2nd best place to work Sara Awad Staff Writer
Imagine going to work where you get to meet Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow, managers value you and you feel like you are on a college campus. For people working at SAS, a software company started in Cary by N.C. State faculty member Anthony James Barr and SAS CEO and N.C. State alum Jim Goodnight, this is reality. Senior in business administration Virginia Webb said she chose to intern at SAS because she heard it was “the biggest information technology company in the world.” Her statement comes as Fortune Magazine ranked SAS as the second best place to work in the U.S. for 2012. Google currently holds the top spot, but SAS held the number one spot in 2010 and 2011. Employee satisfaction hailed from a number of factors that included the people, amenities and

Out of the timeout, Miami guard Shane Larkin pushed up a contested lay-up that hit rim and missed, but Johnson was there for the put-back with only .8 seconds left on the clock. Johnson’s basket put Miami up by one point. Freshman guard Rodney Purvis’ three-quarter court desperation shot hit rim but bounced out as the buzzer sounded to end the game. Head coach Mark Gottfried emphasized how proud he was of his team’s resilience in a loss that’s hard to swallow. “That’s a heartbreaker,” Gottfried said. “I thought we played extremely hard and never quit. I’m disappointed, but at the same time, I’m proud of our effort. ” With Brown sidelined by an ankle injury sustained in last Tuesday’s game against Virginia, Gottfried’s

Politics were not the only factor that appeared to have an impact on students’ opinions. Other factors that may have played a role in shaping opinions included students’ upbringing. Students whose parents own a gun are twice as likely to support concealed carry on campus as students whose parents do not. The Pack Poll gathered these statistics from an online survey conducted Jan. 28-29, in which about 26,000 students were emailed questions about their opinions on
gun laws. Of the 26,000 who were contacted, 891, or 34 percent, responded. According to Jake LaRoe, a researcher at the Pack Poll, this is a high response rate compared to the 9 percent response rate normally seen in industry polls, which can likely be attributed to the brevity of the survey and the exclusiveness of the network of survey recipients.

job was sure to be a challenge. Operating a limited seven-man rotation, Gottfried elected to start junior center Jordan Vandenberg in place of junior forward C.J. Leslie. The decision was likely made to rest Leslie for the end of the game. Vandenberg, who made his first career start as a member of the Wolfpack, played only seven total minutes and registered one block and a steal. Purvis started the game at point guard, flanked by �freshman forward T.J. Warren and senior guard Scott Wood. As the game played out, Purvis shifted to wing, and Lewis assumed point guard duties. The game was defined by spurts by both teams. Coming out with tenacious defense and physical frontcourt play, the Hurricanes found an early rhythm, jumping out to an 11-7 lead at the first media timeout.

The only statistic it was bested in happens to be the only one that matters — �the final score. State lost against Miami, 79-78, Saturday afternoon in PNC Arena. State played the game without junior starting point guard Lorenzo Brown. Miami forward Reggie Johnson converted a last-second tipin as the Hurricanes handed State its first home loss of the season. With 47 seconds left and the score 78-77 in the Wolfpack’s favor, Miami gained possession after freshman guard Tyler Lewis missed a jumper in the lane. After the Hurricanes got the rebound, they immediately called timeout with 10.9 seconds remaining.

