IN BRIEF Student dives into seep research Wake County cuts schools from receiving Title I dollars
Wake County has plans to scale back the number of elementary schools in the district that receive federal funding to help low-income students. In addition, Wake County will cut the amount of money schools receive per child from the same program. Under the change, which will begin this fall, some schools will receive less funding from Title I and some will receive no money at all. The change indicates only schools with at least 45 percent of lowincome students will receive federally subsidized lunches and have access to the more than $20 million Title I funds the district receives from the federal government each year. Fifty-nine schools in Wake County receive Title I funds and use the money for various purposes, including hiring and training extra staff and buying new computers. According to school administrators, the change is a result of the rising number of low-income students in Wake County and a need to reallocate Title I money to schools with the highest amount of need.

This summer while many students will make a vacation to the beach, Doreen McVeigh will make her vacation in the submarine, Alvin, the deepest-diving manned submersible in the United States. McVeigh is a Ph.D. student studying the connectivity of organisms residing in the methane seeps of deep-sea regions. She described connectivity as the exchange of how organisms move from population A to population B and contribute to the genetic pools of different populations.
“We’re looking at that in the deep sea, and the organisms that we study are sessile which means they can’t move in their adult phase, so it’s only during that early larval stage that they can disperse and leave one population and find a single habitat in one area,” McVeigh said. McVeigh’s research is targeted at methane seep sites in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico area. The bulk of the organisms collected in the area are chemosynthetic, which means that they do not use the sun to make their energy. Instead these organisms use the chemically rich waters that are filled with hydrocarbons, healthy
amounts of methane, and sulfides that seep through the cracks of the earth’s crust. According to McVeigh, research in how these organisms interact is crucial for understanding the ocean system and how to best conserve it. “In regards to the deep sea, there is a lot of activity with deep sea mining and oil and gas expansion which is even happening over our coast,” McVeigh said. “That is the next frontier of energy and extraction, and we don’t know where most of the methane seeps are, but they do tend to be along continental margins, but we haven’t been able to understand fully what is going on.”

Carly Fiorina says she is likely running for president
Former Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina said the likelihood she will be running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 are “higher than 90 percent.” While speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Fiorina said she is very likely to enter the race and will officially announce the decision in late April or early May. The 2010 California gubernatorial candidate said she could appeal to voters with a “deep understanding of how the economy actually works, having started as a secretary and become the chief executive of the largest technology company in the world.” SOURCE: The Washington Post

Preserving the resources is one of McVeigh’s top priorities. “We need to make sure there are measures in place to protect these extremely valuable and extremely old ecosystems,” McVeigh said. This research, although it centers on the deep sea, has applicability in oceanic areas that are not in the deep sea, and it is especially useful within the fisheries and oceanic wildlife economy. “The beauty of it is that this could easily cross over to more coastal areas, so if you’re looking at commercially valuable shellfish and other types of commercially valuable fish such as red snapper or grouper,

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, NC State’s University Theatre is performing a rendition of “Antigone,” the first play the theater has produced. “The Burial at Thebes” offers a new-age translation of Sophocles’ “Antigone,” which depicts a timely exploration into the conflict between those who affirm the individual’s human rights and those who must protect the state’s security. “It is a new version of ‘Antigone’,” said John McIlwee, the director of University Theatre. “Everything is not exact because we wanted something that was a bit more accessible to the audience, but the whole story is there.” “The Burial at Thebes” is very much in keeping with “Antigone” in terms of the structure of the play, and the confrontations between the main characters of Antigone and Creon, according to Mia Self, the assistant director of University Theatre. “The story of Antigone is still very relevant today, 400 years later,” Self said. “We listen to the arguments from politicians about why we choose to go to war. We ask why things happen, and we listen to the news and hear about things like Ferguson and the Chapel Hill shootings. We look to put these things into some kind of context, and all of the sudden, the words of Sophocles seem to have a real present feel.” McIlwee said the play’s ongoing relevance has prompted the theater to produce adaptations of “Antigone” before. However, University Theatre chose to perform “The Burial at Thebes” to celebrate its 50th anniversary because the rendition is in direct correlation with the theater’s first-ever performance.

