Chipotles temporarily close in Washington, Oregon because of E. coli threats

Ex-Duke researcher faked his research The federal government ruled Monday that Anil Potti, a former Duke University researcher, exaggerated and falsified data that claimed he discovered a better way to treat cancer. His claims were found to be exaggerated.

Potti claimed he discovered how to prescribe a chemotherapy drug based on a patient’s tumor. Duke halted work on his clinical trials and retracted nine of his published articles. Potti also claimed he was a Rhodes scholar. Other researchers have raised questions about Potti’s research as far back as soon 2006, the lawsuits allege. However, Duke still enrolled patients in three clinical trials, in hopes to patent and spin off a cancer-screening test. If Potti conducts any research within the next five years, he must be supervised.

Seaworld to get rid of killer whale show SeaWorld said it plans to phase out its longstanding killer whale show at the San Diego park location next year as part of a strategy to rebrand its company in light of criticisms of how it treats its orcas. The new show in 2017 will feature orcas in a more natural setting. However, SeaWorld said they would fight the recent ruling by the California Coastal Commission to prohibit it from breeding its orcas as a condition of moving forward with the tank expansion projects. There has been no mention of changes in the Orlando or San Antonio SeaWorld locations.

Roughly 60 students gathered Monday night to sew, create and discuss moccasins as a part of a national campaign called “Rock Your Mocs” to highlight indigenous people and their fashion.

The host, Native American Student Association, provided 50 sets of moccasins and gave them all out before the event was halfway through. The event was a part of Native American Heritage month in partnership with Cisco.

A worn lock allowed two inmates to escape from a transport van in Raleigh last week, according to a North Carolina sheriff ’s office.

“A door lock bar on a cage inside a Lincoln County Sheriff ’s Office prisoner transport van became worn over years of opening and closing and prematurely released as detention officers were transporting prisoners to several prisons around the Raleigh area,” the Lincoln County Sheriff ’s Office announced.

Damarcus Dashaun Dixon, 19, and Lo- Logan Lone gan Gene Long, 24, were found in a shed around 10:30 a.m. a couple of blocks away from Western Boulevard. They escaped from the van around Damarcus Dixon 9:45 a.m.

SOURCE: NORTH CARL i n c o l n C o u n t y OLINA DEPARTMENT Sheriff David Carpen- OF PUBLIC SAFETY ter said the vibrations from the highway and traveling caused the bar to bump out of place and into the unlock position. From there, the prisoners were able to reach through a slim opening and release the back door on the van from inside.

The inmates were en route to Polk Correctional Center from a court appearance in Lincoln County.

Because of the incident, new security measures have been taken. Prisoner transport vans will no longer be able to be unlocked from the inside of the side and back doors.

Five other inmates were in the van at the time and did not try to escape.

University of Missouri president resigns Staff Report

The University of Missouri system President Timothy M. Wolfe announced his resignation Monday morning after months of protesting from faculty and students. Just hours later, Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin announced that he would be stepping down to a less prominent role within the university at the beginning of the year.

“This university is in pain right now ... and it needs healing,” Wolfe told the university system’s governing Board of Curators in Columbia, Missouri. Wolfe also encouraged the university to “focus on what we can change” in the future, not what has happened in the past, according to CNN. According to Black student leaders on campus, students have been openly using racial and homophobic slurs as well other incidents have taken place on the University of Missouri at Columbia’s predominately white campus. University leaders have been accused of doing little to deal with the issues and respond to the protests.

Students and faculty that took part in the opposition were inspired by the movements that took place last year in Ferguson, Missouri after an unarmed black man, Michael Brown, was shot and killed by a white police officer, Darren Wilson.

The two groups saw themselves as continuing the “Black Lives Matter” national movement.

Jonathan Butler, an AfricanAmerican graduate student at the university, took it upon himself to address to the university’s lack of action by starting a hunger strike last week. Butler ended his strike after Wolfe announced his resig-

“It is disgusting and vile that we find ourselves in the place that we do,” Butler said about his strike.

Butler’s hunger strike was followed by the highest-profile blow to the university: the Missouri football team announced on Saturday that it would not play until Wolfe was removed from office.

“The athletes of color on the University of Missouri football team truly believe ‘Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere’ We will no longer participate in any football related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalized students’ experience. WE ARE UNITED!!!!!,” defensive back Anthony Sherrils posted to Twitter.

Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel and athletic director Mack Rhoades were in support of the team.

“It was about supporting my players when they needed me. I did the right thing and I would do it again,” Pinkel told reporters on Monday.

Protesters tour NC against Publix market Caroline LaFave Correspondent

This past Sunday, protesters gathered in the chilly gray afternoon with signs displaying bright red tomatoes in front of the Publix supermarket in Cary, inspired by the purpose of their cause. Organized by the Coalition of the Immokalee Workers (CIW) from Florida, the protest known as the Publix Truth Tour has made appearances in cities across North Carolina including: Asheville, Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill and Charlotte.

The CIW is a worker-based and worker-run human rights organization founded in 1993 by workers in the tomato industry of Florida.

Their Publix Truth Tour strives to give Florida farmworkers the opportunity to spread awareness of the poverty and exploitation behind the food we eat. It also encourages Publix to join CIW’s program, the Fair Food Program.

According to Lupe Gonzalo, a farmworker that has followed the tomato harvest on the east coast for 12 years and a three-year member of the CIW, in order for a corporation to be Fair Food Program certified, there are three CIW demands it must comply with.

These demands include: pay an extra penny per pound for every pound of tomatoes that they buy from growers, purchase only from farms that implement this code of conduct on their farms—which calls for zero tolerance for sexual harassment and modern-day slavery—and allow the workers to have a voice in their workplace.

“We know that farmworkers have traditionally faced many different types of abuses in the fields on behalf of their supervisors or the owners of the fields,” Gonzalo said. “For

Green efforts reduce campus waste, increase efficiency Staff Report

Nearly 50 percent of campus waste was diverted from going to a landfill thanks to new initiatives around campus, according to the annual NC State Sustainability Report.

