IN BRIEF Plane makes emergency landing on Interstate 540

Raleigh pilot William Woody landed his plane on Interstate 540 near Leesville Road Tuesday morning due to the plane having no oil pressure shortly after takeoff from Raleigh-Durham International Airport. No injuries were reported and Woody said the incident will not keep him from flying again. He said he would not be able to make it back to RDU to land, so he declared an emergency and said he was going to have to land on the highway. The plane was a single-engine 1975 Piper Arrow.

Woody said he was able to remain calm and remember what he learned during his training, especially descending slowly so that drivers would have time to react.

Hundreds of protesters block downtown Chapel Hill against HB2

Almost 1,000 people marched Tuesday evening on Franklin Street on Chapel Hill, protesting Gov. Pat McCrory and the passage of House Bill 2. Chapel Hill Police were called in to block traffic due to the influx of people, and the intersection of Franklin and Columbia Streets had to be marked off. Orders were given to the police to let the protest play out. UNCChapel Hill has not made a formal statement about its position regarding the law, but a group of 50 faculty members issued a statement opposing it.

Chapel Hill’s Town Council and Carrboro Board of Alderman both have made moves to call on lawmakers to repeal House Bill 2, local municipalities to seek legal action and businesses and governments to provide genderneutral bathrooms.

Increase in syphilis in Wake County mostly affects HIV-positive men

Last year, Wake County reported more than 200 cases of syphilis, a significant increase from 2003 when fewer than 40 cases were reported. A majority of the new cases involve black men who are HIV positive, according to Wake County Public Health Director Sue Lynn Ledford. She said this can be attributed to them seeking partners who already have HIV and not using condoms, which also spreads other diseases. Condoms prevent the spread of syphilis, which can irritate HIV.

“Education is the very first positive step towrd changing behavior”

Staff Writer

Student Government hosted a racial climate town hall in January introducing four action items to help improve racial climate and cultural competency on campus. Plans are underway to implement the four action items, some starting as soon as next semester.

These action items propose various diversity trainings, leadership roles and a new non-academic misconduct system for NC State.

Mike Mullen, the vice chancellor and dean of the Department of Academic and Student Affairs, expressed his enthusiasm for these diversity trainings and their prospects for

The event, which was hosted by Phi Gamma Delta and Chi Omega, raised almost $1,200 for Pawfect Match Rescue. The Puppy Palooza was held on Harris Field, the grassy area in front of Witherspoon Student Center, on Tuesday.

Union Activities Board will celebrate its 46th Pan Afrikan Week, kicking off Saturday and running until April 9 with more than 20 events on campus. This year’s theme is “Rooted” in honor of the phrase in the Twi language of Ghana, “Sankofa,” which roughly translates to, “It is not taboo to go back and fetch that which we have forgotten.”

Black Students Board Chair and senior studying psychology Tsharre Sanders explained the theme in a statement.

“This theme reminds us, in the midst of the current events surrounding Black culture and the messages we are receiving from the media, about the value of our lives, we are deeply, firmly and unapologetically ROOTED in who

we are,” Sanders said. “We know the value of our lives and we know the importance of our culture. We know those who came before us laid the foundation for us to be who we are today. We look forward to celebrating our rich history of spirituality, dance, step, music, political involvement, fashion, community and much more during this week.”

The following is a calendar of the list of events taking place next week.

NC attorney general refuses to defend the state Staff Report

North Carolina Attorney General and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Roy Cooper said Tuesday that he will not defend Gov. Pat McCrory and the Board of Governors in the lawsuit regarding House Bill 2, a state law passed last week that bars local governments from enacting nondiscrimination protections for the LGBT community.

Cooper said in a news conference that the law is a “national embarrassment” and it “will set North Carolina’s economy back if we don’t repeal it.”

nors and the others being sued in the federal lawsuit, Cooper w i l l defend t he two LGBT people and the lesbian professor against the state. The four organizations standing behind these three individuals — American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of Nor t h Carolina, Equality NC and Lambda Legal — sent out a statement commending Cooper’s decision.

“North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper, the state’s top law enforcement official, has concluded House Bill 2 is unconstitutional and harms North Carolinians without justification,” the statement said.

