If you could change one thing To Whom It May Concern: I have listened to 92-J go from good to almost incredible, according to what college radio is all about. Well, in at JSU, what would it be? less than two months time, the reputation and sounds have gone from that of almost incredible stratight to feces. --Compiled by Fritz College radio is about what the hottest, new bands are playing. It is not about what the disc jockey on the air feels like playing at that particular moment. Since National Public Radio (NPR) takes up a lot of our airtime, there is not much time left to play the required number of spins (plays) a new band has to be spun. Each DJ usually works for a period of three hours. This time is supposed to be for college music. We are now broadcast over the internet for all to enjoy across the borders. This is a perfect opportunity for the record labels to hear what exactly we "People stay on weekends." are and are not playing. When the labels realize that 92-J is not playing the correct music then they will stop contact and the use of their promotional CDs. This will be bad. At night from 10:OO pm to 2:00 am should be the only time a DJ has the freedom to choose. Nobody wants to hear the same bad music and attitude anymore. The shows from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm display these bad elements and have become a running joke on campus among 7th Yr. Senior music lovers. The same is being notice between 7:00 pm to 10:OO pm and on weekends. Now that we are being heard through the internet, we want exceptional representation. We are not getting it now. Robert Ray, Roger Johnson, And Richard Howell (previous employees) know college music and you all who are not doing their job right, need to take advice from them. I hope not to offend those who do their job right, only those who think they know it all are the one's I hope take this letter to heart, open their eyes, and get the station back on the track it was "I would lower tuition, and make on. tuition lower on out of state Sincerely, Janna Waller Timothy Devlin Dear Ed~tor,JSU Students and Faculty, WLJS/ 91 9 FM-92-J IS Jacksonville State Un~versity'srad~o statlon The station IS run ent~relyby students, the majority of whlch are on a volunteer basis We are a non-prof~torganlzatlon that serves as a tralning ground tor lndrv~dualsinterested In pursulng a career In communications We are now broadcasting worldw~deon real aud~o at www jsu edu, follow the bounclng ball 92-J IS also a Nat~onalPubllc Rad~oAffil~ate The musical format of the statlon is very broad In an attempt to prov~desomething to everyone's l~klng As a college rad~ostatlon the (positively/negatively) on what they want " bulk of our programming IS geared towards "alternatlve" muslc 1) Th~sIS the type of muslc sent to us free of from their schooVadministration. charge from record companies 2) We are the only statron In a sixty m~lerad~us that prov~desth~s type of muslc WLJS prov~desa service to the record companies and the College MUSICJournal by chartlng th~smuslc sometimes months before an lnd~v~dualcan hear ~t on commerc~alrad~o statlons or MTV Graduate Student L~stedbelow IS the schedule of programs that can be heard on 92-5 Hopefully readers, whether students, faculty, or just members of the community, will find something to the~rlihng &/or wrll be made aware of the station's existence and what we offer Sun & Mon 2AM-5AM Jazz After Hours "Parking hangtags instead of Sat &Tues -Frl 2AM-SAM NPR-NewstTalk Monday-Fr~day 5AM-9AM NPR-Morn~ngEd~t~on window stickers.

It would be something to see Earnhardt win the Diehard 500 after the tumble he took there last year that took him out of the points chase. The key to winning the race at Talladega is drafting. Restrictor plates placed on the carburetors limit the horsepower of the engines. No car can win at Talladega without drafting. Therefore, you have to fmd friends or teammates, push the accelerator, and shift left through the turns. You have to have lots of luck, good pit stops, and the ability to miss wrecks. It will be a big challenge for each driver come Sunday. Something else is also noteworthy for the sentimental race fans. Ernie Irvan will once again be driving the car painted like the one of the late Davey Allison. Irvan drove the car in the Coca-Cola 600 earlier this season. The car will be run once again this weekend to honor Allison. It has been a tremendous season in Winston Cup racing. The sport continues to draw fans in from all over. No matter how many seats they add to Talladega Superspeedway, they will sell each one because of the excite- ment of NASCAR racing. The green flag will fall just after noon on Sunday starting the 188-lap Diehard 500.
