KECC expands feature programing KECC, the campus radio station, started the school year with the slogan 61 is number one for 1971, and finished it with the slogan 61 is all new for 1972. During the fall semester KECC re- modeled its facilities by installing wall to wall carpeting, lowering ceilings, cov- ering the walls with wood paneling, and purchasing new equipment and other decorative items to enhance the appear- ance of KECC. in the spring semester KECC con- centrated its efforts on new program- ming ideas. Adding to the old favorites such as Revivaltime, KECC brought several series of editorials, live basket- ball games, student government, Cam- pus Radio Voice, and many other fea- tures and exclusive communiques. Two of the big innovations were the new all day broadcast, which started at 9 am. and went until 1 a.m., and the addi- tion of Scott Hall, the Student Union, and the cafeteria to its listening audiences. All of the improvements in the decor and the programming were credited to the station manager, Roland Cilke, junior; program director, Dan Way, junior; sta- tion engineer, Jim King, senior; secretary, Ruth Baldwin, junior; and KECC Queen, Gloria Jenkins, senior. Thirty-two other persons constituted DJs, librarians, fea- ture and continuity writers, re mote broad- casters, and those in production and sales.

She also gave stu- dents a chance to express themselves on a current topic through the Round- table column. Sports editors Steve Dubinett, sopho- more, and Mike Nelson, junior, reported both the intercollegiate and intramural sports. Junior Tom Cash, business manager, sold advertisements, kept up with the money, and distributed the papers. Rex Jackson, assistant professor of journalism, provided the stability need- ed to keep the groupworking.