“As our lawsuit highlighted yesterday, House Bill 2 singles out the LGBT community for discrimination.

That’s not only incompatible with the state’s constitutional and legal obligations but also our shared values as North Carolinians.”

Phil Berger, North Carolina Senate pro tempore and a Republican, sent out a statement during Cooper’s news conference calling him to step down from his office.

Cooper said he has no plans to step down.

“Roy Cooper’s refusal to defend the law makes clear he wants the ACLU to win by default in federal court what they can’t win at the

ballot box and allow men to walk into locker rooms at YMCAs across our country and undress in front of young girls,” Berger said in his statement. “His zeal for pandering for the extreme lef t’s money and agenda in his race for governor is making it impossible for him to fulfill his duties as attorney general — and he should resign immediately.”

Cooper said he has defended the state in other cases he didn’t personally agree with, like a 2013 voter ID law. North Carolina has hired outside lawyers before in other cases, and Cooper believes that McCrory will probably do the same in

this instance, regardless of consequences. However, Cooper said McCrory’s disregard for consequences is what inspired Cooper to run for governor.

“My off ice has stepped up and defended some bad legislation that I do not agree with,” Cooper said.

“We do our job in this off ice. We have seen legislation passed that hurts North Carolinians. We’ve seen legislation passed that hurts people’s abilit y to register to vote. Our office is required — and we have stepped up to defend those cases regardless of any other consequences. But that fact has encouraged me to run

for governor because I know as attorney general, I can’t have as much of an effect on those policies as I can running for governor.”

McCrory criticized Cooper in his video.

“As the state’s attorney, he can’t select which laws he will defend and which laws are politically expedient to refuse to defend,” McCrory said. “... When you are the state’s lawyer, you are a lawyer first and a politician second.”

UPDATES

continued from page 1

The goal of the first action item is to implement mandatory diversity training for student organizations on campus. A diversity and cultural competency training will be implemented at this year’s Student Organizations Leadership and Engagement program in September, according to Moriah Barrow, director of diversity outreach for Student Government.

SOLE is an annual program that requires all student organization leaders to attend a series of trainings together to improve upon leadership skills. According to Barrow, Student Involvement has made an agreement w it h Student Government that requires a diversity and inclusivity training for this year’s SOLE. “The goal overall is to make sure that all of our student leaders are competent and equipped with the skills to be able to accommodate anyone interested in their organization, so that no one is left out,” Barrow said.

Action Item Two The second action item is to provide diversity training at New Student Orientation. Currently, a diversity and inclusivity video is in the works to be presented at this summer’s orientation, according to Darryl Johnson, associate director of diversity outreach for Student Government.

Johnson hopes that the orientation diversity trainings will include something more extensive than a video and be more engaging in years to come. He said the reason for a video this year is due to feasibility and time restraints.

While the first two ac-

tion items are on track to be implemented in the coming months, action items three and four are still in the process of being organized.

Action Item Three The idea for the third action item was to create an honor system based off what was described as an existing honor system at UNCChapel Hill that deals with hateful speech and nonacademic student misconduct. However, after further research, it has come to student leaders’ attention that this honor system does not exist at UNC-Chapel Hill, according to Kamrie Risku, a UAB chair and a sophomore studying political science.

“Student leaders and the administration — we both have the same goals where they do generally care about diversit y and racia l climate,” Risku said. “I think that as long as we continue to work together, instead of working against each other or students working without them, that it will go well and that we can expect to start seeing these.”

Because Risku and other student leaders working on this action item have no established system to use as a model, they are facing difficulty in deciding how to create a system that deals with discriminatory speech without violating students’ right to freedom of speech.

“The understanding of what might hurt someone or may be hateful in some way is really going to vary from person to person,” said Justine Hollingshead, chief of staff for the Division of Academic and Student Affairs. “So, we need to find a way where we have an environment that is welcoming and has some basic expectations, but not limiting a person’s freedom of speech and freedom of thought … when it comes into practical everyday operating this,

it can be very challenging.”

Action Item Four The fourth action item proposes the hiring of an Asian-American assistant director in Multicultural Student Affairs.

