Task Force report deadline extendedChancellor wants more student input before draft is finalized

Ty JohnsonDeputy Sports Editor

Chancellor James Oblinger has chosen to extend the re-view process of the Campus Culture Task Force com-mittee’s preliminary report by two weeks in an effort to garner more opinions on the groups recommendations to the University. The report addresses the future of poli-cies and practices concerning Brickyard a n d F r e e Expression Tunnel use, among other issues.

Oblinger said he ap-proved the extension to allow more students the opportunity to reflect and respond to the proposed recommendations.

“It’s important that we give the campus oppor-tunity to review the task force’s recommendations,” Oblinger said. “Giving every-one ample time to comment gives us the best chance of moving forward together.”

The deadline, originally Feb. 2, is now set for Feb. 16. The Task Force will reconvene after the comment period and make formal recommenda-tions to the Chancellor. A for-mal report is scheduled to be issued Feb. 27.

The Task Force was created in the aftermath of the events of Nov. 5, 2008 when four stu-dents wrote derogatory and threatening messages in the Free Expression Tunnel in

response to the results of the election.

Richard Pridgen, a junior in paper science and engineering, was content with the Chancel-lor’s extension, though he agreed some students may be concerned that the Task Force is dragging its feet.

“[The Free Expression Incident was] a sensitive issue that should be addressed quickly,” Pridgen said. “But if students don’t agree with the recommendations, then the diversity awareness pro-grams won’t be respected and won’t serve their purpose.”

Tiffany Key, a senior in history and agr icu l-ture education, agreed, citing the proposal of creating a man-datory Free Ex-pression Tunnel seminar as part of new student orientation as one of her rea-sons to con-tinue discus-

sion on the preliminary draft. “I think it is a good idea to get more student input before it is made a mandatory part of the curriculum,” Key said .”While the class may be a good idea, it is a big decision that needs to be fully thought through.”

Pridgen said he liked many of the recommendations, but also expressed concern over the pro-posed diversity training.

“I feel that mandatory diversi-ty/civil discourse training will be ineffective,” Pridgen said. “Most students would just be annoyed that they have to complete yet another online course.”

Students are encouraged to comment on the proposals list-ed in the draft, which is avail-able online and can be accessed through the University’s homep-age.

DAVID MABE/TECHNICIANIn Stewart Theater, General Hugh Shelton speaks about the challenges in the transition of power between presidential administrations. General Shelton served as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Sta! from 1997 to 2001.

More than 3,400 registered as of Monday night

Derek MedlinManaging Editor

The 2009 Krispy Kreme Chal-lenge, an annual event designed

by students to help benefit the North Carolina Children’s Hos-pital, has now eclipsed the regis-tration total from 2008.

As of Monday night, the event had more than 3,400 registrants. Students who wish to register online have until Friday morn-ing at 9:30 a.m. Paper registra-tion will be available Friday night and Saturday morning

before the race. Carrie McMillan, a senior

in history and one of the race organizers, said the extended registration deadline should give more people an opportu-nity to race.

“We’ve extended the deadline to register,” she said. “People can register the day of, but we’re encouraging people to register

online. Most people know they are going to run it, but if people make last minute decisions we can accommodate them.”

In its fifth year, the Krispy Kreme Challenge has grown in popularity exponentially since its inception in 2004.

The tradition, which began as a bet between undergradu-ate students, has grown into

an event which has now raised more than $30,000 for the North Carolina Children’s Hospital.

McMillan said representatives from the hospital will be at the event.

“There will be representatives from the hospital participating in the event,” she said. “Once the race is over, we will present them a big check.”

Saturday’s edition, based on the number of registrants to this point, will be the biggest in the event’s history.

McMillan said organizers are aiming for 5,000 registrants.

McMillan also said the prob-lems with the economy have not

Shelton speaks on militaryTours of Duty

WHO IS IN CHARGE?“The military fully recog-

nizes that they are subordi-nate to civilian leadership,” Shelton said.

Shelton praised the ROTC calling it “dynamite.”

“The leaders are great role models for those in the pro-gram,” he said.

Shelton said whether those in ROTC decide to pursue ac-tive duty or civilian life, the training the cadets recieve

will be with them for the rest of

their life.CENTENNIAL CAMPUS ADVANTAGES

He said he thinks the idea of Centennial Campus showed great foresight.

Shelton said there are already bonds between some of the com-panies on Cenntenial Campus and the military.

“The bonds between corporate companies and the military will lead to even greater things in the future,” he said.KEY CHALLENGES

In his speech, Shelton said the

smooth transition of power is one of the greatest things about the nation.

“We haven’t had the events common in many parts of the world such as coups and revo-lutions,” he said.

Shelton said President Barack Obama faces multiple challenges.

According to Shelton, some of the challenges are sticking to his campaign promise of withdrawing from Iraq, dealing with allies that are more of a liability than an asset, and dealings with Af-ghanistan, Iran, North Korea, South America, Pakistan, Af-rica, Russia and China.

He said China needs to be a concern for the U.S.

“They are phsyically fit and well trained, but they have older equipment,” Shelton said.

He continued to say those

In an interview after his speech Monday in Stewart Theatre, Retired U.S. Army Gen. H. Hugh Shelton said N.C. State “reinforced what value-based leadership is all about.”

On hand for the speech were 600 attendees — members of the Army ROTC, members of University Scholars, staff, students and citizens.