Panoramic Dance Concert captures human emotion Sarah Keener Staff Writer
NC State’s Panoramic Dance Project presented its annual spring concert in Titmus Theatre this weekend, featuring a variety of diverse dances with seven compositions aiming to illustrate a range of human emotions on stage. Though the company places an emphasis on modern dance, the panoramic concert also incorporated influences from Bhangra, Capoeira, African, jazz and hiphop styles of dance and featured
choreography from NC State faculty members, guest artists and panoramic students. “Being that the name of our company, Panoramic, entails a wide view of styles within one dance company, it was awesome to truly be able to depict this in our spring concert, and to show more of how versatile we can be as a group,” said Rebecca Anderson, a senior member of the company studying psychology.

The research can help identify areas that may need to be protected as well as help identify populations that may be sources of larvae in order to protect them. “If we don’t we could lose that larval input over time,” McVeigh said. McVeigh’s project is multiinstitutional, working with Duke University and University of Oregon with the research.

With this, researchers can identify new sites and levels of connectivity, and use population genetics to see if the model matches the ocean. McVeigh earned her masters at Hood College where she found a love of working with marine life and doing fieldwork with stingray populations around the Chesapeake Bay. During her project, she had to design her own experiments, mobilize a field team and develop creativity methods for safely catching, trapping and testing stingrays without killing them. She decided to earn her doctorate at NC State after attending a presentation by NC State professor Dave Eggleston at a benthic ecology conference.

saw potential in all of us that we didn’t know we had.” Members said the most difficult component of preparing for the concert was the injury of a senior dancer, Corinne Canavarro, who injured her leg and was originally cast in nearly all of the dances. The dancers committed to extra rehearsal hours to replace Canavarro and had to change the choreographic structure of some of the pieces, according to Mullins. “She was in every dance but one, so we had to rework all of the pieces in two rehearsals,” said Jenna DelSignore, a dancer and junior studying business administration. “Corinne is an incredibly passionate and inspiring dancer, and we were devastated not to have her on stage with us. It was stressful, but in the end we pulled it off.” The seven pieces performed utilized props, lighting, technology and costuming such as choreographer Autumn Mist Belk’s “The Nature of Southern Legends,” which featured a screen behind the dancers showing video of beach and water scenery while sounds of waves drifted in and out. The piece also featured selections from writer and poet Jessica Temple to implement a shift in

McVeigh’s work since then has attracted the attention of many groups around campus including the University Scholars, and she was able to share a presentation of her research with them on March 23. “I thought the research she was doing was awesome,” said Maggie DeWeese, a freshman studying biological sciences. “She did a great job showing us that college is a time to explore new ideas and passions, and I think she was a prime example of what could happen when someone tries something new.” Lindsay Clontz, a freshman studying zoology, found McVeigh’s talk about her graduate work with stingrays inspiring as well. “I thought it was encouraging that she was able to receive such a unique opportunity to
mood as the videos changed and to acknowledge different memories of growing up in the South. The three dancers, clad in water-themed dresses of blue, green and white, portrayed the rolling and lulling of ocean tides and the repetition of rowing through water. “The biggest reward for me was not just being able to perform on stage, but being able to show a sense of purpose in every dance, and being able to resonate that to an audience,” said Anderson, who danced in “Southern Legends.” “Algun Dia,” a duet choreographed by Matthew Horton, featured music from Felipe Pirela and Tom Waits in which the dancers wore plain clothing to place emphasis on their flowing movements. The two dancers moved together as one unit and while dancing separately, moved in a complementary way to engage each other’s negative space. In a Capoeira dance that included acrobatic elements, the choreography allowed for physically impressive transitions. Acrobatic elements included one dancer wrapping around another before being lifted overhead; it concluded with a more modern ending to the piece where one dancer exited and the other continued dancing in circles with upraised arms alone on stage. The dance highlighted the emotional context of being connected with someone and then losing them, according to DelSignore. Other pieces featured in the concert were

