Three shot dead in Chapel Hill

Three people were shot dead in a neighborhood of mostly rental apartments and modest townhouses near the Friday Center/Finley Golf Course Tuesday night. The names of those shot are not being released until the next of kin are notified. Police responded to a gunshot report at 5:15 p.m. and all were pronounced dead at the scene. The Chapel Hill Police Department is questioning a person of interest and has no belief that that there is an ongoing public threat. Late Tuesday police spoke with members of the victim’s family in the neighborhood clubhouse, but declined to comment on the details of the crime. SOURCE: The News & Observer

The United States will remain invested in the Middle East for the long haul due to its economic interest and investments in the region, according to Peter Howard, a regional affairs strategic analyst in the Bureau of Near East Affairs and a “diplomat in residence.” Howard gave a lecture on the political situation in the Middle East with a focus on American foreign policy and the ongoing conflict with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) on Tuesday in Park Shops. “ISIL is the most significant issue we’re facing today,” Howard said. ISIL rose from the remnants of Al Qaeda and is flourishing as a result of the political and economic conflict occurring in Iraq and Syria. Howard claimed this happened due to corrupt government institutions and politics in Iraq, as well as the conflict with the Syrian Civil War. “The political dysfunction is so high that it’s hard to create the reforms needed to fix it,” Howard said. “Political reform is dangerous to authoritarian regimes who don’t want to cede their power.” The corruption in Middle Eastern governments caused a lack of private sector jobs in Iraq, leading to an unemployment rate of 25-30 percent in young people, who make up more than 50 percent of the population in the Middle East, according to Howard. The weakness in Middle Eastern government has led to the breakdown in many parts of society,

The Office of Information Technology is hoping to reach out to students about data privacy month, which takes place from Jan. 28 to Feb. 28. OIT has a series of videos online to help students keep themselves safe in all forms of online activity.

Data privacy month encourages online safety Marcus Blyden Correspondent

The Office of Information and Technology (OIT) is celebrating Data Privacy Month, which lasts until February 28. “We are encouraging people to go out and familiarize themselves with ways that they can help protect their own data, as well as the data they

may come in contact with,” said Stan North Martin, director of OIT Outreach. Data Privacy Month is a way of reminding students to check their privacy settings on social media networks and informing people to be more aware of how they are sharing information they put on the Internet, according to Martin. “Awareness is one of the big-

gest weapons to preventing a breach in security,” said Leo Howell, assistant director for IT Policy & Compliance. Martin discourages students from sharing online information with anybody, even their parents. “There are growing cases of identity theft that are taking place,” Martin said.

Alumnus preserves and shares film history Alex Goodfred Staff Writer

Sprinting around the classroom in Riddick Engineering Laboratories, Skip Elsheimer is busy trying to set up for a screening of religious films for the Academic Study of Religions Club, lamenting how he failed to remember to bring a stand for his projector. Lining up the projector gives him some trouble, but it is a problem that is resolved with some effort. Elsheimer continues to buzz around, moving his rolling suitcase full of film reels and making sure everything works, all the while expressing his excitement about showing some of his preserved films. For nearly 20 years, Elsheimer has been collecting and showing

preserved films from decades past. Currently he has in his collection about 24,000 films, and the number continues to grow. “What’s happening now is people know what I do, so I get these phone calls- for example, I got this phone call from a national park in Philadelphia, and they said ‘hey, we have these films and we need to get rid of them; I don’t want to throw them out, and I see you collect films. Do you want them?’” Elsheimer said. “So I end up paying for shipping and then I get 20 more films. That happens probably every other month.” Elsheimer said his film collection started on accident. He used to collect surplus materials from the state, such as printing presses, CPR dummies and old video equipment. After he acquired an old film pro-

Carmichael renovations to begin in coming months Ian Grice Staff Writer

SPORTS Wolfpack looks to play spoiler

Carmichael Gymnasium will undergo a $7.6 million construction project from May until December to renovate locker rooms and expand the fitness center, all funded through student fees. The renovations are the second part of the Recreational Sports Master Plan in an effort to meet the recreation fitness and wellness needs of NC State students. The first part of the plan was the renovation of Carmichael Gym’s main entrance. The renovations will open up the hallways and allow people to walk freely without having to go through the intimidating long corridors, said Eric Hawkes, director of University Recreation. “One of the things that’s driving so much of these renovations is that our facility is not invit-

ing. It’s not very inclusive, and it’s kind of a scary place. We want to really be very purposeful with our design and our plans to really open it up,” Hawkes said. The men’s locker rooms will be reduced by 5,500 square feet in order to make space for a bigger cardio room. During peak times such as 6-9 a.m. and 4-5 p.m., there are not enough cardio machines, according to Hawkes. “If you walk into the facility at those times, you’ll see that you have to wait for equipment,” Hawkes said. After construction, the number of men’s lockers will be reduced from 1,300 to 1,130 lockers and the number of women’s lockers will be reduced from 850 to 620. Lockers will still be available during construction, however. There will be 18 additional cardio pieces coming

