IN BRIEF Obama lands in Cuba as first US president to visit since 1928

President Barack Obama arrived in Havana on Sunday, becoming the first sitting American president to visit Cuba in 88 years. The president was accompanied by a delegation of 800-1,200 members and joined by the first lady Michelle Obama and his two daughters. Obama will meet Raúl Castro on Monday to discuss trade and political relations.

The president will also speak to the Cuban people on Tuesday.

Although the opposition in Congress remains fierce, Obama has expressed high hopes toward lifting the trade embargo once he visits. This historic visit represents a drastic change in the United States’ approach toward Cuba. The U.S. froze its diplomatic relations with Havana in the ‘90s after the Cuban Revolution.

NC writers urge state government to spend more on education and healthcare

Bestselling authors gathered at the state Capitol on Saturday to protest policies they believe are harming public education, access to healthcare and more. The event was organized by novelist and musician Bland Simpson, and writer Jill McCorkle. Clyde Edgerton, Allan Gurganus and Margaret Maron were among the authors who spoke against the policies introduced by Republican legislators. The authors’ demands included increasing education funding, raising teacher salaries and expanding Medicaid.

Although the Republicans have increased education funding and teacher salaries in the recent years, the authors argue that it is not enough. According to McCorkle, the writers’ group hopes to have more similar gatherings before November.

NCSU scientists find pregnant T. Rex

In collaboration with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, a team of NC State scientists discovered the presence of a gender-specific reproductive tissue, the medullary bone, in a fossilized T. rex femur. The fossil is 68 million years old and is believed to belong to a Montanan T. rex.

This discovery is important to understanding gender differences between meat-eating dinosaurs.

The findings were published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Jugad Bedi, a senior studying mechanical engineering, dances to an Indian song during Holi. Holi is a Hindu festival, known as the festival of colors or the festival of sharing love, announcing the passing of winter and arrival of spring. It is typically celebrated with dancing, singing and throwing colored powders. Although the official day of the celebration is Wednesday, students came together to celebrate on Lee Field Saturday.

Holi festival spreads colors, culture Adam Davis Assistant News Editor

Clouds of color filled the air and out emerged students masked in powder.

On Saturday, over 500 students celebrated Holi, a festival of colors, at Lee Field.

“It’s a festival of colors, so you just forget everything and enjoy,” said Zeal Ganatra, a graduate student studying computer science. Ganatra is a member of Maitri, NC State’s Indian Graduate Student Association, and helped run the event. “We have no structure, we’re just playing the music and you

can do whatever you want.”

Maitri, Ektaa, Union Activities Board, Delta Sigma Iota Inc. and Kappa Phi Lambda Inc. hosted the celebration.

“It’s a completely spontaneous event,” said Sathvik Divi, a graduate student studying mechanical engi-

neering and member of Maitri. “You have color on you, so which is the face that you want to throw it in?”

Holi is a traditional Indian festival that is rooted in Hinduism.

Spoken word acts talk racism, injustice Caroline Martin Correspondent

Spoken word performances “Ink” and “Silence” aimed to inform and relate to the audience with brutal honesty and real perspectives from a variety of characters. The shows were held on Thursday and Saturday at the Kennedy-Mcllwee Studio Theatre in Thompson Hall and Friday at One Earth Pavilion in Talley Student Union.

William Stewart was awarded the 2015 Creative Artist Award for “Ink” and Bethel Maekele and Britnique Hodge were given Honorable Mention for the 2015 Creative Artist Award for “Silence.” The deadline for this year’s award is this Tuesday and is awarded to exceptional work in music, dance and theater created by NC State students.

The first act of the show was “Silence,” which included two women standing together speaking both individually and in perfect synchrony about racism and

injustice.

In “Silence,” Bethany Kendall, a junior studying history and Africana studies, spoke as Performer #1 and Vanessa Springs, a 2015 NC State graduate in environmental technology and management, spoke as Performer #2.

Kendall and Springs shed light on prevalent issues of race and injustice, sharing their personal experiences with racism and societal misconceptions through poetry and spoken word during the performance.

The simple, one-word title of “Silence” was up for interpretation by audience and cast members alike.

“To me, the title ‘Silence’ represents how when a lot of things happen, something that you feel is unjust, the people surrounding you don’t know how to react so they just pretend it’s not going on and turn the other way, and that’s ‘Silence,’” Springs said.

