North Carolinians urged to get flu vaccine As flu season begins, state officials are urging individuals to get their flu vaccination to avoid a repeat of last season in North Carolina. Last season, there were 391 flu-related deaths in the state, the most since 2009. At least two people in North Carolina have died so far this year from flu-related complications, one of those being in Wake County. Nationally, flu-related deaths also broke records last season, claiming 80,000 lives.

As Hurricane Michael strengthens, North Carolina, which is still recovering from the aftermath of Hurricane Florence last month, prepared for heavy wind and rain. The state could receive 3-6 inches of rain that could cause flash flooding and wind gusts from 30-60 mph. Some eastern North Carolina counties, like Pender and Brunswick, have called a state of emergency, with several counties cancelling school. The storm is expected to arrive in the state Thursday.

2018 State Fair brings new foods, rides despite delay in opening Leigha Bruce Correspondent

The North Carolina State Fair, one of the largest events to occur in the state and expected to bring in over one million guests, has been delayed as Hurricane Michael is expected to affect Raleigh Thursday. The North Carolina State Fair was supposed to open Thursday at 3 p.m., but the opening has been postponed until 10 a.m. Friday morning. The fair is then expected to

continue as planned. Since 1853, the fair has gotten more popular, becoming one of the largest annual events in the nation. Almost two dozen new foods will be available for fair guests including the arepa burger, rolled ice cream and chocolate chip hush puppies. “We have 22 new foods coming to the fair on top of our 200 regular vendors as well,” said Press Office Assistant Director Heather Overton. “We also have four new rides and 100 in total.”

Fairgoers ride on the North Carolina State Fair Flyer next to a Ferris wheel at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds on Oct. 13, 2017. The State Fair Flyer was introduced at the 2016 State Fair and allows fairgoers the opportunity to view the fair from above.

ELIZABETH BYERS/ARCHIVE

Thousands of fairgoers move through the midway on Oct. 19, 2017. The fair offered a plethora of different fried foods to enjoy, games to play and rides to experience, as well as musical performances, agricultural exhibits and livestock shows.

Overton said some of the newest food vendors that will be available to the public are the shrimp tacos with pineapple salsa from Captain Neill’s Seafood and cinnamon toast crunch apple cobbler bites from Chef’s D’Lites. Howling Cow ice cream, completely produced at NC State from its food science program, is also sold by NC State students at the fair. Gary Cartwright, director for NC State Dairy Enterprise System, said the ice cream has been sold at the fair since 1978. “At the 1978 state fair, many attendees had walked up to our window asking if we were selling our ice cream, but at the time we were not allowed to sell it concerning the Umstead Act,” Cartwright said. “After many requests, I went back to the food science department to get permission from the dairy companies involved to begin selling our product.” Howling Cow will be providing its regular flavors, but will also be bringing a new flavor of key lime pie. “We calculated, one year, the amount of ice cream students sold,” Cartwright said, “and it came out to be one cup and one cone passed out every 12 seconds from start to finish of one day at the fair.” The first Friday of the fair is “Friday Frenzy,” where college students can get a discounted

admissions ticket when they present their student ID at the ticket booth. “We’re offering a new ticket package online for advanced purchase that I think high school and college students will benefit from the most, called the Dizzy Pass,” Overton said. “For $31, you get a wristband for admission into the fair and unlimited rides.” NC State also participates in the agricultural aspects put on for the public, including the milking booth and livestock exhibits. “NC State is involved in several aspects, especially in the agricultural exhibits and livestock areas,” Overton said. Another big attraction the fair brings are the amusement park rides that are available. There are four new rides this year, including Downdraft, the Kraken, Dumbo Elephants and the Mini Trooper. “The rides never disappoint,” said Madison Young, a second-year studying microbiology. “But, I can’t deny that the Dippin’ Dots will always be what I look forward to the most.” There will also be 120 different musical performances to choose from as a part of the Homegrown Music Festival on three different stages. The fair is still planning to run through Oct. 21. Students can find tickets and prices on the North Carolina State Fair website.

