PAGE EIGHT CHAPEL HILL NEWS LEADER iV) ni i „ri!' ( M lil !' I'' WUNC's Making Name For Itself m By CURTIS GANS In its three years of opera tion, WUNC, the University’s radio station, operating on a fre quency of 91.5 megacycles on the FM band, has made a name for itself among discriminating listener;; in the earea and as far a.vay as VViimington aud Mt. It.dt.hjil. Now beginning its f earth year, the station is haip- perod by lack of funds, but is c.nTcntly operating On more p.^'wer and longer hours than ever b:;fore. gt..;lent-kuh With the single exception of lha managin’, John Young, WUNC i= e.itirely stUdent-run, with It iinie Thomds, Butch Cul- breth, Phil Goodman, Tom Spain, Da’vi.d Setzer, Miss Donna Ash craft, Don l atlerson and Jim vVilk’n,; doing much of the ad- nen’st aiive and technical work. 'fhe static n attributes part of its success to its policy of “In- iCi. 18 %. 22 formality with Dignity,” and to the industry of its individual participants. The staff of the station is made up of some 35 students with varying degrees of professional experience. These students write, produce and direct their own shows. Another policy of the station that has met with eonsiaerable favor in the area is to bring to the radio audience programs that would otherwise go unno ticed and unheard through other stations. Thus, W''UNC broadcasts all major speeches and concerts held on campus,' and such pro grams as “Let’s Listen to Op era” run som:;times continuous ly for three hours. The station is sometimes open to the cry that programming is too serious. However, this the station considers one of its main assets, and points with pride to a letter from an avid listner which said that WUNC is a “oa sis in a cultural desert.” In the beginning of the sum mer,, the station stepped up its power from 1,450 watts to 15,500 watts, but is handicapped by the fact its transmitting aerial is but 75 feet high. The station is now operating a half hour a day longer than in previous years. Programming begins at 6:30 p.m. and contin ues to 11:30 p.m. The station is in operation seven days a week, and is closed only for Christmas and summer recesses. The main problem of the sta tion is financial. In the begin ning, the station was a relative ly small operation, but since it has grown, it has exceeding dif ficulty in living within the Pud- get set by the D.^pt. of Radio, Television and Motion Pictures. The station is hoping for an in crease in allowance from either the state or the university; how ever, none is in sight at present, according to a spokesman. Yet, even without a large bud ge! the station can claim a uni que uonor. This came in the form of a letter of praise to WUNC from a Duke g;’aduate .student, why said WUNC is so pleasing that many of the Duke students (including the writer) are listen ing to WUNC rather than the Duke campus station.
