DJs, Professors, Government, And Music Wilfiam J. Schang, associate professor of English, was presented the Senior Class Award at the Ripon College Awards Convocation. The award. according to this year's presenter and senior class president Jim Garden, is annually given to the faculty member that year's graduating class feels had the most influence on its stay at Ripon College. Each senior is allowed one vote. Gar- den said. Schang also was the top vote- getter in 1982. The award is a true honor, Schang said, because of the recognition from the students and the quality of previous winners. Most significant to this award is the strict criterion by which students abide while voting, said Dean of Faculty Doug- las Northrup. They simply feel that he is an outstanding teacher. Schang joined Ripon's faculty in 1969. after completing a teaching fellowship at the University of Michigan. He earned his bachelor's, master's and doctorate de- grees at Michigan. He currently is on a one-semester sabbatical. (Story courtesy of College Relations) WRPN Staff Prepares To Boost Wattage WRPN DJs and Executive Staff, back row. left to right. Kevin Corbett.

Schang Honored By Senior Class WRPN-FM provides the campus and close surround- ing Ripon community with public service announce- ments. news, and music. DJs are selected at the be- ginning of each semester and placed into a program according to their choice of show format. WRPN pro- vides a variety of music, from Christian to rock, show tunes to classical. The primary objective of the station is to provide the campus with an alternative to the stations in the area, as well as to bring to its listening audience news and other information about the Ripon campus. The station is found at 90.1 on the FM band with a total wattage of 10. During the 1984-85 aca- demic year, plans were put into the works for the station to increase its wattage to 250. Along with that are plans to move the frequency to a different num- ber on the FM band. The increase in wattage should take place in the Fall of 1985. WRPN broadcasts from 7a.m. to 12a.m. on week- days, and 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. on weekends. Action 90 news airs each day at 6 p.m. News is selected from various campus events and from the Associated Press news wire located in the news room. DJs take news from that wire when the time comes every hour to do the news on their show. The Executive Staff for 1984-85 included Paul Witt, station manager. Chris LeLand, Jeannie Dancy. Susan Woods, and Rhea Bell.

Ono Morseio The cold and rainy weather of the Autumn, nor the chilly winds on the hill which leads to the gym in the Winter could not deter the biggest fans Ripon may have — the cheerleaders — from rooting for the Red men during football and basketball games. The squad undergoes a change during the Fall and Winter seasons when some cheerleaders join the staff and some leave. But no matter who is a member of the squad, everyone is enthusiastic, in good times and in not so good times. From top: Kay Roth. Kirsten Knott. Jufce Sikkink, Julie Lueder.

The Student Senate exercises the legislative and ex- ecutive functions of government on campus. It meets once a week, usually in the glass room in the commons, and carries out the business at hand, relying on informa- tion from student representatives from each living group on campus. Highlights of the year included the addition of a central mailroom. the successful completion of budget hearings, and the fun and excitement of such events as Home- coming. Winter Weekend, and Springfest. A central issue in the meetings of the student senate during the 1984-85 academic year was the increase in the drinking age from 18 to 19. The state of Wisconsin plans to increase that age to 21 in order to get needed funds for its highways in the next few years. The Senate had to adopt a new drinking policy to be approved by the Executive Committee of the Hill. (For more informa- tion on the policy, please turn to page 28). During the Summer of 1984, a central mail room was constructed in the tower level of the Harwood Memorial Union. Every student picks up his mail here, and can also find information from various clubs and watch TV on the large screen TV. Adjacent to the mailroom the Union office was built.