in that will join the 39 cardio pieces already in the cardio room. The room will also be rearranged to increase lightning. “Cardio is a huge priority for us moving forwards,” said Hawkes. The new machines will come with personal viewing screens where users can watch TV, go on the Internet and use apps to check Facebook or Twitter, all while working out. This will make working out more enjoyable and cause people to want to work out more often, according to William Craig, director of Strength and Conditioning. “We know our cardio right now is kind of outdated,” Craig said. “Not the machines - but the technology that goes into it.” However, not all machines will have personal viewing screens for those who don’t want the technology, according to Craig.

eiche Genger, a first-year veterinary resident in the poultry health management program, carries a supplemental feeder down the center aisle of the chick-filled teaching animal unit poultry house Tuesday morning. Genger conducted a study to determine if the lesions associated with femoral head necrosis, an osteopathology commonly associated with lameness in poultry, are being artificially induced by the necropsy techniques currently being used or if they are a result of pathologic changes in the metaphyseal region of the femur. “There is a lot of argument in the veterinary field if [these lesions] are truly indicative of femoral head necrosis or not because we find that samples submitted from the field that have been positively identified with femoral head necrosis to our laboratory here, and other diagnostic labs, histopathologically don’t indicate such lesions,” Genger said.

Elsheimer continued to attend auctions and purchase more and more of the reels and has turned his interest into a business. “I tour the United States showing these films for a variety of audiences, some who like to drink and watch films, some who are in conferences, some who do it for fun, do it for academics, what have you,” Elsheimer said.

Elsheimer estimates that there are about 20,000 in his house. Film preservation was not always something he saw himself doing- until he began his collection during his senior year of college, he was not aware that preservation of educational films was something people did. “I collect them because I thought they were funny [and] visually interesting, and then I kind of realized, huh, these are culturally kind of important because they capture at the time what was important to us and what scared us and what we wanted to fix and what we were aspiring toward and what were our dreams,” Elsheimer said. Elsheimer insists that often times watching one of the preserved films can give people a better idea of people’s beliefs and values in history than watching a show or movie on TV or in a theater, as those are fictionalized

narratives of life back then. During his last year as an undergraduate at NC State, Elsheimer began his collection. While taking a film class entitled Film as a Subversive Art, he gained a new perspective on the concept and usage of film as a medium. “The class was about films that were challenging films; challenging the concept of film making and film,” Elsheimer said. Elsheimer said he came to NC State looking to major in computer sciences; but halfway through pursuing his degree, he switched into the school of design. “Toward the end I was burning out on school, but I kept collecting films, and I started really watching and showing the films at the school of design for people,” he said. “People liked the films, they enjoyed them and I realized that, wow, this is kind of in-

teresting and important and I want to keep doing this and I enjoy it.” Today, Elsheimer is still collecting and showing, with some assistance. His intern Lucas Kessler, a junior studying English, has been working with him since last October. According to Kessler, through his internship he has learned the basics of handling, cleaning/repairing and digitizing film. Kessler has also discussed the future of archiving and exhibiting old films that are difficult and expensive to preserve. “[Elsheimer] is very knowledgeable and excited about what he does, but he’s also a really laid back guy,” Kessler said. “The atmosphere he creates in his archive is super relaxed- we get a lot done, but we’re always joking around.” Kessler says his daily tasks as an intern revolve around digitizing films with Elsheimer’s supervision, though most of the films he works with are ones that Elsheimer owns as opposed

to projects for clients. Currently, Elsheimer presents his work at Hunt Library on the third Friday of every month. “It’s great; they really get what I do,” Elsheimer said. “The actually have a collection of DVDs that I’ve made from my collection.” In addition to these resources, A/V Geeks has a website, avgeeks.com, where they have about 3,000 films online. He has also digitized films for archives in Harvard and Duke. “I didn’t know what it was; I just was like I want to do this, this is kind of interesting to me, and it turned into a business and profession,” Elsheimer said. “Sometimes it’s the passion, and it drives you, and you don’t know where it’s going to drive you, but if you are open to opportunities you might suddenly say, oh, you know what I can do this professionally and make a living, and that’s what I’ve done.”

