Q&A Tyler Mills with

Sasha Afanasyeva Staff Writer

The new year started out on a sad note when McDaids Irish Restaurant & Pub on Hillsborough Street announced that it would be closing its doors for good Jan. 1. The Technician reached out to Tyler Mills, the owner of McDaids, for an interview to discuss what it was like to run McDaids, some of the challenges it faced and why it closed.

Editor’s note: This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Q: A:

When did McDaids open, and why did you choose Hillsborough Street?

McDaids opened in September of 2013 by the means of two men from Ireland and one American partner. Hillsborough Street initially appeared to be an

exciting location for anyone interested in opening a business. As you know, Raleigh and the Triangle area are rapidly growing; being a part of that growth is enticing for anyone who plans on opening a business.

Owning a business near a public university with over 20,000 students enrolled, including a large faculty with grounds staff and an abundance of student housing in close proximity gave the owners the confidence needed to invest money on Hillsborough Street. How could they go wrong?

Q:

What caused McDaids to close down?

NC State’s Sustainability Council held a town hall-style recruitment drive Wednesday to kick off the next phase of development for the future of sustainability at NC State. The town hall was open to all members of the NC State community to offer suggestions for ways to build on the successes the council has already achieved and to build connections that will eventually form the working groups that would see these ideas through to completion.

The university has reached the end of the five-year Sustainability Strategic Plan that has guided policy since April 2011 and is building the team that will form the next five-year strategic plan by fall 2016.

Since the last plan went into effect, NC State has reduced its water usage by 50 percent, its energy usage by 28 percent and its greenhouse gas emissions by 13.5 percent, according to Assistant Vice Chancellor for Facilities Operations Jack Colby.

The Sustainability Council was launched in September with a goal of broadening the communication network around sustainable practices for NC State administration through the for-

The Panthers, led by quarterback and MVP-candidate Cam Newton, finished the regular season 15-1, the best record in the NFL. Sunday night’s win marks the second time the Panthers have advanced to the Super Bowl in franchise history, the first since February 2004 when they lost to the New England Patriots 32-29 in Super Bowl XXXVIII. The Panthers will face the AFC Champion Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50 on Feb. 7 in Santa Clara, California.

Concentration camp survivor to speak at International Holocaust Remembrance Day

A:

It is very difficult to pin point a single “cause” that led to our closure. There are many events and decisions that factor into determining a business’s success or lead to its failure.

In the end, for McDaids, we simply made a choice not to continue operating the business, as it would eventually need reinvestment to conduct day-to-day operations. Reinvestment was not part of the owner’s business model. They planned for a 24-month return on their original investment. If we continued to conduct business, we would eventually

The UNC Board of Governors met to discuss the most recent developments affecting the UNC System schools on Thursday in Greensboro just before the snow.

The meeting is still technically not over, with final points to resume on Tuesday at 10 a.m. at UNCChapel Hill.

Talley to be renovated again Designs for the Talley Retail Uplift project will begin Monday to be completed on March 16 and for construction to begin April 18 and conclude June 17.

The project will cost $450,000 and renovate approximately 2,400 square feet of constructed space into a merchandise retail space near the University Bookstore. The cost will be paid using Campus Enterprises receipts.

Included in the project is locker space, a customer service counter, storage racks, workstation space and associated support space.

Protest postponed Citing a new Faculty Forward Network survey of 1,400 UNC faculty which shows that many UNC professors are unhappy about the direction of higher education in North Carolina, protestors planned a demonstration during the Friday session of the meeting, though the meeting was canceled due to adverse weather.

In an email sent out prior to the meeting, the protesters outlined concerns over Spellings’ record as Education Secretary and her work on the board of directors of Apollo Education Group, Inc., parent company of the for-profit University of Phoenix, which they consider to be a predatory institution that

targets low income students and students of color while “failing to deliver a high quality education.”

Spellings has first meeting with Transition Committee Margaret Spellings, UNC System president-elect, held her first meeting with the Presidential Transition Committee responsible for acclimating her to the UNC System.

Zack King, president of the Association of Student Governments, commented that Spellings is “definitely taking the job by storm” and that he expects a lot of changes when she takes over on March 1.

Referring to the claim by the protestors that Spellings’ record as a board member of the University of Phoenix, King said that the subject “doesn’t come up” in the board’s meetings.

Discussion on SARA Board members heard a presen-

tation on SARA, the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements, which will allow for all North Carolina schools, not only those within the UNC System, to have access to distance education courses offered in other SARA member states, as well as those schools to have access to North Carolina courses.

