Three endangered red wolf pups born in Durham

OPINION

With less than 300 red wolves alive, a female wolf at the Durham Museum of Life and Science gave birth to a healthy litter of one female and two male pups Saturday. The wolves will remain in their exhibit habitat but will not be out for visitors to see. With the species being so critically endangered, the pups will be monitored by the museum staff regularly as survival is not guaranteed in the first month for the pups.

Students and faculty discuss advice in preparation for study abroad and internships Isaac Bjerkness Assistant News Editor

With classes wrapping up and summer plans quickly approaching, several students at NC State are preparing to spend their summer overseas studying abroad or participating in an internship, job study, co-op or research.

With on-campus resources such as the Career Development Center and Study Abroad Office, students can receive advice and more information on options for students to better enhance their resumes and experience for future careers. Internships are the best way for students to get hands-on learning and work experience.

“I would recommend internships for students because, nowadays, employers not only look at grades as a factor, but they are also looking at students who have experience,” said D. R. Ingram Jr., the Career Development Center assistant director. “Internships give students the chance to develop those skills and to get that hands-on experience so that they can be effective in their full-time opportunities. I think it is a must regardless of your discipline and your major. I just think it is important to get some form of experiential learning. It makes students competitive upon graduation so they can begin to look for opportunities.”

Internships are not required for most colleges and degree programs, but they do open up opportunities for students to learn about what it is like to be in a job that is related to their studies while at NC State. Sam Collis, a second-year studying psychology, is excited to see what it is like to work in his prospective field.

“I am going to be working this year at Liberty Hardware Incorporated as a human resource intern,” Collis said. “I am hoping to gain some real-world experience within the field and will be doing real work whether that be training or hiring or updating safety protocol. So I am just hoping to get experience and actually figure out if I like the field as well as it being a resume builder.”

Study abroad is another way students can gain valuable experience by continuing their studies while learning new cultures. Learning overseas can also help students stand out to future employers with learning skills such as intercultural communication, adapting to new homes and society and personal growth from being outside of one’s comfort zone.

COURTESY OF NC STATE STUDY ABROAD INSTAGRAM

With on-campus resources such as the Career Development Center and Study Abroad Office, students can receive advice and more information on options to enhance their resumes and experience for future careers.

Around 20 percent of undergraduate students participate in study abroad while at NC State in locations such as Prague, Italy, China, Germany and others. Study abroad enrollments at NC State reached their all-time high i n 2016 -17 w it h 1,370 participants.

Su m mer i s a l s o the most common time for students to study across the country’s borders.

No matter if students are preparing for an internship, work study or study abroad, students and advisors have words of advice for those getting ready to spend their summers or next semesters away from NC State.

“This is the beginning stages of their journey to their professional careers,”

Ingram Jr. said. “I would also recommend that students carry themselves in a professional manner. They are being watched. This could possibly lead to a full-time position. It is important to be professional as far as their appearance is concerned and their communication skills whether it is verbal or written.”

Ingram Jr. also added that students should keep a record of their time in their programs as a way for not only the students to record memories, but also to share what they did as skills to put on a resume.

“I would also add that they should keep a journal,” Ingram Jr. said. “If students

“Internships are not required for most colleges and degree programs, but they do open up opportunities for students”

can document accomplishments, achievements and things like that. When it comes down to enhancing their resumes, they can transfer some of that information so that employers can see those accomplishments and skills. That can also be talked about in an interview or other situations.”

Students are encouraged to take full advantage of the advising and resources from on campus offices such as the Study Abroad Office and Career Development Center. It is an opportunity to experience life outside of the classroom, get a jump on a future career and to explore and have fun in a different environment.

“If the opportunity presents itself, yeah, students should consider doing a program while they are here at NC State,” Collis said. “It is good work and learning experiences. If you can do it, there is no reason to say no to having that kind of background going into the future.”

Services offered for hearingimpaired in NC State community Marco Valencia Correspondent

The Disability Services Office (DSO) for NC State offers many resources and opportunities for hearing-impaired students on campus. The DSO aims to accommodate disabled students so that equal opportunities are available to all students.

The Office of Disability Services for Students was created in 1985 to further NC State’s vision of serving the needs of the whole community while providing equal opportunities for all students. The office can assist any student enrolled that has physical, learning, psychological, chronic and temporary disabilities. The office consists of eight professional and support staff with the addition of more than 70 temporary student workers who help in the process of providing accommodations.

Sabina Vermeulen, the access consultant in the DSO, is assigned to students who are deaf.

