  • nE\> c ■■ W ' ^M^^ ^^^ * m^k. ^tkWWMMm 'l#\ llll IRSDAY, NO.. MBER 18, 1976 WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY POB66, Cullowhee, NC 28723 FM transition nears completion FM WWCU existence has been marked by numerous promises and delays, may be on the air by the week after Thanksgiving break, and no later than the First of the year, according to station manager .lake Phillips. The station will replace Western's old AM station, WCAT, which has been off the air since 1975. WWCU is not yet on the air because of several work orders that have not been fulfilled. All equipment necessary for operation has been acquired, but has not been wired together. Installation of additional electrical outlets to handle the station's power needs, and lengthening of the support tower of the broadcast antenna to insure the station's signal will reach the entire campus are included in the work that needs to be done before WWCU can start broadcasting. Also, the station must be air-conditioned. This is necessary to maintain proper operating temperature for station equipment, which is about 70 degr Most of WCAT's studio equipment had to be replaced to make the transition from AM to FM. According to the FCC. the old AM equipment was insufficient because it created too much background noise. The value of the new broadcast equipment is about $12,000. This includes the transmitter, two control boards. Five tape recorders and four turntables. WWCU is licensed by the FCC as an educational radio station and training facility. Students taking Radio Lab courses will become part of the station's staff, participating in operations and broadcasting. At full staff, the station will operate from 6 a.m. until midnight. Programming will include top 40. progressive rock, classical music, jazz, bluegrass. educational programming, news, interviews, talk shows, and rclii-ioiis shows- Opportunities for programming will be offered to all academic departments, interest groups and organization ampul and in the surrounding ommunity. I he station will not carry paid advertising, public- service announcements will be aired at no cost. Donations from patrons can be accepted under the limits of the FCC contract. WWCU is contracted to broadcast at 91.7 megacycles FM and will be commonly known as U-92. George Sprague. retired chief engineer of WLOS-TV in Asheville, is serving as technical advisor to the station. John Heiser is serving as program director, Mac Triplet! as business manager, Charles Morgan as student engineer, Paul Corum as music director, Betsy Little as news director, and Rone ('line as public affairs director. WWCU urges interested students to come to their studio located on the ground floor of Moore- Hall, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m, Monday through Thursday. Ihe station's address is Drawer W. Cullowhee. Jimmy says tee-shirts are 'okay' bv Kay Cobb Washington has the politicians. Hollywood has the movie stars, and New York has the Rockefellers. Not to be outdone, Cullowhee has Jimmy and Cooney. Jimmy Buchanan and Conrad Frady are, no doubt, a couple of the more interesting local residents, and the most well-known to WCU students. Due to considerable recent controversy concerning the two, the Art Students League took advantage of a proposal submitted by Charles Sperling to produce "the ultimate in Cullowhee memorabilia"-- Jimmy and Cooney tee shirts. Separate photographs of Jimmy and Cooney were made by Chuck Downs. Tom Madison and Sperling produced the silk screens. The pictures were then reproduced on short-sleeved cotton tee- shirts. A caption appears on the "Jimmy" shirts stating the well-known phrase "Let's Be Buddies." The shirts are available in yellow, gold, orange, red. and peach, in si/es S-M-L. They are on sale for $3.00 today at the Christmas Bazaar, on the third floor UC. Money obtained from the sale of the shirts, and the sale of other items made by the art students, will go into the ASLfund. If all goes well the money will be used by the League in May towards a state-wide student art show. What do Jimmy and Cooney think of their tee shirts? Well. Cooney was not available for comment, but Jimmy (the ALWAYS available Jimmy) simply said, "I think it's okay." Yes, more WCU construction IS underway by Ray Coneys Everyone has probably noticed by now that construction seems to be going on in every nook and cranny on campus. Another nook was recently invaded when construction began on "Hoey Plaza." Three large circular benches, six planters, and an exposed aggregate walkway will soon take the place of the blacktop parking area between Hoey auditorium and McKee building. The pla/a will extend out to where the area is now roped off. However, planters will be placed around a walkway that will extend to the area between Killian and the Smoky Mountain Health Clinic, allow ing just enough room for two lanes of traffic. "The purpose of it." said grounds superintendent Gary Parrot, "is to have a place for students to slow down, smoke a cigarette, or sit and talk with friends." Parrot said the project will also beautify the area and he said that "A major part of it is to lower the noise level bv slowing down traffic." Parrot said that the walkway is part of a continuing improvement program between Hunter Library and the CAP Center, a major flow of pedestrian traffic. Aside from Hoey Plaza, other improvements would include "highly developing" the area between Killian and Forsyth with shrubbery and benches, and relandscaping the UC iawn. The project is funded by Capital Improvement Landscaping Walks and Drives Section, and will cost roughlv $20,000. Parrot said. Carolinian photo by Fred Barbour
