Welcome

he Wolfpack family welcomes you with open arms, ready to see you and become an engaged and informed citizen of an increasingly complex global community. We are proud of our University and all that it offers. Our history and mission connect us to the people and culture of North Carolina in a unique way, affording our students insight into real-world applications of contemporary research and classical study. We develop leaders by providing a hands-on, multi-disciplinary education that strengthens the versatility of our students.

We encourage community engagement — the kind of outside-the-classroom activities that enhance your experience inside the classroom and broaden the scope of an N.C. State education.

While at N.C. State, you will have opportunities to develop your potential through experiences that generate personal growth in character, service and leadership. These moments may occur in the form of the Krispy Kreme Challenge, Study Abroad, volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, working for the Technician or researching with one of our outstanding faculty members.

The more than 30,000 students on our campus represent a diverse community composed of student clubs, communities and organizations spanning a variety of interests and passions. Our history has created timeless traditions that harness the energy and enthusiasm of our student body. From Wolfpack Welcome Week to camping out for basketball tickets, I hope you will take time to live and shape the rich heritage that preceded you, and of which you will become a part during your time at N.C. State.

The Brick will help you discover ways to seek these opportunities and involve yourself in the traditions of our dynamic University. I encourage you to make the most of your time here.

This is the University of one-of-a-kind national models and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. nn Photo by Peggy Boone

Go Pack!

THIS IS N.C. STATE

Words of advice from college deans Because they’ve experienced a lot of education, the heads of the colleges offer their words of wisdom College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Dean Johnny C. Wynne “Four years probably seems like a long time to many of you. Let me assure you, it’s not. My advice is to take advantage of the relatively short time you have here at N.C. State. We offer a world-class education, but you have to do your part. You have to seek out and take advantage of the educational opportunities the University offers. I would encourage you particularly to look for educational opportunities beyond your classes. Participate in research projects and learn more about how science is done. Check out Study Abroad programs. Put forth the effort to get the most out of your time here at N.C. State.”

College of Design Dean Marvin J. Malecha “You have before you the opportunity to ask deep questions, to explore as you never have and to redesign who you are on the basis of what you believe. Be open to all that is available to you, participate broadly in the life of the University community. Be wary of the trivial and the superficial. Seek to find the joy in your life.”

The Brick

College of Education Dean Jayne Fleener “College is a time for exploring new ideas and setting foundations for your future. College counts! Take advantage of everything N.C. State has to offer. Become a part of the community and take risks. And give back to others through friendship and service. These can be the best years of your life!”

College of Engineering Dean Louis Martin-Vega “During your first year, I would recommend that you visit www.engineeringchallenges.org and become familiar with the National Academy of Engineering’s Grand Challenges for the 21st Century. These challenges — making solar energy economical, securing cyberspace and preventing nuclear terror, among others — will shape the rest of your lives, and the work you do in engineering will help solve them. I also encourage you to forge new friendships, enjoy the athletic events on campus and spend some time exploring the arts, student clubs, community service projects and other activities. Life at N.C. State is engaging, challenging and fun. Enjoy it.”

College of Humanities and Social Sciences Dean Jeffery P. Braden “The friends you meet at N.C. State will last a lifetime— so be sure to choose wisely. Some of the friends you should make include Plato, Betty Friedan, Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Mead, Confucius and Maya Angelou; our faculty are eager to introduce you (and help you make other friends, too)!”

Poole College of Management Dean Ira R. Weiss Networking: Seek out and participate in opportunities to network with professionals in your chosen field.

Involvement: Participate in student clubs, attend special events like the Wachovia Executive Lectures, etc.

Think to the future: Take advantage of study abroad and other international opportunities.

Don’t forget: To study and check in with mom and dad once in a while.

College of Natural Resources Dean Robert Brown “You have four years to prepare yourself for the life you want to lead. Learn from your professors in the classroom, but don’t overlook the opportunity to learn, explore and grow from participation with clubs, sports, student research, Study Abroad, volunteering for Alternative Spring Break, summer internships, interesting courses beyond those required and, importantly, your new friends.”

College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Dean Daniel L. Solomon “College should prepare you for your career, but it also should prepare you to be a citizen of the world. Don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone: Take classes outside your major, talk to people who come from different backgrounds than you, ask your professors tough questions. You likely will find that the more you learn about the world around you, the better you understand yourself. Oh, and go to class!”

College of Textiles Dean A. Blanton Godfrey “Get to know at least one professor really well your first year on campus. Graduates frequently tell us how much the personal contact with a professor meant to their time on campus.

Join a few clubs or activities that really fit with your interests and also broaden them. “A few” is critical; don’t join everything that sounds interesting and then do little.

Join a few and get involved. But always remember that academic work comes first.

You want to be around for all four years to enjoy these activities.

Meet some other students that come from totally different backgrounds than your own. N.C. State is a wonderfully diverse place with students from every state, more than 100 other countries and from many religious and ethnic backgrounds.

