NC abortion ban knocked down by federal judge
NEWS
A North Carolina law that bans women from having an abortion past the 20th week of their pregnancies with the exception of a medical emergency has been declared unconstitutional by a federal judge. After amendments made to the bill in 2015 stated abortions were only allowable if the mother faces death or irreversible harm, many advocacy groups joined together to file a lawsuit in 2016. According to the ruling by U.S. District Judge William Osteen in Greensboro, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush, the legislation does not comply with Supreme Court precedent. State legislators now have 60 days to either appeal Judge Osteen’s ruling or to amend the restrictions before his ruling takes effect.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding North Carolina’s districts drawn to benefit a majority of Republican candidates in races for U.S. House seats. According to The News & Observer, the maps umder debate were used for the 2016 and 2018 election after the map created in 2011 was declared unconstitutional. During the hearing of the case, Rucho v. Common Cause, justices appeared divided on the issue, according to The Duke Chronicle, particularly the newest justice, Brett Kavanaugh. North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, even recently co-wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post saying that voters have been disenfranchised by the maps created and called for the Supreme Court to end gerrymandering. The Supreme Court will render a decision in the summer.

Behind the scenes: Creating course catalog Amber Detwiler Staff Writer
With enrollment for the fall 2019 term beginning on Wednesday, many students are utilizing tools such as the NC State course catalog in hopes of creating their dream schedules. However, few students are aware of the behind-thescenes process in creating, maintaining and updating the course catalog. Kyle Pysher, assistant registrar for scheduling, explained how students can best utilize this resource to create their desired schedules. “The course catalog contains all the information about courses on campus, from how many credit hours they are worth to the course description to when they’re offered,” Pysher said. “There’s a public-facing version that students can use to plan schedules, to know when courses are generally offered, what they are about and
how they may fit into their degree program… If students need to research the courses that are listed on their [degree] audit, the course catalog is a great place to do that.” Jessica Bronchick, assistant registrar for communication, also plays a role in creating the undergraduate catalog, which is a snapshot of all courses available for the given academic year. “There are two public-facing course catalogs,” Bronchick said. “There’s the one that’s searchable, so students can see in real time all of the class information, so anything about a course that is available in MyPack in the student enrollment system. There’s also the undergraduate catalog website, which is also public, but that is not updated in real time.” Pysher said that students with additional questions about course content can reach out

Despite rumors, fibers program to remain in College of Design FALSE ADVERTISING CONCERNS ARISE for the upcoming semester, students in the College of Design program were blindsided when t hey not iced there was no fibers studio being offered for the fall term. This caused many students to worry that the fibers program was being cut from the College of Design. However, in a meeting held for College of Design students on March 21 with GRAPHIC BY ANNA LEE/TECHNICIAN Pamela Jennings, a professor and head of the Department of Art + Design, she Rachael Davis confirmed that the fibers program is not beAssistant News Editor ing cut; the fibers studio is just not going to be On March 13, while many students were ex- offered for fall 2019. Evan Smith, a third-year studying art and citedly adding potential classes to their carts
design, said that the issue began to unfold when students began to put classes in their registration cart for the upcoming semester. “[Students] emailed [professors] to ask when the studio was getting posted, because some of the time, classes don’t get posted in a reasonable time,” Smith said in the meeting. “That’s when [a professor] told us it wasn’t happening.” Smith’s enrollment date has now passed. He said that his graduation has been complicated by the lack of communication between students and professors in relation to the studio class. “I’m supposed to graduate in the spring, and I wasn’t informed [about the studio],” Smith said in the meeting. “We [students] don’t need to know everything, but it was a little upsetting to be put in a position where I had no idea about my future.” In the meeting, Jennings suggested that students who will not have a studio for next semester should take elective courses instead. However, many students, like Morgan Cardwell, a second-year studying art and design, took issue with this solution, stating that most have already fulfilled their elective requirements. “[Electives] are not really a substitute for studio, because studios are 6 credit hours a semes-
ter; we’re there for at least 12 hours of class time a week, probably 20 hours of free time being used for free time and projects,” Cardwell said. “An elective, a 3-hour class where you work on a project, isn’t really an adequate substitute… because it’s not like studio, where you are really forced to focus on innovation. We are in studio-based majors. Electives are there to teach you new techniques; this is not an adequate substitute. It will not fill up the curriculum.” In addition, Cardwell recognized the lack of resources and faculty in their department, as well as issues with how the two different concentrations, fashion and fibers or animation, in art and design are advertised to students. “In my studio, the two suggested concentrations [are] either fashion and fibers or animation,” Cardwell said. “I started to realize this whole semester, every project we did in the joint studio was animation related. The one project that was planned for [fibers], which was constructing different backpacks and bags, they switched out with another illustration, animation project, and that’s when we realized there really was no resources available, and we started to really panic.” Jennings also mentioned that students in Art

