In the past WRCU subscribed to a news wire service but the cost strained the budget and the staff is now looking for a good service that would be available via the Internet. One of the strengths of the station is opportunity. Rory Thomas put together a feature based on Cornel West's appearance last semester, and Reynolds is receptive to that type of potential. He is also aware of the power of WRCU's voice on campus. Public service annoucements are frequently heard and notices of Colgate events are a constant throughout the broadcast day.
College radio plays a role on the dial.
It gives voice to a variety of music and is a learning experience, both for listeners and DJs. This kind of radio does function in the unfamilar. At its best it should surprise, inform and entertain. That's no easy trick. Catherine Sykes '99 updates her CD critiques.
