very woman is at risk for breast cancer. The disease doesn’t discriminate between young and old, wealthy and poor, educated and uneducated. And so far, it can’t be prevented or cured. One out of seven women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. This year alone, about 213,000 new cases of female breast cancer will be diagnosed, according to the American Cancer Society, and 41,000 women will die from the disease. But breast cancer is more than reams of statistics — for many women, it is just a fact of life. The women who battle breast cancer are mothers, daughters, aunts, co-workers, neighbors and friends. They continue to do the things they did before cancer became part of their lives —go to work, go to school, raise families, take vacations. And most of them — the lucky ones — survive. Women aren’t alone in the struggle against breast cancer. Men are affected as well; this year, about 450 men will die from the disease. An estimated 1,700 men will be diagnosed in 2006. Every October, cancer organizations recognize National Breast Cancer Awareness Month — an effort to get the word out about screening, risk factors and research. The campaign began small, as a weeklong event in October 1985. Today, it has grown into a monthlong chance to remember those who died from the disease and honor those who have survived. And it is an opportunity to educate about screening and early diagnosis, and to raise money for the search for a cure. To mark the month, test your knowledge with our cancer quiz, learn how you can contribute to finding a cure and find out how to protect yourself with regular self-exams.

Experts recommend that women perform monthly breast self-exams. Becoming familiar with the way breasts normally look and feel can help women and their doctors spot changes. Here are the basics: ● Visual exam. Stand in front of a mirror and: 1. With arms at sides, look for changes in breast size, shape, skin color or texture. Check nipple for discharge, scaly skin or dimpling of skin near nipple (as if something is pulling the skin into the breast). 2. Repeat with your arms above your head. 3. With hands on hips, press shoulders forward slightly; both breasts should react the same way to the movement. ● Feel for lumps. With a pillow under your shoulder and an arm behind your head, use three fingers to feel whole breast and armpit. Repeat on other side. Use the same method each month. ● Three methods. Use whichever method is comfortable for you, but be consistent. Circle, left: Move fingers slowly in increasingly smaller circles. Parallel, middle: Slowly move fingers down then up, from underarm to mid-chest. Wedge, right: Move fingers toward nipple, then back to edge.

● DO SOMETHING ● ● ● Want to make a difference in the fight to cure breast cancer? Here’s how to start: ● Run a race. The Komen Foundation sponsors Race for the Cure, the largest series of 5K races in the world. Race for the Cure is held in more than 100 U.S. cities, so there’s bound to be one near you. Visit www.raceforthecure.org to search for a race by state or date. ● Wear a ribbon. A pink ribbon has come to symbolize support for breast cancer causes. Browse Web sites like www.pinkribbonshop.com and www.pinkribbonjewelry.com for pink ribbon merchandise in every shape and size — on jewelry, ornaments, tote bags, teddy bears, coffee mugs and more.

N.C. A & T Professor beats Breast Cancer Mija Gary

According to BreastCancer. org, about one in eight women will develop breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Aggies are wearing pink in support of those who have been impacted by the disease. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time to celebrate men and women who have endured the fight against breast cancer. Supporters spread awareness of breast cancer; celebrate the lives claimed by breast cancer, and advocate for women’s yearly breast cancer screenings. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts in the cells of the breast. A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that grow into, or invade, surrounding tissue or spread to other areas of the body. The disease occurs almost entirely in women, but can affect men as well. BreastCancer.org reports that about 40,000 women in the U.S. are expected to die in 2014 from breast cancer. However, people

diagnosed with stage 0, I or II breast cancer tend to have higher overall survival rates than people diagnosed with stage III or IV breast cancer. Overall survival rates vary depending on each person’s diagnosis, according to Susan G. Komen. Kelsie Bernot, an assistant professor in the biology department at N.C. A&T is a survivor of breast cancer. She has been cancer-free for about five years. When Bernot initially discovered a lump in her breast, she was not concerned. After two weeks, the lump had not disappeared; so she scheduled an appointment with her OBGYN. “I fully expected him to say ‘Oh, it’s just a cyst. It’s not a big deal,” Bernot said. When the doctor advised her to get a mammogram, she grew anxious. “This gradually stepped up my level of concern,” she said. After taking a biopsy following her mammogram, she learned of her breast cancer diagnosis in February of 2008. At 33, it came as a shock. “When I hung up the phone with the radiologist, I was practicing the words in my head, ‘I

