crowd at the Dean Tate
Student Center, "I always
call my speeches How to get
a job like mine' and just talk
about anything I want to ."
Vonnegut offered to help

"because you've spent all
that time telling people what
a nice person you are and
how they should read the
rest of your nice story, and
no one really gives a damn
about the writer.”
Further educational ad
vice from Vonnegut came
through chalked in graphs of
the plots of Cinderella,
Hamlet and other classic
story lines drawn to prove
any computer's inability to
create fiction.
Vonnegut drew boos and
catcalls from the audience
when he called all Georgia
students "Reaganites " He
went on to denigrate the
Reagan administration's
"cheerfulness "
“They're saying you don't
have to clean up or pay for
anything, just stick it to your
grandchildren, they're not
even alive yet." he said

The Georgia Public Telecommunications
Commission has petitioned the Federal
Communications Commission to build a
public radio station in the Georgia Center for
Continuing Education, with plans for con
struction to begin in 1986
The station is one of two made possible by
the W.K. Kellogg grant given to the
University last spring The University’s
Cooperative Extension Service will operate
an experimental station in Tifton, Ga . said
Richard Ottinger, executive director of the
GPTC
WELL. 91.3 FM. will be affiliated with the
National Public Radio. Georgia Public Radio
and the American Public Radio Networks
WIXL’s format will include classical and
jazz music, educational programming for
adults and children, public and cultural
affairs and general information and
educational programming, Ottinger said
Specific programs include "Morning
Edition,' "All Things Considered." and
"Prairie Home Companion, " Ottinger said
Plans include radio reading for the blind
and in-school instruction through the Sub
Carrier Auto channel distribution, which
requires listeners to obtain a special
receiver
Edward Simpson. Jr . the director of the
Georgia Center, said programming jsn t
targeted to a specific audience, but that it
will be potentially accessible to an infinite
number of audiences
The station will receive programming
from the NPR, but must have five full-time
staff members, a budget of over $100,000 not
including federal funds and must ha\.
18 hours of operating time per day
Construction costs for both stations will be
approximate!} $650,000 to $700,000 Cost-
would be met by grants from the Keilog
foundation and the National Telecom
munications and Information Ad
ministration, < ittinger said.
"The total costs have not been finalized
Ottinger said, but approval from NTIA might
not come until 1985
Operational costs would be funded b>
community service grants, but those could
not be approved until the station has beer:
operation for at leas! one year. Ottinger said
"Our intention would be that the stalioi
would be under our operational control
Simpson said
The station will accept volunteer workers
including students, Ottinger said
