Raleigh,North NorthCarolina Carolina Raleigh,

SG urges Raleigh to replace Columbus Day Gavin Stone Assistant News Editor

Ian Grice Correspondent

Rachel Smith Assistant News Editor

NC State has yet to recognize a resolution the bill passed by student government last Spring that would replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day. However, students on campus still celebrated the federally unrecognized holiday.

The Indigenous Peoples’ Day Celebration Act was passed by the 94th Session of Student Senate and signed by former Student Body President Rusty Mau last spring. The bill expressed student support for a day to formally acknowledge the experience of the people that lived in the Americas long before Christopher Columbus arrived.

The Faculty Senate narrowly passed a resolution to support student government’s resolution in March, after much debate, nine in favor with eight against and one abstention. The Staff Senate has not yet discussed the resolution.

“I think that’s fantastic, it’s a really widely debated topic,” said Karli Moore, the senator who introduced the Indigenous Peoples’ Day Celebration Act and a member of the Lumbee tribe of North Carolina. “Personally I don’t think it’s controversial – I think that it’s plain as day, but it’s proven over and over to be pretty controversial so I expect there to be division.”

Student senators attempted to go through the University Calendar Committee to make the change; however, the committee only oversees changes to the academic calendar.

“I think it would be a good discussion for [the calendar committee] to have there and decide whether they want to act on it or not,” Moore said. “We ran out of time this year but it will be an avenue we try this year.”

If Raleigh City Council passes the resolution it will not be unprecedented, Seattle’s city council unanimously voted to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day in the summer of 2014, according to NPR. Chancellor Randy Woodson was invited to the 1490 Who? panel Monday but could not attend. Mike Mullen, vice chancellor and dean for the division of academic and student affairs was in attendance.

Moore, communicated with a member of the Staff Senate who introduced it to the senate but did not hear from them since last Spring.

As part of Diversity Education Week, NC State celebrated Indigenous Peoples’ Day yesterday with several events planned out by the American Indian Advisory Council.

“Over the summer the idea went to the American Indian Advisory Council at NC State and that is made up of students, faculty, staff and alumni.

We talked about [Indigenous Peoples’ Day] and planned out activities for [it],” Moore said.

The largest event was 1490 Who?, a panel discussion with professors from NC State, UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC Pembroke about the colonization of the Americas and the “discovery” of America by Columbus.

In Wolf Plaza there was a petition signing event for Raleigh to recognize Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Physical signatures were being collected in the Brickyard and there will be an online form available for two weeks for students and Raleigh residents to sign.

“Student Government is facilitating a petition to Raleigh City Council to change Columbus day to Indigenous Peoples day, the petition was written by native students at NC state,” Moore said.

After the petition is closed, the information will be sent to the Raleigh City Council in the hopes that it will add changing the name of the holiday

to the agenda, Moore said.

“We’ll be circulating that and hopefully get a lot of signatures from NC State but also the Raleigh area in general,” Moore said.

University Dining held an Indigenous North American dinner in Clark dining hall as part of the Indigenous peoples’ day celebration.

Rodney Strickland, a member of the Lumbee tribe, president of the Native American Student Association and a freshman studying political science,

said that the support of the university would mean a great deal to the less than 100 Native American students on NC State’s campus.

“I think a lot of people blindly follow normal traditions in our culture,” Strickland said. “Being a Native American myself, my parents told me growing up that what you read in history books isn’t always true because there’s a different perspective that’s not told.”

NC State’s Native American Student Affairs hosted 1490 Who?, a forum where college professors discussed the issues around changing Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Monday at Talley Student Union.

Keith Richotte Jr., an assistant professor of American studies at UNC-Chapel Hill, spoke on the life of indigenous peoples today and their portrayal in media.

One point Richotte focused on heavily was “the idea of the Indian.” He describes it as a caricature of the indigenous peoples.

“Until we root this guy up, we’re going to continue to be in this difficult situation,” Richotte said.

R ichotte stated that United States citizens know very little about both the history of the indigenous peoples and how they live today.

“We don’t see natives as contemporary human beings; everyone knows who the Indian is, but that’s an idea,” Richotte said.

The speakers sought to express more than just the renaming of a day. They told a tale of a people who are often ignored or misrepresented in today’s American society.

“To commemorate Columbus Day means to deny the genocide of indigenous peoples that Columbus initiated while celebrating its consequences,” said Judy Kertész, an assistant History professor at NC State.

Kertész spoke on recent disputes about the use of the word “genocide” in describing the interaction between colonists and the indigenous peoples. Kertész also discussed the loss of language and religion that the indigenous peoples have experienced, as well as the raping and assault committed against them by the colonists.

All of the speakers stressed that although the colonization occurred so long ago, the way the events are treated in American culture is still important today.

University Dining celebrated NC State’s f irst Indigenous Peoples’ Day Monday with an Indigenous North America Dinner at Clark Dining Hall by cooking an authentic Native American feast.

The dinner was a way to better understand the food of Native American culture.

“I liked it because it’s the occasion to experience something I normally wouldn’t have a chance to,” said Adam Bowen, a freshman studying life science. “It’s a way to open to new experiences.”

Jordyne Blaise, a member of the Office for Institutional and Diversity said she never had tried indigenous food before the dinner.

“I wanted to try the food but also participate and get involved in Native American awareness,” Blaise said.

Native American Student Affairs, a unit of Multicultural Students Affairs collaborated with University Dining to create the menu. Lisa Eberhart, a registered dietitian for University Dining said it was important for this meal to be authentic for Indigenous Peoples’ Day. For this special dinner, Executive Catering Chef Mack Bell was asked to adapt the recipes to fit within a certain budget. Some dishes served at the feast – such as the vegan pumpkin soup, the cedar smoked salmon and the pork loin – were new additions to the recipe system at NC State’s dining halls. “[It was] is a special day to showcase a special occasion,” said Jasmine Omorogbe, Assistant Director for Multicultural Student Affairs. “I’m glad to help promoting the Indigenous Peoples’ Day as a campus.”

NC State to develop sustainable agriculture in Cuba Daniella Abella Correspondent

The NC State College of Agriculture, along with the National Corporation of Ecology and Environment Management, have taken the initiative to study and develop new techniques for sustainable agriculture in Cuba.

Now that relations between the US and Cuba have resumed, the Delegation of Sustainable Agriculture of North Carolina has seen an opportunity for exchange that would benefit the development of agriculture in both countries. Although agriculture in Cuba goes back to primitive techniques, it offers the opportunity to develop a method for sustainable organic agriculture in North Carolina.

“The delegation came to the is-

land in order to explore the needs of Cuban agriculture and future commercial opportunities,” said Larry Wooten, president of the North Carolina Agricultural Bureau, to the Cuban News Agency.

“But more than a market-oriented visit, their presence here is in tune with the need to foster bilateral relations and dialogue.”

Dean of College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Richard Linton has travelled to Cuba with the Delegation of Sustainable Agriculture of North Carolina in order to exchange knowledge and promote ecological understanding to develop organic agriculture and safe food farming.

Ultimately, this initiative will not only contribute to the development of sustainable agriculture in North Carolina; this exchange would also benefit other factors related to the

agricultural business in general, such as equipment manufacturers and food processors.