Shelton’s speech was titled, “Military Leader-ship During a Time of Dramatic Change.”

WORLD & NATIONRaleigh groundhog predicts more winter weather

Groundhog Sir Walter Wally, the Tri-angle’s official groundhog, predicted six more weeks of winter after see-ing his shadow at the state Museum of Natural Sciences just after noon Monday.

This year’s forecasting Sir Walter is a different groundhog from the one

who has made the prediction in recent years. The previous Sir Wal-ter retired to the North Carolina mountains. The new groundhog, whose actual name is Mortimer, was born in captivity in June 2008, and has been trained for educa-tional purposes.

According to legend, if a groundhog sees his shadow after emerging from hibernation on Feb. 2 each year, there will be six more weeks of winter. If he does not see a shadow, there will be an early spring.

Sir Walter Wally has been cor-rect six times in the 11 years he has been making predictions.

“China want us out of the pacific and they are pouring money into offensive weap-ons such as missles to take out U.S. Navy ships that come too close,” Shelton warned.

The general said Russia still considers itself as a superpower capable of taking on the U.S.

Shelton blamed the policy following the fall of the Berlin Wall as the cause of Russian distrust of America.

“The U.S. didn’t reach out the way we should have. If they ever get their economy together, they will be a competetor,” he said.THE IRAQ WAR

Shelton told the audience that U.S. forces need to be completly out of Iraq.

The way to do that, he said,

is to set milestones for the gov-ernment.

Shelton said the way that works is for when the Iraqi government gets to a point, the U.S. does its set plan.

He also said Gen. Patreaus is the right man to do that.

“Patreaus was my former exec-tutive, he knows how to do whats needed,” Shelton said.

He said that the U.S. does need to fix the problem in Iraq because “We broke it so we need to fix it.”THE OBAMA ADMINISTATION

Shelton expressed his confi-dence in Obama.

“He has put a great team to-gether,” he said.

Shelton also said “the buck stops with [Obama].”

He said he fully supports Obama’s descision to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay.

He said what goes on there is an afront to American policy.

“That is not the way America does business,” Shelton said.

hurt the race to this point. “We were concerned that businesses

would be sort of tight, but we’ve had re-ally generous sponsors,” she said.

Drew White, a senior in biomedical engineering, said he is part of a group planning to dress up as doughnuts for the race on Saturday.

“We’re going to have 12 guys dress up as doughnuts and spell out Sportscenter on our chests,” he said. “Hopefully we can find little kiddy intertubes around our waist as doughnuts so they won’t fall off.”

White said the group is attempting to get on ESPN, who is covering the race live.

Rachael Huston, a senior in graphic design and race organizer, said several media outlets are planning to attend.

“We don’t have specifics, but we know ESPN will be out there,” she said. “Also, 99.9 The Fan will have exclusive radio coverage.”

Garrett Warren,a freshman in bio-medical engineering, said he’s not wor-ried about the distance of the challenge as much as eating the doughnuts and keeping them down.

“I did a lot of 5K’s in high school, but I’ve never eaten doughnuts in a massive amount,” he said. “It will be interesting. I hope they stay down.”

White said it doesn’t matter to him if

he can’t keep the doughnuts down for the whole race.

“There might be some throwing up involved, but that’s expected,” he said. “If people aren’t throwing up, they aren’t doing it right.”

Those students registered for this year’s event are en-couraged to show up early Saturday. Check-in begins at 6 a.m. Saturday morning and the race is scheduled to begin about 9:30.

Any student not registered can pick one of three categories to register in. Both the challenger division and the ca-sual division cost $16. Those registrants receive a race-day T-shirt and partici-pate in the run. The supporter category, which costs $10, is for those wanting to support the cause but not run.

All proceeds go to the North Carolina Children’s Hospital.

Another new edition in this year’s race will be the use of chips designed to im-prove timing.

McMillan said the chips will keep track of times and provide runners split times so they know how long it took them to complete each leg of the race.

“When you cross the starting line, the chip kicks in,” she said. “We’ll also be

able to track split times with this new system. Following the race, we will post all the times on our Web site.”

Warren said he hopes to finish the race in less than an hour.

“I have to finish, no question,” he said. “I’m hoping maybe 40 or 45 minutes. The doughnuts will make a big differ-ence.”

Because of the large crowd expected, some students have expressed concern about parking availability. Race orga-nizers recommend the Reynolds Coli-seum Deck on central campus.

When the election ended on the night of Nov. 4, students celebrated

Barack Obama’s victory from the Brickyard to the Players’ Retreat

to the streets of downtown Raleigh. How-ever, one State alumnus, Matt Huffman, had another idea.

He went for a long bike ride.

“I just felt like I needed

some time to absorb such a his-toric moment for our nation,” he said recently. On that ride, he struggled for ways to harness the energy and momentum from the election into something that would last longer than the typi-cal election season.

One idea took hold: a long bike journey from Raleigh to Wash-ington, D.C. for the inaugura-tion. Huffman started planning the arduous route through the rural towns of North Carolina to the lowlands of Virginia. He decided on a four-day, 300-mile trek that would give them places to stay in South Hill, Midlothian and Fredericksburg, Va. on their way to the district.

As he told people about his plan, several more expressed in-terest in joining. Darryl Jones, an NCSU alumnus in landscape architecture, and Matt Watts, a junior in food science, decided to come along as well.