The Waste Characterization Study took samples from 32 dumpsters throughout campus during a two-week time period this spring. The findings will help drive developments and improvements for future projects aimed at reducing waste.

The university aims to hit a 60 percent landfill diversion this year.

Several accomplishments have been made in the past year thanks to NC State initiatives: • In its second year, the Pizza Box Composting program has composted 10,760 pizza boxes. The program is a partnership between University Housing and Waste

reduction and recycling.

The program is continually expanding.

NC State Environmental Health and Safety is responsible for repurposing thousands of f luorescent lamps and batteries and preventing them from ending up at the landfill.

Nearly 4,500 plastic bags were recycled last year because of the NC State Stewards student group.

Two recreational fields on Centennial Campus were used in a study that successfully proved that grass is healthier when fed with compost or fertilizer. University Recreation and Grounds Management partnered to form the study.

About 26 tons of food and packaging waste were composted last year.

The trashcans in the classrooms at the Poole

College of Management were removed so that those in the building would be forced to waste stations that include recycling.

In the upcoming years, the university aims to: • Develop a more extensive outdoor walkway recycling program to capture additional recyclable materials and remove them from the waste stream. To do this, the university aims to pilot more solar-powered waste and recycling compactor units, and extend their use to Centennial campus. So far, there is one unit located at Carmichael Gym. • Apply modern waste collection technologies to streamline services.

One way the university accomplishes this is converting the oil produced from the dining halls into biofuel.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has awarded NC State a grant of $6.7 million to support pest control research which has the potential to save the agriculture industry hundreds of millions of dollars.

NC State will conduct research on possible pest control methods for a relatively new invasive species of fruit fly, spotted wing drosophila, that has become an increasing annoyance all over the United States. The fruit flies lay eggs resulting in larvae that grow in blueberry, strawberry, blackberry and cherry crops. The larvae feed on the fruit, which introduces microbes that cause the fruit to decay.

Marketers have a zero tolerance policy with the larvae—if any shipments of fruit contain even one larva, then the whole shipment is rejected, which creates a huge loss for the growers.

Another focus of the research is to develop different strategies to help growers reduce their reliance on insecticides because they can have large blanket impacts on an area’s ecosystem. However, the

research hopes to implement genetic control strategies to decrease insecticide use.

One of the suggested genetic approaches is genetically sterilizing the male flies to decrease population. Another proposed ecological strategy would be the injection of a species-specific predator that would only target these pests.

“The advantage of this genetic approach is that it is very species specific so you’re only targeting the invasive species,” said Max Scott, an associate professor of Entomology at NC State and participant in the research project, said. “The downside is that it is very expensive so it works best when the target population is low.”

As Scott described, a combination of efforts are required to curb this pest. The research team is also developing population models to efficiently monitor and predict the population of these invasive species, in addition to the proposed introduction of species-specific predators and genetically altered sterile males.

The population models aim to bring down current populations and the genetic control strategies to increase genetic suppression anywhere from

three to 10 fold and growers may experience positive change within as early as the next five years, according to Scott.

“We want to make this process as efficient as possible,” Scott said.

The fruit flies have only recently been introduced to the continental United States. The spotted wing drosophila, the species of fruit fly currently infesting crops across the U.S., is not native to North America.

They were first found in California in 2008 and reached North Carolina by 2010.

In the span of seven years the U.S. has gone from not having these pests anywhere, to having them become a widespread issue.

Hannah Burrack, an associate professor of entomology and extension specialist is the grant’s team leader. Also working on the research project are Zack Brown, an assistant professor from the agricultural and resource economics department; Rhonda Conlon, director of the extension information technology department; and Jean-Jaques Dubois, research coordinator with the Southern Integrated Pest Management Center.

row in scouts with Sully Lodge and I was involved with Indian Affairs … they do ceremonies, southern drum competitions and dances.”

With Halloween having recently ended and plenty of traditional Native American clothing appropriated, Emily Zucker, a senior studying mathematics and a member of Alpha Pi Omega, NC State’s Native American sorority, explained the differences between someone dressing up in a Native American headdress and someone wearing moccasins around campus in support of indigenous peoples.

“With a headdress, that has a really strong significance, spiritually,” Zucker said. “The feathers represent sort of a connection to the creator and only certain people will wear a headdress ...

Especially when women wear it—only chiefs wear headdresses, and only men are chiefs. You can’t just do that. You can’t just parade that around.”

According to Zucker just wearing moccasins is a bit different—they’re more modern. With the absence of feathers and other special decorations, there is no spiritual representation behind wearing moccasins.

“We work closely with the Cherokee and make sure our outfits are representative of what they at one point looked like,” Johnson said. “We make sure what we’re wearing is appropriate and that [the Cherokee Tribe] are okay with it.”

According to Zucker her understanding of indigenous peoples comes from her participation with Alpha Pi Omega.

“Our whole mission is to create a support for college women in today’s society and it’s not exclusive to Native Americans,” Zucker said. “I’m not actually Native American but I like their views a lot and their sense of community, and it is wholeheartedly a sisterhood.

The sorority has four different clans that each represents one of their founding principles, Zucker explained.

There’s the earth clan for education, the water clan for contemporary issues, the air clan for spirituality, and the fire clan for traditionalism. Each sister is sorted into a clan based on her personality and passions.

“We are meant to embody all four of those clans, but after you go through the process, the sisters choose for you which clan you’re initiated into,” Zucker said. “I’m the earth clan.”

In partnership with Native American Heritage Month, Alpha Pi Omega, will be hosting a Native Art Show in the MSA department Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. It is open for students to submit any form of art pieces, with two categories: one for Native American art and one for general student art.

Why I am not a libertarian A

. G. Gardiner wrote, “[W]e can be neither complete anarchists nor complete Daniel Root Socialists in Staff Columnist this complex world — or rather we must be a judicious mixture of both.

