Dear EMU Graduates and Friends:

Over the years, Eastern Michigan University has grown in both size and stature co the poinc where many programs and depart­ ments have been given nationwide recognition. One of chose departments is EMU's own public radio station, WEMU (89. l FM). Far from its humble beginnings as a 10 watt srndencstation, WEMU is now one of the premier public radio stations in southeast Michigan and is recognized as such by National Public Radio (NPR).

WEMU's news reporters consistently bring home awards and honors from the Associated Press in Michigan for special features, series, reporting, and wire contributions co name just a few. Our reputation for outstanding jazz and blues programming has made co-sponsorships with WEMU widely sought from such prestigious organizations as the Montreaux/Detroit Festival, The Ann Arbor Art Fairs, The University of Michigan Musical Society, The Frog Island Festival, The Ann Arbor Summer Festival, and The Ann Ar­ bor Blues & Jazz Festival along with many others. WEMU is an important community resource not only for Ypsilanti and Ann Ar­ bor, but for most of southern Michigan as well, bringing our listeners candid, direct, news reporting on issues chat matter co chem, playing the ve1y best in jazz and blues, and broadcasting EMU football and basketball co the thousands of EMU alumni in the listen­ ing area.

The l 04th Congress has made cuts to The Corporation of Public Broadcasting (CPB) a priority for early 1995. At the time of this writing, it was not known how extensive those cuts would be, however, it was certain that cuts would be made. Cuts in federal fund­ ing threaten not only NPR, but also WEMU, the voice of Eastern Michigan University chat represents your alma macer so very well.

During the months of March and April, public radio stations all over the United States will be holding their annual spring fund­ raising campaigns. WEMU's own on-air campaign begins Friday, March 31. For the sake of your alma mater, I urge you co make a contribution to WEMU or co the public radio station in your area. Eastern Michigan University would be a very different place with­ out WEMU. Beginning March 31, you may call in your pledge of support co (313) 487-89FM (8936) or contributions may be sent directly to WEMU at P.O. Box 350, Ypsilanti, MI 48197-0350. Please help co preserve chis important service to EMU, its alumni and all of southeastern Michigan. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mary Motherwell Marketing & Development Director