SARA relaxes the regulations on courses so that only an institution’s home state needs to approve the course for it to be taken online by students at another university. If North Carolina were not to join SAR A, the presentation argued that the state’s universities would be at a competitive disadvantage as their markets would continue to be limited by authorization requirements which are expensive and time consuming.

esidents of NC State’s Honors Village, or Honors Quad, get physical in a game of “snoccer,” a clever combination of the words “snow” and “soccer,” Saturday afternoon. Residents said that sometimes it’s hard to find something fun to do during inclement weather — especially inclement weather involving sub-freezing temperatures — so they decided to make their own fun. Though “snoccer” is not a regularly schedule Quad activity, the sport may reappear in the future if snowy or icy conditions persist.

Terror sprees in Paris and Jerusalem were both wrought by radical Islamists—part of a global jihad seeking to conquer the world and kill infidels.

ISIS terror acts in France—and more recently in San Bernardino—are motivated by the same Islamist obsession that inspired the 9/11 bombings in the U.S., as well as deadly knife, gun and car attacks in Jerusalem and throughout Israel—a fanatical conviction that Christians, Jews and moderate Muslims must be driven out of “Muslim lands.”

That is not to say that Hillsborough Street is a terrible place to conduct business, but it was not fruitful for McDaids ownership. Again, there were many events and decisions that determine a business’s success. All the new development on Hillsborough Street is promising, but ownership did not believe that our business model would be profitable in the near future.

There was a long list of challenges for me right off the bat.

I did not join McDaids’ leadership until January of 2014.

The original GM was from Ireland. It was thought that employing a true blood Irish gentleman to operate the business would help create the authentic Irish Pub environment. This Irish gentleman did not have any experience operating a business in the United States. He did not understand our culture, nor did he understand the American tip system. Needless to say, I walked into a situation that one could only describe as business mayhem. On my very first day at the pub, the power was turned off by

Two weeks after I started, I was told by the health department that our floor in the kitchen was “too porous” and that it needed to be repaired

by Feb. 28, or the health department would shut us down. This meant that we needed to remove all of the equipment in the kitchen and install new floors. This included all refrigerators, sinks attached to the walls and the floor in our walk-in cooler needed to be re-done.

Keep in mind that we were already in business, and I already had reservations for the entire month of February.

We had to close our kitchen for two weeks while the new floor was being done. I was able to sell food off a limited menu and keep most of our product by having a refrigerated truck park in our parking spaces out back. Wouldn’t you know it, the over-aggressive tow company that the landlord hired decided to tow our refrigerated truck on a Saturday morning while we were trying to operate out of it. Imagine my surprise when I walked out back to pull out some produce only to find that the refrigerated truck had disappeared. The list goes on and on. Eventually, we did get squared away, and everything was looking up.

Is owning a business on Hillsborough Street different than anywhere else? Are there unique challenges faced specific to Hillsborough Street?

A:

There are many challenges on Hillsborough Street day-

The street closes every other month for a run or hike that neither starts nor finishes on Hillsborough Street. Hillsborough Street is a onesided business street. There are not enough businesses or parking spaces to entice the “would-be” drive-up clientele to come out of their way to visit the street.

Q: A:

Do you plan to open up any restaurants in the future?

I certainly do! I would not open a restaurant in this state. I would describe the free market as being over controlled and highly taxed.

Until state officials change the way they regulate and control hospitality/travel and tourism industry, there is more opportunity for restaurateurs in other states.

Q: A:

What was your favorite memory?

I have ma ny mushy, warm, sentimental memories toward the staff and our regulars. We endured through many challenges that not many teams have to face. I am very proud of how hard we worked and how far we pushed ourselves.

“It is clear that as we enter the fifth year of that plan that we’ve made great progress in all of the areas [we outlined], and we needed to be able to have the structure that would think about what’s next,” Colby said. “We have looked at that and said that one of the areas that we want to be sure that we improve is in reaching the students with our academic and research programs.”

The Student Leadership Working Group will be made up primarily of students from

various groups around campus, according to Meghan Teten, director of the EcoVillage. Teten said the town hall was a good start for the next phase of the plan.

“I think the contributions we got were really helpful and also pointed out some areas where we need to advertise and promote those programs and opportunities that are already available but are obviously not that well known,” Teten said.

Surveys of students and staff conducted by the university have revealed that 69 percent of incoming students and 98 percent of staff consider sustainability an important value, which has further motivated the leadership of the council to reach out and mine these areas for support.