There are wonderful opportunities for learning outside the classroom that may be more important than your classes.

Take at least one course every semester that really pushes you hard. This is the time of your life to learn the hard stuff that will prepare you for life.” nn

“Make sure you go to classes. It's tempting not to go, since no one is watching you to make sure you go.

You might miss out on something important.”

“Work hard and enjoy yourself, but manage your time wisely. Your freshman year grades will reflect on how well you did that.”

“Keep your nose to the grindstone and study hard. Definitely get involved and make friends. Those are going to be the people you will be interacting and studying with. It helps the learning process.”

“Go to class every day, study hard, take advantage of networking and undergraduate tutorials and be sure to have fun.”

The beginning

T

he North Carolina General Assembly founded the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts on March 7, 1887. Designated as a land-grant college under the Morrill Act of 1862, the school followed the act’s mission of providing practical higher education still largely unavailable to farmers, industrial workers and others outside the upper-class. By focusing on agriculture and mechanic arts, these new land-grant schools gave students the opportunity to receive a college education regardless of their income level or social status.

Naming lthough the campus has always been located in Raleigh, the name of the institution has changed often, meeting with clashes between alumni, the General Assembly and the UNC System.

In the 1910s, partisans used the name “State College� to describe the curriculum expansion beyond the

A 12

The Brick

original mission set forth by the legislature. The State College nickname found its way into the proper name in 1917, when the school officially changed to the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering, replacing the outmoded term “mechanic arts.”

North Carolina’s three public institutions, the University of North Carolina, N.C. State and the Women’s College at Greensboro, were consolidated into the University of North Carolina by the General Assembly in 1931 to save money during the Great Depression. The name was changed to the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering of the University of North Carolina to reflect the creation of the consolidated university. Still, the nickname “State College” stuck.

In 1963, some Consolidated University of North Carolina officials and trustees wanted N.C. State to become the University of North Carolina at Raleigh. Alumni resisted this change and backed the name North Carolina State University to reflect the school’s unique status as a land-grant institution. The result: North Carolina State of the University of North Carolina at Raleigh.

In 1965, North Carolina State University at Raleigh finally became the official name. The state legislature tacked on the “at Raleigh” tag to appease the Consolidated UNC administration, but few use the geographical reference. nn

Holladay Hall

The first brick building

M

ain Building opened its doors on Oct. 3, 1889 to usher in the first class. At the time, everything was located in, as students called it, Old Main, including administrative offices, dorms, classrooms and a small library. In 1915, the building of Romanesque revival design was named Holladay Hall in honor of Alexander Quarles Holladay, the school’s first president. The rear side of Holladay Hall features an ornamental Block “S” built into the eaves.

Holladay Hall was designated a historic site by the Raleigh City Council June 16, 1969.

Today, the building houses the offices of the chancellor and central administration. nn

The WWI Memorial Bell Tower

Illuminating campus icon

T

he WWI Memorial Tower, also known as the Bell Tower, is likely the most recognized landmark on campus. Located on the northeast end of campus, this “legend in stone” contains a clock, shrine room and plaque. The carillon bells planned for the tower were never installed due to a lack of funding.

The 115-foot monument is built from 1,400 tons of fine-cut granite from Mount Airy set on a 700-ton concrete base and exceeded $150,000 in cost. Funding to finish the structure was made possible with a grant from the Works Progress Administration, one of the many programs introduced under President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal during the Great Depression. The tower was intended to honor WWI veterans, specifically the 33 fallen heroes who were N.C. State alumni.

While the idea for the Memorial Tower first arose in 1919, it wasn’t dedicated until 1949 because of funding issues throughout the Great Depression and World War II. In 1998, Chancellor Marye Anne Fox initiated the refurbishing of the tower’s floodlights so they could bathe the tower in a red glow. Those lights are now a way to signal a sports victory, a student or faculty honor or certain holidays. The Bell Tower also adorns the University seal. nn

ach summer, freshmen get a preview of campus at New Student Orientation. During the two-day program, future students have the opportunity to learn about their academic curriculum, avenues for student life and ways to get involved when they return as official students in the fall. They can also make their first college friends and sign up for their first semester’s classes. Students get to test drive dorm life and participate in activities that allow them to get to know campus better. At the Information Fair, students and their parents are able to talk with representatives from campus departments. nn

Wolfpack Welcome Week

A warm welcoming

T

hanks to the Class of 1911, who banned freshman hazing, students need not worry about being harassed. Instead, new and returning students can look forward to Wolfpack Welcome Week. WWW begins with move-in as more than 6,500 students set up their space in 20 residence halls.

It ends with Service N.C. State, a two-day-long service event that includes a blood drive and meal packaging.

At events like Cates Crawl, students visit with leaders of student organizations and discuss how to get involved on campus. Officials from colleges provide new students with tips on how to be successful in their college classes. Students can get free food, play games and learn about student organizations.