Kendall agreed with her fellow

“Authentic, lyrical, smart and underrated” are just some of the words fans used to describe Maryland-native rapper, Logic. On Saturday, Logic took the stage at The Ritz along with Flint, Michigan, native Dizzy Wright. But before smoke, lights and heavy bass could fill the air, Logic took time to show appreciation to his fans. Logic hosted a meet and greet for all of the show attendees at 4:30 p.m., where fans could come and ask questions.

“In my own life, there have been tons of times where prejudiced things have been said against me and awful things said against me and where all I could do was bite my tongue,” Kendall said. “I didn’t have the bravery to say anything, I didn’t have the timing to say anything, I didn’t have the chance to say anything.”

Rachel Klem, the director of “Ink” and an acting coach and instructor for NC State’s University Theatre, had a similar view on “Silence.” “‘Silence’ was the first piece, and it is specifically about being silent to injustice or racism,” Klem said. “And also the feeling of the woman that the story happened to was that she felt shocked into silence.”

“Ink” and “Silence” are closely related, such as their accessibility to an audience and poignant words on social injustice, but Klem described “Ink ” as being more about “pen to paper, writing down your thoughts and sharing the thoughts of your heart with the world.”

The cast enjoyed many topics and quotations from the performance. “False prophets only preaching for profit granted the word abomination on interracial and homosexual wedding rings,” was one the best lines in the show, according to Vincent Bland Jr., a student in the Wake NC State

Individuals who are members of the student chapter of the Associated General Contractors, or AGC, as well as others who were interested, including Steve Welton, a professor in the civil engineering department, had the opportunity to receive a tour of the site. Schoch is the secretary of the chapter and organized the tour. According to Schoch, the AGC arranges similar field trips to construction sites each year. “It is important for engineers to get out in the field and gain exposure to real projects. As an organization, AGC works hard to expand the educational experience outside of the classroom so that students can actually see what they are learning. We were very fortunate to visit such a unique jobsite right here on campus,” Schoch said.

STEM Early College program and Poet #2 in “Ink.” Arthur Freeman, a junior studying philosophy who played Poet #1, felt connected to his character. He felt that his character was intended to “give people hope.”

Freeman portrayed an “awkward” person who deals with the effects of social anxiety and troubles with his love life.

The performance also informed its audience on issues relevant on a college campus, such as rape. Deborah Lalush, a freshman studying industrial design who was Poet #4 in “Ink” who was a character who spoke on an experience with rape and homosexuality. She backed strong and enlightening words with startling statistics, such as, “97 percent of rapists are not convicted.”

“Ink” included a character who spoke on behalf of a veteran and the thoughts and emotions that a veteran may experience, which was portrayed by John Gupton, a senior studying chemical engineering and Poet #3. Gupton’s favorite line was, “Dreams are for sleeping, and sleeping is for the wealthy.”

The cast of “Silence” had four to five rehearsals, and the cast of “Ink” had about 15 rehearsals that lasted about three hours each. The work put in by the cast and crew was worth it, according to the cast, because they made great friendships, were able to share their message to an audience and speak out about current problems.

There, g roups of students heard Professor Eva Johannes from the microscopy program speak about the microscopes used to capture the images. Attendees also listened to graduate students speak about the stories behind their research and the importance of the images they took.

The images were taken in the Cellular and Molecular Imaging Facility, or the CMIF, at NC State, where Johannes is the director.

“It was nice to see the younger undergraduate students able to sort of see graduate-level work and the results, and then they could maybe imagine themselves doing that,” said George Thomas, director of the Crafts Center.

In planning this event, the Crafts Center focused on showcasing how the microscopy program can inspire creativity to primarily undergraduate students.

“At the Crafts Center, we believe that education is knowledge, but until you put that to work, it’s not valuable,” Thomas said. “Any time we make a product, that’s craft, and so when t hey ’re ta k i ng t he resea rch and they’re changing the world through their research, through our knowledge of health … then they have turned that into a craft.”

As smoke filled the stage, the screen showed a 3-D animation that depicted a journey through space, and fans began to chant the lyrics of “Contact,” the opening song of Logic’s most recent album. When the song finished, the screen went black and more smoke entered the stage. Logic then took the stage performing “Fade Away,” the biggest hit off his most recent album.

After finishing his opening set, Logic gave praise to

variety of resources available at CMIF, such as transmitted light and advanced f luorescence microscopy techniques.

Gabrielle Corradino, a graduate student in the marine, earth and atmospheric sciences department who likes to spend time at the Crafts Center, said, “I work with some of these supertypes of microscopes, and so I was taking a look. My images are not as clear as these, and so I was taking a look to see what types of microscopes they used.”

