After a long summer of hard work, WWRC was ready to begin a new era of broadcasting service to the Rider community. The initial sign-on from our new studios in the Student Center came at 10:30 a.m. on September 15, 1970. With this broadcast, we realized the dreams not only of our founders, but of every member that had ever worked for the station. The WWRC that began in September was far different from WWRC of last May. We had changed in many ways. The management was new, as was the music. WWRC had traditionally been a Top 40 station, but with the change in management, a new music policy evolved. We began programming all of the different kinds of music that went into the making of today's pro- gressive rock. This includes Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Folk, Soul and even Classical music. We expanded our programming hours and now broadcast 7 days per week, 18 hours per day. This is more than most college stations in the country. Our News Department has expanded and now presents feature shows built around current campus is- sues. A regular monthly program has been scheduled with Dr. Elliott and a similar program with the SGA pres- ident. Both programs are informational in nature and are aimed at furnishing the students with needed infor- mation on the issues at hand. The Sports Department presents two nightly sport shows, along with covering most home and away basketball game. The biggest programming event of the year has al- ways been the Marathon. Its purpose is to raise money for charity. ln past years our Marathons have been quite successful. For example, in 1966 WWRC raised S640 dollars for the American Cancer Society and raised S412 in 1967 for the United States Olympic Team. The Marathons of 1968 and 1969 raised over 35,000 for Mul- tiple Sclerosis, and this year's marathon Calso for MSJ is expected to be as huge a success. This year's Mara- thon features a car raffle, auctions, concerts and-as al- ways-good music. I The WWRC of the future will offer more complete news and sports coverage with the addition of a wire service to our facilities. The possibility of obtaining an FM license has become an ever increasing reality. Its addition will enable Trenton residents to be more well informed about Rider news and sporting events, as well as its many educational speeches and lectures. It's hard to believe what has taken place at WWRC since the old bedroom days of WRCR of 1960. We now have the best equipment available on the market today and facilities nicer than most commercial stations. But all of this means nothing unless you have a good staff to operate the station. This year the staff of WWRC did an outstanding job, providing the Rider community with 75

To Join ACS All One Needs ls A Parking Spot by Debra Opdycke - , l'm a commuter. Oh. And you suddenly get the feeling you belong to some out group. You don't live in the dorm, so you're out of the mainstream of campus life. And for the most part, you probably are-if you're a commuter at Rider College. If you're a commuter, you find yourself on campus only for classes and sometimes some evenings in the library. You find yourself getting up in the morning and driv- ing to class instead of rolling out of the rack and run- ning to your eight. And since you have to drive, it usu- ally means getting up early. Earlier if it snows-like at 6 a.m. for an eight. And once you get there, you have a little detail to take care of-like finding a parking place. And that is no mean accomplishment! Especially with the new lots. That means you now have double the space to ride around in looking for a parking space. And if you don't find one, you're back in the old lots anyway. But park- ing isn't too bad for an eight. lt's a real problem for a 10:20, though. Then, you leave your car for the day and hike to class. If you're in Memorial, you're lucky. If you're in Fine Arts, forget it. Because by the time you get there- you're late. Especially if you couldn't find a good space. A9.- 'W 4 up , V. 'IUZIU uf. 4554, . 1 u 1.
