Counseling beyond the Center

Gavin Stone Contributor

Life as a student is challenging no matter your background, and the struggles of preparing for adult life both socially and professionally are universal; but for students in marginalized communities, these issues are compounded by the lack of representation that they have in American society.

NC State’s Counseling Center is one place where these issues come to light.

Over the past four years, the CC has made significant efforts to reach out to students from all walks of life, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race or nationality, to combat the stigma often associated with mental health issues.

When Monica Osburn was hired as director of the Counseling Center in 2012, she saw a need for more community engagement. Prior to 2012, the CC had only hired two new clinicians in the previous twenty years.

“We were very behind,” Osburn said.

“There wasn’t a formal relationship between the Counseling Center and underrepresented communities on campus.”

Lisa Zapata, who joined the CC staff at the same time as Osburn, said that there weren’t enough clinicians to meet the needs of the student body. Since then, the CC incrementally expanded its reach across campus thanks to support from Student Government and the administration as a whole, which provided the CC with the funding from student fees, state money and grants to increase the clinical staff from 18 to 27.

These resources were allocated to the most glaring needs based on the demographics on campus. This began with the GLBT Center in 2013, followed by the Office of International Services and Multicultural Student Affairs this past year, and now the African American Cultural Center which will be the focus this summer and leading into next Fall, according to Osburn.

The governing principle is one of “meeting students where they are” by providing drop-in hours and other services within organizations on campus where students are already filtering through and building support systems.

“We can’t be all things to all people at all times, we’re never going to be able to cover it all,“ Osburn said. “We want to make sure we’re reaching out where we can and making those connections. I don’t ever want to say that we’re done because who knows what tomorrow’s needs are going to bring.”

The Center for Disease Control released

data last month which showed that suicide rates have reached a 30-year high. The data showed dramatic increases in nearly every age group and demographic with the exception of black men and people over 75 years old.

Osburn said this data has to be taken seriously as a sign that people are suffering across the board.

“We need to look at that data.

We see the trends and that’s why we do so much suicide prevention,” Osburn said. “That kind of information drives where we need to make sure we keep our focus. The same thing goes with cultural competency, when we see all of these deaths occurring related to racial tension, discrimination, we need to make sure that we’re helping students.”

The CC uses demographic research to judge whether it is reaching underrepresented populations, according to Osburn.

“We want to make sure that all students feel welcome coming to the Counseling Center,” Osburn said. “And one of the checkpoints we have is looking at our own demographics of who comes to the center and make sure that it’s representative to the percent that those students exist on campus.”

The CC’s data for this past school year shows that black, Asian, multiracial, white and Nat ive A mer ic a n students are represented in greater numbers than they are in the broader campus population, while Latinx and international students are in a deficit in terms of representation in the CC’s patrons.

Zapata said that she was encouraged by the improvement in certain demographics.

“It’s so very important to us that we are reaching all students so that’s why we are focusing on getting out of the counseling center and into where the students are,” Zapata said.

Despite these positive numbers, the Counseling Center still carries a stigma that keeps students from seeking counseling, even when they need it.

“Just as there’s a stigma to come into the GLBT Center there’s also a stigma to walk into an office that says ‘counseling’ so we try to break down those stigmas and barriers,” said Natalie Nguyen, assistant director of the GLBT Center.

By providing drop-in hours, the CC is attempting to shorten the distance between the center and those it treats. “[Drop-in hours are] really helpful and

it makes it easier for students to want to go to counseling services if they have already met [a counselor] in passing in a little bit more of a casual setting,” Nguyen said.

Counselors are put on a schedule and rotate into spaces within student organizations where students can get to know them casually or set up a time when they can meet privately.

Beyond building the courage to walk through the door, students often have a lingering doubt as to whether the CC will be able to help, according to Renee Wells, director of the GLBT Center.

“There’s often a concern among GLBT students that counseling staff may not be open to or accepting of different gender identities or have the experience to support those students,” Wells said. “Dropin hours are a way to signal that the staff is open to serving GLBT students.

It increases the comfort level.”

Nguyen said that the CC is attentive to the need s of GL BT students, providing support when House Bill 2, which prevented transgender people from using the bathroom of the gender they identify with, was passed.

“When HB2 was passed, the Friday before Easter, we had a meeting and there were some counselors on hand to talk about the emotional impact and the mental health concerns,” Nguyen said. “They were readily available and one counselor even offered to stay after five if anyone else still needed to decompress.”

Last year was the first year that Multicultural Student Affairs, which puts an emphasis on serving African-American, Native American and Hispanic/Latinx students, had drop-in hours. Though the CC provides the same service to these groups, the approach is not uniform, according to Osburn.

“The MSA model is similar to the GLBT Center model in terms of structure depending on how students approach it.”

