Raleigh, North Carolina

IN BRIEF Chapel Hill bar gets punishments after deadly accident The North Carolina ABC Commission approved a new punishment Wednesday for the bar in Chapel Hill that served alcohol to an underage UNCChapel Hill student, who killed three people in a drunken car accident. La Residence, the bar and restaurant, will pay a $5,000 fine and serve a 14-day suspension. It will lose its alcohol license Dec. 18 and get it back Jan. 1. The ABC Commission gave La Residence the option to have its alcohol license revoked for 50 days or have it revoked for 14 days with a $5,000 fine. ABC Commissioner Chair Jim Gardner voted on 123 alcohol-related cases Wednesday, 67 percent dealt with underage drinking. SOURCE: WNCN

NC State Fair is working to establish a permanent sky ride NC State Fair is trying to find a company that would be willing to construct and operate a permanent sky ride on the fairgrounds. The State Fair tried to have a sky ride at this year’s fair, but it proved to be too complicated. The plan for the sky ride would include 1,400 feet of cables that would have either chairlift-style seats or enclosed gondolas. The sky ride would provide fair goers a pleasant view of the fair and carry crowds from one side of the fairgrounds to the other, according to Kent Yelverton, director of property and construction for the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The company that builds the airlift would have to give North Carolina 15 percent of gross ticket revenue, going up to 25 percent by the sixth year. SOURCE: The News & Observer

The posters, accompanied by a completely white tunnel, were endorsed by more than 30 student leaders including then-Student Body President Jay Dawkins. The painting of the tunnel and posters were in reaction to derogatory graffiti targeting President elect Barack Obama.

Library tour walks through NC State’s history Katherine Kehoe Projects Manager

When Irwin Holmes, the first A f rica n-A merica n student to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from NC State, first began taking classes at the university, he refused to live on campus. If a riot or anything else broke out on campus, he wanted a direct route home. Fortunately, that riot never came like it had on other campuses in the South during the first years of integration, but that didn’t stop Holmes from wanting to be careful. Toni Thorpe, the program coordinator of the African American Cultural Center, told this story to students standing on the steps of Watauga Hall, the first NC State residence hall to house a black student. About 50 students and visitors toured Main Campus Wednesday afternoon to listen to Thorpe and

other speakers reminisce about buildings and spaces that have had a historical impact on the lives of black students at NC State. The Red, White & Black walking tour, which is held twice a year, was created in 2011 as a collaboration between the African American Cultural Center and NCSU Libraries, with assistance from the Department of History. The tour began in the Yarborough Courtyard behind Holladay Hall and ended at the African American Cultural Center in Witherspoon Student Center. Tsharre Sanders, a senior studying psychology and an AYA ambassador at the African American Cultural Center, said events like these are important for students to care about, especially now when college campuses across the country are having serious discussions about race. “In order to know where you are it is important to know where you come from,” Sanders said. “In

NCSU adds first AsianAmerican culture course Katherine Hughes Correspondent

Starting next semester, NC State will offer its first course, FL 394, focused on Asian-American culture and literature. Taught by Nathaniel Isaacson, AsianAmerican Literature aims to bring awareness to topics of the Asian-American experience both throughout history and current events in the United States. Isaacson is an assistant professor of modern Chinese literature with a Ph.D. in Asian languages and cultures from University of California-Los Angeles. He said that often while teaching his classes, he was approached by Asian-American students who said there was a need for a class that discussed Asian-American culture at NC State. “Students felt that they wanted to see classes that addressed some of their issues as Asian-Americans rather than just classes that address Asian studies within Asia,”

Irwin Holmes was one of the first AfricanAmericans to enroll as an undergraduate student at North Carolina State University. He enrolled in 1956 and was the first African-American to earn an undergraduate degree from NC State in 1960.