“Farmers, agribusiness, and food processors could benefit; equipment manufacturers, seed and chemical manufacturers, I mean it’s all facets of agriculture,” said Rich Linton in an interview with ABC11. “This visit represents the first and most important step to establish a relationship, which is to know each other and define the potential of each.”

From a more extensive point of view, this exchange would also contribute to the economic development of the island, since the Cuban agricultural production, like its economy, has ceased progressively through the years of dictatorship.

Due to the nationalization of all financial sectors, Cubans have been forced to seek new alternatives lead-

ing to innovations in almost primitive circumstances.

“If we hadn’t gone organic, we’d have starved!” said Miguel Salcines López, founder of Organoponico Vivero Alamar, an organic farm in Havana.

However, the island is still far from achieving self-sufficiency in agriculture, let alone any other economic sector.

“A major sector of interest for future investment is the tourist sector” Wooten said to a reporter from the Cuban News Agency. “It’s important for Cuban economy and the growing arrivals of tourists from around the world, particularly after the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between Havana and Washington.”

The decades of dictatorship in Cuba have impeded the economic

development of the Caribbean island. Cuban soils remain almost completely untouched and free of chemicals. Therefore, the initiative of the Delegation of Sustainable Agriculture in North Carolina could also contribute to the development of the agricultural market in Cuba by introducing new technologies and knowledge.

The aim of the delegation is not to develop the same agriculture system used in the United States, but to exchange knowledge and develop a new method of sustainable organic agriculture for which it would be worth stitching old wounds and overcome dissents between nations.

Scholarships aim to fund minority study abroad Victoria Rice Correspondent

NC State’s Study Abroad Office offers scholarships for minority groups to study abroad, like the Travel Scholars program and Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship. The scholarships aim to target underrepresented groups, including first-generation college students from any ethnic background.

The Travel Scholars Program recipients will receive up to $2500 towards credit-bearing study abroad courses. Applications will be reviewed Nov. 15, 2015, and top candidates will then be selected for interviews. The Travel Scholars Program also focuses on encouraging these students to go abroad by providing information about how much of an impact the experience can have.

“When I was in college I didn’t go abroad because I was worried about finishing school on time, keeping my job, and obligations to my family,” said Blair Kelley, the assistant professor for interdisciplinary studies and international programs in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. “That’s one of the biggest regrets I have of my undergraduate

experience.”

“Studies have shown that with students from underrepresented groups, study abroad is actually very impactful to their trajectory,” Kelley said. “They’re more likely to graduate, to go on to employment, and to be satisfied with the things they’re doing on campus because of their time abroad.”

Lisa Redfearn, a senior studying marketing, discussed the potential of culture shock traveling abroad and how it can vary depending on the destination.

“I traveled to Hong Kong and it was definitely a culture shock because in Asia they don’t see many black people so you could be the first one,” Redfearn said.

Jamael Harrison, a second year graduate student studying higher education administration, completed his 2012 Capstone project in Ghana.

“Don’t be afraid,” Harrison said.

“If you know you want to go to Europe or you want to go to Africa, don’t let anything stop you. Do it.

We get misconceptions of Africa through the media and I began to realize we have a lot more in common with these countries than we think.”

we turn our back on colonialism,” said Jay Hansford C. Vest, a professor of American Indian studies at UNC-Pembroke.

Vest described what life was like for the indigenous peoples before the arrival of colonists on the American continents.

“What I really try to show is the rich nature of [the indigenous peoples’] cultures,” Vest said. “Their presence has been much longer than people thought. These were rich and complex cultures here before the Europeans got here.”

Vest spoke of engineering feats that the indigenous people accomplished long before the colonists. These include utilizing passive solar heating in order to control temperatures in houses and the invention of goggles.

As a call on the audience to further their knowledge on the indigenous people Richotte asked, “Where have we gotten our information, and how have we learned about them?”

Richotte provided an answer to his own question, rooting it in education and a desire to understand the issue.

“In order to get people to understand that the issues that have been going on remain, […] it’s going to take a lot of education and a lot of work to address the underlying issues in the law that continue to affect how native people live and exist today,” Richotte said.

Fire Dave Doeren: why we need a change F

riday night has come and gone, and with it, another ACC loss in a game that appeared to be winnable. There are many things we can blame the loss on: the weather interfering Catherine with warmups, VirginRoot ia Tech’s need for a win, Guest Columnist Hakim Jones’ injury, coming off a tough loss or our lack of preparedness due to early season scheduling.

Although the schedule cannot be blamed on head coach Dave Doeren, hopefully the next coach will see the shortcomings of scheduling an FCS team along with three (two in the coming years only because it’s required to play a Power 5) non-Power 5 opponents every year, and might try to talk athletic director Debbie Yow into better preparing our team for ACC play.

However, if all these things went away, I still believe we would have lost the game Friday night. It’s not for lack of talent, we have no shortage of talent. Jacoby Brissett is currently predicted to be one of the top five senior quarterbacks in the ACC and has a legitimate shot at the NFL. We have a multitude of strong, fast running backs and a high-caliber offensive line.

The defense is solid and has several big playmakers, many of whom are potential NFL players. The reason we did not win Friday night is simple — coaching.

Some people will say it’s only his third year, that it takes time to build a program and that he has improved substantially, but it’s simply not enough. The NC State Wolfpack could be a top tier football team.

Going into this season, we had the talent to win the ACC and we still have the talent to, but I have come to the realization that

I

it is simply not going to happen.

We don’t have the coaching to be able to compete at the top level. Yes, Dave Doeren has gotten wins, but has he gotten good ones? This season, the answer has been no. Three ACC wins last year was an improvement from his previous winless ACC season, but still not living up to the potential that this team has. Many State fans will be content with this ho-hum schedule because we can make it to a bowl game, albeit a low-caliber one, but we could be so much more. With our run game and Jacoby Brissett’s ability to make plays, we were able to compete with the number one team in the nation last year; we then lost three straight games. Something there does not add up. The only thing lacking is coaching.

If you cannot get your team excited and ready to play every game for the entire game, then you deserve to be fired, plain and simple. We are not seeing results and we do not look competitive throughout entire games. Friday night we failed to show up after the first quarter. Yes, there were some sparks here and there, but the first fifteen minutes of play was the only time we looked like a complete football team, the football team that we have the potential to be all of the time. The first fifteen minutes discounted many of the excuses we can try to blame this loss on.

Yes, it is only Dave Doeren’s third year and it takes time to build a program, but it is time to see some results. The only way this will happen any time soon is if we fire Dave Doeren and find someone who can utilize our talent to its fullest potential.

‘I cannot live without books’

n an 1815 letter to John Adams, Thomas Jefferson wrote, “I cannot live without books.” Jefferson was a bibliophile par excellence. Indeed his granddaughter, Ellen Wayles Randolph, recalled that “books were at all times… [Jefferson’s] Daniel Root chosen companions.”

Staff Columnist Over the course of his life, Jefferson amassed no fewer than three libraries. His first collection, started in his youth, was destroyed by fire in 1770.

The second, and largest, ran to 7,000 volumes. This library was sold to the Library of Congress to serve as a basis for rebuilding this national library after its destruction in the War of 1812. Today, many of Jefferson’s books can be seen on display in the Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress. However, the collection is incomplete as many books were lost in a fire in 1851.

