Raleigh’s electric scooters subject to new rules

Early voting begins at Talley Student Union, across North Carolina, pg. 3

On Tuesday, city leaders reviewed a 22-page agreement that outlines proposed rules for the electric scooter companies — Lime and Bird.

City leaders considered banning the scooters entirely, but instead City Council members will be suggesting changes to the agreement that will be reviewed in a few weeks. Some of the new rules for operating the scooters include: riders must be 18 years or older, riding is prohibited on sidewalks and there will be new regulations on where the scooters can be parked.

Chapel Hill highway stripped of Confederate leader’s name

OPINION

On Tuesday evening, the Orange County Board of Commissioners voted to repeal the resolution that named the U.S. 15 highway after the only president of the Confederate States of America. The highway, which runs through Orange County, was named the Jefferson Davis National Highway to honor the Confederate President Jefferson Davis in 1959. The county plans to petition the North Carolina Department of Transportation to find out who the owner of the highway marker is so that it can be removed.

North Carolina band donates new song proceeds to hurricane relief efforts SPORTS ‘We’re all ready for this moment:’ Pack’s seniors get last crack at Clemson, pg. 10

Last Friday, Parmalee released a new single called “Down Town,” which is inspired by the destruction caused by Hurricane Florence in North Carolina and South Carolina last month. The band, whose name is inspired by the members’ hometown of Parmele, North Carolina, included footage captured by ABC11 during the storm in the lyric video. All proceeds from the song will be donated to victims of the storm through the Red Cross.

Early voting begins at Talley Student Union, across North Carolina Staff Report

On Wednesday, the kickoff for early voting began for the midterm elections, giving all eligible students the opportunity to vote for city, state and U.S. House of Representatives seats until Nov. 3, with election day the following Tuesday, Nov. 6.

In Talley Student Union, students who are not yet registered to vote can both register (in Wake County) and vote at the same time.

Pack the Polls, a coalition of students, faculty and community partners, has been working for months by registering students to vote and educating students in an unbiased manner about the types of legislation they will be voting on.

The website also provides students with directions and parking information and access to bus routes. Voting mobility assistance is also available upon request for those who may need it.

Students can learn more about voting in Talley, check their registration status and learn about the six proposed amendments that are included on the ballot. The proposed amendments to the North Carolina

Constitution are the Right to Hunt and Fish Amendment, Marsy’s Law Amendment, Income Tax Cap Amendment, Voter ID Amendment, Legislative Appointments to Elections Board and Commissions Amendment, and Judicial Selection for Midterm Vacancies Amendment.

The Wake County Board of Elections also has information for college students

to help them figure out how, where and when they can register and vote. Students who wish to vote in Wake County can vote at their polling place on Nov. 6, at an early voting location or send in their absentee vote by mail. Students who wish to vote in their home states or home counties in North Carolina must contact the county or state to receive an absentee ballot.

SBP, VP make strides in platform halfway through term Alicia Thomas

Assistant News Editor

At the halfway point of Student Body President Jess Errico’s term, the Executive Branch has started major projects such as housing villages and initiatives to help universities look at applicants and more holistically help students.

On the platform of Errico, a fifth-year studying mechanical and aerospace engineering, and Student Body Vice President Meredith Spence-Beaulieu, a fifth-year Ph.D. student studying entomology, the then-candidates looked to make changes on eight separate areas on campus.

Major accomplishments for the administration so far, according to Errico, are the PACK Meal Share program between dining and Student Government, projects surrounding voter engagement, advocating alongside NC State for the Talley one-stop voting site and major progress in campus childcare options in partnership with Meredith College.

Diversity and Inclusion Diversity competency training, which is

mentioned in the platform, is currently still in planning stages, according to Errico.

On Monday, Oct. 15, members of Student Government along with faculty members and other students participated in an accessibility walk that highlighted areas on campus that needed to be altered to make more accessible to all students.

Errico also mentioned how she and SpenceBeaulieu have been working to address the needs of first-generation students through attending events such as First in the Pack and new student outreach focus groups. Through this, Errico said that she plans on meeting with partners such as New Student Programs to roll out new events.

The platform also states an initiative called Beyond the Box, which calls for a policy change for stating a student’s criminal history on an application.

“Due to a UNC System policy, all prospective students must mark whether they have had a criminal history when applying for admissions,” the platform statement reads. “Due to issues with the criminal justice system, this

disproportionately affects people of color.”

According to Errico, at the previous Association of Student Governments (ASG) meeting, Beyond the Box was sponsored by NC State, presented and unanimously passed. She said that their next course of action will be pursuing advocacy on the state level.

Affordability The Executive Branch has been working with NC State Libraries and the bookstore to make lower cost options of course readings and textbooks better advertised to students through social media, physical signage in the bookstores and eventually establish visible options when students view their course material.

The executive branch is currently advocating for a zero percent increase in tuition and fees for in-state undergraduate students for the 2018-19 academic year. Errico said there are also sufficient funds to go toward initiatives that would help students.

“In addition to these being the lowest tuition increases in 10 years, there was also more mon-

Building renamed for first NC State African-American undergraduate

DAVID TRACEY/TECHNICIAN University College Commons will be renamed Holmes Hall after Irwin Holmes,the first African-American student to receive an undergraduate degree from NC State. The building’s official rededication ceremony will take place on Nov. 1.

Staff Report

Come November, the University College Commons building on campus will officially be renamed Holmes Hall after Irwin Holmes, the first AfricanAmerican to receive an undergraduate from NC State.

