FSU tuition to increase 7.6 percent next yearBy Zachary Johnson Voice Staff

Fayetteville State University students will see a 7.6 percent increase in tuition next year, in accordance with the University of North Carolina Board of Governors’ vote on Feb.. 10.

Tuition will also go up next year by an av-erage of nearly 9 percent throughout the rest of the schools in the UNC system, according to reports in the Charlotte Observer.

The board’s decision to increase tuition brought out many students to protest in the streets while the board met. A UNC admin-istrator also told Associated Press reporters,

as noted in the Times-News, that the tuition increase precipitated the most significant in-volvement of students in nearly a decade.

Lewis Dandridge, a senior at Elizabeth City State University, told Associated Press reporters, as noted in the Times-News, that he did not believe that administrators took into consideration the burden that additional costs will have on students’ financial situa-tions. Students who are already struggling to pay for school will face even more difficulty in the upcoming year.

UNC President Tom Ross was also quoted in the Times-News as saying the tuition in-creases are not enough to cover the loss of

the more than $400 million cut by state leg-islature last year, and in fact would contrib-ute approximately only 17 percent. How the UNC system will account for the remainder of lost state funding is unclear.

While next years increased tuition costs will be challenging for students throughout the UNC system, FSU will remain the most affordable college.

Further, according to the Times-News, the board of governors also approved a 4.2 per-cent average tuition increase for the 2013-14 academic year, though FSU students would be spared from another jump in costs.

Forum on Student Center Renovations By Alisha Murphy Voice Staff

Imagine being able to buy your books, eat in the cafeteria, and have space for activities or just to hang out with friends, all within a new and more modern student center.

The renovation of the Rudolph Jones student center is a project that is much awaited by FSU students, alum and faculty alike. The now multi-pur-pose small space is lack-luster and the growing campus is long overdue for a new center.

Daniel J. Robinson of SFL+A Ar-chitects along with James W. Sukenik of Baker Group, and Richard E. Cox from FSU project management, held an open forum Feb.. 16 for students and staff to voice their opinion on the soon-to-be addition. Attendees were able to express concerns and propose ideas for the design and function of

the student center.The project calls for renovation of

the current center, which is 69,000 square feet and an addition of 40,000 square feet, according to a call for proposals on the FSU website. The site also reports that the university has a budget of $17 million to restructure the student center.

The new facility will attempt to in-corporate all the existing services as well as the Bronco Bookstore, which is now across the street.

The construction project will likely require a temporary location for din-ing services, but not a completely re-moved location. The current plan calls for an expansion of the dining area within its existing space.

Students expressed the need for space, comfort, and aesthetic plea-sures. The ideas that were suggested leaned more toward a modern, yet youthful design, versus trendy futur-

istic interiors. Many who were at the meeting seemed to favor the concept of unity, along with variety of seat-ing. With the help of BIM Software, students and staff were able to see a proposed view of the new structure.

Sukenik said there are plans for a meeting mid-March to further discuss the student center/cafeteria plans.

Jermaine Coble, a senior and SGA Executive Treasurer, was in atten-dance and said the meeting was “a chance to give [student] input and build our vision.” Along with several other students, Coble was active in the conversation and gave suggestions that would accommodate the entire student body.

FSU project manager Cox added, “It is ultimately their student center, with their input. The goal is to make it a destination for students. We want to keep it student focused.” Voice photo by Jennifer Lucas

Hike in costs will affect the entire UNC system by an average of 9 percent

“It happens every year,” said Fayetteville State Universi-ty traffic enforcement supervisor John McKoy, when asked about the recent campus-wide bulletin warning against using counterfeit parking permits.

While most students comply with the policies on campus, McCoy said there are always a few who believe they can get over on the system. The number of violators usually consists of two or three each semester, but traffic enforcement has never pursued the matter as aggressively as now.

McKoy suggested that traffic enforcement’s response to il-legal parking shouldn’t be blown out of proportion, but the consequences are very serious. According McKoy, violators may receive a boot until the illegal permit is surrendered and could be considered ineligible for a parking permit for one calendar year. In addition, any employee or student found to have violated this ordinance shall be subject to disciplinary action and the payment of a civil penalty.

However, McKoy said he understands the hardships of today’s economy put a clear strain on any student’s budget. “People are trying to get over on tough economic times,” he said. As most students know, permits start at $25 per semester while gated area permits cost up to $175.

