University Dining launches ordering app

NC State announced a new app, Tapingo, Tuesday that allows students to order food from oncampus locations beforehand so it is ready for pickup. The app gives an estimated time of arrival.

Tapingo is now available for use at Common Grounds Cafe, Hill of Beans, Jason’s Deli, Los Lobos, One Earth, On the Oval, Port City Java, Red Sky, Starbucks, Tuffy’s Diner and McKimmon Center Corner Cafe. Users can register their Wolfpack One Cards or debit/ credit cards online.

City Council will vote next week on a program that could allow food trucks to park curbside in certain areas downtown. That zone would be bordered by Peace Street to the north, Bloodworth Street to the east, Western Boulevard to the south and St. Mary’s Street to the west. It would allow food trucks to park from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. all week. On First Fridays, the hours would be extended to 8 p.m.

However, food trucks would still have to be parked more than 100 feet away from restaurants.

UNC-CH increases security after attempted abduction

In response to an attempted kidnapping of a female student last week, UNC-Chapel Hill is looking to increase foot patrol officers in downtown business districts Thursday through Saturday nights. The female student was approached by an armed man late Friday.

She escaped uninjured and bystanders intervened. University, community and student leaders are working to install security cameras, increase lighting, provide nighttime transportation and use smartphone apps to enhance awareness and communication.

Police use Yik Yak posts to find user data, make arrest

Police were able to arrest a student at Missouri University of Science and Technology for threatening to shoot black students and faculty Wednesday. The arrest followed within hours of the original post.

Yik Yak can disclose each user’s Internet protocol address, GPS coordinates, details about his or her phone/tablet and date and time of the post. Police must provide a subpoena, court order or search warrant to obtain user information, but in an emergency, Yik Yak may provide details without them.

Tyrique Harris, a sophomore studying microbiology, and Steven Furman, a sophomore studying biological sciences, participate in the Veteran’s Day Vigil for the first time at the Bell Tower on Tuesday. As members of NC State’s ROTC Air Force program, they stood post at the candle vigil for one hour in remembrance for those who have passed and those who are still fighting.

ROTC runs to celebrate 2015 Veterans Day Megan Shope Correspondent

NC State’s ROTC units honored those who have served in the military early Wednesday morning with a run down Hillsborough Street and up Cates Avenue, ending at the Bell Tower.

About 400 people, including those from ROTC units, the NC State baseball team and civilians ran in tribute to the men and women who served and are serving the United States.

The run began at 6 a.m., but Jasmin Alsaied, a junior studying nuclear engineering and a joint officer in Navy ROTC, said she didn’t mind.

“We were always told to remember that when we have to study late at night or wake up early, it’s worth it because it’s a sacrifice,” Alsaied said.

The run and the speeches that followed were to remember the

importance of Veterans Day. “I think we all take for granted our freedom, and freedom is a thing that should never be taken for granted because it can be taken from you,” said Elliott Avent, head baseball coach at NC State. “[Veterans Day] gives us a day to thank the brave men and women of our country who go out there every day, and knowing their life can be put on the line that day to make us free. I think we don’t get to say thank you enough. [Veterans Day] was the day to come and wave our flags and thank all the brave men and women for all they do for our country.”

Nov. 11, 1918, the Armistice was signed to end World War I right outside of Compiegne, France.

Compiegne is one of Raleigh’s Sister Cities, and Gretchen Chapman, chair of Compiegne Committee for Raleigh Sister Cities, awarded NC State’s ROTC with a wreath that was laid at the foot of

the Bell Tower, which memorializes 35 NC State alumni who were killed in World War I. “There is a natural link between the celebration and Compiegne — it just makes sense,” Chapman said.

The baseball team has been a part of the Veterans Day 5K for 10 years, according to Avent.

“When our young men and women can understand deeper meanings of why such things are celebrated, they have greater appreciation for how we can walk around free every day and go to college and play ball,” Avent said.

Devrim Goktan, a sophomore studying civil engineering and a member of Air Force ROTC, said she was pleased with the way the race turned out.

“The run was a lot of fun,” Goktan said. “Every unit was represented, and we also had a lot of civilians, which was really nice.”