The group decided to raise money for their ride through sponsorships for the Interna-tional Rescue Committee, a food-and-medicine charity that assists developing countries worldwide.

In addition to the crew of rid-ers, a group of volunteers gave of their time as well. Scott Heath, a senior in engineering and Cory Livengood, an alumnus in Film Studies, decided to document the ride while driving a support car along the route. Andi Shelton, a local Raleigh woman, offered to help out with fund-raising.

As the group prepared to leave early in the morning Jan. 15, family and friends weren’t the only ones who’d heard about the ride. Several news outlets arrived to cover their departure as the group rode north out of town.

By the time the group got into

the middle of its ride, word had spread even further. CNN called to set up an in-terview with the three riders and Dateline NBC expressed interested in getting some footage for their show before the inauguration.

On the morning of Jan. 18, having left Fredericksburg before dawn, the group rode up the icy Potomac River to the Lincoln Memorial for the concert that would kick off the inauguration festivities. “We were much faster on our last day,” Huffman said, “But there’s nothing like the thought of U2, Bruce Spring-steen and Stevie Wonder per-forming to get you pedaling faster.”

The magic of a concert on the steps of the Lincoln Me-morial though, was noth-ing compared to the sheer drama of being present near the steps of the Capitol for the inauguration. The three riders reported what every-one else had already told: a monumental mass of people all awaiting the chance to see the nation accept the first Af-rican-American president. “A spectacular day for our nation became that much more real to us because of the sacrifice we had made to be there,” Huffman said.

“When we began, I don’t think we’d realized just what a chord this had struck with people, but there was such a good response to our fund-raising, to our aims and to our ride,” Huffman said.

In a way, everyone involved with the ride traced it back to what they learned while at N.C. State. “The idea of be-ing able to work hard, to plan something so special and see it come to fruition just re-minded me of what it meant to be a part of N.C. State’s family,” Huffman said.

These riders found some-thing valuable. They found that sacrifice is never easy. But importantly, they found that when you’re trying to change the paradigm of transporta-tion, that change can only begin with us.

The Student Senate passed a bill concerning elections for Student Government

elections Wednesday. One of the most controversial

part of the bill was raising the spending limit of the Student Body President to $750, almost twice as much as the previous $450 limit.

Though it is reasonable to ask for a raise in the spending limit since it hasn’t been changed since 1999, raising the candidates limit two and half times last year’s is absurd.

Running for a position in Stu-dent Government shouldn’t be about how much money your parents and your friends are will-ing to dole out.

The election in itself is a big enough competition without

money coming into play, and students shouldn’t have to worry about spending more or less than another candidate.

We encourage Student Body President Jay Dawkins to veto the bill so the Student Senate will write a new one raising the spending limit to a figure that is more reasonable.

The bill should include strict-er limitations without pushing spending limits through the roof.

Also, in the last election, the candidates were the ones deter-mining how much donations were worth.

This presents a loophole for the candidates to price their dona-tions lower than they are really

worth. We ask Student Government

to check expense reports fre-quently throughout the election, since last year’s expense reports were turned in after the elections were completed, according to Dawkins.

We ask students to let their senators know their opinions on the spending limitations so they know what to advocate.

The Student Government sec-retary is responsible for posting legislation on its Web site, but has not posted the new sections of this bill.

Student Government should post not only this bill, but all pieces of legislation Student Gov-

ernment is considering online and keep it updated frequently.

How is the student body sup-posed to voice their concerns if they do not have a way to access the bill?

The changes we are asking for are in the details of the bill, not the core.

The spending limit of $750 for a student body president candidate is much more than it should be. We also ask that prices for dona-tions be looked at more carefully in the future.

With the economy tanking and elections coming up, the last thing any aspiring Student Government candidate needs to worry about is whether or not he or she will be able to afford to run in the first place.

The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board, excluding the news department,

and is the responsibility of the editor-in-chief. THE ISSUE:Student Senate passed a bill that would raise campaign spending limits significantly.

OUR OPINION:The student body president should veto the bill because spending limits are too high.

THE SOLUTION:Student Government must create a new bill with lower spending limits than in the previous bill and watch donations carefully, as well as enforce limits.

Construction too distractingI have been in the west wing of

D.H. Hill Library during the past week studying for the exams our professors scheduled all at the same time. I come to the library to get away from the noise at home and to have a quiet place to seriously study or meet with study groups.

Last week I was with my organic chemistry study group. As usual we went to the west wing because all of the group study rooms in the learning commons and in the tower were full. This loud noise came blaring through the room and we couldn’t hear each other. It didn’t stop and continued for what seemed like forever. We eventually gave up and had to leave early.

It was a saw and other tools used in the construction of something in the west wing (a lounge, maybe). I’ve asked other students what they think the structure is and no one seems to know. I said something to the library staff, but they couldn’t do anything about the noise. I am thrilled that they are working to better our library, but I don’t understand why they don’t do it at a time when there is the fewest students studying in the library, such as the hours between midnight and 8 am. Is there not something that can be done so that the work can get done with a minimal disturbance to those who still need to utilize the library?

Separate Carolina fans from idiotsDear students, faculty, alumni and

friends of NCSU,I was called to attention by a friend of

mine of the act a random Carolina “fan” made of the memorial of Kay Yow. I, for one, am utterly appalled that such a low and immoral act would be committed.