One of Corradino’s favorite works on display was “dopamine-producing nerve cells of five-day-old zebrafish brain.” “[The work] was incredibly interesting because it looked at a specific nerve cells within the fish, and it looks nothing like I would think a nerve cell would like,” Corradino said. “The colors in it were magnificent. It has a really nice picture to it. I could put that up in my house and people would have no idea what that is which is cool.”

Corradino also enjoyed “pollen grains,” which was an image of magnified pollen grains that were illuminated with blue light.

“Especially in spring time, we interact with pollen a lot, a lot of times through allergies,” Corradino said. “I like this picture because it shows pollen in a different way. We’re normally always sneezing or getting headaches from the pollen, but this is a very artistic image that shows pollen in a very beautiful way — the way it’s all symmetric for the

individual pollen pieces from the plant.”

Through events such as workshops and exhibitions conducted by faculty members, the Crafts Center is trying to reach out to more students, according to Thomas.

“At the Crafts Center, we’re trying to reach out into the sciences, into education and connect in different ways with the university,” Thomas said. “We’re just looking for new ways to connect with the student groups and with the academic side to help bring education beyond t he classroom.”

Recently, the Crafts Center hosted an exhibit titled “Disappearing Frogs Project Exhibition.” The exhibit was concerned with the disappearance of frogs and attempted to educate the public on this issue through art.

On April 18, the Crafts Center will host a group of five young woodworkers to talk about their business models and what encouraged them to get into the craft.

Images from “Exploring the Micro-World” will remain on display through mid-April in the Crafts Center.

Logic interacted with the audience in between sets, at one point having full conversations with a few fans and another time receiving a Rubik’s Cube, Logic’s iconic ideogram, and solving it on stage. Logic told an anecdote to the crowd of him meeting two people, a black kid “in the hood” and a nerdy white kid in the suburbs, and both solved a Rubik’s Cube while expressing their appreciation for his music. The show came to a close at 11 p.m.

Stevie Thompson, a sophomore studying industrial engineering and a long-time

fan of Logic, was satisfied and expressed the nostalgic value behind hearing some of his favorite songs live.

“When he played ‘All I Do,’ oh man. That was the first song I ever heard from Logic,” Thompson said.

This was Logic’s 32nd sold-out performance on “ T he I nc red ible World Tour.” Logic has 11 more sold out shows left, all in the United States, before taking his tour overseas.

Shraddha Rathod, a senior studying electrical engineering, throws a fistful of colors at Akash Akkiangadi, a sophomore studying computer engineering, at Holi. Holi is a Hindu festival, known as the festival of colors or the festival of sharing love, announcing the passing of winter and arrival of spring.

It is typically celebrated with dancing, singing and throwing colored powders.

who hated the Indian god Lord Vishnu. When the king’s son began praying to Lord Vishnu, the king tried to kill him. However, the son kept praying to Lord Vishnu and was able to stay alive.

“The meaning has kept on changing … for many years,” said Shivam Gulati, a graduate student studying computer science and member of Maitri.

In intervals of 20 minutes, organizers passed out free packets of color to attendees. All of the colors were imported from India.

Divi described the event as a way to have fun and celebrate successes.

“Given that it’s at NC State and it’s just after spring break and before spring break a lot of people have midterms, it’s a way for people to celebrate their success,” Divi said. “Or for the others, who are not so successful, it’s a way to cope with the post-midterm trauma.”

In addition, Divi sees Holi as a way to make new friends.

“This is an event where you also get to meet strangers, because after a certain point everybody’s face has colors on them,” Divi said.

Ganatra replied, “You don’t realize who is who.”

Shikhar Arora, a sophomore studying mechanical engineering who is from India, appreciated the event’s authenticity.

“It was a pleasant experience for me where I got to see so many other people, not only of my religion or my community… so it was a great experience overall I think,” Arora said. “They were successful in portraying it how we used to do it when I was young.”

However, Arora felt the event came up short in teaching attendees why Holi is celebrated.

Ruhani Agrawal, a sophomore studying genetics, described the significance of Holi.

“Culturally, [Holi is] kind of like the welcoming of spring,” Agrawal said.

“Religiously … it’s pretty much good over evil, and good wins every time.”

Why I don’t wear makeup “

Why? Don’t you want to look pretty? A little bit of makeup could enhance your natural beauty.”

Amanda These statements have Reza often been difficult to hear, Correspondent as many people have voiced their opinions about how I should wear makeup. Sometimes subtle, unintentional suggestions can be frustrating. Hearing statements such as, “But it won’t look like you’re wearing any,” is often the most obnoxious. I wonder to myself, what is the point? But the fact remains that it is my face, and I am in control of it.