A female student reported a sexual assault incident in Watauga Hall to University Police Tuesday. The student said the assault occurred in the early morning hours by a male student known to her.

In sexual assault cases, University Police gets in contact with the suspect and possible witnesses to seek information that might verify what happened as soon as possible.

“Hopefully the suspect will confess, or they might present a different version of the crime,” Chief of Police Jack Moorman said.

The key in sexual assault cases is to make an arrest, according to Moorman. For a criminal investigation to be conducted, there must be enough evidence to take it to court.

“You’ve got to prove it with a reason beyond reasonable doubt,” Moorman said.

“You have to have evidence that indicates that it is fairly likely that the crime was committed.”

However, if there is not sufficient evidence for the sexual assault report to make it to court, the case ends up at Student Conduct, where the staff makes the decision about how to penalize the student.

University Police consults with the North Carolina’s District Attorney’s office to decide whether or not the report should go to court or to Student Conduct.

If the case ends up in court, the suspect’s information can be made public. However, if Student Conduct handles the report, the suspect’s identity must remain private because of Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act regulations.

Moorman said the decision of whether or not to take the case to court is usually decided within a week.

University Police urges students to report suspicious activity or crimes by calling 911 or 919-515-3000. Survivors of sexual assault can find coping resources at campuspolice.ehps.ncsu.edu/victimresources.

‘It’s On Us’ promotes sexual assault awareness Megan Shope Correspondent

NC State is participating in national “It’s On Us” week of action this week with the goal of speaking openly about sexual assault in order to make students more aware of how it impacts NC State’s campus.

“The week of action is like a really charged week and they want all of the schools within the nation to come together and focus on the issue. It’s important to us to support the week of action and highlight the ‘It’s On Us’ campaign because it’s something that really aligns with our mission,” said Sara Forcella, rape prevention education coordinator for the Women’s Center.

“There has been a shift in our culture and a lot of survivors have recently come out and these students have been highlighting the issues that do happen on college campuses.”

President Barack Obama started the “It’s On Us” campaign last year to raise awareness and prevent sexual violence on college campuses. Student Government, the Women’s Center, University Police and the Counseling Center all held events throughout the week.

The Women’s Center held two interactive workshops this week. On Tuesday, it showed “Escalation,” a movie about Yeardley Love—a student and lacrosse player at University of Virginia who was murdered by her boyfriend. Another workshop is be-

ing held tonight at 6 p.m. The event tonight, Sexual Violence 101, will discuss what constitutes sexual assault as well as the resources available on campus

The Art of Time Ensemble will perform the Beatles’ album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart Band” during its tour on Nov. 14 at Stewart Theatre.

One of the biggest pop bands on the planet released an iconic album on June 1, 1967, introducing the world to songs such as “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” “A Day in the Life” and “With a Little Help from My Friends.” Nearly 50 years later, the Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album is getting new life in a tour that’s part of the The Art of Time Ensemble, a nonprofit organization hailing from Toronto.

Led by renowned concert pianist Andrew Burashko, Art of Time Ensemble is currently on its first tour of the United States. Ste-

ven Page, who is the founder and former lead of Barenaked Ladies, Glen Phillips, known as the front man for Toad the Wet Sprocket, Andy Maize of Skydiggers and Craig Northey of The Odds are all joining Burashko and Art of Time Ensemble’s world-class orchestra.

“I’ve been a crazy Beatles nut ever since I was a kid, and with this project it is interesting to find the fine line between trying to do something new and inventive and at the same time stay absolutely true to the spirit of the music,” Burashko said.

and how survivors might react after being sexually assaulted. Forcella explained that these workshops are meant to address sexual assault in a more interactive way.

“I hope that [this week] will make people more conscious of sexual assault on our campus and that there are students that have undergone it and it is important to us as a university to provide these resources that these victims need,” said Student Body Vice President Nate Bridgers.

Both Forcella and Bridgers highlighted the fact that it is a hard topic to talk about, but more and more students need to get involved and speak about sexual violence. This is one reason why they take part in and encourage the “It’s On Us” movement.

