PAGES LANCE MARCH 14,1985 WSAP • • On the Air (Continued from page 1) Radio station organizers hope that the initiative shown this year will be remembered by the Student Senate when it drafts next year’s budget. Other barriers are being over come through the help of WE WO radio station in Laurinburg. Bryce Wilson of WEWO offered WSAP a free newsline, and some training for disc jockeys. Yet another barrier was crossed with the acquisition of Paul Gratz as advisor. Gratz sponsored Sue Scott and Debbie Egan in their Guided Independent Study pro ject dedicated to the rebuilding of the radio station. “Without his* and Laurey’s help, we wouldn’t be where we are right now,” laments Sue Scott. Scott indicated several other students who were of great help: Joanne Ketch, assistant manager; Trina Morris, business manager; Kathy McGown, program manager; Meg Ridgely, chief disc jockey; and April Foxworth. Other officers are John Ledford, production: David Davenport, public relations; and Diana Jones, secretary. The latest step toward prepara tion for broadcasting was the presentation of the charter. Most ly because of last year’s problems with the station, the media sub committee asked for very thorough charters, with provi sions in the by-laws for checks and balances against the abuse of finances, and power. Laurey Mur- phey said that the radio station’s submitted charter was the best that she had seen during her term as Assistant Dean of Students. Student Life unanimously voted to accept the che ter, which was vuiusual, considering the weak reputation help by the station, ac cording to Murphy. Now, the last barrier between an idea and the reality of twelve daily hours of WSAP is the phone company hookup and equalizer installation. The hookup was first delayed because a $125 phone bill from the summer of 1984 was impaid. The Senate, however, picked up that bill last fall. The current delay is caused by an investigation into the necessity of such a hookup. Finally, the radio station cannot succeed without listeners and ex tensive campus support. Andrew Sharp gave up on the radio sta tion last fall when nobody came to an organizational meeting, but the current staff has been able to stir enough interest. Specific ideas to encourage listeners include a disc jockey-oriented program, so that friends of the jockeys wiU be aware of the style of music the jockey will play, and be prepared to listen to their friend’s show. Pizza give aways are also an ticipated to encourage many listeners. Showtime Pizza has donated pizzas to WSAP, which will sell station membership cards and give pizzas away to ran domly selected members. The winner, of course, must be listen ing to win.
