Increase in business normal for spring semester

Courtney BolinStaff Writer

With New Year’s resolutions fresh on the minds of students and faculty alike, Carmichael Complex has been busier than usual.

Matt Miller, the director of Carmichael Complex, said more people are using the gym at the beginning of the semester than usual.

“In looking at our entrance statistics from the past week, usage is up roughly 50 percent over what it would be for a nor-mal week during the semester,” Miller said.

Miller said he believes the crowded atmosphere will die down soon.

“Historically, we have seen the push die down after spring break for a couple reasons,” Miller said. “One, the push to get in shape

for spring break is over, but also the weather becomes nicer and students take their physical ac-tivity outside.”

Students have also noticed an increase in the amount of people working out at the gym to begin the semester.

Hannah LaRoe, a sophomore in textiles, said she enjoys work-ing out on a regular basis.

She said she has noticed a lot more people working out than usual and said she has tried to avoid the crowds.

“I go as early as possible be-cause it starts to get more crowd-ed after 2 p.m.,” she said.

LaRoe said she has had trouble getting machines she wants as the gym gets busier.

For people who are new to us-ing the gym, it is important to understand how the equipment works and know how to use it properly, Miller said.

Staff Report

Adverse weather advisory puts delay on Tuesday

Staff ReportClasses before 10 a.m. to-

day have been canceled due to the weather conditions in and around Raleigh.

University officials decided Monday evening to cancel early morning classes after reviewing a National Weather Service fore-cast and local driving conditions.

Although early classes are can-celed, the University is open.

Faculty, staff members and stu-dents are not expected to be on campus when the University is closed or opens late, according to a statement the Adverse Weather team issued Monday evening.

“Non-essential employees” will

not be docked pay or required to make up time when the Univer-sity is closed or opens late.

In the statement, the Univer-sity urged non-essential faculty, staff and students to stay away from campus to help ‘facilitate the efficient clearing of streets, sidewalks and parking lots.’

Students who miss scheduled activities will also be allowed to make up work.

Additional announcements concerning class and work schedules will be posted on the University Web site and techni-cianonline.com throughout the day.

HELLO, MR. PRESIDENTSTUDENTS CELEBRATE INAUGURATION FROM NEAR AND FAR

The election of the 44th president of the United States is definitely a historic one — President-elect Barack Obama, America’s first black president, will be inaugurated today, one day after Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

This event marks not only a period of change, as Obama has campaigned for, but a period of progress for America in regards to equality and what Civil Rights Movement activists like MLK fought for in the 1960s.

To read more about the presidential inauguration, see page 3.

James CoxStaff Writer

At about 2:30 a.m. Friday night, Campout organizers de-cided to end Campout before people got too cold.

Approximately 2,300 students camped out on Lee Field for tick-ets to the basketball game against UNC-Chapel Hill Jan. 31.

Heaters were set up around the field to help protect students from the cold.

Stands were also put up to provide students with free hot chocolate and Marco’s Pizza was selling discount pizza.

University Dining kept Foun-tain Dining Hall open until 2:20 a.m.

The plan was orininally for the hall to be open until 6 a.m.

However, students were able to stay warm due to a require-ment they wear multiple layers of clothing.

CORRECTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS

In Friday’s page-three photo above the “Cotton” jumpline, the caption was incorrect and the photo was not a file photo. The caption should have stated, “Cara Gilmore, a junior in accounting, struts down the runway at the Cotton Couture fashion show Thursday night.”

In Friday’s page-eight, “Did You Know” section of Wolf Facts, the men’s basketball team’s record was incorrect. At the time, the team was 0-2 in the ACC, and after the victory over Georgia Tech, the team is 1-2 in the ACC.

WORLD & NATION Escobedo turns himself in a!er children burned

Tracy Lynn Escobedo turned himself in Sunday amidst allega-tions that he burned four children with sulfuric acid. Escobedo was carrying the acid in a container in his truck bed when the con-tainer broke, splashing the acid on the children, ages 4, 7, 14 and 18. As he turned himself to the authorities, Escobedo insisted the incident was an accident, saying he only “ran because he was scared.” Escobedo is charged with four counts of injury to a child, according to authorities. Three of the children are fine, but the 7 year-old is “not very good,” Michael Compton, sheriff of cook county, said.

Israel to withdraw from Gaza

Israel has made plans to evacuate its military personnel from Gaza, Israeli officials said Monday. The pullout was initiated by the cease-fire that took place over the weekend af-ter over three weeks of fighting in the area. The evacuation began Sunday and should be finished by Tuesday evening, Israeli time. The withdrawal is scheduled to be completed by the time President-elect Barack Obama is sworn into office at noon EST on Tuesday. After the fighting, sources indicate the final death toll for both sides to be almost 1,300.