“NC State’s Disability Services Office is the authorized office on campus to receive disability documentation and determine eligibility for reasonable accommodations for students who are deaf [along with other disabilities],” Vermeulen said. “The DSO also serves as a resource to faculty in helping them understand their obligation in providing equal access for academic courses. Determining and arranging reasonable accommodations is a collaboration between the student, the course instructor or NC State unit providing the services and the DSO.” Hearing impaired students, along with other disabled students, go through an eligibility process to determine if accommodations can be provided and then go through an accommodation process to determine what alternatives or solutions can be provided for that student.

There are more than 1,000 students who can take advantage of the disability services offered at NC State.

Testing accommodations are available to pro-

vide an appropriate testing environment, such as extended time, reduced distraction spaces and other essential changes. Assistive technology is also available with the aim to consult, train and provide students with beneficial technology to assist them in accessing academic programs such as online assignments. University Housing also offers appropriate living conditions for those who are disabled through accommodations such as wider hallways and accessible ramps.

Students have become involved with DSO through programs such as the Language Ambassadors at NC State. Stephany Dunstan, the associate director of the Office of Assessment, offered input on what linguistic diversity means to NC State a whole.

“The dialects and languages we use to communicate represent a unique form of diversity that each member of the campus community brings to NC State,” Dunstan said. “Our campus is remarkable in that regard. The linguistic diversity on our campus is quite rich, given the representation we have from all across North Carolina, the United States and the world.”

Because of this diversity on campus, Dunstan believes that there is an opportunity to have conversations in new and impactful ways while learning different cultures at NC State.

“Language shapes all of our interactions, and the linguistic diversity we encounter gives us all the opportunity to engage with others in new and meaningful ways [while we] learn about and appreciate other viewpoints, cultures and

ways of communicating,” Dunstan said.

Students can also work for DSO through volunteer and paid positions. Students can apply to be note takers, classroom/access assistants, test proctors, scribes and other helping positions to improve equal opportunity at the NC State.

Iman Affane, a first-year studying philosophy, enjoys seeing all the opportunities for the entire Wolfpack.

“The university does so much to accommodate not just disabled students and faculty, but also guests,” Affane said. “The campus will make anyone at anytime feel welcome and engaged.”

The Disability Services Office is located in the Student Health Center, and their resources can be found on their website.

Columbine conversation: More shootings, less change Nineteen years. That is how long it has been si nce 13 people were murdered at Columbine High School by the hands of Dylan Klebold and Eric Andre Harris in Littleton, ColoCorbett rado.

Correspondent Families mourned, students grieved for their peers and the nation was moved to action as thousands protested the National Rif le Association in Denver on May 1, 1999. We saw the public transition from sadness to anger as we struggled to find out both why this happened and how we could prevent it. There was hope that this would lead to real change in the system and that we would no longer have to see any more students die.

Unfortunately, over the following two decades we would see 85 more school shootings and 223 more people die. That is not even counting the numerous other shootings that are not school-related such as the ones committed by James Holmes, Steven Paddock and Omar Mateen, among a number of others.

In fact, according to Nikki Graf of Pew Research Center, 57 percent of teenagers are concerned that there could be an attack at their school. An atmosphere of fear has now encompassed the very institutions dedicated to uplifting us through

education and understanding. It is crazy to think that both students and parents are afraid that one horrific day at school could possibly lead to them never seeing each other again.

The urgency on this matter is such that Gov. Roy Cooper wants to allocate $130 million in funds to bolster school safety from grade school to the university level rather than waiting for Congress to act.

Enough is enough. Americans are tired of the hollow “thoughts and prayers” that are consistently echoed following one tragedy after another. In the wake of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School terrorist attack, we see that citizens are tired of asking for change and are now demanding it after the deaths of 17 people.

Since this latest shooting, there have been hundreds of protests on both a national and international level. This is something that is unlikely to change, and the public will not allow for any more excuses from our nation’s leaders. Students have been leading the charge for change to save their own lives and that is no less true of your peers here at NC State.

On the anniversary of the Columbine incursion, NC State students participated in a walkout to show solidarity with various others occurring all around the country to remember the victims and support gun reform. They sat in the

Court of North Carolina for an hour holding various signs and engaging with other students to discuss their stance during the protest.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas alumna and current NC State sociology Ph.D. student Marie Gualtieri took part in the demonstration to express a need for progress with gun reform.

“The ‘Never Again’ movement is not about taking away people’s guns. It is just to make common sense gun laws like they do in other countries. No civilian needs an assault rif le or a weapon of war in their hands,” Gualtieri said.