Campus Recreation hosts RecFest, where students can explore the opportunities Campus Recreation has to offer students during the year.

One of the largest events of WWW is the Union Activities Board’s concert. The Welcome Week concert brings big-name artists to the University for students to enjoy at the end of their first week on campus. Past performers have included Cartel, Josh Gracin, Boyz II Men and Lifehouse. nn

Campus involvement

Find your place

W

ith more than 400 clubs, activities and groups, all students can find an organization to help them connect and to grow. Getting involved gives everyone an opportunity to meet new people, make a difference in the community, gain career experience and practice leadership skills.

There are political organizations focused on policies and parties. Arts organizations provide opportunities in dance, drama, music and photography. Academic organizations focus more on education and careers. Cultural and religious groups are represented, along with club sports, service organizations and Greek Life. There are also academic and honors fraternities offered for students with high academic achievements or certain areas of study.

Students who don’t find what they want in an existing club can create their own. nn

Voice of the students

F

ounded in 1921, Student Government acts as the official voice of Wolfpack students. Modeled after the federal government, Student Government has three branches. Each spring, students elect the top officers, including the student body president, the student senate president, the student body treasurer, the student chief justice and the senior class president. More information is available at students.ncsu.edu.

The Student Senate, the legislative branch, recommends policies and allocates roughly $160,000 in student fee money to student organizations. The Senate also plans events like the annual Campout and the College Cup. The executive branch, led by the student body president, is divided into commissions that represent student interests across a variety of topics. For example, the Traditions Commission helped create The Brick and in Fall 2010, the Athletics Commission founded the Coaches Corner outside Reynolds Coliseum with a bust of the late women’s basketball coach Kay Yow. The Judicial Board, led by the student chief justice, listens to cases involving student misconduct and academic integrity violations. nn

Hot off the press

E

very school day during the semester, and once a week during summer sessions, students can pick up a copy of the student-run newspaper, Technician, at locations around campus. First published in 1920, the newspaper keeps students up-to-date with local and campus news features, opinions and sports.

One of the most popular parts of the paper is the Police Blotter, found on Page 2, which quotes Campus Police reports.

In the past, on the first day of football and basketball seasons, the Technician published Red, a preview of the upcoming season. And on the day of the home basketball game against rival UNC-Chapel Hill, the Technician has published The Daily Tar Hell, a spoof edition of UNC’s paper The Daily Tar Heel.

Students can submit story ideas and letters to the editor by emailing editor@ technicianonline.com. nn

An official history

First published in 1903 and the oldest publication on campus, the Agromeck yearbook serves to provide a review of each school year from the student perspective. The name honors N.C. State’s origin as the North Carolina College of Agriculture (“Agro”) and Mechanic Arts (“meck”).

Since 2009, the Agromeck has won three Pacemaker awards and three Gold Crown awards — two of the highest honors bestowed to college publications.

Thanks to student fees, the Agromeck staff can give out 1,000 free copies to students pictured or quoted in the book or to graduating seniors.

oasting 48 Greek organizations, Greek Life gives students an opportunity to get involved on campus, meet other students and make memories. Social fraternities and sororities, as well as business fraternities and service fraternities, provide opportunities for about 2,200 students on campus.

The principles of service, scholarship, leadership and sisterhood or brotherhood guide all of the Greek organizations on campus.

Recruitment occurs in the fall with a rush process, either formal or informal. During rush, students get to visit the different fraternities and sororities to see which group fits them most.

• Campus leadership and involvement: About 72 percent of members belong to other student organizations on campus, many in leadership roles • Scholarship: 55 percent are above the all-student average • Service/philanthropy: Fraternity men and sorority women volunteered more than 64,000 hours in the University and surrounding community in 2009. In addition, chapters hosted 94 events to raise both awareness and money for charity. Donations exceeded $135,000. nn

very year during the fall semester, the Brickyard becomes home for one week to students participating in Habitat for Humanity’s Shack-A-Thon. Started in 1991 with only one shack, the event has grown to around 16 shacks.

Participants are responsible for building and staffing their shacks 24 hours a day for the entire week, with at least one student in the shack at all times. The event has become a competition to see which groups can build the most creative shacks and who can raise the most money, which goes toward building homes in the Raleigh area. Throughout the week, students panhandle, play games and sell food and crafts, all to get money in the name of their organizations. Collectively, the groups raise more than $25,000 each year. nn

he Free Expression Tunnel is one of four thoroughfares that allow students to pass under the railroad tracks that divide Central Campus from North Campus. Constructed in 1939 as a Public Works Administration service project, the tunnel was first painted in 1968, when it was painted red and white to celebrate the military veterans of North Carolina. In the 1960s, the University promoted it as a place for students to spray paint without interference in an effort to cut down on illegal graffiti around campus. Painting the tunnel evolved into a tradition where students, organizations and others can paint advertisements or just leave graffiti.