It was after this sale that Jefferson wrote his letter to Adams wherein the former expressed his need for books.

Jefferson began to construct a new library of his personal favorites. By the time Jefferson died in 1826, this library had grown to around 2,000 volumes.

Jefferson was — along with Theodore Roosevelt — one of the best-read presidents that America has ever had.

As far as books go, Jefferson is a man after my own heart. I am an incurable bibliophile. Limitations of space and money prevent me from amassing books on Jefferson’s scale. Yet I have managed to collect over 200 volumes so far. My books are my most prized possessions.

I am able to share the sentiments of author and book collector Duncan Fallowell, who said “I can’t stop acquiring books. It’s a kind of necessity. But I’m not guilty about it. Books to me are like oxygen. I am a fish swimming in an aquarium of the intellect.”

My library is quite eclectic: I have a 1903 edition of Alexander Pope’s poems, an 1874 edition of “The Life and Explorations of Dr. Livingstone,” the King James Version of the Bible, Christopher Hitchens’ “Letters to a Young Contrarian,” the complete eight volumes of “The

Encyclopedia of Philosophy,” a 1938 edition of Lawrence of Arabia’s memoir and many more. The only common theme is that they are all in a physical copy, and most are even hardcover.

Electronic books do nothing for me. I do not consider the things on e-readers books; they should be physical objects constructed of paper with words or images printed on them and bound together into a volume. A Kindle, or whatever abomination people use now, does not fit that definition. Words upon a lighted screen do not a book make.

My hatred of e-books is not solely aesthetic — although that is a large part of it. There are manifold ways physical books are superior to “screen books.”

According to a Huffington Post article from last February, people better connect emotionally with print and tend to retain more of what is read when it comes from physical print. Additionally, e-book readers present a constant distraction from the other ways these viewing platforms could be utilized.

Lastly, the bright light that emanates from many e-readers’ screens can upset sleep cycles, especially if the e-readers are used immediately before bed.

It would really be a shame if books were to disappear. Digital media are so much more ephemeral than the printed word. Books survived the advent of recorded sound, film, television and the Internet. It would be regrettable if books finally met their end by the hands of a small, slate-sized contraption.

Fortunately, the Huffington Post article referenced above offers hope when saying “Don’t lament the lost days of cutting your fingers on pristine new novels or catching a whiff of that magical, transportive old book smell just yet! A slew of recent studies shows that print books are still popular, even among millennials.” It really is nice to hear good news for a change. Perhaps bibliophiles — like Jefferson and me — do not have to be worried about their nightmares of a world without books becoming, in the words of Percy Bysshe Shelley, “like life and fear, a dark reality.”

Debunking the ‘Asian advantage’ A

sian-Americans have long been considered the “model of minority” of the United States, their prevailing reputation framing them as highly educated, hardworking and quiescent.

Recently, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote an op-ed asserting that Asian-AmerZiyi Mai icans are the most Staff Columnist successful minority in the United States, by the measure that Asian-Americans on average earn more than any other ethnic groups, including whites, and that they have more higher education than any other groups.

Mr. Kristof offered several reasons why Asian-Americans are so successful in an effort to advise white Americans that they should “stop whining and start working” like Asians. He cited a scholarly book, “The Asian American Achievement Paradox” by Jennifer Lee and Min Zhou, that suggested that the most important factor contributing to the success of Asian-Americans is education.

Many Asian immigrants started their lives as students in America, and then graduated as young scientists, engineers, doctors and other professionals. It is not surprising that Asian-Americans earn more than other races because of their occupations.

Of course, Asia being a big place, the Asian-Americans that Kristof referred to are mostly immigrants from East Asia — China and Korea and their posteriors. The Chinese and Koreans have a strong passion for education due to the teaching of Confucius tracing back thousands of years. But the perception of edu-

as incompetent and less likely to succeed.

Though highly valuing higher education and professionalism, Asian-Americans as a whole are not able to go far in mainstream.

Asian-Americans are usually under-represented at the very top of the tree. According to a study of Fortune 500 CEOs by Richard Zweigenhaft of Guilford College, in 2000, eight out of 500 CEOs were Asian; in 2014, only ten were. In Academia, colleges and universities are stuffed with Asian professors, but there are fewer than ten Asian-American presidents in more than 3000 colleges. Thanks to their extended lack of freedom and democracy, Asians generally do not believe in politics and do not think they as citizens can bring change in this way. These views have been passed down from one generation to the next, causing Asian-Americans often to be apathetic toward politics and leadership.

The lack of political representation locally and nationally results in a false impression that enforces discrimination against AsianAmericans. Lawmakers might not deliberately discriminate against Asian-Americans when making laws, but since their voices are unheard, their interests are ignored and cannot be defended.

It is true that hard work and education have brought success and prosperity to Asian-Americans so far. But at the same time, the mere pursuit of wealth as an insurance of security has also become a bottleneck for the minority to overcome in attempting to further climb the social ladder. From this perspective, Asian-Americans better learn from the whites, not the other way around.

cation in East Asia has long been changing; it is radically different from the purposes that Confucius emphasizes — to raise individual intellect, to promote the ambition to contribute to the country and to sufficiently provide for the needs of the family. Unfortunately, many of the traditional perceptions on education are long gone. The majority of East Asians today, including their relatives in America, have become materially motivated. Education is not a means to seek truth, but a tool to survive in society.

Perhaps wealth has become the only measure of success in East Asia, and the Asian-American community shares many similarities in this aspect. Driven by earning money, Asian students are taught that high grades and awards can be earned by hard work, having little to do with one’s talent.

That’s why there’s a stereotype that an “A-” is an Asian failure.

Chinese and Korean parents are usually willing to sacrifice a lot to guarantee that their kids obtain the best education and don’t lag behind other kids. Many Asian kids’ academic successes are at the cost of a pleasant childhood, which is filled with high intensity of homework and a variety of extracurricular classes. Compared to other American students, Asian students are pushed to be hardworking rather than to explore their interests.

When it comes to choosing majors and professions in college, many Asian parents act as authoritarians, persuading their children to study highly professionalized majors — medical school, law, business and engineering. Choosing majors that have less potential income such as social work, art, history, etc. might be regarded

Nueva colaboración dismune separación digital Caitlin Neal Corresponsal

Teaming for Technology de United Way of the Greater Triangle ha formado una colaboración con Univisión para expandir su misión de proveer recursos digitales para familias latinas por su programa, La Familia Technology Awareness Program.

Este programa ha dado más que 25.000 computadoras renovadas en precios extremadamente rebajados para escuelas y organizaciones sin fines de lucro desde la costa hasta las montañas de Carolina del Norte desde 2004. Con esta nueva colaboración, su meta es expandir sus números a las casas de las familias latinas en el área Triángulo.

“La colaboración entre Univisión y United Way es emocionante porque estamos extendiendo a una

nueva audiencia,” dijo Edwin Jeffords, el oficial de información principal de United Way y el director de Teaming for Technology.

“Es un nuevo foco para las fa mi lias. Norma lmente, cada computadora regalada a una escuela puede impactar cinco a 10 personas. Nuestra nueva meta de dar computadoras adicionalmente a familias hispanas es un impacto diferente porque tiene un efecto generacional. Estamos tratando de levantar las generaciones como una entidad; abuelos, padres y niños.”

