examination, their Servicemen's Group Life Insurance
to the new Veterans Group Life Insurance.

Food Stamp Outreach Program
The Department of Social
Services is attempting a
new approach in reaching
the people of Guilford
County. It had become very
obvious during the first
three months of the
Guilford County Food
Stamp program, that there
are many elderly, disabled,
and working poor that lack
adequate transportation to
get into the main offices in
both High Point and
Greensboro. In an answer
to this need, the Social
Service Department has set
up outstations at scattered
points in the county.
The Outreach Program
began in full operation on
October 15th and will be
running through November
15th, although the outsta
tions are now being viewed

students spctiric. to eo into
advanced research and
teaching.
Juliette describes the
experience as a “foot-in-
the-door-opportunity”. She
admits that at first it was
necessary to adjust to a
large, high-paced Univer
sity, but that the challenge
was "well worth it.’’
The director of the
program is Dr. Victor
Fields of Hampton Institute
and the faculty coordinator
is M.LT.’s Dr. Charles E.

Shaw Radio Station Favors Community Participation
RALEIGH - While
satisfying the radio needs
of the students, WSHA
radio at ShawUniversity is
attempting to fill voids in
community listening left by
the commercial stations.
WSHA a non profit, FM
station has designed a
format designed to educate
and entertain their clientele
by utilizing persons on the
campus and in the
community.
"1 think the university is
supposed to service the
community”, said Bob
Keiber, Shaw’s station
coordinator. "Somehow we
should make a difference.’’
Keiber, who speaks only
in terms of the future, is
hoping to make a difference
with the format for WSHA.
The station has received
two grants that will enable
it to increase its power from
10 watts to 12.6 watts
sometime in October, and
set up a carrier current
station on the AM dial to
service the campus. With
the new power, WSHA FM
located at 88.9 on the dial
could reach at least a 20
mile radius.
Under the new format,
Keiber plans to have a
program from 6 to 9 a.m. in
which residents of the
community will call in with
problems and questions.
Students will research the
problems, and the answers
will be broadcast the
following morning, Keiber
said other program topics
include black profiles,
dropouts and tenant hous
ing. WSHA FM will also
carry news oriented to the
black community and low
key rhythm and blues and
jazz music distributed
within the program for
mats,
"What we want to do is
provide cultural and edu
cational programs for the
black community that will
educate white listeners to
the black community”,
explained Keiber.
The carrier current
station will follow primarily
the same format that the
FM station currently has,
providing top 40 and soul
music and campus news.
The station will broadcast
to campus building on a
system of coaxial cables
connecting them to the
station.
Keiber places emphasis
on the station’s role as
quasiprofessional training
ground for students in radio
and television. The station
is part of Shaw’s Depart
ment of Performing Arts
and Humanities and is
more an extension of the
curriculum than an extra
curricular activity for stu
dents. Its budget comes
from the department.
Although Keiber and the
station’s general manager
are members of the faculty,
students handle the re
mainder of the operation.
Most of the radio staff
belong to Shaw’s work-
study program and receive
an hourly wage of $2.40.
, Volunteers comprise the
■ remainder of the approxi-
I -sfyi! ' -s- ' Mi
mately 30 staff members.
‘‘Students get totally
skeptical of producing
things that don’t go
anywhere’’, Keiber said.
"The station is an outlet for
their production.”