This person has shamed the entire University by his or her atrocious act of self-gratification. Except for the few of those complete and utter imbeciles who committed that completely

disgusting act, we here at UNC do not extend any form of rivalry towards what happens off the court.

I have always been a fan and supporter of coach Yow, as my father attended NCSU during her first years of coaching. The loss of her has greatly saddened me, as well as the Tar Heel Nation (with the exception of those aforementioned). In addition, we remember your support and caring nature at our loss of Eve Carson almost a year ago and utter our complete thanks to you for your aid during that difficult and emotional time. Therefore, please do not attribute this act of complete atrocity to our entire university.

[Editor’s note: The 250-word limit on this forum letter has been waived.]Go to Hell, RBC Center Policy

This past Saturday during the NCSU UNC-Chapel Hill Basketball game at the RBC Center, 11 of my friends and I painted up full body to spell out “REMEMBER YOW” on the front of our bodies. However, on the back of our bodies we painted up to say “GO TO HELL UNC!” A pretty normal thing to say seeing as it is in our fight song, and it said at least 20-30 times a day by the average N.C. State student.

Once we were aligned and had

everything correct, which was no small feat, we had a difficult time getting in place. Although I had a group of 48 for the campout, my seats were spread all over section 111. A minor inconvenience I can complain about later. Students helped us out by shifting around so we could be grouped together only to be totally shut down by the RBC Center staff. According to RBC Center Policy you are not allowed to spell out “GO TO HELL” in the RBC Center. Naturally I thought the staff was joking… right?

We painted up the exact same thing at last years game and it was shown on the Jumbo-Tron. I was informed to either rearrange my letters or to get out. Now she was really yanking my chain… right?

Wrong. We had to rearrange our bodies and destroy a lot of hard work and coordination all because of some silly RBC Center policy. A policy which does not stop you from holding up a sign that says “Roy watches 2 girls 1 cup” or “UNC Packs the Back,” both of which are excellent and most likely true sayings, I might add. Heck I even saw a sign held up from the Student Wolfpack Club that said “GO TO HELL CAROLINA.” I’m sure they were reprimanded as well if the RBC Center enforces their policies across the board.

My point is very simple. We need to get this ridiculous policy changed so the epic tradition of painting to tell Carolina exactly where they belong can continue.

As an arts writer, it’s an un-spoken rule that you must fa-miliarize yourself with every medium, every style that you can get your hot little hands on.

However, you can open as many art history books, rent as many DVDs and download as much music as you like, but the difference between those arts and dance is that you can’t take dance home with you. Yes, no two concerts are alike and I prefer to see films and artwork in their theaters and galleries, respectively. But you can’t really record and get the sense of dance. I don’t know, it just sort of hap-pening in a certain place and time, like a kind of art magic.

Enter Brian Brooks Moving Company, coming to the Uni-versity’s own Stewart Theater Friday at 8 p.m.

“Technically we’re con-temporary dance company that tours internationally,” Brian Brooks said. “I was very particular about calling the company the ‘Moving Company’…as my approach and interest in performance and dance is through a lens of movement. The focus isn’t strictly on technique and his-tory, my interest lies in [things like] gymnastic sports… par-kour is heavy influence; a lot of athleticism.”

It’s the mark of a creative genius who reaches outside his medium so far and, yet so

successfully pulls it all back into creating a cohesive performance. At the very least he has a talent for multi-tasking, which was proven by his ability to answer the deceptively simple question “what’s your job title?”

He laughs, “Well I’m, hmm, artistic director, choreographer, performer, dancer, rehearsal coach, company manager, de-signer, editor and…I’ll prob-ably remember some more,” said Brooks.

Instead of letting the work overload him, Brooks’ smile is evident over the phone, because this is, quite clearly, what he loves.

When asked about the origins of his work, he started, “Depends on how you look at it. I was born in 1974 and I do believe a lot of things started then. I’ve been producing work under the name Brain Brooks Moving Co. in New York for 10 years,” Brooks said.

Speaking of history, Brooks’ mentor and a source of inspira-tion, Elizabeth Streb, a pioneer in modern dance going on decades, was notorious for making her dancers fly through plate glass windows at high speeds during performances.

“Yeah, I’ve been through a few myself,” he said, as if I had just asked whether or not he’d been

through a stop light at some point in his life. But there are no stop lights for Brooks, who though balking at putting his company in quite that much danger, is not one to shy away from action on the stage.

“Our performance will in-clude two pieces, Piñata, and you’re [also] seeing the first few sections from a new work titled Happy Lucky Sun. …which is about getting truly airborne and horizontal,” Brooks said. “The film [Rapid Stills, which plays with the performance] enables us to delete the ground and you get the illusion that I’m airborne and [in that] space we’re trying

to get airborne. But gravity’s there, dammit,” adds Brian with some playful annoyance.

It would seem that actually becoming airborne isn’t actual-ly feasible. However, he asserted that he most certainly is.

“It’s beyond image, we actually are airborne and the dancers are really flying through the air a little bit and someone has to get under them before they hit the ground. We’re actually running full force and flying sideways and colliding with someone on the way down. The action is [dan-gerous], not forgiving, it doesn’t apologize,” Brooks said.

People being hurled through the air at each other sounds like an intriguing work to say the least. And if that doesn’t sound manic enough, Piñata sounds even harder to pin down.