Con Univisión siendo la quinta mayor cadena de televisión en los Estados Unidos alcanzando 94,1 millones de hogares, este red tiene un plataforma importante en la comunidad hispana.

“Una gran parte de la misión para Univisión es no solamente para entretener

e informar sino fortalecer,” dijo Irene Caicedo Gonzalez, la vicepresidenta de marketing y comunicaciones y la directora de fortalecimiento de comunidad de Univisión de Carolina del Norte.

Con la visión de fortalecimiento, Univisión creó Clave al éxito, un recurso en línea que ayuda familias hispanas con consejos de cómo manejar situaciones cotidianas.

Por ejemplo, para ayudar familias a entender cuál nivel sus niños debería estar en la escuela, ayudar a monitorizar la lectura de los estudiantes y ofrecer plantillas de cartas que se pueden traducir a inglés para comunicar con los enseñadores.

La colaboración de Clave al éxito de Univisión y Teaming for Technology de United Way crean un dúo poderoso.

Cuando una familia tiene una computadora, un mundo de oportunidad y recur-

sos está abierto. Las familias no solamente pueden utilizar los recursos en la internet que son esenciales para Clave al éxito, sino también pueden ser educadas sobre la tecnología, que ha parecido a llegar a ser vital para la vida cotidiana en los Estados Unidos, por La Technology Awareness Program.

“Educación es la clave para romper el ciclo de pobreza,” dijo Caicedo Gonzalez. “Con más escuelas públicas dependiendo en la tecnología, estudiantes latinos están cayendo detrás. Cuando los sistemas de escuelas empiezan a usar el correo electrónico como una función de comunicación, los padres sin acceso de computadoras están dejados afuera de las vidas de sus estudiantes, están dejados afuera de las oportunidades de participar. No pueden abogar por su niño. Hay un lapso de

entendimiento del sistema de las escuelas, idiomas y en general una desigualdad.”

Ahora, por la colaboración de Univisión, United Way, los voluntarios, los negocios y las organizaciones sin fines de lucro, la comunidad de Carolina del Norte puede crear igualdad por tecnología para las familias hispanas. Junto con un precio bajísimo por la computadora, la única otra expectación para los padres y los niños es asistir un curso de entrenamiento básico sobre cómo usar la tecnología nueva. Los cursos serán mensuales, después de los principios de noviembre.

Por lo tanto, mucho esfuerzo de la comunidad será necesario para realizar la demanda de las computadoras, según a Jeffords. Los voluntarios bilingües y biculturales son necesarios para ayudar con los cursos

de entrenamiento básicos de las computadoras para las familias latinas. Además, cualquier voluntario ayudaría en ensamblar las computadoras renovadas, con ningun conocimiento profundo de computadoras o habilidades tecnológicas, según a Caicedo Gonzalez.

“No sabemos cómo grande este nuevo programa será y no tenemos un límite de cuantos computadoras daremos a las familias,” dijo Jeffords.

Mientras tecnología continua a infiltrar las vidas, es importante que esfuerzos como Teaming for Technology y Clave al éxito están mantenidos para disminuir la división digital, según a Caicedo Gonzalez.

“Muchas familias hispanas creen que las computadoras son objetos de lujo pero en realidad son necesarias,” dijo Caicedo Gonzalez.

Participantes pintan retratos en la pared de una camioneta en el Festival Latinoamericano de Charlotte. Era para epitomizar los varios rastros que representan la identidad latina.

Festival celebra su vigésimo quinto año con gran música Miguel Sanchez Escritor de Personal

“Q u i mba r a qu i mba r a quma quimbamba. Quimbara quimbara quma quimbamba,” Esto fue el sonido que dio la bienvenida a los asistentes en el veintiquinto anual Festival Latinoamericano por la tarde temprana en domingo.

Sonidos de salsa del gran Ismael Miranda, leyenda en el terreno de salsa y recién nominado para los Latin Grammys, junto con una amplia variedad de otros grupos que incluyó el grupo venezolano, Los Crema Paraíso, conocidos por su estilo joropo y sus riffs únicos por guitarra. Los Crema Paraíso también tocó en el RuidoFest en Chicago este verano, un festival parecido a Lollapalooza pero para el escenario de rock y alternativo latino.

El caramelo de verdad era el regreso de Aterciopelados, un grupo de rock Colombiano que ha ganado varios Latin Grammys. Andrea Echeverri, la vocalista del grupo, aún se marchó por los aficionados durante una de sus canciones antes de regresar al escenario.

Después, Andrea y Conéc-

tor se quedaron para firmar autógrafos y sacar fotos con sus hinchas.

La tarde de domingo se sintió un gran aumento de asistentes en comparación con el primer día del festival, lo cual fue inundado por la lluvia que paró a mucha gente de salir afuera.

Los que asistieron al primer día vieron una falta de vendedores, pero no de música.

Ba ka lao Stars abrió la noche y le energizó a la gente con su mezcla de letras energizadas y solos de saxo y guitarra eléctrica. Ana Tijoux, ganadora de un Latin Grammy y reconocido mundialmente por su trabajo en hip hop, le regaló una presentación especial después del acto primero, tocando éxitos de su álbum más reciente, “Vengo”. Ella también presentó su sencillo exitoso, “1977”, lo cual ha sido escuchado en el soundtrack de “Breaking Bad” y FIFA. Pa nteón Rococó, u na banda ska que toca un crisol especial de rock, salsa, jazz y otros géneros, encabezó el reparto en sábado.

Roberto Rosales, un anter ior p osg r adu ado en f isiología que trabaja en Durham como asistente de salud, disfrutó del sentimiento que le puso Pan-

teón a la gente. “De verdad, nunca los había escuchado, pero mientras pasaba el día, Bakalao Stars empezó todo ... y entonces tocó Ana Tijoux, la cual era más tranquila pero pura chida ... y después Panteón Rococó salió y fue en fuego, rockeando, animándole a la gente,” dijo Rosales. “Pero lo que llamó atención es cómo se apasionan por su patria.

Son apasionados sobre los eventos que están pasando en México ... verlos defender esas causas, y todavía asegurar que se la pase bien la gente; eso es lo que más me gustó.”

Cada año, La Coalición y la Latin American Women’s Association [LAWA] organizan el evento para apoyar sus programas para el gran á re a me t ropol it a no de Charlotte.

“C ó m o o r g a n i z a c i ó n hermana con La Coalición, hacemos esto cada año para apoyar nuestros programas.

Estos programas incluyen becas para los estudiantes aspirando ir a la universidad, junto con tutoring y mentoring en las escuelas públicas,” dijo Violeta Moser, directora ejecutiva para LAWA. Moser concede que aunque tienen que luchar

con el tiempo todos los años, se ha vuelto mucho más fácil de atraer talento al festival desde que empezó hace 25 años.

“Por los varios años de éxito con este festival, lo cual atrajo 25.000 personas a su pico, los artistas han estado escuchando sobre el festival para los cinco años pasados. Es el festival más grande del sureste. También tenemos un gran líder, Tony Arreaza, y Tony ha sido bien involucrado con estos grupos, ya que él es músico también,” dijo Moser.