A Durham native, Irwin Holmes graduated from the university in 1960 receiving a degree in electrical engineering. Holmes was one of the first four African-American undergraduates to attend the university in 1956.

During his time on campus, Holmes became a varsity athlete in tennis, also becoming the first African-American athlete to compete for NC State and in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

University College Commons, located on Cates Avenue across from Owen Hall and Tucker Hall, was built in 2007 and houses the Exploratory Studies program, the Study Abroad Office, classrooms and University Housing offices for Tucker, Owen, Turlington and Alexander residence halls.

Chancellor Randy Woodson announced the building’s name change via email Monday, the beginning of Diversity Education Week on campus.

The first building to be named after an African-American on campus was Witherspoon Student Center, named for Augustus McIver Witherspoon, who was the second African-American to receive a Ph.D. from the university.

The building, formerly known as the Student Center Annex, was renamed in 1995.

A public rededication for Holmes Hall will be held Nov. 1 during Red and White Week.

ey going to financial aid,” Errico said. “This is partially because there was some state legislature guidelines, Board of Governors guidelines that limited how much could go to financial, and this year we are finally at a place where we are able to do that. But in that meeting, it was student proposed that the recommended numbers for financial aid be increased from $1.7 million to $2 million.”

Housing and Campus Life On the platform, gender inclusive housing and creating Women of Color and Pride Villages were large goals for the student body president and vice president. In a recent ASG meeting, support for these initiatives was gained and according to Errico, ASG President Bettylenah Njaramba charged to use her seat on the UNC Board of Governors to advocate for the villages.

On campus, two separate task forces have been created to gage student opinion, statistics and logistics of the initiatives. Members of the task forces include Sam Chan, a third-year studying political science and communication, and Shelsey Hall, a fourth-year studying

political science and philosophy, who are also Diversity Outreach co-directors.

Academic On the academic front, Errico has had many conversations, especially with the Faculty Senate Chair Carolyn Bird regarding the creation of open syllabi for students when they register for classes, as well as trans-inclusive syllabi that would let students know their professors will use the correct names and pronouns.

Student Health The creation of the Wolfpack Wellness campaign has helped further the goals of awareness of culturally competent services for students and highlighting Question, Persuade & Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention trainings, Errico said.

“It’s the job of the Wellness Department to work in tandem and alongside to support those efforts to make sure we are reaching the broadest audience we can,” Errico said. “The Wellness Department right now is tasked with these two components of the platform and helping see those through to the end, but also leaving a sustainable model that isn’t just the push for this year.”

Transportation According to Errico, NCSU Transportation addressed major concerns that were on Errico and Spence-Beaulieu’s platform through their

own student feedback, and the two parties continue to have routine meetings discussing surface concerns to help students.

Student Government Errico talked about new ways the executive staff is trying to engage with the student body through mediums such as social media so they are aware of administrative initiatives.

“It’s been a very validating experience being able to interface with administrators and say ‘I have these materials, is there any reason why I can’t share them with students,’” Errico said.

“And unless it’s something that happened in closed meetings, it has always been ‘yes’ which makes that a lot easier.”

Sustainability Initiatives such as more access to bike parking and promotion of paperless products have been set forth by other campus partners such as NCSU Transportation and the Facilities Division.

According to Errico, the Executive Branch is now looking into getting rain protection in locations where students park their bikes long-term.

The branch is also measuring how sustainable their events are in an effort to promote eco-friendly alternatives. For Student Government events, no paper products have been used for things such as advertising.

Student Body President Jess Errico, a fifthyear studying mechanical and aerospace engineering, and Student Body Vice President Meredith Spence-Beaulieu, a fifthyear Ph.D. student studying entomology, celebrate winning their Student Government runoff election on March 1 in Talley Student Union.

Each Student Government, specifically Executive Branch, event has been assessed by sustainable event certification through the university, from planning to the execution of the event. According to Errico, the expectation for each event held is that it is sustainable event certified.

Rev. William Barber is an American hero Every now and then, amidst the doom and gloom of our daily politics, a glimmer of hope will shine through in the form of good news. This month, Kevin Moye hope reappeared in North Staff Columnist Carolina with the naming of the Rev. William J. Barber II as the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship.

Informally known as the “genius grant,” MacArthur Foundation Fellowships are granted to “talented individuals who have shown extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits.” The Fellowship is a “no-strings-attached” grant of $625,000 given directly to the recipient over the course of five years. Barber’s claim to the fellowship is his construction of a fusion coalition set on confronting the issues of racial and economic inequality.

Rev. William Barber perfectly encapsulates what it means to be a model citizen.

Barber epitomizes the ideals of selflessness and morality. At just about every opportunity, Rev. Barber is there to fight tirelessly for the rights of the less fortunate even if it comes at a cost to his own safety and status.

Barber has already done an incalculable amount of good for the less fortunate by helping to recreate the Poor People’s Campaign. Started by Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, the Poor People’s Campaign worked to help bring economic justice to poor people in the United States. Brought back to life 50 years later, the campaign now seeks to “challenge the evils of systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation and the nation’s distorted morality.”

Barber drew national attention in 2013 when he began the Moral Monday protests.

These weekly demonstrations held at the North Carolina Statehouse demonstrated the lengths of Barber’s dedication to these causes. In an age of slacktivism where signing online petitions has become a form of protest, Barber and his supporters would

march through Raleigh demanding change.

