The Eugenics Task Force met Tuesday to discuss its final recommendation for the General Assembly on monetary compensation for the estimated 1,500 to 2,000 surviving victims of forced sterilization between 1929 and 1974. The state legislature officially authorized the practice of sterilization in 1933 with the creation of the Eugenics Board of North Carolina, a branch of the Department of Human Resources. Until the abolishment of the board in 1977, an estimated 7,600 people were forcibly sterilized, many of them African American and women, according to Department of Administration records. The task force, comprised of five members, approved the recommendation of paying $50,000 in compensation to the living victims. This compensation increased from the last proposal of $20,000, but an independent group of victims and their families lobbied for $1 million in compensation. Dr. Laura Gerald, chair of the task force and a pediatrician from Lumberton, said no amount of money will repay for the harm done. “We are not attempting to place a value on anyone’s life. However, we are attempting to achieve a level of financial services that can provide meaningful assistance to survivors,” Gerald said during the meeting. According to the Gerald, compensation serves a collective purpose for the state to acknowledge its mistakes from the past. “We do not tolerate bureaucracies that trample on basic human rights,” Gerald said. Unofrtunately, this public apology came too late for survivor Elaine Riddick, 57. Riddick, the victim of rape at the age of 13, gave birth to her son when she was 14 with the assistance of a Cesarean section. After the giving birth, doctors proceeded to sterilize her. “I was a victim twice,” Riddick said. “Once by the rapist and once by the state of North Carolina. Normally if you commit a crime you pay for it.

They committed the biggest crime— a crime against God. A crime against humanity.” The history of eugenics programs is not unique to North Carolina. In a the North Carolina Social Hygiene
Society magazine in 1947, Dr. Clarence Gamble of North Carolina advocated eugenics programs throughout the country.

Bike lanes that were placed on the University’s section of Hillsborough Street last August may see an extension, improving the biking environment around the campus area. “[Bike lanes] give some sort of indication as to where [bikers] should be,” Michael Rosenberg, junior in mechanical engineering and member of the Cycling Club, said. Rosenberg said that the bike lanes currently on Hillsborough Street were unnecessary to advanced bikers such as himself, he explained that the main advantage to having lanes there was to prevent bikers from using the sidewalks. “I’m comfortable with traffic,” Rosenberg said. “I do think it would prevent people from riding on the sidewalks, though.” Steven Boehm, junior in electrical engineering and also a member of the Cycling Club, encourages the city to add more bike lanes.

Looking for an open spot in the bike rack at the Brickyard, Daryl McManus, a study abroad junior in chemistry from Ireland, glides along the bricks. “Biking makes it easy to get around and gives you a good amount of exercise. Also, since it’s so flat here compaired to Ireland it’s enjoyable to ride around,” McManus said.
“I would appreciate more bike lanes; that would be nice,” Boehm said. Boehm said that while he would like to see more bike lanes in the campus area, he said the ones on Hillsborough Street do not serve a huge purpose.

Adam Struer, freshman in First Year College plays his favorite videogame. “I love the new Call of Duty.” Struer said. Struer says he even plays with his hallmates who live in Owen Hall. Struer added that playing online videogames with friends in not only a good way to relieve stress, but it’s a good way to bond because the online game requires teamwork.
“Tomorrow’s population should be produced by today’s best human material,” Gamble wrote. “Along with 27 other forward-looking states, North Carolina has written that conviction into her laws.” This conviction, according to the Eugenical Sterilization Law of North Carolina, served as the rationale behind the sterilization of the “feebleminded, epileptic and mentally diseased.” Gamble later on went to write in the North Carolina Medical Journal, calling eugenics an exemplary method preventive medicine. For Riddick, the trauma of her sterilization won’t dissipate with compensation. “Fifty-thousand dollars cannot replace what I lost,” Riddick said. But even the $50,000 is no promise yet. The task force will formally issue its final report Feb. 1, which will then go under scrutiny by the General Assembly. For Riddick, that’s hopeful. “All I want is closure now. I want to go on with my life.”

{Our view}
The Facts:
We have Monday off as it is Martin Luther King Day. This year the holiday comes amidst reminders of episodes of discrimination from the past and the present.
Our Opinion:
Instead of celebrating MLK Day as just another day off, we should treat with the respect it deserves. We should take the day to celebrate how far we have come in terms of equality and be humbled by how far we still have to go.

