reach and teach children.

The show regularly will include
interviews with Abilene residents and
local role models and footage from
area schools
One segment of each show will fea-
ture a school in the Abilene Indepen-
dent School District. This portion of
the program called "School of the
Week" will focus on the school's stu-
dents stall and special programs.
Other regular segments include:
"Word of the Week" which highlights
an unusual vocabulary word each
week; and "The Wheel of Ha-Ha" a
game featuring pie-eating egg-tossing
type contests.
"Good wholesome things arc kind of
tough to sell especially in this day and
age" England suid. "You've got to
keep it flashy quick and a little
messy."
The program is similar to the type of
shows Nickelodeon produces said Dr.
Dutch Hoggatt teacher of the class and
assistant professor of journalism and
mass communication.
The production is a first for the Video
of Journalism and Mass Communication

be some of the most innovative and
exciting people."
Some of Reese's outlets for serving
women include teaching the class
Women in Christian Service coordinat-
ing Equipping Women for Ministry for
the summer workshop scries writing
articles for Image magazine and assists
in the production of a video scries for
women.
Reese also serves as director of the

running cameras as well as monitoring

room.
England also invited students to con-
tribute their ideas for the new show.
"The technological differences in stu-
dios can be made up for in creativity"
he said.
"It's a learning process" said Hog-
gatt. "The most exciting thing about
this opportunity is that these students
are producing something that will be
shown locally to a wide market of peo-
ple." The students in the class also are
excited about the production.
"I ant really looking forward to the
real world experience and what we'll
have to show for it" said Melissa
Horn junior mass communication
major from Coppel.
The class's brainstorming already has
conjured some ideas that England and
the Camp Waycoo staff look forward
to implementing Horn said.
"I really think this is an outstanding
opportunity for ACU" England said

Reese said adding that developing a
center to meet these needs was a dream
of hers for several years before it
opened.
One purpose is simply to equip
women for Christian service; the other
is to serve as a resource center and cat-
alyst for meeting future needs and
opportunities of women.
"I don't know if there's a better time
in history to be a woman" Reese said.
Marsha Harper sponsor of the W
Club and director of the library said the
club has honored specific role models
for about 10 years.
