6 Page 2-Tuesday, February 5, 1980-The Michigan Daily RADIO STATION DROPS FREE-FORM STYLE: a WIQB a By STEVE HOOK Local radio station WIQB-FM, previously a free-form, album-oriented rock station, has changed its musical format to the familiar automated soft' rock style. "I've spent some time analyzing the market," said Ernie Wynn, co-owner and general manager of WIQB and its WNRS AM counterpart. "I concluded that we weren't appealing to a very broad group. It is not just college students we are interested in," he said yesterday. Wynn and fellow owner John Casciani purchased the stations last Dec. 1 for $1.2 million. The format dopts sol change, according to Wynn, was made both as a financial investment and as a service to area listeners. "Appealing to this specific group was not what I was licensed by the FCC to Rio," said Wynn. "WE NOW have a consistency of sound," Wynn continued, "some people liked the old programming because it was inconsistent, because they could hear music they have never heard before. "But there were frankly not enough of these people." Wynn explained that "we're not blowing off students, I expect a tremendously positive reaction. We'll appeal to five times more listeners." Ft rock format He said that the decision to shift format was made to satisfy both listeners and advertisers. "Local merchants wanted a station with ahbroader range of. listeners, and I think they deserved that." THE SWITCH caused a mild Uproar among many students who listened frequently to WIQB before this weekend. "It's a shame," said LSA sophomore Pam Baron yesterday. "Half the radio stations play that kind of niusic, and here was one that was original and unique. It was good music." Among those expected to benefit from WIQB's format change is WCBN, the University's non-commercial station that features less widely known music such as WIQB did before Friday midnight. WCBN's Program Director Judy Schwartz, however, said that she is not particularly happy about WIQB's change. "Our listenership might increase," she said yesterday, "but it is not a good thing that happened. Numbers of listeners is not most important, we'd rather have two good stations than one. It's real upsetting to me." She added that if WCBN was a non-student com- mercial station, "I'd be very happy about it."

The Saudis have been reluctant to get involved in ,anyEast-West confrontation, and are expected to press instead for American military aid to bolster their own forces. Brzezinski and Saudi officials are believed to have discussed the "Carter Doctrine," a commitment to defense of Persian Gulf oil reserves. The Sultanate of Oman, which controls the southern part of the narrow Strait of Hormuz, gateway for mostgof the industrialized world's oil, is the only Mid- dle East nation to support an outside military presence in the Gulf region.

However, the influential Middle East Economic Survey, quoting an unidentified Saudi Arabian source, said the Saudis might cut prices or sharply raise oil output in a bid to arrest the latest OPEC price spiral. The increases of up to $4.21 a barrel raise to 10 the number of cartel countries to boost crude oil prices since late January. The latest increases are expected to add between 2.5 cents and three cents to the U.S. price of a gallon of heating oil or gasoline. Nigeria, Algeria, and Indonesia, the three countries that announced price increases yester- day, provide about 11 per cent of U.S. oil needs. 1979 GM profits down DETROIT - General Motors 1979 profits dropped 17.6 per cent from $3.5 billion the previous year, the corporation reported yesterday. However, the 1979 profits of $2.9 billion still rates the fourth best in the automaker's history. Dollar sales reached a record $66.3 billion. GM officials attributed the decline in profits to lower sales volumes and material and energy cost increases which could not be fully recovered. 4 4 Languages Literature Psychology Conservation American Tudies Geography Accounting Education CCOnomis History Writing moth Each course has an assigned instructor, who consults with you through the mail or over the telephone.

Judge Harold Staffeldt's decision was seen as a major victory for the prosecution, representing the families of three teenagers killed in a 1973 Pinto crash in Indiana. According to the ruling, the prosecution will be allowed to introduce an exchange of letters and documents between Ford and federal" officials regarding a report by the National Highway Transportation Safety Ad- ministration (NHTSA). The report, dated three months before the case in question, had made a preliminary determination that the Pinto was unsafe and should be recalled. Ali continues boycott tour NAIROBI, Kenya - Muhammed Ali continued yesterday on his U.S.- sponsored tour to promote a boycott of the Moscow Olympics. But he criticized Jimmy Carter and the Kremlin yesterday, saying his real aim now is to head off war between "the baddest two white men in history" - America and the Soviet Union. Ali's mission to drum up black African support for an Olympic boycott got off to a rocky start Sunday when reporters in Tanzania pummeled him with questions about U.S. dealings with white minority-ruled South Africa. Ali accused Carter of putting him "on the spot" and sending him around the world to "take the whipping" over U.S. policies. He said if he had known about the U.S.-South African relationship he probably would not have accep- ted Carter's African assignment. Ali said black Africans resented being asked to stay away from Moscow when the United States refused to join an African boycott of the 1976 Olym- pics in Montreal to protest Western sports links with South Africa. 4 .4 Think for a minute about what microelectronics technology has already achieved.
