TRI DELTA LOSES CHARTER, DROPS FALL PLEDGES AFTER YEARS OF DECLINING MEMBERSHIP AT N.C STATE Marty DeFrancesco Correspondent

The Epsilon Eta chapter of Delta Delta Delta sorority is now in its last year of sisterhood at N.C. State. The chapter plans to close at the end of the upcoming spring semester. “Right now, we are all heartbroken,” said Delta Delta Delta president Katherine Jordan. “It is painful to see something you love and have worked so hard for go away. But, we have all grown stronger through the situation and we have found lifelong friendships through Tri Delta. I could not be prouder of the chapter.” Tri Delta’s Executive Office granted the sorority its charter in 2007. Though the chapter

initially had 102 members, membership had dropped to about 82 by last spring. Shelly Dobek, interim director of Greek life, said Tri Delta’s national organization made the decision not to renew the sorority’s charter in partnership with the Department of Greek Life. “It was the national organization’s decision, but we worked with them on the logistics of how to make that happen,” Dobek said. “Then we tried to support the chapter to make sure they were best prepared to move forward.” The national organization had to re-evaluate the viability of the Epsilon Eta chapter after several consecutive semesters of decreased membership and retention, according to Dobek.

As students become more dependent on w i reles s devices, universities struggle to keep up with bandwidth needs. N.C.

able to get them to where we needed to be,” Dobek said. According to Jordan, the sisters of Tri Delta have stayed true to their original values in dealing with the organization’s unfortunate circumstance. Jordan said she thought of her sisters’ potential “littles,” and the importance of equality after hearing about the cancellation. “It would not be fair to the new members to be given a bid to Tri Delta and then only the opportunity for one year of life in a sorority,” Jordan said. For the rest of the year, Tri Delta will continue to operate as an active Greek organization.

“It essentially comes down to the rebuilding of Greek Court,” Jordan said. “With a smaller chapter size, Tri Delta National would not be able to afford the multi-million dollar mortgage that the new chapter house would require. They did not see it as an investment worth their while.” The national organization gave the chapter one final chance to hold a successful fall rush and gain enough support to save the chapter, but after a final analysis by Dobek and a vote by the national organization, national officials decided to cancel the fall recruitment and close the chapter at the end of the year. “We looked at the first couple of nights [of recruitment] and made a decision before preference that we didn’t think we would be

the associate director of data networking with OIT, these access points used to only have to accommodate a few people per classroom—that number has multiplied in recent years. James said that last year there were about 13,000 wireless connections at one time. This year, that number has risen to about 17,000 connections. In order to meet those needs, the University needs to add more access points—that requires more money. According to James, the OIT department is about $430,000 short annually, just in terms of keeping the

Administrators voted to change the name of Talley Student Center to reflect the new building’s importance as a collaborative meeting place last November. After months of deliberation during the fall 2012 semester, the University Students Center Board of Directors voted 13-8 in favor of renaming the building to the Talley Student Union. According to The College Union Idea, a book by Porter Butts, college unions were started by debating societies in England and are still closely tied to social and intellectual pursuits today.

DATA continued page 2

The book also says these unions are a place where “individuals come together through activities and work, forming a community.” “The change from center to union may seem minor, but [the University Students Center Board of Directors] believes that this renaming is strategic and of high importance as Phase one of the New Talley opens in the fall 2013,” said Sarah Price, president of Student Centers at N.C. State and member of the USC board, in a February 2013 letter. Price addressed problems with the previous name. She said the word “center” mainly relates to a location, whereas the word “union” emphasizes

the community and its programs. Associate Director of the University Students Center Board of Directors, TJ Willis, said the Talley construction project presented a chance to rebrand the building with a new name, and the name symbolizes students and faculty from various departments coming together. Willis also said Talley’s new name is reflected by the building’s design. The new Talley will unify dining, campus groups, office suites and study space in a single, shared building with an open design. Some of the furniture can be easily moved to start a study group, creating a one-stop-shop for

students. Office suites will include glass walls and windows to promote visibility and cooperation among departments. According to Wesley Lo, president of the University Students Center Board of Directors, the new Talley will also include lounge spaces and “collaboration stations” where students can connect their laptops and phones together for study groups. Willis said these attributes will help solve some problems with the old Talley Student Center. “You could be sitting in an office [at the old Talley] and you couldn’t see into other