The U.S. is not alone in creating counter-terrorism initiatives, according to Howard. “There is a worldwide coalition of nations to fight terrorism and deal with extremism cooperatively,” Howard said. “It’s an opportunity to make progress against the broader network of terrorism.” President Barack Obama laid out a five-part strategy, which can’t move forth without political activity in Iraq. “This strategy is happening with a

broad coalition of more than 60 nations,” Howard said. Those five steps are as follows: to provide military support in the Middle East, stop the flow of foreign fighters into Syria and Iraq and counter ISIL funding, which comes largely from smuggling and kidnapping. Addressing the humanitarian efforts is another step, as there are a large number of refugees and displaced people throwing off the regional stability in the Middle East. The last step is to

delegitimize ISIL’s ideology and propaganda on terrorism and violence. The strategy is happening with a coalition of more than 60 nations, according to Howard. “The broad and active nature of the coalition is to form working groups to address these five issues,” Howard said. “The struggle against ISIL isn’t just an Iraqi-U.S. issue.” Getting rid of ISIL will not be an easy task, however, according to Edward Critikos, a senior studying po-

litical science. “Tackling ISIL and the goal of stabilization once ISIL is ousted will prove very difficult for the U.S.,” Critikos said. “Being able to support a stable government while ensuring that all the different subgroups are represented will become one of the largest challenges of the U.S. – namely cooperating with the different sects to create and maintain a more stable government.”

Hawkes. All of the showers will be single-use lockable showers with an adjacent changing room. The changing rooms will be similar to those in department stores, Hawkes said. There will also be two singleuse, universal locker rooms. Patrons that don’t want to use either the men’s or women’s locker room will have a space with additional privacy with all the amenities of the fullsized locker room, according to Hawkes. “It allows us to be inclusive and provide you with privacy no matter who you are,” Hawkes said.

Two Olympic lifting platforms will also be added so patrons can partake in Olympic weightlifting, Craig said. During renovations, patrons will have to access the facility through the Aquatics Center entrance or the Cates Avenue entrance. University Recreation is hosting Carmichael Addition Visioning Sessions on Feb. 13 at 2 p.m., 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to ask students what they want in a recreational facility. “This is a student-driven initiative,” Hawkes said. “Student feedback is what’s driving this project.”

Remove Columbus Day from the calendar

{

ollowing the Student Senate’s motion to remove Columbus Day from the university’s calendars, it is now on the shoulders of the university’s officials to stand by the long overdue motion to honor the indigenous culture that is too often pushed to the side. Columbus Day has become an obsolete holiday, dragged into calendars only because it has yet to be challenged by the popular majority. Its defense that it is a celebration of the discovery of the Americas by Europeans is weak to say the least. Not only is it irrational to hail the conquistadors for discovering something that had existed for centuries,

The significance of the European newcomers cannot by any means be overlooked, but it can be reshaped to be more representative of the truth. Rather than celebrating Columbus and his fellow colonizers, it is time to celebrate the people upon whose foundation the U.S. has built, the people whose culture was trampled upon and is now only brought up in reference to those who stepped on it. The step to replace Columbus Day with the Indigenous Peoples’ Day is the first of many in recognizing the importance of paying dues to those living in the Americas long before Columbus and in apologizing for centuries of negligence.

Keep Saunders Hall to pay respect to Klan’s victims M

y message to UNC-Chapel Hill is simple: do not, under any circumstances, change the name of Saunders

Hall. William Saunders and the hall that bears his name are inextricably linked to UNC-CH’s past, and the deeds he carried out can never be undone. The stories of Saunders’ victims and the victims of others are inextricably linked Michael Helms to their aggressors, and we risk forgetting Staff Columnist these victims if we give silent sanctuary to those that committed violent acts against them. It was in secrecy that William Saunders’ Ku Klux Klan chapter could carry out lynchings and terroristic acts with impunity. Gov. William Holden challenged this impunity by declaring martial law in 1870, after which he brought many Klansmen to trial. The Klan’s expansive political reach succeeded in obstructing any sort of conviction, and Holden was subsequently impeached from office, which was a testament to the Klan’s vicious power. The State Legislature pardoned Holden in 2011, but too much of this chapter of North Carolina’s past remains untold and its victims forgotten. Sadly, there are still people in our society who are sympathetic to the Klan’s beliefs, and they are all too willing to see this chapter of the State’s past quieted. It’s true now, as it was true then, that silence is the Klan’s best friend. We, as citizens, can honor the past and present victims of racial violence by laying bare this ignoble chapter of North Carolina’s history. Instead of giving Klansmen the shelter of anonymity, we can dignify the countless victims of the Klan’s violence by keeping these aggressors and their violent acts in plain sight; a solemn reminder of a path we hope our society never walks again. By keeping these people in plain sight, the full extent of their victims’ suffering may be fully understood. In the somber reflection of the victims’ suffering, we free their spirits to rise up. And though the names of many of these victims may never be known, we may forever connect the name of William Saunders with their suffering by leaving his name in plain sight. In doing so, we condemn Saunders’ actions to a sentence far harsher than any court of law could impose. As is befitting of any institution that venerates the virtue of knowledge, I hope UNC-CH makes the decision to own this painful history as a part of its long and complex story, and I hope it leaves Saunders’ name on Saunders Hall as a reminder of the Klan’s numerous victims. The victims of the Klan’s violence deserve no less.