“Asian-American students make up approximately 5 percent of the student population at NC State,” said Nina Ondona, a representative of Asian Students in Alliance and a senior studying mechanical engineering, at the first racial climate town hall in January. “This makes us the second largest racial minority group here, but the only one without an assistant director in Multicultural Student Affairs.”

MSA has said that it cannot create this position due to the university being unable to give financial resource support, according to Risku.

Ondona said Tracey Ray, assistant vice provost for student diversit y at NC State, hopes to see a graduate assista nt for Asia nAmerican students in MSA as early as next fall. However, there is no guarantee that adding this position will be possible.

“We’d like to see a stronger emphasis on cultural competence and dealing w it h cu ltura l conf lict,” said Paul Nolan, recently inducted student body president and a junior studying materials science and engineering.

Nolan explained his plans to address cultural competency during his 2016 – term.

“We intend to open up talks on implementing a mandatory course on student success, which will cover topics like cultural competency, personal identity, financial literacy, understanding LGBTQI and the gender spectrum, and other relevant topics,” Nolan said in an email.

‘Tis the season of sneezing I

’ve gotten into a new routine where I open my eyes when I hear my alarm and walk straight over to my tissue box. Thankfully, it hasn’t gotten so bad yet where I can’t sleep, but apparently as soon as I wake up, my allergies wake up too. Most days lately, I’ve sneezed within the first 30 Missy seconds of my day. NothFurman Staff Columnist, ing says good morning like Student Scoop a night-long built up sneeze that takes more energy than you can provide at 6 a.m.

So don’t quote me on this, but I’d say the pollen accumulation on NC State’s campus is higher than any snow or ice we’ve gotten this year. A stroll through the parking lots on campus will show just about every car covered in a thick layer of that yellowgreen dust. Sometimes it’s so thick that the windshield becomes opaque. And don’t forget about all those bricks on campus.

The cracks seem like a nice spring home for pollen to move into every year. Please, pollen, live somewhere else.

Take an extra 10 seconds to pack a few tissues before heading off to class. College doesn’t have those little boxes in every classroom with an endless supply of tissues. Which might be a good thing. I’ll take any tissue I can get, but let’s be honest, I’m pretty sure they were made out of sandpaper. Don’t be that student from Sniff le City whose life goal is to see how long they can go before someone gets annoyed. Trust me, everyone is already annoyed. We all do it sometimes but it’s distracting, it’s frustrating and it’s plain disgusting.

From excessive sneezing to itchy eyes and a sore throat, of course there’s medicine that’ll clear up your allergies. (The pharmacy in the Student Health Center can come

in handy.) But if taking medicine every day doesn’t f loat your boat, there are some other options out there that can help keep the allergies away, according to ABC News.

You probably — at least I hope you probably — shower on a daily basis as it is. But strategically planning when you shower can help improve your allergy symptoms. It’s only a temporary solution, but taking a hot shower can ease up sinuses and clear up your nasal passages. Washing any pollen off your skin or from your hair can prevent it from spreading to things like your clothes and pillowcase. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, or even just a long walk back from class, rinsing off the pollen isn’t a bad idea.

Another option is to take a break from coffee and give tea a try. Green tea contains a compound that inhibits allergic reactions.

Don’t drink too much chamomile, though, for it can cause reactions in people who are allergic to ragweed.

Eating honey can also help you resist the effects of pollen. Bees transfer the pollen from f lowers to honey, so eating a little bit of honey every day can strengthen your immunity. As honey goes well with quite a few breakfast foods, adding a spoonful or two to your most important meal of the day could go a long way.

Simple changes in your daily routine might make your allergy season a little less uncomfortable before opting to pop the allergy pills. Don’t overuse medication if you don’t have to. It won’t help your immune system, and it most certainly won’t help your wallet.

The calendar says we are only a few weeks into spring, meaning there are most likely many sneezes in store for those with seasonal allergies. Just remember that you aren’t sneezing alone, and for all the times you did sneeze alone: bless you.