NC State receives the HEED award, third year in a row

GRAPHIC BY NICK WEAVER/TECHNICIAN

Freja Carlson Staff Writer

This year, NC State was named one of the 96 universities to receive the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award in recognition of its commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion on campus. The award is sponsored by Insight magazine, a publication that discusses diversity in higher education. The HEED award is a national recognition, and this will be the third time NC State has received the award. Sheri Schwab, the interim vice provost for institutional equity and diversity at NC State, spoke on the importance of the award, and how it will help NC State to recognize what areas they are doing well in for diversity and what areas need more work. “We are proud of the award, but we are

always striving to do better and do more,” Schwab said. “We are looking to implement more successful, impactful programs for diversity and inclusion at NC State. It gives us a way to recognize the positive things we are doing, and helps give us a framework to see what other best practices are out there.” For the award, Insight magazine looks at a variety of aspects related to diversity. The award is not only based on student enrollment and graduation numbers of underrepresented groups, but faculty and staff representativeness along with initiatives implemented on campus. Beverly Williams, the director of training and education for OIED, described a variety of initiatives that have been put in place to recruit diverse faculty, which is a major focus of the university. “Building Future Faculty Program that in-

vites scholars from all over the United States to talk about instead of going into industry, but going into education,” Williams said. “You see programs and speakers coming in, and that is just a portion of it. There are many strategies related to recruitment and inclusion.” One of the initiatives NC State has to help promote diversity on campus is awarding mini grants to help execute diversity-related programming. “Every year we offer the opportunity for people on campus to apply for some funding, up to $3,000, so that they can execute diversityrelated programming,” Schwab said. “The fact that the common reading this year is ‘$2 A Day: [Living on Almost Nothing in America]’ came out of a mini grant. The goal was to bring attention to those with limited resources and in hunger and poverty in the United States. To me that is a shining example of a unique

program that has come out of the mini grants.” Other examples of initiatives that have come out of the mini grants are those such as the Black Male Initiative, which focuses on providing black males in their undergraduate years support and resources to help them graduate. While NC State is proud to have received the award, Williams emphasizes that there are no plans to stop improving, and the office will continue adding to diversity and inclusion programs. “This is not to say that we don’t have things to work on, still,” Williams said. “There were certain areas where we couldn’t check the box, but this allowed us to see areas we can improve.” For more information on diversity training, policies, resources and upcoming events, can be found on the OIED website.

Voter Guide: Understanding the proposed NC Constitutional amendments The six proposed amendments will be on the ballot for the elections, and early voting begins next week. Staff Report

Early voting locations open next week for the 2018 Midterm elections, when North Carolinians will not only be able to vote for their district’s representatives, but also six proposed North Carolina Constitutional amendments. The registration deadline for voting ends Friday for North Carolina. The following is a list of the six proposed North Carolina constitutional amendments on the ballot for the Midterm elections. Right to Hunt and Fish Amendment Would establish a state constitutional right to fish, hunt and harvest wildlife in North Carolina. According to the amendment’s text, this right would be subject to statutes that “promote wildlife conservation and management and preserve the future of hunting and fishing.” To manage and control wildlife, public hunting and fishing is preferred. Marsy’s Law Amendment Proposes to provide crime victims with certain rights upon their request. A full list of the rights granted to victims upon request can be found here. Income Tax Cap Amendment Would lower the North Carolina’s Constitutional maximum allowable state income tax rate to seven percent, meaning that the state government could not raise the rate above this number. The current maximum rate is 10 percent. The current personal income tax rate in North

Carolina is 5.499 percent. Voter ID Amendment Would require voters to present a photo ID if voting in person. Laws to govern the requirement would need to be established if the amendment passes. Legislative Appointments to Elections Board and Commissions Amendment Would give the responsibility of appointing commissioners to the Bipartisan State Board of Ethics and Election Enforcement to the North Carolina State Legislature. The board, which administers ethics and election laws, will be made up of eight members selected from lists of candidates from the chamber’s majority leader and minority leader. Four will be selected by the state Senate President Pro Tempore and four by the state House Speaker. The board currently has nine members who are appointed by the governor. Judicial Selection for Midterm Vacancies Amendment Would create a new system to fill judicial vacancies that happen between judicial elections of our state courts. The new system would create a nine-member commission (the Nonpartisan Judicial Merit Commission) to select possible appointees. The governor currently appoints a person to the vacant seat, who then serves until the next election cycle. Early voting opens next Wednesday. More information on the above amendments can be located here.

