BRUINS ON THE AIR Television cameras were a new addition to home basketball games after Homecoming this year. On the suggestion of KFOX Radio manage- ment, Mel Schroeder, GFC ' s TV Center Director, developed a plan to video tape the Homecoming game and subsequent games to be aired over the Liberty Cable Television in Newberg at a later date. Professor Schroeder believes GFC to be one of the first small colleges in Oregon to implement such a program. 11

In the beginning, 1971 or 1972, a handful of students began to think about having a radio station. They petitioned at many radio stations to have equipment donated because funds were low. After some time the dream came true and KGFC officially became part of the ASCGFC for the 74-75 school year. But over the years, equipment has worn and malfunctioned. Not having quality sound, the staffs were not quite interested in professionalism. This year, we at the new 90 FM KFOX, began with one basic thought in mind; To not be on the air unless we sound professional. It has taken more than two terms to reach this goal. We have improved through moving our studio, obtaining and repairing equipment to give quality sound, and organizing a format plus instructing personnel for better professionalism. In the future we plan to have a window on the south side of Studio A so that the students can observe broadcasting live.

HOMECOMING ' 83 Once again the excitement of Homecoming was in the air as students and alumni involved themselves in the weekend ac- tivities. Our theme for Homecoming ' 83 was Today ' s College Laced with Nostalgia - although, it could of been Splattered with a Water Ballon or Caked with Pie as a few students will remember it this year. In the Homecoming Game, our Bruins triumphed over the W estern Baptist College Warriors once again making the over- all series record of 21 wins to the Warriors 7 wins. Senior Denise Beed of Sherwood, Oregon was crowned Homecoming ' 83 Queen at the coronation ceremony. Senior Mike Henckel of Billings, Montana was named her King. Her Court consisted of juniors Nora Thompson and Dennis Little- field, sophomores Diane Hansen and Grant Gerke, freshmen Roni Webb and Rich Miller, and basketball representatives Melinda Day and Dave Mauermann.