have cancer, I have cancer,” she said. “It was such a surreal thing. I didn’t cry. I wasn’t upset. Actually, I was giggling ridiculously because sometimes you react to shocking news in weird ways and my way was laughing. I’d rather laugh than cry,” Bernot said. After her diagnosis, Bernot realized that getting educated about breast cancer was important. “It was a whirlwind,” she said. “I’m a scientist and still I had so much learning to do about breast cancer. Once it becomes personal, it’s so different. It was like studying for the hardest exam of my life.” Growing up Bernot was very athletic. After learning of her diagnosis, she was prepared for a physical fight. “I was really fortunate that I had a really great support system and I am naturally just a really optimistic person to begin with,” said Bernot. “For me, I was kind of excited to have something to fight for. I felt like I was preparing for a race. It was just crazy, but at the same time, it was my life. You

deal with what comes to you. You don’t really have an option to deal with it. You just have to step up and get it done.” Fortunately, Bernot’s cancer was contained only in one breast. She got a mastectomy and immediate reconstruction, along with six rounds of chemotherapy every three weeks. Bernot was able to use her bad experience for good. “I didn’t mind losing my hair. That was actually kind of fun,” she said. “One of my guy friends said he would shave his head with me in solidarity. He let me shave his head first and he and my husband shaved mine and we gave ourselves mohawks on the way. It was just really fun and I felt so free.” Bernot’s husband contributed in every way possible. “My husband was amazing,” she said. “He did so much stuff for me. I got to do anything I wanted to do. He did all the housework, he did all the cleaning, and he got food for us. I actually think it’s harder on the caregivers than it is on the person going through. That’s not true for everyone.” Cancer played a huge role in

Bernot’s life, especially at such a young age. “It sounds so cliché that cancer changes your life and I thought about that before it happened,” Bernot said. “But it does, you can’t help it. Every single day I think about the fact that I had breast cancer. Its part of me and who I am now. It’s changed my life for the better because of the opportunities I got, because of the people I met, because of that experience.” For many women with breast cancer, treatment may remove or cure the cancer. Completing treatment can be both stressful and exciting. Patients may be relieved to finish treatment, but find it hard not to worry about cancer coming back. Recurrence is a very common concern in people who have had cancer. “It stays with you forever. There’s always a chance that it can come back,” Bernot said. A woman’s risk of breast cancer doubles if she has a firstdegree relative, mother, sister, or daughter, who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. About 15% of women who get breast cancer have a family member diagnosed with it.

Several of Bernot’s aunts and great aunts had breast cancer, but she tested negative for the gene on both her mother and father’s side. Bernot’s most significant gain from her breast cancer experience was being driven to follow her passion. She is very clear in what she learned and how she was impacted from the experience. “You have to be open to opportunities that you might not expect,” she said. “You have to be ready to jump through that door when it opens. There are a lot of times when challenges are going to hit you and you just have to learn to get over them. I learned that you have to find a way to get stuff done. If you are passionate enough about something you are willing to find whatever way it needs to get there.” Bernot enjoys telling her story to inspire and uplift others in order to make a difference. —Email Mija at mggary@aggies. ncat.edu and follow her on Twitter @heelson_check

The outbreak of Ebola has caused people all around the world to panic. This fatal virus has spread to the United States. The recent Ebola outbreak is considered to be one of the largest plagues that has affected many countries in West Africa. Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person to be diagnosed in the United States, died last Wednesday in a Dallas hospital. Duncan passed shortly after being diagnosed with the deadly virus. The question remains, why was Duncan released from the hospital, after telling health officials that he had recently traveled to Liberia and had a fever and abdominal pain? In North Carolina, there have been a few health scares that have citizens questioning if there are proper procedures in place to ensure that they are protected from the virus. An Ebola scare closed a Mecklenburg County emergency room on Thursday, Oct. 9, which is something that citizens will see often in the upcoming weeks due to fears of the virus. In Boone N.C., officials say that there was an Ebola scare at a hospital. Luckily protocol was in place after a patient reportedly traveled to Africa and showed up with a fever. Guilford County Department of Health and Human Services released information on Oct. 8 about Ebola, proper procedure, and the symptoms. The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services announced that they have taken steps to keep an outbreak from happening. The Division of Public Health has partnered with the state, federal, and local health agencies to detect cases using proper health methods. North Carolina Agricultural