In May 2015, the student-led

board of the NC State Sustainability Fund awarded $117,000 in grant-funding to 10 project proposals relating to furthering sustainability. These proposals included the solar umbrellas outside of Tucker Hall, which were installed last semester, as well as other projects slated to be completed this summer, including the installation of solar-powered waste compactors and an aquaponics system that will provide food for University Dining, according to Carla Davis, communications coordinator for the University Sustainability Office.

“We want sustainability to be the norm at NC State — not a separate function over here for the passionate few — but a part of the culture and everything we do,” Colby said.

Abortion restrictions harm women’s health F

riday marked the 43rd anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Roe v. Wade, which granted legal access to abortions.

Kathleen In the 43 years since the Maxwell decision, anti-abortion Correspondent activists have helped lead state legislatures to enact a wide variety of restrictions on a woman’s right to have an abortion. In the past five years alone, states have adopted hundreds of different restrictions on a woman’s access to abortion.

One of the most recent restrictions has been to enact policies that require abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at local hospitals. Anti-abortion activists claim that having admitting privileges at hospitals will allow doctors providing abortions to treat those women with complications at local hospitals. However, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, emergency room physicians and hospitalbased physicians can already provide services to those with abortion-related complications. The requirement for admitting privileges is also complicated by the fact that some hospitals require doctors with admitting privileges to admit a certain number of patients every year.

Yet, the American Civil Liberties Union

{ Re: Byron Pitts inspires students to dream The recent article “Byron Pitts inspires students to dream” about Byron Pitts’ appearance at NC State was amazing to me, someone who has struggled with stuttering. The fact that Pitts persevered to becoming a national reporter for CBS News and ABC News despite stuttering is an American success story if I’ve ever heard one.

Re: Save money, exploit the poor I understand the theme of the article; I hate Wal-Mart, what it has done to many American small towns and how it treats its employees. I avoid shopping there when I’m not with relatives. However, the conclusion of this article does not follow from the premises given. Yes, Wal-Mart is terrible. But look at this article from Business Insider: It says, “The closings include

states that abortion is safe enough that those doctors providing solely abortions will not be able to meet those requirements.

Already, these requirements have closed multiple abortion clinics. A dozen clinics have been closed in Texas since their admitting privilege regulation took effect.

Oklahoma, Louisiana and Wisconsin will face the same closures of their abortion clinics if their laws take effect. Under the admitting privilege regulation, Mississippi’s only abortion clinic would have closed had a federal court not stepped in and found the law an unconstitutional violation of a woman’s right to get an abortion.

Admitting privilege regulations place an undue burden on doctors to receive the qualifications necessary to perform safe, legal abortions. They require unnecessary relationships to hospitals that can be hard to come by for a variety of reasons. Although anti-abortion activists say that these regulations are to protect women’s safety, the real goal is to shut down abortion clinics and make it harder for a woman to receive their procedure.

These admitting requirements are just one more attempt by anti-abortion activists to further unnecessary restrictions on the right to receive an abortion.

CAMPUS FORUM

}

Pitts is on the list of famous people who stutter on the website of The Stuttering Foundation. Never in my youth in the ‘60s and ‘70s was there ever a positive role model of a person who stutters available to me or any of the stuttering kids in the country. Pitts’ story will no doubt motivate kids who stutter, or young people with any challenge, to fight to overcome the odds.

Pitts had speech therapy and other speech classes in

college. I want to mention that the website of The Stuttering Foundation offers many free resources, including a brochure called “Special Education Law and People Who Stutter” that explains how every child with any speech problem in the U.S. has the right to free speech therapy, from age 3 through high school. It is part of federal legislation from 40 years ago.

Sincerely,

154 locations in the U.S. — 102 of which are the company’s smallest stores, called Wal-Mart Express, which have been in pilot since 2011.” Wal-Mart tried to extend its market share by creating its own versions of CVS or Walgreens and found that did not work, so it is closing them. Further research will also reveal that the rest of the stores being closed have been underperforming. The Business Insider article goes on to say that Wal-Mart is shifting employees to other stores

where it can and is providing the rest with resume and interview training. So you are correct, in a sense. Wal-Mart is trying to maintain its place at the top. But your ad hominem attack on the Walton family and its business lends no credibility to your argument — the business certainly isn’t throwing its employees around like wasted garbage.

