00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.213
Dr. Friday was right in the middle of that, and he talked with me.

2
00:00:05.213 --> 00:00:13.778
We did not want to be the University of North Carolina at Raleigh.

3
00:00:13.778 --> 00:00:24.532
The University of North Carolina, I have to say, was a bad connotation to NC State.

4
00:00:24.532 --> 00:00:29.538
We didn't want to be the University of North Carolina at anything.

5
00:00:29.538 --> 00:00:40.095
As I recall the student council had a lot to do with that, and a lot of people [were] involved much more than me,

6
00:00:40.095 --> 00:00:47.837
but we were pretty united that we didn't want to be called the University of North Carolina at Raleigh

7
00:00:47.837 --> 00:00:55.774
because there was a University of North Carolina somewhere else that had already been known as the University of North Carolina. [Laughs]

8
00:00:55.774 --> 00:01:04.376
So we became North Carolina State University, of the University of North Carolina at Raleigh,

9
00:01:04.376 --> 00:01:10.498
and we thought, well, that's better than being the University of North Carolina at Raleigh. [Laughs]

10
00:01:10.498 --> 00:01:22.522
But I remember there were a lot of people active in student government and there were some strong feelings about that.
