Thousands of gallons of sewage dumped into Durham creek
OPINION
1:31 P.M. | DAMAGE TO PROPERTY Case Athletic Center Lot Staff member reported a tree branch fell on their vehicle.
Approximately 15,000 gallons of untreated wastewater was poured into Goose Creek Friday from an overflow of sewage from the nearby North Durham Water Reclamation Facility. An operator error caused the overflow that lasted for nearly an hour and a half. Officials tried to improve the situation by pumping waste back into the facility and adding lime to the creek. This event occurred days after 240 gallons of wastewater were discharged into a tributary of the same creek.

Vigil held to remember gun violence victim in Durham After Darrell Harper was shot and killed in a parking lot in late January, family members came to the same lot and paid their respects to the father of four. A 23-year old quilt, which has a square for each of the nearly 750 victims of violent crime in Durham, was present at the vigil. Family members and friends of Harper say that violent crimes like this need to be stopped.

PETA desires coyotes be “evicted” instead of trapped and killed in NC town SPORTS Rizzi finding place with NC State softball, pg. 11
Animal rights activists are pressuring Nags Head, North Carolina, to consider more humane ways of dealing with wild coyotes along the North Carolina coast. After 17 coyotes were trapped and killed in the trapping season of December through February, PETA is calling for tactics such as sonic repelling devices to deter coyotes rom the area. The town has encouraged citizens to use many of the tactics advocated by PETA and also claims that nothing illegal is done in the current way of controlling coyote populations.

Over 70 businesses and organizations will be on the Brickyard Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to teach people about food, water, transportation and their connections to nature. The Earth Fair is an annual event that aims to teach students and community members how to make the world a better place through environmentally friendly and sustainable lifestyle choices. A primary goal of the event is to educate people on how to make simple lifestyle choices for living in a more sustainable world so future generations can enjoy. Among the groups at the event will be the Beekeepers Club, an organization devoted to the protection of honeybees and native bees. Club president Mitch Stevens, a Ph.D. student studying veterinary medicine, said that his group will be on the Brickyard mainly to
educate people. “We want to educate the public on simple ways that anybody, even if they don’t want to become a beekeeper, can help bees, including honeybees but also native bees,” Stevens said. “We give examples that are very simple and very easy to do, so that anybody can help.” Another group in attendance will be the North Carolina Friends of State Parks. President of the organization, Jim Richardson ,said his group is coming to the event to urge support and advocacy for the state’s 30-plus National Parks. “We’re trying to get more members to support state parks, more people to advocate for state parks and more people to talk to their legislators about the budget and the funding,” Richardson said. “With a system that’s free to visit in the end, it’s all dependent on the state budget. We’re always looking for people to speak up, make noise about the value of state parks and to fund them and support them.” Students will have a wide variety of groups
to talk to about an array of topics relating to sustainability. Members of the NC State Crime Prevention Unit will be at the Earth Fair, with a display of alternative transportation and patrol methods utilized on campus. They will also be helping to register bikes for students. The NC State branch of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) will also be at the event, as well as LimeBike, the Counseling Center and several other student organizations. The event is open to the public, including children, families and people of all ages. “We just want people to be more aware of what’s available to them that they might not have realized, especially students that are from out of state,” Richardson said. “We want everybody to know what treasures we have out there, the naturally wonderful state parks. Going to enjoy a waterfall, or a hiking trail […] and appreciating some of the natural beauty of North Carolina. State parks are forever, and
we intend to preserve our natural heritage for everybody, for future generations to enjoy.” Stevens says students should come out and enjoy the Earth Fair because it is a very wellrun and informative event. “It’s a lot of fun, and there’s tons of groups out there,” Stevens said. “Lots of student organizations that have great messages to local businesses that have things for sale. There’s a lot of free giveaways that are also beneficial for the environment. You can get free plants. It’s a wonderful experience to come and learn about sustainability.” While each group has an individual focus, all organizations at the event have a common goal of teaching people how to make manageable changes to lessen environmental impacts and conserve nature for the next generations. “Everybody gets to learn about sustainability and ways they can help out their community, but also the environment at the same time,” Stevens said. “They can do simple things that are very helpful.”

