Terrie Bentley StaffWriter The computer program on which WWCU writes its playlist does in fact come from Alabama, another disk jockey has told The Western Carolinian. Supplying a copy of the playlist, the DJ explained that the computer program that the playlist is written on in the general manager's office at Z-91 comes from WBLZ in ' Mobile, Alabama. Z-91 General Manager Bob McCanless said that the MusicScan computer program was "pioneered at WBLX in Mobile, Alabama" and it is "made commercially available to stations." The program director at WBLX, McCanless said, programmed the computer for the playlist to say the station's location. The book that came with the program to change the location was lost, McCanless added. The last time they tried to change it, they almost caused a major error in the program up, so they decided to leave it alone. The Western Carolinian called WBLX but the business office was closed. The DJ believes the program being used at Z-91 is "pirated." He said, "If the FCC found out that, I have no idea what they'd do." In last week's article concerning the radio station, McCanless, Program Director Eddie Foxx, and Assitant Program Director Jess Cress all said that the reason Dave Williams was fired was because he signed FCC logs "Dave F—ing Williams," although they said that Williams' behavior did play a part in it. According to an internal memo that the DJ also supplied, dated March 20 & 21, Cress wrote, "...I would like to take this brief moment to point out the fact that the programming staff does in fact work long and hard hours for the sole purpose of providing you guys, the faithful jox of WWCU, with music logs. In return for this all we ask of you is that you follow them and make the listeners believe that you love it. Now I'm not implying that any of you have been deviating from them recently... just that you should keep in mind that Dave Williams also thought he could deviate from the format, now he is unemployed..." The DJ said, "We can play requests in the bottom half of the hour but it's supposed to follow the Top 40 format." "No one wants to hear Top 40," he added. "The college idea is to be introduced to new things. Nobody listens to the radio station." As far as the playlist goes, "They could make up their own copy if they didn't use this pirated copy." He added that the playlist is "public domain, you can see it anytime you want to (because of the) Freedom of Sunshine Act." Student government senate reports ... Terrie Bentley StaffWriter Hand towels may be placed in the restrooms of all residence halls, because of a resolution passed by the Student Senate on March 30. The resolution, which was originally sponsored by Senator Jay Small, called for hand towels to be placed in dispensors in the visitor restrooms of each dorm. Senator Courtney Montross talked with the Residence Hall Coun cil, and they said they would look into getting towels placed in all restrooms, but they'd also have to look at the budget to see if it was feasible to do so. In other news, SGA Vice- President Shannon Elliotte called for Senators of this Year nominations. Senators Chris Dillow, Courtney Montross, Jay Small, Jeff Sykes, and Mike Turner were nominated. The award will be given at a SGA banquet in mid-April when the new administration is sworn in.