Obama to change abortion policy, sources say

President-elect Barack Obama is considering reversing a policy Presi-dent George Bush instituted regard-ing abortion. The current policy in question is the “Mexico City Policy,” which keeps US money from funding international family planning groups that support abortion. The policy has had its share of ups and downs in the past. President Bill Clinton lifted the original policy in 1993 before Bush reinstated it in 2001. Now, according to three Democrats, Obama will again

negate the policy, probably during his first week in office.

Ex-guerilla group in control of legislature

The Farabundo Marti National Lib-eration Front, or FMLN, an ex-guerilla group in El Salvador, now has control of the legislature.

This victory puts the group in a strong position to win the presiden-tial election in March. If the group did have someone elected, El Salvador would become another Latin ameri-can country with a leftist leader.

FMLN, which began in the 1980s as a military group, became a legitimate political party in 1992 following a 12-year civil war. SOURCE: CNN.COM

Inauguration to include unprecedented safety e"orts

President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration will be one of the most watched inaugurations in the history of the United States.

It will also be one of the most heavily secured ones. Govern-ment intelligence officials are taking extra precautions today to ensure the safety of the new president.

FBI officials said that a rise in threats against Obama has not produced a credible threat.

The security concerns today will be under the jurisdiction of the Secret Service. 8,000 police of-ficers, 10,000 National Guardsmen and about 1,000 FBI personnel will be on hand for the ceremony.

If anything should happen, 20,000 members of the National Guard will be ready to respond.

ment orientations to folks that need instructions on how to use the equipment,” Miller said.

Miller also said students and faculty can always get help learn-ing how to use equipment.

“Students, faculty, or staff can sign up in the fitness suite on the second floor of the Carmichael Recreation Center for that ser-vice,” he said. “Or they can al-ways ask one of our students monitoring the fitness center for instructions on how to operate the equipment.”

Miller said Carmichael Com-plex is working to offer students more incentives for going to the gym.

We are also a collaborative partner with a number of other University departments and Stu-dent Body President Jay Dawkins in launching the Healthy State World Tour,” he said. “It is an incentive program that allows students the opportunity to track their physical activity on-line, and once they meet various milestones they are entered in a drawing for some pretty nice

prizes.”Jeremy Presson, a junior in en-

gineering, also said he thinks the gym is more crowded than at the end of last semester.

He said it was also very busy at the beginning of the 2008 spring semester when students first got back to school, but that it seemed to slack off pretty quickly.

Presson said he thinks one of the reasons the gym is busier is because students haven’t accu-

mulated a heavy load of projects and homework yet.

“I usually go after I get out of class and it’s convenient for me,” Presson said.

He said he doesn’t plan to change his usual gym-going ac-tivities to avoid the crowds.

“I usually just try to pick the times with the most ladies work-ing out,” Presson said.

TECHNICIAN

Monday marked Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a day of service and re-

membrance of the United States’ greatest civil rights leader.

Today, Barack Obama will be-come the first black president of the United States.

King would have been exhila-rated to see a black man enter the White House, and Obama’s inau-guration is not only an achieve-ment for black people but for all Americans.

His past shows that America is truly a place where dreams can come true. He was raised by a single mother and put himself through college and law school. Obama’s life is an example that

America is the land of opportu-nity where anything can happen.

Today is historical not only because Obama is the first black president, but because of the amount of change he promises to bring to the U.S. government.

And with any election comes people who are dissatisfied with the results, but we ask those who did not support Obama through the election to stay open-minded. What our country needs now is unity, and for that to happen, everyone must come together and give him a chance. We must stand behind him, because

whether you like it or not, he is our president.

We can’t change who the pres-ident is right now, and we can only trust that Obama will listen to the youth and advocate for us on issues on education. But there have to be people who are willing to speak up about their views on legislation. It is a hard time for our economy, and students need to fight for funding for the Uni-versity at a time when money is a rare commodity.

Even though the election is over, it is absolutely necessary to stay involved in politics. Keep

pushing your views, and if you are not satisfied with our new leaders, work for change and it can happen. Just because another election is four years away doesn’t mean students should stop car-ing. After all, youth involvement helped Obama become president. Talk to your legislators and let them know where you stand. Continue to let them know your opinions so they can advocate for their constituents.

We only hope that today marks the end of a rocky road and is the start of a beautiful journey. Monday and today are days to celebrate diversity, not only in race, but in opinions and views.