NC State students don’t value the vote Two week s ago, NC State students took to the polls to elect their new student senators and vote on a proposed change to the NC State Student Body Constitution; or, at Payton least, that’s what was supBarish posed to happen. Instead, Correspondent a minuscule number of the student population took part in the election. Of the approximately 34,000 students on campus, only 600 took part in the fall election. That is less than 2 percent of the population, and, considering that almost everyone on campus is of voting age, it is a frightening statistic that might very well translate to the midterm elections this November. In the grand scheme of things, voting for student senators most likely isn’t going to drastically affect what happens at NC State day to day, but the process of voting is one of the most sacred responsibilities that individuals can have as a memb er of a commu nit y. While voting in an election for c ol le ge s e n ators might not necessarily be a big dea l for students, it is extremely important and a good habit. Since voter registration for the fall election in North Carolina ends this Friday, there is no better time than now to start developing this habit. Voting is important because it allows a citizen to make their voice heard. It expresses one’s opinion about a candidate or a policy in a concrete way. Taking the opportunity to vote is truly one of the only ways to see policies enacted that an individual agrees with, because the incumbent either has enough support to remain in office, or someone who isn’t well liked is voted out by their constituents. Over the past two years, much has been made of the “blue wave” that Democrats should be driving for in this November’s

midterm elections. However, the leftleaning voting block that encompasses college-aged students is notorious for poor voter turnout. Young voters have massive potential to swing an election when they come out to vote, and NC State should help students build this habit to help realize that potential. There are steps that NC State could take to increase student election participation that would hopefully establish good voting habits. One of the first methods that is commonly utilized in other countries is incentivized voting. Some countries impose fines on non-voters to encourage citizens to vote, but NC State could offer a tastier option. Lines consistently fill up Talley Market where Howling Cow ice cream is sold and offering coupons or free scoops after voting would be sure to encourage voting. This is made much easier by the fact that Talley itself will be an early voting location in the fall. When you feel elated about something, your body relea ses dopamine, and rewarding a student for voting would result in them equating voting w it h a pleasurable experience. Anot her option for NC State is to increase awareness and education about the elections. Personally, I didn’t know anything about the fall Senate elections or how to vote, and for those reasons I was unable to vote. If there was more information out there about these and the midterms, it would allow students to plan on voting with a purpose and make it better worth their time. Voting should be valued across the board, whether that means voting in a college, local, state or federal election. However, actions can be made to increase that turnout in NC State elections in a way that solidifies a student’s desire to vote in an election that carries more weight to it.

“...the process of voting is one of the most sacred responsibilities that individuals can have as a member of a community. ”

AP Style is an Thoughts from our readers: essential tool for your career

A selection of comments sent to us from readers in short form over the past week, with their sources listed below. In response to “EDITORIAL: Senators Tillis and Burr wrong in decision to support Kavanaugh”

With every new course that I take here at NC State, it seems like each professor emphasizes a different skill that is vital for job hunting and is the number one thing that employers will look for Colin in your resume. For my caMcKnight reer — in communications Staff Columnist and public relations — I’ve heard everything from social media capability, to ad-lib skills, to general news and social awareness. These skills are certainly crucial, and it definitely makes your chances of landing that dream job or internship much better if you possess them and similar abilities. But there’s another skill that I’ve heard mentioned in every course, that I’ve seen closely examined and emphasized, and is something that I’ve had to be aware of when doing coursework in almost every class I take plus my work here at Technician: AP style writing. For those unfamiliar with the ins and outs of Associated Press style, it may seem like a trivial, complicated writing method confined only to dusty print publications. And while difficult course assignments sometimes leave me feeling that way too, the hard truth is that AP style, and the implications of someone’s proficiency on the subject in the professional world, can determine one’s image, reliability and success in life after college. Whether in the classroom or outside of it, AP style is the go-to in a number of fields. Many may think that it is solely a print and broadcast media tool, but its reach extends far beyond just that. Marketing and Communication Manager Zachary Reed argued that being competent in AP style is a much more valuable trait in potential hires than actual PR education or experience, and stated, “if I were filling five entry-level PR jobs right now, I’d fill them all with journalism majors,” citing their knowledge on AP style. Oklahoma City University professor Kenna Griffin stated that she teaches her students AP style because the method is still “a ‘golden standard’ of media writing.” She believes that