and Technical State University has taken the necessary steps in order to prevent the virus from spreading on campus. Sebastian Health Center has developed screening and risk assessment for students and staff, revised the Student Health Center Communicable Disease and Pandemic plan to include the outbreak of Ebola. “We have collectively upgraded our staff infection control polices and education to include our personal protective equipment (PPE) and training in its use,” said Interim Executive Director Bettye Young-Stewart. Sebastian Health Center wants to ensure that students are protected from viruses, infections, and contagions. N.C. A&T will continue to collaborate with the Guilford County Health Department as they have been chosen as first responders for any infectious outbreak. “Our Health Center will continue to implement the suggested best practices from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services as it relates to working to control Ebola outbreaks,” said Yvonne Parks, nurse supervisor. Ebola symptoms are hard to detect given that flu symptoms are similar. The common symptoms are: vomiting, diarrhea, severe muscle and stomach pain, fever, or any other type of unexpected bleeding or bruising. Ebola is not an airborne virus. It cannot be spread through water or food. It is only passed to another person by direct contact through bodily fluids of a person who contracted the virus. Health officials advise citizens to get their flu shot and vaccinations early to minimize your chance of catching the flu or any other virus. —Email Dominique at jdmoody@ aggies.ncat.edu and follow us on Twitter @theatregister

Q&A with SGA Secretary Kayla Baker 1. Who is Kayla Baker? What made you who you are today? This is a very tough question to answer. You think you know yourself and then someone asks “Who are you?” and you don’t really know what to say. My past experiences in life have molded me to be who I am today. Along with my faith in God, my determination to be a leader, my passion for helping people, and the encouragement, inspiration and love by the people that I have always surrounded myself with have also made me who I am. 2. Who do you see as a role model or who influences you the most? My mom definitely influences me the most. She has always been the one who pushed me to do the best I can and reach my fullest potential. I work so hard to make her proud because she has sacrificed so much for me to make sure I have everything that I need. 3. How do you envision your life 10 years from now? Well I’m not sure which career path I want to travel just yet, but in 10 years I imagine I will be well set in my career, preferably in a management position. I envision being married with children and living a very successful lifestyle. Success in the form of happiness, wealth,

and achievement. 4. How does it feel to be elected as secretary for a second term? I feel privileged Kayla Baker to serve my university and student body for a second term. I have taken what I learned from my experience last year and applied it to my actions this year. It’s really interesting to be a part of two different administrations. I feel that being open to change is definitely vital. 5. What are some things that help you stay organized? I keep a planner and I literally write everything down that I need to do. I get so busy and have so many things to do on a daily basis, if I don’t write something down, I will forget about it. I also write notes to myself, keep a daily “to-do” list. I just write everything down. 6. I see that you were inducted in many honor societies? What motivates you to succeed in classes? My future motivates me to succeed in everything. I look at it as my decisions today, will affect my tomorrow. That mindset

events

Greensboro plans for Ebola in case of emergency

allows me to stay focused and driven in working toward meeting the goals I set for myself; Whether it’s an accomplishment inside the classroom or not. 7. You seem like such a strong and confident individual. What is a weakness you have? Procrastination is my biggest weakness. I work great under pressure, but far too often I wait until the last minute to complete things. It’s a really big problem of mine, and I’m working very hard to do something about it. 8. Are you excited to graduate? Are you going to grad school? I am very excited to graduate. It has been a great 4 years filled with fun, learning, and great experiences and I know I will miss the undergraduate life dearly. However, I am ready to move on to the next stage of my life and I am very eager to see what is in store for me. I do plan to attend grad school, studying either adult education or business administration. I’m still working out the details of where I would like to attend. —Email Taylor at tlyoung1@ aggies.ncat.edu and follow her on Twitter @sweeteey94

