EOT08 Greek Life
After a hefty dose of news from Jack Boyer and Evan Garris, we debut our new Eye on the Triangle sports segment with Sean Klemm and Tyler Everett from the NCSU Technician.
Greek Life is the focus of VIP interviews with Interfraternity Council President Benton Sawrey and Director of Greek Life John Mountz.
In Hear This, Kelly Reid features Greensboro’s Bronzed Chorus and Durham’s Luego.
Matt Robbins is our Wolfpacker of the Week., founder of the Finish The Tower campaign.
Most people might recognize the powerful and beautiful voice of Lizzy Ross as the lead singer of Chapel Hill’s own Lafcadio. With booming success within the Triangle and a recent performance at Shakori Hills Grassroots Fall Music Festival, it’s a wonder how Ross, a full time philosophy and music student at UNC-Chapel Hill, has time to embark on her solo career. However, the future looks bright for this young musician who recently received praise for her tracks Maria, Slave to the Muse, and No Man on Lafcadio’s self-titled LP. She also plans to graduate this December.
Be sure the check out the interview and live in studio performances from Lizzy Ross this Friday at 2 p.m. with yours truly, DJ Special K.

EOT07 Football Part 2 10/5/09
After you got a brief rundown of the latest news from Eye on the Triangle, we kicked the show off with two great, short monologues. Saja Hindi sat down with two VIP N.C. State fans — one is a student who doesn’t particularly enjoy football games but sometimes attends tailgates for the social atmosphere and one is an alumnus who is such a sports devotee, he now is interning at the Wolfpack Club.
This week’s Hear This consisted of the EOT team giving listeners a look into local history within WKNC’s own library. Mike Alston gave a brief history and clip from the Backsliders, which broke up in 1999; Jacob Downey — the Boy Wonder Jinx, which broke up in 1998; and Rachel Sloane — Ladderback, which broke up in 2002.
For Community Canvas, Mike sat down with photojournalist Jason Arthurs who graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2003 with a degree in journalism to hear about his work. Arthurs now works as a freelancer and produces both print photography and video content.
Finally, this week’s Wolfpacker of the Week was Liz Walters, a senior in graphic design and representative of Campus Arts Council and Arts N.C. State.
