The Council of Undergraduate Ed- ucation is in charge of reviewing new courses to be ap- proved for the gen- eral education list every week. The council will be assembling to review a German language course today to determine whether it will remain on the list.

Catherine Freeman, the academic standards coordinator, facilitates the approval process for these courses. Freeman facilitates the approval through both the Council of Under- graduate Education and two of the Provost standing committees, as well as the Courses and Curricula Com- mittee. “A new course has to meet the ob- jectives for the general education cat- egory that it is requesting placement on, and those were developed by the Council of Undergraduate Educa- tion,” Freeman said. General education courses offer some undecided students the ability to find their interests; however, students who enter the uni- versity with a grad- uation plan might also be annoyed by having to take these expensive courses which are unrelated to students’ majors. Over the next five years, the cost of tuition is expected to be raised by $1,500. This means students will be required to pay even more for these classes that often have little to do with their major. “This is a university; it’s not a tech- nical school.

Elise Heglar News Editor Underage drinkers in Raleigh may be re-thinking their partying habits after a highly publicized DWI case. Garrett Prince, a 16-year-old Mill- brook student, has been charged with a DWI and a provisional DWI after crashing his Jeep on Dec. 31. Fellow student Elizabeth Molloy, 17, was killed in the crash. Molloy was the only passenger in the vehicle at the time of the crash. “Since he is un- derage for legal consumption, any amount of alcohol in his system is il- legal,” Jim Sughrue, director of public af- fairs for the Raleigh Police Department, said. In addition to being charged with drunk driving, Prince is also facing charges for the follows: the felony of death by motor vehicle, careless and reckless driving, having an open con- tainer of liquor, speeding and posses- sion of marijuana. According to Sughrue, the ages of those involved may have had some- thing to do with the accident. “People who are underage are more likely to make mistakes with alcohol. Not that people who are of age don’t, but underage people are more likely to,” Sughrue said. Prince is not the only person facing charges in this case. Anthony Du Juan Geter, 21, has been charged with four counts of purchasing alcohol for a mi- nor; he allegedly supplied two bottles of 1.75 liter of Bacardi Dragon Berry the night of the crash. “He could face criminal penalties and civil liabilities. Those charges will be determined by the state,” Sughrue said. Sughrue suggested that this could serve as a cautionary tale to those who wish to consume alcohol underage. Despite this, some people, such as Matt Bass, junior in civil engineering, will not change their alcohol habits. Bass said that despite a potential threat of charges for the person buy- ing, he would still be willing to ask people who are of age to purchase his alcohol; he insists being care- ful is all that is required. “I’d probably still do it. I trust my- self to be careful and responsible and I would never give up the name of any- one who bought something for me, no matter what,” Bass said. Bass went on to say that he has driv- en after drinking in the past, though he does not consider his actions to be drunk driving. “I judge it by how I feel, not by how many drinks I’ve had.

General education courses come under examination by councilIn the light of recent budget cuts, students weigh tuition against often unnecessary gen ed classes

Lauren VanderveenStaff Writer

General education requirements have proven to be useful for some students, despite rising tuition costs and a growing need to graduate early.

The Council of Undergraduate Ed-ucation is in charge of reviewing new courses to be ap-proved for the gen-eral education list every week.

The council will be assembling to review a German language course today to determine whether it will remain on the list. Two new courses--Masterpieces of Classical Literature, and Gender Ethnicity, and Identity in the Ancient World--will also be examined as potential addi-tions to the list.

Catherine Freeman, the academic standards coordinator, facilitates the approval process for these courses. Freeman facilitates the approval through both the Council of Under-

graduate Education and two of the Provost standing committees, as well as the Courses and Curricula Com-mittee.

“A new course has to meet the ob-jectives for the general education cat-egory that it is requesting placement on, and those were developed by the Council of Undergraduate Educa-tion,” Freeman said.

General education courses offer some undecided students the ability to find their interests; however, students

who enter the uni-versity with a grad-uation plan might also be annoyed by having to take these expensive courses which are unrelated to students’ majors.

Over the next five years, the cost of tuition is expected to be raised by $1,500. This means students will be required to pay even more for these classes that often have little to do with their major.

Snoopy’s is a cornerstone of Raleigh tradition, with colorful personalities and cheap homemade food.

Katie SandersStaff Writer

The very first Snoopy’s started in a gas station, and the food was home-cooked. Now there are five different restaurants, and the little franchise has become a Raleigh tra-dition.

Steve Webb grew up in Raleigh while his father worked printing Technician at the State College, N.C. State’s name prior to 1963. He became a student at N.C. State himself. After he left he started a little restaurant he called Snoopy’s. It first opened in 1978, said Webb, who opened it for only $6,000.

Snoopy’s was completely a home-grown business. Webb started off as the cook using his home utensils, having learned from working at his uncle’s barbeque restaurant.

“I had a house refrigerator and a chest freezer,” Webb said.

The restaurant was an immedi-

ate success.“The first day they lined up to the

Underage Raleigh student faces

Underage drinkers in Raleigh may be re-thinking their partying habits after a highly publicized DWI case.

were bought and modified because the rent was cheap and the crowd was good, ac-cording to Steve Webb.