Upon arriving at the Statehouse, the Moral Monday activists would often be arrested for their acts of civil disobedience.

Among the policy changes they strived to attain were additional funding for health care and a restoration of unemployment benefits, voting rights and environmental regulation.

As every proponent of democracy should do, Barber has worked tirelessly to strengthen our democracy. He is an ardent critic of Republicans’ voter suppression tactics in the state, going as far as saying Apple and Amazon should not develop in the Research Triangle Park if voters pass the voter ID amendment during the upcoming election.

Through his Moral Monday protests, the Reverend was able to help bring North Carolina under national scrutiny for our discriminatory voter suppression laws.

Many credit his efforts as one of the core reasons why former governor Pat McCrory

was defeated in the 2016 election.

Barber provides us an example of what every American has the potential to be. He does not come from a posh background or one rooted in the ivory tower. As a child, Barber attended segregated schools in North Carolina, fully acquainting himself with the dialect of inequality. Through studious work and dedication, Barber was able to climb his way to his present state. Now in his elevated position in society, Barber does all he possibly can to bring the American ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to the people living where he once did.

It is not often that North Carolina makes national headlines for positive political news. As such, the work of William Barber should not be taken for granted. Barber is attempting to radically better our politics in a way that has not been truly attempted since MLK took to the streets in the 1960s.

For the first time in a long time, North Carolina has an American hero.

Disorganization leads to disaster As I sat down to start typing up this column, flashbacks of my elementary and middle school days came flooding in. Images popped up of backpacks filled with loose papers Colin and pencils, broken bindMcKnight ers stuffed with no rhyme Staff Columnist or reason and handwriting that makes the average “chicken scratch” look like calligraphy.

But high school cleaned up my act, literally. Grades mattered more and were padded less. With college breathing down my neck, I knew I had to turn assignments in on time with no excuses, or my grades would plummet. I started actually making, and abiding by, some semblance of a “system,” and saw my academic performance increase by whole letter grades as a result.

It’s easy to just let this habit build and build, especially with an increasing workload as you advance in your courses; after all, with everything that’s expected of you, you might be too busy or tired at the end of the day to do something as seemingly trivial as organizing. But while a day or two is recoverable, insufficient planning can quickly spiral out of control and leave you confused about where things are, and

where they need to be.

Researchers from Illinois State and Ohio State found that material attachment may depend on “duration of exposure,” meaning that even generic and low-value items can become very important to us, despite lacking immediate value. Spread this “just in case” mentality to a couple hundred old

But disorganization can impact more than just our efficiency.

The effects of clutter on you and your workspace are major, according to Digital Marketing Specialist Bryan Hunter. Hunter argues that untidy office spaces impact worker efficiency and mentality. For businesses, as that disorder grows, so does the potential loss for the office.

up your surroundings and your resources for school and work. When stuff piles up, the negative mental effects can make us feel helpless.

For physical belongings, there are plenty of precautions that can be taken to avoid disorganization. Binders, folders, labels, notebooks and dozens of other options, which normally run no more than a few bucks, can make life much easier. Additionally, forcing yourself to decide whether or not certain items are still useful — or just taking up space — goes a long way toward

minimizing clutter.

You may argue that clutter is becoming much less prevalent with the dawn of digital age, but that’s not so. Consultant Deb Lee argues that a digital mess is just like any physical mess: chaotic and inefficient.

She added that programs like lists, calendars and inbox cleaners can save so much of your precious time every day, and limit frustration.

Finally, it is important to distinguish when this kind of behavior is more serious than just the typical unwillingness to clean up, and when outside help and counseling may be necessary. If you or someone you know needs help, make sure to contact the NC State Counseling Center for assistance.

Some remnants of those early days stuck with me throughout high school and into my time here in college. And they’ve taken on a more digital form, as I’ve mentioned: years-old documents that are long overdue for deletion, and toolbars within toolbars that I know I’ll never need again.

But now, basic organizational skills keep the clutter, for the most part, to a minimum, and what little disorder there is pales in comparison to those disheveled days when assignments could be lost or destroyed in my labyrinth of a “system” all because I was too lazy to take 30 minutes to tidy up.

High school students should take advantage of dual-enrollment classes Many college students know the displeasure of having to take a boring general education class. Most of the time, they are courses that are not relevant to our major or are just classes that you are Destry not interested in taking.

Adams Many high schools offer Correspondent Advanced Placement (AP) courses, classes that high school students can take to receive college credit and avoid taking gen-eds in college. However, there is a catch; students can only receive college credit if they receive a certain score on the AP exam. Regardless of how well a student has done in the course, they won’t receive college credit if they did not receive a certain score on the exam.

Additionally, not all schools offer AP classes, or only very few.

Fortunately, there is a better option for students that ensures that they will receive college credit: dual enrollment. Dual enrollment means that a person is both a student at high

school and at a local college. This means that high school students can take community college courses and are able to transfer their credits to a college of their choosing.

NC State offers non-degree studies courses to high schoolers through its Academic Enrichment Opportunities program, but these are limited to students with a high GPA and good test scores who have run out of a type of class at their high school.

Besides guaranteeing college credits, there are many reasons why high school students should partake in dual enrollment and not solely focus on AP courses. For one, community colleges offer a lot more courses than AP. As of 2018, College Board offers 38 AP courses, vastly fewer than the number of courses community colleges provide.

By having access to a large selection of courses, students will have a much easier time fulfilling their gen-ed requirements before officially coming to college. Furthermore, taking community college courses will look great when applying to colleges.