Isaacson said. When Natalie Nguyen, assistant director of the GLBT Center, also reached out to Isaacson about the possibility of creating this course, Isaacson said he knew that now was the right time to officially get it started. Nguyen said she spoke to students who expressed that they felt NC State was lacking in curriculum of AsianAmerican culture. She said students wanted to see a class that was a representation of their experience and wanted the opportunity to learn more about Asian-American history. “When you look at diversity awareness and education, there is a lot of discussion about seeing curriculum that ref lects you,” Nguyen said. “That helps to give you a better understanding of your identity and the things you’re experiencing.” According to the Forbes 2015 ranking, 5 percent of NC State students are Asian-American. Nguyen said these students often do

not have an outlet to express their struggles as AsianAmerican students in the same way other groups do. Nguyen said that from talking to students, she has noticed that students who are first, second and third generation each have different experiences of being incorporated into American society. She said that often their parents can’t be a good resource for students because the conditions are always changing, and coming to the U.S. as an immigrant is such a different experience than being born and raised in the U.S. Nguyen also explained that Asian-Americans were a more prevalent part of American history, especially in the mid-late 1900s, in which many people were unaware. The hope is that this course will allow students to see another perspective of history in the U.S. that people are often unaware of or that they have not heard

light of all the recent events in other places, I think it is important as NC State students to know where we are and how far we have come.” Craig Brookins, an associate professor of psychology, began the tour with a libation in the Yarbrough Courtyard, an African ritual or heritage. “People without knowledge of their past are like trees without roots,” Brookins said. At the tour’s first stop in front of Watauga Hall, Brookins and Thorpe shared the stories of the first black students admitted to the university. The first two were graduate students: Robert Clemons and Hardy Liston, who were admitted in 1953. Clemons was the first African-American student to graduate with a degree from what was then called NC State College. The first four African-American undergraduates — Irwin Holmes, Ed Carson, Manuel Crockett and Walter Holmes — enrolled a few years later in 1956.

T hese students’ ad missions didn’t stir any riots at NC State like they had some schools in South Carolina and A labama. However, Thorpe said the transition was by no means f lawless. Social lives on campus were all but nonexistent for AfricanAmericans in the first years after integration, Thorpe said. The few black students were not allowed to be involved in Greek Life or oncampus clubs and organizations. While there were no mobs and few people were hostile, Clemons and Listen were largely overlooked during their first year. “Most people ignored them,” Thorpe said. The tour continued to Brooks Hall, which is where black students used to get together on campus in what became the university’s first unofficial African American Cultural Center. Thompson Hall followed. Todd

Kosmerick, the university archivist for NCSU Libraries, shared stories about NC State’s first African-American athletes. Holmes was a talented tennis player, and he became the first black student to play on a Wolfpack athletic team. He also became the first black varsity team captain of a team his senior year when he earned a spot as tennis team captain in 1960. Kosmerick told a story about a time when Holmes was refused ser vice at a restaurant where the tennis team had stopped after a match. When his white teammates got word about what had happened, “the entire tea m got up a nd walked out of the restaurant.” Basketball and football, the university’s main revenue-producing sports, took a little longer to integrate. The first African-American basketball players, Alfred “Al” Heartley and William Cooper, joined the fresh-

man team in 1967. Marcus Martin became the f irst African-American football player to join the Wolfpack in 1967. The final stop, the Free Expression Tunnel, elicited an emotional response from the presenter, Tracey Ray, assistant vice provost for Student Diversity. Ray said her idea of the tunnel changed the day after President Barack Obama was elected in 2008. That night, several black students who were excited about Oba ma’s elec t ion decided to paint the tunnel all black in celebration. The next morning, when Ray got into work, she decided to walk to the tunnel to see the work the students had done. “What we saw was horrendous,” Ray said. Sometime after the black students lef t the tunnel, other students entered the tunnel and w rote racia l slu rs a nd pa i nted what looked like a blood splatter next to a call to shoot him “in the head.” Matteson Tef feteller, a sophomore studying statistics, said the story about

the Free Expression Tunnel struck her hardest during the tour. “I didn’t realize it was so recently that the environment on campus had been so hostile,” Teffeteller said. Merritt Sessions, a sophomore studying business administration, said the event was a way to share knowledge about the history of

diversity on campus. “People can learn more about some of the hard times that others have been through in the past that we may overlook, even as we walk the very same streets that they did,” Sessions said. Rasier Ravenell contributed reporting to this story.