Seeing her former school ravaged by so much unnecessary bloodshed has really struck a chord, and she wants to see student lives prioritized over weapons.

“We also do not want ‘bump stocks’ to be available anymore because of what they can do to weapons to make them automatic, we want to raise the age from 18 to 21 to secure firearms and we want better background checks,” Gualtieri said.

“We know that there will be compromise and we are up for compromise but we just want a conversation.”

Gualtieri was not the only one calling for compromise though, as fellow protestor Heather Schriefer, a third-year studying environmental science, believes that a common middle ground is crucial to a real resolution.

“I think it would be really nice just to see more of an education push between both sides and more of a willingness to listen and not just talk at each other,” Schriefer said. “I think it would be really cool to see how many people have concealed carry permits, how many people have actually needed it, and why they feel that they need it. If people do not feel safe where they live, then I think that is a problem.” These statements from our peers counteract the perception that the “anti-gun” crowd is actually anti-gun.

What they do stand for — myself included as a concealed carry license holder — is a conversation where we can actually move forward in a positive and productive manner. We cannot allow others to dictate the conversation, or change the narrative, about what needs to be done here. We all want the safety of our fellow Americans to be of the greatest importance.

However, one side cannot can change gun laws alone and the other cannot protect their rights alone. It will take a combined effort — and open minds and ears — in order to help us all come together as one pack. This cannot simply devolve into one side winning and one side losing but rather all of us caring about what happens next in our schools, streets and cities. It is time to stop putting our pride above the lives of our citizens.

Copdrop undermines traffic safety laws An NC State graduate with a degree in mechanical engineering has released a free navigation iPhone app that has the ability to alert the user of police radars and obShivani stacles while driving. As Shirolkar mentioned in a TechniStaff Columnist cian news article, the app, called Copdrop, was at No. 16 in the free navigation section of the iPhone app store last week.

Logan Greer, the app’s creator, explained that his inspiration for his creation came from personal experience after he was arrested for a driving violation. He said he had a strong aversion to authority and wanted to empower people to reclaim their rights.

Given this information, and from the name and purpose of his app, it seemed to me that what he was actually going for was to be able to speed on roads and get

away with it and slowing down to the allowed speed limit only when alerted of a cop. So “empowering people to reclaim their rights” would translate to encouraging them to do the same. More college students using this app will potentially create a dangerous environment on the streets.

Copdrop works using radar detectors, which are electronic devices that help identify the presence of radars in the vicinity, primarily the ones used by the police to locate cars exceeding the speed limit. The app shows speed traps, whose locations are uploaded to the map from users with radar detectors. Users who connect their detector to the app are entered in a weekly drawing, where they can win a cash prize.

Due to their nature of attempting to escape the law, police radar detectors are illegal in a large number of countries in the world. In the United States, using these devices in non-commercial vehicles

is completely legal in all states except for Virginia and Washington D.C. The chief purpose of a police radar detector is to detect the presence of a speed-monitoring radar in the immediate surroundings. They are literally made to avoid getting caught while speeding. With Copdrop soon being released on Android and gaining further popularity, it would enable an even wider range of citizens to avoid the consequences of speeding.

Speed limits are in existence for our own safety and eluding them isn’t going to solve more problems than it will create. According to Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 27 percent of all motor vehicle crash deaths in 2016 were caused by speeding. It has been a factor in more than a quarter of crash deaths since 2007.

It is one thing to be speeding at a few miles per hour over the set limit and another to be so highly above it that it endangers you and the drivers around you.

If we’re going to make use of mecha-

nisms, including radar detectors and Copdrop, that indicate to us that we need to slow down to prevent getting caught due to a cop having their attention on us, then the whole purpose of having traffic laws and traffic enforcement is defeated.

The risk of a motor vehicle crash is higher among 16- to 19-year-olds than among any other age group. They are three times more likely than drivers aged 20 and above to be in a fatal crash. We really do not want each other driving over the speed limit, but an app like Copdrop is only making us more capable of doing so.

Other features of Copdrop include notifying the driver of pothole zones, heavy traffic and accidents on the road – however, this is nothing that another map application on the iOS or Android platform won’t tell you. Clearly, Copdrop poses a hazardous use of technology by aiding citizens’ desire to break the law and get around it.

It’s everyone’s favorite time of the semester — ClassEval time.