Sincerely,

Thomas Luipold

In a weird way, Sanders’s side-eye makes him more relatable, someone equally prone to annoyances with an inability to express his full contempt.

The “side-eye” culture is one in which people would rather scowl than enunciate what exactly makes them scowl, a culture where having a bad attitude is praised and celebrities are celebrated for all the “shade” they throw by just averting their eyes in a certain direction. Side-eye culture is one of inaction, one based on a gut-reaction and a culture based on a whole lot of underhanded comments, petty eye rolls and unresolved conflicts. It is truly a bizarre interpersonal communication phenomenon.

But no — we are not alone. We see sideeye in everything from medieval art to dogs, from stills of old Western film to elderly monks worshipping. We have successfully now transformed a multitude of different time periods and cultures, through the work of clever memes, into a copy and paste version of our own culture. The world is senseless without our modern western perspective.

The side-eye is celebrated by young people — by high school students, college students and young adults. This defiant, yet standoffish approach to showing displeasure represents the often powerlessness perspective this group of people has in the face of potential unemployment and in the face of striking out in a world that still heavily relies on the values of their parents’ and grandparents’ generations and not their own. It is refreshing and exciting to see famous and successful people give the side-eye and show that they

too cannot express what they truly feel. This impotence becomes universal through the clever workings of Photoshop.

Non-aggressive aggression is epidemic, and side-eye is the symptom. A lack of a “go get it” attitude or a proactive approach to communication shows that many feel inept in verbal expression. Instead of saying what needs to be said, we fall back on our sense of politeness and poorly masked contempt.

The side-eye is the least committed display of scorn that exists. We’d rather have handsoff disdain than speak up about problems.

More significantly, when you start a protest, or say something, or take an active stance on defending what you believe to be right, you are “doing too much;” you are making people uncomfortable, and you are disrupting this “side-eye” philosophy of the world where people attempt to preserve all social order and that people cling to out of self-interest.

We value this propensity to react that is so very much degraded from the reactions that are needed. The side-eye contradicts our ability to enact change and it makes aggression so small scale that being offended by it is perceived to be ridiculous.

“Micro-aggressions” is a buzzword that is scoffed at and labeled a symptom of an easily offended and even silly generation. However, this is more often than not the scale of aggression that is commonly experienced.

Absolutely larger scale things still occur and individuals continue to face very serious intolerances, but for the most part, microaggressions are experienced at high levels.

Our excess and materialism grows while our ability to communicate issues becomes very small. Now, we show derision through micro-aggressions, and we communicate through the side-eye.

The latest Democratic presidential debate really showed voter apathy. Viewers, surely in an attempt to be somewhat informed, in the end, cared very little for what was said and much more on the spectacle of an angry glance on camera. A single glance to the side seems to be helping Bernie Sanders’s polling. A single glance to the side seems to be dominating pop culture.

What should NC State’s policy be on inclement weather?

BY NICKI LEARY

“Professors should be made to email out assignments, video lectures or something else of educational use so that way the snow day does not go to waste. Students can do work in their dorms to stay caught up, and professors won’t feel like they’ve lost a day from their syllabus schedules.”

“Ice on bricks is no joke, so administration needs to ensure that the risk of both on-campus residents as well as off-campus students is minimal if they decide not to close the school.”

“Free sleds!”

FOCUS ON FOOD | DINING ON CAMPUS AND OFF

Triangle Restaurant Week kicks off in Raleigh Emily Boyette Correspondent

The Triangle is quickly becoming a culinary destination, and Triangle Restaurant Week provides a perfect opportunity to try some of the more than 50 Raleigh restaurants that participate in the event.

With fixed prices for lunch and dinner plates, Restaurant Week gives diners the chance to try a nicer restaurant in the area at a reasonable price for a night out.

Menu items can also range from a regular item, seasonal, or a new dish they are trying out for the future.

Damon Butler is the CEO of Triangle Blvd which organizes the event. Butler moved from Cleveland, Ohio, to play soccer for NC State while studying industrial engineering. After working in the computer industry for two years, he left for marketing.

“In engineering you listen to people and try to come up with a solution, while in marketing you listen to the customer and deliver a solution,” Butler said.

“It’s not that far off of engineering. It’s solving a problem. Now I do things that I am passionate about.”

Triangle Restaurant Week started in 2008 with 26 restaurants.

The event has grown to include 95 restaurants in the Triangle area.

“We’ve become one of the largest and most successful foodie

events in the Southeast,” Butler said. “We just thought we could bring the area together with food in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area as a whole. Food is one of the best ways to do that.”