McCoy says the majority of violators are commuter stu-dents, but even faculty members have been found in violation of the parking permit policy. Nevertheless, McKoy said stu-dents are getting better at duplicating permits. Many will use off campus resources to construct the forgeries.

However, students fail to realize traffic enforcement offi-cers have an eye for spotting fakes, McCoy said. FSU changes permit designs every September. In addition to their training to identify a fake, the officers have hand-held CPUs to check registration on the spot. McKoy said many students underes-timate the capabilities of Fayetteville State’s traffic enforce-ment.

Students come into the Department of Police and Public Safety and argue they have the proper permit or pretend they didn’t know the DPPS was the only issuing office on campus. However, when McKoy says, “Ok, bring in the permit and let’s see it,” the students begin to get sheepish and don’t want to produce it for inspection.

McKoy mentioned the craziest traffic violation occurred when a student was late for class. “(The student) pulled into a handicap spot with no handicap sticker and ran into the build-ing…and left the vehicle running!”

Sadly, students occasionally attempt to cause confrontations rather than take responsibility for their actions. Often times people look to blame traffic enforcement for delays, “It’s part of the job to have thick skin,” McCoy said. “Sometimes we

get cussed out when people have to wait.” Additional traf-fic due to construction projects and recent refund checks can make parking difficult as well.

Most tickets can be avoided. Residential students should leave their vehicles in the assigned areas until 5 p.m. UPA stu-dents fall in the same category, since their permits only allow parking in UPA until 5 p.m.

“If you have a citation, come and pay it as soon as possi-

ble,” McKoy said. “Our office will express possible leniency if the issue is dealt with in a timely manner. It’s not going to go away.” McKoy said students have attained over $1,000 in fines due to late fees.

So if you hear any students wanting to sell their parking pass, don’t fall for a cheap alternative, or you may find your vehicle booted and yourself on a trip to the Department of Police and Public Safety.

CIAATournament:The time has come once again to lace up

the sneakers and get ready for the CIAA Men’s and Women’s basketball tournament. This year, Fayetteville State’s men basket-ball team stands 8-15 as of Sunday Feb.. 19 overall coming off two wins against St. Au-gustine’s and Livingstone, with four games left until the showdown in Charlotte comes. While the Fayetteville State’s women team sits 11-13 overall before facing Barber-Scotia on Feb. 16. Both teams have had their fair share of ups and downs this season but both

will be looking to send a big message come tournament time.

The Voice had a chance to speak with the men’s basketball head coach, Alphonza Kee, and asked him a few question regarding the CIAA tournament. Coach Kee, who is in his second year as FSU’s men’s basketball coach, said “we will continue to take it one game at a time while we continue to improve game by game and day by day” when asked about what the team is focusing on to win the CIAA tournament. The coach continued to say “We

have gotten better every game whether it was a win or loss.” Coach Kee hopes to keep the upward progress going entering the CIAA tournament week, but only time will tell if the Broncos will be able to bring home their first tournament championship in recent memory. And the Lady Broncos hope to repeat the suc-cess of the 2009-2010 season.

The CIAA tournament is set to take place Feb. 27 - March 3 at the Time Warner Are-na in Charlotte, NC. Bowie State Bulldogs, Chowan Hawks, Elizabeth City Vikings,

Johnson C. Smith Golden Bulls, Lincoln Li-ons, Livingstone Blue Bears, St. Augustine’s Falcons, Shaw Bears, Virginia State Trojans, Virginia Union Panthers, and the Winston-Salem State Rams will join the Broncos in Charlotte for the big dance. The Broncos hoped to defeat Shaw University after they ran, through the tournament last year taking home both the men's and women's trophy. But, we know for sure that win, lose, or draw Bronco pride will be in full effect in Charlotte come Feb. 27.

Students:Are you a self-directed and self-regulated learner in school and in life?

Last fall in my opening talk to the Freshmen I stressed the importance of not just gradu-ating, but of also doing well academically (that is, having a good GPA). I even stated that the penalty for not doing one or both was a bleak future – no job or a low-wage job. The requirements associated with becoming a competitive and attractive job applicant in the 21st century are “rigorous”. To believe that one can graduate with a low GPA and be in demand is sheer folly. To not graduate and believe that is sheer madness.