“We’ve always enjoyed the business from N.C. State, especially after the ball games,” Sarah Webb said.

They get a good nigh crowd from the University too.

“We call it the bar rush; the bars close at 2 a.m., so we figure we’ll stay open to at least 3 a.m. It’s enter-taining just to people-watch there,” Larry Cerilli, one of the new owners of Snoopy’s, said.

The Webbs are currently in the process of “passing the baton,” as they put it, to two new owners, Larry and Casey Cerilli. Casey Cerilli grew up in Raleigh, and her love of Snoopy’s and her friendship with the owners got the Cerilli’s involved. They were con-

vinced to partner up in the business when they realized how many people in Raleigh knew about and habitually went to Snoopy’s.

“I think the coolest thing I ever see is a mom and dad with their kid and the tailgate down in the truck, sharing a hotdog, fries and soda,” Larry Cerilli said. “[The store has] memories of what someone might have done in college or growing up.”

Even though the restaurant has expanded, it has managed to keep its family-style feel, both for the customers and the employees.

“I brought my children here, and now we’re bringing our grandchildren here,” said Robin Godwin, a stay-at-home mother. She said she’s been eat-ing there since 1978.

“My parent’s ate at Snoopy’s when they were going to school,” Max Lewis, a fresh-man in material science and engineering, said. He likes the hotdogs, but went more be-cause of the family ties.

“We just have fun. We really do,” said Gabe Bird, the man-

ager of the Snoopy’s on Hills-borough Street. He called back over his shoulder to the cooks and other employees, “We have fun right?” and was met with a chorus of whoops, laughter and a few jokes at his expense.

a medication that may be very expensive, so wasting it is a big issue. It might be a medication that is commonly on shortage, so they want to make sure they have the optimal amount on re-serve at all times,” Vila-Parish said.

Working with Purdue Uni-versity’s school of pharmacy on a case study, the research team has retrieved specif ic data that will allow them to predict demand based on the number of patients at the hospital in-volved in the study. Currently, they are looking to get N.C. State students involved as well.

“Right now we are hoping to get some funding so that we can involve graduate and un-dergraduate students to work with us in developing more models and working with data sets,” Vila-Parish said.

While their goals involve de-creasing pharmaceutical waste

in hospitals, healthcare is also a focus.

“The healthcare system is also a focus for us, we offer a certification in that area and those who do that program get an internship at a hospital in an efficiency project such as optimizing scheduling models and staffing methods,” Vila-Parish said.

She is looking forward to working in the area. It’s an

area where we are very ex-cited to be and the fact that we are making a contribution to someone’s life is in gen-eral very ap-pealing,” Dr

Vila-Parish saidDr. Brian Denton, associate

professor in industrial engi-neering, said that his part of the research looks to design optimal solutions that can be used in treatment of diseases like heart attacks, strokes and cancer.

“The research we are doing involves the use of industrial and systems engineering meth-ods to help improve medical

decision making,” Denton said. “My research group is working on a number of different proj-ects, including the develop-ment of computational models for optimization of treatment decisions to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, and models for designing meth-ods that use diagnostic tests to screen for cancer.”

Denton added that current-ly, N.C. State students both at undergraduate and graduate levels are involved in the re-search. Knowledge of opera-tions research, computers and math is needed in order to solve such a problem, according to Denton.

Jennifer Mason, PhD student working under Dr. Denton, said that she focuses on help-ing diabetes patients.

“My dissertation is looking at optimal treatment of diabe-tes patients based on their age, gender and also their probabil-ity of facing adverse events like heart attacks,” Mason said.

She added that industrial engineers are involved in the process, as they can apply tra-ditional methods of manufac-turing to healthcare problems.

academic program, said. “The mathematicians can speak with philosophers; the philosophers can speak to the agriculturists.”

The latest revision of the gen-eral education program has it reduced to only 39 hours now, according to Freeman.

“I think general education re-quirements are a good thing, just for the simple fact that you can’t specialize in one thing and not know anything about anything else,” Caroline Hig-gins, a freshman in business administration with a market-ing concentration, said.

Most students utilize the pro-cess of having a course double-count to save money and credit hours.

“If you’re in math or science, all the science courses, all the math courses that you take as part of your major, in most cases, will count toward gen-eral education,” Ambrose said. “The courses on the other side of campus, so to speak, the hu-manities and social sciences, will have the same arrange-ment.”

The number of extra courses required for students are usu-ally between 20 to 25 credit hours, Ambrose added.

Mahogany Woods, a senior in international studies, ques-tioned their relevancy.

“I don’t always enjoy [general education courses] because some of them I’m not interest-ed in, such as chemistry; I hate periodic tables and things like

that,” Woods said. “I don’t think I’ll ever use it in my major. Some make you well-rounded, and some are just a waste of time.”

The additional breadth category, however, cannot be used to double count a course; it forces engineer-ing students to actually take that humanities course, Freeman said.

“I don’t mind that I have to do that. I’m happy with the fact that I have to take other classes that aren’t in my intended major because I like learning about new things,” Higgins said.

