QUAKE* CAMP"* /ninmaiVYVIMiimkpr?! ^— ^/ Anril 77 10«0 Volume LXXV, Number 21 April 27, 1989 Back On the Air, KWTR Gets Two Advisers For Next Year Dorothv W. Nelson Judge Dorothy Nelson Commencement By Danielle Diego The Honorable Dorothy W. Nelson, United States Circuit Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, has been announced as the speaker at Whittier's 86th graduation commencement Sunday, May 21. Nelson has been a member of the Judicial Council, Ninth Circuit, since 1985, was chair of the American Bar Association Committee on Education in Judicial Administration from 1972-79, and chair of the Association of American Law Schools' Committee on Education in Judicial Administration from 1976-1980. She is also well respected internationally. She sat with the Supreme Court of Federated States of Micronesia in 1984, the Supreme Court of Israel in 1985, and the High Courts of Bombay and Calcutta, India in 1986. Legal Topic At the commencement. Nelson will speak on 'Contemporary Legal Issues' President Mills said the school has been trying for years to get a woman who could especially discuss relevant legal topics. One-third of the graduating class are law students. Dean of faculty Bob Marks, who is also the chairman of the Commencement Committee, said that it is very difficult to get a graduation speaker because the ■ graduation date is "set in stone." Marks said, "When we are talking about geting a certain caliber of people to speak, they are usually very busy people. It comes down to who's available May 21." Nelson was first suggested by a faculty member on the Commencement Committee who had heard her speak before. "When the idea was brought up to the committee, we looked into it and found that other members of the faculty had heard her, and thought that it was an exceptional idea," Marks said. Student Involvement The Commencement Committee includes three seniors: Kris Muir, Alex Mangosing and Derek Price. Muir said the purpose of having students on the committee is to get their mput. "We are here to represent the class as to who we would want to hear," she said. When asked exactly what the committed looks for in a speaker, Marks said that they look at several a iteria, "but the number one qualification is that the person have public presence - the ability tt effectively convey a message to a large group." He said the committee works by categon considering all credential!, cessary to even have a Please e GRAD page 3. By Chris Perkins Whittier college radio station KWTR is back on the air and will soon be fortified by the addition of two staff advisers. Bedford Mcintosh, director of Development, and Kevin Doody, director of Corporate and Foundation , Relations, have volunteered their help in reorganizing and expanding the station. According to sophomore Heather Robinson, station manager, repairs have been made on the broken broadcasting equipment which had shut down the station for three weeks. She said that barring any unforeseen occurrences, the station will remain on the air for the rest of the year. Robinson welcomed the addition of the two advisers, saying, "I'm all for the idea...There's no doubt there needs to be some type of adviser - every other |major| organization on campus has an adviser, so it doesn't seem out of the ordinary.'' "I really do look forward to working with them." A Couple of Guys Mcintosh and Doody have no formal radio station experience, but said that they believe their enthusiasm and love of music, coupled with their professional backgrounds in business and solicitation, will make them effective advisers. However, said Mcintosh, "We don't see ourselves as the salvation |for KWTR|...we're just a couple of Price Sings A tthem See Page 5. guys who want to help out." The two originally became involved with the station after reading of KWTR's problems with equipment failure and controversial broadcasts in the April 13 Quaker Campus. Mcintosh contacted Barbara Green about donating equipment to the station, and she suggested that he consider a position as an adviser. After Mcintosh discussed the possibility with Doody, both men went before the Board of Governors April 24 to announce their willingness to act as advisers for the station and their plans for KWTR. Mcintosh said they have few specific plans for KWTR in mind, as they are not yet well acquainted with the station, and have not yet met with Heather Robinson. One improvement which they believe is necessary to the development of the station, however, is the addition of transmitters in other areas of campus to extend KWTR's broadcasting range. "It all starts with getting the signal out," Mcintosh said. The station currently has transmitters in Stauffer, Ball, Johnson, Wardman and Wanberg residence halls as well as in the Campus Inn. The addition of extra transmitters would be expensive. The seven original transmitters costed $6,395. The total amounted budgeted for KWTR by BOG this year was $2,500. Paul McManus, ASWC president-elect, said he will support the purchase of additional transmitters. "The first step to restructuring and strengthening KWTR is making sure it's able to | broadcast] across campus very clearly. To do that, money is going to have to be allocated to buying new transmitters and on improving the old ones if necessary." Another goal Mcintosh and Doody have for the station is improved visibility. "We need to have a higher profile on campus," Mcintosh said. They said that some of the means of achieving this which they have discussed are contests, promotions, album give-aways and advertising. Professionalism and consistency in broadcasting are also priorities of the new advisers. "We can make |KWTR| almost a professional radio station," Mcintosh stated. Doody said he considers the goal of a college radio station "to play what the |student| audience wants to hear, but also to broaden their horizons." "We'll look for a match between what students |deejays| want to play, and what students want to hear." Mcintosh and Doody stressed the need for student manage- Please see KWTR page 3. Student Phonathon Nets Big Dough, Over $115,000 Raised lb This Point By Stephanie Wiggins "Usually if alumni have had a good experience they are likely to give," said Alex Mangosing, student manager for the Spring '89 Phonathon which has raised more than $115,000 over a span of 17 days from alumni all over the United States. According to Cheryl Seagren, director of Annual Giving, student tuition fees cover only 70 percent of the cost of our education. The other 30 percent is raised by the school. The Phonathon solicits unrestricted funds (funds which are not allocated for a specific project or department) which generally end up helping to fund financial aid, faculty salaries, and maintenance of housing. Great Success Seagren said ofthe Phonathon, "It's a great success!" The original goal was $100,000 but was surpassed and a new goal was set for $121,000 which Seagren expects to reach by the conclusion of the fundraising event tonight. Mangosing attributes the great response to a letter from the chairman of the Board of Trustees, Raymond Dezember, to alumni that explained the situation of the $262,000 deficit. According to Seagren, "We have great callers. The alumni enjov hearing from them." Last year the phonathon, which lasted two weeks, stressed the celebration of Whittier College's centennial and raised approximately $46,000. According to Seagren, "Last year the percentage of 'yes' to 'no' responses was 30 percent. This year it is around 55 percent." Mangosing said, "The best callers are seniors Mario Garcelita and Rebecca Rasko, juniors Beverly Givens, Alicia Staples, and Lisa Watson and sophomore Danny Carvalho. In one night, the callers raised over $20,000 in three hours. According to Mangosing the average pledge is $ 12 5: however, pledges range from $20 to $1000. Mangosing and senior Linda Tull, student managers of the phonathon, supervise 30 callers, which were selected from a pool of applicants of approximately 100, in the faculty center for three hours a night. According to Seagren, the response this year is not unusual for a college of Whittier's standing, and is comparable to other schools such as Claremont.
