EOT91 Emergency Responders 5/1/12

As exams bear down upon all of us, sometimes we are our own worst enemy. Grant Buckner went around campus recently to find out what is keeping the Wolfpack from studying.

The lives of emergency workers can be highly stressful. So stressful, in fact, that there has been a recent rise in the number of suicides among emergency service workers. Deondre' Jones recently sat down with an advocate for preventing suicide among our nation's emergency responders.

Chris Hughes was at NC State not too long ago, speaking about the rise of social media in a constantly evolving world and the role it plays in the newsroom.

Roller Derby seems to have gotten more popular in the past few years. Jake recently spoke with the Carolina Rollergirls, the Triangle's very own roller derby team, about the rapidly growing sport.

As the Triangle continues to be one of the most rapidly growing population centers in the United State, some see the need for a more comprehensive public transit system. Nick spoke with an advocate for the Wake COunty transit plan about a possible future with Rapid Mass Transit.

And finally Dave shares what Holidays we should be celebrating this week.