More than 2,400 incoming freshmen received course credit from Advanced Placement classes this fall, according to registration and records. However, many institutions are modifying their policies considering AP classes. Dartmouth College recently announced it will no longer accept AP credits towards graduation, effective 2018. Hakan Tell is a classics professor and chairman of Darthmouth College’s Committee on Instruction. “The concern that we have is that increasingly, AP has been seen as equivalent to a collegelevel course, and it really isn’t, in our [the college’s] opinion,” Tell said in an interview with NPR. Jim Martin, professor of chemistry and a representative for the Wake County Board of Education, agrees. Martin explained that colleges are straying away from providing AP credit because AP courses are becoming centered around test preparation more than the actual learning process. “I see that a significant amount of AP is teaching people to pass the AP test,” Martin said. Kristin Stroud, a sophomore majoring in fashion and textile brand management, affirms this notion. “I do not feel like I gained the same quality of education [in AP classes] because we simply aim towards passing a test rather than learning true fundamentals and material,” Stroud said. Preparing for standardized exams encourages students to focus solely on recognition based learning, Martin said, adding that this is problematic because it is not practical in real-life situations. “The way I teach reflects the way my life is as a chemist. When I’m working, I don’t get answers
to choose between,” Martin said. Martin said he finds students in his higher level chemistry courses who have received credit for a prerequisite through AP credits perform at a much lower rate compared to those who took the prerequisite courses at the University. “People who have been trained with the standardized form of learning get a culture shock,” Martin said. Martin said high schools should require more intensive and challenging classes that teach fundamental skills such as critical thinking, independent learning and problem solving rather than merely passing a test. Stroud said she feels like she gets more of an education from her courses now. “I think AP classes had more ‘busy-work’ and were far more time-consuming than my classes now. I feel like my classes now provide me an ample amount of time to study and actually learn the material rather than simply memorize it for a test,” Stroud said. According to Martin, AP classes can be helpful for students. “However, there’s a difference between a class being helpful and being substituted for college credit,” Martin said. Another problem with AP classes is that they discourage students from taking other enriching classes. “I see this as a member of the Board of Education; there are a lot of students who take AP courses because of the impact they have on a weighted GPA,” Martin said. Martin asserts this discourages students from taking other courses that broaden their experience. “I always encourage students to take as many drama classes as they can; you might not need to perform a drama in career, but you need the communication and presentation skills that a drama class might teach you,” Martin said. Martin said he does not think

the flexibility. According to SAS’s website, the core of these factors goes back to Goodnight’s philosophy, which refers to the company’s employees as “creative capital.” “It’s my job to maintain a work environment that keeps those people coming back every morning,” Goodnight said in an article on Harvard Business Review featured on SAS’s website. According to a WRAL Tech Wire article, Goodnight’s innovation resulted in a 3.3 percent employee turnover rate and record profits. Webb said the best part of her internship was the people, who still visit her at the restaurant where she currently works. Former N.C.

The recent gun control policy debate prompted the questions on the Pack Poll and is the topic of legislation in the North Carolina Senate. According to The News and Observer, a bill was introduced Thursday, Jan. 31, which will allow teachers to possess guns on campus if passed. Alex Dowcett, a junior in environmental engineering and Democrat who participated in the survey, said he does not want to see a concealed carry policy on campus. “A large part of me says that there is no reason why a technologically advanced society should allow an object that has the one and only use of taking another person’s
said. Junior in statistics and computer science Bethany Vohlers has worked at the company for three years. “My father and brother work there, so it feels like one big family,” Vohlers said. “I get my hair done out there, go to the gym and see people I’ve known since I was little.” Even Student Body President Andy Walsh works at SAS, following in the footsteps of his mother and father who also work for the company. “Getting to work in such a positive SAS environment – where one is given the tools to be intellectually challenged and stimulated – has had an impact on how I perform my duties at N.C. State,” Walsh said in a blog by SAS communications specialist Shannon Heath. SAS also offers many amenities to employees. “It’s almost like a big college campus,” Dorsett said. According to Dorsett, SAS employees have a card similar to the Wolfpack One card, which they can swipe to deduct the money they use on SAS’s services from their paychecks. “Where I see SAS most emulating a college setting is through the technology found on both campuses,” Walsh said in Heath’s blog.
Webb said she also enjoyed seeing famous movie starts when Iron Man III filming took place in her building. “I got to meet Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow,” Webb said. According to Dorsett, SAS operates under flexible conditions as well; some employees come in early to go to the gym and then return to their office. Dorsett said he only worked Tuesdays through Fridays, equating to a 35hour workweek. “You work 35 hours, but you get paid like you are working 40,” Dorsett said. Dorsett said the only reason he left his job at SAS was because he preferred collegiate athletics rather than recreation and fitness. Dorsett now works as a marketing assistant for the University’s athletic department. “However, for analytics and computer science, SAS is the best place to be,” Dorsett said. SAS was unable to give Technician statistics regarding the number of N.C. State students employed by the company in time for publication. According to Webb, many N.C. State students working at SAS have family or friend connections. Dorsett said SAS vice president of human resources Jenn Mann was a family friend.

