Ambitious Woman
Is WGC Announcer
BY JANICE STILL
Age and sex shouldn't bar one
from a life-long ambition. This
is a strong belief of Shirley
Robinson, a 38-year-old
housewife and mother who pulls
a two-hour shift on Tuesday and
Friday for West Georgia
College’s radio station, WWGC.
It seems that Mrs. Robinson
has always been a lover of
music. She recalls her early
childhood days and said she
feels her father’s love of music
had a direct influence upon her.
As early as her senior year in
high school she wanted to be a
radio disc jockey (DJ).
Like so many other young
girls, she had an idol on one of
the commercial stations and
swore to herself that one day
she, too, would be a DJ.
However, as fate would have it,
she fell in love, got married, had

a son and only now, some 19
years later, finally has a chance
to fulfill her dream.
Mrs. Robinson said she’s
received nothing but support
from her friends and family
since she first announced her
plans to become a DJ. She went
on to say that it’s her son that
has helped her so much in her
selection of music and keeping
her in touch with what the
young people of today like.
She’s an ardent fan of today’s
music and considers herself
very open-minded and recep
tive to the different types of
current music.
As she reflected upon her
“first shift” on the air, Mrs.
Robinson said she was ex
tremely nervous and was
tempted just to run away from
the cold, steel board that faced
her. However, this was her
chance for anew beginning and
she wasn’t about to let it pass
her by.
Now after having been on the
air for about a month, she said
that her only regret is that she
didn’t act upon her desire
sooner. She said she feels that
her present position of DJ was
worth all the time and trouble it
took to obtain. Mrs. Robinson
said she finds satisfaction in the
idea that she’s entertaining
people and informing them
through her job at WWGC.

Shirley Robinso i, 38-year-old house wife and mother, works a two-hour shift for the campus
radio station, WWGC.
Mrs. Robinson’s performance
at the station, Dave Callaway,
general manager of WWGC,
said, “She’s as energetic as
most of the typical college-aged
DJs, if not more so.” Callaway
said that Mrs. Robinson is
always prepared and very
receptive to constructive
criticism offered by station
personnel.
According to Callaway, it
takes a couple of months for one
to overcome the initial shock of
being on the air, and he added
that Mrs. Robinson is doing
very well.
He emphasized that he tries to
get across to all the DJs, one
idea, “One must never let his
emotions be detected over the
air.” In reference to Mrs.
Robinson, Callaway said, “Few
stations in this area have a 38-
year old woman as a DJ.”

Credit Trips Planned
For Summer Quarter
Imagine sitting in France
studying in a park. Or how
about hiking down the Grand
Canyon with other geology
students? Or would you rather
travel to the New England
states to study American
literature?
These are some of the op
portunities that students will
have this summer to get out of
the classrooms and travel,
receiving five to 15 hours of
credit for their work.
Students may study language
or art in France, Germany,
Spain, Italy, Greece, Mexico,
Columbia, or Peru. Most trips
last about 10 weeks, with 10 to 14
days of travel. Cost for the
different study tours will be
around SI4OO.
The geology department will
be offering a graduate and
undergraduate camping field
trip out west this summer. Both
are five hour credit courses and
cost $225, plus regular
registration fees.
The departments of English
and continuing education are
sponsoring a studycade
through New England and the
nation’s capitol. A five hour
credit course will be offered to
both graduates and un
dergraduates. A $238 tour fee
will cover everything except
registration fees, textbooks,
food, and entrance fees to
monuments. This trip is also
designed for people who wish to
make a non-credit study tour.
According to Dr. Lucy Ann
Neblett, associate professor of
language, there are several
types of programs available to
students who wish to study
abroad. Each summer through
the university system, students
study language in France,
Germany, and Spain. Studies of
art are made in Italy and
Greece.
Another opportunity for
language studies through West
Georgia is at summer school in
Mexico City at the Universidad
Ibero-Americana. The summer
session last for six weeks,
beginning June 16.
Foreign students of the Ibero-
Americana live in private
Mexican homes. There are
never more than two United
States students in one home.
“Living in a Mexican home can
be rewarding in cultural and
social experiences, as well as
economical,” said Miss Neblett.
While studying in Mexico
three hours are spent in classes
each morning and two hours in
the afternoon with a Mexican
tutor. “During the afternoon
THE WIST GEONGIAN AMU 4, 1075
period students may study, go
shopping or even sit in a park,
as long as all conversing is done
in Spanish. Following this
schedule students can earn
15 credit hours,” the
professor said.
Students may do individual
language study in Mexico,
Columbia, or Peru. There are
only three or four insitutions in
Mexico that are on the approval
list of the Southern Association
of Schools and Colleges, so
participants must clear this
with the registrar and foreign
language department before
going to study.
“Students can profit more by
studying abroad after com
pleting at least two quarters,
preferably four, of foreign
language,“advised Miss Neblett
“Studying abroad is of value
to every student whether it is in
his major or not. You find
excellent on-the-spot foreign
experience and a chance to take
a better look at our own way of
life in America,” she said.
Colorado and surrounding
areas will be f ination of
geology students this summer.
The field trip for un
dergraduates, Geology 407, is
scheduled Aug. 15 through Sept.
15, involving 15 to 20 people. Dr.
Summer Long, chairman of the
geology department, said most
of the participants will be
geology majors or minors, but
there would possibly be some
openings for other interested
students who have had the
Geology 201-202 sequence.
The course for graduate
students, Geology 625, is
designed as an in-service
training workshop for science
teachers. This field trip lasts
from July 21 to Aug. 6.
“Students camp-out the entire
time on both trips,” said Long.
“The trips to Colorado promise
to be as exciting as previous
ones taken to Mexico and
Canada, for Colorado is alive
with geological events. There
almost seems to be red flags
waving at you pointing to events
in geology. Both groups will
visit several national parks,
scenic areas, mines, caves, and
collect fossil and rock
specimens.”
Long mentioned one ad
vantage for teachers taking the
graduate trip is the opportunity
to make their own visual aids
for classroom lectures.
The studycade, sponsored by
the departments of English and
continuing education .will last
from June 12-22. The trip will
involve 30 to 45 people.
