Southeast Missouri State University - Sagamore Yearbook (Cape Girardeau, MO)

Experience gained from new station University students and community members helped eliminate the " us " and " them " conflict with Cable Access Channel 10 which signed on this spring. CAC 10, on the second floor of the Grauel Language Arts Building, was operated totally by students and community volunteers. According to university video co-ordinator Fred Wyman, the station offered a chance for experience in a real-life situation, since the business and running of the station was taken care of by a group of committees. These committees dealt with selecting programming, maintaining equipment and community outreach. Offering a wide variety of alternative programming, the station produced weekly programs such as the " Cable Connection, " which covered local news and events, " Community P\)rum, " a talk show called " It ' s My Life " and " The Best is Yet to Be, " a show about the elderly. CAC-TV also programmed cultural events such as lectures, concerts and entertainment different from that on commercial television. One such educational program was " Pvt. Wars, " a play by James McClure, which dealt with injured Vietnam veterans. Video Advocates worked closely with Channel 10. Membership was open to any student or community member who had an interest in video and wanted to learn the technical aspects. Officers were Dave Hubble, president; Kris Dunsford, vice president; Phil Rieman, treasurer; and Sandy Gambill, secretary. Fred Wyman was the adviser. MAKING I.AST-MINl ' TR adjustments.