“Within the last five or six years, I’ve seen it catch wind and take off.

People are talking about it more,” Forcella said. “There has been a shift in our culture and a lot of survivors have recently come out and these students have been highlighting the issues that do happen on college campuses,” Forcella said.

Bridgers explained that the conversations about sexual assault have grown since he first came to NC State.

“When I came in as a first-year, sexual assault wasn’t something that was talked about,” Bridgers said. “Everyone knew it was wrong and no one wanted it to happen, but it was one of those situations that people kind of avoid because it made them uncomfortable.”

Bridgers believes “It’s Un Us” is more than just a slogan; it is a national movement that aims to make college campuses safer environments.

“It’s a cultural movement that aims to fundamentally shift the way students think and talk about sexual assault, and there is really no voice

that is more powerful than the student voice,” Bridgers said.

Forcella agreed that the momentum lies with the students.

“The cool thing is that it is not from professors and administration as much, it’s coming from students that are invested, who want to end campus sexual violence and be supportive of survivors,” Forcella said.

Even if action is small, words spread. Student Government held a pledge drive Tuesday in Talley Student Union. By taking the pledge, students committed to help raise awareness for sexual assault.

Bridgers said promoting awareness should be continued in order to make NC State’s campus a safer environment.

“I think that if we keep on pushing this and get students talking about it, it can really help move the environment into a sexual-assault-free environment that we would like to see here on campus,” Bridgers said.

Rethinking welfare: the benefit of benefits L

ast month, Gov. Pat McCrory reversed eight years of state policy regarding Simplified Nutrition Assistance Program Connor benefits, also known Bolinder as food stamps.

Correspondent Able-bodied, childless adults under age 50 will soon be required to work or train for work at least 20 hours a week in order to continue receiving assistance. This change in policy came as an attachment to the infamous HB 318 (as if the original content of HB 318 wasn’t bad enough) and it will go into effect Jan. 1 in the 23 most urban counties, including Wake.

This will potentially affect hundreds of thousands of the state’s 1.6 million SNAP recipients. The other 77 North Carolina counties will see this law go into effect July 1.

All of these SNAP recipients are just the latest casualties in our state legislature’s exhaustive war on the working poor. Other casualties include working women who make only about 82 cents on a man’s dollar in the same job. This is thanks to the defeat of the Paycheck Fairness Act, which was

blocked by then-Speaker Thom Tillis. Immigrants will also now have a much harder time legally finding work under HB 318 as well as those too poor to afford insurance and are covered under the Medicaid system, which was recently privatized, and those struggling with mental health issues since $110 million was slashed from mental healthcare agencies last September. Let’s not forget the state’s 1 million minimum wage workers, whose hourly pay has stagnated for six years; and those who fall on hard times and must go on Unemployment Insurance, since the limit for this is a terribly short 12 weeks, the shortest in the country.

Another policy from our General Assembly worth honorable mention for its devastating effect on middle and lower class workers is the 5.75 percent flat income tax, which heavily favors the wealthy. This rate is a substantial fee for those living paycheck to paycheck, yet 5.75 percent is nearly nothing when you’re earning millions; what’s more, the wealthy in general tend to have diversified income, usu-

ally in the form of capital gains and investments, which are taxed at a much lower effective rate.

Supporters of cuts to programs like SNAP, UI and Medicaid for the unemployed believe that it will inspire them to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and go get a job, since they were clearly just lazily sitting around, raking in that fat $194-per-month SNAP check or, for the average North Carolinian, a mere $36 per month. This is a myth.

Not only do these cuts have no impact on job growth according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, but 82 percent of households receiving SNAP were employed the previous or following year; 96 percent who were recently unemployed and went on SNAP began working after receiving benefits.

The new policy, however, will cut off benefits for three years for anyone spending three months unemployed while on SNAP; if someone is lucky enough to find a low-paying job after those three months, they will not be able to have SNAP supplementing their income. The reality is not that a

bunch of lazy people are abusing the system, but that real, hardworking people simply cannot find jobs, especially in highly rural parts of our state where jobs simply do not exist.

Cutting SNAP and UI doesn’t just hurt those receiving the benefits either.