According to Ambrose, close looks at employer surveys indicated that N.C. State students are preferred over others in the research triangle.

“Sixty-five percent of the employers, they were saying N.C. State is the first choice for hiring students. Not Duke, not Wake Forest, not Chapel Hill, but N.C. State,” Ambrose said. “They want a student that has a disciplin-ary background, but they also want a student that’s broadly educated, so general education actually improves your job prospects.”

All of the Council of Undergraduate Education meetings are open for stu-dents to attend.

Friday’s meeting will take place in Park Shops, Room 200.

Bass also said he does not believed Geter deserves to be charged with anything in rela-tion to the crash.

“He had no control over how it was used or what people did; it’s not like he was there. I could see being in trouble for buying it, but nothing besides that,” Bass said.

Aaron Melton, senior in sci-ence education, had a differ-ent opinion about the charges. Melton, who is over 21 himself, said that he would personally not buy alcohol for underage people due to the possibility of being charged.

“No, I wouldn’t buy alcohol for anyone. There’s too much risk involved,” Melton said.

While Melton maintained that he would not purchase any alcohol for underage people, he did say people who want to drink underage will most likely find a way to do it.

“People today just want to drink, and they’ll do any-thing to get their hands on it,” Melton said.

Sughrue said he hopes people can take something positive from this negative event.

“It was certainly a tragic event, and if any good can come from it, it would be that it would help somebody else reconsider their decisions,” Sughrue said.

{ }Our view

This week, 21-year-old Anthony Du Juan Cart-er was charged with

buying alcohol for two minors who are juniors at Millbrook High School. Garrett Prince, one of the students, crashed his car while speeding. He has been charged with drinking and driving, a felony of death by vehicle, careless and reck-less driving, having an open container of liquid, speed, and possession of marijuana. His passenger, Elizabeth Malloy, died from injuries pertaining to the crash. This unfortu-nate situation could have eas-ily been avoided had those in-volved been following the law and taken safety measures.

The problem could have been avoided entirely if Carter

had been following the law. Anyone who is of the legal drinking age is not allowed to buy alcohol for minors. That’s the law. Even though purchas-ing alcohol for minors may seem harmless, consequences can be severe if something like this were to happen. We advise N.C. State students to avoid buying alcohol for their friends or siblings under the age of 21 in order to prevent possible accidents like this.

Of course, Carter didn’t fol-low the law, but there are still ways this problem could have been avoided. The students should not have been drink-

ing if they were under the age of 21. Regardless of that be-ing against the law, they made some poor choices after drink-ing.

If you’re drinking, then a ride should already be arranged to take you home. Even if you’re 21 or older, drinking and driv-ing is illegal. You could put your life in danger as well as the lives of your passengers and other people on the road. If you’re going to drink, be smart about it and don’t drive.

Also, don’t get in a car with anyone who is drunk and planning on driving. Even if that person seems capable of

driving, it’s safer to avoid the situation entirely. One thing you could do is make sure someone sober has your and your friends’ keys before you start drinking. By doing this, you will ensure you don’t drive drunk, even if it seems like a good idea at the time.

The loss of Elizabeth Malloy, a teenager, is extremely unfor-tunate, and our thoughts are with her family at this time. But this accident didn’t have to happen. By following the law and taking extra measures to ensure your and your friends’ safety, you can have a good time without worrying about unfortunate consequences.

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.

Be safe and follow the lawThe FacTs:This week, Anthony Du Juan Carter was charged with buying alcohol for minors, two students at Millbrook High School. Garrett Prince, one of the students, crashed his car while drinking and driving. Due to the accident, his passenger, Elizabeth Malloy, died.

Individual elections, global change

Hello, 2012. Isn’t it a bit too late for that? Yes it is, but this be-

ing my first article for Tech-nician this year, I couldn’t think of a more natural way

to start my column.

It’s three weeks into the semes-te r now, and hardly anything feels new. Everyone is back to long nights,

tiring classes, mechanical routines and spontane-ous bursts of anger, hun-ger, sleep and frustration. Things have largely fallen into place for us as we slowly fall back into our routines this semester.

Yet there is something new: 2012 is set to be the year of global change, or collapse, depending on the events that play out in the months ahead.

Starting this March, the leadership of at least five major countries of the world will be up for grabs. Presidential elections are scheduled this year for Rus-sia, France and the United States. China is set to receive a change in leadership—a formal exercise that takes place only once in 10 years. India will see a crucial round of state elections.

It’s indeed rare to have a con-f luence of such major global events, all set to happen with-in a few months of each other. These elections will directly impact 3.07 billion people—nearly half the earth’s popula-tion—and millions of others indirectly. Given how globally interconnected people’s lives are today, one could propose that these five elections have the power to impact almost every individual on earth.

Historically, great crises have produced great leaders, but sadly, the crisis of 2008 has shown the frailty of the current global leadership. Despite the U.S.’s economic crisis spread-ing throughout the world, response was at best national or regional. Up until last year, people in Europe were unwill-ing to settle their differences for the sake of preserving the Union.

Globally, leaders need to ac-cept the fact that a nation’s des-tiny is no longer based solely on government’s choices, but also on those of other nations.