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:Barack Obama will become president today and some are going into this new presidential era with a closed mind.OUR OPINION:We must stick together through these rough times and keep our leaders in check.THE SOLUTION:Students should embrace Obama during his Inauguration and continue to stay involved in politics.

Set political di!erences aside today!OUR VIEW"

Barack Obama will make a new commitment and take on a new “spouse.”

Conrad Plyler, freshman in political science

Oh, the things we’ve learned over the past eight years.

We’ve learned that we really didn’t have a good reason to start

a war in Iraq.We’ve

learned that t he p e ople running our financial sys-tem believed money really did grow on trees.

And we’ve learned that the man who was elected in 2000 to run America doesn’t regret his actions regarding any of the se-ries of disasters that have taken place since he took office.

But today is not a discussion of the past eight years. Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in the tale of America. And while we certainly have many lessons to learn and live by, any political commentator will say what we should focus on is the first 100 days of Barack Obama’s admin-istration that we are welcom-ing to the presi-dency today.

One of the t h ings we’ve learned over the past few years i s Wa sh i ng-ton, D.C. must have a different def init ion of bipartisan than the one in Web-ster’s , which defines the term as “marked by or involv ing cooperation, agreement and compromise between two major political parties.”

We’ve lived through eight years of uncompromising unilateral-ism in the nation’s capital, and the new president has promised to take steps towards true bipar-tisan politics in Washington. But Andrew Taylor, department head of political science, said Obama seems to be living up to his word, particularly as two members of his cabinet are Republicans.

And true bipartisanship is important — one of the first or-ders of business will be the new economic stimulus package. As students, this may affect the jobs we can get now, the jobs we can get after graduating, the price of anything a college student would buy and any number of govern-ment programs that make life affordable, like federal student loan program and the GI Bill.

So yes, we have a dog in this fight.

But students have also com-mitted large amounts of time to campaign and vote for the “change” candidate, and they have earned the right to know what sort of change they’ve man-aged to put into the Oval Office.

Everyone had his or her pet issue during the campaign: the environment, the war on terror, health care, Social Security and reform and possible re-regula-tion of the financial system were some of the issues on the table.

But most of all, what a lot of students (and other Americans, for that matter) wanted was a breath of fresh air in the nation’s capital. And did we get it?

Yes and no.Yes, today marks the day where

a black American finally takes the oath of office and becomes president. And yes, with the economy in the crapper, it looks like Washington is actually going to do something big that should help most people.

But we haven’t seen the end of politics as usual and a sweeping

new interest group ushered in by Al Gore’s Internet. Tay-lor said elec-tions wil l be conducted in a similar fash-ion, with the only changes in strategy re-f lec t i ng t he potential new battlegrounds in previously untouchable GOP states.

Taylor a lso noted how dif-ficult it would

be for Obama to turn the net roots activists from a base to campaign from to a base to gov-ern with. It’s limited to any of the dozen or so e-mails people might receive from the Obama admin-istration with information about the coming months.

Barring new developments in foreign affairs, what we should look forward to is a healthy de-bate and the beginnings of new coalitions on domestic issues like the economy, health care and the environment, Taylor said.

But again, the first 100 days are key. This may have been a historic election, but the more important thing to worry about is the creation (or failure) of historic legislation in these eco-nomic doldrums.

Look past the inauguration

Word on the street is that once United States Senate Ma-

jority Leader Harry Reid, Democrat from Nevada, read my last column about Ron-

ald Burris h e i m -mediately ca l led an emergency meeting of the Demo-cratic Cau-cus. Now, following

my recommendation and counsel, Burris is now the junior Senator from Illinois.

Just nine days after holding a news conference in the rain because the Senate barred him from entering its cham-ber, Burris walked onto the Senate floor escorted by Reid’s chief deputy Dick Durbin, a fellow Democrat also from Illinois. That same day Sen. Joseph Biden and Sen. Hillary Clinton gave farewell speech-es. Both are leaving the Senate for senior positions in the new Obama Administration.

Vice President-elect Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972 – at the ripe old age of 29. Biden has spent 36 years in the Senate – an entire life-time. Reid first came to Con-gress in 1982. As we draw to the end of George W. Bush’s presidency – let’s be thank-ful for constitutionally man-dated executive term limits and ponder the question, do we need Congressional term limits, too.

