She attributes this to the fact that college is much bigger and you usually do not graduate with the same people you enter with your freshman year. The current yearbook staff is now in the middle of their third deadline and the 1991-92 book will be out in August of this year. The editor of that book, Andrea Oakes, plans to finish that book on her own this year. The book that Goetz will be in charge of will come out in August of '93. "I have three really dedicated staff members and they are all willing to come back next year," said Goetz. She plans to have a small staff next year with a total of nine or ten people. A smaller staff will allow Goetz to pay those people more and the staff should be more dedicated. "I've already talked to my advisor about attending a workshop in High Point this summer with the three returning staff members," said Goetz. Interviews will be held in the fall for additional staff members. "Everybody buy a yearbook and that will help us out a lot." Laura Adams said her business sense helped her get the position as editor of The Western Carolinian. "I have had a lot of experience on the business side of the paper and everyone is concerned about money in the recession," said Adams She has also held a number of different positions at the Carolinian so she will be well-rounded and able to train people.

'Taste" from Front cause of the ease of preparation and because it hadn't been done previously. In their comparisons, Oscar Meyer bested Gwaltney, however, hot dogs in general seemed to be less popular than most other foods. "The tremendous difference between the lemonades surprised even me," said Ken Bauer of the lemonade group. Another member, Matt McCord, said that most people assumed all lemonade was the same, but this group wanted to prove people wrong. Wylers was the leading lemonade while Country Time came in second. Kool Aid received third place. In Jay Deese's and Jay Christman's group, picante sauce was on the palate, and Chi-Chi's came away with the top slot, followed by Old El Paso. In the kosher dill pickle selection, Cates was #1 with Mt. Olive and Roddenberry' s found second and third respectively. Vlassic dill pickles were unavailable for testing. "I liked all the brands but some were wilted or discolored," said participant Kara Frazier. portantbecause Adams said the newspaper is losing quite a number of upper-level staff. She plans to implement a computer training session because a new system is going to be installed. She also plans to work with cross-training. "This is where each person is trained to be competent in more than one area "One example of this is my photographer will also write. Everyone will be trained to do layout so we will never be short in that area." Adams has no plans to change the actual design of the paper, but she is open to suggestions. "The paper is in better shape now than it has been in a decade," said Adams. Although she has not had any journalism courses, she is planning on taking some this summer. She will take over the paper this summerwith two summer issues, 12 issues in the fall and 12 in the spring of next year. "I plan to continue distribution both on campus and off campus. I will also continue printing 3,800 copies. If the need arises I can go to four thousand, but I'd rather not." Adams said she has a good relationship with the administration and has found them very easy to work with. New ideas that she has for the paper include an events page to print items such as the Cullowhee Arts Festival schedule, and guest columnists that are either postgraduates or professors. Bob McCanless will officially take over as general manager of Z-91 on Tuesday, April 28. "I'm looking forward to this fall because we have some exciting things planned." McCanless said both his experience at the campus station and the fact that his major is communications helped him get this position. "We're always looking for ways to improve this station's image." "In radio you can't please all of the people all of the time, but we definitely want to please as many as possible." McCanless said the station has some consistency established and he definitely wants to keep that. The last radio survey was done in the fall of 1990. "I would love to have another survey done on the WCU campus so that we can stay on top of the new trends. If Bluegrass Rap suddenly became popular we would want to know about that." McCanless commends Brian Queen for his good work as general manager for the station this year. "We have the most technologically advanced station in Western North Carolina." The fact that the station made some major equipment purchases in the last three years will free up a lot of the cost if any emergencies arise. "I like the people I will be working with. A couple of my staff will be doing internships and they should bring back a wealth of information in the fall." McCanless welcomes anyone who wants to come up and help out the station in order to get some radio experience. He has worked with Dr. Stillion in the past and feels good about his relationship with the ad ministration. McCanless welcomes any public comments and opinions about the station.
