Bob Lamartina zooms in on the sub- ject while floor director Logan Banks supervises. The new equipment, which brought the value of the studio to S100,000, made it possible for Nicholls to broad- cast live or through videotape over the cable, playing to 6,000 cable subscribers and a potential audience of 20,000. The workshops were airing more diversified shows by the spring. A news show, Nicholls News and Views, was still aired, but in addition local talents were showcased in Studio One, local policymakers were interviewed on lntrospect, and Nicholls sports were highlighted on The Colonel Speaks. Students were responsible for all aspects of the show including writing, directing, camera work. lighting and all on-camera and off-camera work. While some students were exercising their creative abilities through one medium, others were doing the same through a sister medium - KVFG-FM, the campus radio. Advertised as a progressive music station, KVFC was managed in the fall of 1976 by Benny Stiegler and in the spring of 1977 by Sue Himel. Students enrolled in the Speech 220, For our information COl1t. 221 and 222 radio workshop classes worked as disc jockeys in the 10-watt Peltier station. Bob Blazier served as advisor to the station until Ron Simeral took over the position in the summer of 1977. Blazier applied to the Federal Communication Commission for permission to raise the station's power from 10 to 250 watts. This move was supported by commu- nication arts students in a series of informal meetings called to review and suggest changes for the communication arts curriculum, with specific improve- ments for KVFC and the television studio. Besides getting an advisor and a stu- dent self-assessment to raise KVFC's power and antenna height, the meetings also helped to establish a television per- sonnel staff much like that of the radio station. Other directors for the fall were Gary Landry, program director: Perry Pitre, music director, Sue Himel, news direc- tor: and Ray Peters, sports director. For the spring semester, the staff with Himel was Gary Landry, program Keeping one eye on the monitor, Van Boudreaux frames the action with his camera in television production class. '
