Raleigh has thirdhighest wage growth disparity

The City of Raleigh has the thirdhighest wage growth disparity of the United State’s 52 largest metropolitan areas, according to an analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Headlight Data, an online data aggregator designed for economic and workforce development organizations, released the analysis comparing wage growth in the city from 2005 to 2014 in the 75th percentile and 25th percentile of wage earners.

By this measure, Raleigh trails San Jose and Charlotte for the biggest disparity among wage earners.

HOMECOMING 2015

New UNC president ready despite turmoil Amid questions of leadership and outcry over a lack of transparency, the UNC Board of Governors unanimously elected Margaret Spellings as the president of the 17-campus University of North Carolina system Friday.

The decision comes at the end of a secretive search for candidates that began in January following former UNC President Tom Ross’ unexplained removal from office after serving for five years.

Spellings, who is currently President of the George W. Bush Presidential Center and the former United States Secretary of Education for the Bush administration, will take office March 1.

John Fennebresque, chairman of the UNC Board of Governors, was overcome with emotion following Spellings’ statements accepting the position.

“I’m so excited — so relieved — that we have hired the special person that Margaret Spellings is,” Fennebresque said.

The search Fennebresque has come under much criticism for his handling of the search process and also for his role in Ross leaving. Last week, Fennebresque called an emergency closed meeting between the board members and Spellings, tipping the board’s hand as to whom would be the next president.

The meeting drew a new wave of calls for Fennebresque to step down

College students explored their creative sides Friday at College Night, hosted by the North Carolina Museum of Art. The event was free and provided students with a variety of entertainment, such as the M.C. Escher exhibition, a fashion show, live music and opportunities to create artwork of their own.

“It’s a really good experience because it’s nice seeing other college students that are interested in the same things we are,” said Tony Thorpe, a sophomore studying art and visual communications at North Carolina Central University.

NC State had a large presence at the event. Students from the College of Textiles showed off

their talents in a fashion show, and students from the College of Engineering had their “Infinity Cube” featured with the M.C. Escher exhibit.

The “Infinity Cube” is an art piece designed to complement “The Worlds of M.C. Escher,” which is the largest ever Escher collection in the United States.

The piece is made from several LED lights in the shape of a cube, which is then inside of a box made from two-way mirrors. The lights have a series of repeating patterns that, thanks to the mirrors, seem to continue into infinity.

“We saw the ‘Infinity Cube,’ and that was fascinating,” said Katherine Harrison, a senior studying civil engineering. “I liked how the NC State students

Outside, students had access to a BetaBox, a traveling makerspace housed inside of a shipping container.

“It was all about how you get people to do hands-on projects that relate to the art so people, especially young people, can connect what’s on display with the actual process behind creating some of the art,” said Sean Maroni, an NC State alumnus and founder of Betaversity.

The BetaBox offered 3D printing, laser cutting and other equipment that tied technology and the arts together.

Also outside the museum was the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Art Truck. Escher-themed patterns and designs sprawled the vehicle’s interior, immersing guests in its atmosphere. The designs lining the walls were created by a group of entry-level design students at UNC-Greensboro.

While in the truck, students had the opportunity to make their own prints from wooden blocks, which was one of Escher’s main media.

“We wanted to create a whole environment that is evident of printmaking and also is showing the mathematics that Escher is using in a lot of his works,” said Logan Hamilton, a junior studying drawing from printmaking at UNC-Greensboro. “I think that people are getting more engaged in the work.”

Lu Xu, coordinator of the Art Truck, spoke to the vehicle’s novelty and purpose.

“We spent a year to design the interior, and it has just been being used for two months,” Xu said. “It’s relatively new, but you can see it has a lot of potential. It just changes the way people see images.”

Students from East Carolina University and William Peace University each performed dance routines that depicted their interpretations of Escher’s works. There was also a musical performance by Sunshine Faces, a band from Chapel Hill.

“I think that having it at McDaids last year set a precedence,” Williams said. “We knew we could walk right into McDaids and say, ‘Hey, this is what we did last year; we want to do it again.’ It made everything easier to organize.”

Palestinian Incitement to Terror Refusing peace talks with Israel, Arab leaders issue incendiary lies and anti-Semitic slander, inciting waves of deadly hate crimes against innocent Jews.

The Palestinian Authority, desperate for international attention, now falsely accuses Israel of threats to al-Aksa mosque atop Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. Denying all Jewish rights to Judaism’s holiest site, President Mahmoud Abbas rants about Jews defiling the mosque with their “filthy feet.” Result: Dozens of terror attacks and five murdered in 21 days.

