NCSU, Gale Force Holdings resolve PNC scheduling dispute Deputy Sports Editor

After more than a year of contention, N.C. State University and Gale Force Holdings have reached an agreement regarding PNC Arena scheduling policies. On Friday, Chancellor Randy Woodson and Carolina Hurricanes President and General Manager Jim Rutherford announced that the two parties have developed a formalized process for scheduling events at PNC Arena. The arena currently serves as the home of N.C. State men’s basketball and Carolina Hurricanes hockey and hosts numerous ma-

jor events such as concerts and pro wrestling. “We had done the scheduling a certain way for a number of years,” Rutherford said at the press conference. “We got to a point, as any long relationship would, where you have to make adjustments.” The agreement’s guidelines state that Gale Force will not schedule Hurricanes games or other events on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays during the Atlantic Coast Conference basketball season until the ACC releases its final schedule. The ACC primarily uses those three weekdays to schedule basketball games.

N.C. State forfeits stake in student startups in lieu of education Joseph Havey Deputy News Editor

For-profit startup incubators are becoming commonplace on college campuses across the United States. N.C. State, however, has chosen to take a hands-off approach to this educational endeavor by providing resources for students without asking for a cut of their profits. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, several large universities, such as the University of Pennsylvania,

are creating startup incubators to encourage students to start education-center companies. The universities will provide the advice and monetary resources, but if the startup is successful, they will also get a chunk of the profits. “This is a potentially large revenue stream if the companies do well,” Bobbi L. Kurshan, executive director of academic innovation at the University of Pennsylvania’s school of education, told the Chronicle. N.C. State also has a startup

incubator called the Garage, which is located on Centennial Campus. Megan Greer, the associate director of external relations for the Entrepreneurship Initiative at NC State, said the Garage is different than the University of Pennsylvania’s model because it’s an education program. “If a startup comes out of [a student’s] experience in the Garage, then we celebrate that,” Greer said. “But they own their idea.” Greer said students can use the Garage as a place to

come together and collaborate with others, as a way to experience creating a startup. It’s all about education. “[The Garage] is not an incubator per say,” Greer said. “It’s a place where students with ideas can come and put ideas into practice. And if they don’t work out, then they can leave it and move onto another idea.” Greer also said that she does see startups and higher education increasingly influencing each other, for-profit or not.

“I think that we’ve seen an increase in entrepreneurship education programs,” Greer said. “They might have different organization structures, but we have seen more of these incubator type spaces opening on campuses in the UNC-System, as well as the private colleges in North Carolina.” Burlington-based Elon University, for example, offers a degree in entrepreneurship. One example of a Garage member directly inf luenc-

ing N.C. State is Heather Troutman, a senior in environmental sciences and selfdeclared social entrepreneur. Her campaign, Plastic Propaganda, seeks to eliminate single-use plastic on N.C. State’s campus through the help of large-scale artistic demonstrations. “Rather than telling people information that they may or may not want to hear, the idea is to build something to peak their curiosity through some-

Student organization hosts wine-tasting fundraiser

Cyber security awareness month starts with online privacy lecture

Deputy News Editor

One of N.C. State’s newest student organizations, 4 the World N.C. State Chapter, hosted a wine tasting for its fundraising event Friday. The event was held at Uncorked, a wine bar and restaurant located in North Raleigh, and tastings were offered for $5 per person. The organization sold raffle tickets for gourmet wine and cheese baskets. Uncorked donated 100 percent of the proceeds to 4 the World. 4 the World is a nonprofit organization that works with volunteers to help suppress global issues in needy communities, primarily health and education. Robert Keith Froom, the founder of 4 the World, started the N.C. State chapter. “I started the N.C. State Chapter with help from a young lady looking to do an internship,” Froom said. “That was her project, to get the chapter started.” After working on the project for a year, there was officially a chapter at N.C. State by the beginning of the 2012 academic year. The

organization had presidents, copresidents, vice-presidents and secretaries but Froom said it was not very well known on campus during its first year. According to Froom, that changed at the 2013 N.C. State Campus Crawl when more than 100 members signed up for the organization. “It’s a really popular organization when students see the pictures and hear about all the things we do,” Froom said. Froom, who just got back from spending a month in Guatemala and Belize, said 4 the World works both in the U.S. and abroad, with the foreign efforts taking place in Belize, Guatemala, Africa and Philippines. Teams of volunteers go on location to do health or education projects, and sometimes volunteers work to build schools and deliver school supplies, other times they put electricity in schools that don’t have power. “Sometimes when our teams go to these communities

we’re the closet things to medical people,” Froom said. “It’s really amazing.” Shea Kerkhoff Vessa is the education director of 4 the World. She began working for the organiza-