To most people, the idea that I’m comfortable with my natural beauty does not seem to cross their minds. Yes, it is true — I have never worn makeup, and while I may realize that this self-assertion may come off as a bit pretentious, I strongly believe that makeup does not constitute beauty. To be beautiful is to be confident in yourself, to be proud of what makes you who you are. It is to reflect your unique physical features as well as the deeper diverse aspects of your background. I am not stating that makeup is not necessary, but instead, that it should not be held as a means to attractiveness.

Makeup is often an accessory to looking presentable and feeling dressed up and can often be used as a form of art. What is not acceptable is to use it as a shield to walk out of your home. According to a survey by the Renfrew Center Foundation, about 44

percent of women feel unattractive without makeup. Although, “#wokeuplikethis” selfies and several body acceptance movements are making an effort toward appreciating ourselves.

My neglect toward makeup is a personal reminder that I know that I have beauty. In a society that pressures individuals to keep up with appearances at all times, I have found it to be more important not to wear makeup.

I want to prove that it is possible for myself, that I can be strong without it because I am a strong individual. In order to be dedicated to this idea, this includes social occasions and presentations.

In addition to being able to own your natural beauty, there are many benefits to using less makeup. It saves time from getting ready. It saves money. And for me personally, it saves sanity from keeping up with the hassle of trends.

While I can talk about how I feel strongly about makeup and believe that it should not be a necessity for people to depend on, this can be applied to any goal. If you really feel passionate about something, you need to be strong about your opinions. Do not give up because you do something or believe in something that is different from the majority of the population. Being able to hold your opinion shows that you are a strong individual — whether it pertains to wearing makeup or going without it — and maybe if you are lucky, people will look up to you one day.

Unhealthy body image obsession W

ith swimsuit season fast approaching, it seems like all the women in my life are dieting, exercising, tanning and most excessively, the women in my life are unsatisfied with their bodies.

While this fact is apparent and striking at this time of year, it is nothing new. According to a February 2014 TODAY/AOL Ideal to Real Body Image Katherine Survey, women spend an Waller Staff Columnist average of 55 minutes every day working on their appearances — that’s 335 hours every year, or two weeks. Other studies have suggested even greater amounts of time wasted. In January, a Yahoo Health survey of 2,000 people discovered that men are twice as likely to be satisfied with their appearances than women.

Not only is it in the numbers, but from Erin Andrews’ lawsuit to Kim Kardashian’s nude selfie controversies, recently it has been exceptionally obvious how the obsession with female bodies saturates our culture — we even live in a culture in which beauty is often blamed for sexual violence against women.

For groups commonly or historically discriminated against because of their appearances, learning to love their appearances for the culture and heritage they represent is important. However, the Positive Body Image Movement, while nobly intended, has created a culture obsessively focused on appearance, and is not without its issues.

A writer for the WomanStats Project Blog referenced in a 2014 post, “Why I Dislike the Positive Body Image Movement,” the “body image debate,” which means that by choosing to create a positive body image by changing your body through lots of work and exercise, these people are pitting themselves against an ideology that attempts to create a positive image by loving themselves as they are.

Self-love ideologies create teams that tend to just shame the other.

The real problem with body positivity is the obsession with female bodies in general. Women are pressured toward eating disorders by celebrating unrealistic thinness and on the other extreme, unhealthiness is celebrated when harmful obesity is promoted.

Self-love is becoming a movement that, at one extreme, means, “I love myself so much, I will transform my body.” Selflove manifests itself in obsessive exercise, extreme dieting, tanning, plastic surgery, getting manicures and pedicures, getting your hair dyed and cut, purchasing expensive designer makeup and shopping for clothes that will mask your f laws.

How do you feel about the way meat is processed in the United States?

“I trust the USDA and their standards for how they process meat.”

“I am vegetarian, and I think that the way meat is processed in this country, the production should be reduced, and I would like to encourage people to turn vegetarian and try avoiding it. I don’t mind it, but I think people should avoid it because innocent animals are being killed for that.”

Even wearing corsets and “waist-training” is gaining popularity. Changing your body to feel confident is a completely false sense of self-love, and it’s an obsession that caters to what others see.

Many women I know have “thinspiration” or “fitspiration” Pinterest boards that are intended to inspire them to achieve a perfect body; in actuality, these images just make them feel extraordinarily inadequate.

Now, social media campaigns are all about “brave” no-makeup selfies and women displaying their bodies, tracking progress, writing long posts about why

“The real problem with body positivity is the obsession with female bodies in general.” they love their bodies and spending hours upon hours craf ting self-conf idence about how they look on the outside.