Student clubs and organizations provide support and experiences
AMRITA MALUR/ARCHIVE
The James H. Woodward Student Involvement Center, located in Talley Student Union, is seen on Nov. 3. As a part of the Division of Academic and Student Affairs, the Student Involvement Center hosts over 700 staff members and student organizations. Student organizations can reserve the space to meet, collaborate and hold events.
Georgia Burgess Correspondent
Student Involvement is a large part of the culture at NC State, with over 700 student organizations on campus. These student organizations range from religious to cultural to academic to just plain fun. Each one plays a vital role in assisting students in not only supplementing their education, but also building stronger relationships and support networks with people who share common interests. According to NC State’s Student Involvement website, student involvement is an invaluable experience that fosters the development of “a strong and diverse skill set” that makes students “more marketable when they graduate.” In addition to the student organizations currently available at NC State, the Student Involvement Center is responsible for advising Student Government and the Union Activities Board. “Student Involvement is really important for students to find their niche on campus,” said Molly Mueller, a third-year studying political science and international studies and student body treasurer. “Without Student Involvement, we wouldn’t have the structure
of student orgs that we have today.” Mueller currently serves as the student body treasurer for Student Government, but she has served in multiple positions through her three years in Student Government. Student Government works very closely with Student Involvement on campus through multiple facets just as it does for many of the organizations on campus. “Student Government is the largest student org and plays a very specific function within Student Involvement because of the necessity of advisors,” Mueller said. “Student Involvement is really important in providing Student Government advising staff.” Part of Mueller’s job is working with appropriations, which gives her the ability to work very closely with over 200 student organizations. From this, Mueller discussed her experience in interacting with all of the organizations on campus, the importance of Student Involvement in fostering the diversity of student organizations available on campus and the ability for students to start their own organizations. “If you want to start a new student organization, you go through Student Involvement, and Student Involvement is the one that sets up all of those rules and everything,” Muel-
ler said. Lindsay Wrege, a first-year studying biomedical engineering, and Elise Romola, a first-year studying business administration, did just this and are two of the four founders of 321 Coffee, a pop-up coffee shop run by individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities here at NC State. The organization was started during their first semester here at NC State, and they have watched it grow over the last few months. “I was originally inspired by what Amy Wright was doing over in Wilmington with Bitty and Beau’s,” Werge said. “I thought the concept was just something fantastic, and I wanted to bring something like it to my hometown and to NC State as a university.” Wrege commented on the support that the founders have seen from both students and faculty in founding 321 and how this outside support and interactions with the Student Involvement Center have allowed them to become registered and garner support. Moreover, the pair noted how much of an impact that the last few months had on their experience and what they believe it means for NC State. “It’s an easy way for students on campus to support a good cause and to be exposed to
different causes, not just our organization, but other organizations that are doing great community and beneficial things,” Romola said. “It’s a way for those students to walk around campus, see something that they may or may not have heard of or to start being a part of something. We are really giving, not just the special needs community, but college students the ability to interact with them.” Danielle Van Pelt, a fourth-year studying fashion and textile management, has been a part of NC State’s chapter of Dance Marathon since her first year at State. She has served on the board of directors for the last three years. Dance Marathon is an event through the Children’s Miracle Network that raises money for children in hospitals across America. Van Pelt feels like her time in student organizations has impacted her life. “One of my most shaping experiences of my college career has been being involved in student organizations, whether it be Dance Marathon or any of the other things that I’m involved in,” Van Pelt said. “I think student involvement and student orgs are not exactly a requirement but are something that really help you grow as an individual and as a leader. It’s just been a wonderful experience.”

Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month: Speak out Reading about sexual assault in the news is almost a daily occurrence. It happens so frequently that people have become desensitized to this concept and its consequencShivani es. According to Rape, Shirolkar Staff Columnist Abuse & Incest National Network (R AINN), an American is sexually assaulted every 98 seconds, but only six out of every 1,000 perpetrators actually end up imprisoned. Moreover, many cases go by unreported, so the numbers are possibly much higher. April, being National Sexual Assault Awareness month, needs to serve as a reminder of how serious the issue actually is. It shouldn’t stop at just being a reminder — these incidents must be reported and taken seriously. A few years ago, a guest columnist narrated an experience in which they called the police after being sexually and physically assaulted. They stated they were thankful for not going through the WolfAlert since they were afraid that it would result in name-calling from those who didn’t believe them. Fears like this would certainly make survivors feel hesitant about opening up, so it’s very impor-
tant for the student body to collectively support and affirm the feelings of those who come forward. NC State obser ves Sexua l Assault Awareness Month every year, and there are several events and workshops in store for the coming weeks to raise support for survivors on campus. Take Back the Night is an event in which students march to reclaim the night and our campus for survivors of sexual assault. It will be held on the Stafford Commons in front of Talley Student Union at 7 p.m. on Wednesday. As women, we’re told not to talk to strangers or stay out too late at night or drink too much. Though it’s not unwise to be cautious, sexual assault is never, ever the victim’s fault. Additionally, many times, caution goes out the window because the victim knows the perpetrator personally. Last year, there were three reports of sexual assault on campus that occurred at a party at Wolf Village apartments — and all three female students knew the male students who assaulted them. These students were very brave for stepping up and telling someone, but that doesn’t always occur. I understand that it’s scary to recount a traumatic incident.
At that instant, the easiest way out can be to forget that it ever happened and go along with your life. According to Time, many survivors on college campuses fail to report their assaults to the cops because they are afraid of not being believed. Some even blame themselves for being too naive and not putting up a fight. As I said earlier, it’s extremely important for the victim to remember that they are never at fault in a situation like this. There could be times when the entire episode falls in a gray area. Maybe the victim could have a hard time deciding if what happened to them was indeed assault, or if they’re merely overreacting. Although the official process of reporting the crime can be emotionally taxing on the victim and, in some cases, doesn’t guarantee them justice, it’s a good idea to, at the very least, confide in someone you trust. Likewise, as supporters of survivors, we should be showing compassion and emotional validation when someone decides to voice something that is clearly difficult to talk about. Women aren’t the only victims of sexual harassment. One out of every 10 rape victims is male, and this statistic is often forgotten. The Women’s Center and the
Counseling Center on campus will be holding a screening of a documentary by Dr. David Lasik at 5 p.m. on April 19 to support male survivors of assault, most of whom either delay disclosing or never disclose their assault. Last October, the #MeToo movement blew up on social media around the world in retaliation to American film producer Harvey Weinstein’s acts of sexual misconduct against several women in the workplace. It was originally started 10 years ago by activist Tarana Burke to help survivors of sexual misconduct reassure each other that they weren’t alone and that their feelings were acknowledged. Though many survivors took part in the cause by admitting they were sexually harassed, this movement seems to be fading, and we need to make sure its ability to make an impact does not disappear. Movements and protests like these will certainly help raise awareness, as they have done, but it is only speaking up and reporting these incidents that will take you a step in the direction of justice. It is equally necessary to empathize with survivors, and even guide them to resources such as support groups and counselors.
On March 25, President Trump tweeted: “…remember DACA, the Democrats aba ndoned you (but we will not)!” When talking about Trump it’s Joseph not much of a surprise to Rivenbark say that what he tweeted Correspondent isn’t true: he hasn’t got the best relationship with the truth. (He’s currently at 2,436 lies or misleading statements according to the Washington Post’s lie tracker.) What is notable, however, is what Trump is trying to accomplish with it. Back in September, the Trump administration announced the ending of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and, in doing so, urged Congress to find a solution. Since that point, Trump has narrowed the responsibility of finding a solution to Democratic congress members, who he claims have abandoned
DACA by not cooperating. But simply put, this is not the Democrats’ fault. It was an immoral and unethical action for Trump to end DACA, much less to do it and then blame the Democrats for it. Seeing that around 40 NC State students are affected directly by Trump’s DACA decision, and potentially more have relatives impacted, our campus has an obligation to keep track of who’s to blame for disruptions to this program. In light of the recent announcement by a U.S. District Judge allowing a lawsuit against the Trump DACA policy to proceed, as well as Trump’s recent tweet that he will no longer work towards a deal on DACA, it’s a fantastic opportunity to remind you why this crisis still matters, and more importantly why, in 2020, we need to remember that President Trump held DACA recipients hostage. Trump claims that Democrats aren’t cooperating in finding a better solution
to the DACA crisis. Ignoring the fact that Trump created the DACA crisis, the Democrats control neither house of Congress and so couldn’t pass a satisfactory version without substantial compromise. Notably, Trump offered a path to citizenship for the DACA “Dreamers” if Democrats agreed to pass funding for the border wall. But this “compromise” could result in serious voter backlash, as evidenced by an NPR poll which found that 60 percent of Americans believe that the border wall “wastes taxpayer money.” With members of Congress facing the threat of being voted out of office or losing a majority in the next election, it’s doubtful that either side is looking to compromise right now. Instead, Trump is really trying to make Democrats look like they’re uncooperative, by making them choose between a bad deal or nothing, which could hurt Democrats in the next election. Plus, if Democrats choose
the deal, it could fund the border wall, which was a large campaign promise that Trump ran on. In order to force a bad deal, Trump needs to pressure Democrats, and he has been able to use the 689,800 DACA recipients whose immigration status is in danger as that pressure. What Trump is essentially doing is holding over half a million individuals’ well-being hostage and demanding a ransom from the Democrats. With just over half of the DACA-eligible population being high school or college students, holding a program like this hostage not only hurts morally for a lot of us, it hurts personally. We have seen demonstrations supporting DACA in Raleigh and even on campus. Our peers will have to live with the fear of their immigration status being in jeopardy until this ordeal

Middle ground: finding a common goal in the abortion argument Abortion is at the center of a lot of strife in this country. As citizens, we should not underestimate the importance of this issue because, at its center, it is a life-and-death issue Connor that is compounded with Fraley questions of liberty. This Correspondent is not a subject that has faded out of people’s minds. Last month, the state of Mississippi adopted one of the most restrictive laws on abortion in history. The law was immediately litigated and has already become the subject of a temporary restraining order. In North Carolina, the set of laws governing abortion is relatively restrictive, prohibiting the procedure after 20 weeks unless there is a health risk for the mother. Additionally, only M.D.s are allowed to provide abortion services. Despite these policies, there were 27,138 abortions performed in North Carolina during 2016. It is important for students to be aware of the laws in their own states, given how widely policies can vary. As of 2014, North Carolina had 37 locations that perform abortions, most of them being near larger cities. Residents of rural counties may have a transportation barrier, but the dispersion of services throughout this state are not incredibly restrictive, certainly compared to states like Kentucky or South Dakota,

