Hundreds more LimeBikes headed to NC State

EMMA DIMIG/TECHNICIAN

A LimeBike sits outside of Metcalf Residence Hall in the evening of Sept. 3. By using their NC State email address, NC State students and employees can ride LimeBikes at a rate of $0.50 per 30-minute ride.

Kennedy McCutchen Assistant News Editor

Two hundred LimeBikes will be brought to campus in the coming weeks, half of which will include new electric assistance in order to make pedaling easier for riders. After 300 were introduced this past August, LimeBikes have been used by about 14,500 people on campus and have saved over 870 gallons in gas. Currently, NC State students and employees are eligible to receive half off the $1 cost per 30 minutes of use with their NC State email. However, according to Sarah Williams, alternative transportation program manager, the price may go up with the addition of the new electric feature. “Out of the 200 bikes, 100 of them are going to be electric assist, so it’s essentially pedal assist,” Williams said. “When you’re going up a hill, it helps you get up there. I’m not sure what the pricing is going to be on that, but it is going to be probably a little bit more expensive than the regular 50 cents per half hour.” William attributes the LimeBike success to a community eager for cycling. “I think that having LimeBikes on campus has shown that Raleigh really wants to have a bike share,” William said. “It shows that

we are excited about cycling and want to do it more and have more resources to be able to do it.” Williams discussed the convenient benefits that LimeBikes can offer to students. “It can help you get around to class easier,” Williams said. “You can just ride over to class instead of having to walk, which is really nice. If you took a LimeBike over to the grocery store then you’re saving on gas and things like that.” Use of LimeBikes has also been estimated to reduce 17,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions, due to savings in gas. “We’re really passionate about sustainability at NC State, so anything to reduce the amount of cars that are driving around on campus is always going to be beneficial,” said Williams. Samantha Lenger, a first-year studying management and the university brand manager for LimeBike, previously served as a student ambassador for the company after applying through an internship. “I really love the combination between doing marketing and doing it for something sustainable that you believe in,” said Lenger, who lives in the EcoVillage on campus. Lenger, who uses a LimeBike daily to get to class, is responsible for Limebike partnerships, programs and events on campus.

Outside of Owen Residence Hall on Sept. 3, a LimeBike is seen parked among other bicycles. By using their NC State email address, NC State students and employees are able to ride LimeBikes at a rate of $0.50 per 30-minute ride.

“I use them every single day,” Lenger said. “I’ve gotten into the habit of taking them to my classes. It’s really an integral part of my day. They cut my travel time in about a third, and they make it so much easier for someone who’s so busy.” Lenger is also excited for the addition of the electric assist feature, which she says will help her when she moves next semester. “I’m planning to live on Centennial Campus next year and getting up the hill to go to Centennial will make it so much easier,” Lenger said. “And it’ll reduce the traffic so much with public transportation.” Not all students have tried out the green bikes. Grace Barnhill, a first-year studying applied mathematics, has never used a LimeBike, but feels the price is fair if you are looking to get around. “I’ve sometimes thought about [riding a LimeBike], but I’m a really clumsy person so

riding bikes wouldn’t work for me,” Barnhill said. “Maybe for fun, but not for getting around campus.” LimeBikes have not only been used for transportation purposes, but have been frequently placed on top of miscellaneous buildings, including Sullivan Residence Hall, Bragaw Residence Hall and Fountain Dining Hall. “It’s definitely a safety issue,” Williams said. “Not just for the students that are putting them on top of buildings or entries, but also for the LimeBike staff having to get them down, or sometimes the campus police or facilities have to help with that as well. Obviously, we prefer that they stay on the ground, and hopefully they are parked on a bike rack and out of the way.” One hundred bikes are expected to arrive in January, while the additional hundred will be arriving later in February.

Living and Learning Villages offer variety of communities to students

HANNAH SHEA/TECHNICIAN

Members of the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Village learn about living sustainably from Meghan Teten, the EcoVillage director in Lee Hall on Tuesday. Everyone who attended the event ate pizza on reusable plates while learning ways they can incorporate sustainability into their lives.