No matter which extreme of the body positivity movement a person resides in, it is obvious that it has transformed from positive and helpful and into shallow and ridiculous.

The WomanStats Blog insists that “the positive body image movement may have started out nobly, but it has devolved into another exercise in vanity and self-absorption. It has taught women to become self-centered and to believe that thinking about their bodies, no matter how, is absolutely essential to healthy functioning.”

Women should love their bodies for what they are and should strive to keep them healthy. It would be healthier if we could take the focus off bodies entirely and stop publicly “appreciating” female bodies and physical appearances, whether it be negatively or positively.

Suzannah Weiss, a prolific lifestyle w riter about fema le-body-image issues for Marie Claire Magazine, stated, “Accepting how much space our bodies take up can be empowering — but so can giving our bodies less much space in our heads.” The truth is, body hatred of this “body image obsession” can distract women from power and accomplishments.

The message we receive from the Positive Body Image Movement is that you can be fat or thin, but the focus is absolutely still on how you look. We need to change the focus from our appearance to our capabilities, from how confident we are in a bikini to how confident we are asserting our opinions, goals and our power.

How faculty is trained for suicide prevention Carolyn Thompson Staff Writer

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students, and 24,000 suicide attempts occur on college campuses nationwide each year, according to national statistics.

Students, facult y and staff at NC State can play an important role in suicide prevention through Question, Persuade and Refer, or QPR, training — a community-based, nationally recognized and empirically grounded suicide prevention program.

Through this training, individuals are taught to recognize verbal, behavioral and situational clues, how to question a person about suicidal thoughts, persuade them to seek help and refer them for help.

“QPR is a program where only certified instructors can facilitate,” said Tina Nelson-Moss, the program manager of the NC State Violence Prevention and Threat Management Pro-

gram and NC State Risk A s se s sment C a se Ma nager. “My office provides the training to faculty and staff while the Counseling Center provides the same training to students.”

QPR training began with faculty and staff in January of 2012, according to Nelson-Moss. NC State’s Counseling Center has joined over 160 other colleges and universities offering QPR. “Prior to 2012, my off ice par t nered w it h t he Counseling Center, and we looked at different suicideprevention curriculum programs, which led to us selecting QPR,” Nelson-Moss said. “It is a great program that allowed us to be able to use with both students and employees.”

The QPR program, which is from the QPR Institute, also takes less time than ot her prog ra m opt ions, according to Angel Bowers, assistant director of outreach at the Counseling Center.

“There a re some programs that are eight hours,

12 hours, and that obviously wasn’t really realistic for our students,” Bowers said. “We wanted to get as many students trained as possible with at least some basic skills, and over and over again, QPR was the program that overarching universities were using.”

The training program aims to teach through experience and educate the participants on national, state and NC State-specific statistics regarding suicide and what tools they can use to assist someone else.

“The training for employees is scheduled for two hours,” Nelson-Moss said.

“This allows us to have 30 to 45 minutes for them to be able to practice the skills they had learned during the class. They learn how to question someone about suicide, the signs of someone in distress and/or possibly being suicidal, how to persuade them to stay alive and refer them to resources — it’s an interactive class.”

Students receive the same information and training as

the faculty and staff, and there is an additional roleplay experience along with the presentation of facts and data.

“We start off with a lowerlevel role play where you’re focused on active listening skills and just focused on creating a relationship with that person in that moment,” Bowers said. “Then we would do more of a higher-level role play where’s there’s actually some level of risk involved. It’s putting the trained person in that position in the role of asking questions about someone’s suicidality and asking them about their available resources and connecting them to resources that are on campus.”

Everyone in the room isn’t necessarily doing a roleplay, but they are at least watching one, according to Bowers. Observing the concrete behaviors and actions in those situations still supplements the training.

Individuals can register for QPR trainings online through the Counseling

Center’s suicide prevention page. Faculty and staff can register with the Violence Prevention and Threat Management Program. According to the suicide prevention page, groups can also sign up for QPR training that is tailored to their specific groups.

“If we’re talking to a specific student group and they have questions about ‘how might this impact our group in particular?’ Then we can try to bring in some statistics that are related,” Bowers said. “If we’re talking to the GLBT student organization, or to a veteran’s group, or a women’s group, or men’s group or something along those lines where they want something more specific to their group, we can definitely bring in data to support that as well.”

About f ive Counseling Center staff members were trained in QPR in the beginning of its instillation at NC State.