In defense of vulgar viewpoints R

acism, sexism and bigotry aren’t dead — they’re just in hiding. Internet anonymity has become the last bastion of hateful idiocy in our culture. It’s reminiscent of Ku Klux Klan members masking their faces behind white hoods. In the 90s, Klan members fought for the right to Chris hide their identities for Denning Staff Columnist fear of reprisal, harassment or losing their jobs due to their ideology. And reprisal is a very real possibility for those inclined toward online racism. A blog called Racists Getting Fired came online after the “Black Lives Matter” protests and sought to out racist Twitter users, many of whom were fired after their employers received calls from readers of the blog. The ability to hide behind anonymity brings out the worst in people—or, perhaps, the worst people—and the latest reminder of that is Yik Yak, the location-based bulletin board, smartphone application. UNC Chapel-Hill is considering blocking access to the app through campus Wi-Fi in response to hurtful comments posted on the platform. Such a ban would be purely symbolic, since students could still access the app through a mobile data connection. The racism and bigotry on Yik Yak is deplorable. But banning the platform, symbolically or otherwise, is the wrong

approach. The American Civil Liberties Union states that “Speech that deeply offends our morality or is hostile to our way of life warrants the same constitutional protection as other speech because the right of free speech is indivisible: When one of us is denied this right, all of us are denied. The protection of free expression must extend to people of all viewpoints, no matter how vulgar. The purpose of such a universal protection is to prevent the viewpoints of political minorities from being censored by political majorities. For many people, however, philosophical arguments do little to suture the wounds inflicted by hateful rhetoric. I realize it’s easy for me as a white, middleclass male to make this type of argument. It’s easy to overlook the emotional toll seeing that kind of vitriol must take. But there’s another, more practical argument for protecting free expression, and it starts with a practical problem in banning offensive speech. As the ACLU also states, “College administrators may find speech codes attractive as a quick fix, but as one critic put it: ‘Verbal purity is not social change.’ Codes that punish bigoted speech treat only the symptom: The problem itself is bigotry.” Banning hate speech or platforms on which it’s spewed doesn’t get rid of racism, sexism or bigotry. Louis Brandeis, a former associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, wrote “sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants” in reference to governmental

transparency, but the analogy is just as strong as it relates to hate speech. How can we address underlying attitudes of racism, sexism and bigotry if we constantly attempt to keep them in the shadows? The Westboro Baptist Church picketing soldiers’ funerals with its message of hate and intolerance is certainly hurtful to some and offensive to most. As a result, people of all walks, of diverse political and social views, came together to rebuke such views. Being reminded of the existence of hatred has the ancillary effect of starting a dialogue in which we have the opportunity to stand up against ideologies we find repulsive. The best revenge against hate speech, as the ACLU puts it, is “more speech— not less.” Professors at Colgate University recently took this advice to heart, addressing their own campus’ Yik Yak woes with a barrage of supportive messages on the platform, each signing his or her name to every post. Changing attitudes takes time, but if our goal is to evolve into a more tolerant, accepting society, we should avoid ineffective, quick-fix bans in favor of the dialogues, relationships and education which affect real change. And lastly, a challenge: if you’ve posted hurtful comments on Yik Yak, or elsewhere, write me an email (crdenni3@ ncsu.edu) and defend them. Sign your name to it. Stand behind your views. If you can’t, or aren’t willing, maybe they’re not views worth holding.

Students face obstacles after studying abroad Sarah Keener Staff Writer

While the opportunity to experience new cultures and places often creates a sense of wanderlust in students planning to study abroad, the reality of readjustment can sometimes be difficult for students returning home. Being immersed in another culture can be enthralling and overwhelming, but when it’s time to return to the United States, it may be difficult to readjust in more ways than one. Though the Study Abroad Office declined to comment on the subject, it referred students interested in learning how to cope with these changes to its website. Each country has its own social normality, which may or may not be what was expected. Returning from any place, however, can be an eye-opener for many North Carolinian norms. While some of these are behavioral, food is especially important. “I got used to dark humor and people ta k ing your words seriously; no American sarcasm or southern hospitality,” said Caryll Orejola, a junior majoring in art studies who traveled abroad to the Prague Institute in the Czech Republic last summer. “As soon as I landed, I went to have dinner with my family. It was weird having the waiter coming back so often just to ask how our meal was. The waiters in Prague didn’t