Georgia Burgess Correspondent

The Living and Learning Villages at NC State give students an enrichment opportunity in on-campus housing that provides students with an environment where they can live and connect with others that share their same interests or experiences. There are 16 different Living and Learning Villages with focuses spanning service, academic, and experiential topics. Chester Miller, director of Living and Learning Initiatives for the Division of Academic and Student Affairs discussed how the Living and Learning Villages can have important benefits for students. “Living and Learning Villages are residential communities designed for students who are interested,” Miller said. “If they

have shared interests, common values to live together, learn together and grow together while they are attending classes here at NC State.” The Living and Learning Villages are a way for students to enhance their time here on campus by providing each resident with a community of like-minded individuals. Karan Malhotra, a third-year studying mechanical engineering, has lived in the Impact Leadership Village for the past two years and currently serves as the president. “Living in a village, you have a second home,” Malhotra said. “You have different experiences that you would have never even hoped of.” Each village organizes various events and programs for the residents throughout the year to encourage interaction between students and to emphasize the central ideas of that village. According to Miller, the vil-

lages offer their residents “high-impact activities, events, and programs that are designed for students to broaden their experiences in the theme of that particular village.” Jenna Nabors, a first-year studying communication, is an active member of the University Scholars Program and lives in the Scholars Village. “My favorite experience with the Scholars Village are the VIA events,” Nabors said. “Because then you get to know a closer community and you also get scholars forum credit for the events you go to.” Village in Action (VIA) groups are small groups organized within the village that encourage interpersonal interaction and allow members to participate in both onand off-campus trips. The villages are made to appeal to a broad array of students who are seeking out ways to grow and learn

beyond their academic classes. “Some are connected to academic colleges,” Miller said. “Some that are sponsored, if you will, by units on campus that are non-academic, and then we have others that are more thematic, and so we provide a wide variety of options for the students to choose from based on their interests.” Additionally, the villages are open to all students. The application to apply to a village for the upcoming fall semester, which is due this coming Friday, is available through MyPack Portal. According to Miller, this is a deadline for students who are not currently in a village. “We have a few of our Living and Learning offerings that accept rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors,” Miller said. The full list of villages with their descriptions is available on NC State University Housing website.

Accomplishments on a resume take precedence over skills A truth that I’ve gradually realized and accepted as I’ve advanced through higher education is that at this stage, especially at an institution the size of NC State, I am in a conRasheed stant state of evaluation. Harding Regardless of my awareStaff Columnist ness of this, nearly every decision I make that remotely involves college in any way is recorded, categorized or graded in some fashion. This, of course, is no surprise or shocking revelation. Integrating that understanding into my lifestyle, however, has proven a different challenge. Maintaining an updated mental rubric of what we’re being evaluated on in every social, academic or professional situation we find ourselves in can be quite draining. Whether it’s the participation standards of a particular course, the etiquette of a career-based event or the harmless interactions with our peers on and off campus, there will always exist society’s aggregated scrutiny of our actions. Part of this notion involves understanding which people need to know which of your attributes, as well as how those people prefer those attributes be communicated to them. Consider the numerous factors that go into writing a solid resume. Often it can seem as if a new consideration or tweak pops up as soon as you’ve finished editing in the last one. Coupled with this is

the fact that everyone has a different idea of the “perfect resume.” I’m not claiming to know what that would look like; the variations are endless. One piece of advice that stood out to me and really put the world beyond college into perspective was the distinction between skills and accomplishments. While there was no confusion on my part about their definitions, I did display a tendency to interchange their importance. In fact, there are plenty of reasons, some obvious and some less so, for prioritizing the inclusion of accomplishments and achievements in a resume instead of a list or summary of “skills.” Without proper demonstration, skills are just subjective descriptions. A person who merely mentions their mathematical skill is much harder to believe than one who actually solves a complex equation on their own. In one scenario, it’s their word against anyone else’s; convincing anyone of their aptitude depends solely on any (subjective) verbal or nonverbal indicators of their sincerity. In the other scenario, a witnessed display of their ability provides all the (objective) proof needed to banish any doubts. Resume writing and reading follows similar logic. A piece of paper or digital document that details an applicant’s academic and professional history should contain, well, their history. History is always being made, so any present or ongoing acquisition of relevant qualifications shouldn’t be left out. My recommenda-

tion is to stick to the indisputable facts that paint a picture of what said applicant can explicitly do. “Who you are” is an interview problem; only then is there an opportunity to establish a rapport and a baseline professional personality. “What you’ve done” establishes your fitness for the job beforehand; employers are investigating and hopefully investing in your abilities, not your textbook personality. One useful sentiment that I’ve come across multiple times has to do with ascribing some quantity to the impact of your accomplishments. “When detailing your career accomplishments,” writes Robin Madell of US News, “avoid being vague. Use exact numbers, dollars and quantities whenever possible.” Accomplishments are even less linguistically vague than a bundle of skills. Describing personal achievements of what was expected in a position and the application of those achievements beyond their contexts diversifies an employer’s understanding of an applicant’s capabilities outside of a list of tasks. In short, accomplishments provide a clear outline of your previous duties and exploits as well as your impact beyond them. “[G]o beyond listing day-to-day tasks and responsibilities,” writes Madeleine Burry of The Balance. “Think bigger: Employers want to know what you’ll accomplish if you’re hired on. Give them a sense of your abilities by putting your achievements — whether it’s overhauling