As a part of the 1994 “Con-tract with America,” Republi-

cans of the 104th Congress made term limits a top priority, yet failed twice to pass a constitu-tional amendment. Limits would prohibit an individual from serv-ing in Congress beyond a certain number of terms. A number of states have term limited mem-bers of their state legislature. Some states have even attempted to limit the terms of their mem-bers of Congress. But in 1995 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state term limits are unconstitu-tional and that allowing states to impose these restrictions would “weaken Congress’s national character.”

Supporters of term limits say that Congress is made up of too many career politicians who have undercut the notion of a citizen legisla-tor. Longtime serving officials are so focused on staying in office that they lose touch with their constitu-ents and are more suscep-tible to corruption. Backers of the term limit effort say limits will encourage more people to run for Congress especially un-derrepresented groups like mi-norities and women.

Congressional term limits do have detractors. They cite experi-ence, institutional memory and strong constituent ties as objec-tions to limits. Citizens should have the opportunity to vote for whomever they believe will best

serve them in Congress, even longtime incumbents. Sena-tor Orrin Hatch (Republican-Utah) said it best that “the real term limit is at the bal-lot box, and that is where it should be.”

Members of Congress are afraid to make decisions that may jeopardize their chances at re-election. Perhaps term limits are the answer? But that will require a constitutional amendment. We could start however with simpler re-forms: slashing Congressional salaries and benefits, cutting

la rge a nd entrenched staffs both in D.C. and at home; and eliminating out of state political contribu-tions.

Careerism and unen-cumbered incumbency has allowed national problems to go unre-solved. The

nation’s framers never envi-sioned individuals serving countless decades in Con-gress. Term limits may be an undemocratic response to this prevailing problem. But as each day passes, they become more and more ap-pealing.

The Randy Rogers Band, coming off a show the night before on The Late Show with David Letterman, brought energy and passion to The Berkeley Cafe Jan. 15.

Dan PorterA&E Editor

The breadth of exposure a band can get from appearing on a show like the Late Show with David Letterman can be invaluable for their climb to greatness. In addition, the pressures involved with per-forming at that level can be overbearing, to say the least.

The Randy Rogers Band had this opportunity and played their song “Wicked Ways” from their self-entitled al-bum on Jan. 14. The band appeared to be focused and intense, which was perfect for the mood of the song.

On Jan. 15, the band played at The Berkeley Cafe to a much smaller audience. The band came up on stage a few minutes past 8 o’clock, walk-ing up a small set of steps from stage right. The stage was packed full of instru-ments; guitarist Geoffrey Hill having five guitars on stage at his disposal alone. In true country fashion, the air was full of the smell of beer and cigarettes.

Rogers stepped up to the microphone to the rise of cheers from the audience. As the cheers died down, Rog-ers remarked at how much different the night was from the preceding which drew laughter from everyone in the crowd.

From the start, the band was energetic and casual — a stark difference from the more reserved feel the band gave the night before.

The nervousness that can

sometimes exist in crowds about just how much one can get into the music was immediately oblit-erated by this energy. Between the animated (and VERY tal-ented) Brady Black, who jumped around stage with his violin and the intense guitar solos of Hill, it was evident that the band was completely invested in the music they played — and they wanted the crowd join them.

Jon “Chops” Richardson even made his way up to the micro-phone to sing a song and showed that he was not only a talented bassist, but had a good singing voice as well.

The band played a two hour set with no breaks, and performed music from both older albums and their most recent one. The band made sure to include their more popular songs like “Kiss

Me in the Dark”, “In My Arms Instead” and “One More Good-bye”, all of which had the crowd singing and dancing along with the band.

For modern country music, this is about as good as it gets. Purists may find the band’s sound to be a little too pop for their taste relative to the sounds of the 60s and 70s, but they will only be able to stop their foot from tapping along for so long. They may even find themselves

singing the choruses after the fact.

One place that the band suc-ceeds is musical quality. Roger’s voice sounds just like it did on Letterman and on the band’s CD. His voice sounds similar to that of Gary Allan, with just as much of the passion and feeling that is present in Allan’s songs.

Fans that look for musicians that do not need assistance from sound correcting tech-nologies will certainly appreci-

ate the quality. The fidelity was a little surprising, especially from Black, who managed some complex fiddling while dancing to the music. Much of the atten-tion was shared between Rogers and Black, save for the interven-ing guitar solos of Hill.

The band played an entertain-ing show that was well worth the trip. The songs were catchy and the energy with which the band performed made the show great.

The band’s current list of tour dates on their Web site (randy-rogersband.com) does not have any shows planned for NC yet. The band tours around 200 days a year, according to Rogers, so if you missed out on the show, it won’t be long before the band comes back.