Colleges prize students who take challenging and rigorous courses. Since some colleges like NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill are very competitive to get in, taking courses at community colleges will increase your chances of getting accepted.

Finally, taking community college courses during high school can allow students to save money overall. Should a student take a lot of community college courses, it is possible they could be at least a semester, and possibly a year ahead. This means that a student could potentially earn enough credits to graduate early, saving money in the process, especially as community college costs are much lower than those of a four-year university.

However, there are some downsides to dual enrollment. Most notably, not all colleges will allow students to transfer their community college credit. While NC State allows students to transfer credits from community college, other colleges are not so gracious. For example, some departments at Wake Forest University will not accept credits from a community col-

lege.

Furthermore, should a student want to go to a college that is not in their home state, their community college credits may not transfer.

In addition, some community college courses may only count as an elective, rather than toward a student’s course requirements.

NC State could do a lot to promote dual enrollment by offering some of their courses online to high schools that may not offer such programs without requiring a base GPA. Not only would this give many more students the benefits of dual enrollment, but it also gives them an idea of how college classes are structured. Also, if a student goes to a different college, their credits will more likely transfer since it comes from a 4-year accredited university.

Overall, there are many benefits for high school students on taking community college courses. Not only does it help students receive college credit, but community colleges generally offer more courses, will look good when applying to colleges and can potentially save students money.

CALS clubs get involved at the North Carolina State Fair

Attendees enjoy the attractions at the 2018 North Carolina State Fair on Friday, Oct. 12. The State Fair regularly has an attendance of over one million visitors.

Rachael Davis Correspondent

In the midst of all the delicious fried food and exhilarating entertainment at the North Carolina State Fair, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS), along with the Animal Science and Poultry Science Clubs, delight and teach many members of the general public about different types of cattle, livestock and more.

With over 200 volunteers at the State Fair from the Animal Science Club and the Poultry Science Club combined, the presence of NC State students and organizations at the fair is anything but small, just like the fascinating and educational booths that the clubs run.

Pay ton Smith, a third-year studying animal science and the Milk Booth Chairperson for the Animal Science Club, spoke out about all the interesting opportunities members of the Animal Science Club were able to participate in this year at the fair.

“Every year, the Animal Science Club puts on a Milk Booth, which is a huge learning opportunity for our club members and the community as a whole,” Smith said. “Leading up to the fair, those who are interested go out to the NC State

Dairy Unit and work with some of their cows there. Our main goal while doing this is to get the cows used to us petting and handling them. Then, we bring two groups of six to the fair to run the milk booth. Here, people have the opportunity to pay $3 to milk a cow. Since t he entire boot h is run by our club members, NC State students are able to teach people how to milk a cow, answer any questions they may have about cows, and we even hand out cartons of milk to the participants when they are done.”

I n add it ion to the Milk Booth, members of the Animal Science Club, along with the NC State Beef Unit, show dairy heifers from the NC State Dairy Unit. Just like the cows, members go out at the beginning of the semester and work with the university’s heifers in order to gain familiarity with

one another.

The Animal Science Club also participates in community service while at the State Fair. Smith shared more information about the opportunities included in this.

“For community service, the Animal Science Club helps out with the Junior Shows,” Smith said.

“For this, anyone in the public or in the livestock field can br i ng t hei r a n imals to the fair and have them shown.

Our club members supplement t his.

We watch the ring, make sure no animals get out, and pass out ribbons to all the kids that participate. Basically, wherever the Livestock Office needs us, we will be there.”

Similar to the Animal Science Club, the Poultry Science Club is also very immersed at the State Fair. Kat Wilhelm, a fourth-year studying poultry science

and the treasurer of the Poultry Science Club, reflects on all of the many different possibilities members of the Poultry Club get involved with at the fair.

“The Poultry Science club has an exhibit set up in the Poultry Science tent,” Wilhelm said. “In this tent, we display chickens that are for sale, and in the corner, we have a booth were we provide information for the public and many different things for them to see, like 3D models of different types of chicken houses,” Wilhelm said. “We also display different kinds of feed and informational posters, as well as conventional and educational coloring pages with different poultry anatomy for kids. Parents like to pick up these pages if they homeschool their children; they like to teach them the egg-laying cycle. We try to answer any questions for the public and engage with them as much as we can.”

If you are interested in viewing these exhibits, be sure to head out to the State Fair, which is running until this upcoming Sunday, Oct 21. If you are interested in helping out with these exhibits and booths next year, or want to join any of the clubs mentioned, you can contact the Animal Science club at ansclubncsu@ gmail.com and the Poultry Science Club at poultryscienceclub.ncsu@gmail.com.

NC State students shed light on language discrimination

Ben Wolf

Correspondent

“Can you tell if someone is black on the phone?”

The question was met with silence. No one wanted to speak up, to acknowledge the issue at hand. Looking around, there were no black students in the room.

But Shalina Omar, a graduate student in English at NC State, didn’t shy away from the problem. She showed a clip from the 2018 movie “Sorry to Bother You,” in which a call center worker is encouraged to use his “white voice” on the phone. The answer to her question, of course, was yes.

This segment was a part of “Policy Speaks: Language Diversity in Practice,” a Diversity Education Week event hosted by the Language Diversity Ambassadors at NC State. Omar and three other graduate students discussed com-

mon conceptions of certain languages and the prevalence of language discrimination in media and daily life.