Many students do not think about their own learning and goal attainment on a consistent basis. The factors which influence both are associated with classroom/academic learning and learning/maturity in life in general. There are those who, when conflicts arise between pursuing important academic goals and al-ternative tempting options (like one’s social life), make the wrong decision and continue to encounter setbacks. Amazingly, when you ask them about these bad choices they in-dicate that they don’t know why they made certain choices. I generally believe that such a statement is one of denial. One chooses to engage in self-defeating behaviors like using

drugs, drinking, or simply not studying. I often say to students “Wallowing in medi-ocrity with others is a choice and you de-serve the consequences of such choices.” Sounds kind of harsh doesn’t it? I intend it to have that impact because I want stu-dents to understand the harsh reality of trying to compete in a tough world when you are unprepared.

So, what is the difference between stu-dents who make the appropriate choices and those who don’t? One concept that can be applied to this discussion is “self-regulation.” Self-regulation refers to learners’ (students’) beliefs about their capability to engage in appropriate ac-tions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to pursue valuable academic goals while self-monitoring and self-reflecting on their progress toward goal comple-tion. The relationship between success in college and life, and self-regulation is

undeniable. Self-regulated learners remain task-focused despite immediate impulses to succumb to attractive temptations. Daily temptations abound: tweeting nonsense, watching TV, hanging-out, wallowing with mediocre no-goal people, unregulated eating and sleeping, trying to be “cool” or seeking attention from others…….the list goes on. Why do students give in to such temptations? Generally, they do so because they lack the willingness and the ability to delay gratifica-tion or fend off peer pressure.

If you want to get your dream job after graduation or after attending graduate school you must make a commitment to self-regu-lation. In some cases this means remaking yourself. This may mean giving up certain behaviors, false strategies, friends and temp-tations. Change begins when you are moti-vated to change and then create the circum-stances for change.

Think very seriously about the conse-quences of not motivating yourself to self-regulate, self-direct, and self-evaluate. Your future is at stake. You don’t want to look back in a few years and say “I wish I had……..”

Science and Techbuilding takes shape By Barron Green

Nearly every morning Fayetteville State University students have been waking up to the sounds of loud bangs and deafening forklifts. The noise is a factor of the uni-versity’s newest capital construction proj-ect, located where students once enjoyed the festivities of the fraternity and sorority plots.

For some FSU students, the new Science and Technology building appears to be just another infuriating scene that alters travel routes and limits parking. However, for other FSU students the new building is way overdue.

FSU alumni and biology major Tameka Bethea said the new building is very much needed. “This should have been imple-mented a long time ago,” said Bethea. “For a while we [science department] have been operating in labs that operate at minimum occupation, and are a little past due on tech-nology.”

Professors are also looking forward to the new facilities. Dr. Abdelmajid Kassem, in-terim chair of FSU’s department of biologi-cal sciences, said the new building will be “state of the art,” and include labs, lecture rooms, and newly equipped spacious class-rooms. Kassem was involved with the pre-liminary planning for the new building. He said original plans included a greenhouse however it was unfortunately dropped due to budget cuts.

Dr. Jianshi Wu, a FSU Physics professor, said the new building will provide “much needed space.” Due to a lack of room in the current science buildings several professors travel across campus to the School of Busi-ness and Economics building to teach class.

The new science and technology building will stand four stories tall and occupy about 75,000 square feet. The project is expected to be complete by fall of 2012.

The new science and technology build-ing is part of the 2008 campus master plan. The purpose of the campus master plan is to improve campus facilities through new construction, renovations or additions. The science and technology building falls under phase two of a three-phase plan. The one building alone is estimated to cost a little more than 18 million dollars.

“Not to worry” said Dr. Kassem. Con-struction improvements are funded by the state and do not affect student tuition costs.

The entire three-phase capital improve-ment project will require nearly 500 mil-lion dollars and span 20 years, according to master plan. Once complete by 2028, the new facilities are expected to attract new students and increase FSU enrollment to 7,500.

Who Is......Ray Thomas?“You’re only as good as your last show,” a quote which Ray

Thomas teaches his students. Thomas, a well-known radio personality, is Fayetteville

State University’s Bronco i-Radio adviser.Thomas collaborated with Ron Martin, chief engineer and

assistant manager at 91.9 WFSS public radio station, and came up with the concept of creating an internet radio station. Bronco i-radio streams both audio and video over the internet. The site was officially launched in September 2011 with the talk show “The Bottom Line.”