Kim Ring, a senior studying fashion and textile management, made a dress as part of the fashion show.

For her piece, “Metamorphic Shift,” Ring drew inspiration from Escher’s “Metamorphosis I.”

The dress was constructed from red oak wood veneer, hand-cut into various geometric shapes. The lower portion of the dress has larger polygons, while the upper part of the dress has smaller triangles.

“For the model, it’s transitioning from this hard nature into this fluid, fitted to the body, feminine look,” Ring said.

Williams said he is grateful for the opportunity.

“It’s a huge opportunity I think to be able to do something with this magnitude,” Williams said. “As a young artist, it’s nice to get a lot of exposure. You don’t think these kinds of doors will be open at 19.”

Because the Ladies in Red and Williams received such a close number of votes, UAB’s advisor felt that both of them should be selected to open for Tori Kelly. It has not yet been decided if the two will perform together or separately.

Audience voting and a judging panel determined the winner of the competition. Audience voting had 70 percent of the vote and was done online.

Khari Cyrus, student body president, BeeJay Anya, forward on the men’s basketball team, Blaise Boleman, presi-

dent of UAB, and Miah Spencer, captain of the women’s basketball team, were the judges on the panel. They judged based on stage presence, audience appeal, voice quality and overall thoughts.

Ishak said having students open for this year’s homecoming headliner is a great idea.

“This is a chance for everyone at NC State to see the absolute talent that is here,” Ishak said.

Williams said he is nervous but excited to be on stage with Tori Kelly.

“It’s going to be fun being on stage,” Williams said. “It’s not just a NC state gig; it’s so much more than that.”

The competition was a part of Campout, an event sponsored by Student Government, UAB and University Recreation. More than 1,000 students received six loyalty points for attending Campout and spending the night on Miller Fields.

reports that the BOG has “ensured that its process follows the intent of Senate Bill 670.”

Isaacson, Miller, the academic search firm contracted by the board to search for candidates, selected 14 semifinalists out of more than 230 prospects to be interviewed by the university search committee which under the new law would narrow that number down to three to be reviewed by the full board. Spellings was the first to be interviewed by the search committee and the only f ina list to be interviewed by the full board.

Boa rd member Dav id Powers acknowledged the appearance of favoritism saying in an email obtained

by The News & Observer that even if “the candidate” is worthy of the position, he did not believe that the perception of them being “the chairman’s choice” would be good for the presidency.

Despite these tensions, Spellings still feels confident that she will be able to come in and work with her new colleagues effectively.

“I’ve had multiple opportunities to meet with the search committee and the full board, and unless they are academy award-winning actors and actresses, I feel very strongly supported by them and it was a key part of my desire to work here,”

Spellings said.

‘Deficit of trust’ Following comments to the media by president elect Spellings, Stephen Leonard, chair of the UNC System faculty assembly, held an impromptu press conference to express the assembly’s grievances against the board.

“Today the UNC Board of Governors appointed a new president for t he university,” Leonard said.

“The board has yet to explain why it removed the current president, it has yet to account for its intentions regarding the future direction of the university and it has yet to explain why students, staff and faculty were precluded from the review process leading up to

this appointment. We think most citizens would agree with us that this is probably not a good thing.”

Leonard said that though he and members of the faculty assembly showed up to every meeting of the search committee, they were never invited to discuss any matters with any of the candidates.

“Part of what’s troubling about this process is that the board has done all this in clear contravention of its own professed principles i nclud i ng honor i ng t he important traditional role of the faculty in the governance of the academy,” Leonard said. “No student has ever attended any of our campuses to be taught by the Board of Governors

or the president of the university.”

This is not just a local issue. Constituents of many other university ruling bodies around the nation including Washington State, Miami and Nebraska have, within the last year, found themselves cut off from any interaction with candidates under consideration for the system president.

In July, Isaacson, Miller, the entity in charge of the each of these presidential searches, was found to have violated the Open Meetings Act in the University of Nebraska’s presidential search last year, according to the Daily Nebraskan.

There have been successful presidential searches in states like Ohio. Leonard

said that the predominant met hod of president ia l searches nationally is for open searches but there has been a recent movement to close them.

Spoma Jovanovic, a communication professor at UNC-Greensboro, said that the nature of Spellings’ hire will mean a tough start to the relationship.