“When people think of equal protection under the law they often think race/gender/ disability status,” said Marie Bissell, one of the ambassadors and a graduate student in English over email after the event, “but since language can be a proxy for these types of discrimination it is important to clarify its place in the laws of our society.”

One example which demonstrated this was a public service announcement for the Fair Housing Act, which was shown during the event. In it, a man was shown calling the same apartment multiple times, looking to rent. Each time, he put on a different accent, posing as a black, Indian or Chinese man, and was turned away over and over until he finally used his “white voice,” which the woman on the other end was happy to oblige.

The Ambassadors discussed the origin of this sort of discrimination, which often stems from depictions of people of color in mass media. For example, Sofía Vergara’s Latin accent is portrayed as sexy, and Speedy Gonzales’ is lawless and wild. Characters with Southern accents, like Forrest Gump, are often meant to be viewed as unintelligent.

One quote by writer Rosina Lippi-Green, which was featured in the presentation, summed it up nicely: “[Language discrimination] is so commonly accepted, so widely perceived as appropriate, that it must be seen as the last widely open backdoor to discrimination.”

Bissell cited examples such as English-only policies, which force employees to speak English while at work. In North Carolina, the Hispanic population has nearly quadrupled since 1990, making this a particularly pressing issue.

Another form of discrimination which can’t be seen — or heard — is audism, the belief that

hearing people are inherently superior to the deaf. Alison Eggerth, another one of the presenting Ambassadors and a graduate student in English, spoke on this portion of the event.

“I don’t think it gets the recognition that it needs, because it’s not like people who use ASL (American Sign Language) are coming from other countries,” Eggerth said. “They’re here, in the United States. This is their home, but they still struggle finding accessibility.

Eggerth said that out of the 35,000 students at NC State, only 46 are registered with the Disability Resource Office as hard of hearing or otherwise in need of an interpreter. However, this doesn’t make their experiences any less valid.

“So much of our world is oriented towards hearing,” Eggerth said. “If the fire alarm went off, we’d hear it before we’d see it; if there was a

‘We’re all ready for this moment:’ Pack seniors get last crack at Clemson Andrew Schnittker Sports Editor

This senior class for NC State football has accomplished quite a bit. They were all part of last year’s 9-4 finish that saw the Wolfpack win its most ACC games (six) since 1994. They all played in last season’s big wins over, at the time, top25 opponents in Florida State and Louisville.

They’ve all been instrumental in this year’s 5-0 start that has NC State at No. 16 in the AP poll and in excellent position to win double-digit games and go to a New Year’s Six bowl game.

The one thing this group hasn’t done?

Beat perennial ACC and National contender Clemson, something it will try to rectify with a trip to Death Valley to face No. 3 Tigers Saturday.

“It’s huge,” senior center Garrett Bradbury said. “I haven’t beaten these guys since I’ve been here. And whenever you finish a game, you never feel like an opponent’s better than you. And so to not have beat a team in the four years that I’ve been here just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Obviously this is a different team, but at the end of the day it is a goal of mine, it is a goal of this team to beat this team.”

This senior group that includes Bradbury, quarterback Ryan Finley, linebacker Germaine Pratt, defensive tackle Eurndraus Bryant, defensive end Darian Roseboro, running back Reggie Gallaspy Jr., receiver Stephen Louis and others may not have become the first NC State team to beat Clemson since 2011. That team took a 37-13 blowout win behind the heroics of Mike Glennon at quarterback and Tobias Palmer at receiver.

They also haven’t been the first team to beat Clemson on the road since a 38-6 win behind Philip Rivers in 2002. But they’ve come close. They’ve come heartbreakingly, agonizingly close.

In 2016 at Clemson, the Pack had a chance to win the game at the buzzer with a 33-yard field goal attempt, but senior kicker Kyle Bambard pulled it wide right, and NC State fell in overtime. That Clemson team went on to win the National Championship.

Last season at home, the Pack took a 21-17 lead to halftime, but was outscored 14-0 in the third quarter and ended up falling 38-31, despite a chance to tie the

game on its last possession.

While the Wolfpack will say all the right things about wanting to put those games behind them and focus on this season, it’s human nature to think about how close those teams came. The key will be taking the right lessons from what the team did well (and there was a lot) against a top-tier team and learning from its mistakes. NC State will also need to find the right balance between using those close losses as motivation and moving forward.

“You want to think about the past a little bit,” Louis said. “For us, just going back and looking at those games, understanding what we did well and understanding what we didn’t do well. Just learning from them, so we have to look back in the past to learn so the future can be better than what the past was. So we have to think about the past, but really you just want to learn from it.”

That past experience can also help the Pack’s leaders prepare for what they’ll face in one of the best atmospheres in college football Saturday.

“I think it’s a good thing,” Finley said.

“I think our team is very experienced.

I think we’ve got a lot of guys left over from going down there two years ago.

It’s exciting. It’s a great challenge for us,

great opportunity.”

Finley’s experience against Clemson, particularly in last year’s game when he completed 31 of 50 pass attempts for 338 yards, three touchdowns and two picks, could prove to be a valuable X-factor for a team that may need a career performance from its NFL-caliber signal caller to pull this one out.

“We have a lot of confidence in Ryan every game,” Louis said. “But this one specifically because he’s a great leader; he’s a senior. He’s been made for this moment. He’s ready for this moment. We’re all ready for this moment.”

Joining this senior class in looking for a first this week is head coach Dave Doeren, who is 0 for 5 against the Tigers as NC State’s head coach. Doeren knows this game has the potential to take a program he’s already elevated well past his starting point to another level.

