability to execute your idea successfully.”

The winner of the competi-tion will travel to Silicon Val-ley to dine and network with corporate leaders at Facebook

and Kleiner Perkins, a venture capital firm.

Teams will attend a wel-coming event at HUB Ra-leigh the evening of March 26, and the bracket-style compet it ion rou nd s will be held throughout the day on Wednesday, March 27. The public is invited to view the team presentations. Semi-finals will be held from 10 a.m. to noon, and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The Final Four teams will compete at 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

“I have come to believe that if two people are pre-pared to make a lifetime commitment to love and care for each other in good

leadership experiences with students,” Tate said. “The problem was that the CEO of a company might be ad-dressing only 12-15 students.”

With its move to Centen-nial Campus, the depart-ment shelved the course for a couple years waiting for an-other opportunity. That op-portunity came when Fidel-ity Investments announced a major facility in Research Triangle Park and a desire to partner with the department to build strong brand aware-ness through a partnership.

The course was taken off the shelf, repackaged

and redeployed as the Fidel-ity Investments “Leadership in Technology” Executive Speakers Series in 2007, and was launched as part of the computer science depart-ment’s 40th anniversary cel-ebration.

Fidelity Investments spon-sored the Leadership in Tech-nology Executive Speakers Series where Cham was the speaker of the night.

The purpose of the series is to provide students of all disciplines, as well as the ex-tended university and busi-ness community, exposure to the unique world of leader-ship in technology.

Geeks have trouble with womenJessica HatcherStaff Writer

For those who believe women are best left cooking, cleaning and staying chaste, validation lies in films from the ‘50s and ‘60s.

In celebration of National Women’s History month, the A/V Geeks, in conjunc-tion with NCSU Libraries, screened a series of short films concerning the role of women in the D.H. Hill Au-ditorium Tuesday afternoon.

The A/V Geeks are a group of Raleigh-based film aficio-nados who salvage and pres-ent original videos on 16 mm film.

Sk ip E l shei mer, A / V Geeks founder and alum-nus, screened “The Trouble with Women,” “More Dates for Kay,” “Psychological Dif-ferences Between the Sexes,” “The Story of Menstruation” and “Are You Popular?”

“[The films offer] a fasci-nating look at the past. When you first see the films you laugh, and then you think it’s actually very interesting,” Elsheimer said. “It’s our his-tory. This is where our par-ents and grandparents come from. All of the things we see today are influenced by these films.”

The film after which the program was named, “The Trouble with Women,” was something that was devel-oped to show to managers and supervisors in factories. The film was from a series

called “Plant Supervisors Problems.”

In the film, a manager is upset that he keeps getting female employees because they miss work or get married and leave the factory. His boss explains to him that women are just as capable, if not more capable, to work as men, and problems like absenteeism are “all part of life.”

“I think some of them will be surprised at how women in the workplace were perceived. It has always been accepted that women are profession-als. The films are kind of funny, but these are serious issues,” said Marian Fragola, the director of program plan-ning and outreach for NCSU libraries.

The first film, “Are You Popular?” implied that it was shameful for young women to go on dates with multiple men at the same time. One young woman dates multiple men and consequently is not allowed to sit with a group of students at school.

In the film, the main char-acter goes on a date. A narra-tor explains that her date likes her because she is “attractive, dresses well, is friendly with everyone and is considerate of other people.”

Elsheimer explained to the viewers that parents were very concerned about their daughters dating because they did not want them to get into serious relationships and engage in sexual activities at a young age.

“More Dates for Kay” re-vealed “friendliness, interest and helpfulness were what re-ally counted” when it came to getting dates. One girl offers to make sandwiches for some guys, clean up after a party and help others with home-work to get a date.

“The Story of Menstrua-tion” was an informational f ilm produced by Disney intended for teaching young girls about puberty.

One woman in the audience said she had seen this film as a child at a Girl Scouts meeting. A man had come to set up the film, but he was not allowed to start it, she said.

“It’s interesting to see how this information is being re-layed now and to see how far we’ve come, said Elsheimer.

“Psychological Difference Between the Sexes” illus-trated that physical strength, attitudes and temperaments were what made women and men different. Females always handled situations indirectly and subtly, per-sonalized comments, placed importance on romance, and were generally “touchy.”

“I really liked the f ilm about the psychological dif-ferences because it showed that some things don’t really change. Girls still chatter on

and worry about what other people think about them. It’s funny,” Sakshi Handa, a sophomore in biological en-gineering, said.