Bronco i-Radio does not just stop at internet radio but it incudes television, talk shows, t-shirts, products and a record label. Bronco i-Radio also has plans to work with The Voice and launch an internet magazine.

Each component of the Bronco i-Radio – music, talk radio, and news -are all important to the listeners, said Thomas. The concept of internet radio is what communication scholars call media-convergence. It is an example of the changing media climate.

Internet radio allows anyone that has internet access the ability to listen. Internet radio also uses social networking to help it become an all-inclusive brand. However, while inter-net radio makes it possible for radio stations to broadcast on a global platform, “the only down-side is it has no signal,” un-like terrestrial (traditional) radio stations, said Thomas.

In addition to streaming music and other programming over the internet, Bronco i-Radio was created to provide training to students interested in pursuing a career in radio. Bronco i-Radio has a state-of-the-art studio with capabilities for hands-on learning, round table discussions, guest artists, and com-munity support.

“The kids were basically pretending and I wanted to ex-pose them to hands on experience,” said Thomas.

The state-of-the-art studio consists of soundproof walls and high quality sound equipment. Located in the telecommunica-tions building, the studio is a central teaching tool for FSU’s Communication department.

“Bronco i-Radio has given students another way to prac-tice and critique their skills,” said Joe Ross, a Communication professor and the adviser of WFSS 91.9 public radio.

Martin, who works alongside Thomas to make Bronco i-Radio possible, said “Thomas is very professional. He’s great with the students and often stays late with the students if they need help.”

Students also appreciate Thomas’ commitment and philoso-phy. “Ray has taught me to stop using crutch words,” said FSU student Sidney McClettie.

“He’s a perfectionist. He puts you in situations where you have to make managerial decisions and use him as a last re-sort.”

Thomas, who has been in the radio business for 30 years, is very passionate about radio. “I believe in positive change,” said Thomas. “And, you can change the world with your voice.”

Thomas said his mother always told him to make sure that whatever career he chose he was passionate about it because then it no longer became a job. For Thomas, radio is not a job but a simple enjoyment.

Thomas said, “Being on-air is the best part, because you work all day on the little things like sound check but being on-air is your performance piece.”

Thomas’ office is filled CDs. There is paperwork on the

desk, which indicates there is work to be done. His phone is consistently ringing. T-shirts hang from the ceiling with quotes that Thomas consistently says. He wears the Bronco I-Radio hat proudly. “I have strong spiritual foundation,” which is something not many people know about Thomas. “It is the core of my foundation.”

Many students look to Thomas as a role model, but Thomas offers an alternative suggestion.

“Do not aspire to be like me,” Thomas said. If you see qualities that you like then take some of them, but carve your own niche. Aspire to be the best you.”

he opening of the 2012 Black His-tory month began with hearts turn-ing to recognize two prominent

African American figures whose lives were suddenly ended.

On Feb..1 Donald “Don” Cortez Cor-nelius was pronounced dead after a self inflicted gunshot wound. He was 75-years-young. Ten days later, on Feb.. 11, Whitney Houston died in a Los Angeles hotel the night before the Grammy awards. She was 48-years-young.

Cornelius was the producer and host of the nationally syndicated “Soul Train” from 1971 to 1993. After working in journalism and television production, Cornelius took the initiative to showcase African American youth as they grooved to the latest music. “Soul Train” inspired and introduced the newest artists, fashions and most important-ly, dance moves.

Cornelius’ deep melodic voice and fa-mous benediction “Love, Peace and Soul,” will resonate in minds and mouths across the world. His contribution was a testament of the desire to uplift one another and pro-mote unity during a time of confusion in America.The power of the voice can pose many talents, whether it is gift of gab, like that of “Don” Cornelius or the beautiful belting vocal style of Houston.

The news of Houston’s sudden death rocked the media, entertainment and social worlds on Feb.. 11. Despite the negative attention about her personal life, Houston was best recognized for her “Golden” voice and show stopping musical performances. However, she also modeled and acted dur-ing her career.

No other vocal talent has surfaced with the caliber of raw skill like that of Houston. Her voice afforded a multitude of awards including two Emmys, six Grammys, 22 American Music Awards, and 30 Billboard Music Awards, with a total of 415 honors throughout her career.

Houston was on the brink of a career comeback when she passed at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. Her latest endeavors included a lead role in the film, “Sparkle”, which is set to be released Aug. 2012.