Each restaurant involved in the event only charges $15 for lunch and up to $30 for dinner, which includes a three-course meal. Students from the surrounding areas are enjoying both the quality of the food and the great deals.

“On average a person is going to save a minimum of 20 percent when they go,” Butler said. “Restaurants proportion the food to the price level. You also get the full experience the restaurant is trying to offer.”

Triangle Blvd reaches out to restaurants, but now most restaurants actually reach out to them because of how much the company benefits them. It helps restaurants from all over the Triangle attract new customers and also gives them a chance to go off their regular menu options.

“A lot of restaurants involved are local and independently franchised,” Butler said. “They employ a lot of folks in the Triangle, and in result, they are getting more business to their establishments, which in turn, everyone wins.”

The Lonnie Poole Golf Course restaurant, Terrace Dining Room, will be included in Restaurant Week this year. This is a great opportunity for NC State students to get involved, especially because

meal plans can be used at this particular restaurant. Having the restaurant from Lonnie Poole Golf Course on board brings a wider variety of people involved, including college students.

“For Triangle Restaurant Week we are spread out throughout the entire Triangle and surrounding areas,” Butler said. “We like to bring everyone together because downtown Raleigh tends to sep-

arate themselves out. If we can make the area better as a whole rather than compete against each other, then we have achieved our goal as Triangle Blvd.”

Food is something that brings people together naturally. Triangle Restaurant Week happens twice a year, with one event in the last week of January and the other the first week of June.

“Unfortunately and fortunately

the winter one does a little better,” Butler said. “There is a lot of other events in the summer, and folks tend to go out of town more often.

The good thing about it is it’s dead time throughout the country the last week in January for a lot of restaurants.”

1887 Bistro: elevating the campus dining experience Carolyn Thompson Staff Writer

1887 Bistro opened its doors in Talley Student Union in September and has since gained the interest of faculty and students alike as a late-night gathering spot and “fine-dining” option.

Located on the third floor of Talley Student Union, 1887 Bistro presents a change of pace in food with its flatbreads, entrees, desserts and more. Chef Corey Palakovich, the unit chef in 1887 Bistro and One Earth, talks about the beginnings of the bistro and how it functions on a regular day.

“It’s kind of still the same crew we started off with,” Palakovich said. “When we first starte, I think all of the servers were students, and they still are, and as far as back of the house goes we had myself as the chef, and I have one sous chef underneath me.

He kind of runs the late night, and he’s got three cooks and a dishwasher. Daytime is pretty

NICK FAULKNER/TECHNICIAN

much the same. I run the daytime and we’ve got three cooks and a dishwasher as well.”

Students who do work at the bistro have the opportunity to gain service industry experience. Carey Kauffman, a sophomore studying nutrition science, has worked at 1887 Bistro since about three

weeks after it opened.

“I think the bistro is a really cool place for students to have a restaurant-style meal on campus,” Kauffman said.

“Working there gives students the opportunity to know what it’s like to work in the service industry as well. All of the staff at 1887 are really friendly,

and I have made friends with coworkers and customers alike.”

Kauffman said she wishes the bistro was open more hours but understands from a university standpoint why it is not.

1887 Bistro is open on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

and then from 9 p.m. to midnight. The amount of business from faculty and students changes between the daytime operations and late-night operations, with the late nights being geared toward students.

The bistro is the first fullservice restaurant at the university, and a lot of the service staff were fairly new at waiting tables, according to Palakovich.

“It kind of took a while for the front of the house to get trained to get comfortable, and now that they know what to do and what to look for, the service goes a lot better,” Palakovich said.

In 1887 Bistro’s beginning, there were a lot of long tickets and a long time between when the order was taken and when it was rang in, according to Palakovich.

“From the customer’s perception, it seemed like 30 minutes to get their food when in actuality by the time it got rang in, it was taking only 10 minutes for us to make it,” Palakovich said.

Now there is more service staff on the late nights, and the staff is taking strides to better itself, according to Palakovich.

The students who come to Talley Student Union have their own takes on what they think of 1887 Bistro, what it offers students and how it could improve.

“Though the portion sizes tend to fall on the lighter side for the price, it’s very nice to have a place like 1887 Bistro on campus,” said Anirudh Bhateja, a sophomore studying mechanical engineering.

1887 Bistro continues to serve students and faculty with its restaurant-like atmosphere and mix of appetizers, small plates, shareable dishes and bistro cuisine.