need tips to survive and only came to check on you if you waved them down.” Andy Masten, an undeclared junior, traveled to the village of Toriket, Nepal last fall. There he dined twice a day on steamed rice and lentil soup, a dish called “dal bhat” that is popular in areas of Nepal, India and Bangladesh. “The first meal I had when I got back was at a barbecue restaurant in Durham and it was so nice,” Masten said. “When I was in Nepal, every day, twice a day, we ate dal bhat and that was it. Coming home and eating the food I had grown up with, and having variety was so nice. It was like soul food; it had felt good in my soul.” While cultures of other countries may seem less inviting than others, some students said they find it difficult to leave the country where they studied abroad. This was the case for Kelly Wynne, a senior majoring in political science who studied in Ireland in the fall of 2013. “I think the best thing about Irela nd was how friendly the people are,” Wynne said. “Everyone is so nice, and the culture is much more relaxed and fun. They even have a word in Gaelic for it: craic. Craic is basically the fun and enjoyment of being with others. It can involve music or drinking. Basically, your typical pub life.” Wynne said this kind of

culture is less prevalent in the U.S., making the assimilation process difficult. “Coming back home, it was hard for me to adjust back to the lack of friendliness,” she said. “Not that people are necessarily unfriendly here, but people tend to stick to their groups and not interact with strangers as much, unlike the Irish; it feels a bit isolating.” Experiencing a feeling of loss for the friends and companions one makes while

abroad is another factor that can make returning to the U.S. a bittersweet event. “You live with these people, go out with them, see them every day and experience things you never could outside of that specific experience of studying abroad,” said Spencer Morris, a junior studying civil engineering who went to Cape Town, South Africa last spring. “Because of this, your relationships with them are very close and all of a sud-

den, they are gone; only to be seen possibly years later with immense effort.” Yet despite the challenges that come with studying abroad and readjusting after coming home, students agree that it is an unforgettable experience. “When I came home, I saw everything differently – school, daily routines, overall cultural mentality, and more,” said Tianna Soto, a senior majoring in psycholog y who studied

abroad in Valencia, Spain during the summer of 2013. “I experienced what many study abroad students go through—a difficulty explaining the incredible experience of living abroad in another country. However, at the end of the day, I’m grateful for my time abroad and am so glad I had to the opportunity to travel. I learned about myself on a personal level and got to see life through different lenses.”

Duke research center protects lemurs Harrison Allen Staff Writer

Just a stone’s throw from NC State is the world’s largest habitat of lemurs outside of Madagascar: the Duke Lemur Center. The Center has been home to many lemurs, including Jovian, better known as Zoboomafoo, the star lemur of the popular PBS television show of the same name. Martin and Chris Kratt about wildlife. However, last year, Jovian passed away due to kidney failure at the age of 20. Founded in 1996, the Duke Lemur Center is devoted to the research of lemurs, the world’s most endangered species found only on the island of Madagascar, off the eastern coast of Africa. “The Duke Lemur Center really exists to educate the public on lemurs and how unique they are,” said Katie Jones, a senior studying biological sciences and a former intern at the Duke Lemur Center. In addition to educating the public on lemurs, the center also focuses its efforts on conservation. “The conservation awareness of Madagascar is a really important part of the center,” said Cassandra Backman, a senior studying zoology who has worked with the Duke Lemur Center. Backman said the Lemur Center is working with the population of Madagascar to help assist in the management and conservation of the lemur species. One of the main reasons that the lemur is endangered is

the deforestation that occurs in Madagascar, according to Jones. “Rare trees in Madagascar are being cut down and exported as a means of making a living,” Jones said. Backman said this slashand-burn farming is one of the main causes of dwindling lemur populations. However, the Duke Lemur Center is reaching out to the people of Madagascar to stop this problem. Jones said working with the population to help save the lemurs is done in various ways, such as the SAVA program. “The SAVA program works with locals in Madagascar and teaches them to make their livelihoods without tearing down trees,” Jones said. While the Duke Lemur Center concentrates on conservation effort, it also conducts many types of research on lemurs. “I’m involved with basic enrichment research that involves improving the welfare of lemurs, but there are a wide range of other research topics,” Backman said. Backman said these other topics include physiological, behavioral, anatomical and ecological research concerning lemurs. This research is imperative, as lemurs are rare in captivity, according to Backman “The research conducted at the lemur center, especially on lemur behavior, is important to learning more about the species because they are rare in captivity,” Jones said. The information gathered through research at the Duke Lemur Center is used in vari-

ous ways to educate the public and help the environment. “Research conducted at the Lemur Center is used to improve the care of lemurs at the Lemur Center, as well as to see what role the lemur plays in the environment, Backman said. Backman said since the lemur is unique only to Madagascar, its ecological role isn’t fully understood, but it may play an important part in Madagascar’s environment. Additionally, the research on lemurs is used to improve knowledge of the human species. “Lemurs are primates, and a lot of research is done on just how lemurs are related to humans,” Jones said. Jones said the Lemur Center is performing research on Alzheimer’s disease and dementia using the mouse lemur, which can develop conditions similar to these diseases in humans. “Noninvasive research concerning Alzheimer’s and dementia on the mouse lemur shows more promise for answers to these diseases because the lemur is genetically similar to humans,” Jones said. With the various types of research conducted at the Duke Lemur Center, more and more is being learned about the species every day. “The Duke Lemur Center sets an example for other zoos, and the public in general, that we need to work to conserve all species,” Backman said.