Elsheimer said women typically watched films like “Psychological Differences Between the Sexes” before getting married. They also trained in home economics.

Elsheimer said that he be-lieved people, not just wom-en, should still learn the skills that women used to be taught in home economics.

“I had no idea that home-ec even existed or that it used to be a real major,” Alexey Bondarev, a freshman in ma-

terial science and engineer-ing, said.

The audience laughed at some of the out-of-date les-sons the films had to offer.

“It’s interesting that what they would take seriously in the ‘50s is hysterical to us now. It’s also interesting to see the progression of wom-en. Males and females are now equal,” Danny Long, a freshman in mechanical en-gineering, said.

At this time of year when we celebrate Earth Day, Easter, Mahavir, Jayanti, Passover, Ridvan, Theravadin, Ugadi, Vaisakhi, and other special days, we’re reminded that North Carolina State University is known as the “People’s University,” where we seek to recognize the legitimacy of the many faiths, non-faiths, and philosophies of our campus community and the respective rights of all to practice their individual traditions peacefully.

As members of the University community, we celebrate this season with a

among students, faculty, staff, administration, and other people of the campus community of different faiths and non-faiths, and we hope to work together to create shared programs and activities that give witness to our common values and ideals.

In keeping with our belief in the sacredness of humanity, we commit to fostering a campus culture where all people are treated fairly, valued for their differences, and given equal opportunities to maximize their human potential and well-being, while respecting and upholding their individual spirituality. In doing so, we seek to create a dialogue among all faith and non-faith tradi-tions to increase understanding and mutual support of our common mission to serve the university community and the greater good.

“My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.” - Desmond Tutu

La noche del sábado ante-rior, las mujeres del capítulo de la hermandad, Lambda Pi Chi, celebró su 10mo aniver-sario, como la primera her-mandad latina de mujeres.

Durante el banquete, que tomó lugar en el cuarto Washington Sankofa del Cen-tro Estudiantil Witherspoon, los miembros actuales expre-saron su agradecimiento por las seis mujeres que fundaron el capítulo Rho de Lambda Pi Chi hace diez años.

Las hermanas Jennifer Bollman, una alumna del cu-arto año en comunicación, y Brittney García, una alumna del cuarto año en estudios in-ternacionales, presentaron el evento que destacó los prin-cipios de Latinas Promovi-endo Comunidad: la comu-nidad, la cultura latina y la hermandad.

Dos presentaciones de vid-eo reflejaron la dedicación de Lambda Pi Chi a la comuni-dad de N.C. State. Montajes de fotos representaron la his-toria rica de servicio comu-

nitario y empoderamiento femenina.

El grupo de danza latina, Sube Ritmo, presentó ren-dimientos de salsa, merengue y bachata.

Los miembros que funda-ron la hermandad represen-taron el lema de“La herman-dad nunca termina” mientras viajaba de todos rincones del país para reunir.

Andrea Duhon, una her-mana fundadora, habló del sentimiento de la herman-dad en la organización, y dijo que, “No siempre tenemos la oportunidad de ver uno a otro, pero cuando reuni-mos, me parece que nunca nos hemos ido. Esta unión que hemos creado dura por toda la vida.”

Los miembros fundadores vistieron su lema extendido fuera de su propia herman-dad de mujeres por la inter-acción con una nueva her-mandad de mujeres asiática, Kappa Phi Lambda.

“Esta noche, los miembros de la hermandad de mujeres asiáticas se reunieron con nosotros y se mencionó lo emocionadas que estaban

para quedarse en el campus, y afirmó que nuestra visión extiende más allá de la co-munidad latina y transcendió en la comunidad general de Carolina del Norte,” dijo Irene Godíndez, una her-mana fundadora.

Duhon continuó a en-fatizar la significancia de la fundación de la hermandad de mujeres, notando que la ocasión coincidió con el es-tablecimiento de Mi Familia y la génisis de más grupos latinos vocacionales.

“Somos un gran grupo de chicas que querían algo que nos pertenecía, y estamos tratando de encontrar la avenida para realizarlo,” dijo Duhon. “Es emocionante ver cómo las cosas se han desar-rollado en la Universidad y cuánta voz la hermandad de mujeres tiene ahora.”

Saturday evening the Rho chapter of Lambda Pi Chi cel-ebrated its 10th anniversary as N.C. State’s first Latina sorority.