It’s pretty much a must-win game if the Wolfpack wants to achieve its ultimate goal of representing the Atlantic Division in the ACC Championship Game Dec. 1. Doeren knows a hungry, battle-tested group of seniors will the key to taking that next step.

“I think all these seniors have been in some dogfights with Clemson,” Doeren said. “Just finishing the job is something

that’s important to them. I think all seniors across the country would say that they want to leave a legacy behind that they can be proud of. And doing something that you haven’t done yet is always a part of that. You talk about raising the bar; that’s something that these guys want to be able to say they did.”

Win or lose Saturday, this senior class has earned its place in NC State lore, especially if this team still goes on to double digit games. However, the importance of this game can’t be understated.

The winner will be in the driver’s seat for a spot in the ACC title game, and possibly even the College Football Playoff.

If this group goes down as the first to win the Textile Bowl in seven years, it would also be known as the one that raised NC State football to a new level.

Leaving that legacy, and setting a foundation for the players till to come, is something that means a lot to the group that will suit up to face its Atlantic Division rival for the last time Saturday.

“We all want it,” Louis said. “The senior class, that was definitely one our goals and that just sets the standard for the years after we leave. So just having that legacy is important, because all the younger guys who come in will understand what the standard is for us.”

Stakes high as ever in Textile Bowl Alec Sawyer

Assistant Sports Editor

Clemson and NC State have played each other in football 86 times, dating back to the series’ first matchup in 1899 in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The next installment of the Textile Bowl will take place in Clemson this weekend, and it may just be the biggest game in the series to date.

The No. 16 Wolfpack (5-0, 2-0 ACC) and the No. 3 Tigers (6-0, 3-0 ACC) will take the field at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, with the ACC Atlantic Division title essentially on the line. That’s nothing new; the two played that quasi-division title game last year as well, but in a broader scope there has never been a game between the Pack and the Tigers quite like this weekend’s.

This will mark just the fourth time in series history that both NC State and Clemson have been ranked for the game, and with a combined ranking of just 19, this is far-and-away the best matchup in series history as far as the polls are concerned. In addition to that, they don’t often meet with both teams undefeated.

In the 86-game history of the series, Saturday will be just the 12th time that both teams enter the game with unblemished records. However, most of those 11 previous matchups came in the first few weeks of the season. After week three, this is just the second time in series history NC State and Clemson will match up with perfect records at stake.

The other time that happened was in 2000, when 5-0 Clemson beat 4-0 NC State by a touchdown in Death Valley.

NICK FAULKNER/ARCHIVE

Head coach Dave Doeren shouts to his team during the 38-31 loss to Clemson on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2017 in Carter-Finley Stadium.

This time, NC State has even more to prove. Saturday’s game will provide the opportunity for the Pack to right the wrongs of what has been an abysmal 14 years of games against Clemson.

The Tigers lead the all-time series record 57-28-1, and while it has been competitive at times, Clemson has absolutely dominated the Textile Bowl in the 21st century. Clemson has won 13 of the last 14 matchups against NC State, dating back to 2004. That lone Wolfpack win came in Raleigh in 2011, and was preceded by seven straight Clemson wins. It has been

followed up by six consecutive Tigers’ victories.

That seven-game winning streak from 2004-10 for Clemson is the longest for either team in Textile Bowl history, and if the Tigers beat the Pack this weekend they will match that streak with their current one. The last 14 years have been brutal for NC State when it comes to Clemson, but a win this weekend for the Pack would push the program to a height it hasn’t experienced in a long time.

But to win, the Wolfpack has demons it has to exorcise. The series hasn’t been

kind to the Pack for a long time, but it has been especially brutal the last two seasons. In 2016, NC State had a prime opportunity to pick up its first win at Clemson since 2002.

But it didn’t. It’s a game that NC State fans will never forget. With the game tied 17-17 in the fourth quarter, the Pack missed a 33-yard field goal that would have taken down the No. 3 team in the nation. NC State went on to lose in overtime, in heartbreaking fashion.

Fast forward to 2017 in Carter-Finley Stadium. The Wolfpack was putting together a beautiful drive, down a score, looking to tie things up in the final minute of the game. On a fourth-and-10, nowgraduate quarterback Ryan Finley connected for a first down with now-redshirt junior receiver Jakobi Meyers.

However, it got called back for an illegal shift, a critical mental mistake for the Pack. On the next play, Finley threw an interception which sealed another heartbreaking loss to Clemson for NC State.

Those games are behind the Wolfpack now, and Saturday brings with it perhaps the biggest game in the storied history of these two teams. The Textile Bowl has been played every year since 1971, and Clemson has controlled it.

However, this weekend gives NC State an opportunity to try and forget about all those heartbreaks and push its program to a new level. A win for the Wolfpack Saturday would be maybe the biggest in program history, and would fully insert NC State into the College Football Playoff conversation.

Clemson sports editor breaks down Wolfpack vs. Tigers with

Q&A Colin Halm

Andrew Schnittker Sports Editor

NC State football has its biggest game of the season this week with a trip to take on No. 3 Clemson. The Wolfpack seeks its first win over the Tigers since 2011.

Technician caught up with Colin Halm, sports editor of Clemson student news-

paper, The Tiger, via email to break down this week’s game.

Technician: NC State head coach Dave Doeren called the past two games between these two teams “dogfights.” Why do you think that’s been the case?