is settled. Previously, Trump has claimed that he would be willing to make a deal. While this might seem appealing initially, it has downsides. The main political concern is that it would jeopardize the chance of passing better legislation whenever Democrats regain control; legislators would be more willing to vote for a more far-reaching solution if it were a more pressing issue. Although if Democrats compromise, they might relieve some of the pressure in the short term, if they hold their ground until they have a majority and can make a deal on their own terms, they might solve the issue for good. Not only that, but of the bills that have come to a vote so far, none have passed.
which each have a single clinic for the entire state. Much of the activity on the subject of abortion takes place in the form of political lobbying, legislative action and court decisions about those legislative actions. The legal history of abortion continuing into the present is an excellent example of discussion, advocacy and the push and pull associated with finding a happy medium on an issue that people seem to be divided on. People spend so much of their time and money pitching and arguing their specific position to politicians. Some argue loudly that a fetus is a human being with the full rights of one. Others shout for a prioritization of liberty that gives women the right to choose whether or not to have and raise their own child. However, both sides get distracted from the common ground that both sides stand on: wellbeing for every child and every mother. On this issue is where most anti-abortion advocates have gone astray. Instead of seeking to make positive change in the lives of people who are considering abortion, these advocates instead go to the government to try to get them to stop the practice of abortion altogether. Pro-abortion rights advocates then spend much of their time and effort to combat these attempts in the political arena instead of working more on solving the underlying problems that cause abortion
to be a consideration. If the money and time spent on organizing a March for Life or lobbying legislatures like the state of Mississippi was instead spent on support programs through nonprofits, churches or education programs, there would be fewer abortions in this country. If the legal battles and protection efforts spent on behalf of upholding Roe v. Wade were instead spent on high quality sex education, creating funds for raising unintended children or adopting strategies to deter rape, fewer abortions would happen in this country. While the present form of the pro-life movement is one that is anti-choice, the self-named pro-choice side isn’t necessarily anti-life. People from both sides can agree that in an ideal world, no one in this country would ever feel the need to get an abortion. The problem is that neither side is giving enough effort to change the environment so that abortion is no longer an option that people have to turn to. If the environment of this country was one where unintended pregnancies were minimized, and community support was maximized, we could arrive at a beautiful middle ground where women retain their right to choose and choose the side of life every time. Everyone gets what they want, and we get there without stepping on anyone’s liberty.
Instead, we see this issue play out by proxy in the political sphere in an attempt to deal with the symptom of abortion instead of the root causes. With the powerful moderating voice of NC State students, our school and our great state can be a place where the country can begin to move forward on this issue that plays out at dinner tables and in classrooms alike. I would like to see a world in which there are no abortions. But I do not want that to mean that women are being forced to keep a child they cannot support, or bring to term a child that is the result of rape. I want that to mean that there are no unintended pregnancies. No mistakes. No rapes. No lack of education. And if these pregnancies do happen, I want it to mean that there is an environment with less poverty so that more people can deal with an unintended birth and that there is a nexus of community support so that a mother can give birth to a child knowing that it will be supported even if it is not by her. While this may seem like a utopian proposition, it is not as far away as you might think. Both sides of this issue share a goal and a lot of money behind them. A message of unity and humanity that unites these warring parties could, in a short time frame, bring this country to a time where the next abortion is the last one.
This includes one bipartisan bill which Trump threatened to veto shortly before the Senate voted. Trump has said he’s willing to make a deal, but his aides stated he will veto any bill that isn’t crafted around the White House’s immigration policy. As college students, since we are constantly burdened with responsibilities and new tasks, it can be hard to keep up with the news. More than that though, we as citizens are being bombarded with headline after headline with old ones fading in memory. But if there is one action that we can’t forget when 2020 rolls around, it’s Trump’s ransom of DACA recipients. We can’t let the fading of our memory convince us that the DACA crisis was the Democrats’ fault. Trump has killed DACA and is hoping that we all forget that he is guilty. But we must not forget. When the chance comes for us to make
a change, we must remember one of the cruelest things that our president has done and hold him accountable for it. The resolution to this problem doesn’t seem in sight yet. If the DACA crisis continues to affect the student body, we must
make sure that our university upholds their word and continues to “encourage support for DACA students” through legal counsel and more. Every member of the student body must be protected as promised until this issue is finally re-

Making the healthy choice: the unknown dining resources available to students Samuel Griffin Arts & Entertainment Editor
NC State students find themselves facing a glut of choices when deciding what to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each meal plan provides some sort of access to campus dining halls, which offer rotating, buffet-style courses all week long. Over a dozen restaurants are spread across Talley Student Union, the Atrium and the Oval. With this many options, it is hard enough for a student to pick where to eat, let alone decide what to eat. This poses a problem for the student hoping to grow not just mentally, but also physically during their time with the Wolfpack. While the college does provide many fitness resources to students in the form of a multi-million dollar gymnasium, exercise only makes up half of the modern
fitness equation. Picking amongst the thousands of meal options available to create the perfect diet is a daunting task; however, the campus does provide a series of lesser-known resources to help students create a meal plan within a meal plan specific to an individual’s health needs. Olivia Chadwick, an allergen specialist for NC State Dining, said that this process is actually easier than ever thanks to a robust nutrition database. The database, located on the NC State Dining website, allows users to search by location for any food offered on NC State’s campus and examine its nutritional information. “Three times a day, one of our nutrition specialist employees will refresh it for each meal and each item,” Chadwick said. “We try to make it really transparent so that everyone knows exactly goes