“I definitely think it’s a good addition,” said Jesse Morgan, a sophomore studying engineering. “It’s nice to have a more unique dining experience on campus and have somewhere to use my meal swipe for late-night hours.”

Tapingo app attempts to streamline student meals Samuel Griffin Correspondent

With over 30,000 students at NC State, lines for food can get a little crowded. University Dining has several workarounds for this, such as the buffet style dining halls and the grab-and-go system featured at the Atrium, but it doesn’t always keep the lines down. However, last semester Universit y Dining introduced a new possible solution, Tapingo, the mobile food ordering app.

A free app available on both the Apple and Android market, Tapingo allows students at NC State to order food from non-self-serving restaurants on Central and Centennial Campus, as well as from most coffee shops. This allows users to select and pay for their meals while avoiding wait time in lines. When their food is ready, users receive a text message notification. They simply have to walk up to the counter, show proof of the order from the app and walk away with their meal.

“Our goal is to help universities enhance campus dining services by eliminating long, unnecessary lines and providing the convenience of delivery,” said Leanne Reis, a public relations manager for Tapingo. “Users can browse menus, order and pay, then schedule pickup or have their order delivered.”

At the moment, Tapingo only operates in or around college campuses and is used by over 125 colleges across the country.

“Having grown up with mobile technology, students are familiar and comfortable with mobile and

BEN SALAMA/TECHNICIAN

Tapingo is an online ordering and delivery service for restaurants in and around college campuses. Students are able to use dining dollars and meal credits as a method of payment straight through the application. Tapingo lets students order from popular restaurants in the area that don’t deliver: Tuffy’s Diner, Cook Out and Starbucks are just a few of the restaurants that students can choose to order from on the app. The service launched Nov. 9 at NC State.

have come to expect the same level of convenience and customization that technology affords them in most other aspects of their daily lives,” Reis said. “Not only do today’s students live busy lives, they have also been the driving force behind the shift toward mobile technology.”

Reis said that once a school is selected to be a Tapingo school, the company begins working with the college’s information technology department to install the hardware necessary for the app to work. Following that, student ID cards must be programmed into the system, and then finally, staff

and managers are trained to use the system by Tapingo employees.

Currently, students can pay for their meals using dining dollars, meal credits, debit or credit cards, or a combination of these.

“It took approx i mately si x months,” said Randy Lait, the senior director for hospitality services at NC State. “We worked with Tapingo to be the first university in the country to connect their system to a campus meal plan system that a llows mea l equivalency at campus retail operations. This was the most complicated part of the implementation.”

Lait said Tapingo at NC State has

had some minor problems since it started, such as daily special menu items showing up for purchase on the app at all times, but these and other problems have been mostly resolved.

“Like any new system, getting both customers and staff to learn how to use the system properly takes some time, and there have been minor system tweaks and operational adjustments required,” Lait said. “There have been a few bumps in the road making sure that all staff know how to deal with various issues that come up with Tapingo orders, but with every instance we learn and correct

and adjust our operations accordingly.”

NC State first started considering Tapingo three years ago but did not implement the service at the time due to being too busy with renovations. The university didn’t have any concrete plans for Tapingo until a team from NC State visited Georgia Southern University and got to test out the app for itself.

NC State had more app downloads in a single day than any other college and has exceeded expectations in terms of utilization. In addition to allowing users to order food, Tapingo also offers food delivery services from nearby restaurants like Chipotle, Noodles & Company and Cook Out. “Students looking to have food delivered place the order through the Tapingo app, which then processes the order and payment. The order then f lows through to the Tapingo Courier app — a dedicated app that we built to facilitate dispatch and communication,” Reis said. “The Tapingo Courier app connects with a network of Tapingo Couriers who are then able to efficiently see what orders are outstanding, pick up the order, and deliver it straight to the user.”

Tapingo is currently working with NC State Dining to make Tapingo Deliver y compat ible with on-campus venues, beginning with The Oval and Talley Student Union restaurants.

“Imagine ordering a meal from your phone using your meal plan, and having it delivered to where you are studying,” Lait said.

three-point range.

Sophomore Grayson Allen led the way for Duke in the f irst half, scoring 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting. Freshman phenomenon Brandon Ingram tacked on another 10 points for the Blue Devils.

“He’s a good player,” Cody Martin said when asked about Duke’s Ingram. “He’s long, can shoot threes, get to the rack, got great vision and can pass the ball. He can just do it all, and that’s what makes him special.”