Clint Eastwood has a pe-culiar power in American cinema. Former man’s man badass to beat, all star of the Man With No Name west-erns, he moved into direct-ing and made his acting a side project, and in return brought us some of the fin-est American cinema of the past several decades. He’s one of the last directors out there who knows how to do a true American classic, and after he’s gone we’ll have to start all over again.

Gran Torino, intended to be his last foray into the world of acting, feels like all of East-wood’s cowboy personae grown up and grown old, rolled into a callous, gravel-tongued, gun-toting burrito, sauce extra hot. As Walt Kow-alski, Eastwood plays a rather racist, over-the-hill Korean war veteran whose wife has just passed away, and whose days are only made more frus-trating as his Detroit neigh-borhood becomes populated with Hmong (pronounced “mung”) immigrants. Rather unwillingly at first, he begins to look out for the children of his next door neighbors, who become the victim of Hmong gang violence and abuse.

Admittedly, the movie is kind of boring for the first

half hour or so, as the exposi-tion leaves you disliking the old codger, who comes off as more jackass than badass. But then Clint starts drawing a bead on gangbangers with his bolt-action M1903 Springfield and I couldn’t be happier. It is kind of sad that it takes him pulling his piece to get me interested in a movie that really has very little violence and isn’t even about one man’s bloody quest for revenge.

Then I remember the scene that has Clint Freaking East-wood sticking a gun in some-one’s face and saying “Get off my lawn” and all is forgiven.

Most of what you’ll end up lik-ing this movie for comes in the middle 90 minutes where Walt is slowly learning to care about something other than himself, and the humor and charm of him teaching a neighbor kid carpentry or looking awkward at a Hmong family gathering is something I simply didn’t ex-pect.

It has always been my belief that badasses are characters you can rarely develop, because we think they’re cool and all when they start busting skulls and per-forating stooges, but show them going to the hardware store or getting a haircut and suddenly they’re vulnerable, human and the antithesis of the gun-toting warrior we’ve fallen in love with.

In between the high doses of racial slurs and truculent cantankery you’ll find a movie about family and finding a place for yourself in the ever-changing world.

One of the better set pieces in Gran Torino are the Hmong themselves, who save one are all first time actors from real

Hmong-American neighbor-hoods. While their acting isn’t superb…okay, no window dress-ing, their acting is bad, but even so I am totally ready and able to forgive it. Simply put, no one does this in films, big budget or otherwise. You know how you rarely see African-American ac-tors in Westerns? In reality, one-third of the people living in the Old West were black. You know Milk, last year’s Sean Penn film

focusing on gay rights activism? Nary an openly homosexual ac-tor in any of the lead roles.

It’s a problem when you claim equality but then hide it behind standards and practices so old they’re basically discriminatory, and so I applaud Eastwood for making the effort for authentic-ity. It’s a statement, and honestly, a much needed one.

So, to re-cap, character good, story charming, cast authentic.

All sounds good so far, right?Well, it’s the little things that

tore parts of this movie down for me. First off, the Gran To-rino itself, Walt’s vintage muscle car which is just aching to be whipped out right at the film’s end for something truly amaz-ing, is shelved the entire movie. And while the car having sym-bolic significance is nice and all, what would have been nicer were if it had driving-really-fast-to-somewhere-doing-something-really-cool significance.

Walt’s kids and their families are another issue, in that they’re portrayed as suburban, stuck-up, spoiled and ungrateful, but you have to think that if Walt treated his kids as badly as he does ev-eryone else, how could they not? The film seems intent on paint-ing them as a kind of antagonist for him, but it feels dishonest and unnecessary at every turn.

Most people will probably dis-agree with me on this last point, but I found the film’s ending very disappointing. It’s purposely an anticlimax, but the film is lit-tered with set-up for it to go the other way and I have to believe that Walt isn’t simply “too old” to take the bad guys on.

It isn’t as engaging a tale as his other legendary works, Unforgiv-en, Million Dollar Baby or even Changeling, but it does have a lot of heart and is something I’d rec-ommend to anyone looking for a really well done film.

Also, for reasons passing un-derstanding, Eastwood sings the song that plays over the end credits. I can’t remember a time I’ve run out of a movie theater faster than that moment.

It must be 2009: the world has gone digital.

WKNC 88.1 FM has recent-ly announced the launch of its first official blog.

“In an effort to reach out to our online community and encourage interaction with our listeners we have carved out an Internet outpost where WKNC listeners can come to find all of the newest and most up-to-date informa-tion about all of our music formats,” Kyle Robb, the sta-tion’s general manager, stated in the official press release on January 1st, 2009.