Major Exploration Series continues, students view science and textiles Rachel Coffman Correspondent

Students who haven’t decided their majors got the opportunity to explore what the College of Sciences and the College of Textiles have to offer at Witherspoon Student Center Wednesday afternoon. The event was a part of N.C. State’s Major Exploration Series, a collection of open house events hosted by every college on campus. The series began Tuesday and will continue through the first week in October. At the event, students visited informational booths where representatives from both colleges gave broad overviews of majors and answered specific questions pertaining to their interests. Jordan McMican, an academic advisor and liaison between N.C. State’s First Year College and the College of Sciences, helped coordinate the event. “The explorations series are open to anyone trying to decide on a major,” McMican said. “At these fairs, students can speak with college representatives and student ambassadors to get connected with faculty and gain more information than they would just searching Student Special NC State TC072013.pdf 1 7/29/2013 5:09:55 PM online.” Jeremy Evivie, a freshman in First Year College, said he attended the event to gain information about switching from an engineering path to a biological one.

“I’m on an engineering track currently in classes like E-115, so, I wasn’t sure how to consider another major,” Evivie said. “It made me a lot more comfortable to realize that there’s some flexibility in my schedule until sophomore year.” Representatives from different departments in the College of Sciences gave students fouryear course planners and explained career path opportunities. At the mathematics department booth, College of Sciences Director of Undergraduate Enrollment Mike Smith said there are research and study abroad opportunities across the world for math and science majors. Smith said the College of Sciences helps undecided students with interests in science fields get into contact with faculty dedicated to helping discover a major fit for them. On the opposite side of the Witherspoon Student Center, representatives from the College of Textiles recruited students for their Student Special NC State TC072013.pdf 1 7/29/2013 5:09:55 PM programs. Student ambassadors also showed students examples of textile products such as shoes, heart valves, scrubbing pads, car belts and diapers. “Our visuals show students that textiles are about more than just clothing,” said Kelsy Fuller, a junior in textile technology and a stuELIZABETH DAVIS/TECHNICIAN dent ambassador for the college. “We like to Students attending the College Exploration Series were able to learn about the different

Some wireless devices, such as cell phones and tablets, are already seeing deficiencies in their capabilities on campus. James said that this is partially due to their size. “In your laptop, they can put an antenna around the whole outer edge of a laptop,” James said. “Cell phones are typically a lot more sensitive to signal strength.” Additionally, James said that even when a mobile device is not being used it still pulls resources from the access points as soon it is instructed to use N.C.

another problem with cell phones is they are constantly conserving battery power, and that is “inhibiting the performance” of the devices. More funding and access points would undoubtedly help promote signal strength and allow these devices to function as advertised. Despite funding issues, OIT is attempting to better the network in several innovative ways. According to Nesbitt, OIT completed a project last summer in an attempt to ac com mod ate more connections—it divided all of the buildings on N.C. State’s campus into subnets.

James also said that there has been a lot of work done on the “back-end” of the network, which has allowed for faster connections. “We’re in the process of upgrading the wireless controllers to a newer version which can handle more—it has four times the capacity,” James said. James said there really haven’t been any full system crashes this semester.

Civil disobedience: Keeping systemic evil at bay

etween Aaron Swartz, Edward Snowden and, most recently, Chelsea Manning, it seems whistleblowing has become a trend. Swartz, co-founder of Reddit, illegally downloaded academic journals as a step toward open sourcing. Snowden leaked top-secret information about American and British mass surveillance programs to The Guardian. And Manning, formerly known as Pfc. Bradley Manning, violated Megan the Espionage Act by leaking Ellisor the largest set of classified Viewpoint Editor documents ever released to the public. And though the justice system will say otherwise, Swartz, Snowden and Manning did the public a favor. In June, Time published the results of a poll it conducted about Snowden. Despite the fact that 54 percent of the respondents said Snowden did a good thing, 53 percent still said he should be prosecuted for leaking infor-