Osburn said. “We’re not trying to dictate what works best for the center. It’s not about us and what our values are it’s about who we’re working with and if we don’t know about a culture then we need to learn and we need to make sure that we’re providing an environment that is supportive.”

The Office of International Services, which serves students from foreign countries who are seeking degrees as opposed to studying abroad for a semester, presents

a different challenge in that international students often have both a cultural and language barrier when considering counseling, according to Osburn.

“We know that international students think about mental health differently,” Osburn said. “They may not have access to mental health services in their home country so we have to do a lot more to address the stigma with that group and we’ve been very intentional about that.”

The CC made their first attempt to partner with OIS in their space in Daniels Hall last August with the creation of the Cultural Crossroads program.

“Instead of having Counseling be the face of it, it’s more of talking about important but potentially high anxiety topics and then having OIS and somebody from the Counseling Center actually in these conversations,” said Thomas Greene, associate director for OIS. “Sometimes it will be a nice, friendly, easy conversation but sometimes it illicit other things.”

Providing drop-in hours for the African American Cultural Center, located on the third floor of Witherspoon Student Center, has not been a high priority because of the amount of black students that sought counseling relative to their population on campus. However, this doesn’t mean that the need for counseling wasn’t there.

The AACC hired Donna Battle, a doctoral student and friend of the cultural center, as a counseling intern to provide similar services to a drop-in counselor, though not directly supervised by the CC. Graham said that, as a faculty member in higher education for more than 30 years, she has heard the complaints from students about convenience. that keep students from going in for counseling, but once they do make the time to go, whether they will be understood on a personal level is another barrier.

“No student has come to me and said ‘I’m not going to the counseling center because I don’t think there are people over there who look like me,’” Graham said. “But I’ve certainly had experiences where students have said ‘I’m not sure I want to go to the counseling center’ or ‘can you direct me to a specific counselor?’ or ‘can you find someone for me in the community?’”

Two black students that took advantage of Battle’s presence in the AACC were Michael Wright, a sophomore studying graphic design, and Destinie Statum, a senior studying social work and Africana

studies.

Both were reluctant at continued from page 3 f irst, citing uneasiness with the idea of “needing help” but having trusted elders encourage them to talk with Battle, also black, made it less daunting.

“I know that she helped me understand myself better by kind of leading me to think about things that I don’t usually think of whether I suppress them or whether I just didn’t really think about it,” Wright said.

Statum agreed, saying, “It’s helped me this last year just getting through classes and being overwhelmed, having someone who understands a lot of what goes on in my life and seeing my reflection as well that was a big thing for me.”

Both students were surprised by the positive experience with Battle, citing a personal connection with her.

Battle said that in order for people to learn about themselves, they need an accurate history of their community and people in that community with similar experiences who have achieved.

“I think for people of color specifically in this country that’s not always readily available, people who look like us who have achieved or done certain things who have also experienced the same things we have.”

Battle said. “I would say that’s significant for any human group, it’s just highlighted in many ways for people of color because it’s not always something that’s readily available for us. In that way I would say that yeah, I may represent that for some students here because we have shared experiences.”

33 years later, ‘83 champs finally visit White House Andrew Schnittker Staff Writer

No matter the sport — be it professional football, basketball, baseball or hockey — winning that championship trophy is almost always accompanied later on by something else unforgettable: a trip to the White House.

For a number of reasons, that never happened for NC State’s 1983 men’s basketball team. However, thanks to some persistence from its members, the members of the 1983 NCAA National Championship team finally got to visit the White House more than 33 years later.

“For the past five or six years, Thurl [Bailey] has been working on a White House visit for the team since we didn’t go in 1983,” said Alvin Battle, a junior forward from the ‘83 team. “This came about fairly suddenly for us. We knew it was in the works, but we didn’t have any idea it was going to be this fast. We normally get together as a team once a year. We were going to meet in July just to do our normal get-together. I got a call from Thurl three weeks ago and he said, ‘The White House visit is on.’”

During its visit, the team was able to meet and speak with President Barack Obama, giving him a personalized NC State basketball jersey to commemorate its visit. The team also got to tour and see many parts of the White House.

“I think several have said it, that it is just incredible to see and meet the president of the United States in a personal setting,” Battle said. “The White House itself is just amazing; it’s an amazing building. You walk in there, and it’s all history of the

country that you’re experiencing. It was one of those bucket list items that you check off like, I actually went to the White House, I shook the hand of the president of the United States, the most powerful man in the world.”

While Battle would have loved for the team to be able to go directly after the victory in 1983, he said there were certainly benefits to the long wait.

“It was just an awe-struck experience for me,” Battle said. “Yes, I would have loved to have gone back in 1983 when we won the championship, but I appreciate it and understand the magnitude of it more now that I’m 54 years old. It was a blessing to me just to wait, and I was able to take my youngest daughter with me. She was able to shake the president’s hand, and he asked her if she was a model. That’s something for her that she’ll carry with her the rest of her life.”

