As term paper deadlines near and finals approach, many students
visit the University Library for a little secluded study. But
sometimes this seclusion makes for a better resting atmosphere
than a studying one.
must have a declared option in
the College of Business
Administration, a grade point
average of 3.0 and a minimum of
60 credit hours, 12 of these being
from UT El Paso.
A current transcript must be
turned in with the applications.
The grant can be as much as
$200, and the “applicant must
establish a financial need for the
scholarship,” Trudy Dawson,
business professor, said.
Amacker said that the petitions are being distributed
throughout the city, the University and Ft. Bliss, and that
signatures have reached approximately 350.
Both Anderson and Amacker agree on a goal of 2,000
signatures and that the organization will continue distributing
the petitions until they reach this goal.
The correct use of Spanish
conversation also will be
emphasized.
Explaining that the
organization is not limited to or
aimed at the native speaker, he '
said, "We want anyone who is
interested in learning the
language or familiarizing
themselves with the Spanish
culture.”
Some members of the Spanish
department plan to allow these -
discussion sessions to count as a
lab credit, Hernandez explained.
He obtained permission from
Diana Natalicio, chairperson of
the modern languages
department, to organize the
sessions. Hernandez also
acquired two advisors for the
organization, Carlos Zumuria
and Coquis Tabuenca, teaching
assistants in Spanish classes.
“We are in hopes of obtaining
funds from Inter-American
Studies, an academic program on
campus, or possibly one of the
Mexican universities,” he said.
“This would enable us to
correspond with students in
Mexico or even visit them to get a
closer view of the Mexican
culture.”
Saturday night is disco and up-tempo music night, and
KTEP-FM’s “Tootsie Roll Soul Show"-helps set the mood.
But, two black student organizations on campus, the Black
Student Coalition and the Kapp Kupids, want to know whether
anyone is listening.
These organizations currently are circulating petitions urging
KTEP to change the radio program from its 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Saturday spot to a new night between Monday and Thursday.
Chuck Amacker, a coalition member and one of the
instigators of the petition, says that getting a new time slot for
this show is very important to the organization.
“The main reason we are doing this,” Amacker notes, “is
because this is the only program for blacks in El Paso, and the
organization believes that the show doesn’t reach its audience
on Saturday night.”
Gina Carter, Kappa Kupids member, agrees, saying, “no one
is home on Saturday night. If they programmed during the
week it would reach a much bigger audience.”
She believes everyone enjoys the show and its dedication
portions, but that with it’s Saturday airtime, only a few are
taken, these usually between the hours of 8-9 p.m.
Amacker agreed that the program and its host, Wayne
He said that current Sunday and Monday listeners guarantee
the station an audience of 7,000.
McKenzie believes that Saturday is the best night of the
week for the “Tootsie Roll Soul Show,” since Saturday is
traditionally party night, and adds that the station offers the
only five-hour soul show in El Paso.
But Miss Carter says, “Why put a show like that on during
Saturday night? Who is going to stay home?”
He emphasized that the function of the radio station is to
provide radio service to the city, and adds that he wants and
welcomes input from the black community.
“Any person who has something to talk about of interest to
the community can contact me,” McKenzie added, “and we
will set up 1-minute interviews to be aired on my morning talk
show.”
The recipients will be selected
by a review committee of three
students and three faculty
members, who will meet after
Jan.1.
“The number of recipients
depends on how the $3,000
received by the departments is
distributed,” Dawson said.
Applications are available in
100 Bell Hall. Deadline to turn
these in is Dec. 15.
Thornton, are good, but expressed concern that there is a
possibility the program might be rubbed out entirely.
“When the program was aired during the week, there were
two disc jockeys available,” Amacker explains, “but they
moved the show to Saturday evenings. There is now only one
disc jockey available who coaches a women’s basketball team.
“Who will be available on Saturday nights when the
basketball season starts?” he asks.
Mike McKenzie, program director at KTEP, explains why
the program changed from its former Monday night slot to
Saturday.
“A survey, taken during the summer from every zip code
area hi the city, showed that the overhwelming majority of
people wanted more classical and jazz me sic.”
“In theory,” McKenzie noted, "we sent it to all economic
levels and believed that we received a cross section of the
population.”
“Since Sunday night has always been our night for classical
music,” McKenzie continued, “We believe that it is good
programming policy to have the same type of programs
together, so we scheduled the Monday night show of classical
music to follow the one on Sunday.”

Have you ever been in a
situation where you had to select
a proper Spanish word to
describe something-hut
couldn’t?
This is one reason Carlos
Hernandez, junior political
science major, decided to do
something about increasing
student’s Spanish vocabulary.
Hernandez is establishing a
student organization, which will
consist of discussions, trips to
Mexico, visits to cultural spots
and listening to guest speakers.
Hernandez began the program
because “many of those who
speak Spanish butcher the
language -Spanish-speaking
people included.”
The organization will
interrelate the various field trips
with discussions in Spanish.
“Hopefully, this will help to
teach Spanish correctly and
familiarize those interested with
a wide variety of vocabulary,”
Hernandez added.
The group will discuss in
Spanish such topics as politics,
humanities and the Southwest.
“This will help the student learn
the jargon related to that
particular field,” he explained.