“ Piñata’s kinda crazy, [it’s a work] in movement and color and light, almost like a painter’s canvas has exploded into the side of the stage, and we use a couple hundred pounds of con-fetti. And when we dance it gets moved around in different pat-terns and swirls and finishes in black,” said Brooks.

Brooks offers something rare in, not just art, but rare any-where. It’s a blend of the human body through a kaleidoscope of motion and music that toys with any preconceived notion you have about the art of dance. These are the kind of shows you catch because they can only hap-pen in a certain time and place, once, and only once.

UP AND COMING

Sarah EwaldStaff Writer

The sixth annual WKNC Double Barrel Benefit will take place Friday and Satur-day.

“It features all local music, all from North Carolina”, Kelly Reid, former WKNC music director, said.

The Benefit grew out of a need for additional funds that Student Media allocations for WKNC did not cover, yet the station needed to maintain a certain budget every year.

“There were downfalls in the budget for what the sta-tion wanted, but couldn’t afford. Although the station was not professional, the bud-get was”, Reid said.

The revenue generated from the Benefit goes to such ac-tivities as promotions that are separate from day-to-day operations.

“For example, last year, we made enough money to buy a remote broadcasting unit that enables us to broadcast live from any location,” Adam Kincaid, WKNC program director, said. “It’s a serious piece of equipment for any ra-dio station that allows us to go to events and transmit a live signal to the masses from wherever we are.”

Jamie Proctor, former gen-eral manager and organizer of the first Double Barrel Bene-fit, said, “Kings [Barcade] had a lot of success putting on big annual event shows, like the Great Cover-Up shows, things that had the power to bring the whole regional scene to-gether, not just Raleigh folks.”

The initial idea was for a one-night-only concert, but there was enough interest both amongst local bands and audiences that it became a two night event, Proctor said.

“We handed out a few thou-sand f liers, but I didn’t really know what to expect. So you can imagine my excitement when I got there for the show and there was already a line down the block. The next year, we tried to expand things, bringing in some more bands from around the state — All Astronauts from Greensboro, Fashion Brigade from Wilmington and adding more NCSU student bands into the mix.”

“For the first four years, it used to be at King’s Barcade, but now it’s a parking deck,” Kyle Robb, general manager of WKNC, said.

The event was held at the Pour House last year, and will be held there this year.

Robb said that there are eight bands each year, with four bands playing each night.

“All of the bands this year are local, and it is probably our most prestigious lineup to date”, Kin-caid said.

Friday night will feature Lon-nie Walker, Lost in the Trees, Schooner and Bowerbirds take the stage. Saturday night’s lineup includes I Was Totally Destroy-ing It, Violet Vector & the Lovely Lovelies, Birds of Avalon and Polvo.

Reid said, “Bands are chosen based on what listeners of WKNC and the Triangle enjoy. These bands are affected by WKNC, and say ‘yes, I love WKNC’ in response to being asked to par-ticipate in the Benefit.”

She added that the bands are also considered on the basis of their difference made in the community.

According to Reid, WKNC has been lucky to land Polvo, since they are currently the most in-fluential indie band playing in the Triangle.

Notable past participants in the Benefit include the Mountain Goats, an acoustic duo whose frontman, John Darnielle, cur-

rently resides in Durham. The Benefit has also hosted The Annuals, a home-grown Ra-leigh sextet who released their sophomore follow-up album in October 2008.

Reid said, “This is the biggest event of the year, taking hours of

planning and hard work. With-out this, we wouldn’t be able to be an element of the commu-nity.”

Tickets are $7 in advance of the show and $9 at the door. A $5 surcharge will be added to any patron who is not 21, and patrons

must be at least 18. The Pour House is located in downtown Raleigh at 224 S. Blount Street.

Unique Dance Company comes to State

DJ Stevo (also known as Steve Sal-evan), said, “As KNC’s Resident Local Music Czar, I can say with confidence that the groups playing this year’s Double Barrel Benefit ably demon-strate the great diversity and high quality of the music produced by our local music scene.”

How DJ Stevo describes the bands:

Lonnie WalkerLonnie Walker pair Bob Dylan’s

swagger and rapid-fire lyrical deliv-ery to a twang not too far removed from Blood on the Tracks.

Lost in the TreesLost in the Trees are best described a rock orchestra, where violins and cellos are on an equal footing with the guitars and drums.

SchoonerSchooner is perhaps best described as a Southern shoegaze band; while their music is rooted in pop melo-

dies and woozy 50s slow dance bal-lads, there is a dreamlike quality that pervades it.

BowerbirdsThose who believe that good folk music is dead need only listen to the Bowerbirds to realize that it is still very much alive today.

I Was Totally Destroying ItMany attempt to classify IWTDI as a pop-rock band, and while this fact is true, their melodies are unusually

ambitious and catchy and their ar-rangements too intricate to be con-sidered as merely a pop group.

Violet Vector and the Lovely LoveliesVVLL take after the bubblegum pop songstresses of the 1960’s, complete with the instruments, outfits and even the hairstyles.Birds of AvalonBirds of Avalon must’ve listened to a lot of progressive rock and Thin Lizzy in their childhood, as their mu-

sic contains the psychedelic vibes, epic melodies and harmonizing gui-tar solos that defined the best work from these genres.

PolvoSimply put, Polvo are one of the most influential rock groups from the Triangle, and their reunion last year was heralded by every indie rock publication around. You owe it to yourself to listen to Polvo.