We have both liberties to preserve — our individual liberty and our social liberty. We must watch the bureaucrat on the one side and warn off the anarchist on the other.” This theme of moderate liberty is one that I will be exploring in this series.

America is haunted by a specter, the specter of libertarianism. I am not a libertarian, and through this series of columns I shall endeavor to illustrate some of the most glaring flaws of this meretricious political philosophy. In this column I will lay out a working definition of libertarianism. Next time, I will express the need for government regulation. In the third column I will discuss the merits of the welfare state. And in the final column I shall offer some advice as to what we ought to do about libertarianism.

First, it is important that I define libertarianism. Libertarianism is quite a broad philosophy with many different branches, each with a legitimate claim to the moniker. In the broadest sense, libertarianism is, as defined by the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, “a political philosophy that affirms the rights of individuals to liberty, to acquire, keep, and exchange their holdings, and considers the protection of individual rights the primary role for the state.” Under this definition, nearly everyone in the Western tradition is a libertarian.

For the sake of this series, I will define libertarianism in what is likely its most familiar guise in America: that of

the Libertarian Party. The Libertarian Party is a growing third party in the American political landscape — indeed its website claims that it is the third-largest political party in America. Not everyone who is a libertarian is a member of this party — Rand Paul, for example, is a libertarian in the Republican Party. However, the Libertarian Party is a good place to look for the foundational beliefs of libertarians of all parties.

The Libertarian Party’s slogan is “minimum government, maximum freedom.”

In fact, the party says, “Libertarians strongly oppose any government interfering in their personal, family and business decisions. Essentially, … [libertarians] believe all Americans should be free to live their lives and pursue their interests as they see fit as long as they do no harm to another.

In a nutshell, … [libertarians] are advocates for a smaller government, lower taxes and more freedom.” After sifting through the propaganda, one can see what this ideology is all about.

In a sense, libertarians can be thought of as an amalgamation of the Democratic and Republican Parties. Libertarians are more like Democrats vis-à-vis social issues and more like Republicans vis-àvis economic issues. This is an oversimplification, but it is a simple way to summarize a complex ideology.

What about Ayn Rand? She had a very fascinating relationship with libertarianism.

Rand described libertarians as “hippies … who subordinate reason to whims, and substitute anarchism for capitalism.” The point Rand makes is that libertarians lack the objective framework that she espoused. To her, libertarians were purely anarchic subjec-

tivists. However, the Ayn Rand Institute points out that “the meaning of the term ‘libertarian’ has been changing over the decades.” According to a more modern definition, Ayn Rand is a libertarian.

Rand’s philosophy is largely libertarian in its advocating of laissez-faire capitalism and minimal government. According to Rand, “[T]he only proper purpose of a government is to protect man’s rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. A proper government is only a policeman.”

I should say now that this series is not an attack on capitalism, but rather an attack on capitalism run amok. There is more to life than cheap cotton shirts and the Kardashians, consumerism and popular culture. Capitalism must be regulated if the modern world is to survive politically, economically, spiritually and aesthetically.

To conclude, for the sake of this series, a libertarian is defined as one who holds that government should be kept to a minimum and that the market should be completely unfettered. Libertarians believe that the current ills of America are the result of government involvement. They believe that people will prosper if left to their own devices, and that people will simply pull themselves up by their bootstraps and work to achieve success. It is a philosophy of rugged individualism, which is why it is so enticing to many Americans.

Yet one must be wary because libertarianism is among the most vacuous political philosophies ever devised. It is an ignorant ideology that reeks of adolescent rebellion with a touch of anarchism.

Unrestrained economic and political freedom will not lead to liberty and justice for all.

How does cultural diversity relate to community growth?

“The more diverse your community is, the bigger it will become. If you relate this question to structures, the bigger base you have, the higher the structure is able to be built. In a metaphorical sense, your community would be able to grow ‘higher’ and bigger because of the wide base caused by diversity.”

Re: Does religion even matter in life?

T

he answer to the question is a resounding yes. Religion matters in life for two broad reasons: one, because the view we have about the Ben Banks f ut u re for ourselves Guest Columnist and the world will affect the present lives we live. And secondly, religion matters because if there is a true religion, then aligning with its tenets is paramount to living a life of high purpose and honesty to the correct lifestyle. However, if there’s not a true religion, then it’s not relevant and has no more importance than your favorite cereal.

The assumed qualitative measurement in the determination of whether religion “matters” in the article, “Does religion even matter in life?” is two-fold — one, if it provides solutions to our problems we face, and two, if it makes a difference. We’re not given clarification as to what is meant by “difference,” but the likely answer is if it provides us with solutions to our problems. The obvious flaw in this is that it’s extremely pragmatic; religion is viewed as simply a means to an end. In subscribing to this idea, we sacrifice the potential to find total truth for the weak alternative of pragmatism. Truth trumps pragmatic results, for truth leads to better conclusions, just as baking a cake with the right directions ends with a better tasting cake. We must realize the importance of truth over feelings and pragmatic results, because it’s the truth that has the grounding power necessary to give us the solutions

we yearn for.

During our quest for total truth, we must examine the potential for a religion to be the truth, and with that comes the inevitable and infamous question: “Does science refute religion?” This is not a question that should be treated lightly because the conclusion we come to will affect our outlook on the truth of religion in the future. In short, there’s nothing about science that is against religion; it isn’t an “either/or” scenario. A worldview (religion) encompasses science and its rules on the discovery process. Therefore, a scientific discovery in context of religion does not refute religious beliefs, but discovers and cultivates an understanding of the world. However, more importantly, if we conclude science is the only determiner of what’s true, then we unavoidably shoot ourselves in the foot — it’s a selfrefuting claim that science is the only medium to discover truth, for that statement itself is not a scientifically provable claim. More than that, you are unable to test the truth of existence, love, empathy, joy or consciousness under a microscope in a lab; these are all human experiences that cannot be explained by a formula, and to do so is to dehumanize people to nothing more than robotic mammals.