Who will win the N.C. State-Clemson game and why? What will be the final score? BY HUNTER JOHNSON

“Clemson, sadly. We’ll try hard, but in the end it’s going to be Clemson because they are ranked number three, they have Tajh Boyd and Sammy Watkins, and we seem to be struggling with our injuries this year. 46-34.” Danielle Knapp-Smith junior, conservation biology

“State will win because we’re State, and Niklas Sade will come through with the last field goal. 28-27.” Chris Brasier freshman, engineering

“Clemson is going to win because they are a heck of a lot better, and State almost lost to an FCS school. We’re also playing with a backup quarterback. 52-14.” David Folk freshman, engineering

“State will win because connections say the quarterback is throwing the game. 59-3.” Greg Trotta freshman, First Year College

mation about the National Security Agency. Twenty-eight percent said he should not. These results are significantly different when we concentrate on the 18 to 34 age group. Seventy percent of that group believed he “did a good thing,” and only 41 percent said he should face charges. Forty-three percent said he should not face any charges. Some people have questioned what this says about the morality of the younger generation. In The Opinion Pages of The New York Times, Peter Ludlow, a professor of philosophy at Northwestern University, argued that the younger generation has not, in fact, lost its moral compass. “Clearly, there is a moral principle at work in the actions of the leakers, whistleblowers and hacktivists and those who support them. I would also argue that that moral principle has been clearly articulated, and it may just

tively. The information Snowden released has made more Americans wary of their security. To add to the governmental distrust, the documents and videos Manning released show the U.S. military tortured its prisoners. The public deserved to know almost all of the information the informers shared. Unfortunately for the informers, our laws landed Manning 35 years in prison, made Snowden a fugitive and earned Swartz a 35-year sentence, which many believe contributed to his decision to commit suicide in January. It seems the justice system is issuing these harsh sentences so as to make an example of the few people who were willing to step out of line for the betterment of others. This serves as a threat, effectively silencing people who know about governmental injustices. We would like to think our world is far better than the dystopia in George Orwell’s 1984. In some ways, ours is worse—at least Big Brother told the people of Oceania that he was watching them.

“What are you going to do with that?”

hen meeting new people, it’s inevitable that the conversation will lull into the last resort of the vaguely interested with someone posNicky Vaught ing the quesDeputy Features t ion, “S o, Editor what are you studying?” When I tell people I double major in psychology and women’s and gender studies, I usually elicit one of two responses: “Oh, that’s cool,” or, “Oh, that’s cool, so, like, what are you going to do with that?” Though I know exactly the path I plan to pursue with both of these degrees, I tend to shy away from sharing because, really, it’s not anyone’s business. Typically, I follow the example of my peers and retort that I’ll frame it or smash the patriarchy and change the world. Unsatisfied with this sort of response, my conversation partner will either leave or change the subject. But I want to know why anyone is interested in what a stranger at a party is going to do with his or her life anyway. Maybe students in the hard sciences have myriad connections in the humanities and social sciences and constantly seek to help their rightbrain friends. That would help to explain why no one ever asks fashion and textiles students what they plan to, uh, do, with their lives. Unfortunately, this is probably not true. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics majors probably told regularly about how secure their jobs are and how they won’t need graduate school to earn a six-figure salary after college. Meanwhile, some of these same STEM majors express some sort of superiority complex by sporting uncreative t-shirts that boast the best part of being an engineer is not being a liberal arts student and not having to work at McDonald’s (yeah,

really). Why is it that some STEM majors feel the need to put their liberal arts friends down? Is it because they might eventually make more money than us? Why is it that some students who have heard someone else say, in a snarky tone, “What are you going to do, be a counselor?” feel the need to repeat that phrase? And what’s so bad about being a counselor, anyway? These engineering students seem to harness their own inner-counselor every time they say, “You know you’ll have to go to grad school, right?” Could it be that these finance students, these engineering zombies, these STEM whatevers feel an incessant urge to criticize the decisions of us liberal arts students because they envy what we have? And if so, what is it that we have? We have our education—a rich one. We get to read about Betty Friedan and William James and D.T. Suzuki and Allen Ginsberg. They read about velocity. We get poetry and opinions. They get formulas and rigid answer keys. We’re studying for our own betterment. They’re studying for a job. I don’t mind that I have to go to graduate school because it’s four more years of learning the things I want to learn. It’s engulfing myself in the topics of my choosing with like-minded people who feel as strongly as I do about the topics I study. So to all the people who have ever asked me, “What are you going to do with that?” I leave you with two questions: Why don’t we see STEM students in graduate school more often? What, in your eyes, is the purpose of education, if not just to get a job? And to answer that popular question: Whatever the heck I want.