Phi Beta Sigma supports black businesses Kameron james Contributor

The Eta Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated took a stand to raise awareness on the importance of supporting black businesses. During the last few weeks, the Eta Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma, Inc. has been conducting research through a random sample of roughly 100 individuals on local college campuses and the surrounding community. “Bigger and Better Business is one of the national initiatives for Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated. I have been in this position since being initiated into the chapter in the spring of 2014,” said Damian Jeffers, Bigger & Better Business chairperson for the Eta Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated. The research was done to get different perspectives regarding black owned businesses while also raising awareness on the importance of supporting black owned businesses. “As the chairman for the Eta Chapter,

it is my responsibility to implement events that would promote and foster ideas for the effective organization, improvement, and expansion of sound business principles and practices,” Jeffers said. “After speaking with several business owners, aspiring African American entrepreneurs, and self-educating myself about the importance of this issue, I saw the need for this to take place,” Jeffers stated. The members in the Eta Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma, Inc, were all elated about Jeffers idea. “I am very proud of Damian for spearheading this effort! He serves as our chapter’s Bigger and Better Business Chair and it is refreshing to see that he took the initiative to tackle this project as a new member in our organization,” said junior Terrance Odom. According to Jeffers, after research was completed, there were also polls taken. The race and ethnicity category of the demographics broke down as follows: 92.5% African American, 3.75% other, 2.5% Caucasian,

and 1.25% Native American. Over half of the population, 55% stated they were not aware of the black owned businesses in their community while 43.75% said they were aware. Jeffers also stated that 1.25% of people responded that being aware of the black owned businesses in their community really did not matter to them. “Black business is the foundation for future success, not just in America, but worldwide. Black businesses are the necessary stimulant in our communities that ensure growth and development,” said Jamal Averett, member of Eta Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. In the coming weeks, the chapter will host a wall of pledges to offer facts and give the campus the opportunity to vow to support black owned businesses. —Email Kameron at Kajames2@ aggies.ncat.edu and follow her on Twitter @Kameronnj

Aggies Walk for Domestic Violence

Walk a mile in her shoes Many A&T and Bennett students came out to support the cause. (LEFT) Junior Class Treasurer Marcus Miller fills out survey after walk. (RIGHT)

Taylor YOung

Managing Editor

Shame. Brokenness. Weakness. Feelings unspoken. Domestic violence is real. In light of recent cases, including the publicity of Ray Rice’s personal matter, domestic violence has once again become a topic of discussion. On Saturday, Oct. 11 the junior and senior members of the Royal Court in conjunction with the Sigma Kappa Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. held a walk on the campus of Bennett College for domestic violence. The walk was titled “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes,” the international men’s march to stop

rape, sexual assault and gender violence. The walk has been done all over the country. It is a different way for men to raise awareness in their community about the seriousness of this issue. Like the old saying goes, “You can’t really understand another person’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.” During the walk men are encouraged to walk in a woman’s shoes—literally. During the walk men are highly encouraged to walk in a pair of heels. Although, though there were about 170 people at the walk, majority men, not one decided to walk in heels. Ashley Jones, chairperson

of the event, expressed how heterosexual men did not want to wear heels during the walk, but she was glad that they attended. More men participated this year than they did in the last three years. The walk was short but meaningful. After the walk, a Greensboro police officer and a counselor at Bennett College spoke about domestic violence and how it affects both men and women. This helped open up the conversation that so many were unwilling to discuss amongst the crowd. Jamal Averett, mister junior, one of the hosts of the event had a lot to say regarding this issue because he grew up

around domestic violence. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, nearly 20 people per minute are victims of physical violence by an intimate partner in the United States. Throughout a year’s time more than 10 million women and men are affected. The statistics are alarming when broken down further. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced physical violence during a relationship in their lifetime. 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men have experienced severe physical violence by a partner in their lifetime. On a typical day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls

placed to the domestic violence hotline nationwide. Intimate partner violence is most common among women between the ages of 18-24. The ages of 18-24 is the average college aged student. Violence in a relationship is usually partnered with emotional abuse and controlling behavior. That is only a portion of a systematic pattern of dominance and control. “Any person in a relationship where there is domestic violence should seek help for the sake of the relationship, or just get out of the relationship altogether,” said Averett. “If there are children, in the family, where there is domestic violence, it might affect them later

on in their own lives, as they become adults.” During the event Greensboro Police advised that if you see domestic violence first hand in public or even hear it through the walls of your apartment or house, call the police. The Greensboro Police Department does not advise anyone to jump in the middle of a situation because you do not know the full story. The reality is if you help, you can be charged for assault. Help at your own risk but make sure you call the police first. —Email Taylor at tlyoung1@aggies.ncat.edu and follow her on Twitter @sweeteey94

