Collegian Personality
BILL GORSKi
Staff Writer
Who among you intellectual
and dedicated readers, that
would never ever dream of
missing a publication of the most
prestegious newspaper on cam
pus, The Highacres Collegian,
know of Donna Baver? If you do
not know, read on.
Donna is an alumni of Penn
State, Hazleton and University
Park campuses. She graduated
in 1977 with a Bacculaurate
Degree in Journalism. Upon
graduating, like any con
structive, competent, degree
bearing person, she attempted
to find a job. Seeking em
ployment at the NBC studio in
New York City, she attempted
to evect Walter Cronkite from
his newschair, but without suc
cess. At least she got attention
and recognition for her absurb
attempt.
After an otherwise routine job
hunting experience she moved
her way to the illustrious
WACM underwent a format
change from an adualt com
porary program to a 1940 Gospel
Stint, she relinquished her
position and returned to an
unemployed status briefly. Her
brillant work at WACM paved
the way for her to obtain her
present job at the Hazleton
Broadcasting Company; home of
WAZL (AM) and WVCD (FM)
the position she now holds as ac
count executive allows her to ap
ply her creative ability to ad
vertising. Many of the com
mercials that you hear on WAZL
and WVDC are produced and
presented by Donna. Beginning
in January she will be co
producing and broadcasting the
news for the Highacres Broad
casting Company, while main
taining her work in advertising
to a lesser degree.

Among the media in town she
is considered an addity. She, as
a member of a competing media
firm, is the exclusive priviledge
cf having access the Hazleton
Standard Speaker equitment.
Because she has this privilege
she is sought after by many area
organizations and can provide
double coverage of events
through newspaper and radio
services.
Donna is also Public Relation
person for Highacres campus
publicing events sponsored by
Highacres student and faculty,
and Hazleton correspondent for
the Harrisburg Patroit
newspaper. Donna really en-
joys her job meeting new people
and becoming involved in new
activities through journalism is a
unique and fulfilling experience.
Journalism also provides an
inexhaustable source of
knowledge since new ideas are
being expressed continually
through the media.
Although Donna gets satisfac
tion from her work and likes the
people she works with in
Hazleton, in order to take full
advantage of her tremendous
potential, she will have to find a
more nationally recognized
media service.
It is not any secret that she
intends to leave Hazleton, infact,
her friend and co-workers are
encouraging her to get out of
here and'follow her ambitions.
Once Donna (get up and going)
we would like to wish her good
luck.
Give the world a love song,
and maybe it’ll sing for you
Give the world a joke,
and maybe get a laugh or two
Come on and share your joy,
and peace and happiness too
Give the world all you got
it’s the least you can do. DL
