Under a new FCC ruling, non-profit organizations, along with individual lis teners, will now have an opportunity to underwrite programs on KWAX-FM. This will allow non-profit groups such as churches, social services, and libraries the chance to promote special events, con certs, programs and services. In addition, individual listeners will have a chance to buy underwriting to commemorate birth days, anniversaries, weddings, or even a favorite composer's birthday. But the real benefit of this new ruling is (he added fundraising capacity it gives to public radio stations such as KWAX-FM. With the continued state and federal funding phase-out for public broadcasting, new sources of income must be found soon. This new FCC ruling will help in the effort for KWAX to become self-sufficient by 1985. Underwriting can be obtained by contacting Denny Guehler, KWAX Pro motion/Development director at 686-4243.

Women’s Resource Center Did you come to Eugene ex pecting to find a Women’s Center? Or have you been living here and feeling the need for a women’s space? Even before the Women’s Town Meeting in September, a group of women had been meeting for the pur pose of creating a Women’s Re source Center for the Eugene Springfield community. Since that time more than 65 women have given their support and energy toward a realization of that goal. The objective of the Women’s Resource Center is to provide a supportive space where women can come together to foster women’s autonomy, sisterhood, and liberation, encouraging di versity and giving support to women of various ages, sexual orientation, and physical ability and to various racial, ethnic, economic and spiritual groups. The center would provide re source referrals for a wide varie ty of activities, and would have, space for workshops, cultural events, a library, day care center, as well as just a place for women to come together social ly. The Center’s supporters have already sponsored several events and fundraising projects in cluding a Women’s Dance on International Women’s Day. Ongoing now is a workshop to build Lesbian/Non-lesbian understanding with Lyn Marx and Vicki Koch. Coming up in May, on Friday the 13th, will be a Community Dance with that entertaining group, the Cashiers. It will be held at the Central Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall, 1475 Ferry. Various work shops and events, including a women’s poetry reading, are in the planning works, with a calendar of events to be out in June. All interested women are welcome to join in making the Women’s Center a reality. Meetings are the first and third Wednesdays of each month at the Whitaker School. Please call Karen at 689-2093 or Tegen at 935-7175 for more information. —Tegen MacFarland (--—— WATsHAPPEMIRG ; P.O.
