Chicago prepare

CHICAGO — The Chicago Tea
chers Union Sunday prepared a
strike to shut down the nation’s third
largest school district today while
parks, libraries and the public radio
station planned alternatives for
440,000 students.
“All unions will, regretfully, be on
strike Monday,” CTl President Jac
queline Vaughn said when talks
broke off after about eight hours
Saturday night. Unofficial talks went
on through the early morning, but
ended at 6:30 a.m. with neither side
reporting progress.
But the union asked the school
board to resume negotiations Mon
day — after the C PU f louse of Dele
gates Sunday night hears Vaughn’s
report on negotiations and holds a
formal vote on the strike.
In other strikes, the school board
in Carbondale, III., said it would hire
replacements if a walkout does not
end for about 1,100 students within
a reasonable time. The teachers
struck Friday after rejecting a 9.5
percent salary increase. No break
was seen in a strike that began Nov.
16 in Morrisville, Pa., affecting 1,350
students.
The Chicago union’s 28,000 tea
chers, who have been working with
out a contract since August, are de
manding a pay raise and a roll back
of deductions in medical benefits the
board imposed last month to erase a
$40 million operating deficit.
Twelve thousand mem Ire rs of
other unions that have been dis
cussing contract issues with the
board will join the CTU walkout.

More is happening on the Quad
rangle than just military activities.
Between dorms 9 and 1 1 in lounge
E, a radio station with the call letters
KORP, a non-profit station run by
volunteers, broadcasts 24 hours.
In previous years, people who
weren’t members of the Corps of Ca
dets worked with KORP, but now all
the KORP members are cadets, said
David Holy, KORP station director.
When money was allocated from the
Military Sciences Building to KORP,
it was decided that only Corps mem
bers should run the station, Holy
said.
“We’re run by the Corps and ev
erything, but we try to make it so it’s
not a Corps-oriented station,” Holy
said. “We’re not catering to the
Corps. Even though the call letters
are KORP and it’s run by the Corps,
it’s not just for the Corps. It’s just
like any other radio station.”
KORP again will allow people who
are not in the (Dorps to be an-
nouncers during the Spring semes
ter. Conflicts with Corps activities do
not give cadets enough time to fully
man the station; so KORP will chose
a select group of non-cadets to help
operate the station.
“We went off the air because the
University cut funds for all the dif
ferent MSC activities and we didn’t
have the funds to go on the air,”
Holy said.
Monthly operating costs for the
station are $ 120.
“That’s for our phones and to pay
for our phone lines,” Holy said.
KORP has five advertisers that
help pay the cost of running the sta
tion, Holy said.
“They pay by the semester just for
a certain amount of air time and
then we give it to them real cheap,”
he said. Also KORP receives money
from people advertising privately.
I he KORP staff will make an
nouncements on their views about
certain on-campus issues like the
GSS or SWAMP, Holy said.
“We’re a real equal-opportunity
type of station,” he said. “We like to
let people express their own per
sonal ideas.”
KORP policy prohibits an
nouncers from giving their personal
views about an issue while on the air.
Holy said. That privilege is left for
the members of the KORP staff.
“The staff are the ones who will
give the viewpoints of KORP radio,”
Holy said. “They are the only people
you’ll hear it from and it has always
oeen a policy.” ,
About 15 percent of KORP's 65
announcers are seniors, 35 percent
are juniors, 30 percent are soph-
mores and 20 percent are freshmen.
Holy said.
Applications are given to those
people interested in becoming an
nouncers, he said. Names are put on
a waiting list according to seniority,
and when a time slot opens, the next
highest ranking person is selected.
Right now KORP has a limited
stock of albums but it is growing
steadily, Holy said.
“In two weeks I hope to have 150
more records, he said. Weta'
deals with all the record comp
and theCII send up promotional!
bums in exchange for advertising. |
Announcers bring their own
bums to the station, and newalbn
are bought from the $10 nit:|
bership clues. Holy said.
“We don’t play country
don't plav soul-type music. Hj
said. I lie KORP staff feels alard
audience can he generated b\ plfj
ing a rock format.
“Our diversity range is all the
110111 new waste rock, to rockabilly
early rock like the oOs, hesakl.