About 40 people attended N.C. State’s kick-off event for Cyber Security Awareness Month — a lecture sponsored by the Office of Information Technology. The lecture, titled “How to Take Control of Your Digital Life,” provided faculty, staff and students tips on securing their privacy online. Tim Gurganus, an information technology security officer for OIT and Friday’s lecturer, said he thought the

event went well. “I think our role is to raise awareness of the attacks and scams that are out there,” Gurganus said. “There is a risk, and there are things the students can do to reduce it. That’s how we help the campus in general with these presentations.” Gurganus said this is the fifth year he’s helped with Cyber Security Awareness Month, which is sponsored by the Department of Homeland Se-

Study Abroad Fair showcases educational destinations Travis Toth Correspondent

Students attended the Study Abroad Fair on Friday, which provided a learning experience for students interested in adding a global perspective to their education. Prospective study abroad students, such as Megan Dunton, a sophomore in genetics and English, discussed their options with students who had previously studied abroad in an effort to find the most suitable destination. Dunton said she’s fascinated with the Middle East, and she’s interested in studying in Jordan as opposed to a more common location for college students. “I want something different than your typical WesternEuropean trip,” Dunton said. N.C. State offers a program in Jordan, which is one of the many programs offered. According to the N.C. State

Alex Garver, a sophomore in business administration, worked the booth for the semester in Oxford program. Garver said other students should take advantage of the opportunity. “In Oxford, I learned a lot about Shakespeare and that I shouldn’t quickly pass judgments on things based on where I’m from,” Garver said. Erika Barrett, a junior in environmental engineering, is currently undecided but has narrowed her choices and must pick between Switzerland and Prague to finish some of her general education requirements. N.C. State has a lot of resources for students who haven’t come to a final deci-

sion, according to Barrett. “The study abroad office is definitely a good resource. Everyone’s always offering to help and really pushing students to study abroad,” Barrett said. At the Prague booth, Joe Glatstein, a junior in middle grade social studies education, was helping students such as Barrett make a decision. Glatstein, a former student at N.C. State’s Prague Institute, spoke about the impact that studying abroad may have on college students’ education. “One of the most valuable things about studying abroad is expanding your comfort zone,” Glatstein said. Students can tailor their experience toward their personal interests and hobbies because study abroad trips often involve scheduled trips or extra time for traveling, according to Glatstein.

In the future, fall break trips will be offered as well.” According to Froom, in past trips, the volunteers have been able to have a little fun as well—such as getting to climb the Mayan Ruins. “After the week you have a blast and it’s really neat,” Froom said. “Most of our

volunteers, over the ten years that I’ve been doing this, stay involved in with 4 the World because they think it’s a really cool organization, even after they graduate.” Some of the event attendees were donors and supporters. They help contribute funding because they want to see kids go to school and succeed with their education.

Although CSAM is in its 10th year nationally, Gurganus said it’s still growing in popularity. “I saw a PSA about passwords a couple days ago on NBC,” Gurganus said. “I was surprised – it was the first time I’ve seen something about this on TV.” During the event, Gurganus provided several tips for keeping personal information — such as passwords, Facebook photos and bank accounts — safe from hackers. First, Gurganus encouraged students and faculty to always turn on the “Do not track” feature, which is supported by Firefox, IE and Google Chrome. He also said Internet users should seek to use encryption as much as possible. “When you see ‘https’ in the URL online, that means you’re on an encrypted website,” Gurganus said.

like drinking a bunch of different kinds of beer,” Hayes said. Large tents were set up in what would normally be the outfield of the park, with many beer venders set up underneath—offering draft, canned and bottled beer from various breweries throughout the world. Hayes said getting to try various North Carolina beers in particular was one his favorite things about the festival. In some instances, craft beers can be difficult to obtain, with some only being sold in their respective breweries. “I don’t know where you buy [these rare beers], I know some are specific to certain restaurants,” Hayes said. Although he said that the experience was overall a very good one, he said that the crowd, mixed with the unseasonable heat, was a little much at times. “It’s was too hot, but it’s normally a good time of the year to do it,” Hayes said. Hayes said that a little more space in between the vendors might make the festival a little more comfortable. In addition to the crowd inside of the festival, Hayes said that long lines, which