Thoughts on D.H. Hill O

n walking into D.H. Hill Library, you can feel a studious atmosphere envelop you. It’s the same atmosphere that suffuses lecture halls and research labs: a quiet, smothering blanket of will, set on finishing the Wesley unfinished task at hand. It Coakley Guest Columnist is unwarm, however, unwelcoming. Conversation seems unapproachable in this sterile environment. It is obvious that something ought to give D.H. Hill her livelier, still diligent, atmosphere. This column is where I “think.” I leave off where you ought to “do.”

All good restaurants seem to do one thing in common. Those worth keeping open — the liveliest, busiest, all those filled with the warmest and friendliest crowds — play music. Whether the speakers pump bold opera for the Italian restaurant, light classical for those lofty establishments or American classics for the sports bar, the sound system undoubtedly produces the sort of welcoming air D.H. Hill wants. It is worthwhile to note that the music always suits the atmosphere. This makes sense once I’ve pointed it out, but it is important to always keep it at the front of our minds.

If the family restaurant plays A$AP Rocky, does it stay a family restaurant? Likewise, we would not want to swap our library with a new image; the music we pick must trace the curve of D.H. Hill.

It may be difficult when we first set out to pick a strain of music to play at our beloved library. Certainly taste comes into play — there is no denying that. But one sort of music lends itself best to being played in the smart rooms of D.H. Hill. I will present my plan for the reader, but I suggest building further upon this aesthetic intuition once all points have been considered.

Without doubt, the ground and f irst f loor needs something that is suited for everyone. I suggest grouping these f loors because the sounds may mix, making a cacophonous situation for anyone sitting at the tables that overlook the ground floor by the glass “no-study zone.” I would suggest

that here, in accordance with the accessibility and popularity of these f loors, we welcome students (i.e., those tired souls who only want to pass tomorrow’s test, nothing more and certainly nothing less) with the North Carolina-born John Coltrane. I feel his music will have the most positive reaction, given his intuitive, then-innovative playing style. There is no moment of him that could be contested as putting-off. His melodies play well with the state of mind here, so I reserve him for the lower f loors.

Of course Coltrane is not the only artist to be played here; think of him like a bullseye that we might paint rings around. One such ring may be the Dave Brubeck Quartet, though the ring must keep the above considerations true to heart.

I take it that the music ought to represent the f loor it is played on. Just as Coltrane’s sometimes-busy melodies reflect the sometimes-busy moments of the lower f loors, something ought to capture the essence of the middle f loors, defined as some encapsulation of f loors three through six. Here, the students are different. They must depart Coltrane’s casual air, and search for a more appropriate artist. He, the center of this target, is Charlie “Yardbird” Parker. Not nearly as imminent a name as Coltrane, Bird is suited to the students, as his uptempo bebop really exclaims, “You can do it! I’d bet my tenor that you’ll pass that philosophy exam if you keep it up!” Parker’s optimistic musicianship makes him a natural playmate for the middle f loors.

The upper floors, seven through nine, are a student’s last resort. If you’re willing to scorn the mortal domain for an hour or two to study, then some driving force must be behind it. For this student, neither Bird nor Trane will do. Truly, this is a no-rules zone, with regard to music and scholarship.

For you, I suggest Chris Potter, whose “The Sirens” would serve as a thoughtful piece to complement you, whose good habits will pay off on the final exam.

I trust that the reader will thoughtfully consider my ruminations.

As the weather gets warmer, seeing students poised in front of the Bell Tower dressed in pristine caps and gowns will become more and more freChauncey quent. For me, this time of Bowden Staff Columnist, year means saying goodbye to many of my friends. I Keeping it Real came to NC State in fall 2012, which means that I should be walking across the stage this May — but I won’t.

Changing my major and adding a minor means that my time here will be extended by one extra semester. Coming to grips with the fact that many of the friends who I had come to know and love will be leaving NC State and starting their lives before me was hard to do.

Some of those friends will start careers in new cities; others may stick around, while some choose to return home. Either way, it’s easy to feel like you may be left behind.

The plan is to go away to college, finish in four years and have a job or graduate school plans secured, right?

Not necessarily. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, “The 2013 6-year graduation rate for first-time, full-time undergraduate students who began their pursuit of a bachelor’s degree at a 4-year degree-granting institution in fall 2007 was 59 percent.”

