GENESIS OF A NEWSPAPER
by [lave Brunner
When Maureen Bren-nan
.first approached me
about helping put together a
school newspaper, I was hes-itant.
I knew what it would
he like to undertake a pro-
(luct, starting from scratch,
and turning it into some-thing
that would be worth-while
and successful.
I knew that the only
way the paper would get off
the ground and even have a
first issue would be to have
a fine nucleus of people
hell-bent on one ideal: Put-ting
Out a College News-raper.
Well, we have those
people, and they did a fine
job; a superb job for a
maiden voyage.
From the writers who
worked hard gathering and
writing their stories; to the
interviewees who took time-out
of their busy schedules
to talk to us; to William
UiGiacomo who oversees
the whole venture; and to
the typist, Judy Cole, who
worked and worked some
more so that we could reach
deadline; thank you very
much. To the stUdents,
faculty, and friends who will
be reading this: Thanks!
Please do us a favor.
Help us make the forth-coming
issues better by giv-ing
us suggestions, letters,
critiques, ideas, and input.
The paper will only continue
to grow and be as good as
the two of us--the paper
and you--work together.
We look forward to
hearing from you. In the
meantime, thank you, staff,
for your effort and 1edi-cation.

PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES l
DR. BERRIER: THE
MAN BEHIND THE IMAGE
by Marilyn Hollinger
To many people, the
title llPresidentll suggests
staying away from or avoid-ing
the person with the
title. However, Dr. John G.
Berrier, President of
L.C.C.C., is a person who
wants students to stop in his
office and get to know him
and he to know them. We
all know some of the educa-tional
accomplishments of
Dr. Berrier, but we forget
tha t there is a person under-neath
the title President.
Dr. Berrier is origin-ally
from the Harrisburg
area. During his elementary
school and high school
years, he worked in a lum-ber
camp and on a farm. In
1931-1932 he lived with his
grandmother. The only in-come
was the money he
made on his trappings of
raccoons, skunks, muskrats,
and possums. He had a
good-sized garden, and he
v.JOuldgo door to door sell-ing
vegetables and fruit. He
also traveled to the market
in Harrisburg to sell his pro-duce,
and when he could not
do that anymore, he sold the
products to his neighbors.
He is a three-time
graduate of Temple Univer-sity,
because, as he says,
llthe first time didn't take.ll
He received his Bachelor's
Degree in Biology and Phy-sics
in 1940, his Master's
Degree in Physics and a
minor in Biology in 1949,
and his Doctorate in Psy-cholo'''

WLTC GOING ON THE AIR
by Jim Schulte
WLTC, the student
operated radio station, will
be broadcasting next se-mester.
Jim Schulte, the
sta tion manager, announced
that the station will operate
at 1000 watts, monophonic.
The frequency, which to
date is undecided, will be
88.9, 90.3, or 90.5 on the
FM dial. The cost will
be approximately $16,000,
which will be financed
through combined college
funds.
The station will con-sist
not only of rock ann
roll, but also improvisional
jazz, oldies, folk, and even
classical selections. Tl1i~
wide variety of music is
based on numerous consider-ations.
One is the FCC re-quirement
in the educa-tional
frequency and
another is the wide variety
of age groups attending
LCCe. A third reason is
tha t not all people like to
hear rock and roll all day
long. But, the basic format
will be new music. Some of
the students may have al-ready
heard the changes
with additions of an oldies
show on Thursday afternoon
and more and more jazz,
folk, and new, less popular
groups being played.
The 100o-watt power
at which the station wiJl
operate will be the largest
power output of college sta-tions
in the Lehigh Valley.
The station will transmit in
a radius of about twenty
miles from the school. This
will cover almost all of the
sponsoring school districts
of LCCC.
So, get your sterpos
ready and rock with us!
