Collection is open for research; access requires at least 48 hours advance notice. Because of the nature of certain archival formats, including digital and audio-visual materials, access will require additional advanced notice. Unless noted, digital media are not available online. Copies of unrestricted digital files will be provided for use in the SCRC Reading Room upon request. Access will be provided to use copies of unrestricted digital files rather than carrier media, such as CDs, DVDs, and floppy disks. Some or all electronic files may be unavailable or restricted due to privacy reasons, agreement with the donor, software is not available to interact with files, or because files cannot be retrieved from original media.
The State Sentinel Newspaper Collection contains bound volumes of the newspaper which ran from August of 1973 to August of 1974. This collection is comprised of volume 1 numbers 1- 55; Summer Edition numbers 1-3; and volume 2 number 1, the final issue. The newspaper reported NC State news including athletics (particularly football and basketball), student government, campus and local events, and school policies. The State Sentinel offered some different content from the Technician in its more extensive coverage of local politics. There are many articles and editorials on this topic.
Ralph James Irace, Jr. was the editor of the State Sentinel. In the first issue, he describes the paper as "of, by, and for the students of N.C. State University." It was funded entirely by advertising, not student fees, to present other viewpoints and opinions to those being represented in the Technician student paper. It was published Tuesdays and Thursdays and owned by the State Sentinel Corporation, chartered as a non-profit student organization. The State Sentinel halted publication in August of 1974 due to financial duress. In April of that year, the Student Media Authority rejected a proposal for them to take over the publication (and its debts).
