CCTV - The Closed Circuit Television studio has been taking its first steps out of the closed stages by airing programs over the local cable television channel. In the studio, such personalities as State Rep. Billy Tauzin and Sen. I. Bennett Iohnston were interviewed, while the camera crews went outdoors to cover the ground breaking for the family housing unit, where Charles Roemer, executive assistant to Gov. Edwin Edwards, was the guest speaker. Blazier also took his television workshop Classes to view the facilities at WVVL-TV in New Orleans during the fall semester. While each one of the media outlets on campus has different goals and responsibili- ties, they have in common covering the campus in the most comprehensive manner. In addition to teaching radio and television courses, Bob Blazier also advises KVFC-FM, the campus radio station. La Pirogue advisor Lesley Marcello ignores for a while the editor-photographer and continues a conversation with photographers from Rappo- port Studios. li. .E ,.,,a',-'.g. 1 A -L . - ' H5 . iw' .

Communications arts senior Richard Smith han- dles the play-by-play for the Colonels against Spring Hill College. by Kevin Fambrough and Bonnie LeBlanc Despite the back-to nature cries heard round the country, these days, we are fairly dependent on our mecha- nized helpmates. The electricity that feeds our homes and powers our familiar machinery also feeds many of our news sources, bringing the world that much nearer. Television, radio and newspapers are all dependent on their electrical umbili- cal cords. We are comfortable with machinery and electricity and on especially famil- iar terms with the ubiquitous radio and television. Cities keep alive a stream of news to the community through radio, televi- sion and computer-produced newspa- pers. Nicholls. a community unto itself, keeps its citizens informed through its media trio - the Talbot television studio, KVFC-FM and Student Publica- tions. This was a year of rapid growth in the campus media, especially for the television studio under the direction of Bob Blazier. For our information The fall semester of 1976 marked the first live television newscast originating from the Talbot Hall studio on cable channel 5. The show was put together through the efforts of the Speech 365 and 366 television workshop classes, which worked together on technical details of the 15-minute newscast. Channel 5 had played viedotaped productions of the workshops before. but these were either promotional material or univer- sity information. The newscasts covered campus events. Anchoring the show were Sue I-limel and Chris Arceneaux, both sen- ior communication arts majors. The spring of 1977 saw new strides in campus television. local cable circuit television in the Talbot studio. The equipment for this, including a color camera and editing machine was installed through a grant acquired by Dr. Merlin Ohmer, dean of the college of sciences, for a series of metric educa- tion programs to be filmed by the work- shop classes.
