It’s time for food, family, friends, fellowship, fun and of course, more food. With Turkey Day right around the comer, this week students share their dos and don’ts of Thanksgiving. #ThanksgivingRules... “Do give thanks and spend time with your family because you never know how long they may be around.” Tyeishia Alford, Senior “Do give back to a needy family, relax and have fun with family before final exams. Don’t be greedy!” Staci Brownlee, Sophomore “Do visit your family and close friends, dress comfortable because you eat a lot, say what you’re thankful for and shop Black Friday. Don’t fuss or fight.” Leah Gordone, Sophomore “Don’t cook chicken instead of turkey.” Luis Jimenez, Junior “Don’t offer 2 cook if u can’t!” Quientin Jordan, Senior “Don’t invite yourself over to my house expecting a plate, or expecting something on the television other than football.

Say what you’re thankful for.” Jaleisa Whitley, Sophomore “Don’t wait until the last minute to cook the turkey.” Lewis Williams, Junior “Do enjoy yourself, that’s why they make mad food.

Many will be thankful for the people in their lives, having a job and a place to call home. While most will be praying over a banquet, countless others will not be as fortunate. With a population of more than 120,000, Fayetteville has some disturbing data concerning the well being of many those residents. While unemployment is below the national average, other factors such as income and numbers of families and individuals below the poverty line are well above the national average. These numbers represent real people go ing without food, proper clothing, shelter or simply struggling to provide basic needs. In such a rich country how can so many go without?

That is, until communication Professor Skye Dent came along. Communication students were given the privilege to see the pre-released movie pre miere of “Morning Glory, ” for free on Nov. 8 at the Millstone 14 theater. Professor Dent had been in contact with the producer of the film, J.J. Abrams, since July. Originally, she had asked to hold the premiere in Raleigh to which he agreed, however the location was changed to the new theater in Hope Mills, to better accommodate FSU students. Professor Dent wanted to give this opportunity to FSU students because the movie’s plot is about journalism and broadcast news, which ties in perfectly with the new FSU journalism pro gram just added to the Department of Com munication. A REVIEW Paramount Picture’s “Morning Glory” stars Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Ke aton and Jeff Goldblum. They brought laugh ter to their audience in this film about a T.V producer, McAdams’ character, Becky Fuller, a hard-working, typical young go-getter, who gets fired from one news show and then gets hired at “Daybreak,” a morning show that was ranked the worst morning show nation ally. Fuller does everything in her power to bring the show back to life, and increase its ratings. She hires an award-winning journal ist, Ford’s character, Mike Pomeroy, who was just sitting on his contract with “Daybreak.” Giving him an ultimatum. Fuller tells him to either be her new anchor, or he’ll lose his contract (and money) through a clause she found. Once he agrees. Fuller must handle the stresses of him refusing certain stories. and her other host, Keaton’s character, Col leen Peck and him bickering throughout the film, in turn making her job that much harder. Along the way, her persistence takes a turn for the better, as the ending of this light-heart ed comedy is undeniably predictable. The movie was able to pull the audience in emotionally through the highs and lows of the characters. McAdams’ character was ex tremely likable with her dramatic rants and babbling and finding love along the way. The comedic relief in this film helps to lighten the seriousness of the issues this morning show See GLORY, page 12 I j. •> ; • N / • ! * r (• u f ‘f r /• /• I r /• )'
