KLTC UNDER RECONSTRUCTION KLTC, the campus Christian radio station, went through a major overhaul for two entire semesters. Originally planning to broadcast in the early fall, the staff was forced not only to remodel the building, but to design and build new equipment and rebuild old equipment. The group was sponsored by Dr. David Sprague, with Dr. Bill Graff serving as Technical Advisor and Terry DeVries as General Manager. The staff worked long hours on the small radio station, and with the Lord's help, the future looks much brighter.

ba a. th je SOCIETY OF MANUFACTURING ENGINEERS 4 Deep in concentration, SME member Mark Stephens takes a few moments to put the finishing touches on a graphics plate. Highlighted by trips to Marathon LeTourneau and General Electric in Tyler, the activities of SME continued to provide members with an awareness of industry and professionalism of the manufacturing engineer. Mr. Gordon Huyser and Dr. Robert Ralston served as sponsors for the organization. Although there was a struggle to maintain steady growth in membership, the club was encouraged by an effort to charter the organization in order to draw the interest of upcoming students. Officers for the 1976-77 year included Carl Mattson serving as chairman, Steve Thompson as first Vice Chairman, Frank Blalock as Second Vice Chairman, and Jerry Lynch as Secretary-Treasurer.

Surrounded by equipment, ham radio operator Victor Paul jots down a recent contact. A little known organization, KSJEF, spent most of its time under cover as a ham radio station. Maintenance was a major problem for this small group of amateur radio buffs, as the roof of the building leaked extensively. Nevertheless, they found plenty of dry days to broadcast to other states and a few foreign countries. Officers for 1976-77 were: Doug Oplinger serving as President, Brent Hoff as Vice President, and Tim Visti as Secretary-Treasurer.