This interlinking of destinies is a result of modern technolo-gy and production techniques, both of which serve to bring people across the globe closer to each other. This linkage has improved the lives of millions of people and also exposed them to risks alien to them in the past.

Around the world, things seem to be average just about everywhere—there is no place

showing exceptional recov-ery or any showing contin-ued loss. This is what hap-pens when the leaders of the world’s nations don’t learn from past mistakes and continue to carry their beliefs and prejudices into the future.

A lot of what happens in the months and years ahead will depend on two things: The aspirations and atti-tudes of the people around the world, and the leader-ship of people in power. With the future of billions hanging in the hands of a select few, one can only wish for those hands to make the right decisions.

Finally, any article con-cerning 2012 is incomplete without invoking talk of the Mayans; we all know they’ve predicted the lifes-pan of humanity down to the last day, in the year 2012. And I think the Ma-yans may have even been right.

2012 promises to be the end of the world or, at least the world as we know it. I hope the new world will be brave and bold enough to stand on a mountain of glo-ry rather than errors. I hope we create a better, more eq-uitable future for ourselves instead of remaining apes.

Who knows what will happen? We can only wait, watch and hope.

Living in the shadowsWe’ve all experienced

t hat fee l i ng of knowing that one

day, when it’s all said and done, we’ll be compared to someone in our family. Our parents will

never come right out and say, “Oh why c a n ’t y o u be like your older broth-er.” Or, “Your sister did well i n s chool , so why can’t you?” They d o n ’t s a y

these things because our par-ents want us to feel good about ourselves and what we’re do-ing. But we all know, in the back of their heads, that they want their kids to be as suc-cessful as the ones before and those after.

In some ways I believe our parents put us in a competition to see which child can accom-plish most become the most successful. I know this very well. It’s never spoken of in my family, but my siblings and I know there clearly is a contest to make our parents the most proud. We each try to set the bar higher than the last to prove to our parents that w e ’r e t h e smartest, or most athletic, in the family.

I t w a s watching my eldest sister re-ceiving her Master’s degree when I finally noticed how proud my father was at that moment. I f inally realized that to get the same reaction from my father, I have to do something just as great or even better.

I’d have a long way to go if I started comparing myself to my sister. She’s has a master’s degree in the medical field, a family of her own, and works at a very well-known hospital. I have some seriously big shoes to fill in what seems like a short amount of time.

What makes it even worse--and I’m sure plenty of y‘all can understand my pain--is that I’m the youngest. People don’t expect you to be as suc-cessful as your siblings because

you’re used to being “babied” your whole life. This is espe-cially a problem when your parents excuse any mistakes you may make because you’re the “baby.” And when you’re the baby, it’s okay.

But in my family it’s not okay to screw up just because you’re the baby. It makes me want to work 10 times harder to prove to everyone—espe-cially my siblings—that I’m capable of doing bigger and better things than all of them combined. You may think I’m this selfish person who only wants to brag about how obviously better I am than my siblings, but that’s far from the case. Instead, I just want to verify that I need no one to hold my hand in order to do great things.

I’m sure we all have one sib-ling in our family who’s glo-rified as though he or she is a superstar who could do no wrong. We seem to be mere-ly average in the eyes of our parents and to the rest of the family. There always seems to

be an older brother or sister who’s b e e n d e -c l a r e d a “ beast” at academics or the star of the football field, and the younger sib-ling is simply the child that gets decent grades and never really shines at any sport.

Yes, I un-derstand that I go to N.C. State and that is a great accomplish-ment in and of itself, but look-ing at the big picture and how much unintentional pressure my other siblings have placed on me, attending N.C. State is something expected of me rather than an accomplish-ment to those in my family.

Obviously they gave me credit where credit was due, but they and I expect much more from myself than just a BA degree in communication. Because I know that, I’ll just have to do better. There is no way around the shadow of my older siblings.

Infatuated with music worlds apart, Trailer Trash Tracys creates a passive and eclectic debut.

By John MitchellAssistant Music Director, WKNC-FM

In reality, music is just a sum of its influences. What makes a particular artist, album, or song great is how these influ-ences are pushed together. On Trailer Trash Tracys’ debut album, Ester, the quartet pulls from a myriad of different ar-eas to create beautifully mean-dering collage-pop.

Recently, there’s been a push to maximize the use of reverb to create a full sound. Reverb has effectively become a uni-versal, musical duct tape: it holds together the ambience on a Grouper track, and pulls Lil B’s voice out of the mix on “I’m God.” On Ester, Trailer Trash Tracys use reverb for an entire-ly different purpose--to act as the base for adding sounds that otherwise would clash when pieced to-gether.

On the al-bum’s open-er, “Rolling-K i s s t h e Universe,” t he ba nd employs de-constructed drum fills, wandering vocals and some very strange electronic pulsa-tions. What’s really interest-ing is that this other-worldly intro leads into a guitar riff that could find itself on a Bruce

Springsteen song, and it does it rather well.