To cut these programs is actually very much anti-business; since cutting off unemployed recipients does not just make jobs, people go from having some income to having little or no income. They are essentially unable to spend money at local businesses, causing the economy of their community to stagnate or even shrink, as less prosperous businesses have to lay off workers, unemployment increases and a downward cycle is created.

Economist Mark Zandi conducted studies that show SNAP and UI provide the greatest benefit of any economic stimulus package. According to Zandi, every dollar spent on SNAP will generate $1.73 in economic activity; $1.64 for every dollar spent on extending UI benefits. USDA research agrees with this finding, showing that every $5 spent on SNAP generates

nearly twice that in economic activity.

There are facts and there are myths.

The facts are clear: Cutting benefits does not put people to work. Rather, cutting benefits hurts businesses, limits economic growth and damages hardworking people who have been given the short end of the stick and been subject to harmful, selfish cuts based on myths and stereotypes for far too long.

Our legislators should not be making policy based on myths, like the stereotype of a welfare recipient who is lazy and entitled, refusing to work, collecting their check and living it up on “my hard-earned tax dollars.”

The General Assembly should put away these stereotypes, stop blaming the poor for their misfortune and acknowledge the benefit of benefits programs. And this is all to say nothing of the moral responsibility we, the privileged, have to take care of the less fortunate, because frankly, it seems a majority of our state legislature abandoned this moral responsibility long ago.

Carson is out of touch with education I

n his 1990 autobiography “Gifted Hands,” presidential hopeful Ben Carson stated he was introduced “to General Westmoreland, and I had dinner with him and the Congressional Medal winners.

Later, I was offered a full scholarship to West Point.”

Katherine Ma ny perceive t he Waller statement to be untrue Staff Columnist while many others defend it. This is all over the news at this point — one side of the political spectrum is claiming media bias and the other calling out the hounds on Carson.

Regardless, the inconsistencies in the story make many doubt whether or not he even met Westmoreland. Essentially, Carson stated that he was suggested to apply to West Point, and he conf lated it in his autobiography.

There is one thing I find despicable within this story and that is that Carson’s claims cheapen the experience of struggling college students in the United States. His “full ride” narrative almost makes failure inexcusable for the masses as he shows how he overcame adversity and was offered free college. The further he gets from his impoverished past, the more out of touch with reality Carson seems to become. This is the man who, Tuesday night, in a country with the price of college tuition increasing at disproportionate rates, claimed that wages in the U.S. were too high.

According to a 2011 CBS report, only about 0.3 percent of American students receive full ride scholarships per year — that’s fewer than 20,000 students. These scholarships go primarily to students who exhibit financial need and a few are reserved for exceptional students or athletes. Full scholarships just aren’t that likely and they aren’t that common outside of military academies*.

In Tuesday night’s fourth Republican debate, Carson twisted his dishonesty, as he historically has done, as intentional media fabrications. The man of too many inconsistencies to count is one to say “if you have a brain, you can think your way out of everything,” yet blames the media for everything that has gone negatively during his campaign, claiming that Hillary Clinton is treated better.

Carson is especially twisted when it comes to his education politics and is hardly a person for whom those invested in education should vote. On numerous occasions he has claimed that education in the U.S. is just a huge propaganda system — while at the same time claiming that “education worked for him.” He puts down public education, and when asked what he will do as president, he has said:

“I actually have something I would use the Department of Education to do. It would be to monitor our institutions of higher education for extreme political bias and deny federal funding if it exists.”

Wait, what? This is the same man who said: “I know you’re not supposed to say ‘Nazi Germany,’ but I don’t care about political correctness. You know, you had a government using its tools to intimidate the population. We now live in a society where people are afraid to say what they actually believe.”

Are Carson’s intentions to limit political beliefs in universities not intimidating? Is his God complex which decades of brain surgery have nurtured nothing to be alarmed about? Are his little white lies and misleading comments about mundane things not a red f lag?

Carson’s logic regarding education and his potential responsibilities in this area is twisted and contradictory.