An article written in Time Magazine by Victor Luckerson, titled “The Myth of the Four-Year College Degree,” states that at public institutions, less than a third of students graduate on time. So if graduating in four years isn’t happening, then you may

to another class. Choosing to graduate late can also be hard to do when you’re drowning in due dates, group projects and the enrollment window just won’t seem to cooperate with you.

Why would I ever want to put myself through the misery of dealing with another semester when I could graduate college and start my easy, breezy life as an adult? My time here at NC State is what I make it.

Graduating a semester late, or even a year or two late can mean different things for different people. Haven’t used your grade exclusions? Want to retake a class you bombed your freshman year? These are all potentially possible. In fact, depending on what you’re interested in, adding a minor may also be possible.

Late graduations don’t mean you’re a failure and graduating on time doesn’t guarantee you lifelong success. Optimizing your time and possibilities, however, is always a wise decision.

During William Albright’s tenure as student body president in 1928, students voted to abolish student government. He was able to maintain the organization despite the opposition.

Flashback Feature: historic SBPs of the century Noah Russ Staff Writer

The NC State student body president serves and represents a diverse population with more than 34,000 students. The newest student body president, Paul Nolan, was sworn into office on Monday. Here’s a look back at some of NC State’s most memorable student body presidents.

Averette Gaston Floyd served as the university’s f irst SBP from 1921–22.

Floyd enrolled at NC State in 1917, but was soon drafted to serve in the military during World War I. With t he help of t he Student Council, Floyd established a stable Student Government and ratified the first Code of Student Conduct. Floyd, assisted by a professor, worked to promote awareness of the negative effects cheating would have on NC State and its students.

William Purvis Albright served as president during one of the most turbulent years in Student Government histor y. W hile A lbright was in office from 1928–29, the senior class voted that Student Government be entirely abolished because it was no longer functioning adequately. Albright also dealt with fierce opposition from members of the Student Council who wanted to bring back the gauntlet as a viable form of punishment. A lbright successfully defeated both of these propositions and helped Student Government survive until the next election.

William Brantley Aycock, cousin of former North Carolina Governor Charles Brantley Aycock, was elected the 15th SBP for the 1935–36 school year.

During his term, Aycock actively sought to combat the hazing of underclassmen.

Aycock g raduated f rom NC State in 1936 and went on to complete his master’s degree in history at UNC-Chapel Hill. Aycock served in the Army during World War II and received a Bronze Star, Silver Star and the Legion of Merit.

After completing his military service, Aycock went on to receive a degree in law from UNC-CH, where he eventually became the Kenan Professor of Law.

Following in the footsteps of his cousin Charles Brantley Aycock, who became known as “The Education Governor” for his support of the public school system during his time as governor of North Carolina, Aycock served as the Chancellor of the UNC System from 1957 until 1964. Aycock died June 20, 2015, four months before his 100th birthday.

Hugh Crocker Murrill was elected president in fall 1943 because the original elected president, O. Max Gardner, was drafted to serve during the peak of World War II. As president, Murrill took steps to better organize and streamline the structure of student body governance. Student Government established that each college should have representation from each class in the Student Senate. Murrill also helped to establish the student-operated bookstore.

James Baxter Hunt, Jr., known as Jim Hunt, served two consecutive terms as SBP from 1957 until 1959.

Hunt was the second nonsenior to hold the office, and the second to hold the off ice for two terms. As president, Hunt ensured that all students were able to park their cars on campus.

He also tried to promote a good relationship between local Raleigh media and the university. Hunt graduated with a Bachelor of Science in agricultural education in 1959 and with a master’s degree in agricultural economics in 1962. He went on to obtain a law degree from UNC-CH in 1964, and later began a career in politics.

Hunt served as the lieutenant governor of North Carolina from 1973 until 1977 and as governor from 1977 until 1985. Hunt was the first North Carolina governor to be elected for four terms, serving as governor again from 1993 until 2001.

As a politician, Hunt left a legacy of supporting education and equality and is the namesake of Hunt Library on Centennial Campus.