This February, along with the celebration of inventors, activists and educators, we should also remember Cornelius and Hous-ton for their voices in the African American community.

However, with regard and respect toward the mourning families and fans of these two influential figures, the show must go on. We must move forward in order to continue to promote African American voices that will one day also leave lasting impressions in our minds.

Black Millennium Modeling Club (BMMC) was established on the campus of Fayetteville State University (FSU) in Fayetteville, NC during the fall academic semester of 1997. BMMC had a mission to unite students with diverse trends, styles, and eccentric levels of creativity.

Since then BMMC has shined as an en-couraging modeling troupe, always striving to bring original, intriguing, and fashion-forward scenes, performances, and appear-ances. The 2011-2012 modeling troupe is created of several dominate and truly unique individuals.

BMMC doesn’t limit their fashion senses to just urban wear, they also wear all kinds of fashion, from business to leotards to lin-gerie to average jeans, only with a couture twist. The modeling troupe works hard to

be original and allow the students to express themselves.

BMMC does not have a special makeup and hair artist; they prefer to use the talent of the members within the troupe.

Although the kings and queens of BMMC own the runway, they also feel it is important to participate in other activities as a model-ing troupe, such as pageants, the gospel ex-plosion, youth encouragement events, also hair and fashion shows.

"BMMC is important to campus as an organization because we stress the im-portance of fashion and appearance to encourage the esteem of both males and females of all kind" said Ti'Aira Souther-land, FSU student and BMMC Secretary. BMMC's President is Antwan James and Vice Presidents are To'Davia Daniels and Antonio Elliot.

Staying for the Good Times

By Allie Bayat

I was angry all the time. I wasn’t myself. The anger, hurt and frustrations came in waves.

According to the Department of Justice, non-fatal intimate partner violence (IPV) has declined since 1993. The statistics seem promising, but for someone that is affected by violence it’s frightening.

The first time it happened to me I didn’t even realize what was happening. I found myself in a violent relationship fueled by alcohol and rage. I knew all the statistics. I knew all the signs, but it managed to con-sume my life. Within weeks of beginning my relationship I sat curled in a corner with a shotgun in my face.

My life was heading in a good direction. I felt carefree, and successful. I wasn’t lonely or bored. He was always there. He said and did all the right things at first. Soon I was liv-ing with his logic. Everything I knew to be right was turned upside and substituted for his sense of the world. He would guilt me or mock me “normal people don’t think like you,” he said. “I’m not educated like you, I’m normal and you’re not.” If I questioned anything I was “crazy,” or “unreasonable.” If I didn’t drink with him I wasn’t a good girl-friend. If I didn’t make dinner I wasn’t a good mother.

He had his “demons” but the rage was di-rected at me. He’d get drunk. I’ll never forget the day he told me our puppy had served its purpose. I could hear him in the back yard. I heard the clink, thud and a yelp. I felt this cold horrible feeling inside the pit of my stomach. He came in with a grin telling me he did what had to be done. He saw the hor-ror on my face and laughed as he informed me I was being “a stupid b…” He didn’t harm the puppy. He was trying to scare me. It wasn’t long before I was on my knees in the backyard at the end of that shovel. When he was drinking it was funny to him, to see me afraid. I stayed. I should have left then.

After months of emotional and psychologi-cal abuse I found myself face down in the driveway of my home. The memories come in flashes. I awoke to lights blinking, my face in the gravel and his feet kicking the side of my head. He dragged me by my hair to clean up before the police arrived, threatening, if I got him arrested. After the police left I walked into my bathroom, feeling the aches and pains, but nothing compared to the face I saw in the mirror. It wasn’t me. My face was a purple, bloated and bruised. My eyes and lips where black and purple, swollen shut. My back and legs were swollen and painful. I could barely walk. My head ached. I couldn’t eat or drink. He blamed me for everything. As drunk as he was, he had his story ready to explain it away.

I was in a haze. I changed how I looked to keep the criticism away. He didn’t like my style, my looks, and my attitude. He criti-

cized my education, the things that interested me, the places and people I liked. He even criticized my thoughts and opinions.

My school and work suffered. I was angry all the time, unhappy, and ashamed. It wasn’t a slow progression. It happened hard and fast. It took over my life before I had a chance to even realize what was happening. I stayed for the good times, thinking that if only he wasn’t drinking, or if only he found stability and peace, then maybe we’d have good times again. But when the good times came I didn’t even recognize them anymore. I barely recog-nized myself. I didn’t tell anyone.