into our food.” Using this database, dietitians in training can examine any item served on NC State’s campus for all sorts of health benefits and detriments. For instance, a cheeseburger at Tuffy’s Diner in Talley Student Union is 691.1 calories and contains 40.3 grams of protein, 13.6 grams of saturated fat and 1393.8 milligrams of sodium. This information is painstakingly categorized by a team of “dining diplomats” who are usually nutrition undergraduates, according to Chadwick. The database also includes nutritional information for third-party campus partners found on NC State like Chick-fil-A and Starbucks. Jillian Schoening, a Meredith College dietetic intern working with NC State Dining, said that this information is
served to NC State students in more ways than one. “If they use the MyFitnessPal app, all of the items at NC State are already programmed in,” Schoening said. “They just have to click on it and all the information is there.” While this tool is very powerful, having all of the nutritional information available for what you eat and knowing what to do with it are two very different things. For students who mostly eat in Fountain, Clark and Case Dining Halls, the “dietitian’s dish” tool offers a good template for healthy eating. The dietitian’s dish, as the name suggests, is a meal plan created by Lisa Eberhart, one of NC State’s three dietitians. These meals are all based on what is available on a given

Upcoming Puppy Palooza to help de-stress, give back
BRANON LANG/ARCHIVE
Lola, one of the many dogs at Puppy Palooza, hosted by Phi Gamma Delta and Chi Omega, waits to be played with by NC State students. The event was held to raise money for Pawfect Match Rescue, a local dog rescue shelter and raised nearly $1,200. The Puppy Palooza was held on Harris Field, in front of Witherspoon Student Center.
Emily Hench Correspondent
Now that exams are a mere month away, an increase on coursework and overall stress is all but guaranteed. However, this upcoming event seeks to let students spend an afternoon relaxing with one of the best methods of de-stressing: puppies. Puppy Palooza, as the name suggests, is an event where students have the opportunity to play with puppies for an afternoon. Hosted by the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, in collaboration with the Pawfect Match Rescue, the event has been a common occurrence at NC State for several years and is held once each semester. “Pawfect Match Rescue will bring out some puppies and they’ll be out under the tent,” said Sam Stafford, a third-year studying aerospace engineering and the group’s corresponding secretary. “So you’ll come up, pay for a ticket, then once
you have a ticket you can go in and play with the puppies. We’ll also be accepting donations for the shelter as well. When we give the shelter the money we earn from the event, they’re able to provide more space for puppies that they normally wouldn’t have been able to afford otherwise. So since they’re able to keep them there longer, they’re more likely to get adopted.” Many members of Phi Gamma Delta are dog lovers themselves, including Ryan Kissinger, a third-year studying psychology and biological sciences, and the group’s current philanthropy chair. “I myself am a dog lover,” Kissinger said. “I love spending time with puppies and it’s a good stress reliever. I have a dog myself, and nothing beats just sitting down and petting your dog, especially puppies. It’s just an opportunity to take a break from whatever is going on in your life, it supports a good cause and it’s a good social
event.” The event is a boon for any dog lover, whether it is just for a quick stop between classes or an afternoon-long visit. “My favorite part of the event is seeing everyone take pictures with the puppies, hanging out with them, playing with them [...] everyone always gets good pictures from it to put on their Instagram and all that,” Stafford said. Phi Gamma Delta have partnered with the Pawfect Match Rescue for each instance of the event. “The shelter we partner with, Pawfect Match Rescue, is just a really neat shelter,” Kissinger said. “It’s kind of small. They rely on volunteers. All of their dogs are fostered and tended to on a regular basis, and they’re really thorough in making sure they find a home where they’ll be treated well. I don’t know where the idea for the event originally came from, but it’s just something we’ve continued because
it’s definitely for a great cause.” Though the event does have a small entry fee of $3, all of the proceeds from the event will be donated directly to Pawfect Match Rescue. “For students, it’s a chance to help give towards a good cause; I mean, it’s helping puppies,” Stafford said. “Second, it’s also a major stress reliever for sure, to be able to just hang out with people and play with some puppies.” The event has had a good turnout in the past, and Kissinger hopes that the same can be said for this year as well. “In the past, we normally have around five hundred students come out,” Kissinger said. “It‘s always been fairly successful, but I’m hoping that this one is going to top them all. We’re gonna try to do different things this year, so we will see how it goes.” Puppy Palooza will be held in Stafford Commons on April 29 from 2:30 to 5 p.m.