Turkey denies reports of base use Roy Gutman

MCT Campus

ISTANBUL — In the latest sign of discord between two key NATO allies, Turkey on Monday formally denied news reports that it had agreed to open a major air base to U.S. and other coalition combat aircraft fighting Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq. Use of Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey was high on the U.S. wish list when President Barack Obama sent a special envoy for the crisis to Ankara last week. “Basing rights would be helpful,” Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Friday. For a few days, there appeared to be a deal. Reporters accompanying Hagel on a trip to South America over the week-

end quoted senior officials as saying that Turkey had agreed to U.S. use of the base. National security adviser Susan Rice strengthened the impression Sunday. “They have said that their facilities inside of Turkey can be used by coalition forces, American and otherwise, to engage in activities inside of Iraq and Syria,” she said on NBC's “Meet the Press.” But Turkey's foreign minister shot that down Monday. “Turkey has made no decision on whether to open its Incirlik Air Base to the U.S.-led coalition in the fight,” Mevlut Cavusoglu told reporters in New York. A Turkish spokesman said the U.S. request for Incirlik was still under discussion, as was the Turkish demand for steps

against the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad. At the heart of the discord is a substantive dispute. Turkey views the U.S.-led bombing campaign against Islamic State targets as a tactical step that lacks a long-term strategy, while the Obama administration has refused to consider Turkey's demands for steps to oust Assad. Hagel said Saturday that creating a safe zone inside Syria for Syrians fleeing government bombing, a Turkish demand, is not “actively being considered.” And Rice said Sunday the U.S. doesn't see it as “essential.” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reaffirmed his demands Monday, saying the main goal of the U.S.-led operations should be Assad's re-

moval. “A no-fly zone and a safe zone should be set up, so we can be able to place the Syrians inside our country in these safe havens,” he told a university audience. Turkey now hosts 1.5 million Syrian refugees. Beyond the dispute over principles, an element of pique appears to be at play, with each side delivering calculated snubs to the other. Obama failed to send a senior aide to Erdogan's inauguration as president in August and declined to meet him for talks during the U.N. General Assembly in September, sending Vice President Joe Biden instead. After Biden publicly blamed Turkey and other U.S. allies for the rise of the Islamic State and

then disclosed what he said was the content of their private conversation, Erdogan threatened to break all contacts with him. Meanwhile, administration aides, speaking anonymously, were quoted by major U.S. news outlets as disparaging Turkey's contribution to the war on Islamic extremists. The Turks are also able to deliver a snub. Obama last week dispatched John Allen, his new special envoy for the Islamic State crisis, to Ankara at the tail end of a Middle East tour, but Erdogan did not receive the retired Marine general, a conspicuous omission. And despite a personal invitation by Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Turkey's top military officer, Gen. Nec-

Protestors burn Mexico’s capital building Tim Johnson

MCT Campus

MEXICO CITY — Masked demonstrators protesting the disappearance of 43 students in the Pacific coast state of Guerrero late last month set fire Monday to the state's government headquarters after fierce clashes with riot police. Some 600 protesters in Chilpancingo, Guerrero's capital, began their siege of the headquarters at around noon. As clashes with riot police wore on, the protesters allowed women employees to leave the modernist structure around 3 p.m., then later forced the remaining employees to leave. Some protesters ran through

the building breaking windows, news reports said. By late afternoon, huge flames erupted from the glassfronted building. A snack truck parked nearby erupted in flames, hit by a Molotov cocktail. The sinembargo.mx news portal said five teams of firefighters were battling the blaze. There were no immediate reports of injuries. As a federal police helicopter flew over the building, protesters fired bottle rockets at it. They later fled the government compound aboard waiting buses. The unrest was the worst since the events of Sept. 26 in the city of Iguala, where more

than 100 students from the Ayotzinapa teachers college arrived to solicit funds, only to find police firing at their commandeered buses. Six students were killed, some 20 wounded, and 43 taken into police custody, only to vanish. Days later, authorities found mass graves outside the city but so far they have not determined through DNA testing if 28 bodies found in them belong to any of the missing students. In Mexico City, students at two universities called a twoday sympathy strike starting Tuesday to demand that the 43 missing students be returned alive. The strike may shut both the Autonomous National University of Mexico _ with more