According to Webb, managers also associate with a lot of the University’s organizations, like Alpha Kappa Psi, with whom Webb is a member. Webb and Vohlers said they would love to work at SAS as full-time employees after graduation. According to Webb, 60 percent of SAS interns get rehired. “I didn’t just do busy work during my internship and they treated me like a real employee,” Vohlers said. “I learned a lot of how software products get from point A to point B,” Webb said. “I actually got to be in the business world and see how it works.”

Hopscotch 2013. “We recorded the EP really fast, so we want to take our time on this,” Logan said. Jenny Besetzt, a five-piece band from Greensboro, performed shoegaze-inspired rock defined by ambient guitar and synthesizer beneath guttural vocals Friday along with an indie-pop performance by aptly named Lollipops. Members of WKNC gave praise to the bands for their performa nces, ma ny of which gave thanks back. Jason Kutchma of JKutchma and the Five Fifths gave his account of what the station means to him. Kutchma, who blended folk, rock and pop in his headlining performance Friday night, began with a speech. Kutchma said after agonizing attempts distributing his music, he heard himself first on WKNC; it was a moment Kutchma said he wouldn’t forget. “It was so nice that someone out there cared about [my music],” Kutchma said. “I feel like it legitimized me.”
Deputy News Editor
Bands did not have to travel far to show off local talent at WKNC’s Double Barrel Benefit 10 at the Pour House Friday and Saturday nights. The lineup highlighted by Spider Bags and Lilac Shadows of Carrboro, and Oulipo of Raleigh, meshed with folk and indie-rock outfits to produce a homogenous festival. Lilac Shadows’ performance Friday night energized the predominately student crowd, with an energetic presence despite a keyboard malfunction pre-performance. Double Barrel marked Lilac Shadows’ first performance in nearly half a year, and band member Sam Logan said on stage, “It feels good.” “[Double Barrel] was the most fun I’ve had in a long time,” Logan said. Logan felt Lilac Shadows’ most recent EP was quick, if not rushed, and he wanted to take his time writing and recording for a new album that is slated for release near
Kutchma, who sounded something of a southern Bruce Springsteen, said his influences have varied from John Lennon, early Bob Dylan and Springsteen, but that he attempts to keep to a style his own. Against the indie-rock mantra of the weekend, Oulipo, composed partially of N.C. State students, performed eclectic music saturated with synthesizer, voice modulation and technical drumming. Timmy Matthews, guitarist for Oulipo and junior in communications, said the performance may not have been the band’s largest in size, but may have been their most important performance to date. Matthews said he thought the band’s first performance at the Pour House was successful and enjoyable. “I was very impressed with it,” Matthews said. “I thought the crowd was very responsive.” Matthews said the band plans to release a new track in two weeks and is currently

working on an album for summer release. Headlining the night, Spider Bags, a three-piece group out of Carrboro, made noise with psychstyle punk and alarming stage presence. Nick Murphy, senior in chemical engineering, said he enjoyed the performance for its music and raucous attitude. Murphy said he liked the exciting stage presence given by Spider Bags’ bassist and guitarist. “The singer laid down and played a solo, I just thought that was really punk,” Murphy said. “I liked how the bassist got on the speakers, I thought that really amped people up.” The tenth Double Barrel Benefit brought several flavors of local indie-rock together, proving the music surrounding the Triangle is still a force to be reckoned with.