“We have a president who is in a deficit position in terms of trust,” Jovanovic said. “We hope that she will be able to turn around a situation where instead of a Board of Governors not responding to faculty concerns that we will start being active players.”

You’ll notice in most of the advertisements for these items that white models are showing off these products for effectiveness.

A party was held last Thursday at The Retreat under the theme “CMT vs. BET” (or Country Music Television vs. Black Entertainment Television) in which partygoers dressed as one of two stereotypes: rural white hick or black gangster. Under the guise of dressing as people from “music awards shows,” attendees exploited racist ideas for the sake of a joke.

You veer into racist territory when you

represent a whole community of people who are forced to operate under a system of oppression as a costume, something you can purchase for less than $50 at a local party store. You limit someone’s entire personhood by saying that they can exist as an image. Stereotyping exists because it is easier to cut people off before they’re finished, to imagine that you can know who people are by the color of their skin, by the shape of their eyes, by the way they dress or by the way their body looks.

Complaints about “PC culture” are frequent on college campuses, and these often stem not from genuine censorship by a governmental institution, but from the notion

that you could be wrong in your actions.

People do not like to be wrong, and they dislike even more the idea that they do not deserve every privilege they’ve been provided in life. The desire for personal convenience combines with a lack of empathy and a general sense of self-righteousness to form a dangerous outlook on life.

To dress as a black person is to value them as less of a person. It is to undermine the struggle of being black in the United States. It is to perpetuate unequal power structures that oppress and dehumanize.

It is to patronize and mock elements of a culture you do not rightly belong to.

Culture is not a costume. Don’t treat it as such.

Sometimes a joke (or costume) is not just a joke J

oking is a social interaction strategy that people use to do a variety of things. Sure, even Freud would say that sometimes a joke is just a joke.

Even so, sometimes a joke is used in an attempt to reduce interRupert W. personal tension between Nacoste, Ph. D. people who are interacting Guest Columnist with each other. Sometimes, too, a joke or a costume is used to make a social commentary. In 21st century America, interpersonal tension and social comment are both often motivated by neo-diversity anxiety. Neo-diversity is the interpersonal situation all Americans now live in; a situation where every day we all have encounters (and sometimes interactions) with people from many different groups by way of sex, bodily-condition, gender-identity, ethnicity, sexual-orientation, mental-health condition, religion and race. For some that situation brings out a neo-diversity anxiety that activates prejudice and bigotry.

Since 2008 and the election of President Barack Hussein Obama, at NC State we have had too many instances of racial or religious or gender bigotry go viral. I truly believe that most of us want to interact well with the people who come into our social circles of work or play. Although there is prejudice and bigotry in America, I do not believe we are a nation of bigots. But some Americans, some NC State students, haven’t figured out what it means to be living in the 21st century. Some actually think it means, “I can joke however I want,” until they crash into reality, sometimes with a really loud (social media) bang.

Hoisted on their own Facebook posts, the perpetrators always claim, “We were just kidding. It was just a joke.” But here’s the thing: Nowadays, and too often, a joke is used to camouflage anti-group feelings (i.e. prejudice). Yet, the camouflage is itself a neo-diversity problem. Camouflage, you see, does not eliminate the bigotry of the “joke.” Outward, behavioral (word or deed) expression of antigroup feelings is bigotry. No matter how it is dressed, bigotry is still bigotry.

Understand, too, that the point of that bigotry is to push group division: us versus them. Jokes about groups activate that minimal group effect—automatic categorization of people into groups with a tendency to see those groups as being in competition with each other.

IN YOUR WORDS

How do you think we ended up in the Triangle with the bigotry-motivated murders of our three American Muslim students? How did we end up in the United States with the murders of nine Bible-studying African-Americans in a church? How? We have been too passive in our encounters with language bigotry in our everyday lives. “It’s just a joke,” people say, and we take it as so. “Oh, they don’t really mean that; they’re just joking,” we say to ourselves and others to let it pass.

After that mass murder in Charleston, South Carolina, friends of the now confessed, not crazy, premeditated killer of those nine people, were interviewed. His friends said, yeah, he used to say some racial things … make some racist jokes… but nobody took him seriously … we thought it was just jokes, but now…

Look, we no longer live in an America where anyone can just say anything about anybody and go unchallenged. When Americans did live in that kind of social context, it was because our country was living under the wrongheaded belief, and with an immoral supporting social structure, that made some groups less than other groups.

Women were less than men … in the law.

Blacks were less than whites … in the law.

Homosexuals were less than heterosexuals … in the law.

