Progress for Dialogue '69
ByLOUPEARCE
There is nofgbing to be a special
religious emphasis week this year.
At first glance when a person sees
Religious Emphasis Week, she im
mediately thinks, “Umph — a week
of emphasizing religion.” This year
will not be a week of emphasizing
religion; instead, we hope that this
week will be one of dialogue and
communication between room and
suite-mates, you and people on
your hall, under- and upper
classmen, faculty and students, etc.
We hope that the things that you
experience will cause you to want
to talk with other persons.

What...
No Bells!!
By BROOKS McGIRT
I remember my Freshman year—
how those bells rang all the time.
There were bells all day long;
there was a bell to get up by, a
bell to go to class by, a bell cheer
fully reminding you all day what
time it was, a bell announcing the
arrival of the supper hour, and at
last, a bell to tell you it was almost
time for bed. They were a nuisance
at first, all that ringing; but gradu
ally they came to b^e old friends—
something we could always rely on
to wake us up or to end a boring
class.
I remember those bells, all right;
and boy, do I miss them this year.
Editors Note: In an effort to
further interinstitutional coopera
tion with other Raleigh colleges,
the Twig will periodically print
information of interest to Meredith
Students from news releases from
these other campuses.
WSHA-FM, a new non-commer
cial education radio station, began
broadcasting from the campus of
Shaw University the week of No
vember 11. WSHA-FM, a ten watt
station, is expected to produce a
signal that should cover most of the
city of Raleigh at 88.9 on the FM
dial.
WSHA has been established to
serve the entire Raleigh community
educationally and culturally as well
as to train Shaw students to be
come professional broadcasters as
part of the new Communications
curriculum being established at
Shaw. Thirty-one programs will
originate locally. Others will be via
special tapes from the National
Educational Radio Network and
from Broadcasting Foundation of
America. WSHA’s broadcast day
will initially operate five days a
week, Mondays through Fridays,
from four o’clock in the afternoon
until ten o’clock in the evening. As
the staff expands, the hours will
increase, and the station plans to
eventually broadcast seven days a
week throughout the year.
The programming is arranged in
three general blocks. From four to
six p.m., WHSA will emphasize
news, educational programs, in
structional series for school children
plus international coverage of sig
nificant events. The international
news, to be aired daily at five p.m.,
will be via the National Educational
Radio network and Broadcasting
Foundation of America and will in
clude reports from England, France,
Canada, Europe and other nations
which provide news through this
service. Following the newscasts
will be music or interviews, via
tape, from many nations.
From six to eight p.m., WSHA
will emphasize live interviews and
discussions featuring people from
the Raleigh community, guests from
other colleges as well as outstand
ing faculty and student personali
ties from the Shaw campus. Nightly
at 6:30 there will be a special series
on many aspects of the history and
the present of the black man in his
various environments.

tertaining and successful event.
Dale Cunningham said, “I was
so terrified that I couldn’t even hear
the boys’ answers and I just took
[)ot luck on selecting one. He seems
like a great guy, and I’m really look
ing forward to our date.”

Jane Holt shared Dale’s feelings,
and commented, “I liked the whole
idea of the dating game from the
beginning. I especially thought the
idea of a mixer after the program
which was suggested by one of the
boys was a good idea for future
dating games.”