In response to James Hatfield’s column, Occupy Reality, published Jan. 9. I’m not sure that you’re not bashing the Occupy movement. In calling these protestors “uneducated children,” “hippies,” and “absolutely idiotic . . . college dropouts,” you’ve made the opposite clear. What most media networks and short-analysis thinkers have been doing for years is being done here -- judging the body by the actions of the extremes. This is why every Muslim is treated like a terrorist and Catholic priest jokes circulate. The same thing happened to the Tea Party when the news focused more on flashy extremists who detracted from the group’s core issues. Most of these people are neither dropouts, nor idiots. Many of them have left their jobs to join the movement, and in the course of the protests it has attracted some idealists who aren’t necessarily pressing the same issues. This actually only speaks for more unresolved social issues.
A holiday unlike any other A
s the week rolls over its hump, we look forward to the weekend. The end of the week brings the promise of a release from days of straining over syllabi. This weekend affords special opportunities to students, for its length is extended to three days. With Monday off, students will take to the slopes or to the road to make use of their extra time. However, what seems to be lacking in our anticipation is a reverence for the reason for our extra time –- Martin Luther King Jr. Day. There is an aspect missing in how we conduct ourselves on MLK Day. Look around at the other major holidays we celebrate. On Thanksgiving we gather our loved ones to-
gether to give thanks. On the Fourth spend the day celebrating all that is American. On Valentines Day we bring that someone special close. On all of these days we do something special. On all of these days the holiday affects the way we act. However, on MLK Day our behavior is grossly unaffected by its holiday status. Granted, MLK Day is not a traditional holiday. It is not celebrating something finite (e.g. the date of our independence.) It is celebrating something that is fluid. It is celebrating the progress we have made towards equality. However,
These are the people who make the news: they’re funnier, and it’s easier to mock them instead of addressing the issue with argument. “Get a job” isn’t good advice, because it’s nothing no one’s ever heard before, nor something no one knows about. Occupy Wall Street is not about job availability. It was born from the Arab Spring and addresses the corporatepolitical alliance that threatens democracy. It isn’t about a hand out. It’s about the $1 trillion bailout that banks got, which in the end led to their 20 percent growth without any amends to their lending or foreclosure programs; about insider trading in Congress; about the alternative minimum tax that is working to eliminate the middle class. While I agree that formulating a plan instead of investing energy camping may be more useful for this group, dismissing the movement with flaky commentary isn’t productive.

what often is forgotten about the holiday is how it prescribes progress. Whether we like it or not, we have not achieved the equality Dr. King strove for. One need to only glance at the headlines to see the disparity between where we are and where we want to be. In recent months, we’ve seen displays of hate in both our Free Expression Tunnel and in the halls of Harrelson. Today, we witness how long our mistakes can hang with us. The Eugenics Task Force met Tuesday to provide recommendations to the General As-
sembly on how to compensate the 1,500 – 2,000 survivors of sterilization without consent between 1929-1974. Most of those sterilized were members of groups still fighting for equality today: women and African Americans. Even 38 years removed, we are still feeling the consequences of allowing inequality to occur. It is said that history is bound to repeat itself. However, we cannot afford to repeat our history. MLK Day has to power to bring change. We must approach Monday differently than other holidays. We must approach it not only with veneration for Dr. King, but with a vigor to bring about change.

A new year’s resolution for the Wolfpack
A
s we return from our winter vacations, the readjustment to life at school are taking affect. New classes to prepare for, new professors to get used to and new book s to never crack open. All of these pale in comparison to tackling all of our New Trey Year’s resoFerguson lutions. Viewpoint Editor Every year I tackle the same issues: I want to lose weight, to make better grades, to keep in touch with more family members, etc. While thinking about which of these would be this year’s issue I would take on the burden of attempting to change. Then I began to think of a few resolutions the University should consider as we enter into 2012. Our basketba l l tea m needs to work itself to a championship. Our players are the equivalent to the family members we’ve lost touch with. At one point in our school’s history, N.C. State basketball used to be respected and nationally known, something fans could be proud of. Now, having our last championship be nearly 30 years ago, some fans have given up hope of the team ever returning to the glory years. These long-lost relatives must be reunited and given the support they need to
regain their once-prestigious stance on the pillar of ACC basketball, if nothing else than to beat the Tarheels. The budget needs to be balanced. NCSU’s finances are the extra weight we strive to lose throughout the year. The economy being what it is has put a strain on everyone, including our University. With fewer funds from the state legislature coming in, the University takes the route of adding more money to its students’ bills. While our administrators claim to be trying their hardest to balance the budget in order to keep our University the most affordable university in North Carolina, their goal has not succeeded. A more systematic, businesslike approach should be taken to our budget. Evaluate the various expenditures to our budget, determine which are good investments and cut the funding from those that are not. The money does not need to come from students’ pockets merely because the state decides to cut from education again. Plan accordingly, evaluate properly and the extra pounds of our budget will be shed in time for swimsuit season. Our advising system needs improvement. Each year students are asked to rate their advising experience, and each year the advisers’ have dropped lower and lower. Year after year, one of the top complaints from students is their lax advisers, or even the constant miscommunication from their advisers—jeopardizing not only their grades,