Study Abroad program in Prague increases NC State’s presence overseas Abbies Davies Correspondent
The NC State European Center in Prague is presently NC State’s only official university presence outside of the United States. With three stories of building space located in the center of Prague, NC State Prague is an attractive option for many students when considering their Study Abroad options. This year, NC State has experienced the largest increase in Study Abroad participation of NC State’s history, with an increase of attendance by 16 percent, according to Study Abroad’s 2017-18 Year in Review report. The Czech Republic also tops the list of “Top 10 Countries by Student Enrollment” with 231 students. Heidi Hobbs, transition director of the European Center in Prague, gave some background on the history of NC State Prague and why it is the only overseas center that carries NC State’s name. “NC State has had a presence in Prague since the mid-1990s,” Hobbs said. “We founded the Prague institute in 2005, and it was associated with the College of Design. In 2017, we became part of the larger university and now are a unit of the Office of Global Engagement. As such, we have opened up a lot of programming that was traditionally design-based to students

+ Design do not officially declare a concentration within the department, despite how it may have been advertised to students that they could focus on either animation or fibers. “There is nothing on your degree that says you have a bachelor’s in art and design in ‘blah blah blah,’” Jennings said in the meeting. “It may be what you came here for, but that’s not what your degree says.” In response to Jennings, Cardwell said sees the inability to declare a concentration within art and design as an issue. According to Cardwell, the fashion and fibers animation programs have been advertised as two distinct programs from day one. “It is [how it] is advertised,” Cardwell said. “Students in the past and what I have been putting in my resume is ‘art and design with a concentration in fashion and fibers,’ because they are two very distinct
from all majors.” Since 2017, NC State Prague has worked to make the facility a viable Study Abroad option for students of all majors and has been successful, as NC State Prague accommodates approximately 200 students in a full calendar year. “In fall, we have a traditional semester program,” Hobbs said. “Primarily in the fall we have a lot of architecture students come because it’s when we do our architecture courses but we also have general ed as well. Spring traditionally was graphic design but again, because we have diversified, there are a broad range of general ed opportunities and then summer is everything, a lot of GEPs. In a full calendar year, fall, spring, and summer, we will serve about 200 students, give or take.” One of the emerging programs offered at the NC State European Center in Prague is Prague Connect, an opportunity for students who are admitted for the spring semester to earn credits in Prague during the preceding. The program, which began in fall 2017, consists of 12 credit hours and runs for 90 days. Depending on the type of program a student wishes to be part of during their time in Prague, prices for the experience range from $3,600-$11,950, with no extra cost to out-ofstate-students. Ariana Milner, a first-year studying fashion
and textile management, was one of 28 students who participated in Prague Connect in fall 2018. Milner spoke about her experiences overseas, including the day-to-day structure of the program. “We had two groups: the A group and the B group,” Milner said. “Throughout the week we would have two or three classes a day from Monday to Thursday. Afterwards, we would go explore, because we had that whole day to ourselves to discover new things, and we had Fridays off. We got to travel on the weekends, because traveling was really cheap.” Aside from her course work, Milner learned how to be more independent during her time
in Prague. “It was like being an adult, honestly,” Milner said. “I learned how to be more independent while I was there, obviously, but it was just like we were literally living on our own and figuring everything out by ourselves for the first semester.” Despite technically attending NC State during the fall, Milner was nervous to join the rest of the NC State community in Raleigh for the spring semester. Ultimately, Milner’s experience in Prague left her wanting more. For students who are interested in the NC State European Center in Prague can visit their website.
programs. They’re so unique in their own ways and not really interchangeable.” According to Cardwell, as students in Art + Design talked to distinct professors and completed distinct projects, everything was advertised as separate. “The most frustrating part of this entire ordeal is that they are trying to backtrack on how it was being advertised to us, which makes it feel like they are trying to trick us in a way, or they were giving us false promises for the education we would be getting,” Cardwell said. In addition, during the meeting, Smith brought up concerns about the program’s budget. He said that he felt the slight cuts made have been an issue and are affecting everyone in the program. Jennings stated that the budget cuts are effective across the entire university. However, some research departments have a different revenue stream to sponsor and pay for studios. “Some of our departments are quite prolific in terms of getting sponsorships and corporate nonprofits to be able to support studios,” Jennings said in the meeting. “The Department
of Art + Design, historically we have not been there. As the new head of the department, I do have a vision and a focus toward doing more of that for our department as well… But unlike graphic design and industrial design that has a lot of sponsored studios, we don’t. There are various different things that come into play beyond state budgets that help different colleges and departments to be able to support what they do.” Sharon Joines, associate dean of the College of Design, explained at the meeting that the college doesn’t know how it’s going to calculate its budget for next year. “They are surprisingly moving targets we’re given,” Joines said in the meeting. “Sometimes we don’t get our budget until September.” In terms of solutions to the issue at hand, Jennings took into account that students next semester may be allowed to do an independent study or have a joint studio with the Wilson College of Textiles, but no official announcement about a plan has been made. However, a verbal confirmation was made by Jennings at the meeting that there would be a fibers studio
in the spring. Looking at long-term solutions, Jennings said that students and faculty are not currently on the same page about the future of the department, and that must change. “The long-term solution finding is within the Department of Art + Design,” Jennings said in the meeting. “How do we start to look at our foci and our mission and our vision to make sure that what we do in this department is a) aptly advertised in places where people see descriptions of the department; b) all students and faculty and staff are on the same page of how we are doing that.” Cardwell said that the entire ordeal has been frustrating because of the sheer lack of communication between students and faculty. “The lack of transparency, especially when we are investing so much of our time and money and future into this program [is frustrating],” Cardwell said. “It is a public school, not a private school, and there’s nothing private about taxpayer dollars, and that lack of transparency is probably very upsetting to the community as well.”