On Ester, there are also toy-like electronic pangs in “Dies

in 55,” exces-sive delay on “Black Circle” and techni-ca l gu itar-tappi ng i n “Engelhardt’s Arizona.” There’s also “Candy Girl,” which plays

out as minimalist shoegaze. The solfeggio scale that was used in the composition of the album itself is a bit of an odd-ity, as it’s rarely seen in Western music.

It’s incredible that none of the tracks on Ester feel out of place, nor does it feel like Trailer Trash Tracys are ever trying too hard. In fact, I get the impres-sion that the band does not care about how the listener feels; it’s like Ester was created as a trib-ute to the expression of music in the general sense.

Recent cases of animal hoarding in Wake County draw a distinction between love and mental illness.

Sarah MaxwellStaff Writer

A stereotypical animal hoarder is usually a single, middle-aged woman who lives alone with her cats. In reality, there are no specific characteristics that classify hoarders – except that they sometimes house more ani-mals than they can possibly sustain.

The Hoarding of Ani-mals Research Consortium (HARC) has defined the term “animal hoarding”; It describes any individual who has acquired more than the typical number of companion animals, fails to provide adequate living conditions, and consistently denies his or her own failure to do so.

Two cases of animal hoarding were discovered in Wake County in June; One involved a man who had acquired 34 dogs, while the other situation involved a woman who shared her home with 29 cats. Animal Planet made arrangements to feature the two cases in its series, Confessions: Animal Hoarders. The dog-hoarding episode airs tonight at 10 p.m. and the cat-hoarding episode airs Feb. 10 at 10 p.m.

Animal Planet represen-tatives contacted the So-ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) of Wake County to remove the animals from the prop-erties.

“This is our first time participating in a rescue with Animal Planet,” Darci VanderSlik, SPCA’s com-munity outreach coordina-tor, said. She explained that the premise of the series is to have the hoarders turn the animals over on their own free will in exchange for psychological interven-tion and help regaining control of their lives.

Upon arriving at the properties to obtain the animals, SPCA staff mem-

bers had their work cut out for them.

“Dogs were in and around the house, kept together in pens or chained to trees or the ground,” VanderSlik said. The dogs were thin but not emaciated.

“It was obvious that he went to great lengths to feed his dogs,” VanderSlik said. “Even if that meant going out to get roadkill.” One dog, Max, had broken his leg. The owner, un-able to afford appropriate vet care for the dog, had created a homemade splint in an effort to heal the bone.

The woman who owned 29 cats also seemed to care a great dea l about her pets, ac-cording to VanderS-lik. “All of her cats had been fixed,” VanderSlik s a i d . T h e woman had done all she knew to do to care for her cats but had simply become over-whelmed, providing less than ideal living conditions for these felines.

After being rescued, the cats were taken to the SPCA and given up for adoption. Only two cats, Winslow and Winnie, have yet to find a loving home.

Most of the dogs are being adopted as well. Many had to undergo behavioral modifica-tion treatment as the lack of interaction with humans and life on a chain has left them unsociable.

Although unable to provide adequate living conditions for his canines, the man exhibited a great deal of love for them, VanderSlik said.

“He was very attached to the dogs,” VanderSilk said. “Yes, [hoarding] is a mental illness, but he tried his hardest and just became overwhelmed.”

Kelli Ferris, professor of clin-ical sciences at NC State, has

a dif ferent perspective on animal hoarders’ motiva-t ion . S he said hoard-ing is an ef-fort to f i l l some void in their lives a nd mu st be treated as a mental health issue.

“The ani-mals make them feel good in some way,” Ferris said. “But they have no insight or empa-thy to the conditions that the animals are living in.”

Hoarders acquire a greater number of animals than they are capable, emotionally or

monetarily, of caring for. They’re unable to provide ad-equate living conditions, ample nutrition, or quality medical care for their pets.

Ferris trains animal con-trol officers to deal with ani-mal hoarding situations. In her experience, she has seen as many as 600 animals on a single property and has dealt with a variety of species, from horses to parrots. She has ob-served many individuals who, upon giving up their pets, later relapsed and resorted to animal hoarding again.

“No matter what the motiva-tion, there is a recidivism rate of nearly 100 percent,” Ferris said, meaning hoarders will hoard again unless prevented by some legal action.

According to HARC, “ani-mal hoarding is likely a final common pathway from a va-riety of traumatic experiences which result in dysfunctional attachment styles in people and lead to compulsive and addic-tive behavior.”

In other words, animal hoarding is gaining recogni-tion as a mental disorder. But are hoarders capable of loving the animals they accumulate?

VanderSlik thinks so.“Most hoarders really love

their animals and surrender them of their own accord,” she said. “They know that that’s what is best for them.”

Animal hoarding: loving them to death

Bringing everything together

Trailer Trash Tracysdomino recording Company

Local artist and is combining folk with experimental indie pop and is succeeding.

James HatfieldSenior Staff Writer

Employing each other’s dis-tinct talents, Maria Albani and Reid Johnson worked together to star in their two bands, each with inverted roles.

Organos is a project started by Albani, a veteran to the triangle music culture. She’s played in bands since the ‘90s, and continues to write, play and record music. She will be featured the first night of the Double Barrel Benefit to show-case her unique standpoint in her genre.