Además de los va r ios grupos musicales y presentaciones de danza, muchos vendedores estuviero para presentar programas disponibles a la comunidad local y para vender comida que incluía platos bien conocidos como pupusas y tacos también con los menos conocidos como mangonadas y platos tradicionales de la Isla de Encanto.

La facultad de agronomía y ciencias bilógicas de NC State, junto con la Corporación Nacional de la Gestión de la Ecología y el Medio Ambiente, ha tomado la iniciativa de estudiar nuevas técnicas de agricultura sustentable en Cuba.

Ahora que las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y Cuba podrían ser reanudadas, la Delegación de Agricultura Sustentable de Carolina del Norte ha visto la oportunidad de intercambio entre los dos países que beneficiaría el desarrollo de la agricultura en ambos países. A pesar de que la agricultura en Cuba se remonta a técnicas primitivas, estas ofrecen la oportunidad de desarrollar una agricultura orgánica sustentable en Carolina del Norte.

“La delegación vino a la isla con el objetivo de explorar las necesidades de la agricultura cubana y futuras oportunidades comerciales” dijo Larry Wooten, presidente del departamento de agricultura de Carolina del Norte, a la agencia cubana de noticias. “Pero más que una visita orientada hacia el mercado, su presencia aquí tiene que ver con la necesidad de fomentar el diálogo y las relaciones bilaterales.”

El decano de la facultad de agronomía y ciencias bilógicas Rich Linton ha ido a Cuba junto con la Delegación de Agricultura Sustentable de Carolina del Norte con el objetivo de intercambiar conocimientos y promover el entendimiento ecológico para desarrollar la agricultura orgánica y la cosecha de alimentos inocuos.

A la larga, esta iniciativa no solo aportaría al desarrollo de una agricultura sustentable en Carolina del Norte, sino que también beneficiará a factores relacionados con el negocio agropecuario en general, como fábricas de herramientas, procesadoras de alimentos, y productoras de semillas y químicos para la agricultura.

“Agricultores, el negocio agropecuario, las procesadoras de alimentos se podrían beneficiar, fábricas de herramientas, procesadoras de semillas y químicos, creo que serían todas la facetas de la agricultura.” dijo Linton en una ent-

revista para abc11. “Esta visita constituye el primer y más importante paso para el establecimiento de una relación, que es conocernos mutuamente y precisar las potencialidades de cada cual.”

Desde un punto de vista mas extenso, este intercambio contribuiría también al desarrollo económico de la isla, ya que la producción agropecuaria cubana, al igual que su economía, ha ido cesando progresivamente a través de los años de dictadura. Debido a la estatización de todos los sectores financieros, los cubanos se han visto obligados a buscar nuevas alternativas de subsistencia, dando lugar a innovaciones en circunstancias cercanas a primitivas. “¡Si no hubiésemos ido por el lado orgánico, nos habríamos muerto de hambre!” dijo Miguel Salcines López, fundador del “Vivero Alamar” un organopónico en La Habana.

Sin embargo, la isla esta aún lejos de lograr autosuficiencia en el sector agropecuario, menos aún cualquier otro sector económico.

“Otro sector de gran interés para futuras inversiones es el sector turístico” dijo Wooten a un reportero Cubano de la Agencia de noticias cubanas. “Su importancia para la economía cubana y la creciente llegada de turistas de alrededor del mundo, particularmente después del restablecimiento de relaciones diplomáticas entre La Habana y Washington.”

Debido a las varias décadas de dictadura en Cuba que han impedido el desarrollo económico de la isla caribeña, los suelos cubanos permanecen casi completamente vírgenes y libres de productos químicos.

Por lo cual la iniciativa de la delegación de agricultura sustentable de Carolina del Norte también aportaría al desarrollo del mercado agropecuario en Cuba, al introducir nuevas tecnologías y conocimientos.

El objetivo de la delegación de agricultura sustentable no es desarrollar el mismo sistema agropecuario que hay en Estados Unidos, sino unir fuerzas entre las naciones para lograr un método de agricultura orgánica sustentable por el que valdría la pena suturar viejas heridas y superar el disentimiento entre naciones.

coast to the mountains of North Carolina since 2004.

With this new partnership, its goal is to expand and increase its mission, reaching the homes to Latino families in the Triangle area.

“The partnership between Univision and United Way is exciting because we are reaching a new audience,” said Edwin Jeffords, chief information officer at United Way and manager of Teaming for Technology. “It is a new focus on families. Normally, each computer given to a school can impact five people. Our new goal of additionally giving computers to Hispanic families has a different impact as it has a multi-generational effect. We are trying to lift up generations as one entity: grandparents, parents and children.”

With Univision being the fifth largest network in the

United States reaching 94.1 million households, the TV broadcaster has an important platform in the Hispanic community.

“A big part of the mission of Univision is not just to entertain and inform, but to empower,” said Irene Caicedo Gonzalez, United Way’s vice president of marketing and communications and Univision director of community empowerment for North Carolina.

With the vision of empowerment, Univision created Clave al Exito, an online resource that helps Hispanic families with tips on how to handle everyday situations. These situations include helping parents understand at what level their child should be in school, helping monitor their student’s reading and providing templates of letters that can be translated to English and be sent to teachers.

The partnership of Univision’s Clave al Exito and United Way’s Teaming for Technology

creates a powerful duo. When a family has a computer, a world of opportunity and resources are opened. Not only can the Latino families utilize the online resources of Clave al Exito, but they can also become edu-

cated about technology, which has seemed to become vital for everyday life in the United States, through La Familia Technology Awareness Program.

“Education can be the key

to break the cycle of poverty,” Caicedo Gonzalez said. “With more public schools relying on technology, Latino students are falling behind. When school systems start using email as a function of communication, parents without access to computers are left out of the loop with their student’s lives, left out of opportunities to get involved and cannot be an advocate for their child. There is a lapse in understanding the school system and languages and overall inequality.”

Now through the collaboration of Univision, United Way, volunteers, businesses and nonprofits, the North Carolina community can create equality in technology for Hispanic families. Along with the low fee for a refurbished computer, the only expectation of the parents and children is to attend a basic training course hosted by United Way to learn how to use its new technology. The training courses will be monthly, after early November.

TECHNICIAN A lot of community effort will be needed to fulfill the demand of the computers, according to Jeffords. Bilingual volunteers are needed to help with the basic computer training for the Latino families. In addition, any volunteer would be helpful in assembling the refurbished computers, with no in-depth knowledge of computers or technological skills required, according to Caicedo Gonzalez.

“We don’t know how big this new program will be and don’t have a limit of how many computers we will give out to families,” Jeffords said.

As technology continues to infiltrate lives, it is important that efforts such as Teaming for Technology and Clave al Exito are made to diminish the digital divide, according to Caicedo Gonzalez.

“Many Hispanic families believe that computers are a luxury item, but in reality, they are a necessity,” Caicedo Gonzalez said.

Festival celebrates its 25th year Miguel Sanchez Staff Writer

“Qu i mba ra qu i mba ra quma quimbamba. Quimbara quimbara quma quimbamba,” was the sound welcoming attendees sang early Sunday afternoon at Charlotte’s 25th annual Latin American Festival. The twoday festival took place from Oct. 10-11.