than 200,000 students, Latin America's largest _ and the Autonomous Metropolitan University. In the two weeks since the disappearance of the students, a political crisis has engulfed the opposition leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution, known by its Spanish initials as the PRD, which holds the governor's office in Guerrero. The mayor of Iguala, who is accused of links to an organized crime group and is now on the run, was also elected on a PRD ticket. The political crisis and related unrest shows no signs of slowing. News reports say student teachers in Michoacan, a state

neighboring Guerrero, commandeered 21 buses to carry protesters to Chilpancingo to join the student uprising. Police in the city, some 30 miles north of the Pacific resort of Acapulco, are on edge. Over the weekend, they fired at a van carrying students, mistaking it for what they said was a band of kidnappers. The shooting left a German exchange student wounded in the buttocks, according to the National Human Rights Commission. The incident could have turned into a greater international embarrassment for Mexico. Also aboard the bus were two French students, another German as well as six Mexican students.

det Ozel, will not be attending Tuesday's meeting of top military officials from 20 countries in Washington. Pleading a scheduling conflict as well as security threats in Syria, Ozel was sending his deputy, Turkish news media reported. The only sign of cooperation arising from the Allen visit was the announcement by the State Department that the U.S. and Turkey had agreed to train and equip Syrian rebel fighters _ a move proposed by Turkey. But some of the details appear to have been settled during meetings in Washington between the head of Turkish intelligence, Gen. Hakan Fiden, and Lisa Monaco, the White House counterterrorism adviser.

Islamic State hostage video raises time question Mitchell Prothero MCT Campus

ANTWERP, Belgium — The Islamic State on Sunday posted the third installment of what it says will be a seven-part video series featuring British hostage John Cantlie that raises anew the issue of when the videos were recorded. In the new posting, Cantlie references the murder of British aid worker David Haines, a video of which was posted to the Internet Sept. 13, but makes no reference to the beheading of another aid worker, Alan Henning, whose murder video was posted Oct. 3. The nearly seven-minute rambling statement, which criticizes U.S. and British policy toward the Islamic State, also makes no reference to a number of events since early September, indicating that the video was made more than a month ago. In referencing the murder of Haines, who was beheaded on video at some point before the Sept 13 video release, Cantlie says that he had not yet seen the response to Haines' death, although the British prime minister has made strong condemnations of both Haines' and Henning's deaths. Cantlie also quoted heavily from foreign affairs columnists and blogs but, again, only used citations from early September, including statements by President Barack Obama about the potential cost of the air war against the Islamic State made around the time of a speech on Sept. 10, in which he announced that that he had ordered the U.S. military to begin a widespread program to "degrade and destroy" the Islamic State's military capability. Cantlie also mentioned what has been a long-running theme, the refusal of the United States and Great Britain to "negotiate" with the group for the lives of the hostages. Each of the murder videos _ which include those of Americans James Foley and Steven Sotloff _ have mentioned the refusal by both government to attempt to negotiate a release. That policy is in stark contrast to that of several European countries whose hostages have been released in exchange for millions of dollars in ransom payments. The Islamic State kidnapped Cantlie, a freelance photographer, Nov. 22, 2012, near the Turkish border in Syria while he was traveling with Foley. It was Cantlie's second abduction; he was briefly held by foreign jihadists in Syria in July 2012. After giving testimony about one of his abductors, a British doctor who was arrested when he returned to the United Kingdom, Cantlie returned to Syria and disappeared. The British doctor was acquitted last year after Cantlie did not appear at his trial.

Ministry Spotlight: The Conversation Room Editor’s Note: This article is the first in a series that will spotlight various local and campus ministries. Laci Ollison Word Editor

Ask some students on the campus of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University where they are going on a Tuesday night and their answers just may be “church.” The start of a new col-

lege aged bible study at a local church is drawing students from N.C. A&T as well as other local college campuses. Joseph Frierson, Young Adult Pastor at Mt. Zion Baptist church, said that the inspiration to begin “The Conversation Room” came from a need that he noticed amongst young adults in and round the community. “In the culture of social media and internet, I felt like the young adult population was losing out on opportunity to engage one another and do it in an atmosphere where spiritual

issues were lifted up as well,” the young adult pastor stated. Frierson believes that at the heart of “The Conversation Room,” people will leave more assured and confident in the vision that God gave to their life. “I believe young people are in a place where major decisions have to be made,” Frierson said. “Major moves have to be engaged and so I feel like ‘The Conversation Room’ helps people find that next step and find direction.” I have made a few visits to “The Conversation Room.”