Named after the famous Mary-land venue, Merriweather Post Pavilion is Animal Collective’s ninth record and its finest one to date.

It’s hard to describe the sound of AC to someone who has never heard them. Their songs have only a thin layer of typical struc-ture and enough melodic repeti-tion that may turn away your av-erage listener at first. But much like Radiohead’s Kid A or Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot after a few listens your mind reaches past the barriers of traditional mu-sic and discovers the real genius ahead.

On its latest album, the band continues to experiment with all possible sounds blending psyche-delic, electronic and progressive rock into new sounds all their

own. “In the Flowers” but the turn it takes after that is what makes this album so special.

The vocals of Avey Tare (David Portner) and Panda Bear (Noah Lennox) then become reminis-cent of The Beach Boys and The Beatles and combined with the high pitch synthesizer and the pulse beat drum welcome you to their own style.

The following track, “My Girls,” captures of the essence of the album as a whole. It builds a slow start that rises to a peak that isn’t there. Instead you are left drifting pleasantly from one note to the next until they slowly dis-appear. The lyrics, “There isn’t much that I feel I need / A solid soul and the blood I bleed,” re-tract to innocent childish ideas

and routines, the overall theme.

“Summertime Clothes” starts out with a militaristic stomp which then glides to a catchy verse—chorus—verse outfit and back again. At the center of the song, the varied and competing vocals will ca-ter to any of AC’s former fans needs and will attract the at-tention of first time listeners.

The album ends on one of their best, “Brother Sport,” a phenomenal upbeat closer about moving forward.

Animal Collective has con-tinually changed their sound from one album to the next. Even though each album has been wonderful in it’s own way, Merriweather Post Pa-vilion takes the cake by com-bining all the best previous elements together to find a perfect niche for the band.

Merriweather Post Pavil-ion won’t catch everybody. Listeners who hear bits and pieces will be lost in confu-sion, but those who truly take the time to let this album run it’s course will be left nothing short of inspired. And if noth-ing else at least take a look at the cool album artwork.

Hip Hop, along with main-stream music, has evolved over the years, guided by the music industry, which seeks to better capture the ears (and seeming-ly more importantly, wallets) of the masses. Each genre has its cookie cutter track.

On the subject of Hip Hop’s cookie cutters, Charlie Smarts, an alumni who graduated in ‘06 in Marketing and one of the emcees from Kooley High, said, “Sometimes a lot of the songs on the radio gotta be super dancy. We’ve got a groove...I’m not hating, but I don’t think they groove on the radio as much.”

Ill Digitz, the DJ for Kooley High, added, “It’s kind of like the artists you hear on the ra-dio are doing it from a business standpoint. As soon as a busi-ness succeeds, people are going to emulate it. We’re trying to make it our own way — we don’t want to follow.”

The members of Kooley High came together through the student-run Hip Hop Organi-

zation (H2O) and is made up of three emcees (Charlie Smarts, Rapsody and Tab-One), two producers (Sinopsis and Fool-ery) and DJ Ill Digitz.

Smarts spoke about the groups mentality, saying, “You want people to like what you do. It hurts to flop, but it’s about taking criticism. It’s about coming together as Kool-ey High’s sound. If you hear me rapping, you can bet somebody helped me on it.”

Sinopsis then jeered, “He raps loud. You can tell how far the songs going to go by how

fast he’ll come with a hook. If Charlie gets a beat and it flops, that the end of the is-sue.” He then

elaborated on the shared work load.

“If you hate what I’m doing, you might like what Foolery does. It makes the work load a lot easier,” Sinopsis said.

On Jan. 24, Kooley got the chance to show its groove with the debut of its new film, directed by fellow m.e.c.c.a. (Middle East Coast Carolina Always) member Napoleon Wright II at the Galaxy Cin-ema. The film, entitled One

Day: Introducing Kooley High, gives spotlights to each of the members of the group, allow-ing them to open themselves up to the viewer. Spliced in between each close up are clips from the group’s performance

at The Pour House, which show the before, during and after of one of the band’s sets.

The film will be put online Thursday on becauseus.org and Vimeo.org. The group hopes the viral nature of the Internet

will help the band draw atten-tion to the burgeoning Hip Hop scene in North Carolina.

“[The movie] was made with the idea of releasing it online. I don’t think anyone has done something like this before,

Wright said. “And I want the video to be claimed by the masses, for the people to say it’s dope.”

The debut sold out at the Gal-axy, and Kooley has big hopes for what the online exposure will do.

Wright spoke about the points he wanted to get across in the movie.

“I wanted it to be where you are learning about everybody as people. I asked three ques-tions: Why did you get into it, why do you keep doing it and what do you hope to happen with it. When I came to [the second question], everybody seemed to forget about the camera and started being real.”

“Just from studying what’s going on, nobody has really opened the door to their life. It’s not us faking it till we make it,” Foolery said.

Smarts added, “You see the struggle of coming up from the bottom. It’s all about the music, love and camaraderie.”

Make sure to hop online Thursday to check out the movie. Kooley High also has an E.P., The Summer Sessions E.P. available on Itunes and kooley-high.com. Look for their debut album within the year, poten-tially this coming August.