the writing style makes sure that writers create universally understandable content so that readers will not be forced to learn and distinguish multiple complex and completely different styles. But its importance has to do with more than just readers’ comfort. AP style capability sends a message about your level of professionalism and attention to detail. It may seem like an unfair snap judgment to disregard someone’s writing just because of an improper capitalization or misuse of certain punctuation, but, in a modern world where messages are everywhere, using language to show you’re on “the next level” catches readers’ eyes. With AP style being such a necessary skill, it may sound like learning it would take forever. However, with a little bit of effort and dedication, it is relatively easy skill to learn though challenging to master and memorize. The Associated Press Stylebook is certainly a big help in this endeavor, but being able to call back the basics from memory, both during an interview and behind a desk or keyboard, is an essential skill. I can’t chime in on the value of AP style in every career field; understandably, some jobs that take place primarily in a lab, or in the field or in other, more isolated environments may not have immediate need for proficiency in AP style. But even then, someone else behind the scenes has to keep up constant, professional communication with the outside world. This means that, even in the most unlikely of fields, it’s a skill that is always in demand in some way. Employers’ expectations in eligible candidates have always grown with the passage of time; to some, they’ve grown too much. But some qualities have always been, and will continue to be, part of the job hunt: dedication, company loyalty and a strong work ethic. Competency in AP style is also part of that list. It continues to be a sink-or-swim skill in many fields of the professional world, signifying to others your professional capability, or lack thereof. Thus, being well-versed sets you apart in classes, interviews and far beyond.

“AP style capability sends a message about your level of professionalism and attention to detail”

“They represented my interest perfectly and I am NC native.” -Scott Fleming, via Facebook

“Thank you Senators Burr & Tillis. Maybe...just maybe...they knew a little bit more about this than the editors of the Technician!” -Steve Surratt, via Facebook

“I too am a NC native, most of my relatives are Republicans but they felt like the Republicans Senators panel acted and chose to be like tribal leaders instead of Republicans.” -Precinda Bjorgen, via Facebook

In response to “OPINION: Thom Tillis failed NC in voting for Kavanaugh”

“Dr. Ford also passed a polygraph and is a psychologist that brought up how memories are stored. She also had witnesses and corroborated testimony about the character of Kavanaugh. I sincerely you never have to be assaulted by someone, but its about damn time people start believing victims.” -Lindsey Holmes, via Facebook

Rhett & Link: Questions, answers and a whole lot of bricks with

& Q&A Rhett Link Emily Hench

Arts and Entertainment Editor

If you have visited YouTube in the past few years, you’ve probably come across a video made by two men known by the names Rhett and Link. Though the two are mainly known for their online talk show “Good Mythical Morning,” as well as a variety of comedic skits posted to their YouTube channels, they are also recognized as two of NC State’s distinguished alumni, with both having graduated from the university in the early 2000s as engineering majors. Technician spoke with Rhett & Link about their experiences at NC State as well as their upcoming performance at the State Fair on

SMART PHONE

Oct. 12. Technician: Tell us about your time at NC State. What were your impressions? Link: We both studied engineering, so we walked those bricks a lot over those four – well, technically it was five years for me. I was just so smart, I decided to spend another year. Rhett: Well, I had two major misconceptions, the first being that you had to have a bike. We both had that misconception. Freshman year, you would ride your bikes everywhere. 1996, Syme dorm was where we were staying, so we thought you had to have a bike. Everybody who was anybody had a bicycle, and we kind of quickly abandoned that. The other misconception was that I thought the T-squares were, and this probably isn’t a thing anymore because they’re probably doing everything on computers, but we were one of the last classes where all of the drafting was taking place by hand, exclusively. Nobody was

really doing any CAD at the time, it wasn’t required, and all of the T-squares were sticking out of people’s backpacks and I thought it was some kind of fraternity pledge thing, like, “oh! Those are all of the guys pledging for fraternities!” but it was just drafters, and I was one of them. On a bike, with a T-square coming out of my backpack. L: Our freshman year, we were roommates together in Syme dorm, room 24, which was on the bottom floor, right in the middle, so our only window was underneath the stairs to the first floor, like the main entrance to the dorm, so we never got any sunlight in the room. At noon, it would be pitch black in our room, even with the window open. R: And I think that they’ve since learned that that has a negative psychological effect on students, so that room is no longer a dorm room, it’s like a storage area. L: Really? What did you do, go there?