Lee Kuan Yew: Western values or Asian values? B
y the virtue of his pragmatism in the economy and strong-arm methods in politics, Singapore’s success story has owed a lot to the founding father Lee Kuan Yew, who died on March 23. Americans might know more about Fidel Castro, and perhaps even Kim II Sung, than they do of Lee Kuan Yew. All three leaders are considered dictators who dominated their respective Ziyi nations for more than Mai half a century. But their Staff Columnist legacies are radically different. Fidel Castro and Kim II Sung left the people of Cuba and North Korea with poverty, desperation and isolated from the rest of the world. What Lee left to Singaporeans is a city-state renowned for its prosperity, cleanliness and order. Lee’s experience of turning a small island into an economic engine in the Asian Pacific has been greatly touted by leaders around the world. “The Singapore Story” has become a tantalizing topic for scholars who study institutions, politics and economics. The story creates the impression that one can achieve economic success without the support of the democratic system and freedom, because Singapore’s government gives very limited freedom in many aspects to its citizens and harshly cracks down on dissidents. However, this isn’t entirely correct. Lee Kuan Yew once championed his ideal as “Asian values,” a unique approach to bringing his country success by finding alternatives to the West’s path to freedom and democracy. Few knew what such “Asian values” meant, but Lee’s actions during his political career demonstrated that he was more in favor of Western policies and culture than he claimed to be. As a brilliant student, he attended the London School of Economics and graduated from Cambridge with First-Class honors in law. Though Lee publically embraced traditional Chinese values, in private he completely rejected the Chinese culture and despised Chinese traditions. In spite of being of Chinese descent, he rarely spoke Mandarin and did not learn it until he began dealing with the Chinese government. It is also virtually unknown by most
Americans that Lee was responsible for eradicating Chinese education in Singapore between the 1960s and 1980s. According to a paper by Van der Kroef published in The China Quarterly (1964), Lee expressed concerns over Singapore’s Nanyang University, then a college where courses were instructed in Mandarin. Lee forced schools funded by private philanthropies to teach more English than Chinese. “Extinction awaits Chinese schools unless they teach more English,” as one editorial report in Malaysia’s leading daily puts it. Lee was a prophet at this point. His intention of emphasizing English education was to build a labor force that can communicate with the West thus keeping the economy open and energetic. In today’s Singapore, English is the most widely used and dominating official language in the country. Mandarin is also one of the four official languages, but has far less influence in the business and political level. While publicly appealing to communist China’s leaders after the 1990s, Lee was by any measure a ruthless leader who persecuted, ousted and jailed thousands of communists shortly after he took office as prime minister. The fact that he was dictator did not mean that he was a friend of other authoritarian regimes and his far-sighted and draconic method to communism has won Singapore a peaceful period to develop a free market economy. His economic policy was no comparison to the colony’s former ruler Great Britain. He acknowledged that if his country adopted the welfare policy that has been introduced in the United Kingdom, it would zap the economy’s strength. Lee’s thoughts and experiences have greatly inspired leaders in authoritarian states. His approach has had a profound influence on China’s communist leaders who always want to emulate Lee’s strategy to build a prosperous state curtailing freedom and democracy. Ironically, few of them know that Lee was once a tough anti-communism leader. No matter how Lee claimed rejecting the West and promoted so-called “Asian values” in the public, it’s a baseless propaganda. What he did was force Singapore to be a more westernized and civilized place under the name of “Asian values” so that he could take a tough approach to implement his policy.