before. The course will focus on the commonalities between the Asian-American experience and the experience of other ethnic groups or minority groups within the U.S. Topics that will be covered range from the civil rights movement, immigration and current issues in today’s society. Both Nguyen and Isaacson researched other courses similar to this one at other institutions to gain an idea of what types of topics to cover and which types of literature to focus on, as well as to build a course that gives a well-rounded perspective into each of the topics. Asian-American Literature will be open to everyone on campus, and Isaacson said he hopes students from all different backgrounds will choose to enroll. However, according to Isaacson, as of last Thursday, there was only one student who was signed up for the course. If approximately 10 to 15 students do not enroll

in the class by the beginning of the spring semester, then it will likely be canceled or postponed. Nguyen said that if this happens, they have a plan for advertising and creating awareness of the class to students by next fall. Students at other universities in the past have protested for types of classes like these. For example, students at Northwestern University went on a 120-day hunger strike to have Asian-American studies courses offered at their school. Nguyen said they were lucky that NC State was very receptive with making the course before students needed to protest for it, but now there is a need for increased awareness of it so that they can keep this class and continue to build the Asian-American studies in the future. “It will be 2016, and this is our first-ever [Asian-American] class,” Nguyen said. “To put that in the same sentence is kind of mind-boggling. It’s going to take some time to build that momentum and that movement.”

uesday, actor Charlie Sheen announced on NBC’s “Tod ay ” show Chauncey that he testBowden ed positive Correspondent for HIV and that he’s known about this diagnosis for about four years. However, Sheen’s decision to publicize such an intimate issue may not have been completely optional. He was allegedly under pressure after several of his friends spread the word that he was HIV positive. This news then spread to several of his former partners who threatened him with a lawsuit, saying that they did not know about his HIV status at that time that they were intimate with him. TMZ reported that Sheen settled several of these cases, exchanging money for the women’s confidentiality. Sheen told Matt Lauer on “Today” that he needed to “put a stop to this onslaught, this barrage of attacks and of sub-truths.” He went on to tell Lauer that he would no longer pay people to keep this secret. “I release myself from this prison today,” he stated. Sheen told Lauer that he disclosed his status with all of his sexual partners ahead

“HIV is not that awkward elephant in the room that will disappear as long as you don’t talk about it.” of time and that there were only two women that he’d had unprotected sex with; these women were under the care of his doctor, according to Sheen. There are several women who state that Sheen did not disclose his status with them ahead of time — Sheen has allegedly paid these women in settlements. Sheen is known for being a “bad boy” and a womanizer in some circles. When news broke about his HIV status, some remarked that they weren’t surprised, given his reputation. While HIV and AIDS are certainly better understood by doctors now than they were in the 1980s, there is still a stigma and fear attached to them. HIV is that

taboo, unspoken “thing” that we avoid discussing at all costs, but it’s not that simple. HIV is not that awkward elephant in the room that will disappear as long as you don’t talk about it. It’s not an urban legend that only happens to promiscuous people. And it didn’t die in the ‘90s. An article published on EveryDayHealth.com states, “as many as 25 percent of the people with HIV do not yet know that they have it.” While Sheen’s diagnosis of HIV is certainly tragic, it isn’t the only thing to be afraid of. Sure, some STDs are treatable, but not everyone will be so lucky, and it’s best not to risk it. The CDC reported that nearly half of the 20 million cases of STDs diagnosed every year can be attributed to young people between the ages of 15-24. There are ways to protect yourself against STDs such as HIV. If you haven’t educated yourself on what those practices are, I highly suggest that you do. A part of being a mature adult includes taking care of your health. Get tested and practice the safest sex possible. No one is above what happened to Charlie Sheen.

