ACOUSTIC DISCS A Tour Page 9 Dare to take this courageous tour through the wonderland of new and used records buried behind Ann Arbor store fronts. More or less off the wall writer Larry Dean is your guide. FILMS_ Movie mania Page 10 Will Return of the Jedi still be playing at this magazine's publication date? Will it still be running in the year 2000? If the campus film scene stays the same the .answer to both is yes. The point: both new and old films are abundant in Ann Arbor. EATS AND DRINKS_ BOOKS Bookworms Although nobody really believes it during a term, books can be fun, and in Ann Arbor so can the stores that sell them.

Oppor- tunities in class productions aobund. Free sounds* By Bill Spindle R EMEMBER WAKING up in the morning to the wonderful voices of Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans. It still happens occasionally to listeners of student radio station WC- BN. Of course, those same listeners are also occasionally awakened by Bow Wow Wow, Billie Holiday, Black Uhuru, and Beethoven. Radio free Ann Arbor - CBN epitomizes it. Free, free, free-all the way to the outer limits. "The format is really no format at all," says Alan Winokur, a former chief announcer for the station. "Our objec- tive is not to play what's new, it's to play what other stations don't play." Playing music from all points of the spectrum, CBN deejays seem to have no fear. With its University funds and several high-profit telethons, WCBN is one of very few free-form stations to survive the wave of commercialism that has swept over local airwaves. "Since we are not commercial, we don't have to cater to' other people's tastes," says Winokur. "It allows a freedom that doesn't exist at other stations. We experiment, and sometimes experiments don't work, but the free form suits us. There's very few free-form sations," he says. CBN's programming includes a heavy dose of both new and old jazz, blues, reggae, rockabilly, classical, new wave, punk, ska, and any genres that fall between the cracks. Several of those styles are featured in hour-long shows that run on Saturdays. Deliberately esoteric, the station's progamming has attracted a small but loyal campus following, and a healthy amount of criticism from students who feel the music is inaccessable. To supplement music, CBN also runs weekly news and feature talk shows. The programs, which usually run bet- ween a half hour and an hour, cover issues like gay and lesbian rights, legal advice, nutrition, financial aid, and campus news. Running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the station has about 60 deejay shifts. By splitting shifts, more than 100 people can get on the air per week, says Winokur. In addition, the station em- ploys many students to work behind the scenes as reporters, public affairs promoters, engineers, and writers. Just down the hall from the CBN studio in the Student Activities Building is its sister station, WJJX, 650 on your AM dial. JJX runs a much stricter, top-40 for- mat than CBN, but focuses more on training students for broadcast careers, says program director Dave Mann. "(The two stations) are set up for very different purposes," says Mann. "We both try to provide good music, but CBN is set up as alternative radio. WJJX is set up more specifically to train people for radio careers, simply because there are more top-40 statons around." JJX's tight play list, sometimes dic- tating seven out of eight songs played, allows the station to train many people who don't know a lot about music, but still want to be on the air, says Mann. "That's what we are here for, to give people training. All they have to be is willing to work and responsible," says Mann. WJJX's signal is not sent over the public airwaves, but can be picked up in most of the Univesity dorms. The signal is broadcast through the electrical wiring in the hill area and is sent by telephone lines out to Bursley. The third campus radio station, WUOM, is professionally staffed and plays primarily classical music, with a smattering of jazz on Saturdays. With its elaborate studio facilities (when compared to other student stations), WUOM puts out the strongest and cleanest signal of the three stations. The station is not as open to students like JJX and CBN, but it does offer some professional intern programs for credit.0 OW Top 40, the classics, jazz or all three tossed into the same pot - that's what campus radio offers the adventurous listener.0 "" A Weekend This is a special edition of the Weekend Magazine Daily at 420 Maynard, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 48109. vol 1 Issue 1 to introduce newcomers to the arts and entertain- It appears in the Friday edition of the Daily every ment available on campus.