Researcher pushes for community involvement Sam Roberson Staff Writer

Kaly Clark, a senior studying zoology and the vice president of NC State’s Roots and Shoots, is working to bridge the gap between the scientific community and the general public through her research. Roots and Shoots is a national organization that seeks

to solve North Carolinabased and global problems concerning wildlife, the environment and the Triangle community by giving power and responsibility to young people. Founded with the help of Jane Goodall, the organization attracts many students with a wildlife or ecology focus. Clark first engaged in field

research as an undergraduate last summer when she studied chipmunk behavior in Mount Graham, Arizona. She assisted Allysa Kilanowski, a master’s student studying wildlife conservation at the University of Arizona, by working in the field and trapping chipmunks. “I was fortunate to do research as an undergraduate,”

Kilanowski said. “I wanted to give someone else a chance to learn new skills and see a new part of the country.” The project seeks to understand if juvenile behavior in native cliff chipmunks influences how far and where they will nest in adulthood. By testing factors of curiosity and aggression in young chipmunks, they are then

Kalysha Clark, a senior studying zoology, conducted research in Arizona on chipmunks. During Kalysha’s research, she utlilized radio telemetry (homing) in order to locate night nests of the chipmunks as well as locate ‘juvenile’ chipmunks. Kay is also the vice president of NC State’s Roots and Shoots organization, which focuses on wildlife conservation.

tracked throughout adolescence to determine how they disperse. “If an animal is more curious, it may nest in different or farther places,” Clark said. “If it is more aggressive, it will be easier to hang on to its territory.” Clark worked with data, as well as in the field trapping and tagging cliff chipmunks. Here at NC State, Clark works with Roots and Shoots on various projects concerning both wildlife and the community. Since it began in 2011, Clark said the organization has grown significantly, engaging more students and the public. Co-founder Tara Easter, who graduated in 2012 with a degree in biology, said she and other students are looking for a way to address global issues in conservation on campus. “We saw Jane Goodall speak at Duke and realized we could bring a chapter of Roots and Shoots to NC State,” Easter said. Easter now works as a scientist for the Center for Biological Diversity in Portland, Oregon. “There’s so much amazing science going on that can be pointless if it is not shared with the public,” Easter said. Roots and Shoots continues to stress the importance of public knowledge leading to action by showcasing documentaries and involving members in Triangle-based projects at the Duke Lemur

Center and food distribution to underprivileged communities. Clark said she often finds people will study zoology to work with animals instead of people. She asserts for change to take place in an environment, there needs to be involvement in the surrounding community. “Wildlife management is human management,” Clark said. “The biggest issues surrounding wildlife, like poaching and habitat loss, involve humans.” The message of community involvement is one that Goodall preached and is an integral part of Roots and Shoots, according to Clark. Bob Patterson, the club’s faculty advisor and a crop science professor at NC State for more 40 years, agrees with the group’s reasoning. “Credibility is greatly enhanced when the scientist is involved with the community,” Patterson said. Clark said it can be difficult for researchers to share information with the public as well as take into account community practices when abroad. She said she hopes to engage both as she graduates this spring and looks for research opportunities concerning wildlife. “Eventually you will leave when your research is over,” Clark said. “You have to trust the local people to care enough to continue the project.”

Club hockey sets its sights on ACC title Taylor Peers Correspondent

David Kehrli Correspondent

The NC State club hockey team heads confidently into the ACC tournament as the No. 1 seed for the third consecutive year, cementing its place as one of the most popular and successful J.V. sports on campus. After facing disappointment the past two seasons, the Wolfpack (14-7-2, ACC 8-1-0) travels to Annapolis, Maryland, to take on the Naval Academy (9-7-2, ACC 2-5-2) this weekend in the first round and hopes to finally make a run that ends with that elusive tournament championship. “It’s definitely a win-it-all [situation],” junior forward Garrett Sunda said. “The last two years we’ve lost in the championship round - and both times to Georgetown.” The Wolfpack has dominated the competition this season, posting high-scoring wins against Elon and Duke and grinding out a shorthanded 2-2 tie against UNC-Chapel Hill Saturday, with many players missing due to injury or illness.