He rallies against political correctness, yet wants to filter out political bias that he doesn’t agree with from schools. He thinks wages are too high, but believes that everyone should be educated — not giving much thought to how lower wages will help pay for the rising cost of tuition. Monitoring universities and cutting their funding based on political beliefs is not only horribly against first amendment rights but also extremely detrimental to poor students who rely on federally funded Pell Grants and financial aid. Carson’s alma mater, Yale, and his former employer, Johns Hopkins, rely heavily on federal research grants.

According to Carson, we are all part of a huge propaganda system — thus, our educations are discredited. Carson might be a highly educated neurosurgeon who attended fantastic schools and got ahead against all odds — but he is not a champion of education, especially the education of the poor and middle classes in the U.S. As a college student, Carson’s recent media debacle about his “West Point scholarship” is troubling. Troubling, because it is all too easy for him to insinuate that if you have bills or debt, you don’t have a brain because you, or any struggling college student, could have joined the military, but you didn’t. You could have worked harder to earn either a rare athletic or academic scholarship, but you didn’t. Carson makes criticism the media’s fault and expensive higher education our burden. *Editor’s Note: The cost for attending a government military academy (e.g. West Point) is technically free for students. However, there is a mandatory service commitment following graduation.

Broaden Your Horizons

Kelley Wheeler, junior studying film studies

Dating how you want, because it’s 2015 T

he line between preference and racism is thin and often very vague. We subconsciously developed a list of dating preferences in our minds. Our preferences range from physical Chauncey to social attributes. We tend to be Bowden attracted to individuals of certain Correspondent heights, skin tones, socioeconomic backgrounds, intelligence levels, etc. Many of our preferences can be traced back to our environment, values and upbringing. Many of us are comfortable admitting some of their preferences, yet it remains a fact that preferences based on race are often very touchy subjects.

Dating sites based on preferences are in abundance. Christian People Meet, FarmersOnly.com and CougarLife are real websites whose entire existence are grounded in preferences. There isn’t an uproar about Black People Meet, and there is a popular hashtag on Instagram called “swirling” that encourages interracial relationships between blacks and whites.

Yet, numerous columns have been written stating that racial preferences are racist. Emma Tessler, a professional matchmaker, wrote an article entitled “Yes, Your Dating Preferences Are Probably Racist.”

Tessler stated that 90 percent of her clients report having racial preferences and that 89.9 percent of these preferences are for white people. Tessler said this fact is “indicative of an entrenched and deeply troubling societal prejudice that we have been unable to overcome throughout the course of human history.” She went on to say that this is a problem because our preferences are shaped by society, and that seems to imply that dating white is socially acceptable.

While it is certainly true that dating is not void of white privilege, racial dating preferences are that bad. This may be my “unpopular black opinion,” but I feel that racial dating preferences are often handled in an unfair manner.

Let’s be completely real here; it is not uncommon for black women to feel slighted by black men who date white women. As a black woman, I can attest

to this, and I am by no means saying that this is the case for all black women, or even myself. Many black women with younger or older brothers may have heard this statement spoken by family members to their siblings at some point in their lives: “You better not bring home a white girl.”

I myself have heard this phrase before, thankfully never from my own parents. But I will admit that up until adulthood, I had never cringed at this statement. Yet, if I heard white parents tell their children that they could not date a black person, or other minority, I would be the first to protest it.

Here’s the thing: What you like is what you like.

It is common to be attracted to those who look like you. OkCupid.com produced statistics that illustrate dating preferences among men and women of three different ethnicities (Asian, black, Latino and white), and it is a common trend that, generally, both men and women tend to favor individuals of their race.

However, it is important to assess why we possess certain dating preferences. For example, if I tend to be attracted to black men, it is worth noting why this is the case? Is it because I view other races as inferior?

Do I associate black men with a certain quality that is impossible for other races to possess?

It is dangerous to say that you are only attracted to a particular group, because no group is homogenous. The statement, “All Asian men...” is a fallacy, so to possess a belief about all Asian men is illogical and prejudice. By definition, a fallacy is “a mistaken belief, especially one based on unsound argument”.

No, I am not encouraging you to dump your white boyfriend and date a black guy to promote diversity.