Cathy Sterling was the first female elected SBP, a position she held during the 1970 –71 school year after completing a successful write-in campaign. Her platform included increasing the administration’s recognition of students’

Kevin Dwan Howell was elected as the f irst African-American SBP for the 1987–88 school year. Howell tried to promote student involvement on campus and was active in many student or g a n i z at ion s h i m s e l f .

Howell also sought to reduce racial discrimination on campus. He encouraged

the administration to seek solutions for the low graduation rates of minorities and strongly opposed discriminatory discipline that occurred within the athletic department. Howell also help organize a successful book donation program with the University of the Philippines. Howell now serves as the assistant to the chancellor for external affairs.

Nolan, NC State’s newest student body president, ran on a platform of diversity and cultural competency, promising to begin a faculty-student mentorship program and begin training student body officers on diversity. He has helped to modernize the SG webpage and will also seek to create an all-encompassing NC State app.

Dean Danowitz strives to make education more accessible Randy Jaouhari Correspondent

Mary Ann Danowitz arrived at NC State three and a half years ago as a department head of the Department of Educational Leadership, Policy and Adult and Higher Education. Since then, she has moved up the ranks and will officially be appointed the dean of the College of Education on Friday.

Danowitz was asked to step in as interim dean in July after former Dean Jay ne F leener chose to leave the position to return to the faculty. As interim dean, Danowitz said she hoped to make the College of Education have a more significant leadership role within the state.

“We worked w it h t he faculty and staff to redefine our vision,” Danowitz said. “Now we’re on board to focus on how we can improve educational success throughout the state and close the achievement gap because 25 percent of the kids in North Carolina are living in poverty, and that really closes out opportunities.”

Danowitz said her goal as dean is to broaden education within North Carolina to help all students achieve higher education, no matter their financial background.

Currently, Danowitz has faculty working in 33 counties in the state developing programs to assist students, such as e-mentoring.

The College of Education has achieved several accomplishments during Da now it z’s t i me a s i nterim dean. The 2015 Annual Report shows that NC State’s College of Education is ranked first in the production of STEM teachers

Mary Ann Danowitz will officially be appointed the dean of the College of Education on Friday. She was asked to step in as interim dean in July after former Dean Jayne Fleener chose to leave the position to return to the faculty. Danowitz said her goal as dean is to broaden education within North Carolina to help all students achieve higher education, no matter their financial background.

“Now we’re on board to focus on how we can improve educational success throughout the state and close the achievement gap.”

— Mary Ann Danowitz, interim dean of College of Education

in North Carolina. Other achievements show t hat 100 percent of elementary education graduates from NC State passed the new licensing exams, and the College of Education is in the top three colleges for grant dollars awarded per faculty member.

“We have one of the most effective programs to pre-

pare principals in the United States, and we’re working in high poverty areas in the Northeast to do that,” Danowitz said.

Da now it z is current ly working on the first action summit next month, which will bring together about 400 community political leaders in education to discuss how education can help

deal with the poverty epidemic in the United States.

The summit will also allow NC State to build partnerships to tackle educational problems within the nation. “[The summit] is something that I think is really important for NC State, as a land-grant university, to lead those efforts in North Carolina,” Danowitz said.

“And that’s what I’m committed to and have been working with the college to do.”

Danowitz said one of the most important issues within the educational system of North Carolina today is increasing teacher pay.

“One of the highest priorities for the College of Education will be endowed

professorships,” Danowitz said. “Where you have additional funds, which are above the state salary, that allow them to do research, to hire students and to have more funds for their own use.”

Another hope that Danowitz said she has for the College of Education is to f inish developing a new one-year prog ra m for a master’s in art of teaching.

This program will be available for people who have a degree in a discipline, but not in education specifically.

“This will be an intensive 12-month program to prepare people to work with technolog y and to work in high-poverty schools,”

Danowitz said. “And it will have an emphasis in the STEM areas and in literacy.”

Moreover, Danowitz said the College of Education hopes to work with schools and community colleges to create a seamless pipeline so students in poorer areas, especially the Northeast, can have stronger school experiences.

Danowitz said she looks forward to working with the College of Education to improve the educational system and to give all students a chance for success not only within North Carolina, but the United States as a whole.

