Talleying the Vote

By D’Lyn Ford

Here’s an NC State history pop quiz: What does the Talley Student Center have in common with Nike shoes and the original Pong game? Answer: They all made their debut in 1972.

Back then, 14,000 students roamed the campus, mostly in bellbottoms. They hung out downstairs in Talley's TV lounge, which had furniture in the signature ‘70s shades of avocado and orange.

A modern-day milestone for the building comes Monday, when students vote on whether to accept a fee to pay for a $120 million renovation and expansion of the student center. The outcome could influence NC State far beyond the hub of central campus.