an inefficient system, saving the company money, or generating sales revenue — on display.” Personal, professional or academic projects are also descriptive indicators of unnamed skills, interests and inclinations. A portfolio of designs, inventions, presentations and physically built models speaks volumes about what you enjoy doing and how well you do it. Of course, listing the conceivably desirable buzzwords and go-to phrases at one’s disposal is convenient and hard to resist. All it takes is both understanding that certain positions require certain skills and recalling specific moments in your life when those “skills” were displayed. An applicant’s memory of a moment when they were “punctual” would ideally suffice in convincing themselves they consistently are so. The problem is that employers cannot read minds. They have no clue if you even believe you are punctual, and even your belief in this description of yourself wouldn’t be proof enough that you possess the actual trait. Overall, accomplishments on a resume kill many birds with one stone. Anyone can state their skills, but outlining relevant personal experiences and achievements can put those skills into perspective. They also give potential employers an idea of your potential qualitative and quantitative value to their organization. As usual, actions speak louder than words.

What people are missing in the free speech debate Shawn Fredericks Correspondent

Free speech on college campuses is a hotly debated topic that gets many people riled — more particularly right-leaning people. Universities, specifically public universities like NC State, are becoming the battleground for the debate, with hard lines being drawn in the sand between partisans.

The problem with this framework, like many partisan issues, is that nuance and contextualization are lost in the debate with only extreme absolutes left as options. A great “Star Wars” quote that I deem to be very fitting in the discussion of principles, especially political ones, is very simple and very enlightening: “Only Sith deal in absolutes.” Granted, the rightleaning side of this partisan issue tends to be more overzealous for my taste in their attempts to “protect” free speech with the promotion

of tolerance and, in my view, normalization of hateful speech. The thing is that both extremes are misunderstanding each other. The right tends to think that “protecting” free speech is the same as accepting hateful ideas. More libertarian views take any criticisms of free speech as the promotion of censorship and hold that there are no distinctions that should be considered in free speech. However, there is a lot of nuance that is lost when these are the only positions

that can be taken with no alternatives being deemed acceptable. My view is this: free speech needs to be a central principle that has to be upheld, but it cannot remain this vague subjective principle that continues to only serve the free speech of the socioeconomically privileged. There is a distinction between equality of speech and the license to say whatever you want.

You get an attorney, and you get an attorney College is a time when young people are perhaps exposed to the highest potential to need legal assistance that they have encountered in their lives. The chances of facing legal trouble are Kevin heightened due to our newMoye found autonomy paired with Staff Columnist the potential to engage in illegal activities such as underage drinking. Fortunately, NC State offers its students free legal counsel through the Student Legal Services. As highlighted in an earlier Technician news article, “Student Legal Services aim to confidentially advise and counsel students on legal matters in order to maintain a safe educational environment.” Perhaps the most appealing part of this claim by SLS is their commitment

SPEECH

continued from page 5

The Greeks had two conceptions of freedom of speech, called “isegoria” and “parrhesia” — equality of speech and the freedom to say whatever you want. The equality of speech in democratic debate allowed every citizen the right to participate in public debate. The freedom to say whatever you want essentially gave citizens a license to say whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, to whomever they wanted. These are two important distinctions to make and to seriously consider when debating free speech. There is a balance that has to be achieved with the principle of free speech that has not been met. Proponents of free speech often are not cognizant that freedom of speech has always protected the privileged. Rights are abstractions that have no power by themselves, they have an intrinsic social and economic relationship, meaning they must be backed by institutional support.

to keeping matters confidential between the student and the attorneys. A student could come to access this free resource without fear of having the information released to family members or even the university. Arguably the most valuable service that SLS provides to students is the wealth of information they give to students through their online pamphlets and legal podcasts. The SLS website gives great information on the landlord/ tenant legal issues that may arise for students. With 59 percent of NC State students living off campus, this information can be invaluable to many students. An equally valuable source of information that Student Legal Services holds on their website is a guide telling students what to do in interactions with the police. Students, such as myself, who have never had any interactions

with police would likely be overwhelmed the first time a police officer stops them. In the “Interacting With a Police Officer” SLS informs students of well-known rights they have from the right to remain silent to perhaps less common information, such as the fact that individuals have the right to leave the situation if they are not under arrest. Student Legal Services can provide invaluable help to international students who are not United States citizens, and who may not have as much information about the U.S. legal system. Because the service only requires its users to be registered as NC State students, all international students should have access to this resource. Even if immediate attorney attention is not needed, these students can still inform themselves on the American legal system through the resources on the SLS

website, or even through advice from one of the attorneys. Student Legal Services could be an even bigger advantage to students at NC State if they employed students looking for a career in law to assist them in day-to-day activities. Many prelaw students at NC State would be honored to have the chance to work for attorneys, especially with their workplace being on campus. Of course, students would not be able to be involved in helping the attorneys deal with student legal issues as this would break the vow of confidentiality; however, student action in less direct capacities could prove to be incredible opportunities for legal-minded students on campus. They would be able to receive great law experience and vocational knowledge, while also easing the workload on the attorneys at Student Legal Services.