“Violence between intimates is difficult to measure --because it often occurs in private, and victims are often reluctant to report inci-dents to anyone because of shame or fear of reprisal,” according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

I knew real fear the last time he hit me as I lay face down in my living room. He repeat-edly stomped on the back of my head. I felt myself begin to lose consciousness. Only an-ger got me through that night. It was the first time I stood up to him. It was the first time I told anyone. The support helped me through that night. It was the first time I let him know I would fight back anyway I had to.

“You may not realize it, but the impact of IPV can reach far beyond the actual or threat-ened abuse…You may have more physical health problems, mood problems, and may also affect your job or career,” according to the United States Center for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

There was no hope for me until I spoke up and got help.

MUSICREVIEW

“Jazz is something I adore,” said Ronald Blanks, a Fay-etteville State University student and soloist in a recent per-formance at Seabrook Auditorium held in remembrance and celebration of the world famous musician Duke Ellington.

Blank’s solo, “Ain’t But The One” was bright with a smooth sound and uptempo beat. The ear catching snaps of the trumpet and trombone section of the Fayetteville Jazz Orchestra complemented the FSU Concert Choir. Both were showcased in the Feb. 5 performance at the Seabrook audito-rium. The Heritage Restoration Chorale also performed at the Ellington celebration.

The performance was more than just students playing old music. The concert was intended to uplift and energize the spirit. Some audience members stood up and clapped to the rhythm of the beat. They seemed to feel the music.

Brittany Marsh, a FSU senior, who attended the perfor-

mance said the jazz orchestra did an “awesome job” interact-ing with the audience. She said Dr. Neil Finn, director of the Fayetteville Jazz Orchestra, was especially interactive with the crowd. Finn, a FSU professor, plays the trombone.

“I loved the dynamics, Marsh said. “They were very alive.”Ray Codrington, a guest artist at FSU who recently played a

night of performances in December, accompanied the Fayette-ville Jazz Orchestra for the Ellington celebration. Codrington, who has played at the Apollo Theater in New York City, is now a member of the John Brown Quintet, which tours North Carolina.

Codrington and other artists at the showcase played El-lington songs that aren’t as well known such as “Heaven, and Suite: It’s Freedom.” The performance, hosted by FSU’s Department of Performing and Fine Arts, was titled Duke El-lington – The Sacred Concerts.

Ellington, a world famous songwriter, conductor, and pia-nist born 1899, set out to be the originator of big band jazz. At the tender age of seven, Ellington gained interest in piano and fine arts. Born in Washington, DC, he later moved to New York City to pursue a music career and make a name for him-self. Ellington composed three sacred pieces in concert that ranged from 1962 to 1973. Despite the religious overtones of some of the songs from Ellington’s sacred series, he wanted the songs to be non-denominational so that everyone could enjoy them.

“Somethin bout believing” trailed the opening ballot and soothed the audiences ears with a soft smooth melody. The jazz orchestra and the choir closed the celebration with a piece entitled “Praise God and Dance,” ending the night on an upbeat note.

Fayetteville State Universtiy's tribute to Duke EllingtonBy Barron Green

NC Symphony performs at FSU

North Carolina Symphony played for the first time at Fayetteville State University Feb.. 18 as part of the “Dvořák and America” series.

The symphony, under the direction of mu-sic director Grant Llewellyn, performed a se-lection of music by John Knowles Paine and Antonín Dvořák, to a crowd of avid classical fans in the Seabrook Auditorium.

As part of the series there was a pre-concert chamber music performance featuring FSU faculty. During the preconcert performance

Joseph Horowitz, the writer and producer of the series, gave a brief history of Dvořák’s life in the United States area of New York, pre turn of the 20th century.

The main performance was divided into two parts the “Hiawatha Melodrama for Ac-tor and Orchestra” and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 “From the New World.”

During the “Hiawatha Melodrama for Ac-tor and Orchestra” Kevin Deas, actor and baritone, told several of the lines from “The Song of Hiawatha” by Longfellow, while David Hartman informed the audience of dif-ferent aspects of Dvořák’s life in the United

States. As Hartman, Deas, and the North Carolina Symphony told the story of how plantation music (now “Spirituals”) and sav-age (Native America) music help to influence Dvořák’s goal of finding a truly American style of music.