After being in several proj-ects, Albani started writing her own tunes. Having recorded what would be Organos’ mu-sic all by herself, she was asked to showcase it to the public at different shows and events.

“There was a while when I wasn’t playing with anyone, I was just by myself,” Albani said. “I would just make up stuff and record on my own. Then I was asked to play live and I had to ask people to help me because I couldn’t play all the instruments by myself.”

After Albani began making a name for herself in the tri-angle area, people volunteered to be a part of the new proj-ect. The lineup of Annie Chu, Reid Johnson, John Harrison and Nathan Oliver, who’ve all played or still play in other bands, make Organos a Fran-kenstein of a music group.

Albani is experienced in mul-titasking, in the sense that she plays with both bands and nei-ther are side projects. She’s also a vital part of the band Schoo-ner, thus making time for both. Johnson, part of Organos and the lead-singer of Schooner, also has this same multitask-ing persona, making it easier to manage the schedules of both bands.

“[The schedules] between Organos and Schooner [never conflict],” Albani said. “We just always know what’s going on because we’re in each others’ bands; we share calendars and check.”

Many of the other members of Schooner are also involved

in other projects. For example, John Harrison plays for North Elementary, and many of the members play in different projects as well. Although this multi-project involvement may seem confusing, they all seem to keep each other’s work sepa-rate. This is especially impor-tant for Albani and Johnson, who are both songwriters for their respective projects.

Natural ly, if two bands are made up of some of the same members, the possibil-ity of sharing songs wouldn’t be a far-fetched idea, but this doesn’t happen with Albani and Johnson.

“It’s the same reason Reid wouldn’t give me a Schooner song for Organos, it’s just too different, and they’re personal; they’re personal to me and I want them done a certain way,” Albani said. “I started doing the Organos stuff before I was in Schooner officially…they exist exclusively of each other. That’s the main thing I get out of it. It’s my thing, that’s my project.”

With the release of a Schoo-ner and an Organos album coming soon, the workload doesn’t seem like an issue. Organos’ new album is now leaked on Vimeo with music videos made for each song by separate filmmakers. The al-bum will have guests such as Julian Brown from Feist, and is expected to have a remix done by Broken Social Scene’s An-drew Whiteman.

The band is more than ex-cited to play in the Double Barrel Benefit, put together by WKNC. “In fact I offered to do it last year,” Albani said. “It was right around when my first re-cord was releasing; I was doing some booking for other bands and they booked The Old Cer-emony. It’s such an awesome event.”

WKNC’s 9th annual Double Barrel Benefit is scheduled for Feb. 3 and Feb. 4 at the Pour House Music Hall in Raleigh.

The new chocolate factory opened in The Depot in down-town Raleigh on Dec. 16 and has been sharing the delights of handcrafted chocolate ever since.

Sam Ratto is the man behind the chocolate bar — Videri’s very own Willy Wonka. While working at another place in Raleigh, he became involved in sorting and roasting the cocoa beans, which led to him to blending his own batches of chocolate. He enjoyed the new hobby, and those who tasted the chocolate enjoyed it as well. A year later he opened up Videri Chocolate Factory with his wife and other business partners.

“The word ‘video’ comes from the Latin word ‘videri,’ and for people to be able to see the process of how the choco-late is made was important to us,” Ratto said. “That’s how we came up with the name Videri Chocolate Factory.”

Thad Paulson, an employee at Videri, explained how the chocolate is made.

“It’s all made in house every step of the w ay, f rom bean to bar,” Paulson said. “All of our cocoa beans are fair trade and organic. We also use organic cocoa butter and or-ganic sugar; nothing else is added, unless it’s a special ingredient, such as sea salt or pink peppercorn.”

“We have a year’s worth of beans in the store. Every bean goes through our hands at some point. We roast and win-now the beans right here. The winnower separates the nib from the rest of the bean and the nib is where all the oils and

flavors are. The nib gets ground up and then the cocoa butter and sugar gets added.

“It spends a few days in the grinder, and when the mixture is good, we spatula it into a bin to cool, seal them up and let it set for a few weeks to settle and let the flavors emulsify. When we’re ready, we heat up the chocolate back into a liquid and put it into the molds. Then we cool it off, take it out and wrap it up,” Paulson said.

Videri offers four year-round flavors: 70 percent classic dark chocolate, dark milk chocolate with 50 to 55 percent cocoa, 60

percent dark chocolate with sea salt sprinkled on top and 60 percent dark chocolate w i t h p i n k peppercorn. T h e y a l s o m a ke s e a-sonal flavors, such as the

candy cane and 60 percent dark chocolate bar they made for the holiday season.

“It’s really cool to make chocolate from scratch; we fo-cus in on quality and specific tastes.” Ratto said. “We’re more focused on making five great things than trying to make 75 products. We want to make the best chocolate we can make be-

fore expanding into the realm of truffles, ganaches etc.”

Ratto’s quality-over-quantity maxim has proven to be a suc-cessful one. Videri sold out three times between Dec. 16 and Christmas Day and busi-ness doesn’t seem to be slow-ing down. Videri has plans to add in a coffee counter with a barista shortly after Valen-tine’s Day. Videri is a BYOB facility, and Ratto encourages people to bring a friend, date or group and hang out and enjoy the chocolate.

