4 Thursday, September 191996 Features ®lj£ U-estern Carolinian Cat 39 Gets Sound PHOTO TERRY K. ROBERTS/WC Cat 39... the end of silence. ANN WRIGHT FEATURES EDITOR For a while now, Cable Channel 39 has functioned as WCU's main televised informational source. The channel routinely ran announcements about upcoming events on the WCU campus and the surrounding areas. Channel 39 was very different from other television channels in one other way, though: it was silent. The silence ended on Monday, September 16, at 6 p.m., when CAT 39 went on the air for the first time as a student-run, auditory newscasting station. Dr. Paul Gold and Dr. Lawrence Hill, both members of the communications department, developed the idea for the station over the summer, feeling that the campus needed another easily accessible news source. They also sensed a strong need in the department for a place where communications students could work and gain experience other than the campus radio station, which is for the campus at large and not affiliated with the communications department. CAT 39 will feature music, student-conducted interviews, commentaries, and radio plays composed in communications classes. The visual information previously available on Cable Channel 39 will still be present. Student Manager Ellen McCollum explained that the goal of CAT 39 is to do campus- related news stories. Everything sent by the Office of Public Information will be handed over to News and Public Affairs Director Hope Reeves, who will then make the copy suitable for broadcast. CAT 39 is not trying to compete with the campus radio station, WZZU. CAT 39s will be broadcast from 6-8 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays. Music will be chosen by CAT 39 deejays, and live PSAs will be broadcast within the format of the program. The deejay on duty on any given night will "screen" the music to avoid pro fane, sexist, or racist remarks. Also, there will be no commercials. Future goals of the station are to establish a "Man oh the Street" segment and conduct more student interviews. "I want this station to succeed," stated McCollum, "because when I started out in radio and television classes, I didn't know anything about stuff—using mixers and other equipment. "I was also very uncomfortable talking into the microphone; but, through experience and help from others, I learned. We want to be here so that new students will be able to come here and learn, too," McCollum added. McCollum also explained that Gold, the faculty adviser, has helped to put together a sign-on that will be played at the beginning of each 6 p.m. shift. However, McCollum stressed that the station is student-run. CAT 39 is headquartered in Killian room 135. For more information, call 227-7229. Catch the Spirit of 76 Flybait: A Local, Unknown In-Your-Face Band » The 1996-97 theatre season at Western Carolina University will open on an historic note with the Tony Award-winning musical "1776," a play about the nation's founding fathers, which hits the stage Tuesday, Sept. 24. "1776" brings to life the debates, behind-the-scenes maneuvering and compromises that led to the creation of the Declaration of Independence. As the play unfolds, the audience sees the Continental Congress move to a vote on the question of independence, select Thomas Jefferson to draft the Declaration, and return to the chamber for fiery arguments that lead to the final vote. Directed by Stephen Michael Ayers, who also has a role in the play, "1776" will be staged in Hoey Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, through Saturday, Sept. 28, with a matinee at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29. Renee Griffin is musical director, and Libby Trull is choreographer. The production features Sam Robison as John Adams, Chris Bumgarner as Benjamin Franklin, Steve Roten as Thomas Jefferson and Josh Cox as John Dickinson. Linda Haggard plays Abigail Adams and Valerie Dietz portrays Martha Jefferson. The cast includes Jeff Hedgecock, Sean Lakey, Travis Fore, Joey Price, Scott Corbin, Steve Bryson, Jeff Messer, Jess McNiel, Phil Haire, Shawn Farrell, Will Pickens, Brian Case, Rich Painchaud, Michael Ayers, Phil Stovall,Michelle Thomas, Cara Pearson, Chad Carpenter, Kevin DuFour and Adam Love. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for senior citizens, and $5 for students. Season tickets are still available; they are $40 for adults and $32 for senior citizens. For additional information or to order tickets, call the WCU department of communication and theatre arts at (704) 227-7491. Info & Photo by OPI. EARLE WHEELER ART DIRECTOR Here I am with two-thirds of Flybait, Scott Francis and Will Russell, a day after their first "big" live show at the TKE house. How was it? WR: We faired better than most. We came out without bruises or scratches. SF: The cops came, but they didn't make it through the outside gate. We had to turn down. Only two loyal fans were there dancing, which worked really well for "Dancing With Myself." They're the two coolest people in the world. How did it affect your future plans? SF: Flybait wants to play any show, any show. Anything. Especially for money. Money is good. Benefit shows are good, too. We like to help the needy when we can. Getting paid is nice, too. What other bands have you guys been in? WR: A high school punk band called the Warmongers. And a band in Asheville called M. Bro Haze & The Electric Bluesy Brown Band. SF: We [Scott and drummer Chris Carrier] played together in Pawn. That was kind of a grunge thing. Sort of garage grunge dirt metal stuff. Kind of like Tool but worse. What is Flybait's stance on the Cullowhee music scene? SF: Flybait is here basically to give somebody a choice of something to listen to besides the Grateful Dead, Hootie- Matthews-Traveler type stuff. It's a tongue-in-cheek look at all of the bands that were here before. Except Minus Us. They rocked. How would you describe Flybait's sound? SF: Flybait plays one of two ways. Stripped down to the basics, the songs are just about what I was feeling at the time. Writer's block or feeling stupid. Everyone else just adds their little part to it. I try to keep it as open and laid back as possible so they don't quit and I don't have to find other people to play. The other way I like it to sound is like someone put a chainsaw on the pickup. No, that's dumb. It's more like going to the dentist. WR: Aggressive and in your face. SF: No apologies. Where did the name come from? SF: Well, there was this redneck guru I knew, and he taught me a whole lot. He had a disco band named Flybait. He said the best show he ever played was when his band unplugged his guitar and he didn't find out until the end of the show. I'd like to think I'm paying homage to him. Hoxv long has Flybait been playing? SF: We started spring of last year. How did the band get so infamous so fast? SF: I think it's probably because, like my mentor Billy Corgan (he speaks to me in dreams), I have a big ego. You call yourselves punk. SF: I think punk is a really wierd word. It's a strange state of being. WR: The word "punk" has pretty much lost its meaning in the '90s. SF: I call us punk because a lot of people hate us. So if you want to call it punk, it's punk. How will Flybait overcome adversity? SF: Which adversity would that be? Cullowhee in general. WR: Persistence. SF: My philosophy is: we're going to play wherever. Someone wants us to play their party, fine. If not, good. I'll have more fun playing in my apartment. Home is where we wear our uniforms. Anything else you'd like to say? SF: Yeah, we love Chris. Wish he could be here. And thanks to the neighbors. You can write Flybait at P.O. Box 964, Cullowhee, NC 28723 or e-mail them at MF2549@wcu.edu.
