Media BoarcL WXY relations improyim.

Last September, a fourrmonth string of conflicts
and controversies began in the offices of UNCs
student radio station WXYC (89.3 FM).
But relations between WXYC staff members
and between the station and its board of directors
currently are much improved, WXYC
management and staff members say.
Between September and December 1977,
resignations, firings and verbal recriminations
rocked the station, the UNC Media Board and
Student Educational Broadcasting, Inc. SEB is the
board which replaced the Media Board as overseer
of budget, program and editorial content and
selection of the station's managers.
The station's troubles climaxed Nov. 17 when
two staffers took WXYC off the air to protest the
resignation of then-station manager Don Moore,
who currently is back at the station as its chief
engineer. .
Moore says the station now is "operating pretty
smoothly. The Ijoard of directors has stabilized
and we now have some safeguards."
Moore says Jim Srebro, chairperson of SEB, is
"keeping board members more involved." Another
safeguard, Moore says, is having a WXYC staff
member, currently Pat Peek; on the board.
Station Manager Gary Davis, appointed Jan.
27, as the first permanent station manager after a
string of interim managers, agrees tht the station is
running more smoothly. "When 1 was appointed,
everyone that had resigned came back," Davis
says. .
Peek, a WXYC disk jockey, says "1 feel a lot
better about workinn there this vear. I don't think
there's any of the tension there was last year."
WXYC's main problems currently concern
programming and audience targetting, Davis says.
A survey taken by a business administration
class last April showed that jazz was the second
most popular music type among UNC students. As
a result of that survey and in an attempt to boost
the station's listenership ratings, Davis says
WXYC has increased the length of its Wednesday
night jazz show.
"We're considering another night of jazz," Davis
said. "The newer jazz, the type that's coming out
now."
Moore said antother problem the station is
facing is that it does not receive enough feedback
about its programming from its audience. He said
that anyone who wants to express an opinion on
WXYC's programming should contact Davis at
the station.

"Hark, the sound of Tar Heel voices..."
Singing praises of the finest traditions of
Carolina life the Old WeU, Carolina
football, Wilson Library and the Honor
Code. The Honor Code?
During the next few weeks, the
subcommittee of the Committee on
Student Conduct headed by E. Willis
Brooks will be unveiling a series of press
releases and radio spots, some employing
traditional Tar Heel tunes, designed to
raise students' consciousness and support
for the Honor Code.
"We want to say to the students, The
Honor Code is here for your benefit, and
it also works, " Brooks said.
-The Honor Code is one of the finest
traditions of Carolina, and that is the way
we want to present it to the students."
Brooks subcommittee was. formed by
the Faculty Council last spring in an
effort to devise educational programs for
students about the revised Honor Code.
The Honor Code no longer contains the
so-called rat clause requiring students to
either report observed instances of
cheating or face prosecution in Honor
Court for failing to do so.
The subcommittee plans to distribute
four timed news releases through the
. University News Bureau and to air at
least two and as many as six "media
appeals through the cooperation of
WCHL radio and the Department of
Radio, Television and Motion Pictures.
The media appeals will include taped
messages dubbed over soft background
music with a Carolina theme.
The subcommittee will attempt to have
these appeals run as free public service
anftotineeenl '
may run paid advertisements if it cannot
get sufficient free air time.
"We hope to use virtually all of the
media in Chapel Hill (for this
campaign), Brooks said.
"Our subcommittee has four basic
goals along with the subcommittee
four faculty Honor- Code education
headed by Dr. (Thomas) Isenhour.
"These goals, briefly, are ( l ) to educate
students about the Honor Code, (2) to
apprise returning students of the changes
in the Honor Code, (3) to convince all
students and faculty that the H onor Code
works, and (4) to gain support for the
system."
The subcommittee intends to meet
these goals not only through media
appeals but through a series of talks and
prepared statements, some of which have
already been presented during Tar Heel
Days (a summer introduction to UNC for
incoming freshmen, transfers and their
parents) and during Orientation.
The subcommittee prepared
statements about the Honor Code for use
by Orientation counselors and General
College advisers. It also has planned to
make presentations to large student
groups such as fraternities, sororities and
other organizations.
A copy of the Instrument of Student
Judicial Governance has been distributed
to every dorm student under the auspices
of the subcommittee. Copies of the
Instrument carry a cover sheet directing
students attention to the pages which
specifically state student responsibilities
under the Honor Code.
Members of the Student Attorney
General's Office also will be distributing
copies of the instrument this week
between 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Y court,
undergraduate library and -Student.

Faculty, administrators enthusiastic
about Honor Code education plans
' By DIANE NORMAN
Staff Writer
Unbridled enthusiasm is the response to the new
Honor Code educational programs evident among
faculty and administrators involved in the recent
revamping of the code:
A subcommittee of the Committee on Student
Conduct headed by E. Willis Brooks has formulated a
fnedia campaign plus a series of statements and
lectures designed to inform students and raise support
for the Honor Code.
The subcommittee was created last spring in the
wake of Honor Code alterations which eliminated the
so-called rat clause. The clause required students,
under penalty of Honor Court prosecution, to report
cheating.
- "There isn't any question but that there is a great
need for increased understanding of and confidence in
the Honor Code," said Vice Chancellor James O.
Cansler, chairperson of the Committee on Student
Conduct, about the education campaign.
"Any effort to improve the situation ought to be
supported. 1 believe that the committee is taking very
conscientious and creative steps toward accomplishing
its goals."
The committee has made a good beginning," said E.
.Maynard Adams, faculty chairperson. "It sounds like a
very fine program.
"Of course, this can't be a one-shot affair. We must
continue to make a concerted effort in calling the
Honor Code to the attention of the students and
faculty, especially around exam time," Adams added.
Thomas Isenhour, chairperson of the faculty Honor
Code education subcommittee, said he was delighted
with the plans put forth by the Brooks subcommittee.
"They are doing their job well. It's all a matter of
communication," Isenhour said.
"It is simply presenting to the students the difference
between professional and childish behavior.
"The students should not have to be sold or
brainwashed about the Honor Code," Isenhour said.
"We should be able to sit down and explain the
situation and the alternatives, and what needs to be
done becomes obvious."
"I am confident of the changes that will be realized
through these efforts (at Honor Code education),"
Cansler said.