waste on campus,” Cross said. “We also work with other student organizations on campus to educate them as to how they can reduce waste on campus.” Cross explained that the organization is currently hosting a pilot program from paper towel composting in residence halls. “For the paper towel composting project, we are being funded by the Sustainability Fund on campus to do that, where we got a grant of about $1000 to do that project,” Cross said. St. Hill explained that while the Zero Waste Wolves received funding through a sustainability grant to start paper towel composting, the waste management is funded by the university. “The group has been carrying out training halls in the residence halls on campus focusing on residence halls, which have access to composting dumpsters to allow for all paper
towels generated to be taken to composting,” St. Hill said. Cross said that several big waste management projects have been conducted since the inception of the organization, such as hosting sustainability workshops to promote sustainable living among students. “We hosted an event last year where we taught people how to make soap,” Cross said. “This year for Earth Month, we are hosting a ‘Sew to Save the Earth’ workshop to teach people how to sew their own facial reusable cotton rounds out of old T-shirts.” St. Hill explained that the university is working on building its own composting facility. “We have been able to build our own composting facility and are waiting for final permit,” St. Hill said. “Once we have the permit, we can start managing our compost on site, which would be a true closed-loop system. We
are hoping to get it operational within a year.” St. Hill also shed some light on how the campus managed the huge volume of waste that is generated every day. “Our office manages all the recycling; we have our own operations,” St. Hill said. “Recycling goes to two material reclamation facilities (MRFs) in Raleigh. Our landfill is taken to a Wake County landfill, and our compost currently is taken to Brooks Contractor, which is based in Goldston, which is one of the few composting facilities that can handle the type and volume of compost we produce.” According to St. Hill, there are several ways in which students can contribute to waste management on campus. “First and foremost, students must know what is recyclable and what is not,” St. Hill said. “The information can be found on our website. We are also trying to spread the message that recycling is not based on the product itself as much as it is based on what the MRF can recycle. This is a key factor.” St. Hill explained that students can also look at the bins, which provide the majority of information on what is recyclable and what is not. “The most important way in which people can help with waste management is to reduce the waste from the beginning,” St. Hill said. “Recycling cannot solve the waste problems.” According to St. Hill, shredding and recycling drives take place every year and are open to the public. “People can bring materials that they want to get shredded along with other waste items such as TVs, plastic bags, etc. to shredding drives,” St. Hill said. “We do presentations for students, staff and faculty. We work closely with other departments which make sustainability a key, [e.g.] athletics. We work closely with several waste management student groups on campus. But the most important thing is that student interest drives waste management.”
Courses and Curricula, and graduate level courses are approved by the Graduate School. “For fall 2019, department scheduling officers started making their schedules in December,” Pysher said. “They usually have until early February, before it gets released to us to do the room assignments, before students enroll in March… Basically, when [departments] have that scheduling period, they’re working with professors to figure out what time they can teach the course, if they can teach the course, and then working to determine who’s teaching it when.”
Pysher and Bronchick said that from like term to like term (fall to fall, spring to spring), courses offered are generally similar. However, they said that new courses are being added constantly. “In terms of the public catalog, our department is working very closely with the Office of Undergraduate Courses and Curricula,” Bronchick said. “We’re working really closely with them to update the public catalog website… really making that more accessible to students and prospective students.” Bronchick said that the Office of Undergrad-
uate Courses and Curricula is also working on improving the course approval process and the program approval process which would make it easier for faculty and department heads to add and edit courses. “Scheduling is a very difficult process that is more complicated than most people probably assume,” Pysher said. “The ultimate goal is to create a schedule that works for students.” To learn more about how to utilize the NC State course catalog and other tools such as degree audit and enrollment wizard, students can visit the Student Services Center website.