he University of Missouri System President Ti m Wolfe has stepped James down in reTwiddy sponse to Correspondent t he stri ke of about 30 of the university’s football players. The football players’ actions were in response to racial tensions and issues on the campus of the University of Missouri. This is a very important story because it brings light to a benefit of college sports and athletes that is often overlooked by those who challenge college athletics, including myself. There is no denying that there is a huge amount of power tied up in college athletics. But usually this leads to negative consequences, the ramifications of which any student in North Carolina should be aware of. The obvious example of this would be the recent allegations (read : findings) of corruption at UNC-Chapel Hill. The situation with UNC-CH is very frustrating to anyone who cares about the merits of a serious attempt to educate the citizens of North Carolina and the country. It is an unfortunate situation with which we are all too familiar. What happened at UNC-CH shows

that the money and power involved in college athletics can be a catalyst for corruption within education and can distort the priorities of a university. When I learned about what has been going on at UNC-CH, I thought of this as a clear indicator for why college athletics could only result in negative consequences due to the power and money that is inherent in the system today. However, I had not considered that it was possible that this power could be used for good. This is why this story is impor ta nt. The student athletes of the University of Missour i recog ni zed the power that they had and used it for something that they believed in: They created leverage. The cont rac t bet ween Missour i and Brigham Young amplified the student athletes’ relevance since the school would have had to pay out $1 million in reparations if they decided to forfeit. The students did not think that the president had done enough to deal with the racial tensions at the university, and they used the clout they knew they had to force him to resign. This could lead to serious change for the better in terms of the racial tensions and issues at

{

IN YOUR WORDS

the University of Missouri. Whether or not the student athletes’ success here does result in significant change, this story shows the power that student athletes have and that it can be used to fight for a good cause. This is not an attempt to say now everything is fine with college athletics, and we should let them be. There is still too much power in the athletic department of many, if not most, schools within the United States that opens up the ability for individuals to corrupt the system and pervert the priorities in our universities. However, this is what the situation is currently: This power is quite real and both good and bad uses of this power are evidence of its existence. The case of UNC-CH exemplifies the bad use of this power while the situation with the athletes of the University of Missouri illustrates a good use of this power. While this is true, student athletes need to realize the serious power they have and be willing to use that power for causes that they believe in like the football players at the University of Missouri. These student athletes are a great model to follow for using that power for good.

Should students be required to learn about other cultures? BY KYLE CANTER

“Yes, they should be because it allows a better understanding of different views. I have lived within different cultures because of the military and it has made me a far more caring and understanding person.” Andrew Hardwick, freshman, English and creative writing

Regulation: the Root of the problem In Response to Mr. Root aniel Root published his second article in a series of four Tuesday. I have decided to provide some ideological William diversity and atMcLamb tempt to show the Guest Columnist dangers of placing faith in the power of government instead of ourselves. To begin with, I must say that advocating for government regulation necessarily means being in support of denying certain decisions to the citizenry so that the government may then make those decisions on their behalf. I hope to explain why freedom is more valuable than regulation. Root seems to misuse the term “laissez-faire capitalism.” In a capitalist system, all exchanges are mutually beneficial, excluding exchanges such as theft, coercion and other violent crimes. He claims that laissez-faire capitalism is not possible because it requires

D

all citizens to be informed on the products they are purchasing at all times. This is a valid argument when critiquing the heavily f lawed “perfectly competitive model,” but it does not hold its merit against the concepts of rational human action and mutually beneficial exchanges championed by the Austrian School of Economics. I had written an entire article dedicated to the subject, but for the sake of brevity, I will shorten my praxeological explanation. Because it is impossible to know why any person commits an act or why any person may want something, it must also be impossible for an observer to accurately prescribe to said person what is or ought to be valued by them. Essentially, you are the only person who can decide what is valuable to you. Therefore, if this holds true for all persons, the only people who can decide if an exchange is mutually Editor-in-Chief Kaitlin Montgomery technician-editor@ncsu.edu

beneficial are the people directly involved in the exchange at the time of its occurrence. Additionally, Ludwig von Mises’ theory of human action defines action as purposeful behavior and also defines a rational action as that which is taken in the earnest belief that it will obtain the desired results even if it does not. These two theories facilitate the concept of rational people freely engaging in mutually beneficial exchanges. This means people, free from coercion, will behave in ways which they believe will maximize their value/utility and will most likely seek out information to become more effective at increasing their value in each exchange, such as learning “where their steak was processed,” to put one of Root’s concerns to rest.