The tunnel was renovated during the 2005-2006 academic year to improve its accessibility and overall appearance. After the renovation, the Free Expression Tunnel project won the North Carolina Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects’ Award of Excellence. nn

Green crossroads

A

fter Holladay Hall’s construction in 1889, the University began to erect other buildings nearby, including Peele, Tompkins, Winston, Leazar and Page Halls and the 1911 Building. The buildings’ locations began to shape a green, pedestrian area that became known as the Court of North Carolina. The Court is rumored to contain a plant to represent each of the 100 counties in North Carolina, although it was never intended for such a purpose.

In 2004, renowned architect and former professor of architecture, Eduardo Catalano offered to build and maintain an open-air pavilion on the Court based on the hyperbolic parabloid roof he developed in 1954. Students protested the pavilion, and student senators said in the Catalano Pavilion Act of 2005, “No outdoor space on campus is more treasured by the student body than the Court of North Carolina.” As a result, the University chose not to build the pavilion, but instead saved the plans for potential construction on Centennial Campus.

Not only is the Court a major pedestrian crossroads, it is also a hub for student activities.

The Art to Wear fashion show was held on the Court in 2007 and 2008. During a big snow in 2009, Student Body President Jay Dawkins challenged the student body to a snowball fight on the Court. In 2004, 15,000 people rallied on the Courtfor democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and vice presidential candidate and alumnus John Edwards. nn

Place a Hillsborough Street memory here.

E

stablished in 1792, Hillsborough Street has been used by North Carolinians for more than 200 years. The street was part of Sen. William Christmas’ original design for the state capitol’s system of four roads — Hillsborough, Fayetteville, New Bern and Halifax ­­— that would radiate outward from the Capitol building north, south, east and west toward the cities for which they were named. Today, Hillsborough is the only street still functioning in its original design, but for N.C. State it’s much more than a thoroughfare.

Hillsborough Street is home to restaurants, bars and even a bowling alley.

Some of the more popular restaurants and bars include East Village Grill, Mitch’s and Players’ Retreat, where students celebrate after big wins (like the 1983 national championship).

Hillsborough Hikes are also a part of the college experience for those of legal drinking age. Hikes include the Haunted Hillsborough Hike on Halloween and others on the Friday of Dead Week to celebrate graduation. Participants try buying a drink from every bar before they all shut down at 2 a.m., starting at Players’ Retreat and ending at Pantana Bob’s. Campus Police also staff the event to make sure everyone is drinking responsibly.

Construction to make the road more pedestrian friendly was completed in 2010 through campus. The street now features slower traffic, smarter crosswalks and on-street parking. nn

Running for a dozen

F

our miles, 12 donuts, 2,400 calories and thousands of dollars for charity.

The Krispy Kreme Challenge was the brainchild of then-sophomore basketball guard Chris McCoy, who used this event to relieve pre-finals stress. The race: Run from the Bell Tower downhill two miles to the Krispy Kreme, scarf down a dozen glazed doughnuts and then dash back uphill to the tower — in less than 60 minutes. Ironically on the day of the race, in December 2004, McCoy overslept, but 10 of his friends — including Peyton Hassinger and Greg Mulholland, who became the lead organizers of the race in subsequent years — completed the inaugural race.

“Sports Illustrated: On Campus” picked up the race’s potential and featured it as No. 85 in “102 More Things You Gotta Do Before You Graduate.” And in 2010, ESPN covered the race in a video feature. The Challenge donated $100,000 to the North Carolina Children’s Hospital in 2011.

The winner receives a glimmering golden doughnut medal and an additional six dozen Krispy Kreme donuts, coming in at a colossal 14,400 calories. nn

In 2009, Campus Police department organizers added a 5K Polar Run. “My first impression of the event was that it was a little crazy to jump into a lake in winter just to raise money,” Officer Steve Carlton, one of the event’s organizers, said. “But when I saw how many people participated and how the University supported it, I thought it was a great effort. The festival atmosphere of the whole event makes for a great day all around. I was proud to become a part of it.”

The event is held each year in late February. Participants raised $45,000 in 2010. nn

Prowling wolves Wolfpack turf A pack of wolf statues sits outside the Wendell H. Murphy Center at Carter-Finley Stadium.

Designed by former football player and wildlife artist Dick Idol, the “Wolfpack Turf ” sculpture boasts six wolves, each 5 feet 6 inches, prowling atop a 21foot stone mountain. Installed in December 2002, the statues also have water, lighting and audio effects.

Wolf Plaza Prowling near the entrance to the Free Expression Tunnel are three wolves designed by San Diegobased sculptor Michael Stutz.

Installed in 2010, each statue weighs 1,200 pounds and stands about 5 feet tall. The sculptures were paid for by the 2000 bond referendum that allowed the University to address facilities and campus beautification. Students often climb upon the 1,200-pound, larger-than-life bronze wolves.