In the interest of sustainability, NC State and student clubs have created initiatives to encourage a culture of waste reduction around campus. NC State is currently in the middle of a fiveyear sustainability plan (2017-2022) to engage the campus community in creating a more sustainable future. This plan contains several sub-goals that collectively bring awareness to this cause. According to Milannee St. Hill, the outreach coordinator for the Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling, the university views waste as a potential loss of resources. “Our department is tasked with managing the waste in a responsible way,” St. Hill said. “We have recycling bins everywhere, and the bins are paired. We try to make them as easy as possible and maintain the same standard across the campus, which makes it easy for students to understand.” St. Hill said that composting is another huge program on campus. “Our dining halls have been composting back-of-house since 2010,” St. Hill said. “Since 2014-15 we have been expanding composting across campus through development of pizza box composting dumpsters in our residence halls, as pizza boxes cannot be recycled. Students have started initiating and implementing in-room composting in the residence halls.” Zero Waste Wolves is a student organization that works on waste management on campus. Kaley Cross, the vice president of Zero Waste Wolves, said that the club started about 18 months ago to work on waste reduction and zero waste education on campus. “The purpose of the Zero Waste Wolves is to work with campus partners like the waste reduction and recycling office, Talley Student Union, libraries, etc. to find ways to reduce

There has always been a college admissions scandal The recent college admissions scandal has created a sizeable amount of public outrage over the lack of fairness in the way wealthy individuals are able to shoehorn their kids Kevin into universities. Public discourse has largely cenMoye Staff Columnist tered around criticizing these particularly outrageous examples of crooked admissions that act as embodiments of our broken system. Someone like Lori Loughlin is merely the tip of the iceberg in the actual problem of education inequality. The recently uncovered college admissions scandal should be condemned; however, there needs to be a much larger discussion on the multitude of systemic ways in which students from privileged backgrounds have advantages in the college admissions process. Inequality in education starts earlier than the college admissions process and often confers profound advantages to privileged families because of that. The gap in education can begin as early as
kindergarten. A study by the Brookings Institute reported that only about 50 percent of children from low-income families can send their children to preschool, while around 76 percent of families from the 80th income percentile send theirs. Already these children that attended preschool have a sizeable advantage over their peers who did not. Children that do not attend preschool are often reported by teachers to have trouble paying attention in class and exhibit many more behavioral problems than their counterparts. Even when low-income families are able to send their children to preschool, the quality in their education is miles inferior to those from privileged backgrounds. State-funded preschool programs, which are popular options for low-income families, often do not meet the common quality benchmarks related to preschool programs. This theme of disparate qualities is one
that permeates most of public education. The way public school funding is organized causes an inherent disparity in the amount of resources varying school districts have. Public schools are funded by property taxes, which are based on the values of local properties. Naturally, areas with more affluent populations will have higher property values. As a result of this, t he s e s c ho ol systems are able to generate much more revenue, translating to better resources and improved education. By the time these children reach the age where they begin applying to colleges, the compounded effects of years of education inequality become almost insurmountable. One of the key gatekeepers for college admissions, standardized testing, acts as a clear example of another way income inequality manifests into admissions inequality. The Wall Street Journal assessed that children from families mak-

