ARTS The Michigan Daily Thursday, February 5, 1987 Page 5 WCB hosts fundraiser By John Carney Local color will be at its brightest this weekend as the :..Campus Broadcast Network's WCBN-FM holds their 8th annual fundraiser. Today through Sunday, -the station will host 88.3 hours of special programming and encourage ; listener contributions. The event culminates Sunday night at 8 p.m. with the annual bash at the Michigan Union Ballroom. The purpose is, quite simply, to combine fundraising with celebration. The fundraiser is counted on for bringing in over half of the FM station's yearly funds. "We're alotted $14,000 from the University and we're hoping to gross $15,000 from the fundraiser," says John Hartmann, the event's ;oordinator, "It pretty much keeps us going. We're asking the public for support and rewarding them with a better station." The money raised from the fund - raiser is gathered from pledges, T- shirt sales, and admission to the bash. Pledges are met with premiums donated by local businesses (gifts in exchange for pledges of a particular amount), and can be made by calling the station 'at 763-3501 any time between now and Sunday. The station has a greater likelihood of achieving their fiscal goal this year, due to a larger audience. The FCC recently approved an increase in their power which enables the station to reach a much more diverse group of listeners, as it gives WCBN-FM a stronger and more far-reaching broadcast signal.V The fundraiser broadcast begins today a 8:40 A.M., and lasts 88.3 hours until 1 A.M. Monday, Febuary 9. It features specialty programming and an assortment of live performances by local artists. On Sunday night, the Fundraiser Bash performances will be broadcast live from the Michigan Union Ball - room. The roster for this event includes a variety of performers crossing all musical boundaries, from gospel and folk to jazz, reggae, and hardcore. Both local and national acts will be on hand, including First Light, a reggae band from Cleveland and local favorite, and The Dead Milkmen ("a band with an attitude," according to Hartmann), from Philidelphia, that should satisfy the hardcore fans. Some of the local acts will be the Ann Arbor Sax Choir, Frank Allison and the Oddsox, The II, V, I Orchestra, and comic O.J. Anderson. WCBN is the "only true free- form station on the air" that can be received in this area, according to Vicki Jean Beauchamp, the station's program director. The play list for the station is full of "obscure, unnoticed, and enjoyable music. We want to educate our listeners," she added, "If somebody listens for a while they're sure to find something they like. That's our purpose." The fundraiser serves a dual l purpose for the station. The obvious reason is to raise money. "It's equally important to thank the people who listen all year," continued Beauchamp, "We're throwing a party for our supporters." For those who already support and listen to WCBN, you're expected to be at the Union Ballroom Sunday night. For those who are unfamiliar with WCBN, this is your chance to support a very important University radio station.

She wanted to see what the houses looked like, but I assured her that she'd seen enough of Jersey in Englewood the night before (to be fair, they've got some very nice :malls, really). "" Instead, we headed for Times 'quare, where we got in the "two- fers" line for Social Security. I had hoped to catch a Village show, but Sascha mentioned she "doesn't care for" jazz. (I dislike that expression, but, hell, she's still learning English. Sascha insisted on touring ;52nd street and proceeded to sing .me all the lyrics she could remember, in random order. We found a quiet little Italian ;restaurant, and I ordered a bottle of red (actually, it was the Stage Deli and a coupla cokes, but I'm pretty sure the waiter was Italian). Sascha insisted on going up the Empire State, which turned out to be more pleasant than expected; the altitude is so much higher when you're outdoors, compared with glass- enclosed observation decks like the Sears Tower. The show was pretty mainstream Broadway comedy - a lot of sophisto hamming and some racy lines, and I missed Marlo Thomas, but.... Hmm? Oh yeah.