Through legitimate means, America got rid of, and continues to get rid of, those laws (and customs). As a result, Americans from all kinds of groups are interacting with each other every day on equal footing supported by new legal statutes that give us equal citizenship under the law. That is why today no American from any group has to put up with being ridiculed.

Moving into the light of the real 21st century, as we move toward a more perfect union, the context of American interpersonal life is being changed in fundamental ways that demand that we respect each other. And we are not going to go back into the darkness where camouflage can work. It’s time then for those who think group-focused “joking” and ridiculing is OK to grow up. We are not going back into darkness. And that’s no joke.

Quiet reflection O

ur society is one that values outgoing people. Being outgoing makes you more friends. In the classroom, students are expected to talk frequently. At work, one is expected to be social and speak up during meetings with all kinds of ideas.

Those outgoing, social peoKathleen ple are usually rewarded Maxwell with promotions. MeanCorrespondent while, it’s incredibly easy for people who are shy to be swept under the rug and lost in the crowd.

It’s hard to say how many people really are shy. Most social people arguably have shy traits. Although they’re talkative, they worry that they’re really embarrassing themselves during their conversations.

Few people actually fit the stereotypes of shyness: the ill-at-ease individual who will do anything to get out of social events.

I am the stereotypical shy girl. It takes a lot of effort for me to go to parties or meetings and even more effort to actually talk once I’m there. In high school, many people thought I was rude because I never talked. I struggled to make a lot of friends.

Yet, in reality, I really liked my classmates; I was just fearful that they wouldn’t like me. This is a reality for many shy people.

We desperately want to connect with others, but are too anxious about interacting with them. This doesn’t mean that we are unfriendly or unkind, just that we feel panicked.

In fact, shy people actually make very

good friends. Since shy people rarely are very social, it gives us time to listen and to be observant of other people. Shy people are great listeners. Being able to be a good listener is important in any friendship and, according to C. Barr Taylor of Stanford University, this can be a “source of strength” for shy people. Indeed, many of my friends have complimented me on how well I listen and remember things that they’ve told me.

Quiet, shy people also struggle to gain recognition in the workforce. Shy people are often overlooked in favor of more outgoing individuals. Many believe that shy people just don’t make good leaders, but that’s not always the case. Dr. Lynne Henderson, a psychologist, states that most shy people make exceptional, empowering leaders. Many of history’s biggest role models were noted to be very reserved, shy individuals. Abraham Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt and Rosa Parks have all been described by both friends and historians as shy. Yet, those same individuals made amazing historical contributions.

Shy people can do exceptional things.

We can be great friends, great workers and great leaders. Shy people can fit in well — we just need a space to do so. So, all my outgoing Wolfpackers, don’t write off shy people. Instead, respect how hard shy people work toward being social. It’s not an easy task for us, but one that we are trying to accomplish anyway.

How a toxin in beetles is killing N.C. horses Alexandra Goodfred Staff Writer

Last month, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture suspected blister beetle poisoning caused the death of five horses in North Carolina. The poison, cantharidin, originates from the blister beetle and can contaminate alfalfa hay fed to horses.

Cantharidin, produced by the male blister beetle and transferred to the female during mating, is a chemical used for protection by the beetles. The toxin causes a painful blistering of human skin, and when consumed, the digestive tract. Clyde Sorenson, a professor in the Department of Entomology, said it is unclear how many beetles it takes to kill a horse because it depends on the concentration of cantharidin in the beetles. The striped beetle is thought to be the one that accumulates the most of the toxin.

“We t h i n k t h at c a ntharidin has a toxicity to horses of between 0.5 mg/ kg and 1 mg/kg, so if your horse weighs roughly 1,000 pounds (roughly 500 or so kilograms), then you would think it would take 500 mg or half a gram of cantharidin to kill the horse,” Sorenson said.

According to Sorenson, if cantharidin has a toxicity of 0.5 mg/kg for horses, it would take about 50 beetles to kill a horse. However, it may be less than 0.5 mg/kg toxicity. There have been cases where officials have suspected only 10 to 15 beetles caused the indirect death of a horse by making it sick and leading it to contract another disease that killed it. If a pregnant mare consumes canthari-

din-contaminated hay, she may miscarry her foal.

T he N.C . Depa r t ment of Ag r ic u lt u re stopped the sale of alfalfa hay that originated in Kansas due to a blister beetle outbreak last month. Still, dozens of species of blister beetles live in the Southeastern United States. The striped blister beetle is the species most associated with hay poisoning, though all blister beetle adults feed on the leaves of plants including a lfa lfa, soybeans and wildf lowers.