Further down the trail of truth-seeking, we will find ourselves wondering if a religious belief is capable of holding up to our intellectual inquiries, or if it’s irrational and unsubstantiated. The author stated “… gone are the days

to blindly follow what religion preaches.” This is true, but more should be said; it’s possible to intellectually research religion. We must not make the assumption that religion is incapable of being believed apart from intellectual inquiry. Faith isn’t solely reserved for the private personal life, but also for the mind, thinking and scholarly inquiry.

Every single human being worships (or idolizes) something — we all get excited and enthusiastic about something, we all have that one thing, person or idea that we value above the rest, that gives us our worth (Romans 1:25).

This world is beyond repair, beyond pragmatic solutions, beyond a change in actions, the problem with this world (and no one believes there is not a problem) is the wretched nature of our own heart. We know what we ought to do, but do not do so (Jeremiah 17:9, Romans 1:32). The solution is far more than a religion, but much less than following legalistic religious rituals (Matthew 23:35-28). The solution is found where ultimate justice and mercy meet, it is where punishment and blessing intersect, it is where love and hatred cross, it is where the only righteous Man died to bear the justice that we deserve by not following the holy law of God. The answer we all want and yearn for isn’t found within ourselves or by ourselves, the answer is found hanging on a cross 2,000 years ago saying “It is finished,” securing the coming restoration of all that originally ought to have been.

To Taiwan: Never trust a communist

he presidents of China and Taiwan met for the first time after over 65 years of hostile standof f during their visits in Singapore.

President Xi Jingping of China and President Ma Yingjeou of Ta iwa n forged the historic Ziyi Mai moment of shaking Staff Columnist hands and greeting with the media on Nov. 7 before going to a functions room in a hotel in Singapore. Later they held conference to brief the media and public on what they held as common ground.

66 years ago, a civil war following World War II swept through mainland China, which ended with the Communist Party taking over China and forcing the thenpresident Chiang Kai-shek to retreat to the island Taiwan. Since then, the relation between China

and Taiwan had been strained and had not eased until the 1990s, when the two sides agreed to stick with the “One China” recognition, each holding their own interpretation.

The cross-strait relation has been mostly steady under the “One China” framework for two decades.

But maintaining the peace and status quo between China and Taiwan never comes easy. The leaders of China that came after Mao have always wanted to reunify with Taiwan, even by military means if necessary. As a leading society of advancing rule of law and democracy in East Asia, voices of gaining independence have certainly arisen, though Taiwan is already a de facto independent country since China has no effective control over it.

The meeting in Singapore showed that top leaders in China, in their efforts toward peaceful talks and a civil bilateral connection with the leaders in Taiwan, have not given

up their desire for reunification.

The meeting had its merit in terms of maintaining peace at least in the foreseeable future. But the leaders and public of Taiwan should not maintain any hope of reunifying with China just because the president released a soft message to the Taiwanese people.

Reunion between two sides that have radically different political system has many conditions. Until the day that these conditions are satisfied, separation is better off than union. The history of the Communist Party has shown that it does not value its credibility and has limited commitment to enforcing laws over time.

In 1946, the Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong, the communist leader, held talks in the southwestern city Chongqing and agreed to form a constitutional and democratic government. But soon the communists launched

military attacks against the nationalists and started a civil war. Mao praised the United States many times on leading the free world and he himself fully embraced the spirit of liberty. But once Mao and his party seized power, they turned hostile to the U.S. and the West, leading into part of the Cold War. A recent example of the Communist Party not being able to respect treaty was when it repeatedly intervened Hong Kong’s rule of law and autonomy since its handover from the Britain. And the party does not keep up its promise to respect the fundamental law of Hong Kong to allow free election of Hong Kong’s chief executive. The Chinese government’s failure to comprise free election sparked months of largescale street protests last year.

such that the current leaders are able to easily ignore previous leaders’ promises. Deng Xiaoping was the honorable leader who introduced China to the liberalization of market economy and held negotiations with the UK government on Hong Kong’s handover. Deng had made many promises toward Hong Kong’s arrangement and future. But his successors have significantly weakened those promises already.

If China were to launch effective reforms regarding its political and judicial system toward the right direction, any attempt to reunify across the Taiwan Strait is a dangerous adventure to Taiwan’s democratic society and its autonomy.

Though currently the international community does not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state, it is still better for Taiwan than giving up its own ability to a political regime that cannot be trusted.

Manifestantes vinieron a NC contra el mercado de Publix Caroline LaFave Corresponsal

El domingo pasado, manifestantes congregaron juntos en la tarde fría y gris con letreros de dibujos de tomates rojos y brillantes enfrente del supermercado de Publix local en Cary, inspirados por el objetivo de su causa. Organizada por la Coalición de los trabajadores de Immokalee de Florida (CIW), la protesta conocida como el Tour de la verdad de Publix ha aparecido en las ciudades por Carolina de Norte incluyendo: Asheville, Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill y Charlotte.

La Coalición de los trabajadores de Immokalee (CIW) es una organización por los derechos humanos, para los campesinos, fundado en 1993 por trabajadores en la industria de tomate de la Florida. Su Tour de la verdad de Publix esfuerza para dar a los campesinos la oportunidad de crear conciencia de la pobreza y la explotación detrás de la comida que comemos diariamente. También, la organización urge a Publix a juntar el programa de CIW, el Program de comida justa.

Según Lupe Gonzalo, una trabajadora agrícola que ha cosechado tomates en la costa este por 12 años y una miembra de CIW por tres años, para que la corporación sea certificada del Programa de comida justa, hay tres demandas necesarias para cumplir con los requisitos.