ing $200,000 or more a year scored an average of 300 points higher on their SATs than families making $20,000 - $40,000 per year. When looking at student performance based on the national average, the discrepancy becomes even more apparent. Students from families making less than $60,000 performed worse than the national average on the SAT. Children from families in the $20,000-$40,000 income bracket scored about 6 percent lower than the national average for SATs. On the opposite end of the spectrum, children from families with an income of $200,000 or more scored about 15 percent higher on the SAT than the national average. It is easy to cast stones at the Loughlins of the world, who use their extravagant wealth to hand their undeserving children spots at universities they did not earn, but it is far more important for us to attack the system that breeds this type of inequality. If we really want a more equitable college admissions system, then we must first bring equal opportunities to students in their education that leads up to them entering the application cycle.
Our generation must stop rampant waste production Ever hear of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? It’s every bit as big and depressing as it sounds, and maybe even worse. It’s a massive, country-sized f loating island of trash, Colin mainly plastic, floating out in the Pacific Ocean. It’s McKnight Staff Columnist intimidating, it’s hard to actually clean up because of the amount of microscopic plastic and there are several other patches as well. Unfortunately, this is just one story of many demonstrating what current practices are doing to the Earth. I’ve already written multiple columns about the destruction of nature and the changing planet, and it
would be very easy for me to do that again. But I want to focus specifically on smartly taking and disposing of the resources that society needs. We need to learn what and when to take from the environment around us if we want to have any hope of preserving life on Earth. The actions of big corporations causing damage to the environment and disturbing communities isn’t new. If you want a feel-bad reality check for the day, read up on what Laura Parker with National Geographic wrote about worldwide plastic consumption: Over 6 billion tons of plastic have gone to waste since its invention, probably never to be recycled. Of this, over 40 percent is used just once before being tossed. Consequently, it’s good to see NC State
striving to reduce waste and promote greener activities, as seen on its website. Students here have the advantage of ready access to composting bins and compostable packaging, which both help cut down on waste. That said, these resources are only effective if students take advantage of them and try to compost or recycle acceptable items. On a society-wide scale, there are other things that we can do. We can start reusing items as much as possible and recycling everything we can. Those are the obvious ones, but we need to stop turning a blind eye when companies like Nestle drain millions of gallons of water from California forests or when an oil company spills drums upon drums of crude oil into our oceans.
We have the right to protest and vote for regulations against these actions, as well as the ability to choose how to spend our money, and we can exercise these to at least attempt to create repercussions for these companies that usually succeed in dodging them. Some will pass this off as impossible: The population is ever-growing, so humanity’s got to keep taking to survive and thrive. But there are ways to minimize the impact we have on the environment so that we don’t leave our kids and grandkids with an unlivable planet. Brazil is a prime example of this.

There’s no excuse for NC State’s irresponsible investment strategies Last week, Technician broke the news that NC State’s endowment is $43 million deep in fossil fuel holdings. That means our university sponsors companies that actively promote Meredith dangerous levels of climate Bain denial in our political leadGuest Columnist ership, emit the lion’s share of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, and commit sickening environmental injustices that threaten our nation’s public health. And this is only one of many ghastly industries that our endowment may support — numbers on private prisons, weapons development and other socially destructive investments have yet to be released. NC State has the power to move our endowment towards an environmentally and socially responsible framework that could avoid these investments; however, financial leaders at our university are held back by pervasive myths about responsible investing in general and fossil fuel divestment in particular. As a student who has been talking a lot about fossil fuel divestment this year, I would like to offer some basic facts to counter these falsehoods. Whenever one brings attention to the darker side of the endowment, NC State’s financial leaders are quick to note the $50 million Park Scholarships fund, which is invested within a forward-thinking, socially responsible framework. We applaud the university on taking the first step towards ethical investment with the Park fund. But why limit this strategy to less than 5 percent of the entire endowment? It’s time to expand our university’s commitment to responsible investing. According to Bloomberg, the sustain-
ably invested Park fund consistently outperforms the traditional endowment. This is no fluke. Without screening for environmental and social risk factors when considering investments, the university’s endowment is blind to the risks that affect holdings in unsavory industries. Remember how Facebook’s stocks tanked after it was revealed that they handled personal data unethically? A responsible investment strategy precludes such losses by screening the questionable social practices of a company. This is why our responsible endowment is outperforming our main portfolio: it’s smarter. Another popular refrain from NC State’s financial leadership is that we shouldn’t change our investment strategies for these funds, because many students depend on endowment money for access to higher education. However, feeding money into a volatile fund isn’t good for anyone. According to annual reports from the managers of our endowment, in 2016 the fund contracted by 2 percent, largely due to the contraction of 10 percent in the “Energy and Natural Resources” sector. Again, a socially responsible investment framework would have precluded this loss. Eliminating risky investments is a good way to get our portfolio to provide a stable source of revenue for students who depend on it. Finally, our financial leadership delegates blame for unethical investments to the UNC Management Company, which, according to the Vice Chancellor for Finance, invests 87 percent of NC State’s endowment. However, there are two ways NC State can work within the existing framework to achieve an ethical, smarter endowment. First, they can use their influence with the UNC Management Company to push for that organization’s commitment to the UN’s Principles