“These children in Ghana just gravitate toward you and immediately love you,” Wilson said. “They’re so sweet and gentle and just want to get to know who you are.” The number one cause of death in Ghana is malaria. In fact, children in Ghana get malaria like the common cold in America. “Sometimes, it would be three of four days before the child would go to the hospital because the people who ran the orphanage didn’t have the money and wanted to wait some time to be sure,” Wilson said. “So a kid would
have a 103-degree fever for three days.” It was hard for Wilson to see that happen to the children, and she ended up advocating for a child who was sick to go to the doctor right away and paid for their visit. “A week into my experience, I felt like I wasn’t giving the children enough in comparison to how much they were changing my life,” Wilson said. That was the mindset that inspired Wilson to do something for the children. She created a project called “A Bed For An Angel,” which
raises money to give all the children mosquito nets and bunk beds. She started the project the following September, and by sending out emails to her family and friends, letters to churches and talking with people at N.C. State, she had raised enough money four months later. In January 2011, Wilson made $3,000 for her project. In the summer of 2011, she returned to Ghana again. “My goal kind of changed when I got back to Ghana [and spoke with Volta Aid],” Wilson said. “I realized they needed health insurance first
and foremost, so that there would never be an excuse for them to go to the hospital when they got sick. And secondly, that they needed multivitamins every day.” Childhood is the most important time for people to get the nutrients they need. These orphans were not getting enough because of their eating habits, and these vitamins help with that. “It was so important that I went back [to Ghana] with an open mind,” Wilson said. “I told people that I was roughly going to buy just mosquito nets and bunk beds, but the real purchase that meant so much was the health insurance and the multivitamins. That’s what I’m most proud about because bunk beds can break and malaria nets can rip, but the health insurance is guaranteeing their future more.” All of her purchases were made in Ghana to help the local economy. With the remainder of the money, Wilson created a fund for future volunteers to add to so that the children can continue to get more. “I think the children were very grateful,” Wilson said. “I think the older children knew what was going on, but I never said, ‘This is from Nellie. You’re welcome.’ It was just giving it to them that mattered and getting to see how happy they were when they got [it all].” According to Wilson, her time in Africa is not one that will ever be forgotten. She said her experiences modified the way she lives her life and completely turned her world upside-down. “I think that when you see poverty like I did, there’s no turning back or forgetting it,” Wilson said. “These kids completely changed my worldview and helped me realize what I was passionate about, which is helping people. And now, when I see struggle is when I realize how beautiful life is.
GLBT center conducts follow-up survey Taylor Quinn Staff Writer
Ten years ago, when the GLBT Center was just getting ready to open its doors at N.C. State, a survey was conducted among the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community gauging the climate of equality within the University. Now the center is conducting the survey again to see how things have changed and if the full equality of treatment is in sight. Justine Hollingshead, director of the GLBT Center, wanted to conduct this sur-
vey to discover “how to make changes and meet the need of the community,” and added “research and assessment is a need.” This survey is unique to N.C. State but takes elements from national surveys as well as from the survey taken in 2003 that was used in Vice
Provost Lisa Zapata’s dissertation. She is one of the associates responsible for the health and counseling centers who did research gauging climates of the GLBT community. Zapata helped with the planning and analysis of this survey to make sure it would maximize the information they received. The GLBT Center’s administration felt as though it was time to conduct another survey to compare the results to see how, or if, the University has grown as a more inclusive community. “[The survey] is open to

The survey takes approximately twenty minutes to complete and should be answered as honestly as possible.

Amina’s Cafe combines student staples Nicky Vaught Deputy News Editor
To those who have ever craved Mediterranean cuisine and frozen treats at the same time, Hillsborough Street may finally have the place for you. Abbes Khelfa opened Amina’s Cafe, 2508 Hillsborough St., at the beginning of the year and runs the cafe independently, �primarily to sell frozen yogurt. On one side of the cafe, Khelfa sells Mediterranean dishes, such as panini, gyro and kabobs; on the other, frozen yogurt and ice cream. According to Khelfa, frozen yogurt and Mediterranean food pair well and both harbor certain health benefits, so he decided to sell them together. With students and faculty as his most frequent customers, Khelfa focuses mostly on selling to students as he has the most experience selling to them. Prior to relocating to the Raleigh area, Khelfa and a partner owned and operated Angora, a frozen yogurt shop near Boston College and Boston University. After its initial success, Khelfa and his partner expanded, turning Angora into a three-store chain.