The difference between being alone and lonely L
ast summer, a favorite band of mine was playing in Lincoln Theatre. I had planned to attend with a friend who lives in Wilmington, but a few days before the concert he told me he wouldn’t be able to make it. I immediately scanned my contact list to find someone who would be willing to take his spot. Turns out, no one was that excited to cough up $20 for a band they didn’t know. A few hours before the concert was set to start, I still had no game plan. The idea of going to a concert Estefania alone was not only foreign, but also Castrodaunting. Vazquez Well, I thought, it can’t be all that Assistant bad. So there I went, on my very Opinion Editor first solo concert adventure with a nervous stomach and clammy hands. In the Atrium and at Talley, those eating alone make sure others know that while they may be dining alone at that moment, they are not in fact alone in the world. Laptops out, phones on tables, anything to avoid the sad and pitying glance from those surrounded by others. It’s remarkable how everyone seems to have something pressing to do on their phones in the minutes before class starts. We are set on seeming connected to others at all times. All this is unnecessary. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being alone. Perhaps we are afraid others will see being alone as a representation of our day-to-day lives, that we are always alone because no one cares about us. Or maybe it signals that something must be awfully wrong with our personhood if no one is willing to share common space with us. With a thousand and one ways to remain in
contact with the world, to be disconnected at any point now seems to be some taboo thing of the past. We are expected and trained to answer calls during meals, to dine at fancy restaurants only in the company of others, to respond to business emails on the weekends, to watch the latest movies with a crowd, to bring in New Year’s with a big party, to take a date to the prom and to update our profile picture on Facebook after big life events. To not partake in the socially acceptable forms of these occurrences marks one as a loner in need of a pal or two. But being alone is not the same thing as being lonely. Being alone means being OK with the only company guaranteed to never part ways with you: yourself. And because this is so, it is probably best one gets comfortable with oneself. Being alone is not being afraid to allow your mind to wander in thought without interruption. It is allowing yourself to reflect without outside influence. It is being able to simply exist in a moment without others. If one is not able to do so, life begins to revolve solely on perception and soon enough one’s reality is only based and formed around the realities of others and that is simply no way to live. Turns out, watching Fitz and The Tantrums playing live is just as wonderful when enjoyed alone as when in a group. Take time to be alone and allow others the freedom to do the same without judgment. Have a meal on your own, go for a stroll by yourself or enjoy your favorite band’s concert unaccompanied. One doesn’t have to be loneliest number that you ever do if you grow to enjoy your own company.
Racial discourse in 21st-century America I
t is easy to say that race is not a problem when, for you, it never has been. Great strides have been made in American race relations since the end of the Daniel abomination that was slavery. Root Yet, one need look no further Guest Columnist than the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, to see that racial prejudices still influence people’s actions. However, it would be reductionist, and frankly unfair, to say that the problem is that the police in Ferguson are simply racists. Rather, the problem is a system of oppression that causes people subconsciously to view certain races in certain ways. The problem cannot be placed at an individual level. Michael Brown was not simply murdered by a police officer; he was also murdered by the culture in the United States that equates black with crime. Racism in 21st century America has a new guise and new characteristics. It is far less overt than it was a century ago. It takes careful inspection and consideration to notice the systemic ways that political minorities are suppressed and segregated. It has become one of those topics that people ignore, and in so doing they come to assume erroneously that
it does not exist. The issue is out of sight, and therefore out of mind. It is now more in vogue to say that people are far more separated by class than race. There is merit in this argument, but look at how class is determined. When the modern class structure was developed, who was at the bottom and who was at the top? If one wants to see the racial makeup of classes, one need only look at where the respective classes live. Although there has been some change recently, since the suburbanization of the 1950s, white middle- and uppermiddle-class people have migrated to artificial, homogenized communities. Meanwhile, the lower-income, largely racial minority people have been left to the poverty-stricken inner cities. This is a class division, but it cannot be separated from its racial components. One cannot help but laugh when one hears white people complaining about reverse discrimination. They proclaim that, in 20 years, whites will no longer make up the majority of Americans, and this prophecy may very well come true. However, if one looks at the world population, white men only make up about 2 percent. Yet it is everyone else who is called a minority.

This perplexity is because the terms majority and minority do not refer simply to numbers, but rather to power. White men hold the majority of power in the U.S. and in the world. The legacy of the West dominating the world and white men dominating the governments of the West has created a world where a small numerical minority rules over a world where, as George Orwell put it in “Animal Farm,” “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” Regardless of the shifting demographics, white men will hold the majority of wealth, power and rights until the system changes drastically. As Victor Villanueva says in his article “Blind: Talking about the New Racism,” the common tropes of color blindness and individualism serve only to conceal the racial problems in the U.S. Just as admitting one has a problem is the first step toward solving it, recognizing that racism exists and engaging in open discourse over the issue is the only way that the problem may be ameliorated. Yet, it can seem very hard to go against the mainstream culture by taking exceptions to or pointing out instances of oppressive or discriminatory language. No one wants to think that he or she is a racist. And any attempt at

redressing the everyday language of oppression would undoubtedly come across as an accusation of bigotry. According to the sociologist Allan Johnson, “Gandhi once said that nothing we do as individuals matters, but that it’s vitally important that we do it anyway…no individual leaf on the tree matters…But collectively, the leaves are essential to the whole tree…without leaves, the tree dies. So, leaves matter and they don’t, just as we matter and we don’t.” We cannot alone succeed in creating a cultural awareness that shifts the paradigm away from ignorance toward a cognizance that there is still systemic oppression in the U.S. But we must fight against the apathy and resignation that can all too easily end action. Even a complex problem can have a simple solution. As NC State psychology professor Rupert Nacoste said in a TEDx talk, ending oppressive and stereotypical language may be as simple as stopping the conversation and saying to the culprit, “I’m sorry, but I am very uncomfortable with that kind of language. I find it offensive; it hurts me.”