day in the dining halls. “Every single day, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we create a healthy meal based on the service menu looking forward and picking out all five food groups for every single meal,” Chadwick said. “You don’t have to follow it exactly, but it’s a really good to use as a template to figure out how to eat healthy if you have no clue.” The updating guideline is also available on the Campus Dining website. For students who want a more specific plan based on their individual needs, every student is allowed two free meetings with one of NC State’s registered dietitians each academic year. Also available to students is a new wellness coaching program that only began this semester. The program pairs students with coaches who assist with setting and maintaining various health goals, including nutrition and weight management. “We help students set goa ls and achieve their goals — anything related
to nutrition, time management, sleep, managing your emotions,” said Alexis Steptoe, the wellness coordinator for University Recreation. “All of those things fall under the wellness umbrella.” Students meet with coaches one-onone weekly to discuss the successes and setbacks they experience in relation to their goals. Steptoe said the program is less about going to the gym with students and more about building a participant’s resilience. “We check in,” Steptoe said. “‘Were you successful? Were you not successful? What happened and how can we help you find something that might be a better fit for you?’” Steptoe said the new program is a replacement for a program called “#COMMIT,” which also paired students with wellness coaches, but charged $60 for the eight-week program. “Most everybody wants to live a happier, healthier, less stressed life,” Steptoe said. “We didn’t think that it would be wise to limit it to just those who could afford that fee. Now it’s a totally free service and any student can go on our website and book an appointment.” Meeting with campus dietitians and
wellness coaches and utilizing online guidelines are all great starts to a healthier lifestyle. One other resource provided by NC State offers students a skill they can take with them away from college: cooking. Multiple times a month, NC State Dining hosts cooking demos based around a variety of topics such as international cooking, allergy-free dishes, and vegan and vegetarian options. These demonstrations are hosted by university chefs and are available to both students and staff for free. “Dining would get the chefs and get the ingredients and plan the event,” Chadwick said. “It’s based on what our chefs do. They pick some recipes and then we design the menu cart to hand out to participants.” Chadwick said these events are hosted all over campus in locations like 1887 Bistro. Future events can be found on the NC State dining events page. These lessons can be easily applied to low-carb or high-protein diets. With these tools and resources, planning a healthier food schedule becomes — if not easy — possible for the average student.

Rizzi finding place with NC State softball Camden Speight Staff Writer
NC State was the start to a new chapter of sophomore outfielder Angie Rizzi’s life. She is from Tuckahoe, New York, and attended LIUBrooklyn for her first year of college before transferring to Raleigh to play softball. With any big change, there are always nerves at first, but Rizzi was able to settle in and adapt to her new situation. She credits her focus for her ability to get things done on and off the field. “I didn’t know how the girls would treat me, how they would like me, how different it would be from being in New York, being so close to home,” Rizzi said. “That’s probably the hardest thing for me right now is being eight to nine hours away. I do get homesick and I do miss home, but I don’t let that affect me.” The transition to North Carolina has been smooth and she has found new friends and even new foods to enjoy. “My friend Sam [Russ] always takes me to Zaxby’s. Always,” Rizzi said. “I fell in love with it the first time. She got me hooked on it and we basically go once every week.” Rizzi’s collegiate success should come as no surprise since she batted .488 in high school and was named to the Journal News Westchester/Putnam All-Star First Team in 2016, when she hit .582 with nine home runs. Last season, Rizzi put up impressive stats at LIU-Brooklyn, batting .354 and leading her team with a .416 on-base percentage. Stats were all head coach Shawn Rychcik had to go off of when adding her to the team over the summer. “We didn’t get a chance to see her because it was really late in the summer,” Rychcik said. “Almost down to days left from when she’d be able to get admitted in so we didn’t actually see her. She came in and we looked at her stats, did quite a few phone calls. … One of my former players, from when I was in Boston, was in the league as a head coach in her league and I said ‘How good is she?’ and she said, ‘She’s a stud.’” NC State had the opportunity to play LIUBrooklyn in the Florida Gulf Coast Kickoff Classic in February, where the Pack won 101. Rizzi was nervous for the game, but was relieved by her experience of playing her old team. “In the first inning the coach saw me,” Rizzi said. “He waved at me and at the end of the game he hugged me and said that they miss me and to keep doing my thing and that made me feel a lot better. I didn’t want to end things on a bad note. We respected each other at the end of the day and that’s the biggest thing I wanted, but it was fun to play them. It was fun to see my old teammates and my old coaches.” The sophomore is batting .261 so far this sea-

son, but has battled through a slump in the beginning of the year. Rizzi hasn’t allowed the slow start to get in her head. “I think one of my strengths is definitely dealing with my slump,” Rizzi said. “I had one already in like the beginning of the year. I told myself not to get frustrated because it is totally different from where I’ve been between the pitching to the atmosphere so I just told myself, do what I do, just make contact and things will happen and it started happening and it finally made me feel better.” Being a student-athlete comes with its own challenges, but Rizzi described how being a student always comes first. Finding the right balance between her assignments and her leisure is always tricky. “If I get an assignment, I try to get it done
that day or that night in-between practices,” Rizzi said. “Between Wednesday practices I get it done, or between class and practice. I get it done. I have one class a day and I get out at 11:30, practice doesn’t start until two or three, so I try to get as much done between then.” While studying sport management, she hopes to get an internship this summer with some of her friends at a batting cage that teaches baseball and softball. In her free time she’s either at the beach or working out. The outfielder said she works out every day and that she couldn’t live without it. Her coaches and teammates all seem to admire that work ethic. “I think she’s been able to become more of a vocal leader,” Rychcik said. “But it all starts for her as someone joining the team new and in
the beginning of the year. It comes from just how her work ethic is in the weight room, on the practice field, during our conditioning, so things like that, and I think she’s really proven that to the rest of the team that she’s very committed about what she’s doing.” Her main goal is focused on the team and bringing success to the program, and in her eyes the young NC State softball team has a bright future ahead of it. “If I help them win somehow and get to where we want to get, that’s one of my goals,” Rizzi said. “That’s why I transferred to NC State, because I wanted a chance to go to the College World Series and I think if we all get our heads into it and play the way we know how to play, I think we have a really good shot at it.”