Colin Halm: Both games have been back-and-forth affairs won or lost in the final moments by exactly seven points (24-17 in 2016 and 38-31 in 2017). Two years ago, NC State was starting to look

like a team on the rise. They played the No. 1 team on the road and lost in overtime. Not too shabby. Last year, NC State was ranked, playing at home and up against a Clemson secondary ravaged by injuries (Ray-Ray McCloud, one of Clemson’s wide receivers, had to play cornerback when the Tigers needed six defensive backs on the field). Quarterback Kelly Bryant couldn’t get much yardage on downfield throws but excelled just enough with short ones and

on the ground to narrowly escape Raleigh with a 38-31 win sealed by a K’Von Wallace interception in the fourth quarter.

T: For NC State (and probably every team in the Atlantic), Clemson is the top target, the team to beat if you want to move up and have a chance to play in Charlotte in December. What is Clemson’s perception of NC State?

Wolfpack defense looks to extinguish Clemson offensive fire Tristan Tucker Correspondent

The NC State football team is coming off of the bye week having to face the No. 3 team in the country, the Clemson Tigers.

These two titans of the ACC will face off on Saturday. The Pack defense matches up well with the Tigers offense for the most part, but here is an in-depth look at how the units compare.

SECONDARY VS. QUARTERBACK

Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence is one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, and the Wolfpack defense must shut him down quickly and effectively if they want to have any hopes of winning.

Lawrence has 11 touchdowns to only two interceptions for 868 yards and 69 percent completion, showing his high efficiency.

A strong Pack secondary will have every opportunity to stop the electric Tigers quarterback, with redshirt junior safety Jarius Morehead and junior cornerback Nick McCloud leading the way.

Joining Morehead and McCloud are dynamic freshman corner Tanner Ingle and junior corner Chris Ingram, as well as equally strong safeties junior Tim KiddGlass and redshirt senior Dexter Wright.

This entire crew has amassed four interceptions with one being returned for a touchdown, along with nine pass deflections. To say the least, this shows that the secondary will challenge Lawrence.

SECONDARY VS. WIDE RECEIVERS

The aforementioned secondary will face off with the Tigers, dominant receiving core led by Hunter Renfrow, Amari Rodgers and Tee Higgins. This trio has five touchdowns between them with 755 yards through six games.

“He’s a clutch player, makes a lot of plays for them on third down and in the red zone” Coach Doeren said of Renfrow.

“Stopping Renfrow and the entire receiving core on third down will be crucial to keeping the game evenly paced.”

Sports OFFENSIVE

continued from page 12

The starters for the Pack secondary all have at least one pass broken up, with the team averaging 1.8 per game, which shows the Pack keeps its coverage close and effective. This crew will certainly pose challenges for the Pack secondary, much like Lawrence himself, but if the secondary can keep its coverage tight and not let the receivers get off to a hot start, it should help secure a win.

LINEBACKERS VS. RUNNING BACKS

Running back Travis Etienne is one of the best running backs in college football. Etienne has 761 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns this season and is one of the focal points of this Tigers offense. Etienne has at least one touchdown in every game this season and is averaging an absurd 9.2 yards per carry and 4.6 yards per reception. Etienne has broken school records, such as most rushing yards in a four-game span which was previously set by Woodrow Dantzler in 2000. In games Etienne has at least one touchdown in the first half, the Tigers have won by a combined

TIGERS

CH: The coaches never count a team out. Not even Florida State who is having their worst season in 35 years. That being said, NC State is the only ranked team right now in the entirety of the ACC despite having four teams ranked to start the year. Since the Wolfpack has played hard in both stadiums the last few years, I know that no one inside the huddle is taking anything for granted against Dave Doeren’s squad.

T: The Tigers had a quarterback controversy earlier in the season. How did that impact the team, and what can we expect to see from Trevor Lawrence?

CH: I don’t think it impacted the team as much as the media thinks it did. Everyone said their piece, but in the end, coach Swinney decided to move forward with a quarterback that forces teams to respect passing past the line of scrimmage instead of the proven, scrambleprone veteran. Lawrence has shown that he takes a little time to warm up during the games. That could be a by product of being a backup for the first four games of the season, but he doesn’t look like he’s truly comfortable until his third drive.

TECHNICIAN

PAGE 13 • THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2018

225-61. Their closest of such games was against Syracuse, in which the Tigers won 27-23.

Stopping Etienne early and efficiently will be the key to winning this game. The man the Pack will need to call on is superstar graduate linebacker Germaine Pratt.

Normally, the defensive line would stop running backs, but there is no guarantee of this due to Etienne’s explosiveness, so the linebacker trio of Pratt, redshirt freshman Isaiah Moore and sophomore Louis Acceus will be called upon to make tackles and take names. This trio has a combined 38 solo tackles, with Pratt accounting for 25, or 66 percent of them.

DEFENSIVE LINE VS. OFFENSIVE LINE

The Clemson offensive line has only allowed four sacks on Lawrence this year, which looks good at first, but they allowed four on former Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant, and a total of 27 sacks last year. The offensive line of Clemson looks almost identical to last year’s squad and has shown some improvement from the 27 sacks they allowed last year, as they are on pace to allow only 13.7 in the regular season. Returning starting left After that, watch out. He has completed 69 percent of his 100 passing attempts for 868 yards and 11 touchdowns to only two interceptions. He’s efficient and gives the running game a chance to thrive.

T: Who are some other key players for Clemson?

