"MvaE o 111C iNtiw;? rcutuctiy i^avj Campus ^{appenings SIUraNDVLK: A New Student Talk Show By Eugenia C. Williamson It’s called StudenTalk There’s a new show for you to view but it’s not on your local television station, cable or showtime. It’s right here on the campus of Win- ston-Salem State University in room 228 of the Hall-Pat- terson building. The name of this show is StudenTalk. StudenTalk was created, di rected and produced by a young man who is a sopho more from Salisbury, NC ma joring in English. We owe all the credit to Mr. Craig Thomas. Thomas who is a mem ber of the Student Activities/ Student Union Program Board feels that the show is an excellent concept to help dismantle student apathy. “StudenTalk was designed for the benefit of the students. It’s a “learning lab,” so to speak, to allow students to learn from as well as inform their peers on matters of STUDENTALK Hostess Stacey ' Stone. Photo By: Tuttle importance to our generation,” stated Thomas. After Thomas completed all the “paper work,” his next step was to find a young lady with plenty of talent, one who is audible and one who carries herself in a very professional manner. After he had a con versation with Dr. Fred A. Eady, he didn’t have to look any further. Eady informed Thomas that he knew a young lady who wanted to be a talk show hostess as her long term goal. The hostess of StudenTalk is a senior from Martinsville, VA, with a major in Mass Com munications and a minor in Po litical Science and her name is none other than Ms. Stacey “Plug” Stone. She feels that the show is something more for the students to participate in other WSNC -FM Gears Up By Georgellen Brown Yes, WSSU, the new WSNC 90.5 FM is back on the block. That’s right, the NEW. New meaning “that we are more consistant”, stated Joe Watson station manager for the radio sta tion. “If we say that we are going to be on for 17 hours a day, then we will,”explained Watson. He also said that the station’s for mat is to promote WSSU, and its overall goal is to be “Win ston-Salem’s premire FM sta tion”. This semester’s executive staff includes. Derrick Whit more, as program director. Whitmore filled this position in the September 1989. He was selected overg various appli cants who had appliel. Filling the position as Music Director is Josh Smith. Wyndee Bridges serves as Traf fic Manager and Production is headed by Forrest McFeters. John Little heads News and Sports, and the stations Public Relations area is kept together by Patrice Gibson. Listeners can tune into WSNC seven days a week starting at 8 a.m. with the “wake- up” team and continuing until 1 a.m. There are a variety of speci ality shows that will be featured Monday-Thursday on WSNC. These shows include: Jazz on Monday’s Gospel is highlightened on Tuesdays, Reggae on Wednesday”s, and Oldies on Thursdays. Each of these pro grams start at 7 p.m. and end at 10 p.m. But, on the other hand, if you just like to relax; WSNC’s staff invites you to tune into Silhouettes every night from 10 p.m. until sign-off time at 1 a.m. Also to add to the new WSNC, the FCC has increased the station’s wattage but on approval than a basketball or football game and a party. The show also creates thought-provoking and very controversial issues which leaves the students with something to think about said Stone. She isn’t trying to teach them anytliing, she mainly wants the students to relate with each other and maybe some answers may occur from all this confusion amongst the black race. Stone was very pleased with the feedback they received firom the first show but minor improvements are needed and they will be ironed out as there are more shows. One of the panelist, Mr. Stephen Maddox, senior, from Akron, Ohio, feels that the show is a good outlet for students to utilize their ability to think about issues that are pertinent to African Americans in this country. Viewer, Brian K. Reaves, senior. Business Administration major, feels that the show al lows students to express their opinion openly on black issues. Reaves also feels that these is sues may create unity and hopefully may gain a little respect for one another. StudenTalk was designed for the students and by stu dents. So if you haven’t viewed the newest show around, then keep watching for the next scheduled show and participate. only. Meaning that they have some regulations to follow and if they do not follow them, the FCC can take them back. WSNC’s wattage had increased firom 125 watts to 10,000 watts. Mr. Whitmore stated that they have to wait for the proper test equipment to facilitate 10,000 watts, and money before the power increase takes effect.