For example, a student’s bank account password should be far stronger than his or her Twitter password. He also said Facebook users could request a one-time password, which could be used when logging on from an insecure location such as a public computer. Facebook sends the password to the users via text message, and they are good for only 20 minutes. Gurga nus said people should be extra sensitive about passwords because they are a common target for hackers. “Password guessing and

Hayes said that he would prefer that in the future the venue let people in but just not allow any drinking until the start time, helping to alleviate overcrowding outside and delays getting started. Once it did get started, the festival featured live music to go along with the beer. Chris Overstreet, Skinny Bag of Sugar and Canine Heart Sounds were on the bill to play the festival throughout the day, according to allaboutbeer.com. Additionally, food trucks from various vendors, including Rudino’s, MacUroni and Only Burger, were set up throughout the event that allowed people to purchase food. Hayes said that he definitely plans to return next year, but said that one particular decision he made definitely helped him enjoy himself more and be responsible as well. “The best decision that we made was taking a cab, I recommend that for everybody,” Hayes said.

Gurganus said one way hackers obtain passwords is through social engineering. “Hac kers st udy what you open,” Gurganus said. “They’ve gotten very good at it.” Gurganus said hackers will commonly email users with fake Facebook requests, UPS and FedEx orders, credit card memos and even parking ticket notifications.

and instead delete the email. N.C. State is not immune to these attacks. Gurganus said he often thwarts attempts from hackers to imitate Shibboleth, Moodle, WebAssign and MyPack. A large part of his job is to prevent these malicious emails from reaching students. “We’ve got some good filters with some updates from me every now and then,” Gurganus said. “If we didn’t have those filters, you would probably get at least one [malicious email] a month.”

Lastly, Gurganus advised students and faculty to keep various programs, including Adobe Reader, Flash Player, Internet browsers and Java, updated. Each of these platforms sends out updates on a rotating basis — usually monthly — to help combat the latest hacker tools. “Java is the most important thing to patch,” Gurganus said. “I find that Java is most often exploited.” Gurganus said events like the one Friday help keep the campus community in-

formed. “A lot of these are just attacks on all universities because the attackers know we don’t have a large security staff and they know we have a lot of students and that our networks are generally open because this is an open environment,” Gurganus said. “My goal is that students come here and use their computers for four or five years and they don’t have any problems with malware or phishing.”

Art has scheduled to exhibit the shack later this year. “This year is we’re pushing to get plastic bags removed from campus as well as plastic silverware and takeout containers,” Troutman said. “These will be substituted with other materials that are also single use — because that is the nature of the game — but not plastics which have a really heavy energy input.” For example, Port City Java recently switched from plastic coffee stirrers to bamboo

stirrers. Troutman said these types of changes are what Plastic Propaganda, with the help of the N.C. State sustainability office, is seeking to influence. Troutman said the most beneficial thing about the Garage is the ability to collaborate. “A good idea takes a lot of work and creativity to make it an actuality and blossom,” Troutman said. “There’s a way to effectively do it, and there’s been a lot of people

throughout history and a lot of people in the Raleigh community who have a lot of experience of taking a good idea and making it a reality rapidly and efficiently.” Troutman said the Entrepreneurship Initiative, which runs the Garage, has helped her learn to be productive and effective. “I also network amongst other students who are doing good things aand are doing other good things,” Troutman said.

Government shutdown slows research process Staff Report

University officials encouraged researchers to limit spending during the government shutdown in a memo sent out last week. The shutdown began Oct. 1, when Congress could not agree about a spending plan for the fiscal year, according to CNN. As a result, the government will only fund essential federal services until lawmakers make a deal, putting a strain on research. Federally-funded grants at the University may continue only if they were approved prior to Oct. 1. N.C. State will use cash reserves to fund research in the meantime, anticipating a refund from the government when the shutdown ends, according to the NCSU Bulletin. However, the reserves are

limited, and research managers have been asked to cut their spending as much as possible. The shutdown has also halted pre-award research projects that haven’t officially begun the funding stage, according to the NCSU Bulletin. Alternative sources must fund pending salaries or expenditures, and new projects will not be supported, Charles Leff ler, vice chancellor for finance and business and Terri Lomax, vice chancellor for the Office of Research, Innovation & Economic Development, said in the memo. Federally-funded financial aid, such as Pell Grants and work studies will not be impacted.