Now that we are getting closer and closer to the end of the semester, our NC State email addresses Sarah will be flooded with rePohlman minders to complete our Staff Columnist class evaluations. With our minds on the upcoming exam week, you may be putting off filling out your ClassEval or considering not filling it out at all. Although you may find the emails irritating and the surveys tedious, ClassEval is actually an excellent and useful tool to give helpful feedback on your courses and professors.

At NC State, all classes are required to offer an end-of-semester survey to their students to evaluate both the courses and the professors who teach them. The surveys go in-depth on multiple subjects, from the effectiveness of required books to the professor’s attitude. Whether your class experience was positive or negative, filling out ClassEval is not a waste of time. ClassEval gives you the chance

to give your opinion on your college educational experience directly to the people in charge of it.

According to NC State’s Office of Institutional Research and Planning (OIRP), “Instructors use the evaluations to improve instruction and include them in their promotion and tenure dossiers, while department heads use them in annual reviews.” This means that your voice is heard during course evaluations and your comments are vital to the continuation of professors’ careers.

Although you may find ClassEval to be ineffective, it actually is carefully studied. For example, course evaluations are highly considered when a professor is applying for tenure. So if a professor wasn’t receptive to students after class or took weeks to grade exams, then ClassEval is your opportunity to voice your concerns.

Meanwhile, if you think your professor is particularly efficient, ClassEval also is considered when professors are applying for grants and awards. No matter which situation you find yourself in, ClassEval is necessary for courses to evolve and for professors to change their teaching

strategy.

However, if you choose not to respond to ClassEval, the survey results are highly skewed and nothing will change.

The OIRP notes, “the lower the response rate, the more likely it is that the mean score may be biased by responses of students with atypical opinions.” It is more likely that an extremely positive or an extremely negative student will fill out the ClassEval than a typical student. This causes the ClassEval to be pointless and inaccurate if a majority of students fail to fill out the survey. Therefore, no change will occur.

Now you may still find ClassEval to be pointless, since your time in the course is practically complete and any change that occurs will be after you finish. But you should consider both the futures of your professors and your fellow Wolfpack members. Unless you complete ClassEval, there will be no adjustment for them.

If your experience in a course is negative and you don’t fill out ClassEval, you are only perpetuating the same negative experience for other students. If the course and professor were exceptional

and you don’t fill out ClassEval, then you are taking away the opportunity for a professor to be recognized for their accomplishments. Even if your experience was average or not that impactful, you are not giving professors the feedback they need to improve the classroom experience.

Mindlessly clicking the ClassEval bubbles is also not a viable solution to enact change in the classroom. You should be thoughtful and honest with your responses, especially to any open-ended questions. Adding additional comments can give professors a clear understanding of what they are doing well and not so well.

Not only is ClassEval important to the future of NC State, but it also does not take a lot of time to complete. Even taking fifteen minutes out of one day could drastically improve courses and professors’ lives. Even if you’re still not particularly motivated to complete ClassEval, the best way to avoid receiving those pesky reminder emails is to complete your evaluations, so it is still a great idea to fill out these surveys.

ClassEval is a crucial tool for improving our classes

Wolfstock and hip-hop: preparing to celebrate LDOC

Brother-sister duo Lawrence opens for Jon Bellion at Stafford Commons at Wolfstock on April 28, 2017.

Gabby Lopez Correspondent

With the last day of classes drawing near, so too are the festivities. The longstanding tradition of party games and a concert bring a light that students rely on to urge them forward on their descent into the dark days of finals.

Hosted every year on Stafford Commons, Wolfstock provides students with a chance to unwind with music before finals week. The nighttime concert is hosted by University Activities Board each year on the last day of class (LDOC).

This year’s Wolfstock will take place on Friday at 7:30 p.m. Before the concert, students can enjoy all-day fun activities including but not limited to a ping pong tournament, food trucks, a live DJ, inflatable games and cardio dance classes.

UAB Vice President Luis Esteves, a fourthyear studying political science, plans the homecoming activities in the fall and then the spring LDOC activities.

“I oversee community development and helping chairs develop committees and how to use them for volunteering and stuff like that or for logistics and delegating tasks,” Esteves said. “Also, I do the post-event evaluations, which is our way of trying to assess how events are handled prepared and then executed then trying to evaluate them to see where we can improve or what needs to change.”

LDOC always has students in high spirits.

Lyrics from this year’s Wolfstock headliner, GoldLink, put it best: “what a time, what a year.”

The Grammy-nominated rapper will be headlining Wolfstock and the excitement is

gaining. GoldLink is best known for his crowd favorite single “Crew,” a song ever-present during pre-games and Saturday night parties.

