A Get Ready For Winter Tip From tlanook: "Another goal of the station is to gain more departmental and community interaction. We want the community to know that we are here to help them air their grievances," said Franklin. One of WMUW's featured shows, "Community Contact," has done just that. 'Community Contact did a show on the Lowndes County bond issue and we like to think we played a part in helping that to pass," Franklin explained.

Student participation is another goal of WMUW, or "88-plus," as it is more widely known, "Student participation is a must for the station," said Franklin, "It will either make or break us." Students involved with the station feel that radio involvement is a real asset. "I feel that I have learned a lot by doing the noon news on WMUW. It has helped me to better organize ray time and has taught me to think on my feet," said Annie Robinson of West Point, a freshman journalism major. "Getting an education in radio is mostly experience," said Linda Gunter of Columbus, a senior broadcast journalism major. "If there were no opportunities to work with radio equipment, students would not get a chance to make use of what they know." "Doing the news at WMUW has helped me a great deal.

It has been time consuming, but worthwhile. I have learned to appreciate the news more and the experience will open doors in the job market for me," said Randy Gray of Columbus, a senior broadcast journalism major. Persons interested in participating in WMUW should contact Bob Franklin at 329-4750, est.255.

The MAE contends that the recommendation passed by the State Board of Education fails to reflect the commitment made in the Education Reform Act of i982 to move teachers salaries to the Southeastern states average. The average salary for 1984-85 in the Southeast Region is $19,684 compared to only $15,971 for Mississippi teachers.

"We said at the time of passage of the Reform Act that a $2,700 increase was necessary for teachers during this current year. The failure of the Legislature to grant any increase this past year now requires a $3,500 salarv increase in each of the next two "years for the Legislature's promise to be fulfilled." continues President Harden.