Sasquatch will never die

group of Sasquatch researchers fought for the survival of the existence of a Sasquatch species living amongst us at a news conference in Dallas on Tuesd ay. T he y presented a never before seen hig hdefinition Tyler Gobin v i d e o o f t he creaStaff Columnist ture moving through the Kentucky wilderness. The Erickson Project has collected more than 100 pieces during the past five years while working on the Sasquatch Genome Project, a $500,000 DNA analysis of samples from the unknown beast. They claim Sasquatch is a human relative who has lived for about 13,000 years. Melba Ketchum is a lead researcher for the Sasquatch Genome Project and is a firm believer in the Sasquatch species. Ketchum said she doubted Sasquatch’s existence initially, but after discovering unique hair samples that had distinct morphologies from animals and humans she was swayed. The Genome project consists of 111 samples of hair, blood and skin from the alleged creature. Thirty-four research sites in 14 different states and two Canadian provinces submitted the samples. “They’re a type of people.

IN YOUR WORDS

They’re a human hybrid, we believe,” Ketchum said at the news conference. The video from Kentucky was not the only footage presented during the conference. Dennis Pfoul, the group’s project manager, presented a short clip of a possible Sasquatch treding through the snow in Colorado. “We’ve all had experiences that have changed our lives, I mean, literally shook the foundation of what we believe in,” stated Pfoul referring to the raw footage. The news conference concluded without solid facts, but that doesn’t stop groups such as the Erickson Project from spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to pursue Sasquatch’s existence. There are more than enough mythical creatures to supply conspiracy theorists with something to do. Whether it’s Sasquatch, the Loch Ness Monster, the Yeti, the Chupacabra or Megalodon, enthusiasts will research the creatures. Though these creatures may not exist, it’s impossible to prove they don’t exist. Todd R. Disotell, a professor in the Department of Anthropology at New York University, doesn’t believe in these beasts but stated the truth. “You can prove that every sample you’re brought isn’t what they’re claiming, but you can’t disprove this. It will go on forever. We’ll al-

ways have it,” stated Disotell. But who said that’s a bad thing? It’s not bad for people to pursue what they believe in. For example, despite the inconclusive facts, a small town in Montana hosts the Elliston Bigfoot Hunt every year in the nearby wilderness. It’s been taking place for 22 years regardless of whether Bigfoot was killed. I myself have never opposed the idea of a giant sea beast in our vast oceans or a strange creature in the forests of Siberia. My personal favorite is the famous Chupacabra that kills livestock and drinks blood. It’s fun to believe. I like to imagine there are things that we don’t know about. I like to believe we don’t know everything because it’s entertaining to imagine what could be true. Stare up into space on a clear night and imagine what we don’t know about. It blows your mind because we can’t fathom the unknown. It’s scary, but it makes me excited at the same time. The research for these creatures is the tangible evidence of our continued curiosity. It shows we ‘re unwilling to accept the facts and explore the possibilities. What if Christopher Columbus wasn’t willing to explore or Lewis and Clark were content with the East Coast? Curiosity about the unknown is exhilarating and is something I hope continues to inspire people to push boundaries.

Habitat for Humanit y at N.C. State has just had a very long and busy week with Shack-a-Thon, as every student who passed by the Brickyard could tell. We would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has helped us reach our goal of $30,000. We have realized that we have not completely finished our job, which is to inform the NCSU community exactly what Habitat for Humanity really does. Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization whose mission statement is “Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.” Habitat for Humanity does this by providing zero-interest mortgages for affordable housing to very deserving families who have worked to earn these homes. In order to even become considered for a house, a family must submit an application, have good credit and must have an income that is 120150 percent of the poverty line. Then, the family must put in 250 sweat equity hours, meaning that they must help construct someone else’s house and their own for a certain amount of hours which varies depending on