but their graduation date. Communication between advisers and advisees could be improved if advisers didn’t have so much of the responsibility. Students should recognize their job is to learn, make the grade and graduate. The adviser serves a bridge between each of those steps, not the shortcut to get to the end result. This being said, the thought of some students never seeing their adviser is more than scary, it’s appalling. However if you’re like me, your resolutions begins Jan. 1 and you attempt to resolve them for about a week before the same old excuses arise: I like food too much, a C is perfectly fine as long as I get credit for it, the phone works both ways. These excuses are an obstacle we must overcome. For NCSU, these excuses sound something like this: it’s a building year for the Wolfpack, the legislature controls whether tuition increases, advisers are going to differ and we have to work toward the middle. To give us a happy new year, the University, which includes students, professors, advisers and administrators, should work toward resolving the issues we face for the upcoming year. Make your resolutions, N.C. State, and resolve them.

Quote of the day “Fear nobody and respect everybody.” Calvin Leslie, sophomore forward
Did You know? While State’s record 10-7 against Georgia Tech in the past decade bodes well for tonight’s game, getting off to a 2-0 conference start would bode well for the future. The last time State got off to a 2-0 start in the ACC was during the 2003-2004 season when the Pack went on to post an 11-5 conference record. The 11 wins stand as the most any Wolfpack team has compiled since prior to Jim Valvano’s arrival from Iona in 1980.
Opening ACC play with a win over UMD, the bar is set high early for the Pack.

low Jackets gained personal benefit from playing such a terrific game against a top-10 team. They could prove to be a challenge for the Wolfpack if Georgia Tech carries their learned lessons into this game. Wood, however, seemed confident that State is prepared to
counter whatever the Yellow Jackets may throw their way. “If we control the ball, that eliminates them in transition, and they’re a really good transition team,” Wood said. “I think the main way we’ll challenge that is to challenge them on defense and execute.”
Although Tech has a losing record on the season, including a four-game losing streak, the Pack certainly isn’t taking them lightly. Any ACC opponent could prove to be problematic for any team, and Calvin Leslie

Commentary
Selection committee should revisit its process
A
fter the first two months of competition on the hardwood, we are now coming down to the most critical part of any of the 341 Division-I men’s program’s or 338 women’s program’s seasons – conference play. At the concluJeniece sion of the Jamison conference Deputy Sports tournaEditor ments, each team’s postseason fate is left in the hands of the selection committee, all of them hoping for a chance to go dancing in the NCAA Tournament. With a team’s postseason hope, and possibly the overall fate of the program, in the hands of the committee, they are faced with this looming question: Which holds more weight on the tournament resume, nonconference or conference wins?
Of course, if a team takes its conference tournament they receive an automatic bid into the tournament. Also, if a team holds a strong conference record they are also very likely to receive a bid. There are also teams that had a so-so conference schedule or failed to win their tournament, yet blazed through their nonconference games, which have a great chance of getting into the tourney. This logic has been put to work for a significant amount of schools in major conferences. For example, the Big Ten’s Mich iga n State men’s program finished 9-9 in conference play but still advanced to the tournament as a No. 9 seed. Yet, the selection committee snubs plenty of deserving teams from both power (ACC, Big Ten, Big East, Big 12, PAC 12 and SEC) and non-power (WAC, WCC, A-10, etc.) conferences from the big dance, but in the power conferences
a school is more likely to get a second chance in the tournament. For most of the mid-majors, their conference tourney is do or die. St. Mary’s of the WCC finished 23-8 and 11-3 in their conference but wasn’t able to earn a bid into the tournament. In situations like these, the selection committee should ta ke a look at the larger body of work for the smaller conference teams rather than only w inning its tournament outright. T he committee should also take the strength of the conference itself into consideration during their decision-making process. In the power conferences- especially the ACC, Big East and SEC- there are plenty of teams that would be deserving of a spot in the dance. The ACC’s Virginia Tech went 9-7 in a conference that saw four tournament bids, yet the Hokies did
“...the selection committee snubs plenty of deserving teams...”
not qualify last season. The Wolfpack will likely fall into this bubble conundrum if it cannot take the conference tournament this year or compile a record above .500 in the conference. With perennial powerhouses Duke and UNC as the ACC’s front-runners and others, such as Virginia and Florida State, if it can pull itself out of its non-conference grave, are projected to receive bids to the tournament. The Pack went 11-4 in nonconference play and scored key wins over Texas and Princeton, but unless it finishes in the top four to five in the ACC, it might have to settle for the NIT or sitting at home in Raleigh. The Wolfpack Women will have a tougher ladder to climb to convince the selection committee this season, as it is likely that the Pack will need to finish in the top six. With four ACC teams sitting in the women’s top-25 ranking and starting off 0-3 in conference play, the Pack will need to get off of its slide starting with a solid performance against Boston College to impress the committee.