“It’s the first time in four years they’ve come that close to beating us,” senior defenseman Sean Blye said. “I think when we have a full bench it should be an easy game.” The test the Tar Heels provided should help NC State as it takes on tough competition in the tournament, albeit with a full team this time around. “I think we proved Saturday that we were able to overcome [injuries], but it would be really nice to have a couple more of those guys back,” Sunda said. Depth has been a valuable asset to the Wolfpack, especially in the event of injuries and illnesses that come along with a strenuous schedule. While other teams may struggle, State’s deep bench gives it the opportunity to win every game. “We’ve had a lot of depth in our team,” Blye said. “Some teams get two or three lines of good guys, where we can roll four or five lines at a time. Nobody gets tired, and [we] keep working hard.” NC State has worked tirelessly in preparation for the ACC tournament, focusing on high-pressure drills to improve strength and stamina. “Full-ice drills with pres-

sure,” Blye said. “We’ve worked a lot of conditioning this semester, so we’re in shape enough to run two lines [if necessary].” Even with a balanced roster, new faces have emerged as promising scoring options. A young freshman who has caught the eyes of his senior teammate is Sam Banasiewicz. “Overall, everyone is doing pretty well,” Blye said. “[Banasiewicz], our rookie, is actually leading the team in points this year.” Banasiewicz has averaged a goal each game during the

regular season, scoring 17 goals and adding 12 assists over 17 games, but he isn’t the only newcomer to make an impact for the Wolfpack. “We had another decent rookie class, filling up spots that were really needed,” Sunda said. In addition to the talented group of freshmen, the Pack also gained the expertise of a defensive coach. “It’s been a lot of help having a defensive coach down on our side of the bench because previously we ran ourselves,” Blye said. “He can look at what we’re doing and

NC State also has a former Carolina Hurricane, Bates Battaglia, as a part-time assistant coach. Battaglia brings more than 10 years of NHL knowledge with him to the college level.

Jan. 17. The Wolfpack kept it close, but the Cavs pulled away in the end, walking away with a 61-51 victory. Anderson led the way for Virginia, scoring 16 points and shooting 4-for-9 from downtown. Redshirt senior guard Ralston Turner’s 14 earned him top scoring honors that night for the Pack. U Va head coach Tony Bennett preaches defense, and the Wahoos are one of the best, if not the best, in the country on that side of the ball. Coming into Wednesday’s matchup, the Cavs rank first in the NCAA in defense, allowing an average of 50.7 opponent points per game. “I think they’re a team that can compete for a national championship,” Gottfried said. “We got our hands full, and we’re excited for the opportunity to play them.” With March just around the corner, every game is crucial for State if the team wants to be in discussion for the Big Dance. After Wednesday’s game against Virginia, the Pack has six games left before the ACC Tournament, four of which come away from Raleigh.

Pack wrestling re-enters top 25 For the first time since Jan. 6, the NC State wrestling team is ranked in the top 25 in this week’s USA Today/ NWCA Division I Wrestling Coaches Poll, starting the week ranked No. 25. On Friday, the Pack upset No. 17 Old Dominion, 21-15. However, on Sunday, it was dominated by No. 9 Virginia Tech, 29-9. The wrestling team continues its stretch against ranked opponents during next few weeks, starting with a home matchup against No. 14 Pittsburgh on Sat., then traveling to No. 13 Virginia on Feb. 19, and ending with a home matchup against No. 7 Oklahoma State on Feb. 22.

Drew Nantais Staff Writer

Despite a furious second-half rally that eventually ended in defeat Feb. 3 in Winston-Salem, the NC State men’s basketball team looks to play giant killer once again tonight against the No. 2 Virginia Cavaliers at PNC Arena. Having lost five of its last seven games, the Wolfpack (14-10, 5-6 ACC) desperately needs a win against the Wahoos (21-1, 9-1 ACC) if it wants any chance to earn a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Wednesday’s matchup comes at the end of a brutal three-game stretch for the Cavs. After dropping a hard-fought game at home against No. 4 Duke, the Wahoos went into Chapel Hill and dominated the No. 12 Tar Heels, then returned home to narrowly edge out the No. 9 Louisville Cardinals. Conversely, the Pack has enjoyed over a week of rest since its 88-84 loss at Wake Forest. Head coach Mark Gottfried and his players said they hope extra practice time will give them the edge over a Virginia squad that, aside from a five minute stretch against Duke, has dominated the ACC this season. “We were going hard for a couple of weeks now,” sophomore forward Beejay Anya said. “It was nice to take it easy, rest our bodies and relax.” The storyline of the Pack this season starts and ends with one word: volatile. State looked like a dangerous team after jumping out with a

