SGA President candidly speaks
Tom Query busy at work bringing sweet chords of music to the ears of students at the
end of their weary day.
Music Machine—a popular radio campus program
88.3 on your FM dail. Ring a bell? If not
here’s another hint: 88.3 FM Thursday
night from 10-12:15. If you are any type of
music connoisseur, then you should imme
diately respond—“The Late Night Music
Machine” hosted by Tom Query.
The program, which was started last year,
is now a big success on campus as it spe
cializes in broadcasting the Top Forty secu
lar and Christian songs. If things go as ex
pected the show might expand to two nights
a week and a talk show might be added. The
show now averages about 75 calls a night for
requests. Tom is assisted by six staff mem
bers. Three which man the phones, two
comedy writers and one who assists with the
records for the evening.
Tom describes the musical taste of G-W
as “normal”. He ascribes the popularity of
the show to the fact that the show is
“dynamic, entertaining and just a fun
show.” Tom also tries'to give the program a
‘ ‘ spiritual emphasis. ’ ’
The ultimate go£j of the show is not only
appeal to the campus as a whole, but also to
the community in trying to serve the educa
tional and inspirational needs of everyone
and yet be entertaining.
The following is a verba
tim transcript of an inter
view between SGA Presi
dent Bill Baucom and the
Editor of the Pilot. The pur
pose is to fully inform the
students of G-W with those
in positions that will direct
ly or indirectly shape policy
and make decisions concern
ing the total student wel
fare. Some editing done due
to lack of space.
Ed.—What is the role of
Student Government?
BB—The student govern
ment role is to actively unite
all of the students to work
together for one common
goal, basically to listen to
their gripes, their com
plaints and effectively chan
nel them into the right
areas.
Ed.—How do you as pres
ident see yoiu-self in that
role?
BB—As a mediator or
moderator between the ad
ministration and the stu
dents, basically wanting
just to help both of them
understand each other just a
little better.
Ed.—Do you have any
ideas that would better stu-
The practice of selecting Homecoming courts has been with us for some time. This
This picture out of the Pilot files dates back to Homecoming ’56 (according to our files).
The girls then are as beautiful as they are now.
BB—There are a million
ideas that would better stu
dent government. But, right
now I think the main thing
is just enthusiasm in the
student body. Right now I
think we are all in a higher
key, feeling alot better, so I
think enthusiasm should do
away with apathy.
Ed. —How are student
problems handled when
brought to your office?-
BB—First of all they are
discussed by the Executive
Council and we try to take
them to the needed faculty
or administrator it needs to
be taken to.
Ed.—Who makes up this
Executive council?
BB—The SGA president,
vice-president, secretary,
treasurer, the Student
Center Board Chairman and
an elected representative
from each male dorm and
the president of AWS.
Ed.—To what extent does
the SGA try to find out the
wants £md ne^s of stu
dents?
BB—There are a lot of
ways, basically the best way
is just talking to people,
we’re going to send out
anpther questionnafre in the
latter part of this semester.
We should get a little more
feedback, but basically just
trying to listen to all of the
complaints. The Senate is
the main way to listen to
complaints.
Ed.—What in your opin
ion are students wanting or
asking for now—being as
specific as possible?
B!p—More Open House,
dorm visitation things like
that. More entertainment
and activities to on the
Ed.—To what extent are
those two areas being imple
mented?
BB—Right now there is a
dorm visitation and open
house committee that met
last Monday evening and
twice before trying to final
ize some plans to present
them to Mr. Banner and
Miss Kiser. And the week
end activities, as you know
Dr. Williams gave us $3,000