SMART TV

R: I’ve been there many times. Last time I went, and I went to room 24 and it didn’t say “24” on it anymore. It said something else. It was not a dorm room. L: Well you can’t just go back and start going through dorm rooms just because you attended. R: Weren’t you there the time we went back and there was a guy in there, and we went into his room? L: Yep. T: So why did you guys choose to study engineering? R: That’s a great question. I’m still exploring that today. L: That is the most direct path to a future in entertainment, that’s what my guidance counselor told me. R: That is your retroactive comedian an-

Celebrate fall on campus with upcoming UAB events Rachael Davis Correspondent

From spine-chilling to heartwarming movies, and from meaningful pieces of performance art to haunted houses, the University Activities Board (UAB) is stacked with entertaining and festive events for you and your friends to indulge in this October. On Oct. 2, UAB started out strong with a pre-screening of the new hit movie “A Star is Born,” starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. Approximately 100 students attended this event. Michael Barilla, a third-year studying computer engineering and the UAB Films chair, reflected on the success of the screening. “Everyone left the theater with tears streaming down their faces,” Barilla said. “I had to tally up surveys afterward for the movie studio, and most people rated the movie either a nine or a

10. The movie seemed to be loved by all who attended. We were also able to give out a bunch of movie posters out to students. The event and the movie were a big hit.” Brianna Murphy, a second-year studying genetics and the UAB Concerts and Entertainment chair, also attended the pre-screening and spoke about her thoughts on the movie. “‘A Star is Born’ was really really good,” Murphy said. “I am really happy that UAB was able to have a pre-screening of it. It was a movie that I really wanted to see, so I am very glad I could see it on campus for free.” If you were unable to attend the pre-screening for “A Star is Born,” don’t worry, for there are many more popular and distinguished movies that will be playing this month. Barilla spoke out about the movies that he is most excited

swer. The real answer was that we told my dad – I think it was my freshman or sophomore or junior year in high school – I was like “Dad, I want to go to film school!” and he was like, “that’s great, son. I’m not going to pay for it if you do that.” Then I was like “ugh, now I actually have to go get a real degree,” and we were both good at math, so we were like “ah, good at math? Let’s go to NC State and be engineers!” There really was not a lot of thought put into it. I mean today, with our kids, they’re filling out personality tests and assessments and meeting with guidance counselors in middle school to figure out what they’re going to do. We didn’t talk with anyone about it, we just had one thought one day, and the next thing you know, we were engineering majors. T: In what ways were you guys involved on campus, any student organizations or jobs? L: What did we do? R: We did quite a bit. I think the highlight of our extracurricular activities was when we would create projects for ourselves, and one of those, probably the most infamous, was our Project Lionel project. We basically created our own club, called Project Lionel, and we had a Lionel Richie self-titled album spread out above our couch. We started taking pictures of us posing like Lionel and eventually began taking pictures of anyone who was willing to come to our dorm room, in Syme 24, to take pictures, and we’d eventually get those pictures developed and put them on

about this fall. “I am really excited about this week,” Barilla said. “On Oct. 11 through 13, we will be showing ‘Love Simon’ and ‘Lady Bird,’ which are two very popular LGBTQ+ movies. This Thursday is actually National Coming Out Day, so that is our little tribute to that. Also, for Diversity Education Week, we will be screening ‘BlacKkKlansman’ on Oct. 18 and 19, which was one of the most popular voted movies.” However, for those interested in films with more horror and fright for the month of Halloween, UAB will also be showing all of the “The Purge” movies on Oct. 25 and 26. In addition, UAB will be hosting a special Halloween event called “Scream on the Green,” which will take place on Oct. 30 at 11 p.m. “‘Scream on the Green’ will be hosted outside of Talley, and it is kind of like a mini carnival,” Barilla said. “There will be music, games, popcorn, hot chocolate and a bunch of candy. You will have the opportunity to even win a prize at the end, if your raffle ticket is chosen. We will also be showing the movie ‘Twitches,’ which is

our wall. L: So we basically have a record of every single person who visited our extremely dark dorm room, and they’re posing like Lionel Richie. And, incidentally, we still have that album hanging in our office. Right now, I’m looking at it. Of course, I could be lying, you can’t tell what I’m looking at. T: What were your favorite parts of NC State? R: The brickwork, man. L: It is unmatched anywhere else, in all of my travels, and I’ve been to Australia. They’ve got nothing like that in Australia. R: There’s no other place on Earth that has so many bricks in one concentrated location. I mean, the brick density is, I don’t know, it’s something I can’t get away from. I go all kinds of places in the world, like Link said, and I’m always kind of checking in on the local brick density and comparing it to the standard that was set by NC State. L: And nothing has come close. R: There’s got to be another highlight. L: My highlight, beyond the friendships, the amazing academic excelling that I did, was that I am, to this day, a hardcore Wolfpack fan, and continue to follow – well, I follow our basketball team and our football team. Let’s be honest, I’m not one of those guys that goes all the way and also follows our baseball team, except when they are on the blog. I go to see stuff about what the basketball team and football team are doing. R: How about that swimming, though? L: Swimming was great. I mean, the swimming is great, the wrestling is great, but I’m going to be completely honest with you, it