goods so as to prevent you from purchasing them, or to dictate the value of your labor or to take a percentage of every dollar you earn and spend it for you? Furthermore, the entire argument of needing government to protect property rights is selfcontradictory. This point is made abundantly clear in “Power and Market” by Murray N. Rothbard. Government must take your property from you in order to fund itself. If a de jure monopoly on coercive property confiscation is the best way to protect property rights, private ownership might as well be forfeited altogether. Have we forgotten so soon that it was government regulation which majorly violated self-ownership rights for so many years by prohibiting gay marriage? As for the tragedy of the commons described by Root, the shepherds should have realized, unless they were incompetent, that the

situation wasn’t sustainable. Splitting up the land evenly (or however they wanted) and maintaining their newly acquired property would have solved the problem by making them each personally responsible for a piece of the oncecommunal property. If anything, the tragedy of the commons is a condemnation of communism, seeing as private ownership of the land could have made the situation far more sustainable. Lastly, to state that the government answers to the people is completely incorrect. Voting someone into of f ice does not force him or her to pass only laws which the majority of the citizenry finds favorable. Furthermore, we can’t “fire” or stop using the government if we disapprove of its performance. We are forced to continue paying for its “services” under threat of imprisonment. The market caters to consumers. Government does not.

NC State’s first Global Entrepreneurship Week empowers students to create Noah Russ Staff Writer

THE RADAR You can already start off the holidays with a Christmas parade and Cranksgiving this weekend as well as enjoy a featured film at the North Carolina Museum of Art. Although exams, projects and presentations are just around the corner, parading, relaxing and biking can be enjoyed this weekend too.

Bundle up for the 71st annual WRAL Raleigh Christmas Parade Saturday at 9:30 a.m. This Christmas parade is the largest between Atlanta and Washington, D.C. and includes festive floats, bands, entertainers, animals and more. Starting at the corner of Hillsborough and St. Mary’s streets, this Christmas parade will continue 1.4 miles throughout downtown Raleigh. It will begin going east on Hillsborough, then turn south at the Capitol, east on Morgan and then a final turn down Fayetteville Street.

Enjoy a film at the North Carolina Museum of Art Friday at 7:30 p.m. To celebrate the recent unveiling of the renovated theater at the NCMA, the film “Citizen Kane” will be playing. More than the film itself, the theater is a site to see with its refurbished SECU Auditorium, all-new seating and a 2K digital cinema projection system. Possibly the best of all? Concessions are now allowed in the theater to better enjoy the film for the first time ever.

Wheel your way around Raleigh Sunday at 1 p.m. Oaks & Spokes is hosting the second annual mobile food drive, Cranksgiving. The ride starts off at Crank Arm Brewing where you bike around Raleigh to collect food donations that support Raleigh Rescue Mission. From grocery stores, to farmers markets, then back to Crank Arm, you’ll pick up hundreds of pounds of donations, including frozen turkeys, hams and more. You can still volunteer, though, even if biking isn’t your thing, and there’s also a raffle and some brews at the event.

For the first time, NC State is participating in Global Entrepreneurship Week, an initiative that encourages people all around the world to get involved in entrepreneurial ideas, drive economic growth and expand human welfare. The global initiative began in 2008 and has rapidly grown to include 25,000 events held in 160 different countries on six different continents. NC State will host more than 10 of these events. “This is the first year NC State is a participating campus in the global event,” said Elizabeth Benefield, director of the NC State Social Entrepreneurship Initiative. “This is hugely exciting, and I believe a reflection of the increasing interest in social entrepreneurship on our campus.” One of the key events of the week was the Social Entrepreneurship Student Summit, hosted Wednesday

by the Caldwell Fellows. The event, held in Hunt Library, launched NC State’s first student organization solely dedicated to bringing passionate students together with the goal of making a better campus environment and a better world. “The purpose of the Summit is to bring together likeminded individuals to create a new social-innovation culture on campus while energizing a student organization where all students can participate,” said Ashley Rabuck, a sophomore studying psychology and a Caldwell Fellow. After the summit, Kathryn Hall-Trujillo led a conversation discussing how students and workers can find their passions and purposes. Hall-Trujillo is the founder of Birthing Project USA, the only national African-American program that seeks to improve maternal and child healthcare. She is also an adjunct professor in the department of Global Community