Sounds of salsa from legend, and recent Latin Grammy nominee, Ismael Miranda entertained the crowd along with a wide variety of other bands that included the Venezuelan group, Los Crema Paraíso, a band known for its joropo style and unique riffs on guitar.

Los Crema Paraíso also performed at the RuidoFest in Chicago this summer, a festival similar to Lollapalooza but for the Latin alternative rock scene.

The real treat, though, was the return of Aterciopelados, a Colombian rock group that has won multiple Latin Grammys. Andrea Echeverri, the lead singer, paraded through the crowd during one of her songs before returning to the stage.

Afterward, members from the band stayed to sign autographs and take pictures with fans.

The two-day festival saw a dramatic increase in attendees on Sunday compared to Saturday, a day that was drenched with rain and kept most people indoors. Those who attended the first day might have witnessed a shortage of vendors; however, the music did not disappoint.

Bakalao Stars opened up the evening and energized the crowd with its mix of high-energy lyrics and saxophone and electric guitar solos. World-renowned hiphop artist and Latin Grammy winner Ana Tijoux gave the crowd a special treat after the first act, playing hits from her recent album, “Vengo,” as well as her hit single “1977,” which has been heard on the soundtrack for “Breaking Bad” and FIFA. Panteón Rococó, a ska band that plays a unique blend of rock, salsa, jazz and other genres, headlined the event on Saturday night.

Roberto Rosales, an NC

State alumnus, particularly enjoyed the vibe that Panteón gave.

“I had never really heard them before, but as the day was going on, Bakalao Stars started the night off. Then Ana Tijoux played, and was kind of mellow. Then Panteón Rococó came out and they were just on fire, rocking, getting the folks fired up,” Rosales said. “But what I really like is when they get really passionate about their country. They’re really passionate about the issues that are going on in Mexico. The fact that they’re standing up for those causes, and still showing the crowd a good time, that’s what I really liked.”

Each year, the Latin American Coalition and Latin American Women’s Association organize the event to help run its programs for the greater Charlotte metropolitan area.

“As sister organization with the Latin American coalition, we do this every year to support our programs,” said Violeta Moser, executive director of the Latin American Women’s Association.

“Those programs include scholarships for college for Latino students as well as tutoring and mentoring in the public schools.”

Moser said that while every year weather is an obstacle that organizers have to battle, it has become easier to attract top talent to the festival since the festival began 25 years ago.

“Because of the many years of success with this festival, which attracted 25,000 people at its peak,” Moser said.

“This is the largest festival in the Southeast region, so the artists have been hearing about this for the last five years. We also have a great leader, Tony Arreaza, and Tony is also very involved with these groups because he himself is a musician, rock band leader.”

In addition to several music groups and dance performances, many vendors such as Compare Foods and Mission were also on site to present programs available in the local community and to sell food ranging from pupusas, tacos and mangonadas to traditional Puerto Rican dishes.

Ana Tijoux performs one of her songs from her recent album, “Vengo,” for attendees at Duke University’s Talking Music series at the Forum for Scholars and Publics. Tijoux’s most recent album blends hip hop with a singer-songwriter style that tells stories of her upbringing, feminism and activism around the world.

French-Chilean hip-hop artist blends style with storytelling Miguel Sanchez Staff Writer

“Por mi piel morena borraron mi identidad / Me sentí pisoteado por toda la sociedad / Me tuve que hacer fuerte por necesidad / Fui el hombre de la casa a muy temprana edad...”

“Because of my brown skin they erased my identity / I felt demolished by all of society / I had to be strong by necessity / I was the man of the house at an early age…”

Those were some of the lyrics of the song, “Mi Verdad” or “My Truth,” that FrenchChilean hip-hop artist Ana Tijoux sang on Oct. 8 at Duke University’s Forum for Scholars and Publics. However, this story does not just represent Tijoux or Latinos, but also resonates with many people who come from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Many people may recognize Ana Tijoux’s voice from her hit song, “1977,” which has been featured on “Breaking Bad” and the FIFA ‘11 soundtrack. This event, however, gave students and members of the local community the opportunity to interact with Tijoux on a more intimate level and to hear some of her story.

This event was a result of the collaboration between Duke University’s Forum for Scholars and Publics and Duke Performances, as part of their Talking Music series.

The series is part of an effort by the forum to bring scholarship and research to the lo-

cal community through art.

“We certainly selected musicians who would have an interesting angle,” said Laurent Dubois, director for the Forum for Scholars and Publics. “In this case, obviously Ana Tijoux speaks to so many issues about contemporary politics, different musical styles, feminism, student and political movements in the role of art, so she was a very worthy choice,” Tijoux also spoke to the artists who have influenced her, including Madonna and native Chilean, Victor Jara.

“Victor Jara has this capacity to connect across generations,” Tijoux said. “Music is part of you. It’s a historical moment in your life — it doesn’t die. All those albums that I used to listen to as a kid are still albums that I listen to.”

Tijoux, who has written songs about feminism and the student movement in Chile of 2011, also finds identity in characters from the old show, “Peter Capusotto y sus videos,” a series by Argentinian humorist, Diego Capusotto.

“He’s got a character whose name is Violencia Rivas,” Tijoux said. “She’s the most hilarious. I laugh because I recognize myself in her. She’s the most anarchist, beautiful person.”

Tijoux, who acknowledges her songs to be political in nature at times, says that they are not necessarily always directed at anyone in particular.

“It’s not to be polemic

just to be polemic and to be against the law just to be against it,” Tijoux said.

“Sometimes there is not logic at all.”

Tijoux performed “Sacar la Voz,” “Antipatriarca,” “Mi Verdad” and “Shock” amidst breaks to answer questions from the audience.

Romain Becker, a French professor at Duke through an exchange program, said he enjoyed the authenticity of Tijoux’s personality.

“She’s not above people,” Becker said. “That’s the appeal of her songs. She’s still part of the streets; she’s still part of the people.”

Becker found out from a friend about Tijoux and decided to attend the event after listening to some of her songs via YouTube. For him, the flavor of activism present in her music attracted him.

“In French you would say, the engagement, or the political engagement, in the songs,” Becker said. “That’s the thing that struck me, what you hear in the text — even if you don’t speak Spanish too well.”

Nicole Jadue, a master’s student in the global health program at Duke and originally from Chile, said Tijoux has been in her life for a long time. She was impressed that Tijoux is not only played a lot in Chile, but around the world.

“The first song I ever heard from her was Rosa de los Vientos,” Jadue said. “It’s from one of her oldest albums. It’s about being sons and daughters of everywhere, something that changes. I re-

ally love that song. And now, the new ‘Somos Sur’ is one of my favorite songs because my family originally comes from Palestine. So that collaboration meant that I felt that same pursuit of this identity question and everything; it made me wonder a lot and how she did this parallel between historical struggles that our people [Chileans] are struggling through right now with the parallel of the Palestinians and the Syrians.”

Jadue said she appreciates the fusion that Tijoux creates between location and historical events.

“She plays with the idea of identity with the influence of not only historical moments, but also with geographical sites,” Jadue said. “Her music is a journey of understanding that helps to decolonize other ideas in a way that challenges how you perceive yourself and others.”

For Jadue, a lifetime fan of Tijoux, it was interesting to see the influence that Tijoux has on a global level.