“I’m getting back to playing smart basketball,” Barber said. “Everybody’s telling me I look like the old Cat Barber, so I think I’m getting back to playing better ball.” The news heading up to Wednesday’s matchup has been overshadowed by the announcement that Virginia guard Justin Anderson, an All-American candidate, would miss six-to-eight weeks with a fractured finger. Anderson’s absence is a big blow to the Cavs as he sits as the team’s sec-

ond-leading scorer with 13.4 points per game and leader in 3-pointers, shooting 48 percent in the season. “Sometimes when a guy is out, it’s easy to rally the troops,” Gottfried said on Anderson’s injury. “We obviously did it at Florida State without Cat. Thier system is more predicated on style and team play than just one player. They’re a terrific team, and I’m anticipating getting their best shot.” The two teams’ last meeting came in Charlottesville, Virginia back on

QUOTE OF THE DAY

JOHN JOYNER/TECHNICIAN

Sophomore guard Anthony ‘Cat’ Barber calls a play to his teammates during the men’s basketball game at Wake Forest Feb. 3. The Demon Deacons dominated the Wolfpack in the first half, leading 51-30 at halftime. The Wolfpack mounted an unsuccessful comeback attempt, finishing the game with an 88-84 loss . The loss brought the Wolfpack to 14-10 overall and 5-6 in the ACC .

Just four years removed from eighth-place finishes in the ACC Championships, the NC State men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams are ranked No. 3 and No. 12 in the nation respectively and are making a strong push at the postseason. The team’s outstanding turnaround has been orchestrated by head coach Braden Holloway. This year marks Holloway’s fourth season as NC State’s head swimming and diving coach, but Holloway’s ties with the Wolfpack go back further than just a few years. Between 1998 and 2001, Holloway swam for the NC State team where he earned many honors and continued to pursue the sport that he started at a young age. “I did a bunch of sports when I was a kid,” Holloway said, “but I was just better at swimming, so I gravitated toward it.” Once Holloway discovered his talent and passion, he dedicated himself to swimming and found himself a member of the Wolfpack, where he was a five-time All-American, won back-to-back ACC titles in the 100-yd backstroke and was an Olympic qualifier for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. “Coaching didn’t come up until the end of my career; I didn’t know what I really wanted to do and I was thinking about the sport a lot,” Holloway said.

“I helped out here before I graduated, and I liked it.” Af ter severa l seasons coaching at the University of the South and Virginia Tech, Holloway found his way back to his alma mater in 2011 and continued to find success with the Wolfpack, this time as a head coach. Not only did Holloway earn the 2013 ACC men’s coach of the year, but he has coached 43 All-ACC swimmers, 26 individual All-Americans, five individual ACC champions and eight ACC relay champions. Starting out as the head coach of swimming and diving, Holloway had several goals he wanted to achieve for the program’s future. He understood the potential of the program had and wanted to tap into it and create a consistent winning culture. “Once we got the staff in place, the main goal was to get them to believe that they are better than they are” Holloway said. “It had been a stretch of some tough times, and to get them to believe that they could compete within the ACC.” When it comes to swimming, many people think about buoyancy, but coach Holloway said he thinks about balance: balance between competition and fun, balance between his coachto-swimmer relationship and balance between his work life and family life. “He has a lot of energy and a lot of passion,” senior Michael Camper said. “He shares the history with us too, having swam here.

knows the energy and history behind the team and he brings it out every day.” At his practices, there is an air of relaxed fun, intense training and incredible work ethic. Echoes of laughter, coaching commands or conversation bounce off the walls of Casey Natatorium as Holloway leads his team practices. “He is very goof y on deck,” sophomore Alexia Zevnik said. “He dances around and is always trying to make everything fun. He’s serious when he has to be, but he’s all about having fun and getting better.” Holloway also focuses on building strong relationships with his swimmers that transcend beyond the

pool deck. As swimmers enter and leave the program, friendships evolve and close relationships form. Camper has been with Holloway since the start of his tenure as head coach and is a three-time captain under his reign. “I have a very strong relationship with Braden,” Camper said. “He’s helped me through a lot, especially this past year with injuries, so we’re very close.” Despite his love of the sport and his team, Holloway faces challenges as every coach does. “It’s not the easiest sport, and there’s a lot of different personalities to manage,” Holloway said. “You have to juggle a lot of ups

and downs and that’s always a challenge. There’s always some lows that come with some highs.” When Braden leaves the pool he goes home to his four young children who are just now starting to learn to swim. “As soon as I get home, it’s game on,” Holloway said. “It’s really easy to get my mind away from swimming when I go home to my wife and my kids.” Although balance is not always easy to find, Holloway has figured it out in many aspects of his life and with coaching. NC State’s program continues to develop and increase in strength with Holloway at the helm.