Budget-friendly things to do in Greensboro Laci Ollison Word Editor

During the time that I have been a student here at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, I have heard a number of of students make the same general remark: “Greensboro is so boring.” To be honest, I didn’t like Greensboro when I moved here my freshman year. Not that I could really complain though. I grew up in a small town on the eastern coast of North Carolina. To me, Greensboro would be considered “the big city.” Since then, I have learned to love the city that I now call my second home. Greensboro has grown on me. If you take some time to look and explore, you will see that the “Gate City” actually has a lot of fun things to offer its citizens. Besides the night clubs that line downtown Greensboro’s Elm and Greene Streets, downtown Greensboro offers its visitors an eclectic variety of shops and restaurants for any interest. Scuppernong Bookstore is one of Elm Street’s newest additions. Functioning as a bookstore, library, and a café, Scuppernong also has a thriving poetic community. Throughout the week, various spoken

word and poetry events are hosted in this quaint little store. Almost directly across the street from Scuppernong is Cheesecake’s by Alex. As a sugar lover, this locally owned bakery is like heaven on earth for me! Alex’s also offers free WIFI to its patrons. Studying with sweets? Can life get any better? If you are looking to accessorize your next outfit, Mary’s Jewelry Box should be your next destination. Mary’s has cute vintage jewelry that is perfect for a college budget! The city of Greensboro Parks and Recreation department has many parks throughout Greensboro. Located in downtown Greensboro, Center City Park is my favorite! The park has free WIFI, a fountain, plenty of outdoor seating space, and green space as well. It is perfect for studying outside or doing homework on a good weather day. Country Park is also one of my favorites. Perfect for taking a walk or a jog on the parks trail, you can also find a small lake with paddle boats. Year-round, festivals are held throughout Greensboro. They offer a fun way for locals to network, and experience different cultures.

First Friday serves as downtown Greensboro’s monthly open house and is held on the first Friday of each month. On this day, participating shops and restaurants stay open from 6-9 p.m. and feature local artists showcasing their talents. Participating shops display green balloons outside of their locations. These events are also free and open to the public. Festival of Lights is a yearly event held in downtown Greensboro at the beginning of December. During this event, attendees can experience a musical stroll down Elm street featuring local artists performing Christmas songs, a holiday indie market, the lighting of the Christmas tree, and much more! There are many great things about Greensboro. You just have to look, have an open mind, and take some time to explore! The city has a lot of activities that are perfect for a college budget. -Email Laci at theatregister@gmail.com and follow her on twitter @laciollison

Upon entering into the chapel on the campus of Mt. Zion Baptist Church where bible study is held, you immediately begin to feel a warm sense of belonging. The praise and worship team, comprised of young adults and college students from various campuses, encourages you to worship with them. It makes you feel comfortable in the current worship experience. Each week, Pastor Frierson delivers an encouraging and engaging message. Each week’s topic coincides with a monthly theme.

“During the month of October we talked about how to develop a dream team and how do you let that network develop you,” said Frierson. “I think it is in the culture of the church to help young people develop dream teams that surround them.” Beginning in 2015, Pastor Frierson is hoping to mobilize “The Conversation Room” to college campuses. The Young Adult Pastor anticipates N.C. A&T becoming the first off-site mobile location. “In a city where there are sev-

en institutions of higher learning, it is important for the church community to engage this sector of the population,” Frierson said. “The Conversation Room” is held every Tuesday night at 7 p.m. For more information, visit mtzbc.com -Email Laci at theatregister@gmail.com and follow her on twitter @laciollison

Climate change poses more threat to the United States than ISIS Philadelphia Daily News

In a speech to the United Nations recently, President Barack Obama said that climate change is a more serious threat than terrorism. So, why aren’t more Americans terrified? A parade of panicked politicians talk about the Islamic militant group the Islamic State as if it were a combination of Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Union, faulting the president for not taking drastic action sooner. But climate change? What’s the hurry? A majority of Americans (67 percent, in an