Wolf Ears The Wolf Ears are located on the grassy knoll in front of D.H. Hill Library. In 1988, Artist Douglas Hollis designed the “Listening Vessels” so two people can whisper with 40 feet between them. The structures, which look like bowls sitting on their sides, have seats that face each other. Sounds bounce off the curve of the disc-shapes and project toward the person in the opposite disc. The Wolf Ears can even pick up the sounds of people walking between them.

Students have also called them “Whisper Discs.”

hen Harrelson Hall was built in 1961, it made revolutionary strides in architecture as the first cylindrical classroom built on a college campus.

Harrelson and Poe Hall are the only two buildings on campus not built from brick.

The building was named for John William Harrelson, who was hired as dean of administration in 1934 (though the position was renamed chancellor in 1945) and who was the first graduate of N.C. State to lead the University. Harrelson Hall has a 206-foot diameter and provides an unusual focal point for the Brickyard.

In summer 2011, the Bookstore will relocate to the building, as will the offices for Student Government, the GLBT Center, the Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service and the Union Activities Board. Harrelson Hall is slated for demolition in 2014, once Talley Student Center renovations are complete. nn

.H. Hill, the main library on campus, was named after the school’s first English professor, Daniel Harvey Hill. Hill later became president of the college in 1908. Originally housed in the Main Building, now Holladay Hall, the library moved to Pullen Hall in 1903. By the 1920s, the collection reached more than 10,000 volumes, and the library moved to the newly built Brooks Hall. The library collection had outgrown its space by the 1950s and in 1953 moved to its present location, where it houses more than 4 million volumes.

New additions were added to D.H. Hill Library in 1954, 1972 and 1990.

At the main circulation desk, students can check out books, textbooks, movies, video games and a plethora of electronic devices. There are eight floors of bookstacks for individual studying as well as group rooms to reserve. The library also has its own coffee bar, Hill of Beans, and the Creamery, where Howling Cow ice cream is sold.

The library system, which includes four other libraries, also has an active set of resources, including thousands of journals, available online at library.ncsu.edu. nn

The Brickyard is covered with equipment, livestock and displays on everything from snakes to chickens. Various agricultural student groups, including the Poultry Science Club, the Food Science Club and Sigma Alpha sponsor lunch each day as well as events such as a cow milking contest.

According to Jessie Scott, a junior in agricultural education and member of Alpha Zeta, creating awareness of all aspects of farming and agriculture is important.

“We still have the need to feed and cloth everyone,” she said. And she said Ag Week serves to increase that awareness. “People learn something, and they walk away with a new perspective on things.”nn Samantha Thimsen, a freshman in architecture, and Ami Sueki, a freshman in industrial design, play with a crested gecko during Agriculture Awareness Week in the Brickyard March 21, 2011.

In 2002, students held the first Art to Wear in the Pit behind Kamphoefner Hall. The event grew and, for two years, was held in the Court of North Carolina. Today, Art to Wear sets up its catwalk each spring in Reynolds Coliseum. Art to Wear celebrated its 10th anniversary with its show April 12, 2011.

Entrants from any college create a few designs to present to a judging panel that then selects 12 designers to exhibit their work in Art to Wear. The designers select their own models and work throughout the year to perfect their lines. Clothes can be made out of anything, and they often are. From a dress made of peacock feathers to pants embellished with LED lights, the Art to Wear fashion show exhibits new and creative ways of making clothes. nn

etting out of Raleigh to study helps to further students’ educations, whether it’s for a week, a semester or a year.

The Study Abroad office serves all students by providing academically based international experiences that give them the skills to be active, informed and culturally sensitive citizens in the global community. During the 2010-2011 school year, 1,077 students participated in a study abroad program, according to a report from the Study Abroad office. Those students traveled to six continents and 52 countries throughout the year, most of which were N.C. State programs. Students also had the option of studying at other universities’ programs. Students could study abroad in any major and any country. Programs lasted anywhere from one month to one semester to one year.

Students can also travel for shorter amounts of time through the Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service’s Alternative Service Break program. From tutoring children on a Navajo Indian Reservation in New Mexico to addressing environmental issues in the Costa Rica rain forest, student team leaders travel with groups of eight to 18 students and a faculty adviser to perform service-related activities. Although the trips aren’t free, teams plan fund-raising activities and students can apply for scholarships. nn

n behalf of all of our coaches, staff and student athletes, I would like to congratulate you on becoming a member of the Wolfpack family.

A number of you have cheered for the Pack since you first learned to talk. A few of you have probably never seen an athletic event here at State. Our goal is that by the time you earn your degree, you are both a proud alum and a life-long fan.

N.C. State has a rich and storied athletic tradition, one that includes national championships in men’s basketball, cross country, track and field, swimming and diving, wrestling and golf.

We sponsor 23 men’s and women’s varsity sports at State and our ultimate goal is to compete for championships in each one. Our coaches and administrative staff work tirelessly to ensure our student-athletes are given every opportunity and resource to be successful on the field of competition and also in the classroom.