“Representatives from the Counseling Center and my program obtained certifi-

cation to be an instructor, purchased QPR booklets to distribute to participants and customized the presentation to meet the needs of our university community before rolling it out,” Nelson-Moss said.

All resident advisers have had QPR training, according to Samantha Blue, a sophomore R A at Welch Hall studying mathematics education.

“People shou ld go through this training because it really opens your eyes to the true seriousness of suicide and what you can do to prevent it,” Blue said.

“Also, the training helped you understand that you can help prevent suicide if you just look for the little signs.”

Upcoming QPR classes will be held March 23 and April 12 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Professor teaches in Slovakia on Fulbright grant Laurie Howard Correspondent

The Fu lbrig ht Scholar Program is the largest educational exchange program.

It prov ides merit-based grants to students, professors, professionals and artists, among others, to promote an international knowledge base. Inherently humanistic, the exchange of people, ideas and skills actively works to cultivate unity on a global scale.

Since the program’s beginning, NC State has had more than 65 scholars accepted to the program. One recipient, Robert Kochersberger, an associate professor of journalism, won the honor three times.

For Kochersberger, the title is synchronous with his students’ admiration, along with his love of teaching.

Kochersberger grew up in western New York. Early on, he uncovered a passion for writing. As an aspiring young writer often does, he wrote for his high school’s paper, bolstered by the encouragement of an admired teacher. But, unlike many young writers, he kept writing. He studied journalism in college, writing for a local paper simultaneously.

L a t e r, Ko c h e r s b e r g e r wrote for several papers t hroug hout t he state of New York, working in highenergy, smoky newsrooms stocked w ith booze and swear words. The thrill that came with this environment — brimming with “bright, f unny, ent husiast ic a nd curious people” — when breaking news was unfolding was unequivocally stimulating, Kochersberger said.

But he had another calling.

“It was in my genes to help people learn,” Kochersberger said. “I come from a family of teachers.”

Ko c h e r s b e r g e r b e g a n teaching journalism in NC State’s English department in 1986. He received his first Fulbright in 1991.

CONTRIBUTED BY ROBERT KOCHERSBERGER

NC State professor of journalism, Robert Kochersberger, pictured in Nitra, Slovakia. Kochersberger has taught classes on writing abroad as part of a Fulbright grant. His first trip was in 1991 to teach in Yugoslavia in an area that is now Slovenia.

“I really didn’t know what I was getting into,” Kochersberger said. “I knew I wanted to do a Fulbright, and I wanted a country in Europe that was going to be different — but not too different. Yugoslavia seemed to fill the bill.”

He taught in the northwestern-most part of Yugoslavia in a cit y called Ljubljana from January to June of 1991. Ten days after returning to the United States, internal conf lict in Yugoslavia led to the autonomy of the same region, now ca l led Slovenia, in which he taught. In 2003, he returned to the same area on a second Fulbright.

“It was kind of unique — I

was in the very same place, but I was in a brand new countr y,” Kochersberger said.

Kochersberger also received a Fu lbrig ht of a shorter duration, in which he traveled to Thailand and Egypt.

“You see things you would not have seen [otherwise],” Kochersberger said. “You have the chance to live in another country for a duration — which is really different from just visiting.

I always tell my friends, ‘Once I’ve had a haircut in a new country, then I know I’m really there for the duration.’”

While teaching at State, Kochersberger routinely

contributed to The News & Observer, operating as a freelance writer. He has covered a wide variety of topics, ranging from aviation to the death penalty. He draws from his own experiences for much of his work, some of which are easier to address than others.

In 2014, Kochersberger f i nished t h i rd place i n “Jeopardy.” In 2015, he won a cooking contest with a Cuban dish called Picadillo, which his college girlfriend taught him to make. His second home is a beautiful, secluded farm in Pennsylvania. He’s currenty teaching in Nitra, Slovakia, on his third full-length Fulbright.

However, Kochersberg-

er has faced hardships as well. July 5, 2007, his son, Charlie, committed suicide.

Kochersberger is currently writing a memoir, “Sorry to Freak You Out,” about his son.

“He was a wonderful person — funny, handsome, musical, well-educated and kind ... I’ll never forget any second of his life,” Kochersberger said. “It’s important that students know this sort of tragedy can strike a normal, even ‘special’ kind of family.”

T he ex per ienc e t ra nscends beyond his personal life, beyond his written reflections. It’s made manifest in his interactions with students and his compassion

for others.

“He really wants to be a resource, to make it known he’s available if you’re troubled,” said Rod Cockshutt, emeritus lecturer in the journa lism depa r t ment.