‘Burial at Thebes’ puts modern twist on classic The Burial at Thebes University Theatres
Mary Anna Rice Assistant Opinion Editor
Seamus Heaney’s 2004 reimagining of “Antigone,” “The Burial at Thebes,” puts less emphasis on the plights of the titular protagonist and is more politically minded. In fact, while Antigone is our protagonist by nature, “The Burial at Thebes” follows the deterioration of King Creon, the only character who changes throughout the narrative. Successful revitalizations of past works rely on successful translation. Part of why “The Burial at Thebes” resonates so strongly with modern audiences is its re-contextualization in light of the Bush administration. Though the “Bushims” of Creon’s character and the political loyalties of the play aren’t quite subtle, they provide for a poignant subtext that is especially relevant given today’s inclination toward casual warfare. The play follows the procession of events after Antigone, the doomed daughter of the blinded and exiled Oedipus, honors her brother Polyneices after he dies a traitor to his country. Creon, having sentenced Polyneices to rot in the open due to his apostasy, sentences Antigone to death for her own disobedience and disloyalty. Unlike modern media where we generally see a lack of consequences, in “The Burial at Thebes,” we see consequences exaggerated to brutal extremes. NC State University Theatre’s production of “The Burial at Thebes” is a dismal one, stressing the drama and gumption characteristic of Greek plays. One finds their seat while stealing glances at a decaying city. As you wait for the play to begin, a sense of

isolation is forced upon you through the dim, occasionally f lickering lighting and the fuzzy recordings of political, wartime messages playing overhead. The set is grey-washed, modern, broken, a mixture of illusory cement and the metal skeletons of buildings. Structures are halfdestroyed, visually highlighting the struggle that preceded the play’s events. The set provides for great lighting. The largest set piece—grey steps that have been partially demolished—takes center stage, allowing for the actors’ shadows to be cast across it for dramatic effect. Beneath the plastic veneers covering the dystopian jungle gym pieces on each side of the stage are
bulbs that waver and blink in response to the events as they proceed. The abuse of power is a primary theme of “The Burial at Thebes,” which the play emphasizes through the main conf lict between Antigone (Natalie Sherwood) and Creon (Philipp Lindemann). “The Burial at Thebes” maintains less grey area than the original play. The two bark at each other furiously, Antigone embodying rightness and Creon obviously wrong. One can chart the shifts in dynamics throughout the play by studying who is standing on the pedestal, and who dwells below, listening. We observe the differences between the wealthy and the impov-
erished, as well. The “have-nots” (Antigone, the members of Chorus ) wear patched and torn clothing, while the “haves” (Creon, Haemon, Eurydice) are well-dressed to emphasize their prosperity. Creon’s tie clip glimmers while Antigone’s clothing appears shabbier by the minute. Sherwood dons a permanent scowl as Antigone, a perfect expression of the character whose brash determination seals her fate. She is vicious and often speaks facing forward, as though she is condemning the audience for her personal tragedy. She lashes out frequently against those who oppose her; she knows she is right, and allows no excuses. Lindemann as Creon in his red tie and rash words could only be more of a representation of George W. Bush if he glazed his words with a Texan accent. That is to say, he manages the role well, as this is how Heaney wrote Creon—as the impulsive leader who has too much power and doesn’t want to admit it. The production, as a whole, is thoroughly bleak and relentless in its cynicism. With little to no breaks of whimsy, the tone is rather overwhelming. Additionally, while the effects are made to instill a sense of austerity, the moans that come occasionally from behind the set pieces can be distracting at best and ridiculous at worst. They interrupt the experience that University Theatre’s “The Burial at Thebes” provides, and force viewers to remember that they are, in fact, watching a play. University Theatre’s latest production shines a harsh light on the power dynamics present in contemporary politics by successfully putting an ancient conf lict in a modern context.
Despite star cast, ‘Get Hard’ gets limited laughs Get Hard
Warner Bros. Pictures
Kevin Schaefer Associate Features Editor
If the title is any indication, the sexual humor within “Get Hard” rivals that of “Superbad” and “Knocked Up.” That isn’t to say that this one is funnier than those films, but it is relentless with its irreverent jokes. Like countless other comedies, “Get Hard” proves that pairing two famous comedians together doesn’t guarantee a good movie. While not without its laughs, this Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart team up is a forgettable raunch-fest that’s far from hilarious. The movie follows the story of James King (Ferrell), a millionaire financial trader whose life turns upside down when he is convicted of a fraud scandal and sentenced to ten years in prison. With only 30 days to get his affairs together, James turns to his acquaintance Darnell Lewis (Hart), the manager of a car-cleaning service in the garage of James’ firm, to prepare him for prison life in exchange for $30,000. What James doesn’t know is that Darnell has never been to prison. His only connection is his criminal cousin Russell (T.I.). That said, both James and Darnell
learn together about the brutality of prison life in a bromance adventure filled with slapstick antics and absurd espionage. Despite an amusing premise, the film’s humor is both bland and overtly reliant on its casting. Had any lesser comedians been placed in the lead roles, “Get Hard” would’ve been a complete flop. Fortunately, Ferrell and Hart are entertaining enough to distract audiences from the script’s poorly written jokes. Although their screen chemistry is solid, the film as a whole is about as funny as any of the other fifty Hart movies that have come out in the last year. Producer and longtime Ferrell-collaborator Adam McKay had a hand in the story, but the film might have benefitted from him penning the script himself. Instead, this job was lef t to director and “Tropic Thunder” writer Etan Cohen and “Key and Peele” writers Ian Roberts and Jay Martel. Cramming every racial and sexual stereotype imaginable into the screenplay, the writers end up trying too hard to make viewers laugh. James’ trophy wife Alissa (Alison Brie) is an airhead, his father-in-law Martin (Craig T. Nelson) is the bad guy and the reason he assumes Darnell has been to prison is because he looks like a thug. Still, the film does manage to