Laid-back vibes and easy tunes can be expected at this year’s concert.

GoldLink released his debut mixtape, “The God Complex” in 2014, and last year, “Crew” peaked at No. 45 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and earned the artist a Grammy nomination. GoldLink began his career performing under his birth name DeAnthony Carlos.

UAB Concert and Entertainment Chair Zach Hover, a second-year studying communication, is largely responsible for putting together the spring concert. Hover shared the process of how the board selects the LDOC concert performer.

“Typically, we try to go with a pop artist so that we are mixing up genres, but this year we are trying something different with GoldLink who is obviously a rap and hip-hop artist,” Hover said. “We think it will be a good one because he’s Grammy-nominated and he’s pretty well known. We have a talent agent and they send us a list of people that will fit within our price range. We typically try to go with someone who has a song on the radio.”

Last year, Jon Bellion performed at the Wolfstock concert with R&B duo Lawrence performing as his opening act. If Bellion’s performance was any indication of how this year’s show is going to go then it is going to be a smash hit.

Most everyone can say that they are a fan of music, but add some friends and a spring night into that mix, and it’s a night worth celebrating.

Wolfstock is there to remind students that it is OK to have expectations and raise ‘em on up.

As exams are slowly charging up, people are gathering outside in the refreshing cool air to take a break from the smell of textbooks and educational YouTube videos.

The campus is graced with new, budding vegetation, and students are taking notice.

Jason Cuddeback, a second-year studying physics, loves the new inviting smells that are filling the air.

“I just love how I can lay back in my hammock and smell tulips and honeysuckles,” Cuddeback said. “It’s great to take my mind off things and just relax and swing with the breeze. I really love just bringing a book in there and reading forever or taking a long nap.”

The trees around campus are now no longer bare, but have begun budding with new scents and colors adding to the hammock lifestyle around campus. The hammock users now can enjoy the aromatic smells of flowers, which can remind someone of a warmly scented bath or a mountain hike, all from the comfort of a slowly swinging hammock.

The most noticeable addition to the NC State campus are the tulips which were planted recently outside of Tucker Residence Hall and other areas around cam-

pus. The tulips are in a variety of shades from red to yellow. Though slightly damaged by the still inconstant chilly breeze, they brighten the campus with a warm spring glow.

The breezeway between the D.H. Hill Library and North Campus also features new flowers and plants and plenty of places to sit and enjoy them. The fresh daisies and wild grass pop up around the grounds in between the sea of bricks to offer a stunning contrast to the campus.

Grant Pitman, a second-year studying history and economics, enjoys the flowers and the new exciting activities that they signal as the spring semester is winding to a close.

“It’s just really exciting to have these cool days so everyone can go out and play volleyball, spike ball or just throw a Frisbee around,” Grant said. “It’s really nice after having been stuck inside because it was really too cold to do anything. I’m really glad that, before the semester ends, we can all go out and have a good time.”

There has been an increase in the amount of outdoor activities as the temperatures have begun to stabilize. People have been going out to frolic in the flowers and enjoy quality time with friends or make new ones along the way.

Tucker Residence Hall, Harris Field and

the Court of North Carolina have been f looded with people leisurely lounging in the grass, reading, chatting or playing numerous outdoor activities.

Activities include beach volleyball, with courts inviting to all players, and spike ball, with nets that are always set up with both teams diving to keep the ball in play.

Just like the emerging wildlife sprouting around campus, the new popular sport at NC State seems to be Frisbee due to the competition that had everyone on campus on their heels as competing schools duked it out with the solid plastic discs.

However, as the ever lurking hand of exams approaches, a decline of merriment is expected. The flowers around campus remind us of the wonder of the outdoors, but also the rapid moving of time.

The flowers on campus may sometimes be overlooked; however, they seem to have a psychological effect on the students whether they are aware of it or not. The flowers bring people outside from the dark layers of the library and bring excitement to their study-filled day.

A tulip may brighten someone’s day more than they can imagine, which explains why they are an essential part of the campus because of their ability to cheer the student body up after a long day of cramming.

Battle-tested Pack ready to break trend Jake Caccavaro Staff writer

The last three years have brought season-ending heartbreak for the NC State baseball team and its fans. Three straight regional championship game losses in which the Pack held a lead going into the seventh inning or later will definitely break some hearts.

In 2015, the Wolfpack blew an 8-1 eighthinning lead to TCU, losing the game 9-8. In 2016, NC State blew a 5-3 ninth-inning lead to Coastal Carolina, losing 7-5. And last year, the Wolfpack led 5-4 going into the seventh inning against Kentucky before allowing six runs in the last three innings and falling 10-5.

