" leaching " Racing Saln ,,.." - .. The By MAYNARD A newspaper doesn't publish itself. Known as "the New York Times of the college press," The Michigan Daily requires the tal- ents of six staffs to put out each l issue, so we're constantly on thel lookout for new people.: You maybe? Previous experi- ence is usually unnecessary. We'll train you,' whether you're inter- ested in news reporting, editorial writing, arts, business, or sports. The photography staff, how- ever, requires trainees to show a considerable degree of exper- tise in shooting and darkroom technique. Joining The Daily staff guar- antees you of at least a slightly different college experience. Those who choose the news staff Daily will develop an inside knowledge of the University and tity that few students ever do. Editorial writers, too, pride themselves on "being up" on hap- penings, proving everyday the paper's slogan: "Eighty-two years of editorial freedom." , T H E ENTERTAINMENT staff does more than just review Come fly with. us through Daily experience that journalism is the career for you. Many of our staff go on to jobs on big city newspapers such as the Detroit Free Press. While you're here, you'll get the best training a pre-profession- paper can offer, In addition to teaching journalism writing (It's quite a change from writing En- glish papers.), we'll explain "Joining The Daily staff guarantees you of at least a slightly different college experi- ence. Those who choose the news staff will develop an inside knowledge of the University and city that few students ever do." 4'"Y ' .NIr> .iry/ r",yw. sv: r. yr "'.}Y e staff receives the same pittance, though s les people get a 10 per cent comnission on the ads they sell. Like professional papers, The Daily is self-supporting with about a third of its income from subscriptions and two thirds from advertising. Business staffers also handle circulation matters, dealing with angry customers who haven't re- ceived their Daily. And with a circulation of 9,000 (and estimat- ed readership of 30,000) there are bound to be problems. But business staff keeps reg- ular business hours, unlike the writing staffs which people the building at 420 Maynard from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Completing The Daily's staff is the shop, the professional printers who put up with us- sometimes with miraculous un- derstanding. SO THE CHOICE is yours. You can go through four years at the University, attending classes and making your own little circle of friends. Or you can expand that, witness a bit of excitement, and learn a lot about human communication . . . at The Daily.

The entertainment page seeks people not only with knowledge in a particular area of the arts, but also those who merely have a writing talent. Who knows? You may find Radio By DIANE LEVICK supplement co-editor "Revamp" and "overhaul" are the passwords at the student-run campus radio stations where the physical plant as well as pro- gramming has been reworked. F o r m e r l y WCBN-AM, the brand new WRCN-AM (650) will broadcast 1960's oldies ex- clusively this fall. A. carrier cur- rent station, WRCN broadcasts through special wires that go only to dorms, so only dorm resi- dents will be able to receive it. Last year the AM station con- centrated on "contemporary sounds" - album cuts as well as Top-40 fare- but, says Publicity Director and Business Manager Pam Cukor, "We got our best response to'programming from our oldies. Oldies programming like we plan has been tried other places and worked very well." headline writing, proofreading, editing, and layout. And what's the material re- ward? After about four months of work, you'll get about $35, monthly. A paltry sum, indeed, but it's thought of an an incen- tive, not an exchange for services rendered. OUR AGGRESSIVE business static Cukor explains that the new format is more competitive since no other Ann Arbor or Detroit station offers the same thing. And competition is important be-' cause advertising revenue from the AM station supplements the University funding of $15,000 a year to the WCBN complex. IN ADDITION, to its regular oldies programming, WRCN will air 12-hour weekend specials on the history of various groups such as the Beatles, Stones, and the Beach Boys. s tuden ts Doil~y Phfoto by DA/VIDJ MARGOLICK Meanwhile, WCBN - FM (89.5) will continue its musical pro- gramming in much the same vein as last year, with a mixture of progressive rock, oldies, jazz, Broadway, blues, and classical. The FM station, licensed "class D educational" by the FCC (no ads), works on a block programming format. Certain hours of each day are marked off for specific types of music. Along with expanded news broadcasts, the WCBN complex, located in the basement of the Student Activities Bldg., plans to run more public affairs pro- gramming such as ."mini-docu- mentaries." TO HELP WITH WCBN's growth, new personnel are al- ways needed. "We're a student organization where students can get professional training," says Cukor. Many who have worked at WCBN obtain jobs at ' other" stations. Students are needed to work in WCBN's business, sales, pub- licity, news, and engineering de- partments. "We need salesmen!" Cukor emphasizes. The station is supported. by income from ads on AM and the yearly $15,000 grant from the University, but that grant may end with this coming year. If, however, you aspire to be a big-time radio disc jockey, WCBN can still help you. Stu- dents go through a training pro- gram and then submit audition tapes to be judged by the sta- tion's chief announcers. 'Upon receiying the go-ahead, new "jocks" are given air. time. News trainees go through a similar process. THE OFFICE SUPPLY HOUSE, 613 E.
