Tiemann noted the combination
of a university-style curriculum
and a dedicated teaching faculty
is the greatest asset for Elon
business students, and he em
phasized the School’s commit
ment to continuing that tradition
as well as the blend of liberal arts
and professional education.
"Both the undergraduate and
MBA programs benefit from the
liberal arts atmosphere at Elon,”
he said. ”The School’s course of
ferings and requirements are
more like those found at major
universities than at institutions
comparable in size to Elon,” he
added. ”Yet the faculty here
always put teaching first.”
Tiemann received the
bachelor’s degree with honors
from Dartmouth College and the
Ph.D. in economics from
Vanderbilt University. He has
completed post-doctoral studies in
finance at the University of Kan
sas.
Tiemann came to Elon in 1984
from Wabash College, where he
was an assistant professor of
economics and acting chairman of
the department. He also served as
a faculty representative on the
college Budget Committee and as
a member of the Academic Policy
and Planning Committee, which
was responsible for curricular
matters at the college.
Tiemann has published for pro
fessional journals and currently
serves as a book and manuscript
reviewer for “Choice” and ‘‘The
Engineering Economist.” His
professional memberships include
the American Economic Associa
tion.

Elon College’s radio station has
been approved to receive a new
transmitter, according to station
manager Brian Moore.
Moore said the transmitter will
provide the station, WSOE, with
the same power but with ‘‘a little
more regularity.” The station’s
current transmitter has been a
burden financially, according to
Moore. All of WSOE’s budget is
now spent on just keeping the sta
tion on the air, he said.
He said the executive staff of
the station, as well as students.
have been frustrated because they
never know when a part on the
current transmitter will break and
the station will go off of the air.
WSOE was off the air Sunday.
The new transmitter will arrive
in sections, Moore said. The
piece known as the “exciter,”
which places WSOE at 89.3 on
the FM band, arrived Friday and
the transmitter itself will be built
in April, he said. The station will
keep its same monitoring equip
ment.
The transmitter is made by
Harris Corporation, who has a
“reputation worldwide for
building good equipment,”
Moore said. ”I’ve been pleased
with their response to our ques
tions,” he added. The company
sent its district manager to Elon
to talk with Don Grady, advisor
to WSOE, and others at the sta
tion, Moore said.
Moore said he was pleased by
that because a 500-watt station
such as WSOE is “peanuts” to a
company like Harris. WSOE’s
executive staff, student workers,
and Grady pushed for the
transmitter, Moore said, but
David Wright, the station’s
engineer, “really pushed for us
to pick it up.” He added Wright
is the person who keeps WSOE
on the air.
”It (the transmitter) will allow
us the freedom to do things other
than worrying about our transmit
ting equipment,” Moore said.
When asked how much the new
transmitter would cost, Moore
said he was under restraint from
the school not to release that
information.
