"It's easy to be drawn into a story and become part of what's going on, he said. "I want them to report from the outside looking in, to remain objective." Channel 5 has been enlarging its operation in Appleton since it was established, and there has been talk of centering its news operation here. No decision nas been made on that, however, he said.

As Wilck points out, the station's call letters stand for "Fox River in the morning to until after the 10 p.m. newscast. Channel 5 is owned by Midwest Communications which also owns WCCO in Minneapolis and which is said to have a strong commitment to news. Channel 5's helicopter formerly belonged to WCCO, which bought a new one. Cundiff said he would I ike to see the station have an even greater devotion to news coverage and more in-depth local series.

And it is that which prompted the Green Bay stations to establish Valley bureaus and to increase coverage of news events outside Green Bay itself in recent years. WFRV-TV, Channel 5, probably has the biggest commitment to the Valley with close to $500,000 invested in news operations headquartered in Appleton.

"Appleton is the center of our coverage area," said Ray Wilck, news director for Channel 5. "Every year we spend roughly a third of our budget on the Valley newsroom operation." There is at least a philosophical distinction there. Channel 5 views its offices here as a "newsroom" rather than a "bureau." "We have three newsrooms," Wilck said, "Washington, Green Bay and Appleton. Each is as legitimate a newsroom as any other." WBAY-TV, Channel 2, maintains a in Oshkosh; WLUK-TV, Channel 11, has a bureau in Apple-ton; and WLRE-TV, Channel 26, which does not have a local news operation, has a sales office in Apple-ton. All of them would like more viewers south of Green Bay.

Channel 5 was the first of the Green Bay stations to locate a reporter in the Valley. That was one man with a movie camera. It was before the use of videotape became widespread, and film had to be brought back to Green Bay for processing and editing. The station's first bureau was in Ed Cundiff's apartment in the Town of Menasha. "It worked out all right," said Cundiff, now Valley news director.

"Most of the time I wasn't home anyway." Now the station's Valley facilities, except for the helicopter based at the Outagamie County Airport, are in the AAL downtown building. Most editing of the material done by Cundiff, his two reporters and three cameramen is performed here. He has one editing "bench," and the station plans to add a second one soon. In addition, the station has two independent microwave circuits that relay tape to the Green Bay studios in seconds rather than the hours it used to take the Valley reporter to get his film back to Green Bay, process and edit it. Cundiff is, in a real sense, news director.

"I call my own shots," he said. "I pretty much have a free rein." Indeed, Wilck confirms this. "They pretty much cover what they want to cover," he said. "We don't call them and tell them what to do." Wilck, with overall news responsibility, of course has the authority to overrule Cundiff, "but that isn't done very often," Cundiff said. He is a native of Crandon and came to Channel 5 from a station in Wausau, where, among other things, he was a weekend anchor.

His television work started in Rhinelander, and his first broadcasting jobs were at radio stations in California. Cundiff's reporters are Danielle Kegel, a Milwaukee native who came to Channel 5 from a television station in Minnesota, and Paula Toti, who worked in radio in her home state of California before coming to the Valley. The cameramen are Lee Hitter, Rick Bruch and Terry Reed. The newsroom is staffed from 8:30 New Miss Teen needed money DULUTH, Minn. (AP) Denise Wallace, crowned Miss Teen of America, says the $15,000 scholarship money she won will help keep her in college.

"It'll really help out," said the 18-year-old computer science student from Farm ville, won the title and a $15,000 scholarship in the national competition in Duluth Saturday night. A freshman at Bradford University in Bradford, Wallace said she had "enough money saved only for this year of school. Alter that I was running out." Contestants were interviewed and also judged for their poise in long gowns and their displays of talent. Wallace sang "Sweet Virginia Breeze."

Weekend Calendar Blithe Spirit' opens Oct. 1 1 OSHKOSH "Blithe Spirit," a classic comedy by Noel Coward, will be presented by the Company for Wisconsin Arts in a dinner theater production Oct.

11-16 at Butch's Anchor Inn. The play revolves around writer Charles Condomine, who engages a medium to conduct a seance in his home in order to gather material for a new book. He gets more than he bargained for when the spirit of his deceased first wife is conjured up. The "blithe spirit" of his former spouse causes all sorts of mischief for the writer, who is the only person who can see and hear her. Charles will be portrayed by Larry D.

Meads, a veteran Company performer, and Louise Phillip of Apple-ton will make her debut appearance with the troupe as Elvira, the mischievous ghost. Rounding out the cast are Kate Clarke as Ruth, Charles' second wife; Noel Shield as Madame Arcati, the medium; James W. Alderson and Elaine Cartwright as another couple participating in the seance; and Jaye Alderson, who is also directing, as the maid. Weekday performances will begin following dinner at 7 p.m. A matinee on Sunday, Oct.

16, will start at 12:30 p.m. Reservations are requested and may be made by calling Butch's Anchor Inn (233-1733). Country star hits emotional chords FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -Country-and-western singer Tammy Wynette creates a "pathetic appeal" when she pulls at the heart strings of her audience, says an English professor at Texas Christian University who has analyzed her style of performance. "Tammy knows just which strings to pluck, and she plays them with the skill of an expert," says Neil Daniel, who also wrote in a university magazine that her "style, her delivery, and the rhetoric of her performance can be analyzed according to precepts that have come down to us from Aristotle" and "other classical authorities on the art of persuasion." Speaking of a "pathetic appeal," 1 the professor said the 41-year-old Wynette "has a way of singing, a catch in her voice that gets duplicated as she sings two parts in harmony, which will convince her listeners that she is crying and singing at the same time."