After a brief intermission the audience was brought ever more into the world as Dvořák painted it in his Symphony No. 9 in E mi-nor, Op. 95 “Form the New World” as the entire symphony of all four movements was performed beautifully by the North Carolina Symphony.

Writer and producer of the series Horowitz also gave a special presentation to students

and faculty of FSU Feb.. 13 in Rosenthal as a preview of the symphony.

An incredibly busy week in work. A new idea will be on your mind and it looks like change is just around the corner for you. A partnership will be mentioned. In loves-someone will lead you on.

Aquarius (January 20-Februay 18)

You want action and change. Now is exactly the right time for winter sports, in which you excel. At least your partner has a good reason to complain this time, you're out of control! Pisces

(February 19-March 20)Do not give too much importance to

your dreams and fo-cus on what you can actually achieve in-stead, as we all know how you can bury your head in the sand and find yourself in a delicate situation

shortly after. Just take your time!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are very nervous and cannot sit still for a minute. Try to do one thing at a time otherwise nothing will work out for you. Look af-ter your diet, you could be putting some weight on.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

You will discover in-teresting new places with your other half. You will meet new people who you will befriend very quickly. Carpe Diem, as they say!

Taurus(April 20-May 20)

It is really time to think, and deep! You will have no choice but to face reality, which will not be easy. Ask yourself what your real motiva-tions are and what they imply in terms of com-mitment.

Gemini (May 21- June 21)

You need to relax and what's better than balneo-therapy or a spa day to recharge one's batteries? Go with your other half, as he/she needs it too!

Cancer (June 22-July22)

If you don't want to find yourself on your own in the very near future, you will have to be very frank with your other half. Your patience will be tested; find the time to clear your mind and relax.

Leo

(July 23-August 22) You have had better days

professionally! Let's just say that when things go wrong, you have to learn how to ride the storm. Meanwhile, just rest, that's the only thing you can do.

Virgo (August 23- September 22

Even if you are feel-ing slightly left out so-cially and profession-ally, you will use your never-give-up attitude to brilliantly prove what you are capable of.

Libra (September 23-October 23)

Your partner will appear to be distant. It has to be said that you have been particulary worried lately, which does not help to create a relaxed atmosphere in your couple. Com-fort eating is the order of the day!

Scorpio

(October 24- November 21)You will be knee-deep in paperwork and

this is going to drive you insane! Be organised, otherwise you will not stay on top of things. The only satisfaction? Your partner's help to take a lot of weight off your shoulders.

MOVIEREVIEW

Being one of the first films of 2012, I can honestly say that “Chronicle” has a great chance of being one of the best films of the year. MSNBC reported that “Chronicle” has made an estimated $22 million from U.S and Canadian theaters, thus trumping “The Woman In Black,” which made an es-timated $21 Million. Also being the directo-rial debut of Josh Trank, it was a wonder-ful turnout with the budget just under $15 Million.

I’m not going to spoil the film in this critique, but if I were to sum up the whole movie in one sentence I would say “Chron-icle” is why God decided not to give us su-perpowers.

The story is centered mainly on Andrew (Dane Dehaan), a troubled teen dealing with an identity crisis, bullying, and domes-tic abuse at home. Andrew’s cousin Matt (Alex Russell) is your average teen trying to enjoy high school, find a girlfriend, and all the while, avoiding his weird cousin. Then there is Steve (Michael B. Jordan) the class president and all around popular kid on campus.

The style of the film is similar to the “Paranormal Activity” series, where a main character is recording events with a home video camera. Andrew in “Chronicle” be-gan filming his father when he would have abusive alcoholic episodes. The event that brings these three characters together hap-pens at a party where they wander into the

woods and stumble upon an underground cave. After some exploration they find a massive glowing crystal. As they walk clos-er, they all start to feel weaker and eventu-ally faint. The next day Andrew starts re-cording their new powers of telekinesis and flight. At first it was all fun and games. But as they grow stronger, the whole concept “with great power comes great responsibil-ity” is disregarded.

This movie provides the viewer with a great experience full of action, drama, and even real life scenarios. Anyone 18 to 25-years-old can truly relate to this. This movie will make you think about what it would be like if humans had superpowers, and at the same time demonstrate why it’s better that we don’t have them. All in all, I give this feature a solid 9.5 out of 10.
