WACR To Begin Operation
On April 15, Poe Announces
By ALTON LEE, Jr.
Collegiate Editor
When is the student radio sta
tion going on the air? That’s a
question that almost everyone on
campus is asking these days. TTie
CoUegiate approached Buck Poe,
station manager for comment.
Poe said, “WACR is now m
the process of getting transmitters
for the campus. If all goes as plan
ned, the radio station will begin
operation April 15. The stadio is
now being sound-proofed m the mu
sic building. _ . j
“The broadcasting schedule wUl
be from 6 p.m. until 12 a.m., Mon
day through Friday; the sta
tion will eventually broadcast on
weekends.
“Music of the popular variety will
be played most of the time with
other types intermixed during the
broadcasting schedule. There will
be a request program on for stu
dents who would like to hear spe
cial songs played.”
Poe lurged interested persons
who would like to help with the sta
tion not to hesitate. He asked that
he be contacted in room 221 of
Hackney Hall or that aspiring ra
dio personnel see other members
of the student staff now holding
regular meetings.
Other staff members were un
available for comment concerning
the starting date for the radio
station.
appointed a committee to consult
with the Athletic Committee to find
out all facets of involvement with
the Bohnuk in the past and report
at the next meeting.
Jim Van Camp said he had
made an appointment with the
president of ECC to discuss the
Bohunk and asked the advice of
the board as to whether he should
go in view of the Council report.
Warren suggested Van Camp go
ahead with the meeting in order
to find what EC’s views are and
have a proposal ready just in cage
the students receive permission to
handle the Bohunk from now on.
The board discussed the Coopera
tive Association meeting Tuesday
at which the basketball team was
honored. Warren presented plans
and Smith submitted a rough draft
of a resolution to (be read at the
meeting. 'There was discussion as
to whether to use “because” or
‘whereas” in the resolution. Where
as was decided upon and the reso
lution was accepted.
Mike Busby presented informa
tion to the board -about the North
State Student Government Associ
ation. He explained that Lenoir
Rhyne is in the process of amend
ing the constitution of the Associ
ation and would like the ACC
board to vote on the suggested
amendments. Smith interjected he
did not know the purpose of the
worth to the member schools.
Busby read the purpose of the
association which is to “provide
for an exchange of ideas and to
provide a meeting ground and of
fer free discussion on ideas and
improvement in student govern
ments.” Smith said he realized
what the organization was suppos
ed to be but had received no cor
respondence except for a date for
the convention. Dr. William Trout
man felt that Smith’s doubts were
warranted because he, too, had
heard little about the organization.
Busby expressed the opinion it was
not that the organization was not
functioning, but the board was at
fault because it had not put any
thing into it. The past president
had not worked, thus no materials
had been sent out, he said.
Both amendments to the North
State Student Government Associ
ation concerning dues and meet
ing places were passed.
At this point of the meeting
Smith and several other members
of the board left and Ken Bryan
took the president’s chair. The Exe
cutive Board went into a commit
tee as a whole to discuss rules to
govern the board which are to be
presented for a vote at a later
date.