Robb, the program director, and the webmaster are all ad-ministrators of the new blog, and their job is to filter com-ments, approve posts and ba-sically oversee the whole blog.

Robb said ideally this blog is a place for people who listen to WKNC to come together and join a sort of commu-nity. He said the main Web site for WKNC would get a lot of traffic, about 50,000 page views a month, but that peo-ple weren’t sticking around on the site for too long. In an attempt to keep people on the site for longer periods of time, the station tried to launch a forum, but there still wasn’t much community-building going on. That lead them to the idea of starting a blog.

The blog is updated regu-larly, about four times per day just in the first few weeks since launch. Robb said that they want to “entice people to build a community by giving them regular content, and give people a reason to stick around the site.”

Many of the station’s DJs write for the blog, and Robb encourages anybody on the WKNC staff to write as well. According to the off icial

press release, “The staff actu-ally started posting to the blog in November so there would be plenty of content to welcome new readers, including information on local artists and shows, mu-sic news and reviews and station promotions.”

The blog is organized into cat-egories so viewers can browse posts in Local Music, Daytime Rock, Multimedia, Promotions, Weekend Specialty, Under-ground Hip-hop, Afterhours or Chainsaw Rock. There is some-thing on the blog for every musi-cal taste.

The blog also features pod-casts of all the talk shows and interviews on WKNC. WKNC is hoping to collaborate with the

Technician’s “88.1 Pick of the Week” album review and have the review read on the air, inter-spersed with music, Robb said.

Robb said that the blog is in-f luenced by newraleigh.com, goodnightraleigh.com, indiew-eek.com and even pitchfork.com.

The new blog has already been featured on both newraleigh.com and newsandobserver.com. Robb said that there has been a lot of support from the local blogging community. The blog has enjoyed off-the-bat success, with 4,391 page views from 1,362 unique visitors since January 1st.

When Musiq Soulchild stepped on the scene in 2000 with his classic debut album Aijustwana-seing, he carried on the tradition of Neo-Soul music started by artist including Erykah Badu and D’angelo. From “Just Friends” and “Love” to “Don’t Change” and “B.U.D.D.Y.”, Musiq has re-mained a consistent force in the realm of Neo-Soul for almost a decade. With his latest release “Onmyradio”, the 30 year old Philly native fails to disappoint.

For Musiq fans, the release of the first single from “Onmyra-dio”, “Radio” was a confusing. The crunk track does nothing to compliment Musiq as an artist or appease his fan base and failed to chart. With the state of R&B as it is, the watered down production, uninspired vocals and no origi-nally, one would wonder why Musiq, would try and conform. Thankfully, the poor choice of a lead single is in no way indicative of the remainder of the album.

“OnMyRadio” opens with the up-tempo, hard hitting, bass driven “Backagain”, where Mu-siq explains how he thought he was over a break-up, until they came back.

“Until”, reminiscent lyrically of Stevie Wonder’s classic “Al-ways”, tells of how he’ll love his significant other until the end of time. It is one of the albums stand-out tracks.

The second single, “IfULeave”, a duet with the Queen of Hip/Hop R&B Soul, Mary J. Blige is a well balanced duet of back and forth banter between a cou-ple on the verge of a break-up.

Production-wise, it is similar to”Teachme”, a gem released from Musiq’s last album, “Lu-vanmusiq”.

Momentum comes to a stand still with “Special” and “Deser-veyoumore” On “Special” the melody and beat are competing with each other and “Deservey-oumore” sounds like a 70’s bland love song by an all male vocal quartet.

The piano driven “Dearjohn” is a letter explaining how Musiq, lacking the courage to break up in person instead opts for a pen and piece of paper. The sadness in Musiq’s voice, remorseful lyr-ics, vocal arrangement, harmo-nies and production make this the best track on the album.

Next, “Loveofmylife”, is equally endearing and gross as Musiq sings how he “can loose a car, even body parts”, but could never live without the love of his life. Feeling the recession, “Mon-eyright”, an up-tempo electro-pop groove has Musiq pledging to give his love all they desire once he gets his funds together. In terms of production, where as John Legend has “Green Light”, Musiq has “Moneyright”, minus

Andre 3000.On “Someone” Musiq delivers

what he does best. Love ballads. The dulcet melody and beautiful words express how we all want someone to love us despite our imperfections.

The only other feature on the album, “Iwannabe” featuring Damian Marley infuses a bit of Reggae and Caribbean vibe on a song surely to make you want to move.

“Sobeautiful” is another mov-ing love ballad where Musiq dis-plays how his vocal prowess has matured in the past 8 years try-ing out his falsetto.