However, the larvae do not participate in the herbivore diet like their adult form.

“The blister beetle is associated with grasshoppers because the larvae feed on grasshopper eggs, so in places where there’s been an outbreak of grasshoppers, a lot of times shortly thereafter there’s a huge population bump in blister beetles,” Sorenson said.

Though the blister beetle is dangerous and can potentially kill a horse, there is a low probability of horses consuming the beetle or its toxin. According to Shannon Pratt-Phillips, an associate professor in t he Depa r t ment of A n i ma l Science, alfalfa hay is the only horse food that blister beetles can be found in, but it is not the kind of hay most horses live off of.

“Alfalfa hay is quite high in protein, and so most horses don’t need that additional protein, but young growing horses and broodmares could use the extra protein, so it would be more common ly fed to t hose t y pes of horses,” Prat tPhillips said.

According to Sorenson, it is not unusual to find blister beetles in alfalfa hay, though there are things that make it more likely to

have contaminated hay. If the area has recently experienced a grasshopper outbreak or it is later in the summer, there is a greater chance of the beetles being in the hay.

“Blister beetles tend to build up later in the summer, and a lfa lfa can be cut several times over the course of the growing season depending on where you live, and so the best hay for horses is usually the first cutting, as it is less likely to have blister beetles in it,” Sorenson said.

According to Pratt-Phillips, one of the biggest problems in contamination of alfalfa hay is the crimping of the hay when it is being harvested because the crimping can trap beetles inside the bales.

“Alfalfa in general is not going to be infected with blister beetles very commonly because the beetles will eat off the f lowers of the plant, and if you cut the hay and allow it to dry, the beetles will leave,” PrattPhillips said. “But if you crimp it, it closes the ends, and so beetles can get stuck, and when the hay is processed they get ground up.”

Horses are recognized as the most susceptible animals to cantharidin poisoning, but ruminants, such as sheep, cattle and goats, can also be affected — though according to Sorenson, they are less v ulnerable than horses because horses have a simpler digestive system.

To minimize the risk of alfalfa contamination, the N.C. Department of Agriculture emphasizes the impor ta nce of identif ying blister beetles, knowing who the hay supplier is and if that hay supplier can identify the beetles.

COURTESY OF CLYDE SORENSON

The striped blister beetle releases a toxin for protection that can contaminate bales of alfalfa and poison a full-grown horse in high doses. This toxin is believed to be the cause of death of five horses in North Carolina in September.

for a 69-yard touchdown run with 3:24 remaining in the half to close the gap 28-7.

NC State responded by driving 40 yards in eight plays, but ultimately came up short with freshman kicker Kyle Bambard missing a 39-yard field goal. After gaining 322 yards in the first quarter, the Pack totaled just 67 in the second.

Dayes ended the half with 172 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. Brissett completed 15-of-23 throws for 198 yards and two touchdowns. Defensive ends Rose and Darian Roseboro each sacked the quarterback twice.

The third quarter was just as uneventful as the second. Wake

kicker Mike Weaver kicked a 38-yard field goal to put the first points on the board of the second half and to close the gap 28-10.

The Wolfpack finally got its offense going late in the third quarter, once it started getting Dayes involved again. Despite marching down the field in a 12 play, 76-yard effort, the drive ended in yet another missed f ield goal, this one from 33 yards.

Wit h bot h of fenses sputtering, junior wide receiver Bra’Lon Cherry returned the punt 52 yards to the house to give the Wolfpack a 35-10 lead with 4 :30 remaining. These were the first points for NC State since the first quarter.

Doeren believes the bye week helped the Pack rest and prepare to win its first ACC game of the season.

Pack exorcises its Demon Deacons Daniel Lacy

Homecoming game to be on national television

Assistant Sports Editor

ESPN announced Saturday that the NC State football team’s matchup with the ACC-rival Clemson Tigers will be broadcasted nationwide on ABC. This year’s Textile Bowl will mark the 84th time the Wolfpack and Tigers have met on the gridiron since their first meeting in 1899. Clemson leads the all-time series 54-28-1, but the Pack looks to change that Saturday at NC State’s homecoming game, which kicks off at 3:30 p.m. at CarterFinley Stadium.

The NC State football team ended its two-game losing streak with a 35-17 domination of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons Saturday at BB&T Field in Winston-Salem.