it’ll take a massive shift in society to protect these resources. I have hopes for the future: It seems that our generation is really starting to force the rest of the world to notice what is actually happening. However, big industries still dominate control of natural resources and land usage. If we continue calling out what we see, then companies and governments may have a chance of being held responsible for their polluting actions. But when we inherit the industries one day, we need to make sure to turn everything around, because we may be looking at catastrophe otherwise.

tion in the country: BBC reported last year that Brazilian deforestation had reached a ten-year peak, logging almost 8,000 square kilometers. But efforts are being made to reduce this destruction, however small. As an environmental research organization reported, Brazil is working with smarter land usage and tougher enforcement of regulations to limit mass deforestation. Unfortunately, many industries, like the logging industry, are very lucrative and powerful, so
of Responsible Investing. This would be a huge step towards ethical investing and transparency across the entire 17-school UNC System. Secondly, there is still endowment money that is under the control of the university. If 87 percent is managed by UNC Management Company and 5 percent belongs to the Park fund, that leaves another 8 percent of the endowment — around $100 million — within NC State’s control. Expanding our responsible investment strategies should start with this money. In particular, we would love to see the financial leadership of this university commit to the following realistic steps: 1. Invest as much of the endowment as possible in the sustainable model exempli-
fied by the Park endowment; 2. Push the UNC Management Company to sign on to the UN’s Principles of Responsible Investment; and 3. Create an advisory board of faculty, staff, alumni and students to provide input on the environmental, social and governance framework for the university’s sustainable investments. Our top administrators have the opportunity to move our endowment in a smarter and less destructive direction. I look forward to the day when NC State’s financial leadership steps up to that challenge.

Men’s club basketball eyeing a victory at nationals

Justin Capoccia Correspondent
The NC State men’s club basketball team has been a well-known intramural team for nearly a decade. Unlike most students who participate in the recreational experience, this particular non-profit organization allows its members, most of whom are former high school basketball athletes, an opportunity to play more competitive opponents. It also gains funding through charitable work, allowing it to travel to locations around the country to compete against other universities. The club is split into two teams: Team Wolf and Team Pack. Despite the age and experience levels amongst the club, both teams are equally distributed among talent. Having more than one team is relatively new and is a way for the club to expand while letting more students who are interested, to join in. Senior John Taylor, an officer of club men’s basketball studying electrical engineering major, is a member of Team Wolf and explained how the split of the clubs works. “We have two teams, and when I say we
have two teams, we are very equal,” Taylor said. “We’ve won tournaments, they’ve won tournaments. We are both evenly matched. So, it’s not like an ‘a’ or ‘b’ team per say.” For the players, the opportunity to play in a competitive club sport is a great outlet that provides a positive experience. “I saw it on Instagram and I knew a couple of guys on the team,” said Team Pack captain Amr Mansour, a s en ior s t ud y i ng business administration. “I saw that it was travel basketball for college and I played all through high school. I figured it was a good way to play competitively while still being in school with it not being more of a chore and being something I could enjoy.” Within the various tournaments, there are regionals and nationals but unlike