Estas demandas incluyen: pagar un centavo extra por cada libra de tomatoes que compran de cultivadores, comprar sólo de las fincas que sigan un código de conducto para los trabajadores — que llama para cero tolerancia para acoso sexual y la esclavitud de ahora — y permite a los empleados tener una voz en sus puestos.

“Por muchos años sabemos que en la industria de agrícola había muchos problemas,” dijo Gonzalo. “Por ejemplo, han habido problemas de robo de salario, de discriminación, acoso

El domingo, manifestanates vinieron para manifestar Publix para el tour de la verdad de Publix por la Coalición de trabajadores de Immokalee en Cary, NC, que fue la última parada. El programa de comida justa de CIW, para la primera vez, expandió a Carolina del norte.

sexual, y abuso verbal y físico de parte de supervisores, y en casos más extremas, la esclavitud moderna.”

El Programa de comida justa de CIW fue fundado en 2011 y provee una alianza con negocios para apoyar la responsabilidad social de trabajadores. De acuerdo de el sitio de CIW, desde el empiezo del programa, ha contribuido $15 millones a la nómina de las granjas de tomates de Florida. Algunos partidarios son Walmart, McDonalds, Burger King and Taco Bell.

“Lo que esto significa para los trabajadores es que por primera vez están recibiendo educación sobre cuáles son sus derechos debajo del programa,” dijo Gonzalo. “Son capaces de obtener mejores salarios a través de la prima de un centavo por libra. Los trabajadores ahora por primera vez tienen el derecho de reportar abusos

que están pasando dentro de su lugar de trabajo, caiga una solución a esos problemas, y mejorar su sueldo. Queremos que los trabajadores tengan las protecciones necesarias que antes no tenían.”

Por el conocimiento las protestas, y la búsqueda del apoyo de los clientes y las corporaciones, el CIW trabaja para incentivar los cultivadores para juntar el Programa de la comida justa. Hasta ahora, 14 negocios y 32 productores están certificados por el programa de comida justa. Es una reacción cadena — si los clientes quieren comprar comida justa, la corporación tendrá que proveerla, y los cultivadores tendrán que suministrarla.

Una manifestante, Ann Rothe, un bibliotecario retirado de la Universidad Estatal de Carolina del Norte dijo que este fue su primera vez en una protesta. Rothe dijo que tiene

una historia con trabajo agrícola, entonces se sentía que necesitaba apoyar la coalición.

“Creo que hay fuerza en los números,” dijo Rothe, “y la publicidad que se recibe después de este tipo de evento - simplemente se acumula poco por poco. Soy una pequeña gota en el mar, sino que se suman. Que me identifico en cierta medida, he trabajado con el tabaco, y por eso la causa tiene mi corazón también.”

En respuesta a la manifestación , Kim Reynolds, la Gerente de la división de relaciones comunitarias y los medios de Publix en Charlotte, dio la opinión de la corporación en esta situación.

“Lo que está pasando hoy, de verdad creemos que este es un conflicto laboral,” dijo Reynolds. “La CIW está pidiendo a Publix pagar un centavo más por libra de tomates que se reco-

gen, y estamos más que dispuestos a pagar ese centavo más por libra siempre que sea en el precio que tenemos que pagar por los tomates. Entonces, si nuestros proveedores nos cobran esa cantidad, lo que sea el valor de mercado, sin duda nos pagamos. No es apropiado para nosotros paguemos los trabajadores que no son nuestros propios empleados o asociados.”

A pesar de la respuesta de Publix en domingo, el CIW continuará trabajar para salarios más altos y derechos mejores para los campesinos.

Muchas veces, clientes no saben lo que está detrás de los productos que consumen cada día, entonces no saben que hay una conexión fuerte entre nosotros trabajadores y el cliente,” dijo Gonzalo. Si comes cada día, hay una persona trabajando mucho a cosechar ese producto.”

Ex alumno comparte su experiencia de América Latina Caitlin Neal Corresponsal

Ex alumno de NC State Saúl Flores usó muchos modos de transporte como caminar, hacer dedo y piragüismo en el verano de 2010 para viajar por 10 países latinoamericanos. El hizo esto como una metáfora de los viajes que millones de inmigrantes participan para llegar a los Estados Unidos.

Flores documentó su travesía de 5.328 miles de Quito, Ecuador a Charlotte, Carolina del norte por el arte de fotografía.

Cinco años después, NC State da la bienvenida a Flores para ref lejar y presentar su fotografía y experiencias el jueves a las 7 de la noche en la Biblioteca de Hunt en el Teatro inmersión de iPearl. La presentación titulada, “El Camino de los Inmigrantes” es patrocinado por las bibliotecas de NC State y el Museo de historia de Carolina del norte en su exhibición de “Latinoamericanos: 500 años de historia.” “Él captura la belleza de la vida cotidiana,” dijo Marian Fragola, la directora de planeando los programas y eventos de las bibliotecas de NC State mientras ella admiró una de las fotos de Flores que muestra una mujer caminando enfrente de un edificio vibrante con una cesta de productos arriba de su cabeza.

El proyecto de Flores, “El Camino de los Inmigrantes,” incluye las fotos de 10 países en que él viajó incluyendo: Ecuador, Colombia, Panamá, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Belice, Guatemala y México. “‘El Camino de los Inmigrantes’ tiene una meta para actuar como una narrativa por imágenes para enseñar la empatía y recordar nuestras culturas de las semejanzas que tenemos como humanos,” dijo Flores es su página de web. “Durante mi viaje, capturé los valores culturales, las luchas y los problemas más prominentes de estos países por imágenes. Es la historia de América Latina, la gente de América Latina, y luego yo creo una ventana para compartir la historia con otras culturas del mundo.”

Fragola dijo que le gusta la idea de Flores regresando al campus porque él ha tenido tiempo para ref lejar y introducir su trabajo a una audiencia nueva.