HOW TO SUBMIT Letters must be submitted before 5 p.m. the day before publication and must be limited to 250 words. Contributors are limited to one letter per week. Please submit all letters electronically to technician-

where they live. This creates a sustainable system of volunteering because the community essentially helps construct each other’s houses. Depending on where you live, families may also be required to take certain classes such as how to budget, how to balance a checkbook, what to do when something goes wrong, etc. so that they can take great care of their new home. In this way, Habitat for Humanity is a “hand up, not a hand out.” Two of H4H’s missions are “Support sustainable and transformational development” and “advocate for affordable housing.” Although our work does provide relief for individual families, our mission and goal is to transform how the system operates. Studies have shown that children of Habitat for Humanity homeowners are 25 percent more likely to graduate from high school; 116 percent more likely to graduate from college; 20 percent less likely to become teenage mothers; 59 percent more likely to own a home within 10 years of moving out; and saves taxpayers an estimated $34,000 in public expenditures (cost of juvenile delinquency, teenage pregnancy, etc.) that would have been spent had these children remained in rented housing. These benefits will increase as

}

Habitat builds more homes. There was a family our organization has worked with that was working on their own home because they moved apartments approximately every six months, and were currently living in an apartment where they had to prop the couch against the door at night to prevent theft. By allowing this family to have a stable home, we are giving those children a better chance to succeed in school, helping to break the cycle of poverty and allowing the children to escape the cycle. They can also find more information at www. habitatwake.org During Shack-a-Thon, we raised awareness about H4H by giving people “habifacts” and an idea of what it may be like to live in or near poverty. During Shack-aThon, we gain new volunteers, earn a lot of money for deserving families and we have fun. That sounds like a win-win-win situation to me. If anyone would like to learn more about H4H, then I encourage them to sign up for our list-serve at http:// clubs.ncsu.edu/habitat/listserv.html They can also find more information at www. habitatwake.org.

27 Views of Raleigh is exactly what it claims to be — a book containing 27 selections of stories, essays and anecdotes as told by 27 different writers, each connected by a tie to the city. Some selections touched my heart. Others put me to sleep — each work defines itself. I knew the book’s premise when I started it, but I didn’t actually anticipate how different every work would be from one another — authors from every walk of life contributed history lessons, poetry, works of fiction (including one science-fiction piece) and personal anecdotes. T h e b o o k ’s g r e a t e s t strength was a rapid and constant changing voice. Each new work described the same space as seen through different eyes. One author explored her family’s deep ties to Raleigh and how they shaped her, while another talked about her double-life as an immigrant. Still, another described African-Americans’ history in Raleigh, while one told a purely funny story about how, as a young couple, an author and his girlfriend looked for a place to live. The vast collection provided a more complete picture of the city than one author could have done alone. Many of the authors sharing touching, personal stories. For instance, an essay chronicled the experience of a pastor in Raleigh’s 1988 Gay Pride March. Another essay detailed a woman’s relationship with the fox that lived in her backyard. There was also poetry about seeing an Islamic person pray in the rush of the city, and poetry about an old man looking back at fall-

doesn’t think home has to be one particular place. “I don’t see any contradiction between saying that is home there and this is home there, but in between home here and here, there is a constant struggle of identity and being located and dislocated,” Nfah-Abbenyi said. “It is that struggle between the dislocation and location that I wanted to explore in the piece that I wrote.” As for the other views in the book, according to Nfah-Abbenyi, they are diverse. “You have journalists, professors, writers, crime reporters and people from different walks of life writing about Raleigh—some who have lived in Raleigh for a long time and some who are new to Raleigh,” Nfah-Abbenyi said. “So that gives a really

holistic perspective of what Raleigh is, and that’s what I really enjoy about it—all of the stories are talking about the same place but they are all really different and I like that a lot.” Nfah-Abbenyi, an eightyear resident of Raleigh, said the book offers a lot of new information about the city. “I think people should read it because people know Raleigh, but there are a lot of things in the book that I learned even though I’ve been living in Raleigh for eight years,” Nfah-Abbenyi said. Though Nfah-Abbeny i talked about multiple places being her home, she describes Raleigh in one single word: “Refreshing.”