America on a macro level has not institutionally supported the free speech of all groups, and this cannot be blamed on simple human nature, leading to oversight, but the result of the marginalization of groups by America. Equality of speech must always be upheld; however, the license to say whatever you want — that “freedom” — must be scrutinized and in more extreme cases criminalized. Fake news, misinformation and tolerance for hate have disastrous consequences. Daniel Altman highlights these consequences in his article “This Is How Every Genocide Begins” in Foreign Policy magazine. “The pamphlets, megaphones, and radio broadcasts came before the pogroms, murders, and forced relocations,” Altman said. This is not me trying to scare people into censorship. What I am highlighting is that freedom to say whatever has dire consequences that cannot be ignored. This is especially true for college campuses, where the next generation of leadership is being groomed, making it very alarming when alt-right groups are using campuses as recruitment grounds and trying

to bring their views from an online space to a physical one. What free speech advocates on this issue must understand is that no one wants to take away the freedom to exchange ideas, even conflicting ones. But considerations have to be made on institutional levels. Government institutions like NC State, which are run like million-dollar corporations in the business of selling education, need to institutionally support marginalized voices that have been excluded from the tools the privileged have always had, like priority given to their voice on campus issues. Marginalized groups should be able to work hard, pay tuition, succeed in their classes and receive the same institutional level of support as the majority. To say there has been no disparity both socially and culturally is asinine. In the wake of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I think it is important to highlight how America has historically failed to criminalize hateful ideas on an institutional level, lest we forget as a nation that America let the South rebel against the Union scot-free and abandon black

southerners back in the 1800s. Also, we cannot forget the internment camps of the 1940s that caged and violated the civil rights of Japanese Americans. We must not forget the attempt at cultural genocide of Native American culture through Indian boarding schools. And, the current Trump administration’s anti-immigration policies and rhetoric toward Hispanics and Haitians have all contributed to an America that does not value marginalized communities and their voices as equal citizens. I want to leave the reader with a quote by Teresa M. Bejan, who inspired this piece with her analysis of the two concepts of free speech in her article “Two concepts of Freedom of Speech” in The Atlantic. “Most of these students do not see themselves as standing against free speech at all. What they care about is the equal right to speech, and equal access to a public forum in which the historically marginalized and excluded can be heard and count equally with the privileged. … When the rights of all become the privilege of a few, neither liberty nor equality can last.”

Sobriety on campus COLLEGIATE RECOVERY COMMUNITY OFFERS SUPPORT, ENCOURAGEMENT

Sarah Gallo

Assistant Arts & Entertainment Editor

Chris Campau was seven years sober when he first applied to NC State. He was rejected, likely due to his past legal issues and a 1.7 GPA during his time at Western Carolina University. Unfortunately, Campau’s story is not uncommon for those who have struggled with a substance abuse disorder. He is hoping to change that. After Campau was rejected from the university, he acted as a nondegree seeking student in the Department of Social Work at NC State, and founded a chapter of the nationwide organization Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC) here at NC State, in order to unite other students who have suffered from addiction. After reapplying to NC State a year later, Campau finally got his much-coveted acceptance letter. While he graduated from the Department of Social Work in 2015, he remains a key inf luencer of the CRC community, acting as the Collegiate Recovery Community Program Coordinator of North Carolina. NC State’s Collegiate Recovery Community acts as a wellrounded support system for students in recovery from alcohol and/or substance abuse. Nontraditional, transfer, nondegree seeking and traditional students alike are welcomed by CRC, but they all share a similar goal: staying sober. Campau explained just how important it is for students in recovery to “find their Wolfpack.” “Universities are high-stress environments, and we know that addictions feed on stress,” Campau said. “[With] alcohol use disorder, and other substance use disorders, once you’re too stressed out to function anymore, substances become a viable option. And for students in recovery, having proper outlets, being able to talk about that stuff, and not just talking about it with another student, but being able to talk about it with a student who understands, having the full support of the campus, saying ‘we know it may be difficult for you at times, how can we support you?’ are all really important aspects of collegiate recovery.’ The sobriety-focused group regularly tables across campus, attends universitysponsored health fairs, as well as larger events like Packapalooza. Another popular tradition CRC implements is tailgating — sober style. This year, the group traveled to Wake Forest for the NC State vs. Wake Forest football game. Campau described why events like these are critical

