Volume XLVI Issue 22 U-92 Gearing Up by Rupert Stout "Everyone's geared up for it" said an enthusiastic WWCU Business Manager, Ben Burr, when recently asked about the radio station's anticipated increase in power. "Right now we're waiting for a formal O.K. from the FCC saying we're authorized and we expect to receive it in 30 to 60 days." The next step will then be to allow formal bidding by outside companies on construction of the tower which will take approximately one month to build. The final step in the stations' increase in power will be to refurbish the existing transmitter and thus turn WWCU from a 10 watt weakling into a 100 watt local power.

With the establishment of academic credit for its officers only a vote by the Faculty Senate away, SGA needs to take a hard look at the new program and how it relates to the student body. With the academic credit SGA should establish some sort of Civil Service system for its administrative officers. The best qualified students for the job — and the ones that will give their best in their jobs — deserve to be appointees regardless of their inside connections This policy could extend to the court system, the offices of Public Defender and Attorney General, and the Continued on back page