“She has a special niche, and it’s special in every country, which is why I think she’s very horizontal to different parts of the world,” Jadue said. “The same people that she’s talking to in Chile can be found in other places.”

12. NC State (4-2, 0-2 ACC) Head coach Dave Doeren’s October struggles have continued for the third straight season, as he is now an abysmal 0-8 in conference games in the month of October since his arrival in 2013.

The Pack offense will have a bye week before a matchup with Wake Forest to do some much needed soul-searching if it still want to contend in the ACC. 13.Georgia Tech (2-4, 0-3 ACC) By far the biggest disap-

proved to 4.7; still, this average came after just 14 carries on the game.

To me, part of what made Dayes so special in 2014 came from his contrasting running style to Shadrach Thornton.

Although both Dayes and Thornton exhibited great explosion off the ball and tremendous speed in the open field, Thornton liked to hit the

gaps with power in contrast to Dayes’ preference of bouncing it to the outside and making defenders miss. The speedy Dayes served as such a nice complement to the downhill running style of Thornton.

With Thornton taking the brunt of the carries per game, this allowed Dayes to stay fresh and give the Pack a strike of lightning in a bottle when they

needed it.

With all this in mind, the NC State offense must continue to make some difficult decisions in the wake of Thornton’s dismissal. In 2014, the Wolfpack depended on the reliability of its running game to bail the team out when they needed the tough yards at the end of games. On Friday night, with the Pack in need of points

in the fourth quarter, the offense looked to its running game once again to provide the team with life; however, the State rushing corps failed to give the Pack that extra boost as the team dropped its second straight game.

If the Wolfpack wants to make any sort of noise in the ACC this season, Matthew Dayes and the rest of the NC

State rushing attack must fill the vacancy left by preseason first team, All-ACC member Shadrach Thornton or the Wolfpack coaching staff must begin to reinvent the Wolfpack offense with more responsibility being placed on redshirt senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett and the passing game.

pointment in the conference. After Georgia Tech was ranked as high as No. 14 the season, the team has lost four straight games, including three-straight conference games. Paul Johnson needs to get his defense refocused, as the unit has given up over 30 points to opposing teams in each of the last four weeks.

14. Virginia (1- 4, 0 -1 ACC) The Cavs have looked much better against Pitt than they have the past few weeks. Virginia had a tough opening slate, with matchups with top-tier programs their first two weeks against UCLA and Notre Dame. If the Cavs can turn it around with a much easier second half schedule, there is still slim hope for a bowl berth.

CLUB SPOTLIGHT Andrew Schnittker Correspondent

The NC State club hockey team is on a roll after winning the annual Stephen Russell Memorial ACC Kickoff Tournament this past weekend.

The Wolfpack collected four victories to give it the trophy, beating Virginia 7-3 Friday, Georgetown 8-5 Saturday, St. Joseph’s 9-1 Sunday morning, and Duke 6-2 in the championship game Sunday afternoon.

According to team captain Garrett Sunda, it was a dominant effort across the board that allowed the team to have such a strong performance.

“It was a combination of things,” Sunda said. “We had really strong offense, every game we had a lot of goals, we just kept pouring them in. We had solid goaltending behind us.

Joey Hall, our freshman goaltender, ended up being named the MVP of the tournament. He definitely helped a lot standing behind us keeping the score for the other team pretty low.”

The tournament has been held every year since 2009 in honor of former NC State hockey player Stephen Russell, who tragically drowned in Jordan Lake in July 2009. According to Sunda, it is a big honor for the team to win the tournament in his name.

“It means a lot,” Sunda said.

“Especially being my senior year, it’s nice to put our name on that trophy. It’s big for us, it’s a really big tournament we’ve been able to host, with it being in memory of Stephen, we get to play for him. It means a lot to everyone on the team, everyone in the organization, and it also means a lot to Stephen’s family.

It was an emotional weekend for a lot of people, and winning it felt great.”

The team will hope to use this tournament and their blistering start to the season to springboard them into another successful year in the Atlantic Coast Collegiate Hockey League.

“I think being able to win the tournament made a huge impact on our season going forward,” Sunda said. “We have a lot of confidence and we’ve really got things rolling now. We just need to keep doing what we’re doing, and I think that will really carry us through the rest of the season. We’re in a really good spot right now, 7-0-0 after the weekend, and you really can’t beat that, we’re pretty happy.”

The club hockey team will look to keep its hot streak going with matchups against Elon, Virginia Tech and UNC-Chapel Hill in the upcoming weeks.

Pack faces formidable Gamecocks Cole Bass Correspondent

The No. 20 NC State men’s soccer team will turn to No. 13 South Carolina Tuesday at Dail Soccer Stadium, with the clash set to kick off at 7 p.m.

The Wolfpack (6-2-3, 1-1-3 ACC) has truly been tested these past few weeks, and the non-conference matchup against the Gamecocks (73-1, 4-0-0 CUSA) will be its fourth consecutive game against ranked opposition.

The Pack will also look to break its three-game winless streak, with three ties in a row coming against Louisville, Notre Dame and Wake Forest. Despite no wins from three, draws against teams of this quality have been a good sign for NC State, as the team is competing or outplaying some of the top teams in the country and has earned a spot at No. 18 in the RPI rankings.

The Gamecocks, coincidentally at No. 17 in terms of RPI, are currently undergoing a superb run of form, with five wins in six games, and their only loss coming against top-ranked Wake Forest, 2-0.

Although South Carolina has been impenetrable at home, tallying a 5-01 record at Stone Stadium, it has faltered a bit on the road, with a record of 2-3-0.

The Wolfpack has not lost a game at home in Dail Soccer Stadium this season, and with South Carolina encountering struggles on the road this year, NC State will look to capitalize

with the support that home-field advantage provides.

The Gamecocks have already downed two top-25 teams this season, beating No. 23 Elon 3-1 Sept. 22 (ranked No. 8 at the time), and No. 24 New Mexico 2-1 on Sept. 25 (ranked No. 7 at the time). This is the first time the team has won consecutive games against top-10 opposition since 2000.

The matchup will feature a showdown between two in-form goalkeepers. NC State senior goalkeeper Alex McCauley is coming off a shutout against Wake, making six saves and claiming his third shutout of the year.

South Carolina sophomore goalkeeper William Pyle just recorded his first shutout of the year against Florida Atlantic Oct. 9, but has had a stellar year despite this fact. He was named to the Southern Conference All-Freshman Team last year at UNCGreensboro, and earned his starting role midway through the season for the Gamecocks.

The Wolfpack defensive unit will look to lock it down at home once more after the shutout performance last Friday night against Wake Forest.

If senior center backs Reed Norton and Holden Fender are as solid as they were against the Demon Deacons, the Gamecocks will struggle to get on the scoresheet.

The difficulty for NC State comes on the other end, where the team has struggled to get the ball in the net against top opposition. Chances from redshirt senior Phil Carmon, sophomore Ade Taiwo and freshman Simon

Caleb Duvernay, a sophomore defender for the Wolfpack soccer team, rushes down the field at the game versus Wake Forest Oct. 9 on the Dail Soccer Field. Zach Knudson was in play for 110 minutes and had one shot on goal. The Wolfpack tied No. 4 Wake Forest, 0-0.