Unfortunately, the team has lost members over the years, including legendary head coach Jim Valvano, assistant coach Ed McLean, Lorenzo Charles, whose famous last-second dunk sealed the 54-52 win over the Houston Cougars in 1983, and Quinton Leonard.

However, it was as if they were there in spirit, both through their surviving family members who made the trip and the team’s memories of them.

“We were fortunate enough to have Pam Valvano (Coach Valvano’s wife) with us, and also Jamie, Leanne and Nicole (their children), and they got to experience it,” Battle said. “It was so special to have Quinton’s son, Quinton Jr., there with us. He was extremely emotional, and we treated him like he was one of the family ... To have Lorenzo there with us would have been

very special, but it wasn’t meant to be. We thought about him at our reunion dinner, we gave a toast to Lorenzo, Coach V, Quinton and Coach McLean, because they were an integral part of us winning a National Championship. None of the members will ever be forgotten; this team will stay a family for generations.”

In addition to talking about his White House experience, Battle also offered his advice to current NC State players.

“Tradition means a lot at NC State,” Battle

said. “It’s not all about winning. It’s about tradition; it’s about doing the right things.

It’s a great school. My advice would be, to any player at NC State, understand the history. Work as hard as you can for the school and for the alumni. It’s an experience that you will take with you the rest of your life.

I’m sure that happens at all schools, but because we are NC State alums, we understand how much the school means to us in the real world.”

State professor brings home award, meets president Staff report

May 19 at a White House Ceremony, President Barack Obama awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation to an NC State professor. Joseph DeSimone, the award’s recipient, is a William R. Kenan Jr. distinguished professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering.

The NMTI is the nation’s highest honor for achievement and leadership in advancing the fields of science and technology and is awarded annually to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the fields of science and engineering, according to the White House.

“Science and technology are fundamental to solving some of our Nation’s biggest challenges,” Obama said in a White House press release, describing the award’s importance. “The knowledge produced by these Americans today will carry our country’s legacy of innovation for-

ward and continue to help countless others around the world. Their work is a testament to American ingenuity.”

DeSimone won the medal for his innovations in material science that led to advancements in fields from manufacturing to medicine, as well as for leadership in higher education and entrepreneurship, according to NC State News.

DeSimone, who is also a chancellor’s eminent professor of chemistry at the UNC-Chapel Hill, is the CEO and co-founder of Carbon3D, an engineering company selfdescribed as a group working at the intersection of hardware, software and molecular science. Under the direction of DeSimone, Carbon3D has combined the intricacies of hardware, software and molecular science in order to advance the 3-D printing industry, according to Carbon3D. DeSimone has published over 300 scientific articles and has over 150 issued patents in his name, according to Carbon3D. He has also been elected to all three branches

of National Academics including the Institute of Medicine, the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering.

The DeSimone laboratories at NC State and UNC-CH focus on exploring the potential for Continuous Liquid Interface Production to be used in the fabrication of very small structures used in medical applications, according to the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at NC State.

According to Carbon 3D, DeSimone continues some research at NC State and UNC-CH, however he is currently on leave from his professional academic roles in order to devote more time to his work as CEO of Carbon3D. Seven other individuals received the medal on May 19 as well, in addition to nine individuals who were awarded the National Medal of Science.

11 states challenge guideline, sue federal government Staff Report

Eleven states and state officials sued the Obama administration on May 25 for issuing a guidance asking public school districts to allow transgender students to use bathrooms that match their gender identity.

According to the Washing ton Post, the federal lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The lawsuit claims that the guidance “has no basis in law” and that the directive could cause “seismic changes in the operations of the nation’s school districts.”

The guidance was released on May 13, days after North Carolina filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice over NC House Bill 2, a law that prohibits transgender people from using public bathrooms and facilities in North Carolina that differ from the gender on their birth certificates.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a conference on May 25 that the directives issued by the Obama Administration represent an attempt by the administration to rewrite the law.

“This represents just the latest example of the current administration’s attempts to accomplish by executive fiat what they couldn’t accomplish through the democratic

process in Congress,” Paxton said.

Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch issued a statement after the release of the guidance which states that discrimination of any kind has no place in schools.

“This guidance gives administrators, teachers, and parents the tools they need to protect transgender students from peer harassment and to identify and address unjust school policies,” Lynch said.

Texas, Alabama, West Virginia and Georgia were among the eleven states that filed the lawsuit, which is expected to be a prolonged and complicated legal battle, according to Fox News.

A letter jointly written by the Department of Justice and the Department of Education meant to answer questions that many schools had regarding the guidance cited Title IX, which prohibits sexual discrimination at educational facilities that receive federal funding. The letter states that the Obama Administration’s interpretation of discrimination includes how schools treat transgender students.