provide social commentary on the dichotomy between lower and higher classes while playing on the stereotypes that stem from it. Early on in the film when Darnell asks James for money, James gives a speech on the American Dream, saying that whether we’re born “rich or poor, white or miscellaneous,” hard work is required of all. Moments like this provide the
film with just enough cleverness to make it purposeful, but not enough to garner non-stop laughs. As Cohen’s directorial debut, the f ilm falls somewhere between smart satire and mindless humor. At one point, James asks Darnell why he went to prison, and Darnell rattles off the plot of “Boyz in the Hood.” The joke is that since James is a rich, white man he’s never seen any black movies and
because of it, believes every word his friend says. Cohen’s visual aesthetic is more creative than a number of other recent comedies, serving as a complement to the film’s character appeal. Yet in spite of its accomplishments, “Get Hard” is ultimately a mediocre comedy and fortunately runs only two hours.

State falls to Cards in Sweet 16 NC State softball wins series against Georgia Tech Senior pitcher Emily Weiman led the NC State softball team to two victories against Georgia Tech this weekend in Atlanta, winning the series 2-1 and posting the Wolfpack’s first series win against the Yellow Jackets in program history. With her performance on the mound, Weiman broke the program record for most wins in a career with 91, and helped State run-rule the Yellow Jackets 10-0 in the final game of the series. This was Weiman’s 14th complete game of the season and fourth shutout. With the win, the Wolfpack improved its overall record on the season to 19-13 with a 6-3 conference record. SOURCE: GOPACK.COM
Pack baseball extends win streak with series sweep over Pitt The NC State baseball team (17-9, 6-5 ACC) swept its weekend series against Pitt, improving its win-streak to six games. The Wolfpack used a five-run burst in the second inning to rally past the Panthers, eventually winning the contest 9-2 Sunday afternoon at Doak Field. Andrew Knizner led State on the day, going 4-for-4 at the plate with a pair of RBIs. The Pack won its first two meetings against Pitt by scores of 14-5 and 7-1, Friday and Saturday, respectively.

The clock struck midnight for the Cinderella of the NCAA Tournament, as the 8-seed NC State men’s basketball team fell to 4-seed Louisville 7565 in the teams’ Sweet 16 matchup Friday night. Though the Wolfpack fought blowfor-blow for 35 minutes, the Cardinals’ offense was too much to handle in the closing minutes of the game, using a late 14-3 run to put the game out of State’s reach. “Late in the game they made some plays,” head coach Mark Gottfried said. “Our zone helped us, helped us get back in the game, helped us take the lead, and they made a couple of tough shots there.” Much like in the Pack’s win over Louisiana State, it was an unlikely hero who stepped up for Cardinals in the final moments to seal the game. Freshman Anton Gill, a benchwarmer who had played just two minutes in the first two games of the tournament, scored seven of the first nine points of his team’s closing run, giving a spark to the Cardinals’ offense. “You’ve got to give him credit,” Gottfried said. “I think he’s averaging two points a game maybe, and he jumps up and gets seven at the most critical time of the game. That’s what the game’s about. Players step up and make some plays, and he certainly did for this game.” Gill’s seven points were the Cards’ only bench points of the contest. Though it was the Louisville backcourt that eventually took the game in the end, junior Montrezl Harrell was the dominant force that kept his team alive during the course of the game. The big man scored 24 points and grabbed seven boards, dominating the interior and leading the Cards to