The state is not the solution

f I were to take $20,000 from your family in order to further some cause I hold to be noble or even essential for my own Joshua Chen or someone else’s Guest Columnist well-being, would that be right of me? If I were to take $10,000 from your family and $10,000 from your best friend’s family for the same reason, would this make my actions any less wrong? What about $1 from each of 20,000 families? What if I set up an institution to help others in my position to do the same— to take a small amount of money from all families in the United States? What if I called this institution the government? Those who reject the premise of taxation on the basis of its morality (or lack thereof) are often thought of as greedy, selfish and uncompassionate. They say that taxation is theft and that theft—and therefore taxation—is immoral. Are they so privileged as to be blinded from the existence of the needy and the less fortunate? How can those who claim to have the moral upper hand reject the institution which provides welfare to the needy and financial assistance to the jobless? In order to answer these questions, it is important to recognize the nature of the state: Governments merely redistribute wealth—they do not create it. The government does not produce its own goods and does not by itself generate the capital required for the operation of

save us from a dystopian future,” Ludlow said. Unfortunately, whistleblower is synonymous with words such as tattletale and rumormonger. The June issue of Time magazine, which featured Swartz, Snowden and Manning on its cover, got rid of these hostile words, instead referring to them collectively as “The Informers.” This name is more accurate, as it incites less pessimistic feelings. Swartz, as a believer in the open source initiative, used his hacking skills to release academic journals. Restricting journal access to only those who can afford the subscription contributes to the increasing disparity between the rich and the poor. Swartz attempted to level the playing field by making this information public.

its services. It is the taxpayers who fund each and every thing the government does. Unfortunately, it is much easier to see the benefits of such government programs than it is to see the millions of people who fund them. Take a look at N.C. State as a microcosm—we see the hundreds of students on our sports fields participating in our Intramural Sports leagues, but the thousands of students who pay $157.18 per year for this program, who may not use the prog r a m s , go unnoticed. Every pen ny t he government spends must first be taken from the hands of its citizens via taxation. And in short, the government does not provide the aforementioned welfare checks and unemployment benefits. Instead, it takes money from one group of individuals and redistributes it to another. At this point in the discussion, those who denounce the institution of taxation will cry, “Theft, theft!” as if they aren’t aware that the system was implemented by a government of the people, for the people, by the people— as if it still counts as theft, even though it has been institutionalized on a collective scale. As if it’s wrong to strip individuals of their freedoms; to ultimately lock them up in jail cells for refusing to pay the “fair share” of the fruits

of their own labor to an imposing collective. As if we should be free to pursue our own lives, liberties and happiness. But theft is theft whether it is on an individual scale or a collective one. It is not wrong for people to keep their own wealth and manage it as they see fit. The existence of needs does not validate the infringement of rights via the state’s redistribution of wealth. Compassionate people will voluntarily c ho o s e to help the unfortun at e w it h t hei r ow n resources, but there is no altruism found in getting the government to force someone else to do the same. In the words of libertarian advocate and magician Penn Jillette, doing so would be “immoral self-righteous bullying laziness.” “People need to be fed, medicated, educated, clothed and sheltered,” Jillette said. “If we’re compassionate, we’ll help them, but you get no moral credit for forcing other people to do what you think is right. There is great joy in helping people, but no joy in doing it at gunpoint.” Needs will always exist in any society, but it is up to each person to take responsibility for those needs. Theft should hardly be an option. The state is not the solution.