Because of this, schools that dwo not abide by this guidance potentially risk their federal funding under Title IX. “This is no reinterpretation of terms,” Paxton said. “It’s an entire rewrite of law, and that is constitutionally the purview of the

MOOGFEST MAKES DURHAM DEBUT Nathan Marquard Correspondent

Emma Cathell Contributor

Starting May 19, Durham played temporary home for the first time to thousands of concert-goers and techies at this year’s Moogfest.

The three-day music and technology festival, put on by the legendary synthesizer company Moog, showcased emerging technologies in musical instruments, as well as talks by acclaimed intellectuals and artists and performance by some renowned musicians.

Events continued all of May 19 in some

of Durham’s best venues, such as Carolina Theatre, American Tobacco Campus and Motorco Music Hall, as well as various pop-up tents and other exhibits.

Performing artists were united by one theme: their use of Moog synthesizers. Artists representing nearly every genre were present, though the festival had a distinct electronic and hip-hop influence.

The night of May 19 began the festival with shows including hypnotic electronic dance artist Floating Points, R&B and electronic band Blood Orange and indie-pop band Miike Snow. Legendary Wu-Tang Clan member GZA performed a two-night stay at Motorco Music Hall, while new-wave artist Gary

The Black Madonna performs at the Armory at Moogfest held May 19-22 in Durham. The festival included workshops, performances and installations spanning over 10 venues across downtown Durham.

Numan had a three-night performance at the Carolina Theatre. Electro-pop artist Grimes played a show Friday night at Motorco Park that one organizer said at least 1,600 people attended, while Explosions in the Sky headlined Saturday night’s shows to an at-capacity Carolina Theatre.

May 21 featured some of North Carolina’s most exciting rising hip-hop artists, when Durham’s Professor Toon, Charlotte’s Well$ and Raleigh’s King Mez played to a full Motorco Music Hall, while Durham’s Made of Oak and Raleigh’s Eyes Low enjoyed sizeable crowds at their electronic shows.

WKNC’s Chainsaw Music Director Jamie Halla said he was most excited to see legendary

drone metal band Sunn O)))’s performance at Motorco Park and was not disappointed.

“Once I heard Sunn O))) was moved out of Carolina Theatre for being too loud and threatening to the structural integrity of the building, I knew it was something I needed to see,” Halla said.

“The fog machines were so powerful, and the music was so loud, it was unlike any performance I have ever experienced.”

David Ji, a 2015 alumnus of NC State, attended his fourth Moogfest last weekend.

“I like coming back every year, and it’s exciting this year is in Durham,” Ji said. “I enjoy the music, the people and the environment in general.”

Modular Marketplace, is a free, interactive exhibit set up in The Boiler Room at the Power Plant where participants can play with, test-drive, and experience the next generation of musical devices and meet their designers.

Ji said he was most excited to see Miami rapper Denzel Curry but said he most enjoyed electronic artist Floating Points. “[They] were amazing,” Ji said. “I loved the live instrumentation portion of it. It’s completely different from what they usually do.”

Moogfest also hosted many talks and workshops with some of the industry’s best minds, as well as serving as a platform for other tech collaboration. Grimes, singer Janelle Monae and comedian Reggie Watts were just a few of the many artists that gave talks and demonstrations about their creative process.

Grimes was featured in a three-day workshop providing an exclusive look into her creative process and instrumentation entitled “Realiti,” based on a song off her latest album.

Watts, shortly before his hilarious set on the American Tobacco Campus, tackled the difficult topic of Afrofuturism in his speech.

The festival featured two talks by NC State faculty, librarians Lauren Di Monte and Adam Rogers. Di Monte’s workshop taught attendees how to make synthesizers that can be worn on their wrists and played with their fingers, while Rogers taught attendees about the future of internet-integrated everyday technologies. Attendees were taught how to run simple code on an Arduino board and how to post tweets from the push of a button on a board. Rogers then explained the opportunities of a world with internet integration.

“We’ve already seen some of these technologies made available to consumers, such as Nest air-conditioning systems, and we will continue to see this sector of technology grow in the coming years,” Rogers said.

For him, the confluence of the arts and technology was the greatest attraction for Moogfest.

SORENA DADGAR/TECHNICIAN

D∆WN performs at Motorco Park Saturday evening during Moogfest. The festival spanned various venues in downtown Durham from May 19-22. Moogfest also featured workshops and lectures highlighting innovations in electronic music and equipment.

“It’s such an interesting combination,” Rogers said. “I mean, compared to a bigger festival like South by Southwest, Moogfest feels much more integrated. I think it’s a really great thing.”