August Pew/USA Today poll) believe the Islamic State is, like al-Qaeda, a “major threat” to our national security. Yet, fewer than half (48 percent), almost none of them Republicans, see climate change the same way. An evaluation of the actual danger posed by the Islamic State is a subject for a later time, but at least right now, the group, while it is vicious and barbaric and wants to hurt us, has limited capability to make that happen on American soil. Yet, climate change already has invaded the homeland, reducing to ruins the homes of thousands of Americans, turn-

ing them into refugees of a sort. In his U.N. speech, Obama listed just a few of the terrors we already have experienced: “Along our eastern coast, the city of Miami now floods at high tide. In our west, wildfire season now stretches most of the year. In our heartland, farms have been parched by the worst drought in generations, and drenched by the wettest spring in our history. A hurricane left parts of this great city (New York) dark and underwater.” Earth’s rising temperature represents a greater menace than any terrorist “sleeper cell.” Extreme weather events are

not the only danger: As food and water shortages increase and already vulnerable people suffer dislocation and loss, the stability of governments and even civil societies are jeopardized. In an ironic twist, climate change could itself have been a factor in the rise of the Islamic State. To be sure, the repressive regime of Bashar Assad, in Syria, is the major reason for the civil war that has fed the group’s rise. However, some experts point also to the social upheaval tied to a widespread drought caused by climate change, the worst since the beginning of agricultural civilization, ac-

cording to an expert quoted by the Center for Climate and Security, a think-tank advised by retired senior military and security officials. The drought destroyed the livelihood of millions of farmers and herders who migrated to the cities, and whose desperation is a contributing factor to rising militancy. Still, while most Americans worry more about terrorism than the environment, activists sense a change. You wouldn’t know it from watching mainstream media, but the message about the need for action is getting through to more ordinary Americans than in the

past: The estimated 300,000 to 400,000 people who participated in the largest “climate justice” march in history on Sept. 21 aren’t putting away their signs and going home for good. The numbers of people engaging in civil disobedience is expanding. A movement to persuade institutions to divest from fossil fuels is still tiny, but growing. We should do what we can to support them: In the not-so-long term, it won’t matter what harm the Islamic State can or can’t do if a rising planet temperature has the effect most scientists predict: global chaos.

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University’s football team bounced back in the second half to beat the Pirates of Hampton University at the Aggie Stadium 31-14. The Aggies (5-2, 2-1 MEAC) snapped an eight game losing streak to the Pirates (1-5, 0-2 MEAC), who they have not defeated since 2003. It was also a homecoming for N.C. A&T Hall of Fame member and current Hampton Head Coach Connell Maynor. Maynor won a MEAC title for the Aggies in 1991 and was a two-time MEAC Offensive Player of the Year. The Aggies are coming off of their first shutout loss in two years to South Carolina State last week at the Atlanta Classic. Running back Tarik Cohen tied the game with a 68-yard pass to Hasaan Klugh with 14:45 in the second quarter. Cohen finished the game with 155 rushing yards, 81 receiving yards. Klugh added 167 yards and touchdown on 13-for-17 passing. Freshman Marquell Cartwright opened the third quarter with a 2-yard run, tying the game at 14 after a seven minute drive. Klugh completed 13-of17 (76%) for 167 yards pass-

ing with a touchdown in N.C. A&T’s 31-14 win over Hampton. “He is so calm. But I want to see a little more authority,” said Aggies Head Coach Rod Broadway. A 60-yard run from Cohen at the 3:04 mark gave the Aggies a 20-14 lead over the Pirates. Hampton’s Jaylin Williams was 16-for-26 with an interception that helped the Pirates advance to the Aggies 41-yard line. Nose guard Marquis Ragland gave the Aggies a 1stand-10 from the 40 after putting away Williams on a quarterback sneak. Williams was then

sacked and had the ball forced out of his hands. Freshman linebacker Joshua Patrick also recovered the ball at the Aggies 35 with 8:24 remaining in the game. “I am especially proud of my coaches and players for the win against Hampton, after a short week and two games to prepare for. Mentally, I was concerned about the physical part of the game,” said Broadway. Senior Desmond Lawrence scored on a 68-yard run. Klugh’s pass for two points was good to Dequan Swann, giving N.C. A&T a 28-14 lead with 14:47 left in the game. A

23-yard field goal from kicker Cody Jones at the 3:53 made the score 31-14. Defensive Back Marquis Boyan led the Aggies with eight solo tackles, while Ragland added the key fourth down stop, eight tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. Next, the Aggies will face Delaware State on Saturday, Oct.18 in Dover, Del.