Health and Behavioral Sciences at Tulane University. “Kathryn Hall-Trujillo is a prime example of social innovation and using her passion to purposefully make a difference in the lives around her,” Rabuck said. Other events throughout the week included the Innovation Hall Breakfast, which also featured Hall-Trujillo and an “Ask the Professor” meal at the East Village Grill on Hillsborough Street. Events continue through Friday and can be found on NC State’s Entrepreneurship Initiative webpage. Although this is NC State’s first year being involved in Global Entrepreneurship Week, Benefield said she sees great potential to make strong contributions to the entrepreneurial world. “NC State has the potential to become a significant campus participant in [Global Entrepreneurship Week] in the coming years,” Benefield said.

Abu was ferocious on the glass, grabbing nine boards and scoring 14 points. The Pack outrebounded the Jaguars 52-37 and outscored them 32-12 in the

paint. Three Jaguar players fouled out of the game, while four Jags picked up four fouls. But the Pack shot poorly from the free-throw line, converting only 23-of-39 attempts. “This game was close because we couldn’t make a foul shot,” Gottfried said. “We’ve got to be a lot better at the foul line. It’s real simple. We’ve

got good foul shooters, we spend a lot of time shooting foul shots every single day, but we can’t step up to the foul line and miss as many foul shots as we have and expect to be a really good team.” The Wolfpack travels to Brooklyn, New York to face Arizona State next Wednesday at Barclay’s Center.

Junior guard Anthony “Cat” Barber scored 19 points, freshman shooting guard Maverick Rowan added another 15 and the NC State basketball team defeated IUPUI 79-56 Wednesday night at PNC Arena. The Wolfpack (2-1) led for all but 46 seconds against the Jaguars (1-2) and was never really threatened. “It was a good win,” head coach Mark Gottfried said. “The most important thing from my perspective is from last Friday we got carved up like a side of fries, and then we got a little better on Sunday, and we were a little better today. I do see improvement.” Gottfried continued with his

primary seven-man rotation, with Barber, sophomore Caleb Martin, Rowan, sophomore Abdul-Malik Abu and junior Lennard Freeman getting their second-straight start. NC State came out of the gates hot in the first half but cooled late, putting up 38 points while shooting 45 percent from the field. Barber led all scorers with 12 points on 4-for-8 shooting and showed greater confidence in his pull-up jumper, which he struggled with in the previous two games. “You’ve just gotta keep shooting; sometimes it ain’t gonna go your way, but the coaches tell me to keep shooting no matter what and they are gonna fall,” Barber said. “So I came out tonight and was shooting the ball well, so I kept shooting and driving to the basket.” The Pack played excellent

defense, limiting IUPUI to just 38 percent shooting from the field, although a few clutch Jaguar threes kept them within reach. “The little guy [Darell] Combs, he was the focus for us,” Gottfried said. “Sometimes we kind of over helped, and they threw the ball back and made some threes. We felt like if he came in here and really struggled, they would have a hard time winning the game. And he had five points.” IUPUI’s junior forward Matt O’Leary led the way with 11 points for visitors, including three triples. The Pack cooled significantly in the last few minutes of the first, however, only making two of its last nine shots from the floor to carry a 38-27 lead into the break. In the second, State turned up the pressure and extended its lead, but the Jaguars got

back to within 10 thanks to a 6-for-8 run from the field while State went 1 for 7, and at the media timeout with 7:58 remaining the Wolfpack held a precarious 59-50 lead. But Caleb Martin roused the PNC crowd with a thunderous dunk and drained two free throws, and with less than seven minutes remaining, State would restore its double-digit lead. Abu added two with a strong play at the rim, and Barber added two from the line to make it 68-55 with 5:00 left. “We had our ups and downs, but with a young team like we are, we’re still trying to find out identity,” Abu said. “It was good. It felt like a long game but that’s what we need. We need more time, more experience just to find our identity and be a better team.” A dagger three from Rowan