Another large aspect of Moogfest is to showcase modular synthesizers and instrument makers to the public. Every day of the festival in the American Tobacco Campus’ Power Plant Gallery there was a pop-up show and interactive exhibition called the Modular Marketplace where creators could engage with the public about their musical devices.

One of the several creators present was Rick Burnett, owner of Raleigh’s audio hardware and software company Erogenous Tones. Burnett was there to present his three modules he designed and built, Mother’s Little Helper, GateStorm and Levit8.

“It feels great being here and being able to show off my creations,” Burnett said. “This is the first time I’ve had all three modules, and it’s been fantastic. People really enjoyed learning about them, even people not doing eurorack are just drawn from to them because of the blinking lights. I love describing how it works because, to me, it’s so interesting.”

This was Moogfest’s first year in the Triangle. From 2010 to 2014, it took place in Asheville in honor of Moog Music founder, Bob Moog, and because the organization is based there. However, Moog Music staff announced in 2015 after its gap year that the festival will be moved to Durham in order to focus more on the technology side of the festival, according to Citizen-Times. As such, the festival moved to the technology capital of North Carolina, “Bull City,” and served as a complement to the technology renaissance that downtown Durham has experienced.

As a regular Moogfest attendee, Burnett said he enjoyed his experience in Durham overall.

“At first I was a little apprehensive only be-

cause I love Asheville,” Burnett said. “I have not spent a lot of time in Durham, so I decided we would stay for the weekend to get to know the city, and I got to say, I really think Durham has done a great job.”

Moogfest offered a reduced ticket price for students, and as a top area STEM school, NCSU Libraries Fellow Lauren Di Monte said she believes NC State students gain a lot from Moogfest, as well as contributing.

“Moogfest is a great place for artists to collaborate with those at the cutting edge of the technology world,” Di Monte said. “For NC State students, it’s a great place to learn different perspectives, gain experience in the workshops and even to look for internships and jobs. It would be great to see NC State’s influence at the festival grow.”

Before the festival’s debut in Durham was over May 22, Moogfest announced the dates for its return in 2017.

In the statement, Moogfest acknowledged “the logistical difficulties of creating an ambitious festival in a new, growing town and vowed to have such issues sorted out before Moogfest opens next year,” according to Independent Weekly.

“We learned a lot at Moogfest this year,” the statement read. “And we want to assure you that the next festival will be even better.

VIPs will have even greater access and perks.

We are addressing the workshop signup process to better accommodate the overwhelming enthusiasm for these sessions ... Over the next year, Moogfest will continue to expand this exploration of Future Sound and Future Thought.”

Imagine this: you’re new to America, young, excited for your future, apprehensive about assimilating to a new culture and lifestyle. You’ve been learning and speaking English for a few years now, and you are the best student in your classes back home.

You make your way around your town during your first few days, but become increasingly disheartened. Instead of the positive, impressed reactions you were expecting from the locals about your English skills, you’re being met with snickers, thinly veiled derisive comments and passive aggressive jabs at your accent and grammar.

Now, imagine the same scenario, except you speak no English, and are met with a metaphorical wall built on denial of services and help due to a communication barrier. They refuse to learn and/or speak your language, and you haven’t had the opportunity to learn theirs. How would this country and, by extension, the world, continue to function?

I was, and am extremely lucky to have grown up in a family environment that fosters and encourages multilingualism. I learned English

as a second language at a very young age, and faced very few problems with language-related bullying when I moved to the United States in the fourth grade. The foreign language programs in my middle and high schools were some of the best in the state, and fairly high up in national rankings as well. However, the unfortunate truth is that not everyone had the same opportunities as I did.

According to U.S. Census Bureau reports from 2009, only about 20 percent of Americans are at least bilingual. Even worse are the statistics in the United Kingdom, where approximately 95 percent of citizens are monolingual English speakers, according to the BBC. Although statistically, America seems to be in a better place than the U.K., this is not an excuse for complacency in furthering and improving foreign language instruction in the U.S. Immigrants coming to this country are encouraged to learn English as quickly as possible as a part of their assimilation; people tend to forget, or choose to ignore how difficult it is to learn a new language, especially in a stressful situation. Despite this, very little effort and funding is put into foreign language programs around

the country to ensure that our country’s children meet the same standards of bilingualism in the event that they, too, leave their country for another, non-English speaking one.

The reality is that we are becoming a more globalized society, both nationally here in the U.S., and internationally as well. International relations have become top priority for policy makers as countries work to achieve stability and prosperity.

Companies and corporations are expanding globally, creating an increase in business-related travel, and tourists are finding more affordable ways to visit new places and experience new cultures.

All of the things listed above are important reasons to encourage bilingualism, and even multilingualism.

It’s comforting to know that I have the ability to communicate with people and have a more thorough, wholesome view when I travel abroad to certain countries. On a more practical, beneficial front, instilling the need to learn more than one language and providing adequate programs to do so fosters individual, societal, and global awareness in children and teenagers, which can then be implemented in future careers and life situations.