ing in love at the State Fair. I enjoyed the essays covering the history of the city. For example, Wilton Barnhardt makes the Civil War easy to picture as he writes about Robert E. Lee making his way up a road, which would later become I-95. I found myself caught in a fit of giggles upon reading that, in an attempt to fireproof the old beloved capitol building in 1831, workers accidentally burned it to the ground. One essay, ‘The Third House’ by Rob Christensen, felt like historical gossip in its overview of all the political scandals that had taken place in past years at the Sir Walter Hotel. However, not all the works were brilliant. The book attempts to cater to a very niche audience: people who are familiar with Raleigh. Sometimes this is taken too far. Many of the works cram in supposedly familiar street and place names without describing what they look like, and I, not a Raleigh native, would find my eyes glazing over. I found it a bit ironic that I had a hard time picturing places described in a collection dedicated to the city in which I live. The references weren’t entirely esoteric. For instance, I perked up at the mention of the Belltower, and another essay mentioned an auto-repair company I’d been to. People that grew up in the city would probably find the details endearing, but, for those who moved here recently, a good chunk of the writing is difficult to relate to. And, just like the odd work was extremely poignant, I found a few works extremely boring. One in particular, ‘Harking Back to Hargett

Red, White and Banned opens students’ eyes and ears to banned books Taylor Quinn Staff Writer

Students gathered in the Kennedy-Mcllwee Theatre to watch N.C. State theatre students bring books to life Sept. 24. University Theatre and NCSU Libraries worked together to host Red, White and Banned, an event celebrating the third National Banned Books week on NCSU’s campus. Diana Quetti, junior majoring in Communication Media, coordinated the event with Marian Fragola, coordinator of NCSU libraries. Quetti performed in the first event three years ago and was recruited to coordinate when Jill Varner, the original coordinator, graduated. “My first year, I performed a monologue from the outsiders and I loved it,” Quetti said. “It was such a great event, it was really exciting to be involved.” Eight students, including Quetti, performed either a monologue or a song from a banned or challenged book of their choosing. “Typically we get to pick our own, I sent a huge email out to all of the University Theatre students,” Quetti said. “I sent out a list of banned books and allowed them to pick anything that has been banned in the past or currently or by a specific location.”

Brittney Stinnett, sophomore in business administration, and Diana Quetti, senior in communication, perform a scene from Roald Dahl’s Matilda. This performance was a part of Banned Books Week which occured in Thompson Hall on Sept. 24, 2013.

Quetti performed the song, “Naughty,” from Matilda. “I was looking at Matilda because I thought it would be really neat to incorporate music into the scene and for the fun of it because Matilda just became a musical,” Quetti said. “It was banned [for] a couple areas like child neglect and themes of mental abuse, which is so shocking because it’s so classic and so many people read it.” Quetti said a lot of important pieces of literature have been banned for various reasons. Performers did their best to base their presentations about these top-

ics, which included violence, language and sexual content. “People wa nt to ba n [books] because they find [them] too harsh for students specifically to read,” Quetti said. “But I think a lot of the pieces are really important to our literature experience.” Quetti said she hoped people attending the event and those who will attend future installments gain a sense of appreciation for all types of writing. “I think [the event] is just really to let people know how important it is to expand your literature experience,” Quetti said. “I think that literature

in general is so important and such a great experience. I think this event teaches us not to limit ourselves and really appreciate all aspects of writing.” Olivia Harvard, freshman in First Year College, attended the event and said she thinks that banning books limits our view about the world. “The banning of books only allows people to learn and experience what the government views as right and appropriate,” Harvard said. On the other hand, Greg Song, sophomore in business management, said ban-

ning books doesn’t prevent anything. “I don’t think that banning books limits our view on the world because there are always ways for people to spread knowledge or pretty much anything,” Song said. “Banning books won’t actually limit or prevent anything.” According to Quetti, if it weren’t for University The-

atre she would never have had the opportunity to be a part of the event. “I feel so fortunate to be a part of it,” Quetti said. “The program itself is so wonderful and there are so many great members of it and so once I got involved in my first show I knew I wanted to be involved even more.”