En respuesta a la invitación para participar en el evento de “Latinoamericanos: 500

años de historia” de las bibliotecas de NCSU, Flores le dijo, “Por los pocos años pasados, básicamente pasé mi tiempo en el fondo de los camiones buscando la aventura y tomando las fotos. Mi amor para la narración me ha llevado por todo el mundo. Ahora, ese mismo amor para la gente me está llevando a [NC State y el museo de historia en Carolina del norte].”

Además de sus fotografías, sus viajes y arte tienen conexiones personales y profundas.

La madre de Flores emigró a los Estados Unidos de Atencingo, México para buscar mejor oportunidades y recursos educacionales. En honor de su herencia y causa, Flores da las ganancias de las fotos que son vendidas para financiar una escuela primaria en Atencingo que se llama General Emiliano Zapata. Según Flores, su fotografía no sólo es una forma de arte que expanda las perspectivas de individuales sino

también es una fuente de oportunidad para los estudiantes.

Su filantropía, arte y perspectivas ha creado un impacto global con más que 40.000 seguidores de más que 140 países y ha sido transmitido en más que 135 ciudades en los Estados Unidos.

La inf luencia de Flores promueve “educación, empatía, y humanidad” y continúa a compartir su experiencias en eventos como la presentación que está en campus.

En adición de compartiendo “El camino de los inmigrantes,” Flores está trabajando de su próximo proyecto llamado “El piel de las nativas,” y actualmente es el Consejero Executivo Principal y un diseñador gráfico para Pixbit en Raleigh.

“Una de mis cosas favoritas es presentar el trabajo de los estudiantes de NC State,” dijo Fragola. “Estoy emocionada para la audiencia a ver la pasión de Saúl y como

él toma este pasión y lo transforma a algo positivo. El viaja con una misión y con un ojo a la gente, y me gustaría que más personas conozcan su trabajo.”

Como resultado, la presentación de “El Camino de los Inmigrantes” es una oportunidad para ver a una meta realizada y aprender de otras naciones y culturas.

La presentación de Flores es gratis y abierta al público. Sus fotografías están expuestas digitalmente en la biblioteca de D.H. Hill en el fondo de Learning Commons y también en la biblioteca de Hunt en el Teatro inmersión de iPearl antes de y después del día de la presentación.

The Coalition of Immokalee Workers’ Fair Food Program was founded in 2011 and provides an alliance with retailers to support worker-driven social responsibility. According the CIW website, since the start of the program it has contributed $15 million to Florida tomato farms’ payrolls. Some of their supporters include Walmart, McDonalds, Burger King and Taco Bell.

“What this means for workers is that for the first time they are receiving education on what their rights are under the program,” Gonzalo said. “They’re able to get better pay through the penny-per-pound premium.

They also have a mechanism through which to file complaints – not just file them, but see them through to resolution – and make sure that the exploitation that they were facing in the past

is no longer happening. We want to make sure that the workers have the necessary protections that they didn’t have before.”

Through awareness protests, and seeking the support of consumers and corporations, the CIW strives to incentivize growers to join the Fair Food Program.

Thus far, 14 companies and 32 growers have been Fair Food Program Certified.

It is a chain reaction – if consumers want to buy fair food, then corporations will have to source it, and if corporations want fair food, then growers will have to supply it.

Protester, Ann Rothe, a retired university library technician from NC State University said this was her first time joining a protest.

Rothe said she has history with farm work, so she felt like she needed to support the coalition.

“I feel there’s strength in numbers and the publicity that is received after these kinds of events – it just builds little by little,” Rothe said. “I’m one little drop in the bucket, but they all add up. I identify to a certain extent, I’ve worked with tobacco, so my heart is in

it too.”

In response to the protest, Kim Reynolds, the Charlotte division manager of media and community relations for Publix, gave the corporation’s view of the situation.

“What’s happening here today is that we truly believe that this is a labor dispute,” Reynolds said.

“The Coalition of Immokalee workers is asking Publix to pay a penny more per pound for tomatoes that are picked, and we are more than willing to pay that extra penny per pound provided that it’s put into the price that we pay for tomatoes. So, if our suppliers charge us that amount,

whatever that market value is, we will definitely pay it.

It’s not appropriate for us to pay workers who are not our own employees or associates.”

De s pite t he re s pon s e from Publix on Sunday, the CIW will continue to work toward higher wages and improved rights for farmworkers.

“Many times, consumers don’t know what is behind the products that they consume every day, so they don’t know that there is a strong connection between us workers and the consumer,” Gonzalo said. “If you eat every day, then there is a person working hard to harvest that produce.”

Outside of Publix in Cary, protesters gather for the Publix Truth Tour on Sunday. They held signs of red tomatoes demanding better rights for farmworkers.

Alumnus shares experience of Latin America Caitlin Neal Corresponsal

NC State alumnus Saul Flores took any mode of transportation including walking, hitchhiking and canoeing in the summer of 2010 to travel across 10 Latin American nations as a metaphor for the journeys that millions of immigrants take to reach the United States.

He documented his journey of 5,328 miles from Quito, Ecuador to Charlotte through the art of photography.

Five years later, NC State welcomes back Flores to reflect and present his photography and experiences Thursday at 7 p.m. at Hunt Library in the iPearl Immersion Theater. His presentation titled, “The Walk of the Immigrants” is being brought to the public by NCSU Libraries and the North Carolina Museum of History’s exhibition of “Latino Americans: 500 Years of History.”

“He captures the beauty of everyday life,” said Marian Fragola, NCSU Libraries’ director of program planning and outreach, as she admired one of Flores’ photographs that features a woman walking in front of a vibrant building with a basket of goods on her head.

His project, “The Walk of the Immigrants,” includes photographs from the 10 countries he traveled to including: Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Belize, Guatemala and Mexico. “‘The Walk of the Immigrants’ was meant to act as an image narrative that teaches empathy, and reminds our cultures of the commonalities that we have as people,” Flores wrote on his website. “Throughout my journey I captured the cultural values, the struggles, and most prominent issues of these countries through images. It is the story of Latin America, and the people of Latin America, and then creating a window to share that with the other cultures of the world.”