Blame me for the rise of Donald Trump Luke Perrin Correspondent

Unpatriotic tears flowed from my eyes when I got the CNN notification on my phone that Ted Cruz had dropped out of the race. Not that I liked the “outsider,” but the moment all but assured that my biggest fears of Trump’s ascension to the Republican throne became true. By all standards, nobody saw this coming. Political scientists have tried to pinpoint exactly why and how this remarkable victory came into hellish fruition. I blame myself.

I’m a moderate Republican. I believe in market solutions, a strong national defense and deregulation. The Republican Party has faced an identity crisis for the past six years, and it all began with the emergence of the Tea Party in the 2010 midterm elections. Many establishment GOP members lost their congressional primaries to upstart private citizens, with their pockets full of Koch money and broken ideologies to pollute an entire political party. This furthered the hyper-partisanship of the political system to a level that we hadn’t seen in decades and was the beginning stages for the rise of a figure like Donald Trump into the spectrum. The Tea Party was the biggest major fraction of the Republican base, and I’m guilty of subscribing to that fraction.

Tea Party policies and ideals have become the mainstream

aspects of GOP platforms across the country. Gone are the days of limited government, entitlement reform and rational thinking regarding the national economy. The Republican voter base has come to represent the contorted ideals of the Tea Party, and the party has shifted with the wind. The new GOP is a medley of semi-anarchist policies, fear-mongering claims about Barack Obama’s regime and a semi-unconstitutional devotion to Christianity. The biggest selling point of the platform is an opposition to anything that Obama has done or will ever do in office, as GOP candidates all promise to stand up to Washington and “give power back to the people.” In 2016, the only real requirement to be a Republican is to hate Democrats. There are rarely compromises, and that is why Washington exists in such gridlock. While the Democrats are currently facing an identity crisis, it’s almost solely the fault of the Republicans in Congress for the current problems in Washington.

The Republican voters then get upset with the gridlock in Washington, even though it’s their own representatives creating the animosity. I was one of those people. While I don’t believe that my sentiments toward Obama are in any way fueled by his race, there are many members of my party who still use Obama’s “socialist” policies as a cover for their internal prejudice.

We give the blame for the problems in Washington completely to Obama and the Democrats, and not to the

lackluster representatives who swept into their seats with Koch money. I blindly accepted Tea Party views until just recently because that’s what the GOP had become. While Obama hasn’t been close to the best leader that we’ve had, he hasn’t been the catastrophe that Sean Hannity claims on his show every evening. There might be a culmination of factors that feed into the angst that many Americans feel toward the government, but the Tea Party is at the forefront of all of them.

Standing idly by and letting the Tea Party movement manifest into the GOP has created a contorted platform that wasn’t the intention of Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan. I accepted the Tea Party because it was what my party accepted, and I blindly followed as the party changed its views drastically in just six years. The anger that people have towards Washington has led them to supporting Trump, and that anger was a result of the Tea Party catalyst.

Republicans should have stood up to the Tea Party. RINOs, as they call moderate establishment supporters and representatives, stood idly by as their seats were taken over and many of them moved further right than what the party believed. I was one of them, and understand now the twisted nature of the Tea Party’s beliefs. Republicans are paying the price now, and we deserve to pay for it. I’m responsible for Trump, and I apologize for that.

Baseball wins final season series against UNC David Kehrli Interim Sports Editor

The No. 13 NC State baseball team bounced back from losing six of its previous seven games by winning the final threegame series of the regular season against rival UNC-Chapel Hill in Raleigh.

The Wolfpack (34-19, 15-14 ACC) won two of three games, prevailing in a close 6-4 opener, then getting blown out 16-4 before returning the favor to the Tar Heels (34-21, 13-17 ACC), winning 10-1 in the series finale. The loss kept UNC from making the ACC Tournament 10-team field.

In the opening game on May 19, the Wolfpack struggled from the mound early on, going through two pitchers in the first 1 2/3 innings pitched. During that time, UNC scored two runs, yet left NC State feeling lucky by leaving the bases loaded in each of the first two innings.

State used seven pitchers in the first game, six in relief, who all did a solid job to keep the Heels off the board until the Pack bats finally came around. After managing only two hits — both infield singles — through the first five innings, the NC State offense showed signs of life in the sixth, putting up four hits and three runs, to take a 3-2 lead.

The Wolfpack added three more runs on back-to-back-toback two-out hits in the seventh inning to take a 6-2 lead.

“I thought our relievers were the story of the game,” NC State head coach Elliott Avent said. “I thought our relievers, and I thought our bats, were so good that we actually were able to cash in [in the sixth and seventh innings].”

