A Message from the President
Dear Alumni and Friends: Eastern Michigan is a university in transition. At this important time
�.... .--*,...... in our history, this transition can work to our advantage by giving us ::::;:;: ..:·· the resiliency to adjust to the ever changing educational needs of our society. The broadening career interests of current and future students de mand continuous curriculum diversification at Eastern. Being amen able to changing students' needs can provide the competitive edge which is needed more each year. I am optimistic about Eastern 's tutu re because of the opportunity for still more new program development within the parameters of our mission. Even with the growing competition from other colleges in our area, Eastern is in an enviable position with nearly half of the state's population within a 50-mile radius. No other regional university is so situated within the state. None other has the potential market that we do. Our responsibility is to develop programs to meet the special needs of the population groups we serve, including both traditional and non-traditional students. Our financial problem continues and is compounded by a beginning decline in the availability of traditional college age youth. Both prob lems will continue to be serious and will require constant attention. Yet what impresses me most about Eastern are not the problems, but the unique opportunities which exist. Our flexibility and innovative ness will enable us to respond more effectively to the changing needs and desires of the population groups which we serve.
Sincerely,
James H. Brickley President, Eastern Michigan University /1EMU Public Radio Station \.I Expands Listenership WEMU. Eastern's 12-year-old radio sta tion, increased its power from 10 to 15,000 watts on Oct. 19, increasing its listeners hip to include most of southeastern Michigan. WEM U has been a part of the Division of University Relations since 1972. The station's signal now reaches Ann Arbor, Saline. Milan and Belleville - its "primary coverage pattern," with no inter ference whatsoever. But the signal also has a secondary coverage pattern which will reach Detroit's western suburbs, Jackson, Howell. Flint, Hillsdale, Lansing, Toledo and Pontiac with little difficulty. Total coverage is about 5 ,500 square miles. The WEMU staff is comprised of four full-time professionals and 27 students. A new 48-foot antenna on top of the 105- foot Pierce Hall tower on campus has been erected. The tower is one of the highest points in the county. WEMU's signal now reaches most of southeastern Michigan. an area with a population of about five million people. The antenna broadcasts a cardioid-or lemon shaped-directional signal. which reaches approximately 60 miles to the west but only 30 miles to the east to avoid interference with Detroit and Canadian stations. WEMU broadcasts between the hours of 6 a.m. and I a.m. seven days a week. It is one of five public radio stations which may be heard in southeastern Michigan and features a unique jan format.

The Sculpture EMU's John Pappas, a professor of fine arts, was commissioned in 1973 by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan to create a sculpture for their downtown office building. Four years later, the massive bronze sculpture was dedicated as part of Detroit's pre-holiday festivities on November 21, 1977. The piece was sculpted in Pappas' Old Town Ypsilanti studio. When completed, the sculpture was lifted onto flat-bed trail ers by the second largest crane in the Detroit area and transported downtown. In addition to its aesthetic value, the sculpture is signi ficant to the city because it is the work of a native-born Detroit artist.