a bit of a throwback. It’ll be a lot of fun.” To further indulge in the Halloween spirit, UAB has a joint partnership event with the Arts Village from 8 to 11 p.m. on Oct. 27. Anna Long, a third-year student studying communications and the UAB Leisure and Recreation chair, shares more information about this exciting event. “The Wicked WolfPack Carnival is an outside festival that has many games, different types of food, prizes and even a haunted house,” Long said. “The event will be at the Thunderdome, the area between Turlington and Alexander residence halls. This event allows students to have the opportunity to celebrate Halloween in a fun and not necessarily scary way.” Finally, for those looking to celebrate fall with a more cozy and relaxing type of event, UAB hosts events such as Chords and Coffee, which took place this past Wednesday, Oct. 10 in One Earth Lounge. Murphy offers her insight on this recurring event for the Concerts and Entertainment committee. “Chords and Coffee is held twice a semester, and it is an open-mic situation,” Murphy said. “We will have a guitar, a keyboard, and any other instrument you may wish to bring for you to use.

Evaluating NC State football at the bye week Andrew Schnittker

now, I’m loving it. It feels the same, honestly, if not better.” That was on display against Boston College, where the team only allowed the Eagles to cash in 10 points on four turnovers, and held them to three points until late in the third quarter. Graduate linebacker Germaine Pratt leads the way, and he leads the ACC with 49 tackles. The Pack’s secondary is better than it’s been in years, and the front seven is steady, if less flashy than last year’s NFL-laden unit, currently sitting at 15th in the country in run defense. The team will need its defense to take it to another level against Clemson and Syracuse, but it’s certainly capable of doing so. “Tough as nails,” Doeren said. “[Defensive Coordinator Dave Huxtable] and his staff have those guys right where they want them. The kids are playing hard, they believe in what they’re doing and they’re playing together. They don’t care who makes the play or who gets the credit; they just play hard.”

Sports Editor

With no game to play this week, the players and coaches on the NC State football team have to be feeling pretty good about themselves. The team has won all five of the games it’s played, is 2-0 to start ACC play and has played strong on both sides of the ball. That sets the table for NC State to put itself in the driver’s seat to win the ACC Atlantic Division with a trip to take on No. 4 Clemson next week. That’s a tall task, but the Pack has played Clemson tough both of the last times it played the Tigers. In order to give itself a chance, the Wolfpack will need to continue to do what it has done in two phases of the game and clean up one other. Let’s take a look at one strength, one surprise and one area that needs to improve going into one of the biggest games of the Dave Doeren era. Strength: Offense – No surprise here. The prevailing thought coming into the season was that NC State would field the best passing attack in the ACC, and the first five games did nothing to dispute that notion. Finley leads the ACC in passing yards with 1621, is second in completion percentage at 69.5 and has 10 touchdown passes to go with just three picks. Finley has spread the ball around to his plethora of weapons. Junior Kelvin Harmon is second in the ACC with 534 receiving yards and tied for second with 33 catches. Redshirt junior Jakobi Meyers is fourth with 30 catches. Graduate Stephen Louis, sophomore Emeka Emezie, redshirt sophomore C.J. Riley, redshirt freshman Thayer Thomas and redshirt sophomore tight end Cary Angeline have also made their mark. Through nonconference play, the run game

minus NFLer Nyheim Hines was a concern. Enter healthy freshman Ricky Person Jr., and that’s no longer the case. Person had 108 yards on 14 carries in the ACC play-opening win over Virginia, and had 92 yards on 17 carries against Boston College. Senior Reggie Gallaspy Jr. joined the fun against Boston College with 104 yards and two scores on 25 carries. A balanced, full-strength Wolfpack offense is a scary prospect for opposing defenses. “I think it’s definitely challenging [for defenses],” Doeren said after the Virginia win. “You can’t look at one guy and say, ‘We’re going to take [Harmon] out of the game.’ You can do that, but you’re going to suffer on the

other side.”

