  • Western Carolinian December 10, 1981 Voice of the Students Volume XLVI Number 15 Head b >all coach Steve Cottrell Allen: "Tremendous Year »» In an interview with Robert Allen concerning the radio station WWCU, he stated "we've had a tremendous year so far." Allen stepped into the office of General Manager with many high hopes this year. "Already we've seen some dreams come true that were long-term goals founded four or five years ago," he said. Allen added, "I hope everyone will come to the Open House and help us celebrate the success of our station thus far, and offer suggestions or comments as to other things they would like to see us do in the future." As a continuation of the numerous improvements a new broadcasting fraternity is being organized for students called Alpha Epsilon Rho. Thanks to the efforts of interested radio personnel and Richard Gainey, the station's new faculty advisor this year, broadcasting students will have yet another organization in which to involve themselves to add more significance to their degree. Gainey and ten other interested students are organizing the chapter and hope to receive enough financial support to apply for a charter by mid-December. Alpha Epsilon Rho is an honor society with about 1,300 members in active chapters on college and university campuses across the nation. If formed here, Western would have only the second chapter in North Carolina, after NC State. The purpose of the organization is to encourage and reward scholarship and accomplishment among students of broadcasting, to promote the advancement of education in the art and science of broadcasting and to establish meaningful communication between student and professional broadcasters. High scholastic qualifications are required for membership. The proposed WCU chapter of AERho will be grouped in the East Central Region with other chapters in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina. To become a chapter, the group at WCU drew up a local constitution based on North Carolina State University's charter and the National Charter Handbook. To provide proof of qualification, Gainey will submit three video tapes with a production booklet for each. The video tapes, will be chosen from those produced by students in Gainey's television production class this semester. An audio tape of a cross section of radio station WWCU-FM also will be submitted. To qualify for membership, students must have completed a minimum of 29 semester hours or have a sophomore status or higher. They must be a B.S. or B.A. major in the radio-television degree program or must be seeking a minor in radio and television or speech and theater arts. Students must have earned a minimum of a Hardin Gets Results Some time ago the university administration was questioned concerning the manner in which it was dealing with the stray animals on the campus. There seemed to be a difference of opinion between the administration and some students. At this point, who said what is unimportant in that the matter was dealt with when the university worked out a plan with the Humane Society. Georgia Hicks, in a telephone interview, stated that the university had contacted the Humane Society and asked how something could be worked out. As a member of the Humane Society and main spring for the A.R.F. program in Jackson County, Mrs. Hicks stated that the stray animal problem on the campus was now being taken care of due to the university's willingness to resolve the problem. The university has agreed to cover the expenses of room and board plus a service charge that has not been determined at this time. The plan will be implemented in that the university will deliver all animals to the Humane Society that are picked up on the campus. These animals will be held for seven days before they are given to a foster home where they will stay until found. These foster homes are all volunteered for the Humane Society; citizens volunteer their homes and time plus their real love and concern for these animals. It is only out of the kindness of their hearts that the stray animals do have some place to be sheltered. The reason this system will exist is that at this time there is no animal shelter for these animals to be taken to when picked up. Mrs. Hicks stated that no one is in this for the money; the service fee is necessary. The concern of the Society is the welfare of the animals. This concern includes such services as worming, shots, and medical care. This work is also volunteer in that Dr. Homolka, a local vet, charges only for the medication and not his time. Mrs. Hicks added that the Human Society and the A.R.F. program felt that Dr. Homolka deserved a big "thank you" for the services he has already contributed let alone those he has offered in the future. Mrs. Hicks also wanted the students to know that when they are at the grocery stores to look for the donation baskets that have been set up to helpout A.R.F. These baskets are for food donations that cover the feeding of the animals in volunteer foster homes. In buying animal food and placing it in the A.R.F. basket one is making a contribution to helping out with the Humane Society. Another part of the plan in dealing with the stray animals on campus is that of running a picture of the to page 4 3.0 average in their broadcasting courses and maintain a minimum 2.0 overall average. If a person outside these majors wants to join AERho, he can get approval to take a list of courses providing 12 semester hours related to the communications field. Once a student fulfills these qualifications, he must fill out an application stating his qualifications and professional goals. Nominees are then selected by an executive committee, comprised of AERho officers, and presented to the AERho general membership at WCU. Initiation of new members will be completed no later than the last day of October and February of each semester. An initial $25 fee is charged for membership with annual dues of $25 per member. Anyone interested in becoming a charter member at WCU should contact Richard Gainey at the Department of Speech and Theater Arts in the basement of Hoey. o—Li«i w> by Russ Randolph to***- .m*W. »%: Cc WWCU Transmitter Exam Schedule 1981 MONDAY, DECEMBER 14 8:30 - II a.m. noon - 2:30 p.m. 3 - 5:30 p.m. 8:00 MWF 2:00 MWF 11:00 MWF TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15 8:30 - II a.m. noon - 2:30 p.m. 3 - 5:30 p.m. 9:00 MWF 3:30 TR 12:00 MWF WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16 8:30 - II a.m. noon - 2:30 p.m. 3 - 5:30 p.m. 10:6(6 MWF 4:00 MWF 1:00 MWF THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17 8:30 - 11 a.m. noon - 2:30 p.m. 3 - 5:30 p.m. 9:30 TR 8:00 TR 12:30 TR FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18 8:30 - II a.m. noon - 2:30 p.m. 3 - 5:30 p.m. 2:00 TR I 1:00 TR 3:00 MWF