university teams, club sports doesn’t rely on the facets of collegiate tournaments based on rankings. All basketball club teams across the country can take part and travel to any showcase they are capable of making despite its win and loss record. Both teams in the club play while also playing against each other but still share the victories. “Yeah, so it’s not l i k e t he NC A A w here you pl ay conference and then conference tournament. We get a bunch of teams in our areas,” Taylor said. “For the most part we play Chapel Hill, Duke, [North Carolina Central], [North Carolina A&T], and Winston-Salem State. We all come to these tournaments and we’ll all play. But there’s no real set tournaments where like, ‘Okay, we need to go to this one to win to get to nationals. Whatever works for us, we plan it and we go for it.”
“Within the various tournaments, there are regionals and nationals but unlike university teams, club sports doesn’t rely on the facets of collegiate tournaments based on rankings”
The new rosters start in the fall. The club played in three tournaments during that period, but the first few of the semester came with a learning curve. The first tournament was hosted at Carmichael Gym, the second at UNC, and another at Wake Forest for Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. The tournament at Wake Forest proved victorious for the club as it won through seven games. The spring has been a working progress but successful nonetheless. NC State hosted another tournament with Team Pack going 17-1, only to have Team Wolf beating Team Pack. It also played a regional at ECU and a tournament in Gainesville, Florida. Nationals is coming up in April for the club and it seems that contentment is present with the players. “Honestly I think if you just take a look at our team, a lot of other teams may judge us on our looks,” Mansour said. “We try to let our play do the talking. We’ve seen teams come in confident and we ended up beating them by double-digit points. We just play basketball and control what we can control. I genuinely believe between both of our teams, I would not be surprised if NC State is national champions by April 14.”

Wolfpack advances to Sweet 16 for second straight year
Emma Sheppard Correspondent
The third-seeded NC State women’s basketball team (28-5) will head to Greensboro on Saturday to take on the second-seeded Iowa Hawkeyes (28-6) in the third round of the NCAA tournament in the Greensboro Coliseum. This will be the second consecutive Sweet 16 appearance for the Wolfpack. The Pack had a big game against the sixthseeded Kentucky Wildcats on Monday, with three players scoring double-doubles, and four finishing with double-digit points. Graduate guard Kiara Leslie shot 9 for 21 from the field and totaled 10 rebounds and 26 points. Freshman center Elissa Cunane continues to impress, going 4 for 10 from the field with 15 rebounds and 13 points. Senior forward DD Rogers chipped in 11 points and 11 rebounds. Continuing to get rebounds will be crucial for the Pack going into its game against the Hawkeyes. The Iowa team as a whole has a field-goal percentage of .520. Senior Megan Gustafson is the leading scorer for the Hawkeyes, averaging 28 points per game on the season with a fieldgoal percentage of .701. Iowa is coming off a win against seventhseeded Missouri, which the Hawkeyes won 68-52. Gustafson went 10 for 15 from the field and totaled 19 rebounds and 22 points, the only double-double for the Hawkeyes. With 19 rebounds, Gustafson single-handedly got more than half of the total number of rebounds for her team. She is now the Big Ten’s all-time leader in career rebounds with a total of 1,438 rebounds. This Sweet 16 appearance will be the 13th in program history for the Wolfpack, and it will be the first time the Pack has made it two consecutive years in a row since 1990 and 1991. The game will tip-off at 11:30 a.m. in the Greensboro Coliseum.

Pro day, Doeren’s five-year extension marks of Wolfpack’s growth Andrew Schnittker Sports Editor
NC State football’s pro day was a marquee event for the second year in a row. As the Wolfpack’s NFL hopefuls, including but not limited to quarterback Ryan Finley, linebacker Germaine Pratt, receivers Kelvin Harmon and Jakobi Meyers and offensive linemen Garrett Bradbury, Tyler Jones and Terronne Prescod ran through drills Wednesday, Close King Indoor Practice Facility was lined with NFL coaches, scouts and executives. Another ever-present figure at Pro Day was NC State head coach Dave Doeren. The Pack’s lead architect wandered the facility, speaking with parents and alumni, and watching young men who helped shape his program and he helped shape work out in his team’s facility one last time. “These are really bittersweet days for a coach,” Doeren said. “You’re so proud of these guys. It’s nice to go through graduation with them and then their pro days with them and all that. They’re milestone things for players. It’s fun to be a part of that with them. But at the same time, you’re standing their like ‘Man, I’m going to miss this guy; I’m going to miss this guy.’ It is bittersweet but I’m really hopeful for all of them.” After setting a school record with seven players drafted last season, NC State aims to repeat that feat, as, at the very least, all of the aforementioned players should get picked in April. That’s a mark of the ground-up building project Doeren and his staff have undertaken since he took over as the Pack’s head coach in 2013. NC State went 3-9 that year, and did not win a single ACC game. It’s been a steady

