Larry Darby, a sophomore
from Villa Rica, said, “I don’t
listen to it mainly because I live
in Villa Rica, and it’s too far
away to pick up.”
Sandy Henson, a freshman
from Bremen, said. “It’s okay. I
like their music and news.”
James Cooper, a sophomore
from Carrollton, said, ‘‘l
usually don’t listen to it.”
“I haven’t listened to the
station enough to form an
opinion.” said Marty Gazaway,
an economics major from
Covington.
”1 don’t ever listen to it, I
listen to 96 Rock." commented
Lyn Scott, a physical education
major and sophomore from
Columbus.
“I don’t listen to it. I listen to
W'KLS mainly. I don’t like a lot
of talking on a radio station.
WWGC mainly employs
beginners and I just don’t like to
hear new people learning to run
a station. I didn’t even like to
listen to my sister when she was
a beginner,” this was the
opinion of Ifebby Harrison, a
math major from Cornelia.
”1 don’t listen to it very often
because I enjoy other radio
stations more," said Cindy
Smith, an elementary education
major from Rockmart.

"It’s a nice station, but they
still need to play more soul
music,” commented Glenda
Washington, a special education
major and senior from Cave
Spring.
Debbie Haley, a sociology
major and graduate student
from Downs, said, "I don’t like
a lot of stuff they play but I like
some of it."
“I don’t have a radio so I
never listen to it,” said Cheri
Grant, a sophomore from the
Philippines.
“For a college radio station
it’s pretty good but I think they
need more of a selection. They
need to have more variety and
get newer albums as they come
out," commented Barbara
Helegesen, a sociology major
from San Mateo, California.

BUNNY HUBBELL
Bunny Huhbell, a junior
business education major from
Carrollton, said, ”1 do listen to
WWGC quite often and enjoy the
talk session among students on
campus. The music is too much
on the heavy rock side. We need
more classical and popular
music. I would be elated in
hearing a bit of South American
Peruvian music.”
Charles Tieman, a graduate
in education, said, "I listen to
WWGC sometimes. I don’t like
the format I personally feel
they try to run it like a big
commercial station, when it’s
really our station.”
”I’ve only been here a couple
of quarters so I don’t know very
much about WWGC’ at all, said
Ginny ('raven, a junior Spanish
major from Newnan. "I like all
kinds of music but probably
rock and pop (like top 40) would
be the best choice for the
station.
HILTON LEWIS
Hilton a senior English
major from Columbus, said, “I
think that WWGC is an asset to
the campus. I do think that in
the evenings classical selec
tions could be played for those
who enjoy that type of music. I
know many people don’t ap
preciate it, and would raise hell
about it, so if they could play it
for at least two hours this would
be very nice.
Scott Coveter, a graduate
student from Tampa Florida,
said. “Tell ya one thing, I prefer
WWGC to any of these local FM
stations. Man, it’s just the same
as listening to an AM station
specializing in ‘‘be bop” music.
The programming? Suits me
just fine although I wish more
announcements concerning
campus events were broad
casted.”
Don Tippett, a sophomore
from Atlanta majoring in
Geology, said, "It’s a good
progressive station if you’re on
campus. If they want more
people to listen they need to
increase their power output. I
think they should pull out some
of the older pre-woodstock
music.”
Nancy Goodman, a junior
from Decatur majoring in
accounting, said, “I think the
new album hour is a good idea. I
would like to hear more folk
rock.”
Bob Seay, a sophomore from
Atlanta majoring in accounting,
said, "1 think it’s a pretty good
station, however they need to
advertise more so more
students will be aware that they
exist. I would like to hear more
folk rock.”
Mike Crowey, a junior from
Atlanta majoring in
management, said, “WWGC
seems to be a fairly decent
radio station, but living just
three miles out of the city limits
I can barely pick it up. A more
selective process of obtaining
disjockeys is needed. I would
like to hear more jazz and

Charlie Grigsby, a sophomore
from Atlanta majoring in
sociology, said, “The wattage
power is too low for my radio to
pick up, otherwise I’d listen to
it. 1 listen to it while I’m on
campus.
Andy Eversol, a sophomore
from Atlanta majoring in
sociology, said, “Well, I think
it’s pretty good now, though we
need a little more Zappa. Glen
Phillips, and some basic rock
and roll.”
Frank Farmer, a sophomore
from Atlanta, said, “I like the
programming, especially the
album reviews where they play
a whole side of continuous
music without those awful
commercials. The music, or at
least what I’ve heard, is
representative of what’s hap
pening on the music scene
today.”
Robert Artley, a junior from
Macon said, “Between a range
of top 40 FM and heavy-duty
FM, I’d say it falls somewhere
between halfway and heavy
duty. The programming I’d like
to hear is more bluegrass; I’m a
bluegrass fan ya know! ”
Kitty Van Hausen, a senior
from Tifton, said, “I love it. I
just love it. I love all the guys
who work there and I love what
they play. Although 1 don’t get a
chance to hear it as often as I
like to. I still love it. My
boyfriend loves it too”!
Ralph Frank, a freshman
from Carrollton, said, "Never
listen to it and if I did 1 wouldn’t
like it because I’m strictly a
classical music buff, with some
Baroque mixed in, of course. I
suppose it caters well to the
decadent music tastes of most
people on this campus."
MANFRED MULLER
Manfred Muller, a graduate
in psychology from West
Germany, said, “I think they’re
above the level of West Georgia
College.”
Gloria McCaul, a freshman
from Bowdon, said, "WWGC?
Never heard of it.”
"I don’t listen to it. I just don’t
like it. Every once in a while
they slip up and play a good
song,” said Debra Goddard, a
business administration major
from Rockmart.
Buddy Barnes, a freshman
from Carrollton, said, ‘‘l like
some of their music, but a lot of
music they play is obscure. I
think that the deejays should be
more enthused about their
work.”
Donald Strand, a sophomore
music major from Austell, said,
“I think it is a pretty good
station. They need to play more
of a variety of different kinds of
music. I would like to hear more
top 40 songs.