PieBird takes off in national food competition Kaitlin Montgomery Staff Writer

Sheilagh Duncan, better known as the pie boss, is leading her restaurant, PieBird, into the U.S. Foods Next Top Product competition. “We entered for North Carolina and South Carolina and I guess for West Virginia too,” Duncan said. “We already won for our district so now we got to our region and compete against other people.” U.S. Foods Next Top Product asked PieBird to join its competition because of its quirky pies, specifically PieBird’s Bananas ‘n Pajamas Pie, a pie with an Oreo cookie crust layered with bananas, chocolate hazelnut ganache and white chocolate custard topped with whipped cream. Duncan said her baker, Ruby Arthur, is the reason that PieBird has so many unique pie flavors. “We have lots of cookbooks back in the kitchen,” Duncan said. “It’s hilarious because pies have been around for such a long time, so, we like to have some fun with them. We’re always looking to do something different so we all sit down and look through a bunch of books to see what we can do next.” Duncan said the Bananas ‘n Pajamas Pie is one of their craziest creations. “It really came from when Ruby was working one afternoon and she said, ‘I can’t make any pies!’” Duncan said. “We have a chef in the kitchen at the time that said, ‘That’s ridiculous, what do you have?’ So Ruby started listing all the ingredients she had. The other chef said, ‘Well it sounds to me like you can make a pie out of that.’ He was really being a smarty-pants and just walked away. Well that’s exactly what Ruby did, she made a pie with what she said.” Duncan said she originally cooked up the idea of PieBird after losing her job during the 2008-2009 stock market crash. “I was working in the design business and lost my job,” Duncan said. “I read somewhere that the design business, as a whole that year, went down 25 percent, so, I don’t feel like I was selected. I just thought, ‘I’ve done that and now it’s time for me to do something else.’” With no job and the opportunity to start fresh, Duncan said she decided she would try something new: Pies. Apple, blueberry, peach, raspberry and strawberry — the possibilities were endless. “I said, ‘I’m going to see if anyone wants to buy pies,’” Duncan said. “I figured I’d make some pies and see what people said. I practiced and then went down to Staples to make copies of little brochures that I had made up.” Picturing herself fluttering around the neighborhood delivering pies, Duncan said she felt that PieBird was the perfect name. “I was in Staples and a friend of mine came up and asked what I was doing,” Duncan said. “She helped me step everything up and as the copies were coming out of the machine she started to read them and said, ‘Oh! I want to order this, and I want to order that!’ She was really serious, and I continued to tell her, ‘No, don’t give me the order now just wait until I get home.’ I thought she was just being such a silly person.”

Duncan said she realized how serious people were taking her idea when she started handing out brochures. “I got home, folded the brochures and then went around my neighborhood to hand them out,” Duncan said. “All of a sudden there were people coming out of their houses after me, after I had stuck it in their mail slot, running to give me orders. I was just going down the street — it was the craziest thing!” Duncan said she outgrew the kitchen in her home and had to move to a shared commercial kitchen. “It [the commercial kitchen] didn’t work out very well so [I] was kind of depressed and was trying to think of what I could do,” Duncan said. “I knew that this place had become available but that it needed a lot of work.” According to Duncan, the spot was previously an Italian market and was riddled with problems — everything from rotting food to live wires. “After a long trip to visit my daughter, I figured, what the hell,” Duncan said. “I’m going to put a deposit down on the place, ‘What’s the worst thing that could happen?’ I thought.” Duncan said that she still wasn’t sure if she was going to be able to make it work. “I finally raised some cash and the rest is history,” Duncan said. Even though PieBird’s Bananas n’ Pajamas Pie is currently competing against foods such as bacon jam and roasted corn salsa, Duncan hopes that because it is such a big hit at the shop, voters participating in the U.S. Foods Next Top Product competition will like it too. “We’ll just have to see what happens,” Duncan said. According to Duncan, pies were, in the end, just what she needed. “I thought it would be a unique niche to fall into,” Duncan said. “It was all done on a wing and a prayer.”