in fostering a supportive environmentsfor students recovering from substance abuse disorders. “What was really cool about it [the tailgate] was I had met a young lady who, when I first met her, she was six days abstinent from alcohol,” Campau said. “I asked her, ‘what do you want collegiate recovery to do for you?’ and she said, ‘I just want to go to a football game and feel safe, and not feel so tempted to drink.’ So she was able to come with us to the Wake Forest game and enjoy a tailgate.” Jesse Bennett, former president of CRC and graduate of NC State’s Department of Social Work, said being a part of CRC was crucial in navigating the road to recovery alongside those who have been there firsthand. Bennett now works as a Harm Reduction Outreach Worker at the North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition, a statewide organization which works to implement harm reduction interventions, public health strategies, drug policy transformation and justice reform, according to their website. For Bennett, the word

“recovery” represents more than a desire to stay sober. “Recovering a life that I once lost, being able to recover not only the relationships with my family, but building on that and having meaningful relationships with students and peers [is what recovery means to me],” Bennett said. Another highlight of CRC is that it brings together students from all walks of life, who have been through similar struggles, and are working toward a better life for themselves. This is reason enough to unite students who are in recovery from addiction, an idea Bennett further explained. “You might have an 18-year-old who’s in recovery hanging out with nontraditional students in recovery,” said Bennett. “But age doesn’t matter because we’re all working toward the same thing.” Bennett noted that it has been encouraging, and rewarding, watching NC State faculty members support CRC, as well as the friendships that have formed within the organization. For students currently suffering with a

substance abuse disorder, Campau suggested utilizing on-campus resources, specifically the Counseling Center’s substance abuse counselors, because creating a Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) is critical in paving one’s path toward recovery. As a whole, CRC has helped many students who were in situations like Campau’s get accepted into NC State. Now, Campau said the majority of these students have a 3.5 GPA or above, clearly benefiting from the recovery-friendly environment that CRC offers students. This year, the organization plans on doing even more education and advocacy-related events on and around campus. Campau has been ensuring the organization is running smoothly, even after graduating, through effective leadership and organization efforts but mainly by showing students that recovery is possible. And it is worth it. “We, as individuals in recovery, we’ve made some mistakes,” Campau said. “Most of us are willing to be accountable for those, and all we’re really looking for is somebody to take a chance on us.”

From volunteer work in the community to on-campus awareness efforts, the student organization aims to support immigrants in all capacities. Impressively, the group is headed to Texas over spring break to volunteer with the South Texas Family Residential Center, working with a locally based nonprofit that provides legal services to residents. On a local level, the organization will host Sanctuary Everywhere, a public display of solidarity for those in sanctuary, this Saturday at the North Carol i n a St at e Capitol. Carl Hi nt z , a fourthyear studying mathematics and president of Students for Immigrants Rights and Equality, answered a few questions regarding the organization’s efforts. What made you first want to get involved with Students for Immigrants Rights and Equality? I was really concerned about the increased policies that harm immigrants, and I wanted to do

what I could to help more. My dad served in the Peace Corps in Honduras and El Salvador, and that influenced my perspective and my concern for people who’ve had to move from their home countries. What is your mission as an organization? Most recently we’ve been trying to find a way to help people directly. We’ve worked with a woman who was an NC State employee, whose husband is in sanctuary. We’re trying to help out her family, and we’re organizing a public display of support for her and he r f a mily. In the past we’ve done events t hat have involved calling representatives. . . . We ’v e been active with contacting our state representatives, and also have worked with other groups in the area. W hen t here was the solidarity rally we helped out with that some, and we’ve also worked with NC State’s Muslim Student Association. Our main goal is to do work that helps to support immigrants.

President of Students for Immigrants Rights and Equality Carl Hintz, a fourth-year studying mathematics, leads a discussion about the group’s upcoming spring break trip to Texas. Participating members will volunteer at a nonprofit that works to support immigrant rights in Texas. The organization works to support immigrants in any way they can.