This film isn’t really about wrestling. It’s about an aging entertainer, who finds himself with failing health, all alone af-ter years of ruling the ring, and clinging to his fading success with reckless abandon. It’s a story about a man trying to find his place in this world, and wres-tling with his demons.

To say this film is good just doesn’t give it justice. This film is phenomenal. Many critics and moviegoers had already closed the file on Mickey Rourke’s ca-reer as a leading man, but he proves in this film that he’s still got it. Many are calling this Mickey Rourke’s ‘resurrection,’ and they’re absolutely right.

Directed by Darren Aronofsky, the same director who brought us the uncomfortable-to-watch yet well-respected Requiem for a Dream, the film follows Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson, played by Mickey Rourke. The director uses a lot of tracking shots and hand-held cameras to basically shadow the main character (in fact, the audience doesn’t actu-ally see Randy’s face until about ten minutes in). The result is that the audience is seeing through Randy’s eyes, hearing

what he’s hearing, and feeling what he’s feeling. Mickey Rourke brings such genuine energy to this role, and it’s easy to root for him and connect with him.

Marisa Tomei plays Randy’s love interest, and while she could have easily fallen into the cliche of a ‘stripper with a heart of gold,’ the chemistry between the two actors and the well-written script keep that from happening.

Evan Rachel Wood plays Ran-dy’s daughter, Stephanie, and the scenes between the two are perhaps the most compassionate and moving in the entire film. Wood does a convincing job of portraying the anger at her fa-ther for not being there for her when she was growing up, and the moments of tenderness be-tween father and daughter feel real, not staged.

This film isn’t for the faint-of-heart, as there is some violence, nudity, and profanity. But Aronofsky highlights the cama-raderie and humor that takes place between the wrestlers, and there are plenty of moments that will make an audience laugh out loud. Sure, there are some con-tinuity errors and some editing mistakes, but these are minor is-sues. The overall effect is a film that feels incredibly genuine, and unexpectedly moving.

two national titles in the same season, not the same year, we’re talking same season, same team, and that’s what we’re hoping to do.”

According to Caramanica, al-though he and Caldwell have a tremendous amount of respect for each other, the tightness of their relationship does not pre-vent them from competing like hated rivals when they workout and wrestle one another.

“In the [mat] room, he’s my worst enemy, and we’ll get mad at each other. We’ll get in fights at practice and we beat each oth-er up,” Caramanica said. “But once we leave the room, we’re best friends again.”

Caramanica said Caldwell’s presence on the team has had an enormous impact on his own wrestling career.

“I don’t think I would have done half as well as I’ve done if he wouldn’t have come to school here,” Caramanica said. “I could not imagine if he didn’t come how I would have been wres-tling.”

James?Hickson: It is really good. I am learning a lot from [Le]Bron to Mo Williams to Ben Wallace to Lorenzen Wright — whose been in the league 13 years. I am learning a lot from those guys. Not only on the court but off the court.

Technician: Has there been anyone on the team that has served as your mentor in your rookie season?Hickson: I would probably say LeBron [James] and Ben [Wallace]. But this team is more like a family. Everyone kind of put me and Darnell Jackson under their wings. Me and Darnell are very close, but we all have our certain people to talk to on the team when we have questions.

Technician: How does the NBA game compare to the college game?Hickson: I would say the NBA game is more slowed down. It can get to a fast tempo, but for the most part, it is very skilled and it is more slowed down. There is more thinking that goes into it.

Technician: Has the sheer num-ber of games you play in the NBA begun to wear on you?Hickson: Not really. I would say that the practices in college are a little bit harder, but I think you practice longer in the NBA. NBA practices consist of going through your plays and just get-ting up a lot of shots. There is a lot of scouting involved in our practices too.

Technician: What is it like, af-ter being a poor college student no more than a year ago, being financially independent?Hickson: It’s pretty nice to not have to want for anything any-more — to say that I’m financial-ly stable. I can go buy my grand-mother that car or that house that she’s wanted. I can finally say that I’m the bread-getter in my family. I’m what makes my family grow. It feels good that I’m working, because if [my family] asks for something, I am able to give it to them, rather than me asking them.

Technician: Are you happy with your decision to play profession-ally after only one year at N.C. State?Hickson: I am not going to lie, the first couple of weeks, I kind of missed college and my fellow teammates and just being in that atmosphere. It kind of wears off

after a while. You have to focus on the task at hand, and the NBA was my task at hand.

Technician: Do you still keep up with Wolfpack basketball?Hickson: Yeah, I watched the game against Duke, and I’ve watched a couple of other games. I keep in contact with [sopho-more forward Tracy Smith] a lot. He keeps me updated on all the games.

Technician: Anything else you would like to say about playing in the pros?Hickson: Just when you’re ready, you’re ready. If you think you’re ready, then you’re ready. As a bas-ketball player, I think you know if you’re ready for the NBA or not. Then, once you get here, it’s a good experience because you know what you have to work on and you know what you’re good at. Don’t try to do a whole lot. Everybody in this league has a certain task that they are good at — whether it’s defense, shoot-ing, blocking shots or just being a great ball handler. Everyone in this league has something that they’re just phenomenal at. Whatever you’re phenomenal at, just work on that task and every-thing else will come later.

ally excited about it,” coach Jenny Keim Johansen said. “It was at a level where he’s going to be able to compete nation-ally with some of the top male divers in the country. It’s also going to give him a little bit of confidence going into the post-season this year.”