“He’s a caring and open person … always willing to listen.”

Currently, Kochersberger is working for the Department of British and American Studies at the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra, Slovakia, teaching a writing course and an American studies course.

Kochersberger is returning to NC State in the spring of 2017.

Trebel Music app strikes chord, but needs tuning Adam Davis Assistant News Editor

Trebel Music

 A new app called Trebel Music seeks to change the way young people access music. At f irst glance, it seems similar to the free versions of Spotify or Pandora – users gain access to free music and pay for it by watching ads. However, Trebel comes with a twist.

“We compete with torrent sites,” said Gary Mekikian, CEO of M&M Media, the company that created Trebel Music. “Trebel is not a streaming service … We’re not a radio service. We are a download and play service.”

Free music downloads?

Can this get me in trebel?

With Trebel, a user can download any song from the app’s catalog and then play t hat song w it hout streaming. This way, users have the freedom to play whatever songs they want but without having to pay a fee. In this way, Trebel Music mirrors torrent sites, but with Trebel, the artists are compensated for their work.

Trebel pays artists by filling the app with advertisements. Every time you see or watch an advertisement, you gain digital currency that lets you listen to the songs you’ve downloaded.

This digita l currenc y is what helps pay the artists for their music.

Mekikian views Trebel as a solution to a problem.

Because most young people are not yet earning a large income, Mekikian says they

are more drawn to download music illegally. However, when this happens, artists are not compensated for their work.

Trebel does not intend to be a replacement for buying music, but instead, a solution for students and other young people who can’t afford to buy music or pay for premium services.

“Those young people who can afford to pay for… premium services absolutely should,” Mekikian said.

The app was released this

month on Android and iOS for college students, and will be available nationwide after further testing.

The Review Overall, my experience w it h Trebel Mu sic wa s positive but certainly not f lawless. The app’s unique concept allows users free play without wasting part of an expensive data plan or waiting to buffer. While using the app, though, it felt as though more effort had been put into social and

cosmetic features than the app’s actual selling point.

Wit h t hat bei ng sa id, these social and cosmetic features work well to improve the user experience.

The app’s most iconic feature is that when you play a song, the album’s coverart spins around like a record. You can even interact with the virtual record by spinning it forward to skip ahead in the song, or spinning it backward to rewind.

This feature is effective,

but it would have been nice to have more interactivity.

On a real record, you hear a certain sound effect when you spin the vinyl manually.

The app’s lack of this sound ma kes it feel as t hough something is missing, but such a small detail is also forgivable.

In addition, Trebel Music automatically generates a new color scheme based off of any album art, and a simple shake of your phone will save that color scheme

to your settings.

This is one of my favorite features, because it helps me feel more attached to the app. When I open Trebel and see the color scheme from Benjamin Gibbard’s “Former Lives,” I know that the app is customized to my musical taste.

In terms of social features, Trebel takes a note from Spotify. You can share playlists with your friends and even send each other virtual currency.

Trebel then takes the social atmosphere a step further, connecting you with your classmates. College students can see the top songs played and downloaded at their school.

Despite these perks, it is clear that Trebel still needs polishing.

The app works well most of the time, but occasionally it runs into an error where clicking on one song plays another song instead.

I also kept running into the issue that when listening to a playlist, the song would pause at the end rather than continuing to the next song.

And, like every new app, you ex pect to see some crashes.

I still prefer my phone’s stock music app for playing music I’ve paid for, but Trebel is nice for albums I don’t want to drop money on.

However, one has to keep in mind that Trebel is a new app, and many of its current problems will likely be resolved in the future.

Bugs are common in any new software, but Trebel’s concept and design make it worth the download.

In the bottom of the third, the offense came alive for NC State. After RBIs from junior Andrew Knizner and senior Chance Shepard, Palmeiro hit a double with the bases loaded for three RBIs to tie the game at five through three innings.

Palmeiro was calm about the moment and was really looking for one pitch to hit off of Fighting Irish junior Scott Tully.

“In that at-bat, I was just looking for a fastball over the middle of the plate,” Palmeiro said. “I had a long at bat my first time up, so I saw what he had.

Gwiz falls in NCAA Final Joseph Ochoa Staff Writer

For the last three years at NC State, redshirt senior Nick Gwiazdowski helped transform the NC State wrestling program from middle-of-theroad to one of the best in the country.

On Saturday night, the Delanson, New York, native put on an NC State singlet one last time.