During a banquet held in the Washington Sankofa Room of Witherspoon Stu-dent Center, current soror-ity members expressed their gratitude for the six women who founded the Rho chapter of Lambda Pi Chi ten years ago.

Emceed by hermanas Jen-nifer Bollman, a senior in communication, and Brittney Garcia, a senior majoring in international studies, the event highlighted the princi-ples of Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad: la comunidad, la cultura latina and la her-mandad.

Two video presentations ref lected Lambda Pi Chi’s dedication to la community of N.C. State. Photo montages set to grandiose classical mu-sic depicted a rich history of community service and fe-male empowerment.

Exemplifying the spirit of

la cultura latina, the sorority presented Sube Ritmo, N.C. State’s Latin dance team, who performed a blend of salsa, merengue and bachata.

The founding members in attendance embodied the so-rority’s motto of “La herman-dad nunca termina – Sibling-hood never ends,” as many traveled across the country to gather Saturday evening.

Founding hermana Andrea Duhon spoke of the strong sense of la hermandad in the sorority, noting that, “We don’t always get to see each other, but whenever we come back together it feels like we’ve never left; the bond that we formed is truly for a lifetime.”

At the event the founding members saw their legacy ex-tended outside of their own sorority through interaction with the newly established Asian sorority Kappa Phi Lambda.

“Tonight, the Asian Greek sorority came up to us and mentioned how excited they were to now be on campus, it

affirmed that our vision went beyond the Latino commu-nity and transcended into the broader North Carolina community,” said founding hermana Irene Godíndez.

Duhon went on to empha-size the timely significance of the sorority’s foundation, noting that it coincided with the establishment of Mi Fa-milia and the genesis of a more vocal Latin community on campus.

“We were a big group of kids who wanted to have something that belonged to us, and we were trying to find an avenue to do it,” said Duhon. “It’s exciting to see how things have developed at the University and how much of a voice the sorority has now.”

The event took place in conjunction with a presen-tation by Javier León Padilla of Alliance of AIDS Services Carolina. Proceeds from the event were donated to benefit the organization’s outposts in Raleigh.

Toda la gente sabe que la comida más rica sale durante los días de fiesta, y para los ecuatorianos no es diferente. Hay la colada morada y las guaguas de pan, los dos que se sirven para el Día de los Muertos, los pristiños con miel de naranjilla para la Navidad, y la fanesca para la Semana Santa.

La fanesca es el plato fuerte servido durante la Semana

Santa, pero también se of-rece con algunos otros platos igualmente conocidos como típicos durante estas fechas. Se sirve primero un rico molo (la versión ecuatoriana del conocido puré de papa), luego una sabrosa sopa lla-mada fanesca, y se termina la comida con un delicioso arroz con leche o dulce de higos como postres.

El primer plato, molo, consiste en un puré de papa preparado con condimentos, que se sirve sobre una hoja de

lechuga y adornado con roda-jas de huevo duro, cebolla y un pedazo de queso.

Luego sigue el plato fuerte, la fanesca, la cual se prepara con varios días de antici-pación y con la participación de toda la familia. Se empieza por pelar y cocinar cada uno de los 12 ingredientes por separado. Los ingredientes incluyen chochos, habas, len-tejas, frejoles, choclos, arroz, alverja, maní, col, mellocos, sambo y zapallo. Luego, en la preparación e unión de todos

los ingredientes se usa leche, crema, queso, mantequilla y varios condimentos. Como toque final, al momento de servir se le pone bacalao (que es un tipo de pescado), perejil, maduritos fritos o masitas de harina. Algunas tradiciones dicen que los 12 ingredientes representan los 12 apóstoles; en cambio otras dicen que representan las doce tribus de Israel en el antiguo testamento en la Biblia.

Para postre, algunas fa-

milias preparan el arroz con leche, un dulce pudín de ar-roz que incluye pasas y canela en polvo. Otras familias en cambio sirven como último plato los higos en miel de raspadura, con un pedazo de queso.

Como pueden ver, a más de ser un plato sabroso y muy nutritivo lleno de varios in-gredientes, da motivo de una bonita reunión familiar. Lamentablemente no todos de estos ingredientes son fáciles de encontrar aquí en

los Estados Unidos pero se puede usar otros ingredien-tes como remplazo.