Stacks of toppings line the walls of Amina’s Cafe, a frozen yogurt and mediterranean cafe, on Tuesday. Options available for mixing include Oreo’s, York Peppermint Patties and N.Y. style cheesecake.
“Customers who have spent time in Boston often find out the same man who started Amina’s is the one who started Angora,” Khelfa said. “They get excited.” Khelfa said he hopes Amina’s gains the same kind of popularity. According to Khelfa, people in many states know about Angora. Success in Boston inspired Khelfa to start Amina’s near N.C. State and, as it’s at the center of a fast-paced, rapidly growing city, Khelfa expects to see the same level of opportunity.
Khelfa started Amina’s on his own, leaving his business partner with the three Angora establishments. The man behind Amina’s got into the frozen yogurt business after leaving his business selling ice cream in Algeria. He and his Turkish partner started selling frozen yogurt in 1990. Their shop gained popularity, as it was the only frozen yogurt business in the area. “Nobody sold it, really,” Khelfa said. “I’d seen it around and at the mall, but it’s not the same. [Ours] isn’t
like, you know, the soft serve, it’s different.” Amina’s Cafe joins an impressive lineup of Mediterranean restaurants and frozen yogurt shops on Hillsborough Street. Some students wonder if the cafe will see much success. “There are already so many restaurants like that,” Josh Poole, a junior in mechanical engineering, said. “There’s Jasmin and Freshberry. It’s like Amina’s is a flower seed that got planted after the rest have already grown and it won’t see much light.”

Amina’s Cafe owner, Abbes Khelfa, displays chicken kabobs which is one of the many mediterranean delights on Tuesday. The cafe also serves made to order frozen yogurt combinations. “I am bringing high quality yogurt and fresh mediterranean food,” Khelfa said.
Poole, eating a small bowl of Nutella-f lavored yogurt, said he enjoyed the business for its integration of two popular, healthy food items. “Hopefully people do go to it,” Poole said. “If not a lot
of people, just enough for it to stay in business. It’s a really interesting place and it doesn’t get carried away by its own gimmick.”

ploy our neighbors as much as possible.” Alex Peden, a 2012 graduate of N.C. State’s College of Art and Design and a recent hire of High Cotton, explained their passion for employing their neighbors. “One of their main ideas for coming to Raleigh was to pull from the talent at N.C. State and UNC-Chapel Hill,” Peden said. “We’ve gone a step further,” Hill said. “We’ve made a commitment not only to North Carolina, but to my hometown of Raleigh; we’re investing here.” With 150 stores carrying their products, High Cotton is sold all the way from Maine to Texas. It will be in Raleigh, though, that they first open a retail store all their own. “We’ll be able to show our story to folks in hopes that they’ll understand what we’re doing,” Hill said. Elizabeth Hardy, a 2008 graduate of N.C. State’s College of Textiles and a recent hire of High Cotton, has lent a helping hand in their recent growth. “I’m helping with fabric sourcing and developing,” Hardy said. “Two weeks ago I went with Judy [Hill] to pick out the fabric for our new spring collection. I get to use what I’ve learned in New York, where I was for four years after graduating, but here in Raleigh with High Cotton. It’s the perfect combination.” Being one of the two College of Design graduates working at High Cotton, Peden credits a majority of his hire to the College of Design. “I credit my getting this job to the College of Design and my professors there,” Peden said. “There are two people, Kathleen Rieder, assistant professor of Art and Design, and Chandra Cox, head of the department of Art and Design. … They’re the reason

High Cotton Ties features designs representative of classic Southern style. New products and styles, such as polos and T-shirts, have broadened the company’s repertoire.
I have this job. They set me up for success big time.” According to Hill, it’s this recipe of Hardy, Peden and the homegrown culture of the business that has set High Cotton up for success. “It’s because of the culture, our products are made by people in the south,” Hill said. “We go so far as to use cotton from North Carolina for all of our products. We try not just to make them here but to pick the cotton for most of our products here too.” In the end, according to Hardy, the locality and natural angle High Cotton takes is what makes them and their product so different. “There’s so much product out there,” Hardy said. “Coming from New York I’ve seen how a lot of companies throw food at the wall and see what sticks. They run out of time and they’re trying to please all of their retailers … the product suffers. With the way High Cotton makes every piece, we’re not going to make that same mistake.” High Cotton Ties will have their grand opening with First Friday on March 1 at 19 West Hargett St.