Unfortunately for the Pack,

the streaky three-point shooting was just that as the second half brought major shooting woes for the Pack.

Duke’s zone defense was suffocating in the second half and seldom let the Pack get the ball down low. Junior Lennard Freeman wound up getting most of the touches in the paint for the Pack, but he opted to pass it back out rather than post up and attack the basket.

“They just played harder than we did in the second half,” Cody Martin said. “I’m not going to say we didn’t play hard, but it seemed at the second half at the beginning [Duke] wanted it more.”

Despite the troubled shooting, the Pack was able to hang around in the second half, remaining within striking distance until the final minute. State’s defensive pressure was nowhere near what it was in the first half either.

“Defensively we just kind of came out slow,” Abu said. “They came out hot. I, myself, picked up two quick fouls, so that put momentum in their favor.”

Abu’s foul trouble led the Pack to lose its frontcourt inf luence, and that didn’t bode well for its chances.

Allen and Ingram continued to be the go-to scorers for Duke in the second half. The two un-

Barber led the Wolfpack with 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting. Cody and Caleb Martin, freshman Maverick Rowan, Abu and Barber all scored in double figures for the Pack.

Duke’s Allen and Ingram had 28 and 25 points respectively and shot a combined 21 of 33 from the field.

The Wolfpack was looking to make a move Saturday to try and follow up its most complete game of the season Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Panthers. The only problem was Duke’s t a lented u ndercla ssmen had something else in mind.

Af ter a terrif ic f irst-half shooting performance, the Wolfpack dropped its sixth ACC game of the season Saturday afternoon to the No. 20 Duke Blue Devils 88-78 at PNC Arena.

The recent play of the Wolfpack (11-9, 1-6 ACC) gave hope that maybe the team was turning a corner af ter a dreadful start to conference play. The Blue Dev i ls (15-5, 4-3 ACC) were look ing to avoid a four-game losing streak after dropping their last two home games. Needless to say, Duke had its way Saturday fueled by a dominant second-half performance en route to a victory.

The Blue Devils opened up in a 2-3 zone defense with the hope of at least trying to contain junior An-

thony “Cat” Barber. Duke also used a full-court press to try and slow down the pace of the game.

Going into the game, the obvious advantage for State came down low on the post.

Aside from senior Marshall Plu m lee, t he Blue Devils didn’t have anyone big enough to match the size of the Pack’s front court.

Duke was doing everything right defensively in the first half, but the problem was when it forced the Pack to take that tough shot at the end of the shot clock, State was making it. Eventually the Pack’s three-point shooting caught f ire and couldn’t be stopped.

The Wolfpack made six straight three-pointers in the first half, and considering the Pack ’s troubled three-point shooting this season, it was surprising, to say the least.

“They were shooting it conf idently,” sophomore Abdu l-Ma l i k Abu sa id.

“They weren’t really hesitating, and they were falling and it got us on a roll.”

Barber had a terrific first half for the Pack. Shooting six for nine and scoring 14 points, Barber’s performance propelled the Pack to a 43-36 halftime lead over

COMMENTARY

Rams’ move to Los Angeles leaves St. Louis in bad situation When I was 7 years old, I fell in love with the game of football. The St. Louis Rams, my “hometown” team, were having one of the greatest seasons in NFL history — one that led them straight to a Super Bowl XXXIV win over the Tennessee Titans.

Just recently, a bit of my childhood died because of Joseph the announcement that my Ochoa beloved Rams were going Staff Writer to relocate back to the West Coast and would be the Los Angeles Rams from this point on.

Much like the breakup of a marriage gone utterly sour, the breakup between the city and Rams’ owner and villain Stan Kroenke was a very long and drawn-out process. The rumors of relocation began several years ago.

In August of 2010, Kroenke became the outright owner of the Rams after the NFL approved his $750 million purchase of the team from the family of late-Rams owner Georgia Frontiere. At the time of the purchase, the Rams had been abysmal, finishing at or near the bottom of the league in three straight seasons.

Part of the reason why there was speculation of relocation was the Missouri native’s ties to other sports teams west of the Mississippi River. Kroenke also had ownership stakes in the Colorado Avalanche and the Denver Nuggets.

When he bought the team, Kroenke had been on-record with multiple outlets promising to keep the Rams in St. Louis. Kroenke was also part of Frontiere’s group of investors who helped bring the Rams to St. Louis from LA in the mid-‘90s.

