The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, October 31, 19853 SmdleM ' seirvke HkM By KIM WEAVER Staff Writer WllNC-radio, a public service of the University, will hold a listener marathon next month to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The radio station will hold its annual pledge marathon, "Listen 85." from Nov. 2 to Nov. 9 to try to raise $220,000 in listener contributions, said Jeanne Phillips, the station's developmental director. WUNC, which provides informational, educa tional and cultural programming for central North Carolina, depends on listener support, she said. Fifty percent of the station's funds come from private sources, 38 percent from contributions from the University and only 12 percent from federal support, she said. The station's format consists of news and information, and classical, jazz and folk music, broadcast without commercials, Phillips said. WUNC was a student-run station in the 1950s and '60s and went off the air in 1971. When the community demanded that the station return to the air, the University reactivated the service in 1976, she said. A survey conducted in spring 1985 revealed that the station attracted 83,300 listeners throughout central North Carolina. The station presently serves 40 counties in the state and four counties in Virginia. "While we're certainly a public service of UNC, we also serve a broad constituency," Phillips said. More than 200 volunteers will answer telephones and record pledges during the marathon, which starts at 5 a.m. on weekdays and 6 a.m. on weekends. "If 5,500 people would contribute an average of $40 each, we should be able to achieve our goal," Phillips said. To encourage contributions, individuals and businesses donate premiums, or incentives, for persons calling in to contribute a certain amount. Some of the gifts that will be offered to contributors include a WUNC 10th anniversary T shirt, a subscription to listen, WUNC's monthly magazine, catered dinners, a demonstration flight in a sailplane and a new book by Joe Graedon, who hosts a WUNC Saturday morning call-in show, "People's Pharmacy," she said. Some national companies, including Interna tional Business Machines Corporation arid Sperry Corporation, will match the tax-deductible contri butions of jtheir employees. Local restaurants have offered to donate meals for the volunteers, she said. Although WUNC will continue its regular 20 hour per day programming during the marathon, special guest interviews, performers, programs, and highlights from the past 10 years will be inserted into the regular format. Some of the special guests will include Chapel Hill Mayor Joe Nassif, Carrboro Mayor Jim Porto, Woody Durham, UNC president William C. Friday, Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham III and jazz singers Carol Sloane and Paul Montgomery. On Nov. 2, a jazz concert produced and recorded by WUNC will air nationally. Any student who wishes to volunteer his time for the marathon should contact Fred King at 966 5454 or stop by the station office in Swain Hall, Phillips said. College E&OTC ireqwires pMe? comnmEiment By DEMISE JOHNSON Staff Writer "A lot of times just getting up in the morning and getting ready for inspec tion, we'd ask ourselves, 'Is it worth it?' " said Wynn Matthews, a junior transfer student from Marion Military Institute in Marion, Ala. Matthews, from Winston-Salem, is a commissioned officer in the Army through the early commissioning pro gram, a high school Reserve Officers Training Corps program that sends students to a military school for two years after they graduate. Matthews described his ROTC train ing at Marion as difficult, but worth the effort. "Once we'd see something in the news involving the military, like the Grenada operation, the pride would come out," he said. That kind of pride is necessary to be in any branch of the military, whether in service or simply in a college ROTC program, and people without it don't stay in the ROTC, according to inter views with students and instructors in UNC's ROTC programs. There is a 50 percent dropout rate for Air Force ROTC members, said Capt. Joseph P. Avery, an associate professor in aeronautics and an AFROTC instructor. He said lack of commitment was the most common reason students dropped out. ROTC is not for everybody, said Rhon Rupp, a Naval ROTC dropout and a senior from Williamsport, Pa. "The thing I didn't like most was wearing the uniform on campus," Rupp said. "I felt like I was in the service already. I wanted to be a regular student, and they wanted me to get my hair cut." When Rupp was in ROTC from 1980 to 1982, the public morale toward the military was not as positive as it is now, he said. Time commitment is also a factor in the dropout rate, said David Dawson, a senior NROTC midshipman from Concord, Md. The ROTC's courses, drills and summer programs require a large amount of students' time. "In order to get full benefit of the ROTC, it has to be one of the primary activities in college," Dawson said. "The program itself has a lot of academic electives, and summers are usually taken up by programs." ROTC cadets must also meet string ent physical requirements. Among them are testing for color blindness, asthma and sleepwalking. One cannot enter the military if he sleepwalks, although Avery said he had no idea why it was important. Other requirements are weight and physical standards, such as being able to run three miles in 24 minutes. Lisa Toler, a senior AFROTC cadet from New Bern, said instructors would surprise cadets with weigh-ins, as they did last year right after the Christmas holidays. Staying in shape year-round is imperative to staying in the ROTC program, said Frank Linkous, a junior NROTC midshipman. "(The ROTC officers) keep an eye on you if you're near your maximum weight and put you on probation if you go over," he said. After the probationary period if the weight is not down to military levels, the cadet can be thrown out of the ROTC program. Speaking of his time at Marion, Matthews said he had to meet daily requirements. Grades, rooms, tardies, leaves from campus and mandatory study time all were monitored strictly with demerits and corporal punishment. "Those who didn't want to be there left," he said. At Marion, students could receive eight demerits per week, Matthews said. For every demerit over eight, the student would have to march for 25 minutes. "The Army is not as strict as the military schools," he said. "It's more of an ideal situation (in the schools)." The main thing the ROTC and the military teaches is to lead and to act responsibly, he said. Jim Wood, a freshman NROTC midshipman from Toledo, Ohio, agreed. "(But