And to motivate graduates for this passage, universities traditionally invite a commencement speaker to speak on graduation day. Some of the most distinguished members of our society have addressed graduates in universities across the country. Fame isn’t the primary qualification for being a commencement speaker, it is necessary for speakers to have affected the world in a significant way: to have proven that through their own actions,
they can speak meaningfully about contributing to the world. A commencement speaker should be inspirational — graduates should feel like doing things not presented as normal choices in the classroom. In this, the speakers should be realistic idealists. The speakers should also be insightful. They should say something graduates would otherwise not have thought or been advised about during college. It definitely shouldn’t be a 10-minute-long truism. In other words, they should be all that our commencement speaker last year, former N.C.

State and current San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, was not. Rivers told the class of 2012 about the three priorities of his life: faith, family and football. He sermonized about how “if that [football] doesn’t get you fired up, I don’t know what will.” and talked about his hobbies (“golf, fishing, whatever”). This is not what any graduating N.C. State class deserves. Some members of Technician’s editorial staff graduating this May actually say that they would rather go to Duke’s commencement ceremony and listen to Melinda Gates rather than their own. UNC-Chapel Hill impresses this year, featuring AOL co-founder Steve Case. So who is our commencement speaker this year? We won’t know until March. But UNC-CH and Duke found out about theirs in October
and November, respectively. Maybe it’s appropriate why they have speakers that aren’t mediocre … the relevant powers there actually seem to care. It’s not a “big-nameschool” thing. The University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 2010 brought in Al Gore, and last year, NC A&T had Michelle Obama. A commencement address should be a culmination of one’s time at university, not a review of it, and surely not a floundering formality like last year’s. But there was one thing Rivers said that our student government and administration should take to heart. The quarterback looked earnestly at his audience, and then spoke his final words: “Class of 2012, go all the way.” To whoever chooses the commencement speaker, go all the way, and make sure that this year’s commencement stands out to be as memorable and special an occasion as such a culmination merits.

Cynthia Breazeal
Tom Regan
Morgan Spurlock
Sue Gardner
Barbara Ehrenreich
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Breazeal teaches and researches at MIT and directs the Personal Robotics Group, a lab that designs social robots. She built Kismet, a robot that can convey emotion, and another of her creations, Leonardo, can mimic human expressions. Her expertise pertains not just to technology, but als o to psychology and interpersonal interactions.
Regan, a professor emeritus of N.C. State’s Philosophy Department, is considered the philosophical leader of the modern animal rights movement. His expertise isn’t just limited to vegetarianism: Regan is what Technician considers “a homeboy”: a scholar who has helped put the University on the academic map.
This documentarian from West Virginia made a name for himself with Supersize Me, a movie that exposed obesity and aggressive fast-food marketing in the U.S. Spurlock’s adventurous nature has led him to subject himself to many of the world’s hardships, but his sense of humor and courage handlebar mustache make him quite the storyteller.
Who could graduate from college without the help of Sue Gardner, the executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation, the host of Wikipedia? Gardner’s work with Wiki has not only impacted us as students, but she has expanded the company’s readership and contributor-ship globally.
Ehrenreich made a name for herself after she published Nickel and Dimed in 2001, a book based on her experience living on minimum wage in the United Stated. She considers herself a humanist and refers to her writing as advocacy and activism for social justice.
Tyson is an astrophysicist and a common contributor to NOVA SceinceNow and The Colbert Report for science news. Tyson’s leadership in science education and communication has made him the de facto spokesman for NASA and STEM education.
Marshall Brain
Naomi Wolf
Rajendra K. Pachauri
V.S. Ramachandran
Angela Davis
Cookie Monster
Brain is the founder of HowStuffWorks. Before achieving success as an entrepreneur, author and public speaker, he earned a master’s degree in computer science from N.C. State, and taught in the computer science department here for six years.
Wolf became the leader of the “third wave of the feminist movement” after her 1991 book, The Beauty Myth. Her works expose chronic societal problems, like sexism and ethnocentrism, but her social criticism is ultimately hopeful and encourages higher social standards.
Since 2002, R.K. Pachauri has been the chairperson of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. Perhaps our most eminent alumnus, he received his master’s degree in industrial engineering from N.C. State.
Ramachandran is a neuroscientist who teaches at UC San Diego, and as the director of the Center for Brain and Cognition, he has pioneered research in the physiology of psychology. He is not only a leader in medical research, but social progression and development in India.
An activist and scholar, Angela Davis was at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement and the Communist Party USA. She taught at UC-Santa Cruz, and has written prolifically on “feminism, African American studies, critical theory, social consciousness and prisons,” among others subjects.
We grew up with Cookie Monster, and the famous character from Sesame Street has taken up vegetables to address childhood obesity. Mr. Monster is a leader in entertainment and Epicureanism, and most importantly, he’s still a better speaker than Philip Rivers.