Fragola said she likes the idea of bringing Flores back to campus as he has had time to reflect and introduce his work to new audiences.

In response to the invitation to participate in the “Latino Americans: 500 years of History” event and NCSU Libraries’ event, Flores stated, “For the last few years, I’ve pretty much spent my time on the back of trucks looking for adventure and taking photographs. My love for storytelling has taken me across the world. Now, that same love for people is taking me to [NC State and North Carolina History Museum].”

In addition to his photographs, his journeys and art have deep personal

connections. Flores’ mother emigrated to the United States from Atencingo, Mexico in search of better opportunities and educational resources. In honor of his heritage and cause, Flores gives the proceeds from his sold photographs to fund an elementary school in Atencingo called General Emiliano Zapata. According to Flores his photography is not only an art form that expands the perspective of individuals but it is also a source of opportunity for students.

Through his philanthropy, art and perspective, a global impact has been made as he has reached over 40,000 followers from over 140 countries and has been broadcasted in more than 135 cities in the United States.

Flores’ influence spans across avenues, promoting “education, empathy and humanity” and he continues to share his experiences at events such as the one taking place on campus.

In addition to the continuation of sharing “The Walk of the Immigrants,” Flores is working on a follow up project called “Skin of Natives,” and is currently a graphic designer and CEO for Pixbit in Raleigh.

“One of my favorite things is to feature the work of NC State students,” Fragola said. “I am excited for

WRESTLING

The younger wrestlers on the team are taking notice too, as Rohskopf and Jack have been paying attention to how Gwiazdowski leads the team.

“Nick shows that you have to really focus on the small details and doing the little things right,” Rohskopf said. “I thought that I was really good at that, but after watching [Nick] do it, I realized that I still have a lot to improve on.”

Despite competing at vastly different weight classes, Jack pulls inspiration from Gwiazdowski’s success at such an elite level.

“I definitely feel like he’s the kind of guy who leads by example,” Jack said. “When you see a guy go out and win two national

titles, you kind of want to see what he’s doing and be able to do what he’s doing. You wanna get to the level that he’s at.”

Gwiazdowski has been one of the best wrestlers in program history, notching a spectacular 77-2 record, a 97.4 win percentage, during his time with the Wolfpack. Despite this being his last year, Gwiazdowski remains hopeful that the program will remain successful after his departure.

“The ‘Skipper’ Pat works really hard,” Gwiazdowski said.

“He and all the assistant coaches want to see the program do well, and we are not satisfied with where the program is at right now.”

With fewer and fewer reliable starting quarterbacks to be found in the NFL, Glennon’s opportunity to start elsewhere in the NFL should come eventually. CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora is one of the many who speculates that Glennon’s time will come again.

“With Jameis Winston in town and the Bucs a rebuilding team, and Glennon getting deeper in his rookie deal, this makes a lot of sense,” La Canfora said. “The Bucs need draft picks and Winston will do well to have a veteran backup around him moving forward.”

Just this week, the NFL saw the 10th overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars of the 2011 NFL Draft in quarterback Blaine Gabbert get his second chance to start with a new team in the San Francisco 49ers. NC State alum Mike Glennon can only hope for the same amount of good fortune moving forward.

As the 2015-16 wrestling season kicks off this weekend in Troy, New York, sophomore Kevin Jack and redshirt senior Nick Gwiazdowski will both look to continue their excellent careers as NC State wrestlers.

For Jack, 2014-15 was a breakout year. The Danbury, Connecticut native competed at the 149-pound weight class during the 2014-2015 season, notching a 31-9 record, the best mark for a freshman in school history. He then went off on a tear at the NCAA tournament, finishing in fifth place. In his own words, the potential to win a national championship is there.

“I definitely feel like I have a shot at it this year,” Jack said. “It’s always a goal you have for the season, but I definitely feel like I have a shot at it this year.”

This season, FloWrestling has Jack ranked as the preseason third best wrestler in the 141-pound weight class. Head coach Pat Popolizio recognized that Jack won’t have the element of surprise like he did last season.

“He’s got a lot to prove still,” Popolizio said at Brickyard Bash in October. “He’s not gonna sneak up on anyone this year, but winners find ways to win and [Kevin] is a winner.”

Junior Max Rohskopf thinks that Jack is ready for the challenge as well.

“He’s a gamer; he’s gonna show up to compete when it’s time to compete,” Rohskopf said. “I think, mentally and physically, he’s matured. He’s going to be going into every match prepared.”

Jack has also been making plenty of preparations following his breakout season.

“Nobody knew about me last year,” the sophomore said. “I got the target on my back now, so we’re gonna stick to what I’m best at.”

Even Gwiazdowski, a two-time NCAA champion, has been taking notice at the progress that Jack has made this year, and his potential to be

a leader after he leaves NC State.

“People will always follow whoever’s winning,” Gwiazdowski said. “If he’s winning, people will always follow what he does.”

As for Gwiazdowski, the Delanson, New York native will look to improve on a stellar 20142015 season. The redshirt senior won his second straight national championship, becoming the first to appear in the finals in back-to-back years since Wolfpack heavyweight wrestler Sylvester Terkay did it in 1992 and 1993.

Gwiazdowski also spent time this summer competing for a spot on the national wrestling team. Gwiazdowski competed in Spain for a spot on the team, as well as taking on some of the world’s best talent. Even though “Gwiz” missed making the team by one spot, he viewed the experience as good preparation for the season.

“It’s my third year competing with those guys,” Gwiazdowski said. “It exposes me a little bit, and it’s a reminder that I need to improve and get better.”

Just this past weekend, however, Gwiazdowski took first place at the Bill Farrell Memorial Tournament, a qualifying event for Olympic trials.