Es interesante anotar que se preparan estos platil-los ya que la mayoría de los ecuatorianos son Católicos y ellos no comen carnes ro-jas durante esta semana. Se sirven tradicionalmente a la hora del almuerzo y luego ya no se come nada más hasta el día siguiente si no que se procede a cumplir rituales religiosos propios de la fecha.

Disfruta de la Semana Santa al estilo Ecuatoriano

The N.C. State men’s ten-nis team dominated the Wisconsin Badgers on Tues-day afternoon, winning the contest 7-0.

The match, played in Raleigh, was State’s third straight victory.

“The guys did a good job,” head coach Jon Choboy said. “It was tough conditions out there. It was a little bit on the windy side, not the ideal con-ditions to play outside. But our guys are pretty mentally tough and they’ve played a lot of good teams this year. [Wis-consin] tried to challenge us on some of these courts but we met the challenge pretty well.”

The Wolfpack (10-6, 3-1 ACC) came out of the gates hot and won the doubles point. Senior Dave Thomson and junior Sean Weber, the No. 12 doubles team in the nation, won the No. 1 doubles match by a score of 8-5.

Sophomore Robbie Mudge and freshman Thomas Wei-gel quickly solidified State’s lead, blitzing Wisconsin’s No. 2 doubles team en route to an 8-2 victory.

The news wasn’t all rosy for the Red and White. Sopho-mores Beck Bond and Aus-tin Powell lost their No. 3 doubles match 8-4.

However, State’s wins at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles gave the Wolfpack two wins out of three doubles matches, en-suring N.C. State’s possession of the all-important doubles point. The Wisconsin contest marks the sixth straight con-test in which the Red Terrors have won the doubles point.

“We’ve taken a couple of matches this year without the doubles point, but we’ve lost a couple with it,” Choboy said. “I’d certainly rather have it.”

“I think we’ve got pretty good doubles teams,” Choboy said. “The guys work real hard at it and we spend a lot of time on it at practice. I think we’re doing some pretty good things with the guys for

doubles.” After claiming the doubles

point, the match moved on to singles play and State continued its domination. Mudge, Thom-son, Bond and senior Rafael Paez all regis-tered straight set wins for the Wolfpack.

The straight s e t s s i ng le s w i n s , c om-

bined with the doubles point, made the overall match score 5-0, giving State an insur-mountable lead.

Powell, playing at No. 2 singles, split the first two sets with his opponent and went to a full third set. Pow-ell jumped out to a quick lead and never surrendered the advantage, fighting his way to a victorious 6-2 third set.

Weigel lost the first set of his No. 3 singles match and fought hard to stay alive. At 5-5 in the second set with the game score at deuce, Weigel fired a backhand pass down the line to get a break point opportunity, which he con-verted.

After closing out the second set, Weigel finished his match by winning the third set tie-break and giving State a clean

sweep of singles matches. “I’m pleased to pick up

another win,” head coach John Choboy said. “Obvi-ously a midweek match, it’s a little bit of a chal-lenge. We’ve had a lot of tennis in the last 72 hours with some travel in there for us.”

“It was very nice because our last matches were all pretty tough,” Weigel said. “So it was nice to get a quite easy win today.”

The Wolfpack’s next match will be at home against Florida State on Friday at 2:30 p.m.

Biosensors can be used to detect amino acids in fertil-izers, pathogens in the blood-stream and food supplies, and even molecular markers that appear with the onset of prostate cancer. N.C. State researchers Leslie Sombers and Leyda Lugo-Morales have developed exceptionally sensitive biosensors of their own for studying the brain in real time.

Their biosensors have evolved to the extent that Sombers and Lugo-Morales are using it to study Par-kinson’s disease and diabe-tes. They are doing this by making the first ever mea-surements of rapid glucose fluctuations in the brain and studying how they contribute to neural functions.

“We are trying to figure out the molecular underpinnings

that underlie cognitive de-generation in glucose-related disorders,” Sombers, an as-sistant professor of chemistry, said. “A huge proportion of the population suffers from diabetes, and that number just keeps going up every year…. There are a lot of cognitive disorders associ-ated with the disease.”

Sombers’ and Lugo-Mo-rales’ biosensors consist of an electrode, a tiny carbon fiber, that can be placed in live tissue to measure elec-troactive molecules. These electrodes pass an electric potential through the tissue being studied and measure the current produced by mol-ecules around the electrodes. The amount of current pro-duced directly corresponds to the amount of molecules being studied.