CH: Sophomore running back Travis Etienne will be important for Clemson’s offense all day. He would actually lead all Power-5 running backs in yards per carry if not for his own teammate, freshman Lyn-J Dixon. Lawrence likely won’t be able to carry the offense just yet and Etienne will be crucial to taking the pressure off. Left tackle Mitch Hyatt had a tough game against Syracuse a few weeks ago and needs to keep the NC State pass rush at bay and give Lawrence as much time to throw as he can. The last time Lawrence tried to escape serious pressure he wound up getting knocked out of the game. We don’t want to see that happen again.

T: Who are some underrated players?

CH: Somehow teams are still sleeping on freshman wide receiver Justyn Ross.

Ross leads the team in yards per catch this year at a whopping 20.1. Tee Higgins looked like the best overall receiver for Clemson this year, but Ross has been the best deep threat and an even more elu-

tackle Mitch Hyatt is arguably their best O-lineman, but their other pieces are a mixed bag. Center Justin Falcinelli has a tendency to misnap the ball, tackle turned right guard Sean Pollard is playing better since he moved inside and right tackle Tremayne Anchrum and left guard John Simpson are new starters despite being in the system previously.

The offensive line is arguably the weakest unit of the Tigers offense, but should certainly not be slept on, because if they can create lanes for Etienne, they can be unstoppable. On the other hand, if the Pack’s strong defensive line starters of redshirt junior James Smith-Williams, senior Darian Roseboro, redshirt junior Larrell Murchison and senior Eurndraus Bryant, who have a combined sack total of 6.5 sacks this season, can sustain pressure on Lawrence, this will be a very winnable game.

DEFENSIVE LINE AND LINEBACKERS VS. TIGHT ENDS

Like the Pack, the Tigers primarily use their tight ends as blockers, but are also willing to use their tight ends if they need

them in short yardage situations, as well as to get the extra first down. Tight ends graduate Milan Richard and freshman Braden Galloway have a combined 79 yards and a touchdown, and almost average a first down per reception at 9.9 yards.

If the Pack can keep the tight ends covered nicely, it will see no problems from this area. The Pack will also need to get through them when they help bolster the Clemson O-line.

MATCHUP TO WATCH

Pratt versus Etienne. Both of these guys believe they are the best players on their respective crews, and maybe even teams as a whole. Watching to see if Pratt can stop Etienne, or if Etienne can outmaneuver Pratt, will be the most entertaining matchup of the game.

DEFENSIVE MVP

Pratt again. Pratt is the leading tackler for the team, the best linebacker in the country last week per Pro Football Focus with a grade of 91.9 and is coming off of a nod to the ACC Player of the Week honors. If Pratt can make a statement in this game as well, he will be, without a doubt, the defensive MVP this week.

sive player having already evaded doubledigit tackles in far fewer snaps. Safety K’Von Wallace also doesn’t enough credit for what he does. Wallace forced the crucial fumble at the end of the Texas A&M game that gave the Tigers back the ball late in the fourth quarter. He has a good nose for the football and plays as physical as most NFL-caliber safeties.

T: How do the Tigers match up with NC State, particularly Ryan Finley and his receivers?

CH: Before the bye week, Clemson played Wake Forest and managed to stop talented receiver Greg Dortch and the rest of the Demon Deacon offense. So much so that they did not record a single touchdown while Clemson piled on nine of their own. They did that by scheming a cornerback and OLB Isaiah Simmons on him on just about every play. Dortch averaged nine receptions in the five games prior to playing Clemson when he was held to just three for 37 yards.

NC State has done a much better job distributing the ball as top receiver Kelvin Harmon outpaces Jakobi Meyers in receptions by just three, albeit with 215 more yards and an extra touchdown. Clemson’s top corners Trayvon Mullen and Aj Terrell are not freshmen anymore and have done a good

job locking up the boundaries. Finley is not known specifically for being a mobile quarterback, but he has gouged Clemson before while scrambling. If the receivers draw the defense back, the Tigers might want to leave a defender over the middle to cover all their bases.

T: What is your final prediction for this game?

CH: I predict Clemson goes up early, then the Wolfpack fights back, but loses on a last-second field goal. Final score: NC State 28, Clemson 31.

Pack high-powered offense meets shutdown defense

Camden Speight

Assistant Sports Editor

NC State will travel to Clemson, South Carolina in a highly awaited matchup against the Clemson Tigers on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.

Both teams are undefeated in the 2018 season and the winner of this game has the inside track to winning the Atlantic division and the ACC Championship game. The game also holds College Football Playoff meaning as a loss for the Tigers would lessen their chance and an NC State loss would surely knock the Pack out of a longshot spot in the top-four teams.

That being said, the efficient Pack offense will face its most difficult challenge of the season. The Clemson defense has yet to allow 30 points in a game so far this year and has given up less than 10 points in three games this year.

THROUGH THE AIR

Graduate quarterback Ryan Finley has been one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the nation in his final year in college football, ranking No. 5 in the nation in total QBR by ESPN. He is going up against a Tiger defense that gives up 261.2 yards per game, good for third best in the country.

The Pack rank sixth in the country with 335.4 passing yards per game, showing its explosiveness in that category. On the other side, Clemson also ranks sixth in passing yards given up at 152.8, creating a very in-

With a number of receivers with different skill sets that NC State can put on the field, the Pack can create any matchup it wants against the Tiger secondary. Given that, Finley should be able to find the group led by junior Kelvin Harmon enough to put points on the board and keep the game close.