The Wolfpack has THE most passionate fan base in the country. As incoming students, you will play an important role in that group. The athletics department is continuously thinking of ways to improve the student experience at our events and to make sure that you have a number of the best seats in the house. Admission to all N.C. State athletic events is free to students in recognition of your student fee and all of our teams rely heavily on student support to cheer them to victory.

In the coming years, you will create memories that will last a lifetime. We hope many of those memories will revolve around your experiences as a Wolfpack fan. Your passionate support will help us reach our goals to win championships for our school. And we want you there to help us celebrate when we bring those trophies home.

Remember, Rudyard Kipling said, “The strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.”

Welcome, new Wolves, to the Pack. nn

Athletic history

The origin of red and white

T

he first clubs on campus, the Pullen and Leazar Literary societies, were formed in the fall of 1889 and named after benefactors Augustus Leazar and Richard Stanhope Pullen. These societies chose pink and blue as the official school colors of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts. The colors were changed to brown and white by a student body vote in 1895 and only used in one football game featuring the A&M Farmers versus the University of North Carolina. In November of 1895, another poll of the student body resulted in red and white as the school colors. The faculty agreed with this decision and told the athletic association these colors would remain unless changed by a two-thirds vote by the student body. No one has challenged the school colors since then. nn

words by alvin M. Fountain Music by Bonnie Norris

“Red and White” is a popular song sung by fans and played by the band at athletic events. It was written by J. Perry Watson, a former director of music. Although popular, it’s not the official fight song. “Caroline,” “Devils,” and “Deacs” refer to other Tobacco Road team names: the North Carolina Tar Heels, the Duke Blue Devils and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.

Hardy Ray, Class of 1926, wrote the words and Edmund L. Gruber, wrote the music to the Fight Song in 1908. It is a version of “The Caisson Song,” or more recently, “The Army Goes Rolling Along.”

N.C. State’s Alma Mater was written by two students in the early 1920s. Alvin M. Fountain, Class of 1922 and editor of the Technician, wrote the words, while Bonnie Norris from the Class of 1923, composed the music.

“Shout aloud to the men, Who will play the game to win.

We’re behind you, Keep fighting for State.

Hold that line, Hold them fast, We will reach vict’ry at last.

We’re behind you Keep fighting for State.

Rise up to the fray, And let your colors wave, Shout out for dear old N.C. State (Go State!)

For where e’er we go, We will let the whole world know, We’re behind you Keep fighting for State.”

1950s — Cheerleaders begin to dress up as wolves.

1975 — The future Ms. Wuf was unveiled to coincide with the introduction of women’s athletics. The wolf mascots were married on the basketball court in 1981 as part of the season finale festivities.

Wake Forest University’s mascot, the Demon Deacon, presided over the faux ceremony.

1983 — Scott Joseph, the man behind the mask from 1981 to 1984, was instrumental in helping the Wolfpack mascot “evolve.” He was also the one who coined the title “ Mr. Wuf.” In an interview with The Wolfpacker, Joseph said he and his mother came up with the now-famous name.

“The only thing that was provided was the head, the rest you had to come up with on your own,” Joseph said. “My mom sewed a suit out of fur and gave me a jersey. So we sat down and decided to call him ‘Mr. Wuf ’ and she sewed that on my jersey.”

2009 — Different costumes have been phased in and out over the last couple decades, as Mr. and Ms. Wufs’ heads have become less elongated and coyoteesque and more humanized and kid-friendly.

A new mascot 2010-2011 — Tuffy, the live mascot, was introduced during the 2010-2011 football season as a revival of State’s history of living mascots.

When Tuffy, a Tamaskan dog, isn’t prowling the sidelines of Wolfpack football games at Carter-Finley Stadium, he is cared for by a family in Salisbury, N.C. The Tamaskan dog originates from Finland, known to excel in agility and obedience. The Tamaskan is also capable of pulling sleds, inherited from its Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute ancestors.

I

n addition to the 23 varsity sports there are 52 different club sports on campus, ranging from popular sports like soccer, basketball, hockey and gymnastics to more unusual sports like aikido, badminton, ballroom dance, cricket and rowing. Part of Campus Recreation, club sports are all registered student organizations responsible for their own expenses. The clubs compete against other universities in games or matches, tournaments and championships.

Intramural sports include basketball, bowling, racquetball, softball, badminton and 4-on-4 flag football, with eight intramural leagues and special events for players of all skill levels. Leagues are divided into different divisions of fraternities, sororities, residences, males, females and corecreations. Visit www.ncsu.edu/campus_rec for more information. nn

Tailgating

Parking lot comes alive

T

ailgating before a football game is one of the most exciting traditions on any college campus. Since Carter-Finley Stadium opened in 1966, red-andwhite clad fans have crowded among rows of cars lining the parking lot. Students and alumni play cornhole, slow cook whole hogs and mentally prepare for the game. A variety of clubs and organizations even provide free food or giveaways at tailgates.