At 6-feet-8-inches and 230 pounds, Warren often surprises viewers with the number of f loaters he converts, seeing as the f loater is seen to be more of

other big men on the roster, BeeJay Anya and Lennard Freeman, primarily play center and rarely play more than 30 minutes in a given game.

Abu was also the second-leading scorer on the team this season and the only true offensive threat from the low post, with Anya and Freeman combining for just 7.9 points per game compared to Abu’s 12.9. There would still be time for Gottfried to find a graduate transfer to replace Abu, but this late in the year it

would be tough to find a player of a similar caliber.

After running just seven players deep in the 2015-16 season, Gottfried is used to working with a short rotation, and the departure of the Martins will give him more practice next season. The loss of the twins’ versatility will hurt, but as long as Abu returns, the program will by no means be in dire shape and should return to NCAA Tournament contention with the progression of its younger players.

a little man shot. His midrange game is also solid all around, which makes him stand out in the Steph Curr y-led 3-point shooting league we watch today.

The Suns show some promise moving into next season. Booker has improved throughout the year and is now playing at high level. Booker is averaging 13.3 points and 2.5 assists on the season. Also, beause the Suns’

record is so abysmal, they will no doubt have a high pick in the upcoming draft. With Warren returning to pick up where he left off, Booker most likely improving in his sophomore season and the addition of a high first-round draft pick, the Suns will be a young team loaded with talent and potential.

the injured Ryan Miller, and posted a .921 save percentage, 2.45 goals against average and 18 wins in 41 games played (35 starts).

Lack signed a two-year contract extension at the beginning of the season that kicks in next year and pays the netminder $2.5 million next season and $3 million in 2017-18, meaning he is the only NHL-caliber goaltender, signed past this season, that the Canes have on the roster.

Despite his subpar play this season, that is obviously a much more salary-capfriendly contract than Ward’s (or what Ward would likely demand in a new contract); especially if he can rediscover his play he showed when in Vancouver.

If Francis chooses not to re-sign Ward, or the two sides can’t come to an agreement on a deal, the most likely option is to make a trade to acquire a second NHL goalie to team up with Lack.

Whether a trade would be for an elite goaltender to be the No. 1 goalie, or one of lesser quality to serve as a backup to Lack, depends on how much faith Francis has in Lack’s ability to consistently

play at the high level he showed with the Canucks.

With the plethora of draft picks the Canes currently have—seven selections in the first three rounds of the 2016 NHL Draft (two firsts, two seconds, three thirds) and six selections in the first three rounds of the 2017 NHL Draft (one first, two seconds, three thirds)—management should be able to package some of them, and perhaps some prospects, to make a trade for a quality netminder.

If management doesn’t re-sign Ward, and doesn’t trade for a second goalie, the final, less likely option is to call up a goalie from the minors. While the smaller salary of an entry-level contract would save plenty of cap space, you very rarely see a young goalie find consistent success early on in his career.

In less than two full years as the general manager, Francis has made some great organizational moves to put the Hurricanes in the best position to succeed, with the most talent they’ve had, in more than half a decade. Whatever he decides to do, he has earned the trust of fans, and I fully expect whatever moves he does or doesn’t make will help the organization, just as they already have.

Correspondent

With the recent announcement of sophomore forwards Caleb and Cody Martin’s decision to transfer from NC State, as well as the loss of junior guard Cat Barber to the NBA draft, the men’s basketball roster is slimming down, and it could get even shorter if sophomore forward Abdul-Malik Abu makes the leap to the NBA as well.

Even if Abu remains with the program, as is expected given his absence from any notable draft board, the roster is slated to have just eight scholarship players for the 2016-17 season. Coming off the team’s first season missing the NCAA Tournament in head coach Mark Gottfried’s five-year tenure, this isn’t a particularly encouraging fact.

However, success as a basketball team goes far beyond the depth of your rotation, so we’ll have to look at the individual contributions of these players to truly assess how their departures will affect the team’s production.

The loss of Barber is difficult to quantify because he contributed so much on each offensive and defensive possession, rarely if ever coming off the court during the course of a game. Gottfried is fortunate to have the nation’s top point guard recruit, Dennis Smith Jr., waiting in the wings to replace the ACC’s top scorer,

but he’ll be careful not to expect too much out of the freshman, regardless of his domination at the high school level.