Albums are often judged by their first single, but there are exceptions to every rule, “On-myradio” being one. Musiq, al-though with a few missteps, has stayed true to who he is as an artist while remaining relevant. Although “Onmyradio” may not be Musiq’s best, it is a solid effort and a solid effort from Musiq is still better than what’s currently playing—-on the radio.

“We brought in some better competition this year from out of state instead of our usual oppo-nents — Carolina, ECU,” Zefeldt said. “The tournament definitely got better this year.”

The tournament is hosted by the Carolina Hurricanes and held at the RecZone. State took the trophy for the first several years after the tournament be-gan, but Duke won the title in 2007 and Virginia Tech claimed it in 2008.

State f inished the tourna-ment 1-2, clobbering Rhode Is-land College 16-2 in its opening match-up before being shut out, 7-0, against UMBC on Saturday.

Team captain Chris Martucci, playing in his third Canes Cup, said this was the first year that State invited six teams to partici-pate instead of four.

After Thomas was injured, the Wolfpack — playing with a 5-on-3 power play with the game tied at 6 and little more than five minutes remaining — rallied for two quick goals.

“That was less of a ‘let’s do it for coach’ moment and more like a ‘I don’t want to lose’ moment,” Martucci said.

Jonathan Hires, a sophomore in mechanical engineering, said the team responded well after getting shut out the night before.

“We came out swinging,” Hires said. “We had a solid win on Fri-day night, last night was a tough loss for us, getting shut out, but it was good that we were able to come together as a team in re-sponse in a game against a tough opponent like that.”

Although the game appeared to be over, Kennesaw State an-swered with two goals of its own and scored the game-winner with just less than a minute left. Kennesaw State would go on to

win the tournament.This wasn’t the first time a

late collapse has killed the Pack. Earlier this year, against league-leading Virginia Tech, State al-lowed an assured overtime berth slip away when it allowed a goal with under a minute left in regu-lation.

“That’s hurt us all season, dy-ing late,” Zefeldt said. “That’s why we called the time-out, try-ing to get everyone calmed down and re-focus our defense. Hope-fully eventually they’ll learn to play 60 minutes instead of 55.”

According to Martucci, the shutout loss to UMBC was “atro-cious.”

“Obviously, it hurts,” Martucci said. “Especially with the types of goals they were — it always sucks, not only to lose a tour-nament you host, but to lose in front of the people who come out to see you.”

Gartrells basket with 19 seconds left in the game brought the team within three.

However, Strachan’s 3-pointer went wide and State left the court with the same result as last Sun-day — so close to catching a top-ranked team but not quite there.

“We’ve stayed in both games against Carolina and Duke and we’ve been given a chance to win,” Glance said. “You can flip a few things on the scoresheet, but our defense is the constant, and thatís very encouraging.”

Chante Black led the Blue Dev-ils in most major categories, to-taling 17 points and 17 rebounds.

Glance said she was not disap-pointed with her team’s effort.

She said the selfless play of Gartrell, Fields and their teammates may be the “trade-mark of the team.”

“They give of themselves just like Coach Yow, who has spent a lifetime giving,” Glance said.

the game could get out of hand if the Devils find ways to cause turnovers and create transition baskets - cuing the already rau-

cous Crazies to erupt into the camera-shaking nightmare that so many teams have fallen vic-tim to.

And as if history wasn’t already calling for a Devils win, State is 16-56 all-time against Duke when the team from Durham is ranked in the top-10.

Still, the players are looking

forward to going full-tilt with one of the nation’s best in the nation’s toughest venue. For the seniors, like Ben McCauley, it will be their last chance to quiet the Crazies.

“I think guys are excited about it,” McCauley said. “It’s a crazy atmosphere but you have to love it.”

Heading to hostile territory Ice hockey hosts 2009 Canes Cup

State enters Cameron in search of first win in Durham since 1995

Ty JohnsonDeputy Sports Editor

The 1994-95 season was a completely different era for men’s basketball in more ways than one.

All of the Wolfpack’s home games were in Reynolds Coliseum and most State fans had no idea who Herb Sendek was, since Les Robinson was still at the helm of the Pack’s basketball program.

And while Robinson’s eighth place fin-ish in the ACC and 12-15 overall record during that season led to his ousting a year later, he was also the last coach of State’s men’s basketball program to walk out of Cameron Indoor Stadium a winner.

A 77-60 win against the Blue Devils Jan. 18 14 years ago was the last time the Pack managed a victory in what’s often billed as the most hostile venue for visiting teams in the nation.