Word about the new choco-late factory in Raleigh has spread among N.C. State stu-dents and has been met with excitement.

“I love chocolate, especially dark chocolate, so for there to be a place in Raleigh where you can watch it be made and really get to see the entire process is really cool,” Loretta Stinson, a senior in business administra-tion, said. “It’s great that Ra-leigh now has something like this.”

“Making chocolate sort of makes you feel like a kid again,” Ratto said. “Although maybe not the part where you have to pick up a 150-lb bag of cocoa beans.”

Stage 2: Roasted Cocoa BeansSorted beans are run through a modified old-fashioned coffee bean roaster.

Stage 3: Nib (top) and Husk (bottom)Roasted beans are ground and run through a vacuum-driven machine called a winnower. This machine separates nib, the part used in the chocolate making process, from the husk, the excess parts of the bean. Nib is then ground again and mixed with cocoa butter, milk powder and sugar to form a liquid chocolate that is packaged in vacuum-sealed bags for aging. Aged chocolate is then run through a tempering machine, placed into molds, and refrigerated.

“We really focused on how to get open and individual box-outs. Now we just need to focus on the team, how to work together. We have a few tricks up our sleeves this week that I think we are go-ing to come out and do really well at.”

Having a coach-like mind-set with the absence of a

coach is an essential part to a team’s success, both on and off the court.

“Coach Harper has done a great job instilling in us that in-tensity is important, no matter what,” Kastanek said. “Wheth-er you are playing a game of knock-out, practicing with or without Coach [Harper], we must have intensity. We hon-estly thought Coach [Harper] was recruiting, so our spirits never got down. Today, we are going to practice really hard and keep the intensity up, be-cause if we don’t, Florida State has one up on us.”

For the Seminoles, on the other hand, two strong for-wards could result in a chal-lenge for the Wolfpack.

“We expect them to have a great post game,” Kastanek said. “They have a seasoned post player and a young post player. The three guards work together very well. Florida State is a very solid team.”

In order to stop the post dominance from the Semi-noles, senior forward Bonae Holston will have to get the job done down low in the paint in order for a successful night for State.

“We just had to work on us as a team, doing the things that we were having issues with,” Holston said. “When we play games so close together, we get more worried about the oppo-nent than the stuff we actually need to work on. It was nice to have time this week to improve on our game. As for me, I just need to make myself available more often. It has been differ-ent without Coach [Harper] here though. She is the leader of practice.”

Tip-off is set for 6:30 p.m. tonight at Reynolds Coliseum.

going to destroy them, its just going to make it that much better.”

Hurdle, who was named to the All-ACC academic team last year, felt the new coaching staff was responsible for turn-ing around the team; the staff turned things around after the team found itself ranked for the second time this season, hav-ing also been ranked 19th in November.

“They are a lot more seri-ous,” Hurdle said. “With the new head coach, you need to be doing your best . They also make it more com-petitive to get on the ACC team.

“The coaches set an atmosphere like that and we follow it.”

First-year head coach Braden Holloway felt his team was fo-cused on doing well in the ACC championships and would use the weekend’s meets as a step-ping-stone for the same.

“All our preparations are geared towards the ACC championships,” Holloway said. “These are just building blocks along the way, providing great competition and giving us more chances to practice our race strategies.

“These help make each indi-vidual execute their race better each time they do it, so by the end of the year, they are ready to go.”

Holloway felt he was happy with the way things had gone in his first year in charge of the Pack.

“I feel good about the first year,” Holloway said. “I think there’s still a lot of changes I want to implement, a couple of other new items that I would like to bring forth in front of the team but I think for the first year, they have really taken well to the staff.

“They have showed a great level of interest in the new things the staff has brought to them and I think they have created a high level of motiva-

tion that has real ly car-r ied them through the year,” Hollo-way added. ”They are showing a lot of pas-sion, a lot of desire and fire and that has helped

us achieve what we have.”Holloway said he was

implementing a long-term strategy to improve the team.

“The most important thing I want to finish this year with is coming off and doing well in the conference champi-onships,” Holloway said. “It basically sets them up for next year to want even more and demand even more out of themselves and reach even higher levels than they thought were possible.”

The Pack will take on Clemson at the Willis R. Casey Aquatic Center at 5 p.m. on Friday and will square off against UNC at 11 a.m. on Saturday.

buzzer beater that cut the Tar Heels lead to 37-23 going into the locker room at halftime.

State continued to struggle in the second half as Caro-lina increased their lead to 21 points just five minutes in. Although the Wolfpack managed to bank in a number of three-pointers, its shooting percentage remained low.

Junior forward Richard Howell only had the oppor-tunity to play 16 minutes due to physicality that led him to foul out with 8:35 left to go. He finished the game with 8 points and 1 rebound. Scott Wood was the only State play-er to score in double digits with 11 points.

State’s four of their next six games will be on the road, but with this disappointing loss under its belt, N.C. State will be back in action on Saturday when it takes on Virginia at

home in the RBC Center. Tip-off is at 8 p.m.

