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.
