  • January 19, 1948 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN PAGE SEVEN +- The New Radio Station The campus radio station will go into actual operation by the end of the month, the producers have announced. As the station is planned, it will operate for one hour a day, five days a week, and on 550 cycles in the broadcast band. How It Works The station will operate exactly the same as a regular commercial station. It can be picked up only on the operating frequency, even though it will use the electric lines as an antenna. The transmission system will include wire lines coupled to the power line over which the signal will be transmitted. Since the signal is carried by these mediums to the specific location, which will be the campus and adjoining buildings where reception is desired, no interference is caused to distant broadcasting stations. Because of their compliance with the above cited rule, campus stations are exempted from many of the provisions of FCC license procedures— thus it is legal. An example of this is that licensed operatorsi are not required and the station need not be licensed by the commission. However, the station will be registered with them. Who Will Operate It The campus radio station will be operated by the students of WCTC. All the engineering preparation and presentation will be done by the student body through the radio club. All students have the equal right to join. The club's motto is "You needn't be talented—just interested." What About The Programs The first thirty minutes each night will be devoted to the feature programs—such as student talent, dramatized scripts and other features. Then follows five minutes of campus news, sports and gossip. Next, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, will be the Campus Quiz—a recorded program made on the campus where the students gather. On the other days in the week and on Tuesdays and Thursday following the news, "Music For Your Studying Pleasure", a program of transcribed music, will be presented. Network Planned And Special Programs Plans are now being made for a network of carrier-current stations of North Carolina State, Duke university, University of South Carolina, Western Carolina Teachers college and possibly University of North Carolina, though nothing final has been released on this. It will be done through a network of the intercollegiate broadcasting system, an organization of all carrier-current stations in the United States. Special programs, such as full recordings of off-campus varsity ball games are planned. Some will be a direct broadcast through the use of remote control units, presented over the station facility. Modern American Art Exhibit Is Placed In Library The Lyceum committee, in cooperation with the arts division of the college, has placed an exhibit of modern American art in the reading room of the library. This exhibit, received from the Modern Museum of Art, New York, will be shown until January 12. The display, with a panel of explanatory material, treats the influences of "The Eight" on American painting along with, the general development of modern American painting. "The Eight" have been the most notable influence American painting has received. "The Eight" sought new life for American painting and the use of ordinary people in an art that is purely American. They have gained it in an art that is realistic, free and abstract; making use of expressionism. This art has replaced the heavy and ornate painting of the Victorian age. It is the first real development in the comparatively young American art. One of the great achievements of the school is the fact that American painting is no longer weighed against that of Europe, but is considered as a distinctive type. In this painting the main contention is between those who think the subject should be stressed and those who believe that the esthetic whole is more important. The particular collection that is shown here includes the work of Homer, Eakins, Glackens, Sloan, Bellows, Burchfield, Wood, Marin, Hartley, Dove, O'Keefe, De- Martine and Graves. There will be other exhibits on topics of art and industrial arts in the future. They will be "Modern American Houses," shown February 11-25; "What Is Modern Painting?", March 14-April 5; and "Unit Furniture," May 7-21. SCOTT'S SCRAP BOOK a& ****** By R. J.
