EOT10 Yearbooks 10/26/09
Student Media leaders are working on several projects that you don't want to miss out on, so this week, the Eye on the Triangle team interviewed the leaders spearheading some of these projects to give you a look at what's ahead.
SPORTS:
Derek Medlin and John Cooper Elias talked briefly about the football team, the basketball team and more in Wolfpack sports.
VIP:
In this week's VIP, we talked to former Agromeck Editor John Cooper Elias (who also leads yearbook workshops) and current Agromeck Editor Bryant Robbins about why yearbook sales are facing a downward trend and what makes yearbooks still important in this information age. Two articles were cited in the interview about national yearbook trends, one from The Economist and one from The New York Times.
To bring the issue back to home, Matt Moore went around campus and asked students if they saw the important of the yearbook, which you can listen to in the segment.
We also discussed briefly the declining trend in all print media publications, the topic of Tuesday's "Focused" section of Technician, titled "Is print dying?"
For more on the Agromeck, you can add Agromeck Man on Facebook.com or follow @Agromeck on Twitter.com, and you can also follow Technician @ncsutechnician.
COMMUNITY CANVAS:
This week's Community Canvas was extended to give listeners a behind-the-scenes look of WKNC's Halloween broadcast from 7 - 8 p.m., an adaptation of War of the Worlds. Damian Maddalena, who will join the rest of the newly formed radio acting troupe, The Two Cabbage Radio Players, for a performance of “War Of The Worlds."
From Technician: "Based off of H.G. Wells’ novel, the radio play imagines an alien invasion taking over New York, interrupting a broadcast in the process. Damian Maddelena, graduate student in forestry and environmental resources, first had the idea to produce the show about a year ago. He saw a live broadcast that a Los Angeles traveling troupe performed on campus, and it triggered the idea." Check out Thursday's Arts & Entertainment section of Technician for the full story.
WOLFPACKER OF THE WEEK:
This week, I sat down with our student of the week, Andrew Tucker. Tucker, a senior in political science, talked about his new hobby, mixed martial arts and the training he now goes through daily for his fights. He also discussed his involvement with the re-established fraternity on campus, Kappa Alpha, after a five-year hiatus.
SOUNDBYTES:
This week's Soundbytes asked students what their favorite part of the N.C. State Fair 2009 was. As expected, most answers surrounded fried foods.
Be sure to listen to next week's show -- VIP will focus on non-profit organizations, and we'll also be giving you an update on former chancellor James Oblinger's hiring situation.

EOT09 State Fair 10/19/09
This week's Eye on the Triangle decided to give listeners a sneak peek at this year's Pack Howl Act, but as always, our EOT team gave you the regular segments you are used to as well.
NEWS:
Evan Garris gave listeners an update on the balloon boy hoax, the interim executive director of the Alumni Association after Lennie Barton's firing, the H1N1 vaccine running out in Wake County and more.
SPORTS:
Derek Medlin, John Cooper Elias and Tyler Everett analyzed the Pack's performance against Boston College.
VIP:
In this week's VIP, in honor of the North Carolina State Fair being in town, DJ Chris Cioffi took listeners on his journey to enjoy his State Fair experience, spending as little money as possible. He quickly found out that going for free was not a viable option. This year's State Fair included a lot of representation from N.C. State, including an appearance from the infamous Hillsborough Street Barrel Monster, ice cream from N.C. State's Food Science Department, a look at how to milk a cow from N.C. State's Animal Science Club and more.
HOMECOMING:
As promised, Homecoming Chair Adam Compton came on as a guest to Eye on the Triangle to officially announce the Homecoming Pack Howl Act. We talked to him about Homecoming 2009 events and how they compare to previous years' events, and then let him explain the Pack Howl act, which is NOT going to be a band this year. If you haven't read Special K's blog post or listened to the show, we won't ruin the surprise for you.
COMMUNITY CANVAS:
Mike Alston interviewed Megan Gulledge for this week's Community Canvas on her artwork, after reading about Gulledge in Goodnight Raleigh. Gulledge has an opening at First Friday at the Busy Bee. Here is an excerpt of Gulledge's bio from her Web site: Certain experiences in life change the way you see the world. When I was in college I traveled to Ireland with eleven other art students and two professors. We were required to keep journals to document our experiences through writing and drawing. One of the more interesting techniques that I learned from keeping a journal is to almost remove yourself a level, step back from what you are so immersed in for the sake of capturing it in a more effective way. A result of that trip was a new perspective on life, an obsession for moments.
Check out some of Megan's artwork below.

HEAR THIS:
Music clips in hear This and throughout Monday's show were from local musicians that are part of the weeklong Cherry Bounce line up. To tell us more about the festival line up and it's progression, Rachel Sloane sat down with event organizers Billy Warden and Greg Behr. You can read more about the festival on wknc.org/blog.
WOLFPACKER OF THE WEEK:
This week's Wolfpacker of the Week was Zach Schnell, a junior in environmental technology and member of the Wolfpack Environmental Association. He sat down with Jacob Downey to talk about sustainability on campus.
SOUNDBYTES:
Student Media Photographer Matt Moore went around campus and talked to students about what they think of the proposed government soda tax. The tax is intended to help pay for health care reform and combat obesity.