Ogden continuing to improve in doubles play Drew McNatton Staff Writer
NC State men’s tennis is 13-5 so far this year, and it wouldn’t be there without redshirt junior Michael Ogden, who has been a great player for NC State throughout his time, winning more than 10 matches combined in each of his three years he has competed. The team struggled for a bit in ACC play but also started the season 9-0 while running through nonconference play. The Wolfpack finished nonconference play at 10-1, including a win over then-No. 22 Tennessee in Knoxville. The Pack has a 3-4 record in the ACC, a tough tennis conference that includes the current No. 1 team in the country, Wake Forest. Head coach Kyle Spencer, however, preaches a mentality with the team that no matter the score, play your game and focus on getting better. “We look at the team as a whole of how do we get better,” Spencer said. “How do we compete at the highest level? How does each person in the spot that they’re placed in for that match handle their situation? I think we’ve been very pleased as a coaching staff with how the guys have responded to those challenges. Not every match is going to be perfect and by that token, not every match is going to give you the result that you want, but this team is really embraced the coaching and the practicing and just the ability to forget about what the score is and just try to take whatever the situation in the match is, and try to execute as best they can.” Ogden this year has played in just 10 singles matches, going 6-4, compared to the 34 he played in last season, going 14-20. Spencer says that Ogden is still very much in the singles lineup if needed despite Ogden not being in a singles match from Jan. 13 until he played back-to-back singles matches at the end of March. “I don’t think he’s been a doubles player” Spencer said. “I think we just have a really competitive lineup, and he got sick earlier in the year, and he’s had, not injuries, but a couple of setbacks where it’s taken him a little bit longer to get back into the fold. He’s absolutely one of our options and I think he’s shown his prowess at the national level in doubles and I fully expect him to be able to in singles whenever we need him.”
Ogden looks at the situation as a way to improve his doubles game with a new set of coaches that came in this year. “It’s been good,” Ogden said. “I’ve been able to focus on the doubles a lot more and with these coaches. They have a good background in doubles and my doubles games has definitely progressed a lot. Obviously it’s tough not being in singles as much, but we have really good competition with all the guys in the lineup and me and a couple other guys just outside push each other really well and always ready to go whenever I need to be.” Ogden has played with two different partners, junior Georgiy Malyshev and sophomore Alexis Galarneau, for all but one match this season. With Malyshev, Ogden has won four matches and he has won 11 matches with Galarneau as his partner, and is ranked 63rd in the nation for doubles with Galarneau. “It doesn’t affect the way I play really; the communication is a little different,” Ogden said. “Georgiy and Alexis have different strengths but I try to keep my game the same, that’s what coach says, and it’s not that big of change. I played really well with Georgiy when we did, and obviously me and Alexis have a good history together, but for all the doubles lineups we have the same philosophy and I trust that each one of those guys can do what they have to do so it’s a pretty smooth transition.” Ogden has shown flashes of greatness including two semifinals appearances in singles tournaments last year. Over the last two years, Ogden has also added three more semifinals appearances in doubles and one finals appearance in the 2017 ITA Division 1 Carolina Regional Championship with Galarneau, where they were defeated by a pair from Wake Forest. Ogden has continued to work hard at his game to get better. “Michael is just one of the hardest workers and nicest people that you could ever meet,” Spencer said. “What he’s really starting to understand is the development of his game, how to use his weapons, and his weapons are vast and harnessing that into a single very simple focus has been his challenge and each week he continues to get better, and better and better. He’s a pleasure to coach and I’m super excited for his development and his future.”