Relationships are a sensitive topic, and race is arguably an even more delicate topic. Yet, in order to address any social biases or prejudices that we possess, we must first identify them. Preferences in general often limit us and prevent us from making meaningful and successful friendships and relationships.

At the least, we will expand our horizons and find success in places we never thought were possible.

The singers featured in the concert are all well-known in Canada, and like the organization itself, are based in Toronto. In Canada, the government has always been supporting the arts and providing funding, but in the last 40 years, that support has been waning, according to Burashko. Over time, philanthropy and nonprofits have entered the picture, such as Art of Time Ensemble.

“We are a nonprofit arts organization; all of the money goes to producing the shows and to the artists,” Burashko said. “The reason I chose the name Art of Time is because it works on a bunch of levels. On one level, music is the art; it’s temporal—it happens over time—and it really is kind of the reorganization of time. Also, to me, the most distinguishing characteristic of a musician is their sense of time.”

Art of Time Ensemble began in

Features 1998 with its first show as a result of Burashko feeling disheartened by classical music audiences being predominantly older people. Because of his experience as a pianist, Burashko said he felt that classical music was something everyone can enjoy.

“It’s some of the most exciting music there is,” Burashko said.

“Anyone can be blown away by it.”

Inspired by his love of all kinds of music, theater and dance, Burashko said he formed Art of Time Ensemble as a way to attract new audiences by exploring how music intersects with other art, allowing the nonprofit to evolve in different directions. Half of the band is trained in classical music, and the other half is pop musicians, creating an interesting blend of styles for their Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band tour.

“There’s nothing really classical about the show; it’s still pop music, not like elevator music,” Burashko said. “The original spirit is very much still there.”

has achieved international recognition for his talent, he has focused more of his time on the ensemble, as it allows him to do more than just play classical piano. He said he finds joy in performing this show, singing this music and working with other artists to perform the “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album.

Amanda Sweet, founder and president of Bucklesweet Media and publicist for the tour, said the tour runs through Nov. 22. The band will perform at NC State’s Stewart Theatre as part of NC State LIVE Saturday at 8 p.m.

“The core group, the Art of Time Ensemble, not the front-man singers, are always performing new shows,” Sweet said. “This is their first time bringing one of their shows to the U.S. though.”

Wolfpack smells upset at Florida State David Kehrli Staff Writer

The NC State football team seeks its first win against a ranked opponent under thirdyear head coach Dave Doeren Saturday against the No. 16 Florida State Seminoles in Tallahassee, Florida.

The Wolfpack (6-3, 2-3 ACC), fresh off a dominant victory over Boston College, can expect a hard-fought battle with a motivated and focused Seminole (7-2, 5-2 ACC) squad, looking to get back on track following a disappointing loss to No.1 Clemson.

“We know we got our hands full this week,” Doeren said.

“We got to play our best football and look forward to the opportunity to go down there and try to do it.”

It’s no secret the Seminoles’ offense goes as sophomore running back and Heisman candidate Dalvin Cook goes. The explosive athlete — named a Midseason All-American by ESPN, Sports Illustrated and CBS Sports — ranks second nationally in yards per rushing attempt with 8.3 and has 12 rushing touchdowns, despite missing one game and rushing only two times in another.

“He’s a great player,” Doeren said. “I mean, he’s fast. He’s hard to tackle. He’s been hard to tackle since he’s been in high school. He’s a very, very good running back. He’s not going

to let you get him down easy.”

The Wolfpack won’t be able to stop a player as talented as Cook, but to pull off an upset, it will have to at least slow him down and prevent him from breaking off big runs. NC State will load the box with extra players in an attempt to limit Cook’s effectiveness and force the Seminoles to win by making plays through the air.

The problem with moving additional players closer to the line of scrimmage to focus on stopping the run is that it forces a Pack secondary that has struggled this season to play a lot of man coverage without the safety net of extra help if someone gets beat.

It will be up to Florida State redshirt junior quarterback Sean Maguire to take advantage of the one-on-one matchups on the outside. Maguire is certainly a capable passer, although he’s been up and down in his two starts since taking over last month after an injury to graduate student Everett Golson.