How has the current political state affected your work as an organization? Our organization exists in part because a lot of people are concerned, and in the 2016 campaign there was a lot of antiimmigrant rhetoric, and currently there’s an increase in deportations and concern about whether DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, will be continued, but a lot of these issues have been around for a long time. It’s not new. What kind of resources do you provide to immigrants in the Raleigh area? We’re primarily a group of students who are concerned and want to do what we can to help. We’re familiar with the resources in the area. NC State students have access to free legal resources through our school, but we’re a way that people can be involved with volunteering and engaging with their representatives. What are your goals for this semester? This Saturday is the solidarity Sanctuary Everywhere event that we’re organizing. It’s a public display of support for people that are currently in sanctuary. We’re also planning to help organize a phone calling event in support of DACA, which will likely be in early February. We’re hoping to increase our capacity so we’re able to help out families in the area. How can students further support immigrants rights on campus? On campus there’s a lot of organizations students can get involved with. On the political side it can be very impactful to contact representatives about an issue that’s concerning them, because laws can have a huge impact on individuals’ lives. There are ways that someone can help directly by volunteering. There’s many organizations in the area that directly serve the immigrant communities that students can volunteer with. To get involved with Students for Immigrants Rights and Equality, email Carl Hintz at cwhintz@ncsu.edu. The organization is also listed under Student Involvement’s getinvolved webpage, https:// getinvolved.ncsu.edu/organization/Immigrant_Rights.

Maize adds strength to Wolfpack

Kailee Jurnak Correspondent

NC State women’s basketball senior center Akela Maize has come a long way in the past four years. Maize has become a respectable player but she didn’t start with basketball. When asked about why she started basketball, Maize gave a unique response. “Basketball? Well you know I used to be a cheerleader; I used to be a dancer,” Maize said. “I did so much stuff but over the years people [would] tell [me] with my height being 6’5” like, ‘you know, basketball is where most people with your height go.’ So then [I] tried it out like a social thing and your friends play it too and you’re just having fun while you’re doing it. And then along the way you start to love the game and you start to love how the fans react to a 3-point shot or a blocked shot, things like that you feel and you gather energy. So that’s where I chose basketball because in other sports

you don’t really get that [energy]. I like that aspect of that.” That energy from the fans is what helped Maize’s decision to come play at NC State. “The fans are great here,” Maize said. “They’re honestly our sixth man helping us win games with their energy, bringing the energy to help us, uplift us, and that was a big thing when I had come to a State game before I committed [to State]. Just seeing how engaged they were. It was like they were on the team with us. So that was a big reason why I came to State.” And the Wolfpack is glad she chose NC State. This season has been a great year for Maize all-around, with career highs in blocks, shots and rebounds, including a high of 11 total rebounds against Virginia Tech. Two career records against Alabama were managing five blocks and 20 points. Despite the career highs, Maize explains that she just wants to do her best for the team. “I know I was going to have a bigger role,

this being my senior year,” Maize said. “I don’t really think about career highs. It’s a great thing that I have those career highs, but I know as a player and as a leader on the team that I need to step up my game. Having those career highs is a result of that.” Associate head coach Nikki West agreed with Maize stepping up as a role model on the team and explained that Maize isn’t only a reliable player on the court. “Akela is a leader on the court as well as off the court,” West said. “I think she’s doing a very good job of mentoring her teammates and especially the freshmen, making sure that they understand their roles and what we expect, and just making sure everyone is in line. She’s done a great job at doing that.” Personally, Maize takes pride in her defensive contributions to the team, claiming it’s her largest strength towards the team’s efforts. “Definitely defense,” Maize said. “I’m the leading shot blocker on our team. So

I definitely bring that defensive intensity and defensive help. That can lead to quick buckets and transition, which, we’re really good in transition, and we get a lot of energy from transition. So that also helps our game.” West took a different angle though; and praised Maize’s strength in offensive plays. “Akela’s biggest strength I would have to say is being a force on that low block and making people have to respect that and guard us down there,” West said. “She’s given us some more offense because, face it, last year we had a lot of guards who contributed a lot of points. And Akela who has done a good job of picking up that slack and scoring for us on a consistent basis.” Even after all of Maize’s accomplishments and growth this year, she remains humble and level-headed, acknowledging things she wishes to improve upon for the remainder of her last season.

Swimming and Diving look to continue win streaks against UNC Drew McNatton Correspondent

NC State’s swimming and diving team will face off against UNC-Chapel Hill on Friday in Chapel Hill in the men’s sixth dual meet of the season and the women’s eighth. In the CSCAA coaches’ poll the NC State men’s team is ranked No. 3 while UNC is unranked in the men’s poll. As for the women however, NC State ranks No. 14, ahead of UNC’s No. 21 NC State’s men’s team so far this season is undefeated in their five dual meets while UNC sits at 3-4 so far. As for the women, NC State sits at 3-4 and has managed to win just one dual meet on the road this year against Wisconsin. The Tar Heel women are 4-3 in dual meets this season. If looking at top times and scores for each event for these two schools is any indication for how this meet will go, it looks very good for the Wolfpack as it has the better performance in all but two events: the 100-yard breaststroke and the one-meter dive. As for the women, the two schools are very even and it appears to be more of a toss-up, but times on a sheet can be very different than the times these swimmers may post when facing a bitter rival. Key swimmers in this meet for the Wolfpack men could be seniors Ryan Held and Anton Ipsen as well as juniors Justin Ress and Andreas Vazaios. Ress, Held and Ipsen just need to continue on the level they have been and the Pack