NC State men’s soccer team will face No. 1 UNC-Chapel Hill Friday at Dail Soccer Stadium. The Wolfpack owns an overall record of 7-3-2 but has gone just 1-3-1 in conference

after a four-match winless streak prior to cruising past Longwood 2-0 Tuesday. To the Pack’s credit, the lone conference win did come after a 10-day layoff, due to Hurricane Florence, against a formidable

Surprise: Defense – The Wolfpack definitely has the pieces on defense to overcome the losses from last year and not experience a huge drop-off. Through the first five games, it’s been better than last year. The Pack currently ranks 15th in the country in scoring defense, as the team is allowing an average of just 16.8 points per game. “I really don’t feel a drop-off,” senior defensive tackle Eurndraus Bryant said after the win against the Eagles. “A lot of people think it’s a drop-off between all those good players last year and now, but the way we’re playing right

Concern: Special teams – This is actually an area where the Pack has improved in one regard, with freshman Christopher Dunn giving the team a reliable kicker for the first time in years. However, mistakes on special teams have kept what should have been comfortable wins closer than they needed to be. The Pack gave up a touchdown on a kickoff return fumble against Marshall, allowed Virginia to recover an onside kick, and muffed a punt, had a field goal blocked and gave up a blocked punt touchdown against Boston College. The team also needs to improve its coverage on kick and punt returns. So far, these self-inflicted wounds have not cost the Pack a win, but the team would do well to avoid pushing its luck on special teams in the remaining games, especially against Clemson.

Wolfpack volleyball looks to bounce back against Virginia Kailee Jurnak Staff Writer

NC State volleyball returns from being on the road for the past four games to play against Virginia this Friday at Reynolds Coliseum. The road was rough on the Wolfpack (8-8, 2-4 ACC) as it only managed one win against Virginia Tech and lost to UNC-Chapel Hill 1-3, Florida State 0-3 and Miami 1-3. The Pack is look ing to resume its strong performance on its home court after having won its last home match 3-1 against Notre Dame. Last season, the Pack defeated Virginia 3-0 for its seventh ACC win during its undefeated run. Senior middle blocker Teni Sopitan had nine kills of her 10 points. Senior setter Kylie Pickrell had an ace, two blocks and three kills. The Pack played better each set against Virginia, holding the Cavaliers to fewer and fewer points. In the first set Virginia had hit its peak with 20 points but was then held to 25-19 and finally 25-17 in

the four-match winless stretch. The winless streak did cause the Pack to fall out of the polls, though it is still receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches poll. The Tar Heels have turned in another stellar season thus far, going 9-1-1 overall with perfect ACC record of 4-0-0 while accumulating impressive wins against UNCWilmington and Notre Dame. The team’s only loss came at the hands of Indiana, which currently sits at No. 4 in the polls. Like the Wolfpack, the Heels traveled to a Virginia school for a match Tuesday night, but only managed to draw Old Dominion 1-1, ending a streak of eight straight wins. NC State will continue to depend on the play of sophomore goalkeeper Leon Krapf. The Germany native has recorded five shutouts and 35 saves and ranks fourth in the ACC with a 0.87 goals-against average. In goal for UNC-CH is James Pyle, who has had a fine year of his own, notching

the third and final set. The Pack managed to keep Virginia’s top scorer to 11 points. Notably, the Pack out-blocked Virginia 10-5 but both had 42 kills throughout the entire match. Blocking has been a weaker part of the Pack’s game this season and, if the game is anything like last season, Virginia could give the Pack a hard time, as both teams focus on offensive play. It could be a similar game if the Pack plays to its potential. Last season, the Pack had been 7-0 while the Cavaliers were 0-7. This season, the Pack has been struggling in the early part of the ACC season with a 2-4 record. The Cavaliers are having even more troubles with a 1-5 current ACC record. The Cavaliers have lost to Florida State 0-3, Miami 1-3 and Virginia Tech 0-3. The Wolfpack should watch out for Virginia’s sophomore Sarah Billiard and junior Jelena Novakovic who are the Cavaliers’ top hitters. Billiard’s season high was against Mason with 25 kills out of her 27 points. Novakovic’s best game was against Boston College with 17 points, 15 four shutouts and a 0.76 goals-against average. Junior midfielder Gabriel Machado hasn’t put a ball in the back of the net for the Wolfpack since playing Louisville on Sept 28, but his presence will be needed if NC State is to pull the upset. In his first year with the team after transferring from Monroe College, Machado has proved to be a valuable addition, leading the team with 10 points and four goals. The Heels will depend on Nils Bruening and Giovanni Montesdeoca, who have 13 and 12 points this season, respectively. Both players have been standouts on the team, adding five goals apiece. If NC State were to come away with the upset, it would be the first win over the rival Tar Heels since 2013, as UNC has taken the past two matches in 2014 and 2017. The Wolfpack owns an all-time record of 21-52-12 against the Heels. A win would be incredibly beneficial for NC State’s NCAA Tournament hopes and for its place in the ACC standings with just three regular season games remaining. The match is set for 7 p.m. Friday night at Dail Soccer Stadium and can be seen on ACC Network Extra.