Sophomore second baseman Stephen Pitarra, junior first

baseman Preston Palmeiro, sophomore shortstop Joe Dunand and sophomore outfielder Brock Deatherage each recorded two hits and an RBI to lead the Pack.

The Heels rallied in the ninth but only were able to make it a 6-4 final.

Game Two was one to forget for State, as the pitching staff gave up 16 total runs on 18 hits, including allowing at least one run in six innings, and in each of the last four.

NC State freshman outfielder Brett Kinneman hit a two-out, two-run homer to right center in the fourth and Palmeiro hit a two-run blast of his own to right in the sixth, but it wasn’t nearly enough offense with Wolfpack pitchers having a tough night. “[Bukauskas] got down in the count 2-0, and in that situation, I was just looking for that one pitch to drive,” Kinneman said in his postgame interview. “I was seeing the ball pretty well all night I got a good swing on it, and the rest is history.”

The tables were turned in the series-deciding game May 21, as State pitchers allowed just one run on six hits while the Pack blew out the Tar Heels with 10 runs on 12 hits.

After Kinneman got State on the board in the second on a wild pitch, Palmeiro hit his second two-run homer in as many games in the third to make it 3-0, which is all the offense the Pack ultimately needed, but didn’t stop it from breaking the game open in the remaining innings.

Pitarra (two hits, two runs, two RBI), Kinneman (two hits, two runs, one RBI), Palmeiro (two hits, one run, two RBIs) and sophomore third baseman Evan Mendoza (two hits, two runs, two RBIs) all led the blowout performance for the Wolfpack.

“It’s good to see our team play well and bounce back after getting drubbed,” Avent said in his postgame interview. “This team has been a character team all year. They dig deep when

it’s needed, and they dug deep today.”

The Wolfpack took on No. 11 Florida State May 25 in its first game of the ACC Tournament in Durham, falling 7-3. NC State held a 3-1 lead until the Seminoles (35-19, 17-10 ACC) scored two runs in the sixth inning to tie it and eventually broke the game open in the eighth, scoring four runs.

SPORTS COMMENTARY

Calipari should worry about own program, not others’

John Calipari has done it.

He has disgraced the very name of college basketball once again and continues to be the primary reason for the negative views of college basketball today.

Kyler Calipari, the head coach Proffitt of the Kentucky Wildcats Staff Writer men’s basketball team, recently wrote a blog titled, “The vision of the program: where we’re going.” In it, Calipari was sure to take a shot at Duke and its recruiting methods. “...There’s been #NoFlipFlop during our time here,” Calipari said in the post. “I refuse to go in a home and paint a picture saying things like, ‘If you come with us, you’ll be taken care of for the rest of your life by the program and by our alums’ even though you may only be in school for a year or two.”

Calipari then went on to say, “How preposterous does that sound? What if I say that same thing and the young man decides to transfer for one reason or another?” It is evidently clear Calipari was referring to recent Duke transfer Derryck Thornton Jr. in the statement.

Thornton decided to come out of high school a year early to join the Blue Devils after

point guard Tyus Jones decided to enter the draft, leaving Duke with virtually no options at point guard. After this past year, Thornton decided to transfer due to lack of playing time.

This blog is an issue because it once again shows the problem that we have today in college basketball, and its name is John Calipari.

In his 24 years of coaching in college, he has one national championship to his name, coming in 2012 when he had future All-NBA first-team power forward and three-time NBA All-Star Anthony Davis.

Calipari had arguably one of the best rosters in college basketball history in 2009-10 which featured John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Patrick Patterson and Eric Bledsoe, yet failed to make the Final Four that year.

The 2014-15 team was also considered to be one of the best in history. The squad was headed for greatness after completing an undefeated regular season. It was abruptly stopped in the Final Four by Wisconsin. This roster had players such as Karl-Anthony Towns, Willie Cauley-Stein, the Harrison twins, Devin Booker and Trey Lyles.

Why did both of these historic teams fail to leave their places in history? John Calipari.

Calipari knows how to recruit, certainly.

He’s had three No. 1 overall NBA Draft picks, 17 first-round picks and 23 total players draft-

ed since 2010. These numbers prove he knows how to recruit great players to Kentucky.

But he doesn’t care about any of his player’s academics. It is evident that winning games and a place in the Hall of Fame is more important than a sound education and preparing these kids for life.

While that may be fine because these kids want an NBA career, criticizing others of their methods shouldn’t even be an option based on what he does with his players. Calipari honestly condemns other techniques, then uses his own questionable ways.

Reasons why Calipari does not have the right to criticize other programs stem from the vacating of Final Fours at two different schools. He is the only coach in history to have this done; it seems he really did write his own piece of history.

Calipari coached at University of Massachusetts from 1988-1996 and at Memphis from 2000-09. He received both of his Naismith Coach of the Year awards in those years that the wins were vacated.