progression since then. Doeren has led NC State to five straight bowl games, and is the first head coach in program history to do so. NC State has won nine games two seasons in a row, won the second most ACC games the past two seasons with 11 and had backto-back recruiting classes ranked in the top 30 by 247Sports.
For the job he’s done growing the program exponentially over six years, Doeren was rewarded with a five-year contract extension that will pay him $3.25 million per season through 2023, the university announced Tuesday. “I’m very thankful and excited. We love it here, family loves it here. We’ve built some-

thing that we’re proud of and want to continue to build and make better. It’s great to recruit in the state and out of the state. “With a five-year contract, I think that really helped us here as a staff,” Doeren said. “I think players really want to be recruited by coaches that aren’t going anywhere. I’ve made that commitment to this university and they’ve made it back to me. It means the world. We call this home. It’s the longest I’ve lived anywhere since I was a child. I love it here. So I’m really thankful for that.” Of the players present Wednesday, many were members of the 2014 class that saw Doeren’s first bowl appearance (and win), including Bradbury, Jones, Pratt, Prescod, defensive end Darian Roseboro and receiver Stephen Louis. The leadership and hard work those players have brought to the program over the years was another building block. “I wouldn’t have anything if it wasn’t for the players that I coach,” Doeren said. “The job you choose is based on your ability to

(11-6, 4-4 ACC) on Sunday. The Pack earned its highest ranking in program history at No. 10 in the Oracle/ITA Division I Rankings. The women have had an impressive run through this part of the season, only dropping three matches and defeating seven nationally ranked opponents along the way. Junior Anna Rogers and freshman Alana Smith, who have been an incredible doubles duo for the Pack this year, swept the ACC Player of the Week honors with Rogers winning Player of the Week and Smith winning Freshman of the Week. The two are currently ranked ninth in the country in doubles. The
duo has a 15-2 record overall on the year and is 6-1 in ACC play. The Wolfpack men (13-7, 4-2 ACC) will be competing at home this weekend with only one match against the Florida State Seminoles (145, 4-2 ACC) on Friday at 5:00 p.m. Both the Pack and Seminoles are coming off wins this past weekend. The Pack defeated the 14th-ranked Notre Dame Irish, a team that Florida State has also defeated this season. Coming into this match, both teams look relatively even on paper in terms of records and teams they have beaten, making for a very good matchup on Friday.
The Pack’s top doubles duo, redshirt senior Michael Ogden and junior Alexis Galarneau took the ACC Doubles Team of the Week honors this week. It was the second time the two took the honor this season, with the first coming on Jan. 29. The pair has a 7-2 record on the season coming off of a perfect week, defeating Wake Forest and Notre Dame opponents. The two have also garnered two ranked wins this season. The women can be followed on the road this weekend on Twitter and the men will be in the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center on Friday at 5:00 p.m.
“I’ve seen a lot of growth from the point where I got here,” Louis said. “That 2014 class that I came in with, I feel like we had a huge impact on this program. Guys like [Bradley Chubb], [B.J. Hill], that whole D-Line. There’s a lot of great leaders. And I think we left a great impact and a great legacy here. There’s a lot of great classes coming in and I feel like they have the blueprint now. Guys like coach [strength coach Dantonio Burnette] and coach Doeren, who are the leaders of this program, are always going to make sure that they know the standard. I think that’s why this program’s always going to be moving forward.” Doeren now embarks on year seven looking to continue taking this program to new heights. He’ll have his work cut out for him in 2019, with four new assistant coaches, a new quarterback and a number of key contribu-
tors on both sides of the ball out the door. While the Wolfpack has continued to improve year after year since that 2013 season, the sights are still set higher. The ultimate goal of an ACC Championship remains, and Doeren now has the security and vote of confidence from a five-year extension to continue building towards that. “You’re always proud to be in a place where
you can see landmarks happening,” Doeren said. “... I want to leave a legacy here and I want to live one too. I feel like we’ve done some good things but we’re not satisfied with what we’ve done yet either. Just like our players will tell you, we always want to raise the bar with where we’re at. That’s what we’re trying to do right now with spring ball is just improve.”