International Festival returns Kaitlin Montgomery Staff Writer

Flags of various countries lined the ceilings. People of all different ethnicities and races represented their countries. It wasn’t a United Nations meeting that brought so many cultures together, but the 28th International Festival of Raleigh. Running from Oct. 4 to Oct. 6, the festival had the Raleigh Convention Center brimming with people enjoying other cultures’ dances, music and foods. Melissa Beard, executive director of the International Festival of Raleigh, said the event would most likely draw in 30 to 35,000 attendees. With the tagline, “Discovering the World in Raleigh,” the festival showcased more than 60 different cultures. “Everything has an international flavor,” Beard said. “I’m excited about the new things I’ve been able to bring with me as the new executive director. While the old standards are what have made this festival a success, we need to put a little bit of a spin on it every year to keep it fresh.” According to Beard, the festival this year created its own Amazing Race. Calling it Raleigh’s Race Around the World, seven teams completed challenges based on their knowledge about the world and how they were able to interact with other cultures. “We’ve secured two tickets to Managua, Nicaragua,” Beard said. “It’s a five-night

stay at the Mango Rosa Hotel and Resort in San Juan del Sur, a gorgeous, little pacific coast Nicaraguan town with great food and great waves.” Another new twist to the festival is the revamped beer garden. Partnering with Deep River Brewing, Raleigh Brewing, Natty Greene’s and Fullsteam, the festival will have craft beers specifically matching dishes at some of

the sidewalk cafés. “They’ll match the Philippine, Brazilian, Dutch and Korean cafés,” Beard said. “You’ll be able to try pairings with whatever foods from those cultures you may like. We’re putting the beer back in beer garden.” With its staple events such as the children’s section, Sophia’s Corner, as well as the main performing stage,

The statue of Sir Walter Raleigh stands outside of the Raleigh Convention Center. Organizers of the International Festival adorned him with a cape made up of different countries’ flags and stuck flags in his hat, as well.

Beard said that people always seem to talk about the food. “As I’ve been going around telling people I’m the new executive director they go, ‘Oh, that’s the festival with all the food,’” Beard said. “We’re the festival with the good food and various cuisine. Everything from Kenyan to Iranian – it’s always really good food.” Run by the nonprofit, International Focus, the International Festival, Beard explained, is the organization’s flagship event. “Obviously, this is our cornerstone event of the year,” Beard said. “However, this year we’ll have lots of other programs—more than we’ve

ever had before. We [offer] service resources for other cultural groups that might like to have ties to performers or the cultural and ethnic associations.” Having worked with nonprofits for about 20 years, Beard talked about the pitfalls that come from volunteering “Running nonprofit organizations, you tend to get a little cynical from time to time with volunteer involvement,” Beard said. “These guys have been truly good and they know what they’re doing. If I had to manage all roughly 10 venues, I would pull my hair out. The commitment on the part of the

volunteers is really extraordinary. We’re very fortunate in that regard. The ethnic communities they really comer together for this – it’s been something amazing to see.” Bread said that, ultimately, the interworking of the International Festival is down to a science. “Everyone here has been amazing,” Beard said. “That’s part of the magic of walking into an event that’s in its 28th year – you know what you’re doing. If the volunteers and the communities we work with didn’t know how to come together like they do, I don’t know how it would have come together this year.”

fense early, but Wake adjusted quickly. The Deacs used designed quarterback runs and quick slants to get the ball out of the pocket quickly before State’s defensive linemen could get to Price. Wake surprised the Pack with these changes and scored early off a quarterback sneak by Price. “Wake changed up a lot of things today,” head coach Dave Doeren said. “There are a lot of things that you can do if you know it’s coming, game-plan-wise, but with the injuries that we had in the secondary, it was hard to get into any substitution packages.” State’s offense resembled its schemes from previous games: sweep runs and screen passes to utilize the speed of its receivers, including junior

Injuries, however, are a part of football. Every team in the country has to deal with its players getting hurt, so it’s not an excuse. Penalties were another issue for State on Saturday. The Pack was flagged eight times against Wake, costing them 74 yards. The Wolfpack also struggled with penalties in its only other loss this season, committing nine against Clemson on Sept. 19. Doeren has emphasized discipline to his young team all season. Apparently he needs to emphasize it further.