“I definitely want to improve more with my field goal percentage,” Maize said. “Making those easy shots around the basket. Things along that matter. Assists, I want to get better in that [too]. And as a team, I want us to get better in talking and communicating. Not having those mental lapses that coach talks about all the time, where we may not remember a play or know a play that could lose a possession. I think along the road we should get better as a team.” Maize has taken some of the constructive criticism from the coaching staff and has

CAIDE WOOTEN/ARCHIVE

Freshman Anton Ipsen competes in the 1,000-yard freestyle during NC State’s meet with rival UNC-Chapel Hill Jan. 31, 2015, at the Casey Aquatic Center. Ipsen finished first in the event with a time of 8:55.70. The No. 8 Wolfpack men’s team remained undefeated, beating the No. 20 Tar Heels 180-118. The No. 12 women’s team just barely missed topping the No. 5 Tar Heel women 146.5-134.5.

should be in good shape, Vazaios, however, is the men’s best shot at winning the 100-yard breaststroke which in a close meet could become a deciding factor. Senior Hannah Moore, sophomore Ky-Lee Perry and freshman Julia Poole are the women’s best chances to get first place, which is the pivotal possession in events. If they can succeed and win at least a race each, they will give the Pack

a very good chance to come away with a victory and reach .500 in dual meets on the season. The Wolfpack men are looking for their fourth-straight victory against the Tar Heels on Friday while the women look for their third. A win at UNC would be very good for the Wolfpack; the men would continue their dominate tear this season as they

have already knocked off defending champion Texas, while the women could bounce back from a tough loss against Virginia and end their four dual meet losing streak dating all the way back to November. A win would roll nicely into the Carolina College Nike Invite meet in early February and the ACC championship meet which beings mid-February.

reaped the benefits from working on them; such as growing stronger and becoming more physical on the court. “She has definitely dedicated herself in the weight room; she has gotten stronger,” West said. “She’s a force in the paint, she blocks shots [and] she scores points for us. She has definitely improved and has been doing a great job. We have five more weeks of regular season, so I hope to continue to see more and more and more from her.” Maize reflects on the dwindling time left in the regular season, marking her last games as a senior. “Wow, only nine games left in the regular season,” Maize said. “Well my thoughts on that is that I better take advantage of it while it lasts. It’s a small amount of games and you never know postseason, how many

games you’re going to get. So making sure I make the best out of all the games and I give 100 percent each time I step on the court.” Following up on that, Maize had some final words of what she wanted to accomplish with her team and what kind of a mark she wanted to leave for the program. “Honestly, I want to do better than we did last year,” Maize said. “I don’t want people to say, ‘hey we only went far last year because we had those four seniors.’ I want it to be, ‘we can do it as a team. We don’t just need those four seniors to take us to the second round.’ I want people to say, ‘hey, as a team and coach Moore being the coach, we went farther than we did with those four seniors.’ That’s the kind of the goal that I have for this team. Hop-

ing we can get to at least a Final Four [or] Sweet 16.” West had heartwarming words for Maize’s efforts towards the program as a player and as a young woman. “I am probably the most excited, impressed and loving it for Akela,” West said. “She has every year gotten better and she’s blossomed. And this is the ideal senior year for her so every accolade she’s received she deserves because she has worked so hard this summer, these past few off seasons to get all of this. I am extremely proud of her and excited for her.” West ended with saying that she hopes Maize will only continue growing. “The sky’s the limit so she’ll be able to do whatever she wants to do when she graduates,” West said.

Women’s Tennis set to open spring season Jason Bacherman Staff Wrtier

NC State women’s tennis will begin its spring season and return to action when it faces UCLA and Kentucky or Northwestern in the ITA Kick Off Weekend in Lexington, Kentucky, this weekend. The event will be the Pack’s first since November, when it squared off against UNLV in the Rebel Invite and sent three of its four singles entrants to the finals. The Wolfpack had a strong fall season and received votes in the first ITA Poll of 2018. NC State is coming off a highly successful 2017 spring season, finishing with a program-best No. 16 ranking in the ITA polls and advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, topping Oregon in the first round but ultimately falling to Georgia. The team received major contributions from the duo of junior Claudia Wiltorkin and sophomore Anna Rogers in the fall. Competing as doubles, the pair advanced to the Round of 16 in the ITA National Fall Championships before narrowly falling to Ole Miss. On the singles side, the Wolfpack will look for junior Amanda Rebol to continue her strong play. After earning 16 wins last

year, she won the Gopher Invitational in the fall while also advancing to the finals of her singles flight at the Rebel Invite. The lone senior on the squad, Taylor Stenta, picked up seven doubles wins in 2017 and, along with Rebol, advanced to the finals of her singles flight at the Rebel Invite. In UCLA, the Pack will be matching up against the No. 17 team in the coun-

try. Last season, the Bruins finished 14-9 overall with a 7-3 conference mark. The team fell to Pepperdine in the second round of the NCAA tournament in 2017. The Bruins are off to a 1-0 start this season after defeating UC Santa Barbara on Jan. 19. Kentucky is currently ranked No. 21 in the country and has already competed in the Miami Spring Invite back on Jan. 18.