Since then, Kroenke has been part of the perpetual cycle of ineptitude and mediocrity that has surrounded the Rams. His management of the team came into question when he hired former Titans’ head coach Jeff Fisher, a man with a career head coaching record below .500 and one Super Bowl appearance in 2000 when his Titans lost to, you guessed it, the Rams.

Following the Rams’ submission of a bid to move to LA, the documents of the proposal from Kroenke were released to the public. In the documents, Kroenke stated that the city of St. Louis was a “two-sport town” and any proposal for a new stadium would put any football team in “financial ruin.”

In short, the man who swore he would keep

the Rams in St. Louis turned his back on a city that genuinely cared about the franchise.

It’s no mystery that the NFL has longed to be back in LA since the Raiders and the Rams

“While it may seem like everybody wins in this move to L.A., the real losers are the fans left behind in St. Louis.” left the area in the 1990s. Yet, with a market that is extremely college football heavy with the University of Southern California and the University of California-Los Angeles in the area, as well as a huge basketball market with the Lakers and now the Clippers, the move seems a bit puzzling, especially for those in St. Louis.

The residents of the St. Louis area must pay taxes on a building that no longer houses an NFL franchise. The city now must continue to pay on a loan on the Edward Jones Dome, the Rams’ former home in St. Louis, until 2021.

When the Rams played, the $4.2 million in revenue generated from games was used to offset $6-million-per-year price tag that came with the upkeep and renovations of the stadium, according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch. The remaining money would probably be recouped from taxes and other avenues.

In addition to the loss of revenue for St. Louis, the city will now have to rely heavily on the revenue generated from the other two franchises in the city, the St. Louis Blues and the St. Louis Cardinals.

Why move to a city that already generates tons of revenue from a location that has an embarrassment of riches in terms of sports franchises, when the city that they just left is the one that could benefit the most from the revenue generated from the team’s presence?

While it may seem like everybody wins in this move to LA, the real losers are the fans left behind in St. Louis. They are saddled with a stadium that has millions left on its refinanced bonds and no football team to support and help generate with revenue.

So as I said before, Kroenke: half-man, halfvillain. At least you’ll have a nice view from your new stadium in Inglewood, California, to distract you from mediocre football.

Son of Randy Moss commits to play football for Wolfpack Four-star tight end Thaddeus Moss w ill join the NC State footba l l tea m in 2016, he announced Saturday at t he Du keNC State basketball game.

Daniel Moss made Lacy the decision Sports Editor to join t he Wolfpack after fielding offers from Te x a s A& M, A l a ba m a , Arizona State and UCLA, as well as offers from about half of the ACC schools, including in-state riva ls Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill and Wake Forest.

“It just felt right,” Moss told ESPN. “It’s close to home, it felt right and they

kept it real with me from day one. NC State was the first team to offer, and loyalty was rewarded.”

Moss is the son of NFL great and soon-to-be Hall of Famer Randy Moss, who spent 14 seasons in t he NFL. Randy Moss caught 982 passes (14th all-time) for 15,292 yards (third alltime) and 156 touchdowns (second all-time) over his 14-year career w it h t he Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers.

He set the record for most receiving touchdowns in a single season in 2007 with 23, as well as the rookie touchdown reception record with 17 in 1998.

Moss is currently ranked as the top recruit of NC State’s 2016 recruiting class, with ESPN giving him a four-star rank ing and a grade of 80. He ranks just above three-star recruits

and quarterback Dylan Parham, safety Isaiah Stallings and defensive tackle Shug Frazier, who each earned a grade of 79. He is one of two tight ends who have committed to the Pack for the 2016 season, with three-star Dylan Autenrieth being the other.

Moss joins a talented tight end group t hat features Jaylen Samuels, Cole Cook and Pharoah McKever, but just lost Benson Browne to graduation and David J. Grinnage to the NFL Draft.

The amount of playing time he gets will likely revolve around how well he adjusts to the higher level of competition, as well as how often the team decides to line up the juggernaut Samuels at tight end and the progres-

sion of Cook and McKever, the latter of whomw just switched positions for the second time in three years.

Last year’s top recruit, running back Johnny Frasier, was redshirted for his rookie season due to the depth at the position at the start of the year. However, the second and third recruits Nyheim Hines and Darian Roseboro each saw their fair share of playing time. Moss could find himself in either position, as the depth at tight end is currently adequate, but he could be too talented a player to pass up playing time — only time will tell.

Look for the Pack to lock up more recruits in the coming days, as National Signing Day is set for Feb. 3.
