Student Radio is the newest
campus organization to be recog
nized by the Wesleyan Student
Government Association.
The club, currently consisting
of 20 members, is organized to
provide student-controlled radio
programming to supplement the
current public broadcasting on
WESQ, the North Carolina Wes
leyan College radio station. The
student broadcasts would provide
the audio for North Carolina
Wesleyan’s cable television chan
nel, and would not be broadcast
except on that channel. The tar
get start-up date for Student Ra
dio is Apr. L
Lawrence Guyot, president of
Student Radio, said that since
WESQ is a public radio station
there was a need to create an
other station set up and operated
by students. However, Guyot said
the station and its broadcasting
would be open to staff and fac
ulty in order to provide everyone
on campus with an opportunity
to participate.
The goal of Student Radio is
to provide for every type of taste
represented in the Wesleyan
community. Guyot also detailed
several broadcasting regulations
that were being implemented by
the club. Although these regula
tions would not be sponsored by
the FCC, they could cover use of
profanity, slander, and other
broadcast violations. *
Student Radio has asked the
Student Government Association
for $2,(X)0 in funding. An anony
mous donor has pledged to give
$5(X) if the SGA ai^roves fund
ing.
Student Radio meets each
Tuesday night at 9 p.m. in the
South Hall lobby. Those who
wish to participate in Student Ra
dio or have programming ideas
are asked to contact either
Lawrence Guyot at Box 3347 or
Alex MacDot^d at Box 3604.
NCWC Republicans attend state convention
By JBVOVnLYN ROSSON
Five students from Wesleyan
attended the North Carolina
Federation of College Republi
cans (NCFCR) Spring Conven
tion Feb. 19 at the State Capital
Holiday Inn, in Raleigh.
Republican students came
from all over the state, represent
ing various colleges. Some of the
colleges in attendance were Duke,
UNC (delegates from all cam
puses), Elon, Campbell, and
Methodist, among others.
For NCWC College Republi
cans, (CR), the day began when
delegates left campus around 7:30
a.m.. Arriving in Raleigh, the
Wesleyan CR’s acquainted them
selves with people from other col
leges.
TTiere were a number of speak
ers, one of which was North
Carolina’s 2nd District Congres
sional candidate and former U.S.
Ambassador to Romania, Dr.
David Funderburk. Funderburk
was not alone when he made a
Clinton crack, as many other
speakers did as an introduction to
their speeches.
While discussing the possible
tobacco tax, Funderburk said,
“Qinton says he smoked mari
juana but didn’t inhale, well North
Carolinians say chew tobacco, but
don’t spit!”
Following Funderburk’s
speech, all delegates voted on pro
posed resolutions, one of which
was whether or not NCFCR was
to endorse Funderburk for Con
gress. Prior to this resolution,
there had been no objections, and
everything passed smoothly.
When this resolution was
brought up, Duke University del
egates strongly protested and
opened a debate that lasted for a
hour, putting the entire day’s
agenda behind schedule. The
decision was finally reached that
NCFCR would, in fact, endorse
Funderburk as 2nd District Con
gressional Candidate.
Before NCFCR held its o£Bcct
election, every college’s chairman
(club president) aimounced all the
projects they are planning at their
schools, the number of conven
tion delegates in attendance from
their schools, and the number of
members in each colleges’
NCFCR ch^ter.
Wesleyan’s own CR Chairman
Brad B^tmes received a standing
ovation from the entire audience
aft^ announcing his ccms^ative
views, particularly when he said,
“I am not an African-American, I
am ablack American.” The crowd
roared with support Barnes was
the only chairman to receive a
standing ovation.
Other CR members represent
ing Wesleyan were Vice Presi
dent Derrick Cruz, Secretary
Jimmilyn Rosson, Treasurer
Brian Baker, and Greg Purcell.