After totaling just 26 points and 496 yards in its first two ACC games, the Wolfpack (5-2, 1-2 ACC) tallied 28 points and 322 yards in the first quarter alone against Wake Forest (3-5, 1-4 ACC).

The defensive line dominated the line of scrimmage, sacking the quarterback seven times and adding three hurries and five pass breakups. The pressure the line exerted combined with good coverage in the secondary held the Deacs to just 122 passing yards.

It was NC State’s first win on the road in Wake Forest since 2001.

“It’s good to change history; it’s good to be a part of the team that does it,” graduate defensive end Mike Rose said. “Those young boys on the D-line were going, and they said the old man on the line wasn’t gonna get a sack, so I had to prove them wrong.”

The Wolfpack got off to a fast start, scoring on its opening drive. Senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett escaped a sack and found freshman wide receiver Maurice Trowell for the 59-yard catch-

Swim & dive earns first home victory of year Justine Turley Staff Writer

The NC State swimming and diving team picked up another two wins this weekend against Florida State with its first home meet of the season. The women’s team improved to 3-0 as it defeated the Seminoles 200-99, while the men earned 197 points over FSU’s 103, starting off its dual season 1-0.

“All in all it was a good team effort,” head coach Braden Holloway said. “I thought across the board we had a good performance. Certain areas needed some improvement, and we got that improvement.

I wanted to see our relays take it up a notch, and I feel like we did that.”

The women’s team returned from its trimeet in California last weekend with two victories against Hawaii and Southern Cal. The women continue to pick up steam with this victory against FSU. “I think that a win against Florida State has definitely put the team in a good spot

for the rest of the season,” senior Ashlyn Koletic said. “It’s a good confidence booster, and our women did awesome.”

The relays continue to prove a strong point for the Wolfpack. The women earned first and second place finishes in the 200 medley relay.

Koletic, junior Kayla Brumbaum, sophomore Krista Duffield and senior Riki Bonnema finished first with a time of 1:39.13, while other NC State teammates finished close behind in second. The squad comprised freshman Lindsay Morrow, senior Payton Schrum, freshman Courtney Caldwell and junior Lotta Nevalainen.

The men’s team of junior Scott Johnson, senior Jason Deana, freshman Jabari Baptiste and freshman Justine Moore took home first in the 200 freestyle relay with a time of 1:24.11.

The Wolfpack continued to dominate throughout the meet on both sides.

The women swept the 200 freestyle while the men took first and second in the event.

Wolfpack a 14-0 lead with 12:15 remaining in the first quarter. The run was the fifth longest in school history.

Later in the first quarter, the Pack put together two quickscoring drives, the first of which came on a beautiful 58-yard pass to freshman wide receiver Nyheim Hines for his first career touchdown. On the following drive, Dayes burst through the tackles and left the defenders in the dust for a 57-yard touchdown to give the Wolfpack a 28-0 lead with 45

seconds remaining in the first quarter.

“It comes down to making one guy miss, and Matt did it twice,” head coach Dave Doeren said. “We had two good deep ball passes with good protection off their blitzes ; all 11 guys were doing things right.”

It was a fairly uneventful second quarter until freshman quarterback Kendall Hinton escaped a collapsing pocket and broke free

Volleyball splits matches with Tigers & Yellow Jackets Taylor Peers Staff Writer

NC State volleyball team split its away games over the weekend with a win against Clemson and a loss against Georgia Tech.

The Wolfpack (13-9, 2-8 ACC) defeated Clemson (5-16, 0-9 ACC) in straight sets then lost the battle to Georgia Tech (14-8, 5-5 ACC) in straight sets.

The Wolfpack came ready to play and maintained the lead throughout the first and second sets. Clemson took the first timeout while behind 11-16. NC State didn’t slow down and rushed to 22-19 before taking a timeout. An attack error by the Tigers and two

kills by sophomore Julia Brown led the Wolfpack to take the first set 25-21.

Pack had a conference-seasonhigh attacking percentage of .337 against Clemson.

Clemson was shaken as the Pack took a 14-9 lead early in the second set, thanks to a kill by senior outside hitter Morgan Cormier.

NC State continued to battle as the score climbed to 22-13 before the Tigers made a slight comeback.

The Wolfpack still took the set 25-22.

The third set was a frenzy, as the score tied 16 times, and the lead changed six times. With the score tied at 20, Brown made a kill to get the Pack on a run. Junior setter Maggie Speaks helped out with

some strong serves to take the set for the Pack 25-20.

Speaks had six digs, four kills and two service aces on the night.