The road to the record books was not exactly how many would picture it. In his four years at State, Hamp-ton has had four different coaches—a difficult thing to deal with for any athlete. As a freshman, the St. Petersburg, Fla. native set the school re-cord for the 11-dive champi-onship score on the 3-meter board.

Many athletes may lose trust in coaches or have diffi-culty getting along with them after having a new coach each year, but not Hampton. He chose to use what he learned from each coach along with the teachings of his current coach to his advantage.

“Every single one of them has brought something dif-ferent to the table,” Hampton said. “It’s just been a combina-tion of all four of them that’s just really brought a different

kind of coaching experience for me and it’s all starting to come together which is really exciting.”

Johansen agreed with Hamp-ton. She credited him and his teammates for their positive, receptive attitudes.

“I am fortunate enough com-ing in as the fourth coach in four years that Austin as well as the rest of his team are even having an open mind to yet another coach and they are not just sort of dismissing it as the fourth coach in as many seasons,” Jo-hansen said. “I give them all credit for being able to come in with an open mind, listening and learning and trying to create yet another relationship. Austin has done a great job with that.”

Hampton has had injuries from bruises to bruised lungs, but he still looks forward to practice—something that has remained steadfast his entire diving career. He says it is a release from the day-to-day grind of biomedical engineering. Hampton’s parents were able to make the trip to Ra-leigh from St. Petersburg, Fla. to see their son compete in his last collegiate diving meet at Casey Natatorium.

“My parents were at the meet; it’s one of the few meets they could make it to. It meant so much to me that they could be there for me,” Hampton said.

COUNTDOWN INSIDE

Senior diver Austin Hampton smashes school record on senior night

Sean KlemmStaff Writer

Athletes and students alike can remember growing up dreaming about hitting the game-winning home run, shooting buzzer-beaters or throwing the winning touchdown pass in the big game. Not many, however, pretend they are shattering their schools 3-meter diving record.

Senior diver Austin Hamp-ton’s passion for diving began during the summer when he was 7 years old. As a mem-ber of his pool’s swim team, Hampton said swimming just didn’t do it for him. So the child gymnast decided to trade f lipping on mats for f lipping off boards and f lipped his way into N.C. State’s record book.

“It was a great accomplish-ment for sure and he was re-

The Pack’s ‘Duo,’ Darrion Caldwell and Joe Caramanica, strive for titles at 141, 149

Tyler EverettStaff Writer

While the wrestling team’s season has been filled with unexpected obstacles in the form of injuries and other circumstances, ju-nior 149-pounder Darrion Caldwell, who is ranked No. 3 nationally, and senior 141-pounder Joe Caramanica, who is ranked No. 15 nation-ally, have consistently earned points for the Wolfpack.

The nickname “The Duo” was provided by Caldwell, who has also used the same term to describe another partnership with a star ath-lete. Caldwell is very close with current Louisville star forward and NBA prospect Earl Clark, and the two shared the nickname during their high school basketball days together.

Caldwell said he quickly recognized that he and Car-amanica were a very strong combination at the 141 and 149 pound weight classes, and he felt like “The Duo” did more justice to describe them than simply “one-two punch.”

“We’ve always been a one-two punch for the team, so we thought instead of one-two punch we should phrase it up with some swagger to it and call it “The Duo,” Caldwell said.

Both Caramanica and Caldwell have enjoyed cham-pionships and success up to this point and both are on track to put their marks in the N.C. State record books. Last year, both Caramanica and

Caldwell notched more than 30 victories, the first time this has happened in 20 years.

Caldwell began his career by recording a pin in just 13 sec-onds in his first collegiate match, and he has since accumulated a long list of records and awards, including winning ACC Wres-tler of the Year as a freshman and winning 35 matches as a sopho-more. Both marks are firsts in the history of the wrestling program.

Caramanica, who is in his final season, finished 3rd in the ACC Championships as a freshman, won the ACC Championship at 141-pounds as a sophomore and was tied for 18th in school his-tory in career victories after his junior year.

The success “The Duo” had prior to this season has given them the confidence coming into this year’s campaign to strive for a very lofty goal--individual na-tional championships at both 141 and 149.

When asked about the goals of “The Duo”, Caldwell did not hesitate to say that he and Cara-manica intend on winning not one, but two national titles this season.

“We both have a real good chance of making it to the na-tional finals and winning a na-tional title,” Caldwell said. “We are ready to get this campus

COMING SOONThursday:

Technician: It’s always been your goal to play in the NBA. Now that you’ve made it, how does it feel?Hickson: It’s been really good. I accomplished another goal in my life, another step in my life. I can’t get comfortable — I’ve got to continue to get better and continue to work harder.

Technician: How do you see your role with the Cavaliers?Hickson: Right now, my role is to come off the bench and give my team instant energy — on defense or offense. My coach, Mike Brown, is more passion-ate on the defensive end. That’s how you earn wins, is by playing good defense. It’s proven itself time and time again, that the team that plays good defense is

the team that usually comes out with the win. [I] just try to give my team a spark off the bench.

Technician: Do you feel for-tunate that you got selected by one of the NBA’s most successful teams right now?Hickson: I think I had the best choice of the draft. I mean I went 19th — I was a top-20 pick. And on top of that, I am getting playing time on a championship contending ballclub. Players that went higher than me mostly went to teams that don’t have as good a record as we do or are not playing as good of basketball as we are.