Rap artist claims Raleigh OCTOBER as the new Hollywood Taylor Quinn Staff Writer

According to Robert ‘Arok’ Arukwe, he has two main loves in his life, music and Raleigh, and he is living his dream by creating one and residing in the other. Arukwe is a Raleigh native and a hip-hop musician signed to the independent record label Kompass and is pursuing music full time after receiving a degree in communication from East Carolina University. Arukwe said that he didn’t listen to much secular music growing up — only gospel. That all changed when one of his friends introduced him to rap. He said he enjoyed it and decided to try his hand at it. “I had been making music for a while but I was just doing it for fun,” Arukwe said. “I never really started trying to pursue it honestly until I got to college.” Arukwe said that he draws the inspiration for his music from his drive to keep pursuing his dream. “I find my inspiration from

daily motivations to keep going,” Arukwe said. “On my label I have seven more artists and just so many other people out here in North Carolina that know what I’m doing and believe in me. That right there is motivation to keep going.” Arukwe’s music is full of Raleigh pride— he included Raleigh in the title of his latest single, “Raleighwood Real,” and his album cover for his song “Reach the Sky,” features the Raleigh skyline. “You know how there is Hollywood and there’s New York and there’s Miami?” Arukwe said. “I don’t know, I just feel like Raleigh is one of those places.” He also said that he appreciates the support and the sense of community he feels from Raleigh. “There is a lot of love and a lot of people doing big things — and small things. You know, one in the same,” Arukwe said. “It’s just a cool place to be from, basically.” Arukwe said that his degree in communication has helped his music career.

“I have a lot of people that I have come into contact with and give business proposals to, like record labels, so my degree has helped me learn how to properly do that,” Arukwe said. Arukwe said his music can be described as “good music for good people.” He said that he really wants to make a good impact on the world through his music. “I just want people to know that we are trying to change the world for the positive,” Arukwe said. “If we do actually make it and get rich we are going to give back — give everything back.” Arukwe said he is going to continue to pursue his dreams for his music and his city with determination. “I got to do it because everyone is expecting me to do it at this point,” Arukwe said. If you would like to learn more about Arukwe or listen to his music, you can check out his blog at Arok919.tumblr.com or visit his label’s website at www.Kompass. com.

go for Portugal.” Q: What intrigues you about your major [biomedical engineering], or why have you decided that’s the career path you want to take? A: “Well, I’ve always been good at math and science, and I wanted to do something I’m good at. Being around sports made me interested in the human body and how it works.”

Q: There are a lot of athletes at N.C. State who attended your high school, Leesville Road High School. For example Josh Stanley and Brandon Pittman, how often do you speak with them? A: “Not often. Whenever I see them around campus I say hello, but we don’t see each other very often. I sometimes speak with the players on the women’s team from Leesville [junior defender Claudel Pilon and sophomore forward Caroline Gentry] because we

see each other more.” Q: Talk about your training and preparation for being a college athlete. What are the main areas of training and what type of mindset do you have to have to be a successful soccer player? A: “Skill wise you have to be a lot better; the ACC is the best soccer conference in the nation, so you’re playing against the nation’s best players, so you have to be competitive. You just have to practice a lot on your own.

But the sophomore said that following in Cyr’s footsteps wasn’t why she decided to transfer to State. “I wanted to go to a school in a southern state,” Aljoe said. “I wanted a good volleyball program with great coaches, great academic support and a very good environment.” “Coach Bunn recruited me and told me to give them a visit and that he would convince me to come here with everything

A: “I never have those days; it’s just a lot of hard work and thinking. There are days

that he had to show me. It sounded like the perfect place for me and it felt like a homey place for me to live in for the next three years.” Aljoe enters the program with returning starters such as senior middle blockers Brie Merriwether and Meredith Richardson, both of whom have helped all the newcomer adjust to her new surroundings. “Brie and Meredith have been very supportive in everything,” Aljoe said. “They have given me a lot of advice. They would tell me and all the new freshman things that Coach Bunn likes to see on the court, to be aware and to respect what he wants. They helped us fit in very well. They are very inviting, and they are such sweet girls. I am so blessed that they are my seniors.”

Biomedical engineering is a difficult field, but I never have days where I wish I didn’t play soccer.” Q: What would you say your role on the soccer team is at this point in your career? As a junior, do you find yourself becoming more of a leader? A: “I mean yeah, if you’re an upper classman then you automatically fall into a leadership position. Newcomers act according to what they see.

