day, Apr, 6 in Kresge Auditori
um. Sink discussed how lo
build a career in the twenty-first
century. She emphasized the
concept of balance between

Submitting to the
Herald:

publication.
Submissions can be
brought to 208 Cate Center.
Submissions include letters

this is one of the best ways to
develop leadership abilities.. In
hiring of college graduates, she
said that she prefers candidates
with communication and lead
ership skills because the bank
can teach them the technical
skills much easier than the first
two types of expertise.
The graduate students asked
many questions about how to
achieve balance in one’s life,
and Sink provided down-to-
earth answers in a relaxed
speaking style.
Sink was raised on a tobacco
farm near Mt. Airy and is a
1969 graduate of Wake Forest
University with a degree in
mathematics. Her mother and
sister received music degrees
from Meredith. During the past
26 years, she has held 16 differ
ent positions with Nations
Bank, which is in the process of
changing its name to Bank of
America- She resides in Tampa
and commutes to Jacksonville.
This spring marked the first
time that a company has spon
sored the Distinguished Busi
ness Speaker Series. Bob
Luddy, president of Captive-
Air services of Youngsville,
provided funding for this
speaker.

Maybe you have seen the
signs or shirts around campus
asking. "Do you agree with
Mike?”
So what is it all about? Who
is Mike and with what does he
agree?
It is really quite simple.
"Do you agree with Mike” is
a campaign for Christ that was
started by a student at N.C.
State.
Mike is a senior at N.C. State
studying religion and he wanted
to make it easier for students to
share their faith so he came up
with this idea.
He rallied faith based organi
zations and got Christian stu
dents to plaster N.C. State and
surrounding campuses with fly
ers and sidewalk chalk, they
painted the free expression tun
nel and designed shirts asking
the question.
Of course, this did generate a
lot of questions and other stu
dents began asking the same
what this Mike stuff was all
about.
Mike, like myself, believes
that Jesus Christ came to save us
all from sin; He is our redeemer.
It is through Him by which we
are saved.
We are not perfect so God
sent His only son to die for us
that we may be forgiven and
receive everlasting life.
Often people are hesitant
about sharing their religious
beliefs for fear of ridicule or
rejection or (hat maybe they
won’t be able to live up to their
own standards, but 1 do not
think I am setting any unattain
able standards by calling
myself a Christian. We all fall
short.
It is often said, "if you don’t
stand for something you'll fall
for anything.”
1 just want everyone to have
the same peace that I do know
ing that God is in control of my
life.
1 believe that God sees all
people equally and that we are
all called according to His pur
pose. He wants the very best for
each and every person He has
created.
I am so glad that I serve a
gracious and forgiving God,
and 1 am not ashamed let the
world know.
So. do you agree with Mike?