“I like my team, we have battled from day one and I believe we will keep battling,”

Gottfried said. “Tonight was disappointing, and we all agree, but I like my team and we have to go get ourselves ready to play against Virginia.”

Pack-Seminoles stage set for showdown today.

Adam LutherStaff Writer

The women’s basketball team for the Wolfpack is scheduled to battle Friday night against the Seminoles of Florida State at Reyn-olds Coliseum in a regular season ACC mid-season match-up.

The Pack had just come off a loss to conference and legendary rival, the UNC Tar Heels, and looks to avenge the loss on Friday.

The Wolfpack is currently ranked 7th in the Atlantic Coast Conference stand-ings and their opponent is ranked 8th. Both teams have an even conference record standing at 3-4 on the regular season thus far. Overall, State’s record holds two more wins and three fewer losses than the

Seminoles.The Seminoles had just come

off a loss against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Sun-day with a final score of 79-55. Having both teams come off a loss means the stakes are much greater for both of these teams as the winner will clinch the 7th spot in the ACC standings.

After the Pack’s loss to UNC on Sunday, Coach Kellie Harp-er’s father passed away later that night. Harper was unable to attend practice all week, and according to junior guard Ma-rissa Kastanek, the basketball team missed her absence but continued to work hard on the court to improve each player’s individual game.

“The Monday after we played Carolina, we focused on indi-vidual stuff and just how we can get better,” Kastanek said. “We worked on breaking down plays, just know exactly what

Squad unable to execute win over in-state rivals.

Rebecca Fiorentino & Kyle McMahanSenior Staff Writer & Staff Writer

In a halftime interview, while trailing by 14 points, men’s basketball coach Mark Gottfried said his team needed to show “more poise.”

They did not, however, get any better in the second half.

After a victory over Miami on Sunday, everyone around N.C. State had Carolina on their mind. With poor shooting a nd re -bounding, the Pack fell to the Heels, 74-55, Thurs-day night i n t h e Dean E. Smith Center.

N.C. State (15-6, 4-2 ACC) went to Chapel Hill tied for first in the ACC ahead of UNC (17-3, 4-1 ACC) but the Pack was not able to

withhold the size and quick-ness of players like Tyler Zeller, who has height in his favor and ended the night carrying the team with a career-high 17 re-bounds and 21 points. This loss was the 11th in a row with the Tar Heels, something Gottfried

hopes to learn from.

Gottfried had conf i-dence t hat his team was prepared physically and mentally

for the collision of the in-state rivalry and Roy Williams’ team had a whole week to prepare for Thursday night’s game after losing their designated defend-er and guard Dexter Strickland

to a knee injury.“I thought they were really

prepared for us; we’ve played 21 games now and tonight we did not have the poise offensively,” Gottfried said. “They’re good at blocking shots and they’re bigger than we are and I think that’s where we got frustrated.”

Carolina held the Pack to

36.8 percent shooting and 45 percent from beyond the arch. State’s only lead came only a minute into the game. The Wolfpack committed 5 turn-overs in the first ten minutes of the game.

Sophomore forward Calvin Leslie led the team with eight rebounds but in the grand

spectrum of the game, State was out-rebounded, 48-26.

After pounding the Wolfpack in the paint, UNC went on a 10-0 run to finish the first half. The only highlight of the game was sophomore guard Lorenzo Brown’s remarkable half-court

Harper, squad seek

recovery from rivalry lossSwimming & diving will compete at home and in Chapel-Hill in upcoming weekend.

Rishav DeyDeputy Sports Editor

The N.C. State men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will meet Clemson at home and trav-el to Chapel Hill to take on North Carolina this week-end.

The men’s team (7-1, 4-1 ACC) is ranked No. 23 in the nation. They’ll be cele-brating senior night against the Tigers and will be one of three State teams compet-ing in Chapel Hill this week. They’ll face a UNC team ranked 13th and 16th, re-spectively, in the men’s and women’s categories.

Senior Erica Waters of the women’s team felt the squad was ready for the challenges

it would face that weekend.“After training a lot, we’ve

been practicing less and our bodies have kind of recovered for the meet,” Waters said. “We should swim really fast.”

Waters, who was part of the team t h a t w o n against Geor-gia Tech two week s ago, felt they were facing tough opponents back-to-back but they had a good roster setup to defeat them.

“Clemson has always been one of our big rivals and Fri-day is our senior meet and it will be good to get a win,” Wa-ters said. “Carolina is always a tough meet for us, but I think we have a pretty good lineup set up so I think we should be able to do well.”

On the occasion of senior

day, Waters felt it was impor-tant to go out on a good note.

“It’s crazy it came this fast,” Waters said. “I remember when I was a freshman, looking at the seniors at senior meet and

t h i n k i ng I would never be there and to have the senior meet against Clem-son is going to be fun.

“I think it’s a meet we’re going to win so it will be a

good memory.”Sophomore Kohl Hurdle also

echoed Water’s sentiments with respect to senior day.

“Last year Clemson beat us and they are our least favorite team in the ACC,” Hurdle said. “For them coming to our house and it being senior day and us