Head coach Braden Holloway is not happy about coming away with a loss but saw a lot of positives that the Pack can take away from the meet and build on for the ACCs. “I think we can do better,” Holloway said. “We had a lot of people step up today.

The Pack, however, was able to shift momentum back in its favor by holding the Deacons scoreless over the next three minutes of play. State held Wake Forest to 15 points for the remainder of the game. “Wake Forest has been very good offensively all season long,” Harper said. “I am really proud of our defensive effort today. I thought that was where this game was won.” N.C. State shot 38.6 percent from the floor, but the Pack was 55.6 percent from three-point range. State outrebounded the Deacons, 4936, for the afternoon. “We did not shoot well in the second half but we did a nice job attacking and getting to the rim,” Harper said. The Wolfpack will return

Following the timeout, senior forward Richard Howell led an offensive surge for the Wolfpack. Around the 10-minute mark, the Pack leading 25-24, Howell had 11 points while the rest of the team combined for 14. After a technical foul by Johnson on Warren, the crowd at PNC roared to life — and so did junior forward C.J. Leslie. Leslie was yet again the Pack’s top performer, scoring eight points in the final nine minutes of the first half. Leslie finished the game with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Purvis closed the half with an emphatic SportsCenter top10 worthy put-back dunk off a Leslie miss. A confident Wolfpack group went into the locker room ahead, 40-34.

had zero concern with Len’Nique Brown,” head coach Kellie Harper said. “I am very confident with her ability.” Junior center Markeisha Gatling scored 10 points and led the team with nine rebounds. State began the game strong, scoring 13 points before the Demon Deacons made a basket. At the midway point of the first half, State held an 18 point lead with Kastanek accounting for half of the Pack’s points. “We have been working so well as a team lately,” Kastanek said. “We have grown and learned so much from playing that I do not think anyone can throw something at us that we have not seen.”
The N.C. State men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams fell to North Carolina Saturday on Senior Day, the last meet of the regular season, despite breaking multiple pool and school records and several top-10 marks in school history at the Willis R. Casey Natatorium. The No. 22 men’s team fell to the 16th-ranked Tar Heels, 159.50-140.50, while the Wolfpack women lost to No. 14 UNC, 157-142.

Wojciechowski finished a full second ahead of the next closest swimmer to win the event for the Wolfpack. Another freshman stepped up for the Pack Saturday.

Continuing the trend, freshman Christian McCurdy won the 200-meter breakstroke by setting a new school record at 1:46.92 in the 200-meter butterfly. Junior Jake Matysek grabbed the pool record and the fifth fast-

The N.C. State women’s basketball team (11-12, 3-8 ACC) defeated Wake Forest (10-12, 3-7) Sunday afternoon at Reynolds Coliseum, 64-55. The Lady Wolfpack earned its third conference win in the last four games after dropping its first seven games against ACC opponents. The team played without junior guard Myisha GoodwinColeman, who injured her left ankle in practice Friday. State was led by senior guard Marissa Kastanek who scored 23 points and grabbed eight rebounds in 39 minutes of action.
Kastanek made eight of her 16 shots, including three of five shots from three-point range. “The coaches, over the past couple of practices, have put a big emphasis on assist-passes, and that plays a big role,” Kastanek said. “If I can get open for just a split second and the pass is perfect, that helps me get my shot up.” Sophomore guard Krystal Barrett added 14 points for the Pack, tying her season high against Elon in December. Redshir t sophomore g ua rd Len’Nique Brown, who started in place of Goodwin-Coleman, also played 39 minutes and had four points and nine assists, the latter a team-leading statistic. “Knowing Myisha [GoodwinColeman] was not going to play, I