“Their quarterbacks are both taking care of the football,” Doeren said. “They’ve only thrown two interceptions the entire season, which is really impressive.”

Though it appears Maguire will get the nod as the starter, Golson could see some playing time. If he does, his throwing ability won’t blow you away but he is a significantly bet-

ter runner than Maguire and thus poses a dangerous rushing threat in addition to Cook.

Defensively, the Seminoles are led by junior defensive back Jalen Ramsey who was named to numerous All-American teams a season ago and is a consensus projected top 10 NFL Draft pick. “[FSU has] probably one of the best DBs in the country in Ramsey,” Doeren said. “Eighteen pass breakups, which is amazing.”

While teams rarely throw in his direction, he still has 47 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and multiple big plays prevented because of his glue-like coverage.

With Ramsey locking down half of the field, senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett will be limited in who he can find open to throw the ball to. It could force the Pack to run multiple screen passes as well as utilize the running backs and tight ends more than usual in the

passing game.

NC State would love to be able to run the ball effectively to control time of possession, keeping the powerful Florida State offense off the field.

The running backs performed admirably in the Pack’s first game without junior Matt Dayes, rushing for 139 yards against the nation’s top rushing defense in Boston College.

If the Pack can run as effectively as it did against a stout BC defense, it will really help

the team’s chances of upsetting the Seminoles.

Expect sophomore utility player Jaylen Samuels to once again get the majority of the carries with redshirt sophomore Dakwa Nichols and freshman Reggie Gallaspy II helping out.

Saturday marks the Pack’s last scheduled road game of the season as they then return to Carter-Finley Stadium to wrap up the season against Syracuse and UNC-Chapel Hill.

Dear GTI Wolfie

Joseph Ochoa Staff Writer

As most fantasy leagues start their postseason around Week 14, it’s time to start finalizing who you’re are going to try and target for the home stretch and who will give you great assets in a trade.

Sell High : Marshaw n Lynch, Seattle Seahawks While it seems absurd to trade someone who has been a fantasy stud the past few seasons, Lynch has only been averaging 3.6 yards per carry, well off of his 4.7 yards per clip from 2014. Given what a huge name he is, Lynch is a guy who can net valuable assets in a trade.

Quarterback to start: Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers Newton is making me regret my remark about him having a drop off this year.

He’s currently ranked as the fourth best fantasy QB behind Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. The former Heisman Trophy winner also has a rushing and passing touchdown in five games this season.

PPR special: Danny Woodhead, San Diego Chargers While Woodhead isn’t going to give you the rushing totals needed for standard leagues, he is a viable weapon in the passing game. He’s the thirdhighest scoring back in ESPN PPR leagues behind Devonta Freeman and Mark Ingram.

With wideout Keenan Allen out for the year with a lacerated kidney, Woodhead’s value will only increase.

Dear GTI Wolfie, I am in my junior year at NC State living in an apartment near campus. My new Chinese roommate has been really nice, but every time we try to have a conversation she stands so close to me I feel uncomfortable. If I move back, she just follows me! I don’t want to be rude but it is really hard to have a conversation with her when she is so close! What should I do?

Claustrophobic at Campus Edge Dear Claustrophobic, Different cultures have different views regarding personal space. Americans tend to have the largest personal “bubble” with 18-36 inches between us and our conversation partners.

Other cultures are more comfortable with less personal space. As a result, when cultures with different views of space are interacting it often feels like a struggle, where both parties are constantly shifting to try and find their optimal zone of comfort.

One way to find some middle ground is to change the angle in which you physically stand in the conversation. When your roommate approaches, you can turn slightly so you aren’t quite face-to-face. That way, you can have space while your Chinese roommate can still feel close enough to be comfortable in the encounter as well. Another option would be to propose having a more defined space for your conversations. For instance, you could suggest sitting at the dining room table to chat.

Also, it can be helpful to talk to each other openly about some of these cultural differences you are noticing, and if you are worried about how to approach the subject, Cultural Exchange Network (CENet) holds workshops to help facilitate communication. Visit go.ncsu. edu/CENet for more information.

Good Luck!
