Insect Minute – Medical Insects
Our resident entomology expert Heather Campbell brings us another Insect Minute. This week’s topic: medical insects.
If you would like to find out more about medical insects visit the museum’s website at insectmuseum.org where you also find information about our museum and read our blog where we talk about interesting stuff going on in the world of entomology.
Young Americans for Liberty is a student organization here on campus that represents those of the Libertarian persuasion. A representative of the organization was gracious enough to sit down with Jay recently, to discuss some of what Young Americans for Liberty are all about.
Andrew profiles the Green Party candidate, Jill Stein.
Jasmine went to a seminar all about… well, let’s say one of the more intimate aspects of someone’s life, something that affects or will affect each and every one of us at some point in our lives.
If you live in the Triangle and don’t already know Jenny Besetzt, it’s about time you did. Jenny Besetzt is a five piece band from Greensboro making a name for themselves spinning dreamy trails of melodic melancholy shoegaze.
Case and point: Jenny Besetzt – Teenage Lions

If you missed Jenny Besetzt’s shining set at Hopscotch 2012, or on tour with No Age and Memoryhouse, bring a blanket at 6 p.m. to Harris Field at NCSU.
Also check out Some Army from Chapel Hill-Carrboro. This band’s first official pop-folky release was featured in Paste Magazine’s “List of 12 North Carolina Bands You Should Listen To Now” and we here at WKNC definitely agree!
I can’t believe it’s free y’all. But it is.

Jam-packed Eye on the Triangle!
Hey Everyone,
Our show if filled to the brim with content for you all. Of course, we are bringing updates on the election, with an interview with Young Americans for Liberty. Third Party Candidates have increasing importance in this year’s election, so we’ve got more coverage on them as well. Also, we have a story dealing with women’s Orgasms and a bit of Weird Science. All that, plus Eye on the Arts and Holidays of the Week. It’s gonna be a great show tonight.
Thanks,
EOT

EOT104 Early Voting 10/2/12
Anyone who receives the campus crime alert emails is no doubt used to seeing the emails in their inbox. However, in the past several weeks, the emails have detailed more serious crimes than our campus is used to. Deondre’ has more.
Tomorrow marks the first of three presidential debates between contenders Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. With just over a month to go, the candidates are in the home stretch to make themselves heard. Here’s Jake with what we can expect over the next month in terms of early voting and the presidential election.
Barack Obama versus Mitt Romney… in our polarized two party system, third party candidates are rarely get the attention that they might deserve. Andrew thought it might be interested to take focus on these overlooked candidates, in the first of a multi part series exploring the third party candidates running in this election.