a 40-24 advantage in the paint. “They got a lot of points in the paint tonight,” Turner said. “That was one of the things that was difference from the first time we played.” In the two teams’ regular season meeting, Harrell was held to just seven points, and State’s big men BeeJay Anya and Abdul-Malik Abu combined for 15 points and 18 boards. On Friday, however, the Pack could not find much in the paint. Except for an outstanding performance off the bench from Kyle Washington—11 points in nine minutes—State was at a loss in the paint, reverting back to its old habits of living and dying by the three-point shot. Fortunately for State, the shots were falling. The Pack shot 9-for-20 from
long range, despite shooting just 22.9 percent in the team’s first two games of the tournament. However, when Louisville began its final run, State’s hot hand was extinguished, as the club failed to make a triple in the final four minutes of the game. Regardless of the way it ended, the 2015 season was a surprise success for the Pack, one that gives hope for a bright future. With only Turner and fellow seniors Desmond Lee and Staats Battle leaving the program, the State roster will return nearly all of its core rotation next season. The team will also get to see transfer Terry Henderson in action after sitting a year due to NCAA rules.
If nothing else, Gottfried believes his team will be hungrier for success in the upcoming season, as the team knows how good winning can feel. “The guys coming back for our team, this should be something that motivates them to work extremely hard in springtime and summer,” Gottfried said. “We tasted it. We tasted what it’s like to be in this situation, and now it’s got to be one of those where they should want it more.” The Pack will look to follow up on its strong 2015 campaign next season. Hopefully after this Sweet 16 berth, the AP won’t repeat its work from 2012 and give State the kiss of death: a top-five preseason ranking.
TRACK AND FIELD
Wolfpack runners host Raleigh Relays Taylor Peers Correspondent
Despite the bitter cold, rain and wind, the men and women of the NC State track and field team earned ACC qualifying marks and broke new personal bests this weekend. Raleigh Relays, the team’s only home meet of the outdoor season, encompassed two days of competition among college and high school participants at Paul Derr Track. “This is a great event for NC State University and the City of Raleigh,” head coach Rollie Geiger said. “We got through Friday in the rain and cold. We wanted to get ACC qualifying marks and place near what will normally get us to regionals. It is all preparation.” Preparation certainly paid off for the Wolfpack. The team has only just begun the outdoor season and has already secured 17 ACC qualifying marks. NC State junior Alexis Perry won the women’s 100-meter hurdles with a time of 13.17, a mark that ranks second both nationally and in school history. Perry went on to place first in the women’s long jump. The Durham native also ran with sophomores J’Den Williams and Paisley Simmons and freshman Tiana Patillo to win their heat and place second in the 4x100 women’s relay with a time of 46.75. On the men’s side, junior Jonathan Addison continued his high performance level, finishing third in the men’s 100-meter final with a new personal best of 10.49. “Jonathan Addison sprinted very well,” Geiger said. His teammate, sophomore Will Krehnbrink, placed fourth in men’s 400-meter final. In the field competitions, redshirt freshman Joshua Davis created a new personal best, as well as clinching an