The idea of this man criticizing a person like Duke men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski and company is ridiculous. The worst thing fans have ever heard of Coach K is the incident in which he told Oregon stud Dillon Brooks he was “too good” to be shooting

at the end of the game in which the outcome was already decided.

Krzyzewski has yet to challenge the integrity of the game. Calipari chooses to ridicule a man who has won five national championships in three different decades, and he has done it with a variety of players. He’s done it with seniors one year and one-and-dones another.

Coach K has beat Calipari at his own game, and Calipari is not taking it very well. The only way he knows to respond is to criticize someone else. He has to find fault with another’s methods in order to feel better about himself.

The difference between Calipari and Krzyzewski is this: Krzyzewski can use any player in the books to establish a dominant and winning team. Calipari has to have topof-the-line recruits and/or an easy schedule — let’s face it, the SEC isn’t exactly a loaded basketball conference — to establish dominance.

Maybe once Calipari catches up to other coaches in national championship wins he can run his mouth about their ways. Until then, he needs to focus on himself and learning how to finish.

Abu, Anya to return – things looking up for Pack Kyler Proffitt Staff Writer

The NC State men’s basketball team has had an incredibly eventful offseason thus far. Everything from transfers to unexpected commitments has occurred, and the anticipation for the upcoming season could not be greater.

When point guard Cat Barber declared for the draft, nobody expected much more news to be breaking from the Wolfpack.

Former Wolfpack forwards Caleb and Cody Martin announced that they were transferring, allegedly coming on the heels of a season in which both received less playing time, due to freshman Maverick Rowan’s emergence.

Around the same time, junior forward Abdul-Malik Abu and senior forward BeeJay Anya made Wolfpack fans scratch their heads when the duo declared for the NBA Draft.

Assistant coach Bobby Lutz appeared to be on his way out of the program until a new position, “special assistant to deputy athletic director for external operations” was created for him. Head coach Mark Gottfried filled the open spot with former University

of Tennessee-Martin head coach Heath Schroyer.

The upcoming season appeared to be a lost cause with the possible exodus of five key players. Gottfried had apparently lost control of his team, and the “only at NC State” chatter had begun.

Abu declaring for the draft was surprising, but not nearly as surprising as Anya’s declaration. Anya averaged 4.7 points per game and 5.3 rebounds per game last season.

What other player in the past 15 years has ever had such low production and been drafted?

Neither player seemed a likely fit for any NBA team due to the way the Wolfpack finished during the 2015-16 season. Instead of attempting a try at the next level, many scouts saw both players as likely candidates to come back to a reloaded Wolfpack team.

Outside of five-star point guard Dennis Smith Jr., at the time, the recruiting effort was pretty poor, and Gottfried had no players to replace either of the big men. Therefore, what Abu and Anya brought to the team was vital to its success for the next year.

Abu is a frontcourt presence for his team. He improved greatly from his freshman year to his sophomore year, averaging 12.9 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.

He worked on his post moves and got better in back-to-the-basket situations, looking to raise his draft stock in his remaining two years of eligibility.

Anya didn’t see improvement in any aspects of his game this past season. The forward is better off as a backup big man who comes in off the bench to provide energy and a few key blocks when necessary.

So, with all the negative news breaking the way it did, nobody knew how or when the program was going to start looking up again.

The positive news began first when five-star Turkish center Omer Yurtseven committed to the Wolfpack. The big man was fresh off a weekend in which he scored 91 points in a U-18 game.

Yurtseven will first have to be cleared by the NCAA, which looks like an uphill battle as they are tough on young athletes, especially those who may have accepted money from a European team. The NCAA never cleared former Kentucky commit Enes Kanter who

played professionally in Turkey.

Kanter was in the same boat as Yurtseven, being an international player signing with a big name school, but requiring an investigation by the NCAA to make sure none of its rules were violated.

Kanter was never cleared due to the fact he received money while playing overseas.

As long as Yurtseven is cleared like fans expect, he could potentially be one of the best big men NC State has ever seen play.

In just a few days’ time, Abu and

Anya announced their intention to return to the Wolfpack, and it appeared the decline of the program was over. Three-star forward Darius Hicks committed to the Wolfpack, giving the team another option for a big man.

The team now seems poised for another run. Much anticipation has been built up for Smith, as he is the highest-ranked recruit NC State has ever signed.

Terry Henderson suffered an injury early in the season last year but will be back and expected to start.

Torin Dorn, the Conference USA Freshman of the Year at UNCCharlotte, spent a year on the bench due to the NCAA transfer rules. Much anticipation has come for the backcourt behind the talent of the three players.

Whatever the outcome ends up being for the next season, the Wolfpack has the pieces to finish in the top half of the ACC, possibly making some headlines along the way.