Pack swimming set for strong campaign despite loss of Held, Ipsen Alec Sawyer

Assistant Sports Editor

A new season is upon the NC State swimming and diving team, as the Wolfpack will look to continue on its recent trend of domination. The season begins this Friday night at South Carolina. The Wolfpack men open the season at No. 4 in the country, after finishing fourth at the NCAA Championships for the third year in a row last season. The NC State women will start the year at No. 11, coming off of five straight top-20 national finishes. While continued national success is on the table yet again for the Pack, the domination of the ACC will also be on the forefront for the Wolfpack heading into this 2018-19 season. NC State has won the ACC men’s title four years in a row, and is the heavy favorite to make it five this year. After winning the ACC in the 2016-17 season, the Wolfpack women fell back to third last season, but have the roster to compete for the conference title once again. On the men’s side, the Pack will have to replace two of the program’s greatest all-time swimmers in Ryan Held and Anton Ipsen. Together, Held and Ipsen hold 7 of 14 individual NC State records. Add departed senior Hennessey Stuart’s school record in the 200-yard backstroke, and that is more than half of the school’s individual men’s records departing in one offseason. Additionally, Held is on every school-record relay. With Held, Ipsen and Stuart departing, the Pack has a ton to replace. However, there’s no reason to believe that NC State will regress this season without those superstars, as the tal-

ent behind them is maybe just as good. Leading the returning Wolfpack men are seniors Justin Ress, Andreas Vazaios and Jacob Molacek, as well as junior Coleman Stewart and sophomores Jack McIntyre and Eric Knowles. Vazaios is the star of this group. He holds school records in the 200-yard freestyle, individual medley and butterfly, and captured an NCAA title in the 200 fly last season. Vazaios was named the ACC Men’s Swimmer of the Year last season, and capped off the year with his 200 fly national title as well as his second straight 800-yard freestyle relay NCAA title. Molacek and Ress were also on that 800 free relay team, and are both vital individual swimmers as well. While Held dominated the 50-yard freestyle during his time at NC State, Ress has the school’s third-fastest time in the event and should fill into Held’s role as the main freestyle sprint man seamlessly. To go along with Vazaios’ 200 fly NCAA title, Ipsen won the national championship in the 1,650-yard freestyle and Stewart won in the 100-yard backstroke. Stewart will return to NC State with a chance to defend that title, and will anchor a strong backstroke group for the Pack. It will be McIntyre and Knowles taking over in the distance events, which they have excelled in already at NC State. Knowles holds the school’s third-fastest time in the 500-yard freestyle, while McIntyre is third-fastest in the 1,650 free. With all of its returning talent, including the likes of guys who have had smaller roles in the past like sophomore Giovanni Izzo and senior Cobe Garcia, there is no reason to believe the Wolfpack men’s team will have any fall-off. An

ACC title is likely for the Wolfpack men, and so is another top-five NCAA finish. The Wolfpack women finished 18th at NCAAs last year, but return most of their talent back to the pool. The most significant departure for the NC State women is Hannah Moore, who ended her career with the Pack with a third-place finish in the 1,650 free at NCAAs. She leaves the school holding four individual records. However, apart from Moore, most of the Wolfpack’s talent is back. Junior Ky-Lee Perry and senior Elise Haan lead the charge. Perry holds the school record in the 50-yard freestyle, and is one of the nation’s premiere sprint specialists. Haan finished fourth in the 100-yard backstroke at NCAAs, and holds the school record in the event. To go along with Perry and Haan, sopho-

mores Kate Moore and Tamila Holub return to help lead the Pack. Moore burst on the scene as a dangerous middle-distance swimmer last year, and should continue to build on that. Holub had success in the distance events in her freshman season, and sits second in school history in the 1,650 free and third in the 500 free. The Wolfpack women should compete for an ACC title, along with the ever-talented Virginia Cavaliers. Another top-20 NCAA finish is also likely to come for the Wolfpack. On the diving side of things, juniors Madeline Kline and James Brady are the names to watch. Kline and Brady had strong seasons last year, bringing up a diving team that has been average over the past few seasons. Brady qualified for the NCAA Championships in 3-meter and platform diving, while Kline qualified in platform.