ROTC's) nothing like going through boot camp," he said. Wood served four years in the Marine Corps. "The ROTC's primary concern is academics," he said. "It's a big change coming from active duty to here." CSrainid receded for HnaimdlDcapped! awareness By DENISE JOHNSON Staff Writer The UNC curriculum in recreation administration has received a three-year grant for a project promoting handicapped awareness. The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education awarded the $237,000 grant for Project LIFE (Leisure is for Everyone), which will involve a series of workshops in eight cities during . its first year, said Carrie McCann,' project coordinators "The workshops are for able-bodied people to make 11 them aware that disabled people are able to be a part of the community as a whole, not just in activities specifically for the disabled," McCann said. "We want to give people the idea that everyone is responsible for serving the disabled, not just the specialists (those who are specially trained to work with the disabled)," she said. She described Project LIFE as a handicapped awareness program to help educate the public about the special needs of the handicapped. Various simulations of handicapped situations have been used in previous projects to make people aware of those special needs, she said. The second and third years of Project LIFE will involvethe production and nationwide distribution of audiovisual materials to help other cities recognize the capabilities of the handicapped, McCann said. "Our goal is to spread the philosphy (that handicapped people are employable) throughout the U.S. to educators and employers, so that disabled people can be integrated into the community," she said. The grant will pay for a training manual to be used in the workshops, travel expenses for the workshops, personnel and the production and distribution of the audiovisual tapes. The grant alone, however, will not cover all expenses, McCann said. "We will seek corporate and civic groups' funding for the project," she said. Workshops will begin next spring and the tapes will be produced and distributed in 1987 and 1988. Workshops are tentatively scheduled to be held in Chapel Hill and Wilmington; Charleston and Columbia, S.C.; Knoxville, Tenn.; Roanoke and Virginia Beach, Va.; and Washington, D.C.

DURHAM 705 Ninth St. (next to the Post Office) 286-1809 tsa ESI C3 By KAREN YOUNGBLOCD Staff Writer You have no money and don't know what to do. Before you sell blood or beg on Franklin Street, stop by the Student Part-Time Employment Ser vice in the Student Union. "The Student Part-Time Employ ment Service is a resource center for students looking for part-time or temporary jobs and local employers," said Karen Rindge, director of SPTES. "It's where students come to find jobs and employers list their jobs. It's a free service." SPTES has been operating about four years and consists of two services: one for part-time jobs and one for temporary jobs, Rindge said. "The temporary job service is the Student Work Force," she said. "It's different from the regular service in that students list their names with us first, and employers call in for students able to work temporarily." SPTES keeps a catalog in the office so students looking for a part-time job can come find one, Rindge said. "We list a job description directory with jobs listed in categories," she said. "Employers list with us and then it's up to the student to contact the employer, whereas with a temporary job the employer contacts the student." SPTES had about 300 students registered last year. About 50 students got jobs. The success rate seems distorted because of the record-keeping system, Rindge said. "Those (who get jobs) are the people who use us as the only source," she said. "They heard about the job through us and they contacted the employer Warden through us. That doesn't count the people who used other sources such as want ads." This semester, 100 students have registered with SPTES and 22 with the Student Work Force. Of those, 18 have been hired through SPTES. SPTES recently was allocated $1,764 by the Student Governing Council since it had not been funded through last year's budget process, said Ryke Long est, student body treasurer. Such an allotment is unusual, he said. Longest said SPTES would have gotten the money had it gone through the budget process last year. "They did not ask for a great deal of money," he said. "They are generally stable and an important office-holding organization. There's very little likeli hood they 11 die. Students need jobs and it's a great service to perform." Rindge said the money was going mostly for phone bills, mailing lists and publicity. Marlene Lair, a junior from Tryon, said she found a job last year through SPTES. "I wanted a babysitting job and most newspaper ads required that you have a car," she said. "I didn't have a car and L needed something near campus. It worked out real well." Rindge said just about any student could find a job through SPTES. "Most of our jobs do not require any previous skills," she said. "Some may not be glamorous, but they are part time and don't expect, specia! skills." SPTES and the Student Work Force are open from 1 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday in Room 207-B, Student Union. from page 1 say, 'I'm exhausted, I'm taking a week off,' " he says. "You go down to Florida for a week off with no work. Have you ever seen the moon there? No. The moon is always doing its job." Warden has a job with Bill Kamp Productions, a Raleigh firm that makes commercials. On campus, he works with Student Television, which nomi nated him for Mr. UNC. Among other things, Warden hosted a "Cuckoo Game Show" for STV. "He's very intelligent. He's not just kooky," says STV Production Director Shaun Wallace, a senior RTVMP major from Greenville. "He's kind of like a big teddy-bear kind of guy. I know very few people who don't like him or can't work with him." Basically, people say, Warden is fun to be near. "If you're in a bad mood, hell always put you in a good mood," says Chris Scott, a sophomore international studies major from Southern Pines. Scott and Warden live on the same hall in Mangum. Scott and Warden also lived on the same hall in Manly dorm last year. "For three weeks, I thought it was all an act nobody could be that outgoing," he says. "After that, I figured nobody could put on an act for this long. Bill's just naturally that outgoing." Warden says he is as happy as he appears. "I am very happy, but I'm just happy mostly to be here, just to be alive is such a thrill." This is the key to happiness, he says. "It's just a matter of simplifying things."