Gwiazdowski fell to world champion Kyle Snyder 7-5 in overtime, failing to become a three-time national champion. The Wolfpack finished 11th overall at the NCAA wrestling championships this weekend. The 11th-place finish is the highest finish since the 1993 season, when the Wolfpack finished seventh in the country at the NCAAs. In addition to Gwiazdowski, the wrestling team had junior Pete Renda at 184 pounds and redshirt senior Tommy Gantt at 157 pounds finish the tournament in third and eighth place, respectively, both of which were good enough to garner All-American status.

The three All-Americans tied a school record set in 1993, when NC State had three wrestlers finish with the honor.

Despite tying a school record with eight wrestlers receiving a bid for the tournament, only Gwiazdowski and Renda reached the semifinals. Renda lost his semifinal bout to eventual champion Gabe Dean but defeated Nolan Boyd of Oklahoma State to receive third place in the 184-pound division.

The match between Gwiazdowski and Snyder was labeled beforehand as one of the most-anticipated wrestling

matches in recent memory. Some, including Roger Moore of NCAA.com, had even labeled the match “one of the most anticipated wrestling matches in decades” and compared it to the likes of Muhammad Ali versus Joe Frazier.

Going into his final collegiate match, Gwiazdowski won 88-straight matches, including an undefeated season in 2015-2016. Snyder was an impressive wrestler in his own right. After finishing as a national runner-up at the 197-pound weight class last season at Ohio State, Snyder became the youngest American wrestler to ever win the world championship at the age of 19.

Snyder was expected to use the Olympic redshirt this season, but he

decided to compete this season anyway. He jumped up to the heavyweight class and won all six of his matches during the regular season, four of which were tech-fall victories.

The first period was relatively quiet between the two. Despite trading shots early and often through the match, neither wrestler was able to get a leg up on the other, and the first period ended tied at zero.

However, things heated up in the second period, as Gwiazdowski started on bottom and would look to get an escape point. Gwiazdowski got his escape and then a takedown just 20

Christian Candeloro Staff Writers

The No. 13 NC State Wolfpack baseball team took on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and took two of the three games of the series to reach .500 in conference play this season.

The Wolfpack (16-6, 3-3 ACC) came into the series as an up-and-down team, going 2-3 in its last five games. On the other side, the Irish (811, 1-5 ACC) was 7-9 on the season and 1-7 in games away from South Bend, Indiana.

The Wolfpack got the series started with a 9-1 victory over the Irish on Friday night to even its record in conference play.

The game broke open in the sixth and seventh innings. The Wolfpack scored seven runs behind a two-run homer by sophomore Josh McLain in the sixth, and five

RBIs between three batters in the seventh.

Sophomore Joe O’Donnell had a stellar game as well, pitching the first complete game for the Wolfpack since Carlos Rodon did it against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on April 25, 2014.

O’Donnell would’ve had a complete game shutout had it not been for a James Nevant pinch hit home run in the top of the ninth.

Despite giving up the home run in the top of the ninth, O’Donnell reiterated that his focus was just to pitch his best stuff and get the opposing hitters out. O’Donnell also mentioned having a decent lead from the offense helped his confidence.

“I felt good in those last few innings,” O’Donnell said. “I was just trying to keep attacking hitters and throwing strikes. That’s what any pitcher does when you’re up 9-0.”

The Saturday game was much different for the Wolfpack, as it blew an early 4-0

lead and fell to the Irish in 12 innings, 8-4.

The four runs for the Wolfpack were scored on a combined four RBIs from junior Preston Palmeiro and sophomores Shane Shepard and Brock Deatherage in the fourth inning, part of a 16-hit day from the offense.

Despite having a strong game from sophomore Brian Brown, who struck out a career-high 13 batters, the bullpen surrendered a combined six earned runs in the top of the ninth and 12th. The relievers combined for eight walks to give NC State 10 for the game, a number head coach Elliott Avent was not pleased with.

“You should never win a ball game when you are giving up 10 walks in a game,” Avent said. “I’m still convinced that we are not playing to win.”

The sour end of Saturday’s game carried over early on

This past week in Atlanta, Georgia, the NC State Women’s Swimming and Diving team made history by finishing ninth at the Women’s Swimming & Diving NCAA Championships — the secondhighest finish in program history. The Wolfpack broke six school records and nabbed 30 All-America Honors at the NCAAs as well.

NC State has not broken into the top-10 of the team standings at the national championship since 1982 under Bob Weincken.

On Day One of the competition, the Pack competed in the 800-yard freestyle relay, with a team consisting of junior Rachel Muller, junior Alexia Zevnik, senior Shelly Craddock and junior Natalie Labonge.