Tailgating opens five hours before the start of the game. The Wolfline bus system, “Red Terror Transit,” shuttles students to and from campus. nn

My favorite place to tailgate is ________________________________________

WE Recycle “Wolfpack Excellence” is promoted through the program WE Recycle, a partnership between Waste Industries and the University Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling.

Fans can take their cans and bottles from tailgating to WE Recycle zones throughout the tailgating areas. A WE Recycle collection wagon also makes its way around the parking lots.

The program collects an average of four tons of recyclables per home football game. In 2009, WE Recycle collected 53,900 pounds of recyclable material. Since the program began in 2003 under the name Chuck It, for former coach Chuck Amato, the program has collected 255,040 pounds of material. ncsu.edu/facilities/recycling/

fter numerous attempts by students from UNC-Chapel Hill to deface the Free Expression Tunnel by painting it Carolina blue, the senior class of 2005 had enough. They started a protection effort that evolved into the Ram Roast pep rally.

Held each year before the Carolina-State home basketball and football games, the Ram Roast is an all-night event.

The pep rally includes appearances from the coaches, players, band, cheerleaders and other student groups. After the pep rally, students participate in scavenger hunts, eat free food and paint the tunnel red. Throughout the night, students make sure no vandals try to paint over the Free Expression Tunnel and Student Government awards tickets to those who guard the tunnel. nn

Spreading the love

T

hough the football, basketball, and women’s basketball teams draw the most media attention, N.C. State also has 20 other varsity sports and more than 600 athletes who compete in NCAA Division I athletics events — and some even bring home big titles. The cheerleading and rifle teams are both single sports.

In 2008, the baseball team hosted its first NCAA Regional Championship and ended their season just one game away from the College World Series. The gymnastics team has also sent individuals to the NCAA Championships in four consecutive seasons, and the men’s and women’s cross country teams have combined for 36 conference championships.

Tickets to non-revenue sports are free for students. To get admission to a game, students only need to show up to the on-campus venue and show their student ID card. nn

THE ACC

As part of the Atlantic Coast Conference college athletic league, founded in 1953, the Wolfpack gets to compete against 11 other schools on the East Coast. The ACC is considered one of six “power conferences” and the ACC football champion receives an automatic bid to one of the Bowl Championship series each season.

ince not all athletic events are at home, all 23 varsity teams must travel near and far to compete. From a football game at East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C. to the women’s basketball Beach Classic in Long Beach, Calif., there are usually student tickets available for away games. All sports’ schedules are available online at gopack.com.

Tickets for championship and bowl games are also usually available for students, though transportation is not typically provided. However, when the football team played at the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, Fla. in 2010, Student Government funded two buses for students to get to the game.

Around 2,500 students participate in the Student Wolfpack Club, which provides tickets to games for loyal students for a $30 annual fee, including away games. nn

Homecoming

Celebrating tradition

R

un by the Alumni Association Student Ambassadors Program, Homecoming Week is one of the largest student-run celebrations. At the beginning of the week, students can get free T-shirts at the Homecoming Kickoff.

Throughout the week, students can participate in events, like the Spirit Competition, in which student groups compete in events like banner design, window-painting and float decorating to earn points toward winning the Thomas H. Stafford Spirit Bell, awarded since 2002 to the overall winner of the competition.

Students can receive free lunches at Wear Red, Get Fed in the Brickyard by wearing red garb, as well as attend student groups’ bake sales and a canned food drive.

On Friday night, students can attend the Pack Howl pep rally and concert. The Pack Howl has previously featured Augustana, Common, N.E.R.D., Guster and the Avett Brothers.

The week culminates in the Homecoming football game, where alumni return to cheer on the Pack. nn

The Brick

n the 1930s, David Clark planted the seed for what would eventually become one of N.C. State’s most historic buildings, Reynolds Coliseum. Clark suggested the college build a 10,000-seat arena that would not only serve athletics, but provide a meeting spot for farmers and an armory for State’s ROTC program — and rival any building of its kind in the nation. With the support of the Consolidated University of North Carolina, Clark began his quest. The design was taken from Duke University’s coliseum, but officials asked the architect to add 26 feet to the building so it would be bigger.

With an estimated cost of $300,000, Clark went searching for funding for the coliseum. He found that funding from the niece of tobacco businessman William Neal Reynolds, Mary Reynolds Babcock. Combining her gift of $100,000 with $100,000 from the state budget and $99,999 from the Works Progress Administration, the wheels began to turn. Construction began in 1940 but soon came to a halt because of World War II, and the metal shell sat idle for almost a decade.

In 1948, construction resumed under the encouragement of coach Everett Case. The building was completed by 1949. The buildings doors were rumored to be big enough for elephants and underneath the floor sits an ice skating rink. On Dec. 2, 1949, N.C. State defeated Washington and Lee in the first game of the “Ol’ Barn.”

