JCSU Showcase
Moves To New
Time On WPEG
“The Johnson C. Smith Univers
ity Showcase,” aired weekly on
WPEG, 98FM, has moved to a new
time. The show, previously aired
at 7:30 a.m. each Sunday morn
ing, can now be heard at 8:45 a.m.
“I am very pleased with the
change in time,” said Linda
Florence, producer and ho6t of the
“Showcase.” “I think there are a
number of benefits to the move."
“For one thing, it is more
convenient to our listening au
dience and two, it is sandwiched
between two programs that are
geared to the black audience,” she
said.
The show is aired immediately
following the “Black Beat,” a
syndicated radio show which ori
ginates out of Texas and is aired
immediately before a gospel show,
called “New Dimensions.”
The 15-minute radio show, which
is a talk show format, looks at
issues that are facing black higher
education in general and specific
programs and projects being held
at the JCSU campus.
Heel voters should support Demo
crats because “we are the party
that cares about people and
progress.”
For example. Hunt said, “In the
past three and one-half years
under the Democratic Administra
tion there has been about $7 billion
of new industrial investment that
created 110,000 new industrial
jobs.”
^^n^Robert^B^Iorgan^criticized^
his Republican opponent for using
“deceitful” practices in his tele
vision advertising. ‘‘He has
acknowledged that he had to-,
distort my record to get medial
attention,” Morgan said.
Hunt said Morgan was being
victimized by large amounts of
money sent to Morgan’s opponent
by "out-of-state special- and
vested-interest groups whose in
terests may be different from
Uiose of the people of North
Carolina."
Other statewide Democratic
candidates in attendance were Lt.
Governor Jimmy Green, Secretary
of State Thad Eure, State Auditor
candidate Edward Renfrow, Com
missioner of Insurance John In
gram, Attorney General Rufus
Edmisten and Commissioner of
Labor John Brooks. Commissioner
of Agriculture Jim Graham, State
I
Treasurer Harlan Boyles, and
Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion Craig Phillips sent repre
sentatives since they were unable
to attend.
Ninth District Chairman Ben
Franklin said, "The rally was a
great show of unity for Democrats
in the Ninth Congressional
District.” The Ninth District is
composed of Iredell, Lincoln and
Mecklenburg counties.