This basic procedure has been done before — however, Sombers and Lugo-Morales

have greatly improved its ac-curacy by using their own voltametric biosensors, as opposed to the amperomet-ric biosensors that have been used traditionally.

Amperometric biosensors only expose the tissue to one specific electrical potential. This gives researchers a single current, and from there they can measure the amount of the molecule of interest, or the analyte.

However, amperometric biosensors can also detect molecules not intended to be studied.

“So you will have a huge signal, but you don’t know which part of the signal comes from the analyte,” Lugo-Morales said. “The problem of amperometry is that it lacks selectivity.”

In order to prevent detec-tion of other molecules, the biosensors have to be coated in several layers of specially-

created membranes.“In principle this works

very well,” Sombers said. “However, it slows things down significantly.”

These membranes decrease the measurement speed of the biosensors, causing measure-ments to take multiple sec-onds — a huge time frame compared to the speed of human mental processes.

“In the brain, events occur very fast – in milliseconds.” Lugo-Morales said. “If you slow down your response at the electrodes you will not be able to collect important information.”

These membranes also of-ten fall off and are difficult to reproduce.

So Sombers and Lugo-Mo-rales set out to find a way to bypass the use of membranes, and came up with their vol-tametric biosensors.

With voltametric biosen-sors, the electric potential

applied to the tissue to is not constant. Instead it is varied and the current is measured at each potential.

“Instead of holding our bio-sensor at one single potential we scan the potentials and collect current while scan-ning,” Sombers said. This variation of potential tells researchers not only how much analyte there is, but what the analyte is and which molecules are mixed with the analyte.

“It’s kind of like a finger-print that tells us what we are looking at,” Sombers said. “And the amount of current that we get tells us how much of the [molecule] there is.”

Moreover, Sombers and Lugo-Morales have upgraded the materials that they use to produce their biosensors.

“Everyone else is basically using tiny little wires, and we’re not,” Sombers said. “We’re using carbon fibers.”

These carbon fibers are biologically compatible, un-like metals which can be toxic and must be treated with pro-teins before they can be used, which further slows down the process. The carbon fibers are also much smaller.

“[The carbon fiber] is seven micrometers in diameter and 100 micrometers in length,” Lugo-Morales said. “If you compare it to a hair it will be 10 times smaller because we want to avoid damaging the brain.”

Even though Sombers is us-ing her biosensors to detect glucose levels specifically, she says the voltammetric bio-sensors will be able to detect many more biomolecules in the future. Sombers believes that her research will take about 5-10 years to make it to other research institutions, but she hopes it will become industrially and widely ad-opted in the next 20 years.

What can students do to support equal

marriage?

“People should express their beliefs in a respectful manner. Instead of trying to prove others wrong, we should share our experiences and see how they benefit society.“

Yaseline Munozfreshman, industrial engineering

“Societally, boundaries are tested at the margins. What was once outrageous in Raleigh is now socially acceptable. When the topic comes up, just make your beliefs clear. Aaron Alejandrofreshman, FYC

“When people ask what you believe, you should say it. People should be able to marry whomever they want and other people shouldn’t be able to tell them no.”

Tabia Talukder freshman, undecided

Down with Boehner: Portman for presidentI used to love John

Boehner. The man that New York Daily

News described as a “chain-smoking glad-hander with a permanent tan and anchor-

man hair” was once the apple — or should I say pumpkin — of my eye.

Despite h i s l e a k y tear-ducts, Boehner is a bri l l iant

politician. Last month, when the De-

partment of Labor released statistics that unemployment had gone down to 7.7 percent, spin-doctor Boehner came out and said the following:

“Any job creation is posi-tive news, but the fact is unemployment in America is still way above the levels the Obama White House projected when the trillion-dollar stimulus spending bill was enacted.”

Somehow, lower levels of unemployment meant Obama broke a promise. I’m

sure every pair of eyes in the White House immediately rolled back toward the ceil-ing.

But Boehner didn’t seduce me with his whiskey-voiced rhetoric. Last December, as Congress grappled on the edge of the fiscal cliff, Presi-dent Barack Obama and Speaker Boehner quickly be-gan to represent their respec-tive parties. Obama wanted bigger government, more taxes increases, and smaller spending cuts. Boehner op-posed all of it.

I easily looked beyond Boehner’s stance on social issues because he functioned so well as the “small govern-ment” guy. Until two weeks ago.

