MCTV is the Meredith connection
by Melissa Massengill
It may not be as ‘unsportsmanlike’
as CBS. Or as “fresh" as NBC or as
'racy’ as FOX, but MCTV does have
one advantage over these stations. Its
purpose is to keep Meredith students
informed of activities, events and or
ganizations on our campus.
In essence, Meredidi has its own
little television station in the library.
Cindy Bovrting oversees MCTV, but
students run evervthins there.
iitudents can get trained in any TV
area they want at MCTV, Boeing said.
MClV runs channels 5,10 and 13
and three types of programming for
students.
Channel 5 is perhaps the most im
portant channel for students because
it broadcasts prc^ninuning of campus
events, job opportunities and classi
fied ads.
The )ob listings come straight from
Career Services, the events come from
Dr. Mason's office and the classified
ads come from Meredith students.
Bowlii^ said Uiat she ^hed more
students would use channel S for
posting events instead of wasting pa
per making flyers and banners, espe
cially since the paper recyclii^ bins
have been taken out of the residence
halls.
MCTV created a new campaign to
reduce paper wasteandincreaseMCTV
use as well.
The ‘Send Us Your Posters’ cam
paign gives or^nizations the chance
to send MCTV their flyers and posters
to broadcast on channel 5 free of
chaise.
Organizations and individuals can
pick up forms and a MCTV program
ming schedule in C^e Center.
This campai^ also applies to clas
sified ads. If anyone on campus has
something she wants to sell, like books
or furniture, she can fill out a form and
MCTV will post it free of charge.
Channels 10 and 13 broadcast pro
gramming from the library’s video
sources and videos students make for
projects in'Bowling's video class and
ftom other classes.
Bowling said that MCTV has had ‘a
30 percent increase in programming
ftom last year, but we could do a lot
more for people if they knew we were
here."
Bowling teaches a video produc
tion class at Meredith that teaches stu
dents the Aindamentals of video jour-
fialism, broadcasting, film editing, and
the proper use of video cameras.
Bowling said that there are no pre-
.requisitesorexperience needed to take
the class, and she stresses that the class
is defmitety handson training.
Bowling said that tfie class is good
for Teaching Fellows in particular be
cause they may want to stimulate cre
ativity in students by getting them to
do video projects in the future. But the
class is open to all students and is
actually fun, she said.
Bowling is also the advisor for the
Video Gub on campus.
The Video Qid) produces many
programs indudii^, a Topic of the
Week program, Comhuskio’ videos,
andalso give out the ‘Mickey* Awards.
Thevideo club gathers videos made
by students for the year and the videos
are jw^ed by foculty members in vari
ous categories.
Students receive ‘Mickey" awards
in April, and Bowling said the ‘Mickey"
awa^ are a way to give back to the
Meredith community.
This year the Video Qub is offering
students the opportunity to get a pri
vate backstage tour at Universal Stu
dios in Oriando, Fla. over Fall Break.
All students are invited to partici
pate.
The Video Club is paying h^fof the
expenses, so students only pay $125
for transportation, entrance into the
park, and everything else except food
