V> ,...,...,.. ~,.:,^^ Electrical Problems Shut Down Radio Station by Rik Scarce WHAT - "The Stereo Sound of Stetson" - is off the air due to a problem in the stereo-or control-board. The station is expected to be off , the air for a minimum of one week, according to Theo Etzel, director of the intra- University radio station. Fears of a fire hazard had been expressed by some, but Etzel explained the situations "There is no fire hazard. The transformer inside the stereo board malfunctioned, and the board just wouldn't work. The power was then cut, and a local engineer, Tim Trott, checked the board." It was Trott who discovered that the problem arose from a tar-like substance which coats the interior of the transformer. For some (unknown) reason the tar had begun to "ooze" in Etzel's words, causing the problems. "The power to all parts of the station is now off, and there is absolutely no fire hazard, either to the building (the Carlton Union Building) as a whole to jhe station area," said Etzel. The board, built by GLI Disco, has been used by WHAT since the station's inception almost two years ago with no previous problems. Once a year an engineer checks out the board for possible malfunctions. Mr. Trott was not at the station to check the board when the problem was discovered, but was asked by the station management to check the board as a precaution, however. Mr. Trott then found the oozing tar and suggested that the station be immediately closed down. As of Tuesday, the station should be open by about October §-8. lie Stetson Volume 90 Number 4 Stetson University DeLand Fla. September 30, 1977 Students Go To Polls In 'Near Record Numbers' By Russell Schropp Stetson students went to the polls in near-record numbers last Tuesday to elect selected positions to the Student Assembly, Judiciary Council, and Publications Board. In all, twenty new members were elected to the Student Assembly, two positions were filled on the Judiciary Council, and a representatives-large was elected to the Publications Board. "We had no problems whatsoever," stated Assembly president Ion Sancho, coordinator of the election, adding, "I was particularly pleased with the off-campus vote. Over 280 votes came from off campus students." In the off-campus race for Student Assembly, senior : Tim Scranton easily pulled in the largest number of votes to secure one of the four off-campus rep positions. Jim Eolfes, Pam Cole, and Bob Rains were also elected to the Assembly from off-campus. In other Assembly positions, Michelle Blank and Debbie Miley were elected from Emily Hall, with Miley pulling in only two more votes than opponent Kelly Duffield. Cathie Clemmer and Margaret Healy were elected from Stetson Hall, Dean Bethea and John Draper from Smith Hall, and Gary Wolfe and Ed Towson were elected from Carson Hall. Two races for Assembly representative — from New Tuesday's turnout was the second highest in Stetson history Men's Form and Gordis Hall—resulted in only one winner each with a subsequent run-off on Friday to determine a second representative. Jack Scalera was elected from New Men's and Russ Bauseh from Gordis. In the run-off on Friday, Tony Julian and Dan Perry will compete for New Men's and Richard Filson and David Fox will oppose each other from Gordis Hall. Six representatives were elected to the Assembly unopposed: Yvette Webster and Debbie West from Chaudoin Hall, Dana Dunmire and Cindy Lampert from Conrad, and Rhett Barker and Harry Messersmith from Frat Row. In the two Judiciary Council races, Mark Thrash narrowly defeated Kevin McDonough for the position of Junior male rep, and Patricia Boyd defeated Pauling Evans for the Senior female position. Freshman Joni Ammazzalorso ran uncontested in the race for Freshman Representative-at-large to the Publications Board.