On March 17, Senator Rob-ert Portman’s son announced that he was gay. This caused Portman — who is a Republi-can — to change his position and support gay marriage, a decision that Boehner criti-cized. When asked by ABC’s This Week about what he thought about Portman’s de-cision, Boehner responded:

“I believe marriage is a

union between one man and one woman,” Boehner told This Week. “It’s what I grew up with. It’s what I believe. It’s what my church teaches me. And I can’t imagine that position would ever change.”

Sigh …I want Bulldog Boehner

to represent the Republican Party, but I’m sad that he ac-tually does. I’m tired of the anti-gay white-man party that is afraid of un-documented immigrants. I know I said my columns weren’t go-ing to cover social issues, but is it too much to ask for someone who will support both small businesses and equal rights of marriage?

Cue Senator Portman — who appears to be Boehner’s foil. While both men are from the Cincinnati area, Portman’s gentle demeanor radiates in stark contrast to Boehner’s ever-present tan.

Ideologically, Portman’s views on gay marriage line up a little more accurately with America’s — accord-ing to NPR, 58 percent of Americans now support gay marriage.

This RepublicMan (yeah, he’s back again from last week’s column) is proud of Senator Portman. He rep-

resents every-t h i ng I want the GOP to become. I h o p e to live in a coun-try with smaller govern-

ment and stronger empha-sis on business, but also in a country in which equality truly rings true. I support him for trying to separate conservatism from Repub-licanism.

With that said, what do you think of “Portman for President?” I’d vote for him.

March Madness: A social experience

Relax, this is not go-ing to be an article about N.C. State’s

unfortunate exit from the NCAA tournament, I’ll leave that up to our sports writers. This is about why the 2013 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship

is one of the best sporting events in the

United States. Though college football

has a playoff system on the way, and baseball convenes during the College World Series, the Men’s Basketball Championship is like no other.

Whether it’s an elemen-tary student placing lunch-time bets with OREOs or your grandmother wagering some change in a book club, the tournament’s popularity extends to all walks of life. The thrill of an upset or the tracking of an alma mater glue us to our TVs, rooting for the underdog.

All of the sudden you’ve become a fan of La Salle University or Wichita State because you picked them in your bracket. Most peo-ples’ brackets are registered through ESPN Tournament Challenge — this year’s total set a new record this year at 8.15 million brackets.

No justification is required in the Tournament Chal-lenge, and common sense flies out the window. People have picked teams with a coin toss, mascot battle and recently Wall Street Jour-nal’s Blindfold Bracket. The Blindfold Bracket showed people each game individu-

ally by stats and covered up the names and specific rank-ings in an effort to eliminate bias. But whether you are a third grader choosing which animal you prefer or an ESPN analyst evaluating defensive rebounds and steals, your chances are the same.

The recent expansion from 64 teams to 68 teams de-creased the odds of picking every game correct from one in 9.2 quintillion, to one in 147 quintillion.

The chances of picking ev-ery game correct are slim, yet each year millions claim their Cinderella and ride them un-til they fall. This year Florida Gulf Coast is wearing the glass slipper — and will have the expectations of millions on its shoulders this Friday when it plays for the state championship against the Florida Gators.

Every year a true underdog story emerges and captivates a nation hoping the clock will never strike midnight.

March Madness is unlike anything else. It represents something in college sports the NCAA got very right and brings together several demographics. Friends boast over correct upsets while col-leagues can gripe over losing their office pool to the sec-retary picking each game by favorite mascot. While you may think only 68 teams take part in March Madness, the tournament lets everyone be a participant in the buzzer beaters, Cinderella stories — resulting in the ripped up pieces of paper you use to call your bracket.

Moving past online activismThe unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s

editorial board, excluding the news department, and is the responsibility of the editor-in-chief.

{ }OUR VIEW

Red equal signs, like the one encom-passing this editorial, flooded Face-book Tuesday. The bold image that

replaced several profile pictures yesterday began with the Human Rights Campaign to raise online support for equal marriage as the Supreme Court began hearings on the issue. As of last night, the image had more than 7,200 likes on HRC’s Facebook and more than 29,000 shares.

But what’s next?Social media campaigns and online activ-

ism are ephemeral and seldom accomplish anything of real consequence. A little more

than a year ago, KONY 2012 inspired sev-eral people to change their cover photos on Facebook to that campaign’s image — but few people today can tell you whether Kony is alive or dead (he’s alive, and hiding). Even during that campaign many didn’t know the difference between a photo of Kony and a still of actor Carl Weathers from the movie Predator.