With his win over 2009 Junior World champion Dom Bradley, Gwiazdowski will have the chance to compete for a spot on the U.S. Olympic squad in Iowa City, Iowa on April 9-10 of next year.

As a repeating national champion, Gwiazdowski, along with fellow redshirt senior Tommy Gantt, will be seen as the leaders for Wolfpack wrestling during the season for a young roster.

Popolizio views them as leaders by example.

“A lot of them lead by example, work ethic, attitude, confidence; confidence goes a long way in our sport,” Popolizio said. “We’ve basically had freshman and sophomores throughout the past few years, so it’s nice to have some seniors who have been through the grind of the season, and guys that can pull these younger guys back into it.”

No. 1 Clemson tops Week 11 ACC power rankings Joseph Ochoa Staff Writer

1. No.1 Clemson (9-0, 6-0 ACC) The Tigers earned a hard fought win in the rain at Death Valley, defeating the Seminoles 23-13. With the win, the Tigers clinched the Atlantic division and a berth in the ACC Championship game. Up next is Syracuse this Saturday at the Carrier Dome.

2. No. 17 UNC-Chapel Hill (8-1, 5-0 ACC) Marquise Williams had 404 yards and Elijah Hood ran three touchdowns, in the first half, as UNC went on to rout the Duke Blue Devils 66-31. The Tar Heels will probably need one more win in order to secure a spot in the ACC title game, and they will have a chance to attain a victory against Miami this weekend.

3. No. 19 Florida St. (7-2, 5-2 ACC) The Seminoles’ upset bid fell short against Clemson last Saturday, as the Seminoles fell 23-13. The Seminoles have now lost two of their last three games, and will face NC State at home this Saturday with an opportunity to right the ship.

4. Pittsburgh (6-3, 4-1 ACC) Pittsburgh lost its second straight game this past weekend, falling to Notre Dame 42-30.

The Panthers’ three losses have come against teams with a combined record of 25-2, and

will now have a matchup against a reeling 6-3 Duke team.

5. Louisville (5-4, 4-2 ACC) The Cardinals turned it around since their abysmal 0-3 start, winning five of their last six games, including a 41-17 smashing of Syracuse this past weekend. If the Cardinals can get a win against Virginia next, they can become bowl-eligible.

6. NC State (6-3, 2-3 ACC) The Wolfpack defeated Boston College 24-8 this past weekend to clinch bowl game eligibility. The Wolfpack managed to run efficiently despite losing junior Matt Dayes for the season, rushing for 139 yards and two touchdowns in his absence. The Wolfpack will face Florida St. in Tallahassee, with an opportunity to even its conference record.

7. Miami (6-3, 3-2 ACC) Miami has looked like a different team under interim coach Larry Scott, winning its second game in a row with a 27-21 win over the Virginia Cavaliers. The Hurricanes will have a chance to get back into the Coastal division race if they can upset the Tar Heels this weekend.

8. Duke (6-3, 3-2 ACC) Duke seemed to still be reeling from its heartbreaking loss to Miami, as they were throttled by the Tar Heels this past week-

COMMENTARY

Mike Glennon is more than just a backup quarterback After the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selec ted for mer Florida State quart e r b a c k Ja m e i s Winston as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the team garnered the Michael attention of critics McLamb that viewed WinStaff Writer ston as the league’s next foreseeable bust. With the NFL season at its midway point, Winston has showcased a considerable amount of potential, as the 21-year old has helped the Buccaneers to a 3-5 record, surpassing the team’s mark of 2-14 last season.

With Winston seemingly securing his status as the team’s future, NFL general managers are beginning to set their sights on the team’s backup

in former NC State standout Mike Glennon. Glennon was drafted by the Buccaneers in the third round (73rd overall pick) of the 2013 NFL Draft.

After starting the 2013 season at 0-3 under quarterback Josh Freeman, rookie Glennon was given his first opportunity to start in a Week 4 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Glennon finished the season as the Buccaneers’ starter, as the team finished 4-12 on the season with Glennon holding a 4-9 record as the starter.

Despite the Buccaneers’ disappointing season, Glennon received praise from the Pro Football Writers Association, who named the young quarterback to its All-Rookie Team.

In addition, Glennon set an NFL rookie record by scoring a touchdown in 11 of his first 13 starts at

quarterback.

Nevertheless, Glennon’s future came into question in 2014 when new head coach Lovie Smith named Josh McCown the team’s starter for the opening week. Upon this announcement, the trade rumors began to fly as many still believed Glennon to be a promising starter in the NFL. However, in an interview with Pro Football Talk, Smith denied any such trade rumors stating that the State alumnus was still the team’s quarterback of the future.

In 2014, Glennon received his next chance to start in Week 4 after McCown went down with a thumb injury in Week 3. Glennon answered the bell against the Pittsburgh Steelers by passing the game winning touchdown to wide receiver Mike Evans with seven seconds remain-

ing. Glennon drove the team 46 yards in 40 seconds to cap the Buccaneers’ first win of the season in a dramatic 27-24 game. Glennon finished with 302 yards and two touchdowns on the game.

Glennon would go on to start the team’s next four games as McCown continued to recover from injury.

Glennon failed to register another win for the Buccaneers in four appearances despite valiant efforts in overtime games against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5 and the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. In Week 9, despite much criticism, Lovie Smith again benched Glennon in favor of Josh McCown for the team’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.

As of now, Mike Glennon’s next opportunity to start in the NFL has

yet to come, but it will most likely come again soon. Before the NFL trade deadline came and went on Nov. 3 last week, Glennon’s name was the topic of several trade rumors throughout the league, with the New York Jets rumored to have been the most interested party.

It’s not surprising that Glennon generated a respectable amount of trade interest this season. Although he has not established himself as being the next elite quarterback in the NFL, Glennon has shown potential to be a viable starter on an NFL team. In addition, many analysts still believe that Glennon never received a fair shake at displaying his abilities to start at the helm in Tampa.