State looks for 7th win of season Joseph Ochoa Staff Writer

Dear GTI Wolfie, I am from Japan and am taking classes at NC State this year. The Thanksgiving holiday is coming up soon and I have been invited to spend the long weekend with an American family. But I am very nervous. I have never been in an American home before and I don’t know what to wear or bring or how the family will be. Can you give me some advice? Nervous from Nagoya Dear Nervous, It can be tricky to say exactly what to expect because American families are so different, but generally families dress up a little more for Thanksgiving. Dress like you were going on a first date; fancier than sweatpants and more casual than a tuxedo. Unless the family specified that they are having a potluck dinner, you aren’t required to bring any sort of dish. As far as a gift, it may be nice to bring a small token of appreciation to the family. A simple arrangement of flowers or a thank you card is always a nice touch. All families are different, but many American families say grace, or pray, before they eat their meal. If you do not share their religious beliefs, you don’t have to participate. Just bow your head respectfully until the prayer is over. And don’t be afraid to ask questions! If you have allergies or dietary restrictions, it is perfectly acceptable to ask what a dish contains or how it is prepared. Have a great Thanksgiving with your American family, and remember that CENet is a great way to get to know even more Americans. There are great events coming next semester. Visit go.ncsu.edu/CENet for more information. Ganbatte!

This weekend, the NC State football team will take on the Syracuse Orange in its penultimate game of the 2015 season. The matchup will feature two teams that have significantly cooled since starting the season white-hot. The Orange (3-7, 1-6 ACC) visits a struggling Wolfpack (6-4, 2-4 ACC) team that has not been consistent since the start of the year. After rocketing out to a 4-0 start, the Pack has struggled to get any momentum going, losing four of its last six games. Head coach Dave Doeren is happy to be back at CarterFinley Stadium after playing six of the last eight games on the road. “It’s great to be back at home this week,” Doeren said at his Monday press conference. “We’ve had six of the last eight games on the road, so it’s nice to be back at home, especially for Military Appreciation Week.” The following week will be a matchup with the No. 17 UNC-Chapel Hill and the potential to solidify the team’s bowl positioning. Despite the impending game with the Tar Heels and a bowl game, Doeren will try to keep his team focused on the task at hand. “I would hope that we don’t look ahead,” Doeren said. “They just played great against Clemson Saturday, so I definitely think that will get our guys’ attention. All of our attention is focused on getting win number seven this week.” In the most recent game against Florida State, the Wolfpack jumped out to an early 17-7 lead in Tallahassee, Florida, but failed to score after the first quarter and fell to the Seminoles 34-17. Despite the loss, Doeren remained optimistic, focusing on the positives from the game. “I was excited about the way we started

Redshirt senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett fakes the handoff and looks downfield to attempt a throw against the Clemson defense. Brissett finished the game with three touchdowns and 254 yards on 24-of-41 throwing as well as eight carries for 34 yards and a rushing touchdown. The Wolfpack fell to the Tigers 56-41 in CarterFinley Stadium at NC State, on Oct. 31.

in the first half,” Doeren said. “Our defense also played well; we forced some turnovers in the game.” Syracuse, much like the Wolfpack, has been struggling after a quick start to the season. Even though Syracuse started the season 3-0 with an early conference win, the Orange has failed to capitalize, losing the last seven games, including a 37-27 to No. 1 Clemson. Despite the recent struggles, Doeren acknowledged that Syracuse should not be taken lightly. “We’re playing a Syracuse team that played Clemson tough,” Doeren said. “They are starting their third-string quarterback, but he played very well when the team played against LSU early this year.” The group to watch for the Orange will be not the defense or the offense, but the special teams unit. The Orange are third in the conference in terms of punt

return yards, and according to Doeren, run trick plays on punts and field goal attempts. As for the Wolfpack, senior defensive end Mike Rose will look to make his impact on the game. The Fountain Inn, South Carolina native has registered 10.5 sacks through 10 games and is considered a candidate for first team All-ACC. Doeren also recognized the stellar season the defensive end is having. “I hope he gets conference recognition for his performance,” Doeren said. “In the league, [Rose] is one of the best defensive ends.” The Wolfpack and the Orange meet Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium, with both teams hoping to have their homestretch of the season end on a strong note. After, the Pack hosts arch-rival UNC-Chapel Hill for a showdown in the regular season finale for both teams.