The ghosts of years past will certainly be haunting the Wolfpack, but this year feels different.

At this point in the season the last three years, the Wolfpack had records of 20-20 (2017), 26-11 (2016) and 21-17 (2015).

The 2016 Wolfpack team, which was ranked No. 10 in the nation at this point in the season, hadn’t faced much competition yet, going only 4-3 against ranked teams at the time. That team faded down the stretch, finishing the season 12-11 from April 23, 2017, through the end of the season.

This season’s Wolfpack team, currently ranked No. 4 in the country by D1 Baseball with a record of 31-8, has proven to be battle-tested.

The Pack has already played 10 games against ranked teams, going 8-2 against the tough competition, including a threegame road sweep of then-No. 2 Clemson.

A model of consistency so far, NC State has yet to lose a single series this year, going 9-0 in its weekend series.

This year’s Wolfpack team has one of the best offenses in the nation. As a team, the Pack is hitting .303 with a .398 on-base percentage and is fifth in the country in home runs with 56.

This is the part where a “The Pack is led on offense by …” statement would typically come into play. However, the Pack is literally led on offense by … everyone.

Unlike years past, where the Wolfpack has typically had a top-heavy lineup, this year’s team is strong from top to bottom.

Senior outfielder Josh McLain leads the team with a .362 batting average, junior outfielder Brett Kinneman is first on the team with 13 home runs and 45 RBIs, junior infielder Evan Edwards leads the Pack with a .446 on-base percentage and senior outfielder Brock Deatherage has been the Wolfpack’s best baserunner, leading the team with 14 stolen bases in 19 attempts.

The 2015-17 Wolfpack teams all had serious red flags throughout the season when it came to the teams’ potential in the College World Series. The 2015 team struggled through three separate three-game losing streaks. The 2016 team lost a home series to unranked Boston College, got swept

by Louisville, and lost 15-3 to rival East Carolina University. The 2017 Wolfpack team sat at only .500 through 40 games of the season.

The 2018 Wolfpack has zero such red flags this year. The Pack has yet to lose consecutive games, has lost to only three teams with losing records (Boston College, Notre

Dame, Virginia Tech) and has proven it can handle the big stage against big teams, going 6-1 so far against rivals UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke and Clemson.

NC State still has an abundance of difficult games left. A pair of three-game series against No. 15 UNC and No. 18 Florida State following a home tilt with No. 12 East Carolina will go a long way in determining whether or not this year’s Wolfpack team is for real. Emerge from those seven games with a winning record and the Pack will likely be looking at a top-eight national seed come College World series time.

With nine ACC games remaining, the Wolfpack sits in first in the ACC Atlantic, holding a two-game lead over Clemson, which the Pack holds the tiebreaker over.

The Pack is also first overall in the ACC, one game ahead of the Tar Heels.

If the Pack is able to fend off Clemson and UNC to win the ACC, it would be the Wolfpack’s first win since 1992; eleven years before 22-season head coach Elliott Avent took over.

The fact that the Wolfpack is on the verge of history sums up the season pretty well: this Wolfpack team feels different.

NFL Draft Profile: Jaylen Samuels Andrew Schnittker Sports Editor

With the NFL draft fast approaching, it’s clear NC State football’s representation in the pros is about to skyrocket. The latest projections have eight former Wolfpackers being drafted by NFL teams.

Perhaps the most intriguing of these NC State prospects is “tight end” Jaylen Samuels.

Though NFL.com lists him as a tight end, Samuels was listed as an all-purpose back in college, and that is far more indicative of his abilities.

Samuels was the Pack’s most versatile weapon throughout his career, capable of producing in both the running and passing game. Samuels finished first on the team

with 76 catches in 2017-18, third in receiving yards with 597 and third in rushing yards with 404. He is NC State’s all-time reception leader with 201 for his career.

So, how will all of that translate to the NFL? Despite his production as a receiver and being listed as a tight end, both Samuels and the NFL teams he’s talked to see him as a contributor in the run game.

“I met with a lot of teams at the Senior Bowl, at the combine,” Samuels said at NC State’s pro day. “Every team is telling me running back. Being able to split out on third downs and catch the ball, because I have great catching skills. Being able to show my catching ability as well. They see me as a

Women’s tennis stalls on senior night Shrijan Tallury Correspondent

The No. 33 Wolfpack women’s tennis team was defeated by No. 27 Syracuse by a slim 4-3 margin on senior night. Winning seven of its last nine matches, the Pack was aiming to build some momentum and move up the rankings in its final game, but still enters the postseason with high hopes.

