Five students will be inducted into the N.C. State chapter of the Society for Collegiate Journalists Feb. 2. The Society, which is the nation's oldest honorary society for collegiate mass communications, according to the Society's handbook, "admits as members only those persons who exemplify the dignity, personal freedom, and initiative that we believe are the hallmarks of excellence in collegiate communications."

WKNC's third annual Double Barrel Benefit, which took place in February, was named by Independent Weekly as one of its favorite shows of 2006.

In the "Rock and Roll Quarterly" issue, writer Grayson Currin characterized the concert as something "actually causing college students to come downtown."