Bryan Underwood and senior Rashard Smith. But late in the first half, Smith was injured by a big hit on a kickoff return following a Wake touchdown. Smith did not return to the game. “It hurt [losing Smith],” Thomas said. “He’s a big playmaker for us.” Wake led 7-3 until State got the ball with less than two minutes remaining in the first half. State marched 67 yards down the field to take a 10-7 lead, with Thomas capping off the drive by finding senior receiver Quintin Payton in the end zone with 0:33 left. Payton had his best outing of 2013, racking up six receptions for 98 yards and a touchdown against the Deacs. Payton only had six receptions for 61 yards in the Pack’s four previous games combined. But the Wolfpack couldn’t hold onto its lead, giving up

As bad as the game was for State, it’s still just one game and should be kept in perspective. The Pack still has a winning record, and there is still plenty of time to bounce back. Every young team, especially one with a new coach, is going to have bumps in the road. This was one of them. The Deacons deserve some credit. They were the better team on Saturday and they deserved to win. And as for the Wolfpack, the only thing they can do is keep working and get ready for its next game against Syracuse on Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium.

a 54-yard catch and run play before Price connected with senior wide receiver Michael Campanaro for a touchdown. Campanaro’s first score of the afternoon gave the Deacs a 14-10 lead going into the halftime break. “That was a big drive that we had to score a touchdown, and they came back with a really good drive.” Thomas said. “That stuff happens in football.” Campanaro, a second-team All-ACC wide receiver in 2012, punished the Pack all afternoon, finishing with 12 receptions for 153 yards and two touchdowns. “[Campanaro] is a great player,” senior cornerback Dontae Johnson said. “He sees doubles and all these different coverages every week, and he’s done a great job of [adjusting to them].” Penalties were another factor in the Pack’s loss. Penalties have been a consistent

shortcoming for State this season, finishing three of its last four games with eight or more fouls. Against the Deacs, State totaled eight penalties for 74 yards, including four defensive penalties that resulted in automatic first downs. “For us to grow as a team, we have to be more disciplined from a penalty standpoint” Doeren said. “We have to be able to stay focused on the road.” “[Details are] one of those things that we have to play attention to more during the week of practice, making sure guys are where they need to be,” Johnson said. “It’ll translate onto the field.” The Pack drops to last place in the ACC’s Atlantic Division, while the Deacons move up to fourth. State’s next contest is against ACC newcomer Syracuse (2-3, 0-1 ACC) at Carter-Finley Stadium on Oct. 12.

N.C. State lost its first road game of the 2013 season on Saturday to in-state rival Wake Forest, 28-13. The Wolfpack drops to 0-2 in Atlantic Coast Conference play after the loss. Saturday’s game marked the 107th meeting between the two teams, with the alltime record of 63-38-6 favoring the Pack.

All the progress that the N.C. State football team appeared to have made came to a screeching halt on Saturday in Winston-Salem. A hungry Wake Forest team turned the tables on the Wolfpack and played the role of predator on its home field, and State now finds itself in the cellar of the ACC Atlantic Division following a 28-13 loss. What exactly went wrong for the Pack? For starters, State simply came out f lat. It appeared they didn’t want to be out there playing. In the previous game against Central Michigan, State worked hard to establish the running game, getting its running backs as well as receivers involved on the ground. But against Wake, the Wolfpack rushed for only 115 yards, 60 of them cvoming from junior quarterback Pete Thomas. As the Pack fell behind, it became increasingly reliant on the passing game. That’s not a recipe for success in head coach Dave Doeren’s run-first offense. Thomas also threw a pair of second-half interceptions, bringing his total to seven through five games. Opening day starter Brandon Mitchell may be ready for next week’s game against Syracuse, meaning Thomas could have started his last

game of the season. Wake Forest senior quarterback Tanner Price looked like the second coming of John Elway against State’s defense, going 24-39 for 268 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 82 yards and another score. Two of those touchdown passes went to senior receiver Michael Campanaro, who torched State’s secondary for 153 yards. After taking a 10-7 lead 39 seconds before halftime, State committed one of football’s unforgivable sins–it allowed the Demon Deacons to score right before halftime. What should have been a threepoint halftime lead, turned into a four-point deficit. The Pack never recovered from there. All things considered, the Deacs just bullied the Pack all afternoon long. Wake better than the team that had been blown out 56-7 at Clemson and lost at home to Louisiana-Monroe. They played with more intensity, made fewer mistakes and had a stronger desire to come out with a win. T he Wol f pack played without its leading rusher in freshman running back Matt Dayes. The Pack also lost two other key contributors in senior receiver Rashard Smith and senior safety Jarvis Byrd during the game.