The Wolfpack (16-13, 7-7 ACC) got out to a hot start in doubles and took a 3-2 lead in court one doubles, and 4-1 leads on the other two courts through five games.

The Pack wrapped up quickly and won courts two and three by a score of 6-1.

After securing the doubles point, the Wolfpack saw strong play early in singles.

Head coach Simon Earnshaw mentioned this, and his consequent disappointment with the end of the game.

“I thought we were excellent the first two hours of today’s match,” Earnshaw said. “And then the last hour we got outworked by the other team. Obviously things are situational, but you want to be the better team at the end of the match, not necessarily the start of the match.”

With the teams splitting the first two singles matches, the Wolfpack was up one.

The Pack’s prospects looked promising as NC State won the first set on two other courts.

On court three, freshman Taylor Bridges, who holds the most ACC singles wins recorded in one season in program history, won the first set 6-3.

Her opponent Sofya Golubovskaya was not fazed by the first set defeat though, and sent it to a third after a 6-3 victory in the second. In the deciding set, Bridges was unable to get her momentum back, and suffered a 6-3, 3-6 and 2-6 loss.

Meanwhile, Taylor Stenta, the lone senior on the team, was up 4-2 in the first set, before easing up and letting Syracuse’s Libi Mesh come back.

“Going out there with nothing to lose, I think that was our problem today when

NFL experts are also trying to piece together how Samuels will fit in the NFL. NFL. com analyst Lance Zierlein projects Samuels as a fourth-round pick in the upcoming draft.

According to Zierlein, some of Samuels’ strengths are his versatility as an all-pur-

we got up.” Stenta said. “I know in myself, I did that; I just got passive. When we’re up we got to focus on being aggressive, so we’ll focus on that for the next match.”

Stenta lost the first set 7-5, but managed to keep the second set close and had it all tied up at three before succumbing to Mesh by a score of 5-7, 3-6.

On court one, sophomore No. 33 Anna Rogers faced the Orange’s No. 5 Gabriela Knutson in the marquee matchup of the evening.

Taking the first set in a strong showing, Rogers won by a score of 6-4, staying poised throughout and forcing Knutson into errors.

In a very close second set, Rogers had the opportunity to close the match out after taking a 5-4 lead. Her strong first serves and volleys proved to be a struggle for Knutson. Almost managing to break Knutson’s serve at 6-5, Rogers nearly closed it out, but tied at 40 all, an ace by Knutson gave her the game point. The match went to a tie-breaker where Knutson turned up the heat and won 7-1 to win the second set, 7-6.

Rogers brief ly held a 2-1 lead before Knutson stormed ahead and won the match 6-4, 7-6, 6-3.

Even though the match didn’t have implications on the outcome of the game, the

final match was between junior Claudia Wiktorin and Anna Shkudun. Wiktorin won the second set, 6-3, by using her powerful forehand to put away points after losing the first set 4-6.

With the third set tied at four games apiece. Wiktorin stayed consistent and closed out the match 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.

“I thought we all went out there with really good energy,” Stenta said. “It was a shame it didn’t end the way we wanted to, but hopefully that makes us more motivated for the ACC tournament.”

The Wolfpack will next play on Thursday in the ACC Tournament against Clemson at 9 a.m. at Cary Tennis Park.

pose player, his ability to run in a variety of schemes, his size on the goal line and his ability to make defenders miss and create separation.

Conversely, his weaknesses are his lack of speed (though he did run a 4.54 40-yard dash at the combine), too many drops in the receiving game and inability to run routes. Ironically, his versatility could also hurt him, as NFL teams may be worried if he can excel at one position, and is possibly a jack of all trades, but master of none.

“Here is the problem I’m having in writing my report,” an NFC scout told NFL.com “Does he have any special talent or is he just a player who is used in a variety of roles? Is he really, really good at any of his roles or just versatile? That can be the difference between going in the third round or the fifth round.”

Samuels would benefit from playing for a crafty coach capable of using his versatility to its full effect, such as Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots or Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs. If Samuels is being

viewed as a running back, teams with a need in that area include the Indianapolis Colts, Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions, Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles.

While Samuels will have his work cut out for him, showing that the same versatile skill set that helped him make a name for himself in college can do the same in the NFL, if he can find the right fit with the right team and coach, he could be one of the most unique contributors pro football has seen.