With State rolling to an 8-1 record thus far in the season, Aljoe and the Wolfpack have a high level of confidence entering the Courtyard Midtown Invitational before the conference schedule starts on Sept. 25 against UNC-Chapel Hill. “I am excited to start the conference games, but I am really excited to play the big rivalry match against UNCChapel Hill. You dream about how the game will be like and how chaotic the environment will be. We are going to be so focused and want it so bad that it is going to be a really intense game.” State will face the Wisconsin Badgers on Friday at 7 p.m. before finishing the home tournament against the Colgate Raiders and the VCU Rams.

I’ve been playing soccer since I was five and not many people get this chance, the chance to play the sport they love in college. Even fewer get the chance to play the sport they love beyond college.

The N.C. State football team will be under the national spotlight tonight as it opens ACC play against the No. 3 Clemson Tigers. After two home wins to start his career with the Wolfpack, and a 14-0 home mark at Northern Illinois, head coach Dave Doeren’s home record will face its toughest test. “Clemson is a very good football team and a very experienced football team,” Doeren said. “We know we’re going to have to play really well.” Clemson (2-0), picked by members of the media to win the ACC in the preseason, is undoubtedly the toughest opponent the Pack have faced thus far and may be the stiffest challenge it faces all season. The Tigers showcase quarterback Tajh Boyd. Boyd is a Heisman Trophy candidate, and he is one of the top players in the country. Boyd, a senior from Hampton, Va., was voted ACC Preseason Player of the Year, racking up 105 of a possible 120 votes. He has completed 32 of 53 passes for 439 yards and three touchdowns in two games this season, wins over No. 9 Georgia and South Carolina State. He has also

and demolished the then-No. 7 Tigers, intercepting Boyd twice in a 37-13 romp. That was State’s only win against Clemson since 2003. The Tigers have won every Textile Bowl since then except the 2011 meeting, including a 62-48 shootout

As one of four N.C. State men’s soccer players from Raleigh, junior defender Moss Jackson-Atogi is never far from home. Born and raised in Raleigh, Jackson-Atogi was an honor roll student throughout his four years at Leesville Road High School. As a sophomore at State, Jackson-Atogi started all 20 games, including all five of the State’s shutouts in 2012. The junior now hopes to lead the Wolfpack to its 14th NCAA Tournament appearance, its first since 2009. The Technician: What sports did you play in high school? When did you start playing soccer, and do you remember why you decided to start? Moss Jackson-Atogi: “I played soccer and ran track my junior year, but I played soccer all four years at Leesville. I started playing soccer when I was five; my dad kind of got me into it. My family is from Nigeria and it’s JOANNA IRVIN/TECHNICIAN [soccer] really big over there.” Junior defender Moss Jackson-Atogi passes Q: Do you pull for Nigeria? the ball to one of his Wolfpack teammates.

victory in Death Valley last season. Clemson leads the overall series between the teams 52-28-1, dating back to 1899. Clemson’s offense has been clicking this season. The Tigers are averaging 45 points, 299.5 passing yards and 190

rushing yards per game. In addition to Boyd, they feature one of the top receivers in the nation in junior Sammy Watkins. “I think we’ll play harder because of how good they are,” redshirt senior linebacker Zach Gentry said. “Our preparation has been a lot more thorough.” The Wolfpack’s defense is only allowing 17.5 points per game. On offense, State will rely on the two-quarterback system consisting of redshirt junior Pete Thomas, a pocket passer, and freshman Bryant Shirreffs, primarily a runner. Thomas and Shirreffs will try to crack the talented Clemson defense, and will be assisted by junior running back Tony Creecy and freshman running back Matt Dayes. Neither team has played since Sept. 7, giving both squads a bye week to rest and prepare. “We’ve had a couple extra days to prepare, but we’ve also had a couple days off to get our bodies back,” Shirreffs said. “We’ve had some injuries, so the extra time has been helpful.” The Tigers are the third top-10 team to visit CarterFinley Stadium since 2005. The Pack has beaten the last two, including the aforementioned win in 2011 and