Mobilizing people online is great, but there has to be a next step, and there’s no reason why it can’t start with college stu-dents. If you love love, then at least write a letter to your representative (show some

love to the USPS and write it by hand, too).We’d rather see 100 people picketing at

the N.C. State Capitol against Amendment One than 1,000 red equal signs on Face-book. These posts will only be useful if they result in getting us off our computers and into protests and other forms of activism.

N.C. State students ought to look for volunteer/discussion opportunities at the GLBT Center and move past meaninglessly thoughtful Facebooking.

In many “mock drafts,” Leslie isn’t even a first round selection. His inconstancy and failure to live up to early preseason expectations taint-ed his stock. Brown is project-ed as a late first round pick.

According to Draft Ex-press’s latest mock draft, Brown would be selected 29th overall by the San Antonio

Spurs and Leslie would be early in the second round, the fifth pick in the later rounds by the Detroit Pistons.

Plain and simple, these two players are worth more than a late first or early second round pick.

The team couldn’t function if Brown and Leslie were not on the court — the Pack was unrecognizable. Brown and Leslie can be highly produc-tive NBA players, but not yet.

They could take the mon-

ey and run, which is totally understandable. How many people would turn down millions of dol la rs to play one more year of college when your career is right in front of you?

The decision to go, if they do decide on the NBA, would be frowned upon by many

Wolfpack faithful. Fans will ultimately have to come to

terms with the decision.

B u t i n a p e r f e c t world, Leslie and Brown wou ld re-turn to the Pack . The message

from most supporters: finish what you started — two back-to-back NCAA tournament

bids and ACC tournament semi-final losses. With three McDonalds All-Americans, who are rising sophomores, and a solid incoming fresh-man class, there is room to improve upon that.

Former players Scott Wood and Richard Howell will be out of the picture. It would be Brown and Leslie’s time to shine.

If they stay, the team will again be atop the ACC pre-season rankings. They will

have a bitter taste in their mouths, motivating them to take the next step that wasn’t taken the last two years.

If it’s about the money, they should go. Take the money, run, and hold their heads up high being a late-first or early-second round pick.

But this is the message they need to hear: Make a differ-ence, show your true colors, raise your draft stock and fin-ish what you started — give the Wolfpack one more year.

INSIDE• Page 5: Men’s Tennis

Junior forward Calvin Leslie and junior guard Lorenzo Brown have a decision to make: stay

in school or forgo their last year for the National Basketball Association.

Leslie and Brown, in addition to the team as a whole, didn’t finish the

season as planned — a second round loss in the NCAA tou r n a me nt to Temple, tying for fourth in the ACC, losing in the ACC tournament semi-finals for the second straight season and an overall inconsis-

tent effort throughout the year.Brown suffered an injury, result-

ing in a momentum swinging losing streak for the Pack. Leslie suffered with inconsistency — all season.

Both of these players have what it takes to be great, but they didn’t maintain that high level all year. Brown’s absence hurt the team when he was out, but his injury af-fected his play when he returned. Leslie showed flashes of greatness but never sustained it.

Leslie, who probably would have gone in the first round last season, opted to stay in school — an admi-rable decision. This year, he’s done nothing but hurt his draft stock.

Brown was recently named to the All-ACC second team while Leslie was named to the third team.

Staff Report

The N.C. State Department of Athletics announced Tuesday after-noon that women’s basketball head coach Kellie Harper will not return to coach the Wolfpack during the 2013-14 season.

“We thank Kellie for her service to our women’s basketball program,” Director of Athletics Debbie Yow said in a press release. “We wish her the best in her future endeavors.”

Harper completed her fourth sea-son in charge of the women’s basket-ball program Saturday with a loss on the road against James Madison University in the second round of the Women’s National Invitational Tournament. The Pack finished the season with a 17-17 overall record, going 7-11 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, which tied for seventh place in the conference.

Harper took over for former head coach Kay Yow following her death in 2009. She compiled a 70-64 (.522) overall record in her four seasons at the helm but was just 23-39 (.371) in the ACC. She led the Wolfpack to the NCAA Tournament during her first season in Raleigh, her only appearance.

“We will begin a national search immediately,” senior associate ath-letics director and women’s basket-ball supervisor Michael Lipitz said in the press release, “but have no specific timeline for completion.”

Current assistant coach Ken Grif-fin will continue in his current role and will lead the program in the interim period.