ACC qualifying mark, with his hammer throw of 181’1.00.” Freshman Javonne Antoine finished second in the triple jump and recorded a new personal best of 40’6.25.” Distance running was certainly the Wolfpack’s strong suit at Relays. Redshirt senior Kenyetta Iyevbele placed third in the women’s 1500 meter, but it was the 5000 meter races that put the Pack on top. “That was probably the best 5000 we’ve ran in the program,” Geiger said. Wesley Frazier ran unattached for NC State and placed first, with redshirt sophomore Samantha George, junior Erika Kemp and senior Joanna Thompson right behind her at second, third and fifth, respectively. Frazier’s time, 15:45.31, was enough to break a record set in 2003 by UNCChapel Hill.
Frazier’s younger sister, Ryen, is a Wolfpack track and field commit and demonstrated her strength in the 3200 meter with an impressive time of 10:05.44. She held the lead for most of the race. Graham Crawford, a redshirt junior, placed second in the men’s 5000 meter with a time of 13:52.05, just .70 behind the leader. “Everything is very competitive these days,” Geiger said. “We had a good night on Friday, but it is really about what happens at the ACC championships in mid-May. We are running in Tallahassee, which is a challenge for distance runners. Regionals are in Jacksonville, so the conditions there will certainly not be the same conditions we had here Friday night. They have some challenges coming up.” The weather certainly plays a key role when it comes to outdoor season.
“It’s very difficult in the sprints and jumps with the rain and cold,” Geiger said. “We had to cancel the pole vault until the next day. I watched one of the distance throwers fall in the circle. It’s a very challenging situation for some of the events.” The Relays saw a number of unattached or redshirt competitors. There are a number of reasons for this, but Geiger explains it’s simply for the experience and not a lack of talent. “At times, we’ll redshirt just for developmental purposes,” Geiger said. “A home meet like this where they don’t have to travel, no expenses have been paid by the athlete to participate, gives them an opportunity to race and those opportunities are very few.” The team will split into different groups to participate in next weekend’s meets in Jacksonville, Florida, Palo Alto, California and High Point.

Pack places eighth at National Championships Justine Turley Staff Writer
Throughout the season, the NC State men’s swimming and diving team has continuously broken records and made school history, and its NCAA Championship appearance was no different. The men’s team finished 8th overall this past weekend in Iowa City, Iowa, marking its highest NCAA finish in 37 years. “I have an unbelievable pride in our men, fighting back after the first day and the first relay and getting to the point where we finished on such a great note,” head coach Braden Holloway said. “That was the most gratifying thing, watching how much they kept fighting for what they wanted, which was to be a top-ten program.” During the course of the three-day meet, the Wolfpack earned 26 All-American mentions and finished with three runner-up team performances. This eighth place title ties the program’s fifth-highest finish, the last top-eight finish coming in 1976 with coach Don Easterling at the helm. The Pack dealt with a tough start on the first night with the 200 freestyle relay disqualification. “They came together. It’s not the end of the world. We had a long way to go and a lot of great opportunities left and I think they just put it behind them and moved forward with it,” Holloway said. In preliminaries on Thursday, the squad of

junior Simonas Bilis, freshman Ryan Held, sophomore Andreas Schiellerup and senior David Williams was disqualified for a false start, but after an appeal, reclaimed the first seed in the 200 free relay. Unfortunately for the Pack, history was doomed to repeat itself in the finals and the foursome disqualified again. NC State struggled with a similar situation in the 2014 NCAA Championship when the 200 free relay team was also disqualified in preliminaries. Despite the unfortunate disqualification, the men’s team did not lose momentum or motivation, and continued to fight for the ultimate goal.

“All of us were ready to score more points,” Bilis said, which is exactly what the team accomplished with the help of their coaches and several leaders on the team. Senior John Newell understood the pressures of the NCAA meet and looked to help his teammates. “I just wanted to be a leader for these guys and lead them through one of the most exciting years we’ve had in a long time,” Newell said. Freshman Hennessey Stuart had a very successful NCAA debut and earned seventh overall in his 200-yard backstroke where he earned All-

American honors with a time of 1:40.39. Fellow teammate and freshman Anton Ipsen also found success when he finished his 1,650 free in record-breaking fashion. Not only did his time of 14:13.16 grant him All-American honors, but it also shattered his previous school record by 5 seconds. The team supported each other through the ups and downs of the meet. “It was electric, and an incredible environment. We were all very excited for each event and we were always cheering for each other,” Ipsen said after the finals session on Friday. Bilis, who steadily conquered the freestyle sprint events during the regular season, continued to do so on the national stage. The Lithuanian native received three All-American mentions and broke three school records during the meet. Bilis finished second overall in the 100 free with a time of 41.78 and placed fourth in the 50. Held took home sixth in the 100 free consolation heat and also earned first team All-American with his 42.75 finish. “It feels amazing,” Bilis said about his runnerup title. “It’s hard to believe. NCAA is one of the fastest meets in the world and being second in it is just crazy and feels so good.” Held and Bilis were also both part of the 400 freestyle relay that took home second place overall. Sophomore Soren Dahl and Williams joined them on the podium Saturday night. This relay broke the school and conference record, received All-American honors, and tied for the program’s highest relay finish at the NCAA.