Northwestern, along with the Wolfpack, is among the schools that received votes in the initial 2018 ITA poll. The Wolfpack will begin its match against UCLA on Friday, Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. while Northwestern and Kentucky will square off against each other at 10 a.m. the same day. The second day of matches will take place Saturday, Jan. 27, with the Pack facing either Northwestern or Kentucky.

Wrestling looks for another dominating ACC perfomance

Emanuel McGirt Jr Correspondent

Pack wrestling aims for another strong ACC showing. After a dominant showing in its first ACC match against Duke, the NC State wrestling team is looking for continued success in its next matchup against Virginia. The No. 6 Wolfpack is heading into the game a one-loss team. After a loss to No. 3 Oklahoma State, followed by a bounce back win against Duke, NC State should be ready to roll. Last week in the Duke win, some of the NC State standouts were sophomore Tommy Cox, redshirt freshman Tariq Wilson, senior Kevin Jack, redshirt senior Beau Donahue, redshirt freshman Hayden Hidlay and redshirt senior Brian Hamann. Other Pack wrestlers also had good showings. NC State dominated Duke in all phases and finished with a score of 32-6, winning 8 of 10 bouts. Hidlay had the standout performance of the day with a 10-6 defeat of Duke’s Mitch

Finesilver. The Wolfpack now looks to face Virginia in its next matchup on Friday. The Cavaliers will travel to Raleigh for the Pack’s first ACC home match. Coming off a loss to North Carolina last week, Virginia will be looking for a win and the Cavaliers face a challenging matchup with an experienced Wolfpack team. Virginia had a good start against North Carolina but the Tar Heels proved to be too much to handle, defeating the Cavs 24-15. Virginia comes in with a record of 3-6, with its most impressive win coming against a 3-11 Fresno State team. Despite the team’s somewhat disappointing record, it finished seventh out of 24 teams in the Southern Scuffle Tournament in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Jan. 1-2. With only two seniors and 16 freshmen and redshirt freshmen, Virginia has a young but talented team that lacks quality experience. Standout redshirt freshman Louie Hayes and sophomore Jack Mueller lead the way for the Cavaliers in hopes of winning their

and with Virginia’s lack of experience and lack of quality wins, the Pack should dominate the Cavaliers in this ACC showdown.

Women’s basketball aims to continue winning ways Ethan Barry Staff Writer

The NC State women’s basketball team returns to action on Thursday night in Winston-Salem to take on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, looking to extend its three-game winning streak. While the Pack has won three in a row, the Deacons are headed the other direction, having lost four in a row. Wake is 10-10 overall and 2-5 in the ACC. NC State is 15-5 overall and 4-3 in the ACC. Through Jan. 14 (18 games), the Deacs are led by forward Elisa Penna who averages 15.2 points per game and 3.7 rebounds per game. Guard Amber Campbell is the only other player averaging double figures, with 11.4 per game. As a team, the Deacons shoot 26.8 percent from the 3-point line. Guard Ariel Stephenson has taken exactly one-third of the team’s 3-point attempts, but she is only shooting 24.5 percent. She averages 9.9 points per contest. Forward Alex Sharp leads the team with 8.1 rebounds per game and chips in 9.7 points per game. The Pack has won four road games so far this season, and will look to make it five on Thursday night on the strength of defense, rebounding and balanced scoring. The Pack is second in the ACC allowing 56.3 points per game and collecting 43.7 rebounds per game, but ranks first with 28.9 defensive rebounds per game. NC State has four players averaging double figures led by senior forward Chelsea Nelson with 13 points per game. She also leads the team and is third in the ACC with 9.5 rebounds per game. Redshirt junior forward Kiara Leslie scores 11.5 points per game, while senior center Akela Maize adds in 10.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.95 blocks per game. Sophomore guard Aislinn Konig averages 10.1 points per game and is the team’s leading 3-point shooter at 36 percent. Wake Forest is in the bottom half of the ACC, but road wins are always important when it comes to selection time, so this, along with every other favorable road matchup, is an important game for the Pack. The game tips off at 7 p.m. at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Winston-Salem and can be seen on RSN.