Blotko went begging against the Demon Deacons in a scoreless effort.

In the previous game against Notre Dame, the Pack needed a moment of brilliance from sophomore midfielder Zach Knudson to tie, a match that State dominated and produced a number of chances that should have been put away.

The good news is that the Pack is creating opportunities. Rather than struggling to generate attacking moves, State has systematic, patterned moves that involve various pieces on the field. Blotko and sophomore Caleb Duvernay get forward from outside back and whip in crosses. Sophomore Ryan Peterson is clever with his movement and passing and can typically be counted on to slither past a defender,

spring his partner at forward or craft a chance out of nothing.

After his breakout freshman year, Knudson has continued to be NC State’s most dangerous attacker thanks to his smooth dribbling and strength on the ball. He scored in the Pack’s 2-1 win in Columbia, South Carolina last season, and his contribution offensively will be crucial to taking points in a game that, if won, could cement State for the rest of the season.

The match is set to be a thrilling one, as both in-form, top-20 teams are set to square off at Dail Soccer Stadium, giving the Wolfpack a homefield advantage and a chance for its first win in four games.

Tigers, Seminoles in control of ACC Joseph Ochoa Staff Writer

In a week that had some upsets and exciting games throughout college football, it’s time to break down the ACC power rankings going into week seven of the season.

1. No. 5 Clemson (5-0, 2-0 ACC) Clemson followed up its thrilling victory against Notre Dame with a dominating win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, 43-24. Clemson looks to follow up its stellar performance against a struggling Boston College team.

2. No. 11 Florida State (5-0, 3-0 ACC) The Seminoles helped reinvigorate a rivalry that needed a jump start as the Hurricanes were defeated in thrilling fashion 29-24. Seminoles running back Dalvin Cook is continuing to impress Heisman voters as he tacked on 222 rushing yards with an average of 10 yards per carry during the game.

3. No. 25 Duke (5-1, 2-0 ACC) With five wins under its belt, Duke now finds itself atop the Coastal division. The Blue Devils throttled Army 44-3 this past weekend and will now get a bye week to prepare for their matchup against Virginia Tech Oct. 24.

4. Pittsburgh (4-1, 2-0 ACC) The Panthers jumped out to an early 17-3 lead in the first quarter against Virginia, which put the game plenty out of reach for the of-

fensively struggling Cavaliers. The Panthers will look to continue their hot start Oct. 17 in a matchup with the struggling Yellow Jackets.

5. (rv) UNC-Chapel Hill (4-1, 1-0 ACC) The Tar Heels had a bye week to rest up and prepare for their matchup against Wake Forest that is improving as the season continues.

The Tar Heels have come a long way from the team that looked sloppy against South Carolina, winning four straight after the loss.

T-6. Miami (3-2, 0-1 ACC) The Hurricanes tested the Seminoles this weekend but came up short in 29-24 loss, and it could mean more. The Canes are 2-6 over the last two years in the games following losses to FSU, and that could become problematic if the “Fire Al Golden” campaign gets louder.

T-6 Louisville (2-3, 1-1 ACC) Louisville has won two games in a row following three straight losses this year, proving that its early season woes were nothing to be concerned with. It didn’t have a game this past weekend, giving the Cards plenty of time to prepare for a much needed win against Florida State Oct. 17.

8. Virginia Tech (3-3, 1-1 ACC) Quarterback Brenden Motley shook off his dreadful performance against Pitt in the conference opener and threw three touchdowns to lead the Hokies to a 28-13 win over

Freshman wide receiver Nyheim Hines carries the ball during a kick return from Virginia Tech. Hines had one reception for 17 yards and two kick returns for 54 yards. Everything seemed to go wrong for the Wolfpack, who lost the game 28-13 to VT Oct. 9 in Lane Stadium.

NC State. The Hokies got much needed good news after quarterback Michael Brewer was cleared to practice one month after breaking his collarbone, but his status against Miami Oct. 17 will remain uncertain until the weekend.

9. Syracuse (3-2, 1-0 ACC) The Orange got beaten down this weekend as it lost to South Florida 45-24 in the team’s first road game of the year. With its matchup against Virginia on tap, the Orange will looking to get its surprising season back on track after losing two straight games to FBS schools.

10. Wake Forest (3-3, 1-2 ACC) The Deacs had to work extra hard

in a defensive slugfest against Boston College and came away with a 3-0 win this past weekend. Despite holding the Eagles to no points, the Deacs have given up double digits to their opponents in four of their first five games, which could be a problem against the Tar Heels this weekend.

11. Boston College (3-3, 0-3 ACC) The Eagles offense has struggled against FBS competition, averaging six points per game in their last four games, including two shutouts in ACC play. Things might get ugly

Rushing attack will struggle sans Thornton Michael McLamb Staff Writer

When news broke two weeks ago that senior running back Shadrach Thornton would be dismissed from the NC State football team following his role in a moped accident that left a Raleigh man injured, Wolfpack fans were saddened but not completely overwhelmed.

With Thornton’s collegiate career ending in disciplinary issues, the Georgia native, who has been projected to go as high as the third round in the 2016 NFL Draft, unquestionably hurt his draft stock for the following season, and quite possibly damaged

it beyond repair. The reality of such a talented Wolfpack running back depleting his chances of becoming a highly drafted professional athlete in the NFL gave State fans reason to feel sorrowful in regards to Thornton’s future; however, when looking at the Wolfpack team moving forward, optimism still remained.

Although Thornton was valued as the Pack’s top running back at the beginning of the season, junior Matthew Dayes stepped into the spotlight in the Pack’s first four games with 100-plus rushing yards in each contest to go along with nine touchdowns. With Thornton serving a two-game suspension at the

beginning of the season for breaking an unspecified team rule, Dayes performed impressively in his featured role, compiling 126 rushing yards and two touchdowns against Troy and 116 rushing yards with three touchdowns against Eastern Kentucky.

After Thornton’s return against Old Dominion, Dayes still managed 108 yards and a touchdown against the Monarchs and 104 yards to along with three touchdowns against South Alabama. With these impactful performances at the start of the season, the Wolfpack rushing attack appeared to be in good hands even after the dismissal of Thornton. However, perspectives would soon change after

Dayes mustered just 68 yards rushing and one fumble in State’s first conference game against the Louisville Cardinals.

Since the arrival of Dayes back in 2013, the Weston, Florida native has always been used as the secondary back to Thornton while also giving the team some solid receiving numbers each game. The duo of Thornton and Dayes combined for 3,730 allpurpose yards in 2013 and 2014 with a total of 32 touchdowns. Nevertheless, when playing against in-conference foes, Dayes averaged just 6.5 carries per game in 2013 and 2014. Also, consider this, of the 128 FBS level teams this year, the Pack faced the

86th, 113th and 114th best rushing defenses in Troy, South Alabama and Old Dominion respectively.

All that to say, Dayes is swimming in unchartered waters as the featured back for NC State in ACC matchups. Dayes carried the ball 19 times against Louisville on Oct. 3, which notched the most touches he has ever received in a conference game. The previous mark for Dayes was 11 carries against Wake Forest on Nov. 15 of last year.

Whether or not the performance of Dayes against Louisville was simply an off-game or indicative of the fact