Wolfpack raking in postseason honors
Head coach Pat Popolizio motivates an NC State wrestler. The NC State wrestling team beat Duke 34-6 in the ACC opener at Reynolds Coliseum on Jan. 11, 2017.
Alec Sawyer
Assistant Sports Editor
With men’s and women’s basketball coming to an end this week, a large portion of the NCAA spring championship slate has drawn to a close and honors and awards are being handed out to players and coaches. NC State Athletics has had its fair share of postseason award recipients and winners, highlighted by a national championship for redshirt senior wrestler Michael Macchiavello and five individual national championships, won by six different student-athletes, in men’s swimming. Here is a recap of just some of the awards that Wolfpack athletes and coaches have garnered: Pat Popolizio, ACC Wrestling Coach of the Year In his sixth season in charge of the NC State Wrestling program, Popolizio was honored with the coach of the year award for the first time, after leading the Wolfpack to a program-record fourth-place finish at
the NCAA Championships. NC State finished the ACC regular season at 5-0, capturing the school’s first ACC Dual Championship since 2004. At the ACC Championships, the Pack finished second before going to NCAAs and capturing fourth, behind Macchiavello’s national championship at 197 pounds. It was a banner year for the Pack wrestling program, and the honor for Popolizio was well earned. Popolizio was also named one of eight finalists for the Theraworx Coach of the Year, given to the top coach in the country. Michael Macchiavello, ACC Wrestler of the Year Macchiavello capped off his collegiate career with an improbable national championship, beating conference foe Jared Haught of Virginia Tech in the national title match. Macchiavello finished the season 22-3. With his national title, Macchiavello became the first Wolfpack wrestler since Nick Gwiazdowski in 2015 to capture gold at NCAAs, and also became just the second ever wrestler from the state of North Caro-
lina to bring home a national title. Braden Holloway, ACC Men’s Swimming Coach of the Year This award might as well be named after Holloway at this point, as the front man for the Wolfpack has now collected it four years in a row, and five times in his seven-year stint with NC State. Holloway led the men’s team to its fourth straight ACC Championship this season, and also brought the Pack to its third straight fourth-place finish at NCAAs. Holloway has molded NC State into a national powerhouse in the pool, and the awards will continue to pile in for him as long as the Pack keeps winning. Andreas Vazaios, ACC Men’s Swimmer of the Year Vazaios, a junior from Greece, captured the top honors for ACC men’s swimmers after an impressive season for the Pack. Vazaios won two national titles at the NCAA Championships: individually in the 200-yard butterfly and as a member of the 800-yard freestyle relay team.
LOGAN LABO/TECHNICIAN
Vazaios was also a force at the ACC meet, winning two relays and the 200-yard individual medley. He also had podium finishes in two other events at ACCs, to help lead the Pack to its fourth straight conference title. With the ACC Men’s Swimmer of the Year nod, Vazaios makes it four years in a row that an NC State swimmer has won the award. Simonas Bilis won for the Pack in 2015 and 2016, and senior Ryan Held took home the honor in 2017. Chelsea Nelson, All-ACC First Team Nelson, the senior leader of the Wolfpack women’s basketball team, was named firstteam All-ACC for the first time in her career. As the only returning starter for the Pack, Nelson helped lead her team to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament and the semifinals of the ACC Tournament in what should have been a rebuild year. Nelson fronted the Pack with 12.9 points per game this season, and also added a teamhigh 9.4 rebounds per game. In the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament against Duke, Nelson grabbed an outstanding 22 rebounds.

Offense powering Pack to hot ACC start Jason Bacherman Staff Writer
The NC State baseball team is off to a hot start in conference play as the team enters April with an impressive 23-5 record and a 9-3 ACC record, tops in the Atlantic division. The Pack has yet to drop an ACC series, winning four straight, including a series win at Virginia Tech this past weekend, behind a potent offense and solid pitching. Here are some takeaways from the first month and a half of the season:
be. Redshirt junior Austin Staley made 31 appearances in relief and logged a 3.59 ERA in 2017 but has yet to make an appearance in 2018 due to injury. Freshmen Reid Johnston and Nick Swiney have been excellent out of the bullpen in their first year of college baseball. Johnston picked up the win against Virginia Tech Saturday and now owns a 1.80 ERA in 25 innings with four saves while Swiney has a solid 2.05 ERA. Sophomore left-hander Kent Klyman, redshirt junior Nolan Clenney and redshirt senior Joe O’Donnell are other relief options that have earned head coach Elliott Avent’s trust coming out of the bullpen.

North Carolina Football Club and the North Carolina Courage have begun their seasons and have gotten off to different starts. The Courage, of the National Women’s Soccer League, is 2-0-0 after two thrilling wins. On March 24, it opened the season with a 1-0 win over the defending NWSL champions, Portland Thorns FC, on a second-half goal from Debinha in the 70th minute. In the second game of the season, Jessica McDonald scored in stoppage time, the only goal of the game, to help the Courage to victory and an undefeated start to the season, albeit through two games. Goalkeeper Sabrina D’Angelo has yet to allow a goal this season in net for the Courage.
The Courage has next week off before returning to action April 14 in Boyds, Maryland, to take on the Washington Spirit, who the Courage beat all in all three matchups last year. On the other hand, NCFC has not gotten off to a good start in its first season back in the United Soccer League after leaving the North American Soccer League after last season. The team welcomed the Tampa Bay Rowdies to WakeMed Soccer Park to open the season, but fell 3-1. Steven Miller scored the only goal of the game for the home team. After a cancellation against Louisville on March 24, NCFC traveled to Virginia to face the Richmond Kickers and fell 2-1. Daniel Rios gave NCFC a first-half lead, but the Kickers responded with two late second-half goals. NCFC sits 0-2-0 after two games and returns to action April 7 against the Indy Eleven at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary.
