              The Maroon Loyola University, New Orleans September 11, 1981 Vol. 60, Xo. Senior Common Room to have student guests By Cynthia Hite Maroon News Editor Students can now eat in the Senior Common Room as a faculty member's guest, following the passage of four proposals put before the SCR Association, said Dr. Maurice Brungardt, chairman of the history department. Brungardt, the new president of the SCR Association's Executive Committee, said that 36 of 121 votes cast by members were invalid because the returned envelopes were not signed. The remaining 85 ballots were valid. Brungardt said "in all four cases the proposals carried," and will become effective immediately. Proposal no. 1, recommending the admittance of students as guests during the noon meal, was approved 45 to 36. Proposal no. 2, asking SCR members to pay a fee of $5 a semester, was approved 60 to 11. Proposal no. 3, allowing nonexempt employees (the support staff) to join the SCR as associate members, passed by a vote of 44 to 36. Proposal no. 4, recommending that the Executive Committee consider ways to keep the SCR facility open in the evenings to accommodate the City College faculty, passed by a vote of 60 to 9. A random survey of faculty and administrators found them to be favorable to the proposals' passage. The Rev. George F. Lundy, S.J., director of the Institute of Human Relations, said the first proposal was a "great idea." Lundy also thinks the second proposal was reasonable. "It will help to defray the cost and reduce the amount of the subsidy," he said. Lundy was particularly glad to hear of the passage of the third proposal. "To me that was the most important proposal; I'm strongly in favor of it," he said. He also thought it was important that the fourth proposal passed. "It will help the faculty who teach at night feel more a part of the university community," he said. Dr. Bruce Henricksen, chairman of the English department, said he didn't have strong feelings about the proposals one way or another. But he added, "I don't have any problems with it." Dr. Joseph Hebert Jr., music faculty, said the passage was fine with him, but because he doesn't really have time to use the room "it doesn't affect me at all." Danna Center Director Manny Cunard expressed his pleasure at the passage of the proposals. "The results of the balloting have reaffirmed my belief and trust in the unique sense of community at Loyola," he said. New officers were elected to the Executive Committee of the SCR Association for the 1981-82 academic year. They are: president, Dr. Maurice Brungardt; vice president, Dr. Stan Makielski, political science faculty; treasurer, Allen Boudreaux, accounting faculty; two secretaries, Raphael Rabalais Jr., law faculty, and Dr. George Petrie, accounting faculty; and two ordinary members, Dr. Dale Williams, history faculty, and Dr. Lydia Cerullo, sociology faculty.

Collins Maroon Reporter With two new transmitters and new ideas for programming, WLDCAM resumed transmission Monday. WLDC Music Director Tommy Samona is worried because of a lack of reception in the past. "Due to faulty transmitters, no one could pick us up," he said. Samona hopes it will be different this year, as each residence hall now has a new transmitter. "We hope that these two new transmitters will help to build up our listenership." No longer a division of the communications department, WLDC — with studios in the basement of Danna Center — is now an independent organization under the sponsorship of the Student Government Association. Samona said WLDC has applied to the Federal Communications Commission for a license to broadcast on the air, which will mean increased listenership and income for the station. Samona described this year's format as primarily alternative music, not "your basic 'Top 40' stuff." He said WLDC will include specialty shows this year such as a Spanish show, an oldies show and a feature LP. News, sports and weather will air every day at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Plans are also in the works for a variety talk show, which may be called Loyola Tonight, in the 8-10 p.m. Monday slot.
