Country station adds rock
By Geoff Martin
Student Reporter
KCWS-FM West 102 changed
its music format recently from
country to a hew format rock V
country.
Dob Morgan traffic and human
resources director at KCWS-FM
said "The format change was strict-
ly a business decision."
The new station format mix made
sense he said because classic rock
V roll has influenced singers tike
Garth Brooks. About four country
songs play each hour he added.
The audience response has been
positive he said. "The request lines
have been ringing off the hooks
with people saying how much they
like it" Morgan said.

Some arc just glad pledging is finished.
"I am extremely glad that pledging is
over" said Kelly Romeo Fratcr Sodalis
member and sophomore broadcast production
major from Tampa Fla. "When I went to
pledge I wanted to be as active as possible
yet still maintain my grade point average but
it was impossible."

mixed opinions about the new for-
mat. Tiffany Palmer junior account-
ing major from Austin said "I just
don't like all the older stuff the sta-
tion plays now" adding it should
have kept the old format.
Robbie Miller senior business
administration major from Corpus
Christ! said "I thought it was the
best country station before it
changed but the country it plays
now I don't like at all."
Wendy Hiftcs junior elementary
education major from Houston said
she likes the station better now
because she enjoys both types of
music it plays.
"Abilene needed the Variety the
station brings because there wasn't
a good classic rock station before
now" Mines said.
Romeo said that even though pledging
required extensive time he wished he had the
opportunity to pledge as long as the older
members.
"By ending our pledge period after four
weeks instead of the traditional six it makes
me feci less qualified to be a Frat" he said. "I
even believe most of the members look at me
as if I am less qualified."
Some thought that academics suffered
because of the time required for the pledge
period.

The rate of crimes committed in
the area around campus was aston-
ishingly low for the past 60 days
said officer Gary Hcslep of the
Abilene Police Department.
The area considered the
ACU Hill - is bound on the north
by Ambler Avenue and Intcrstatc-
20 on the cast by Judge Ely
Boulevard on the south by North
10th Street and on the west by
Cntcluw Creek and Trcadaway
Boulevard.
Three burglaries one robbery
and 13 thefts have occurred in the
area since Sept. I
Hcslep said burglaries rob-
beries and thefts arc similar crimes
that involve someone stealing
something but each is classified in
ber and sophomore elementary education
major from Henderson said "I thought
pledging would never end. It was so time-
consuming that my grades went down."
Tanya Eddlngs Tri Kappa Gamma member
and sophomore speech pathology major from
Atlanta said even though it required "a great
deal of time pledging it was definitely worth
it."
Most students agreed that pledging was
stressful and time-consuming. However
some students thought the difficult schedule
arrangement Was worth it.
Apartment entrance walls to
By Aaron Hulsizer
Studont Roportor
ACU will tear down the entrance
to the University Hills apart-
ment complex in the next few
months and build a new entrance
across from Judge Ely Boulevard
closer to the apartments said Jack
Rich vice president for finance and
administration.
The reroute of Judge Ely Boule-
vard around ACU In 1991 left the
brick wall signs to the apartment
complex stranded on one side of the
old Judge Ely Boulevard across
from Sikcs Hall.
The old Judge Ely Boulevard is
presently a parking lot and the
brick signs which both read Uni-
versity Hills are some of the only
remnants of that part of the road.
Kevin Watson director of-busi-ness
services and investments said
"Part of the reroute of Judge Ely
involved an agreement with the
University Hills Homeowners
Association to place signage for
them on the other side of the road."
"We arc having an architect
design the signage for us" he said.

police reports as a different type of
crime.
Burglaries arc committed when
n person unlawfully enters an
establishment such as a house
business or church and steals
something he said. A robbery Is
committed when someone takes
something by force he said. A
theft Is committed when someone
takes something without force
such as shoplifting he said.
Other crimes committed during
the 60-day period were two car
burglaries and three car thefts
Hcslep said. One of the car thefts
occurred at Smith-Adams Hall
where a green Toyota pickup was

Rich said part of the reason why
the walls have not been moved
sooner involves n matter of
redesign.
"The walls need to be placed at
different angles because the curve
of Judge Ely Boulevard was
changed with the reroute" he said.
"The correct angles arc needed to
give the walls the same high visibil-
ity it had on the old Judge Ely