Duke trounces NC State in series finale Jason Bacherman Staff Writer

In the final game of the series, the NC State baseball team couldn’t complete the sweep after surrendering a first-inning grand slam as Duke cruised to an 11-2 win at Jack Coombs Field Sunday afternoon.

The Wolfpack (31-8, 15-6 ACC) still managed to clinch the series after winning the first two games Friday and Saturday while the Blue Devils (31-10, 13-7 ACC) used nine hits, eight walks and timely hitting to take the series finale.

“I thought some guys really let the flow of the game get to them, and that was the most disappointing thing to me,” said head coach Elliott Avent. “We could’ve made about three plays to allow our pitching to survive and we didn’t do that.”

Sophomore pitcher Michael Bienlien got the start for the Wolfpack, and it didn’t last long. After loading the bases on a walk and two hits, Bienlien yielded a grand slam to Duke’s Griffin Conine to put the Devils up 4-0 in the first frame with just one out.

Bienlien, who eventually was saddled with the loss, surrendered a triple off the center field wall and Avent had seen enough, calling on sophomore right-hander Mathieu Gauthier, one of six pitchers for the Pack on the day.

NC State got a run back in the second inning after a leadoff double from junior first baseman Evan Edwards and a RBI single from senior right fielder Brock Deatherage

to close the gap and make it 4-1.

Another run came in to score for the Pack in the fifth inning thanks to a leadoff walk from freshman designated hitter Terrell Tatum and a sacrifice bunt by freshman pinch hitter J.T. Jarrett. Tatum stole third and was driven in by senior center fielder Josh McLain’s double to cut the lead to 4-2.

The run ended up being the last for NC State on the day.

After the Pack battled back within two runs, Duke took control of the game in the fifth inning. After freshman Evan Justice allowed the first two batters of the inning to reach base, redshirt junior Nolan Clenney came in to try to stifle the Duke bats.

Despite the pitching change, the Blue Devils plated six runs, one on a sac fly, three on a bases-clearing double and two on a home run to left field to put the game out of reach at 10-2.

“We kind of let it roll out of hand,” McLain said. “It’s hard to have good at-bats when you’re down by eight runs, seven runs, but I think if we had made those plays we would have had a chance to come back.”

Duke continued to pile on the runs, getting another one in the sixth inning on a sac fly and increasing its lead to 11-2, which ended up being the final score.

“Offensively, we just didn’t stick with it,” Avent said. “It’s only the second time this year I’ve seen that happen.”

NC State recorded just five hits and two walks while striking out nine times, an uncharacteristically sluggish performance

from the ACC’s top offense.

“We took two from a pretty good team, beat Carolina a couple days ago, we’re rolling right now,” McLain said. “We got a loss

but we’re not going to sulk on it.”

The Wolfpack will be back in action Tuesday when it faces off with in-state opponent East Carolina University Tuesday at 6 p.m.

base. Unfortunately, a quick pair of strikeouts extinguished the threat and the Wolfpack wouldn’t sniff home plate for the rest of the game.

The third game also saw minimal opportunities for the Wolfpack until senior shortstop Alyssa Compton made it to third base in the seventh inning. But the Orange

were already up 7-0 at that point, and still NC State could not finish and was shutout for the second game in a row.

Caraway continues to be one of the bright spots in a stagnant offense. She averages .262 but leads the team in runs with 31 and hits with 38. Caraway and some of the senior leaders on the team will have to step up their hitting performances with the competitive ACC Championship looming on May 9.

Sophomore pitcher Devin Wallace (1113) took the loss for games one and three.

Wallace performed well in game one, throwing her 13th complete game of the season and giving up four hits and three earned runs. Things got away from her in game three when she gave up four earned runs in the first inning and was relieved by senior pitcher Harli Hubbard in the second inning.

The Wolfpack will continue its season on Wednesday when it travels to Greenville, North Carolina, to take on East Carolina University.

Wolfpack softball swept by Syracuse Robert Brooks Correspondent

The NC State softball team (22-25, 5-15 ACC) faced a difficult series against the Syracuse Orange last weekend. The Pack lost all three games to the Orange due to a lack of offensive production as it was only able to score one run out of all three games.

Sophomore infielder Haylee Kobziak scored the only run of the weekend for the Wolfpack when she sent a solo home run over the fence in the first inning of the first game. But Syracuse tied it in the third inning, and after two more runs in the same frame due to a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch and bases-loaded single RBI, the game was all but over.

NC State had a scoring opportunity in the second game when sophomore outfielder Jade Caraway walked and later made it to third on a Syracuse error. After that, Kobziak singled to right and made it to second