Sophomore guard Torin Dorn, who had to sit out the 2015-16 season due to NCA A transfer rules, is also capable of running the point, which will ease the workload on Smith so that he can focus on directing the offense without worrying about conserving enough energy to play the 38.7 minutes per game that Barber did.

The Martin twins provided much-needed versatility to the Wolfpack’s short rotation this season, playing anywhere from point guard to power forward, and for that they will certainly be missed. Expect much less small-ball next season, which was Gottfried’s lineup of choice down the stretch when forward Lennard Freeman was limited due to injury.

Both Cody and Caleb provided intense defensive pressure, rank ing f irst and second on

the team in steal rate, but each added something unique when he was in the game. Caleb was the Pack’s most potent 3-point shooter (36.1 percent on 219 attempts), while Cody had a knack for crashing the offensive glass and also ranked second to Barber in assists.

COMMENTARY

Hurricanes to weigh goalie options over offseason There’s no denying the Carolina Hurricanes surpassed league-wide expectations this season, not just in their play, but in the impresDavid Kehrli sive young talent they Staff Writer have, both up front and on the backend.

Yet, arguably one of the team’s biggest issues this year has been subpar goaltending, something that the front office must address in the offseason if Carolina hopes to make the playoffs in 2017, for the first time since 2009.

The first major decision is what to do with Cam Ward, the lone remaining member of the organization’s 2006 Stanley Cup Championship team.

Ward stepped into the starting goalie role in the biggest of situations — with the Canes down two games to zero in the opening round series against the Montreal Canadiens —

and never relinquished the starting job.

Ward won the Conn Smythe trophy (playoffs MVP), becoming the first rookie goaltender since Ron Hextall in 1987 to win the award. Despite his success in those playoffs, Ward has failed, in the past few seasons, to consistently live up to his contract extension that began in 2010 and pays an annual average of $6.3 million — making him the sixth highest-paid goalie in the NHL. Ward’s numbers, up to this point in the season, are not something that would suggest he is one of the league’s highest-paid goalies. In 48 games played, he has a .909 save percentage, a 2.39 goals against average and 21 wins.

None of those numbers currently rank in the top 19 of NHL goalies this season.

In Ward’s defense, he has played much better since the beginning of December than the cumulative season statistics suggest.

Now, Ward is in the final year of a six-year, $37.8 million contract, making him an unrestricted free agent in the offseason and leaving general manager Ron Francis to decide whether or not to re-sign him.

With his history of injuries and the aforementioned inconsistent play, if Francis does decide to re-sign him, it will almost certainly be at a smaller dollar amount and shorter term than his current contract.

The Hurricanes’ other goalie is 28-year-old Eddie Lack, who has also struggled, posting numbers worse than Ward’s (.906 save percentage, 2.70 goals against average, 12 wins) in his first season in Carolina.

Similar to Ward, he has played excellent hockey in his career. In the 2014-15 season Lack stepped in as the Vancouver Canucks’ starter for

Former ACC Player of the Year and NC State star T.J. Warren hopes to return to the court next season and pick up right where he left off.

Wa r ren ha s been sitting on the Phoenix Suns’ bench for the majority of his sophomore NBA season due to a broken right foot.

With a record of 20-54, it’s fair to say that the Suns are struggling this year. They have the third-worst record in the league behind the Los Angeles Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers, and their only bright spot is rookie guard Devin Booker out of Kentucky.

The Suns, who are often beat by double-digits, certainly miss Warren’s scoring ability. Drafted 14th in the 2014 NBA Draft, a lottery pick, Warren was expected to display this ability just as well as he did in college.

During his sophomore campaign at NC State, Warren averaged 24.9 points and 7.1 rebounds per game while also leading the entire ACC in field goal percentage, shooting 52.5 percent from the field (minimum five FG per game). He set his college career-high at 42 points in a game against Boston College. These numbers landed him the nickname “Tony Buckets” in college and had announcers for the Suns referring to him as “Scorin’ Warren” during his rookie season.

Warren began showing his knack for scoring to the NBA while play ing with the Suns’ summer league team. The summer league experience wasn’t new to
