Because Grinnell’s previous nation (started in 1948) had gotten in trouble with the FCC and had consequently lost its license, the new station had dil- iiculty in getting its new li- cense. After this obstacle was overcome, the broadcasting was iurther Slowed when the area housing the station was not completed, Limited broadcast- ing did eventually take place last spring during graduation week. Financing ior 1(ch comes from SSA lunds. Most oi the equipment in the station itself was donated by Sherman M. Fairchild, along wuh money from alumni. Because the station is broad casting 121 hours per week, one of the keys to its operation \5 the students involved. At the present time there are 85 stu» dents on the staif, 40 of whom are DJ’s. The goal set by the station is to have all the staff obtain 3rd class licenses [mm the FCC. News for KDIC comes from several sources. UPl provides news on a 24 hour basis. Other news is gotten from outside newspapers, as well as tram several c a m p u s reporters. There are presently 15 people on the news stall, which Is headed by Martin Wiesenield ’89. One of ‘the most important features of the news staff is the nightly show from 7 to a PM. This hour, termed Special pro grams, is devoted to topics or Current interest. It includes in- terviews, taped music features, or panel discussions at impor» tant Issues (such as the recent ones on the grape strike and the presentation by CBS.) "We hope to be flexible, When Iomething important occurs on campus, in the nation, or in the World, we Want to do Some- thing about it." is the reeling 0'! News Director Martin Wie’s? enteld. The editorial policy of the sta- tion is decided each week by the board of KDIC, consisting of the Station Manager (AI Cloud, ‘69), the News Director Martin Wicsenfeld, ’69), the Programming Director (Diane Pomerance, ’69), and one other member of the board. From editorials submitted to the sta- tion each week, one is chosen and read on the air. Agree ments or dissensions on what was said may then he sube mitted to' the station.

Last spring he was called in tour years active duty as an enlisted man. Now 18, Walters may be ordered into iiiiilorm any time, alid certainly within two years. Watters thinks that his Calirup was at least partially political.’ His beliefs on the war and on the “military mentality," his military background, his pic ferences or hair style, clothing. and footwear were introduced at a military investigation. He was told by a full colonel that his case would go all the way in the Secretary or the Air Forte, because ROTC had recently been attacked in Congress as a haven for draltrdotlgers ml that Watters’ case was theielore po- iitioaily sensitive, “What bothers me about the deiense of ROTC as voluntary is that the services are signing up boys too young to make ills formed decisions on the direc- (ions of their lives. ROTC IS it place for dogma, ior specialized training," continued Walters. “A liberal arts institution is ii place [or free inquiry." “Even though they might not he taught to pull triggers.” said Waiters, “the emphasis in ROTC is on turning oiit mana- gers and leaders tor a machine whose final object is to kill."