Since that day in 1949, William Neal Reynolds Coliseum has seen some of N.C. State’s most memorable events. It was the home to two NCAA basketball championship teams in the 19731974 and 1982-1983 seasons. The Dixie Classic, a historic basketball tournament that included the Big Four, was held in Reynolds every year. In addition to basketball games, the $2.3 million building has hosted musical concerts and public lectures from celebrities like architect Frank Lloyd Wright and presidents John F. Kennedy, Andrew Johnson, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Thousands of students received their degrees in Reynolds.

Today, the Coliseum is home to the women’s basketball, volleyball, gymnastics and wrestling teams, as well as the offices of all ROTC programs. nn

efore the lottery ticket system debuted, students had to wait in line for their basketball and football tickets. During basketball season, students would pitch tents in front of Reynolds Coliseum to ensure they got a ticket for men’s basketball games. Today, students relive history and camp out for the game against UNC-Chapel Hill.

About a week before the big game, students gather with their friends to brave the elements in hopes of receiving a coveted ticket. Organizers from the Union Activities Board and other campus organizations have added lots of elements of fun to get students’ minds off the frigid temperatures, such as games on the floor of Reynolds Coliseum, an event that debuted in 2011. There are also movie showings, free hot chocolate, a charity basketball tournament and impromptu Wolfpack cheers. There are combinations of scheduled and random check-ins throughout the night to ensure students who want tickets are actually participating in the Campout. The event ends around 8 a.m., when students clean up their campsites. nn

Fighting the fight

K

ay Yow, the late head coach of the women’s basketball team for 34 seasons, died in 2009 of breast cancer and drew national attention to the University for her perseverance throughout her battle with the disease.

Since 2005, the Women’s Center and the women’s basketball team have teamed up for Hoops for Hope, an event that raises awareness and funds for breast cancer research. Held in Reynolds Coliseum, the basketball team sports the colors pink and white for the game.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. Students (who still get in free) are advised to arrive early before seats run out. The Hoops for Hope event includes a silent auction and a halftime ceremony for survivors.

Other Wolfpack teams have started pink games as well, including the softball team’s “Power in Pink” game and the volleyball team’s “Dig Pink” game. For three years the football team has hosted its Kay Yow Spring Game in April. nn

why “The Brick”

The inspiration

T

he brick is one of the most recognizable aspects of N.C. State and literally the foundation of the University. At the first Board of Trustees meeting in 1887, the board requested 1.5 million bricks and a labor supply from the director of the State Penitentiary. Now, there are more than 4,270,000 bricks on campus as part of the sidewalks and all but a few of the buildings.

As freshmen, students in a 2007 First Year College/Early American History Linked Class (HI251 / USC101A), taught by Nancy Gustke and Matthew Rust, found themselves unaware of the history, traditions and possibilities at N.C. State. After learning about the University through New Student Orientation, Convocation, advisers and fellow students, they decided to share their knowledge with incoming freshmen. The Brick was designed to guide new students through the history and landmarks of the campus, engaging them in academics and encouraging participation in timeless traditions.

The first edition consisted of 3,000 copies. Of them, 2,000 copies were funded through state funds and distributed to incoming freshmen at Convocation. University Housing, University Dining and the NCSU Bookstores helped to fund a second printing of 4,000 copies in August 2008.

The second edition consisted of 5,000 copies. It was printed in Fall 2010 and distributed to freshman classes. It was funded through the support of advertisers and student fee allocations.

No State funds were used in the printing of the book. Bryant Robbins, a junior in finance, was the editor.

For incoming students, this book is a guide for their first year on the largest university campus in the state. By exploring The Brick and parts of campus all students should feel connected and come to understand that N.C. State really is “Everything you can imagine.” nn

ur love for N.C. State and the desire to share this love with others inspired our work on The Brick, part of a campus-wide effort to increase knowledge of the history of the University. We admire the rich history and traditions of the University and think it is important to keep them alive. We hope you make the most of your experience on campus using information found in this book. Go Pack!

Susannah Brinkley upheld the Wolfpack legacy when she became the fifth person in three generations of her family to attend N.C. State. She joined Student Media her freshman year and was the editor of the Agromeck yearbook in 2011. Though she graduated in May 2011 with a degree in graphic design, her favorite traditions are attending Art to Wear and First Friday.

Sam Dennis is the co-chair of the Traditions Commission in the Student Government Executive Branch. A senior in biological sciences, he is also president of the Alumni Association Student Ambassador Program. Sam enjoys learning about the history of N.C. State. Every N.C. State tradition is his favorite tradition.

Chandler Thompson grew up a huge Wolfpack fan and followed in her father’s footsteps to attend N.C. State. Chandler has worked on The Brick for two years and is the 2011-2012 student body president. Her favorite tradition is a combination of wearing red, game days at CarterFinley and cheering for the Wolfpack with the wolf hand sign.

Andy Walsh joined Student Government as a senator his freshman year. Majoring in political science, he planned the 2011 Campout and is now co-chair of the Student Government Traditions Commission. Though he loves Tuffy the Tamaskan, his favorite traditions are Campout and attending football games.
