    Name - Delores Simmons
Term -10
Major - Acctg.
Response - LOUSY.
The Winter selection is lousy
because the course offering is
very limited. I noticed that
the better courses are offered
in the Spring Term, and the
more lousy are offered in the
Winter.
Name - Renwick Jackson
Term - 9
Major - Accounting
Response - I think the course
selections should be broader
during each term. The major
problem with course selec
tion is that some required and
some elective courses are only
offered one or two terms.

Term - 7
Major - EDET
Response - Concerning my
requirements the course se
lections for the Winter Term
require that I adapt to a five
day schedule, instead of four
days. There seems to be no
practical alternative to this
particular problem.
Name - Lori DeDonatis
Term -12
Major - SoSc
Response - As a social science
major I am very surprised to
see that the courses which are
being offered in my curricu
lum are so limited. I'm just
glad I won't be here next term
to go through course selection
and schedulin !.

Opinions

What do you think about
the winter term course
offerings? Do you find
the selection satisfac
tory in terms of what
you want or need?
Name - Gail Miller
Term -10
Major - So. Sc.
Response - As a Psycho-So
cial major, I was very dis
mayed with the Winter course
selections. I feel as though my
option is being deleted from
the Social Science program
slowly but surely, but, some
one forgot to notify me of
such. I also find it interesting
that many critical professors
in my area have left the
program or are in the process
of doing so.

Term - Graduate
Major - El. Ed.
Response - The course selec
tion is rather limited for me
because I work full time in the
day and can only take courses
at night. I compensate for this
disadvantage, however, since
I take the majority of my
courses during the summer
when I'm not teaching.
Name - Erick McKay
Term -10
Major - EDET
Response - Courses were
adequate this term. However,
last semester I was displeased
because only one course,
Thermodynamics, was offered
when more were needed to
accommodate the surplus
amount of students.
plant. "We want to make our
existence felt by the campus
community," said Ron Fried,
program director. "We want
to be more responsive to the
students' needs, playing re
quests and album features,
broadcasting home basketball
games, and making public
service announcements," he
said.
Advisor Reed pointed out
a well-operated radio station
could do much to close the
communications gap especial
ly emergencies such as Cap
itol experienced during the
TMI situation.
Ultimately, WNDR would
like to broadcast on the FM
frequency, Naturally, there is
a fund consideration. "It will
require roughly $15,000 to
equip WNDR with state-of
the-art equipment which Cap
itol needs to have a first class
radio station," said Reed. "We
are hopeful," he said, "of
obtaining a cultural grant to
support this. We are also
working on an Office of Gifts
and Endowments grant from
University Park."
Reed said a well-equipped
radio station would be a really
fine learning tool too. "A

Term -10
Major - So. Sc.
Response - I felt the Winter
course selection was very
poor. My option is Psychology
and more than half of these
courses I've already had.
Many of the good professors
are not teaching a class. Those
courses that were left I had to
settle for.l am very disap

Response - The extremely
limited course offerings are
very reflective of Capitol

broadcasting must presently
go off campus for practical
experience," he said.
Involvement is an espe
cially good experience for
Multi-Media majors, but is
also a useful experience for
any student.
Bill Bertolet, head disc
jockey, said, "There is an
added advantage to member
ship in our station. At large
institutions, new members
are given little opportunity
for top jobs. We are small and
in the embryonic stages of our
development. Anyone becom
ing involved in WNDR will be
encouraged to make worth
while contributions, in what
ever area they can, to the
success of the station."
A short training program
is available for anyone who
would like to be a D.J. Each
radio broadcaster has auton
omy within the limits of good
taste.
At present, WNDR
broadcasts to Vendorville,
Meade Heights (1520 AM) and
the dormitories (640 AM).
Any student interested in
membership or having a re
quest is invited to stop in
Room W-106 (near the Gallery
Lounge) or call the station at
944-9832.