But in this year’s contest, State’s biggest problem may not be the Cameron Crazies.

“Turnovers [have] been our Achilles heel,” coach Sidney Lowe said in a press conference Monday, alluding to his team’s 22 turnovers in Saturday’s win over Geor-gia Tech. “You can’t turn it over against any team.”

If this season’s stats are any sign, though, State will turn the ball over tonight—and often. The Pack has coughed up an aver-age of 19 turnovers a game this year while Duke has forced 17 turnovers per game on average, though Lowe insisted the team just needed to play its game.

“We have to come out and establish ourselves,” Lowe said. “It’s going to be an active game, a physical game.”

But as far as his ever-changing lineup was concerned, Lowe said he wasn’t sure who would make up his starting five in Cameron, especially concerning his for-mer position running the point.

“You never know what the game will dictate,” Lowe said of how many players will see time in tonight’s game, though he said the team’s backcourt situation was

finally shaping up. “[Farnold Degand is] still not 100 percent yet. Julius [Mays] is going to continue to get better, and [Javier Gonza-les] is getting healthy, so from that position I think we almost have three healthy point

The Wolfpack go 1-2 after a weekend of hockey at the RecZone

Kate ShefteSenior Staff Writer

During the 2009 Canes Cup game against Kennesaw State, the ice hockey club players throwing their bodies around on the ice were not the ones at risk; it was the members of the coaching staff that were drop-ping like flies.

With N.C. State head coach David Kurtz home with his wife after welcoming a child two days earlier, a wayward clearing attempt struck assistant coach Kevin Thomas behind the bench, leaving the Pack with only one of its three coaches.

“They were clearing it out of the zone, and it came across the bench,” assistant coach Nicholas Zefeldt, who escaped the game unharmed, said. “He was talk-ing to a player, and he took it off the nose.”

One of Thomas’ players, who wished to remain, nameless to preserve his ice time, said his coach had it coming.

“It is his own fault, he didn’t move,” the player said with a laugh.

Thomas was taken to the hos-pital for stitches, capping off a wild weekend that pitted N.C. State against several tough op-ponents that they don’t face regularly, including University of Maryland-Baltimore County, Rowan College and Rhode Island College.

Beal injured as State loses 61-58 thriller in Reynolds Sunday

Kate ShefteSenior Staff Writer

The women’s basketball team stayed within arm’s length of the No. 4 Duke Blue Devils, but lost 61-58 in over-time. It was the second time in eight days that the Pack lost in overtime to a top-5 opponent.

“I thought we gave a tre-mendous effort,” interim head coach Stephanie Glance said. “To battle like we bat-tled, to be shorthanded once again — it’s just such a credit to this team.”

Senior Shayla Fields fin-ished the game with 20 points and junior Nikitta Gartrell

with 14 points. Glance added that Gartrell did an “unbeliev-able job” defending Duke’s Abby Waner, holding the sharpshooter to only two 3-pointers.

“We really tried to stop Fields, but we did not do that,” Duke head coach Joanne McCallie said. “She and Gartrell created a lot of problems for us.”

Sharnise Beal, who is averag-ing 11.2 points per game, exited Sunday’s matchup after playing only nine minutes. Beal report-edly hit the back of her head on the knee of a photographer while diving for the ball.

“The team doctor was work-ing with her, and at first we thought we might get her back at half time,” Glance said. “She’s starting to show signs of a poten-tial concussion, so [the trainer] could not allow her to play.”

State crushed Duke early, jumping out to a 23-12 lead shortly after the midway point of the first half. With Beal out, sophomore Brittany Strachan logged 30 minutes of playing time.

“We were attacking, and we got a lot of their key players in foul trouble early,” Fields said. “We

were taking good shots and hit-ting them.”

It was Mascot Day at Reynolds Coliseum, and the Carolina Pan-thers’ Sir Purr, Durham Bulls’ Wool E. Bull, N.C. State’s Mr. and Mrs. Wuf, Carolina Mud-cats’ Mudcat, and Carolina Hur-ricanes’ Stormy, among others, participated in a halftime game. There was little dribbling or skill involved, but Mr. Wuf managed to score one of two baskets in the game.

Duke overwhelmed State at the start of the second half. State did not score in first nine minutes, and watched its nine-point lead evaporate quickly. Fields sank a jump shot with 30 seconds re-maining to send the game into overtime.

The Pack went to overtime Jan. 11 against UNC-Chapel Hill and didn’t score until there

was a minute left, but State was not about to make the same mis-takes. The team never trailed by more than five in overtime, and
