basic listener questions," says
DuVal.
He added that positions are also
available (or students to be train
ed as studio engineers, produc
tion assistants, public affairs
reporters, and in the areas of
public relations, promotion and
fundraising.
"No experience is necessary,
nor is coursework in broad
casting," says DuVal. KWAX will
provide the training to those
"with a strong interest and
motivation" in working at the sta
tion. He cautions, however, that
volunteers should expect to pro
vide a commitment of two or
three terms in exchange for free
training. Prospective KWAX
volunteers may call 686-4238.
DuVal himself is a classic case of
a volunteer who went on to a real
job in radio. While here as a
graduate student in 1978-80, he
founded KWAX's first folk music
show (currently airing from 10:00
p.m.-1:00 a.m. Fridays). Based en
tirely on his volunteer experience
at KWAX, he was hired as opera
tions manager of a combined
AM/FM station at the University of
North Dakota. After three years
there, he returned here last
month to assume the vacant pro
gram director's position at KWAX.
"Experience, not academics,
was the key," he said, "I don't
think I ever really intended to
finish my degree."
Public affairs news and feature
reporting also provide "a good
opportunity for student jour
nalists to actually hear their story
on the air, and to decide whether
broadcasting is a career they want
to pursue," says Fadeley. Students
can tape interviews, co-host
Fadeley's "An Oregon Evening"
show, which airs four nights per
week at 6:30 p.m., or assist with
production, she says, if they are
willing to make a sustained com
mitment to their work.
Fadeley recalled one example of
such commitment when a KWAX
student volunteer was able to
scoop the entire Eugene news
media this summer. Visiting New
York Philharmonic orchestra con
ductor Zubin Mehta had announc
ed that he would grant no inter
views. The student, Renee
VonOostven, was undaunted;
having heard a rumor that Mehta
had a weakness for chocolate truf
fles, and she knocked on the door
of his Hilton suite with the sweets
in hand.
“She got the interview," said
Fadeley, "with the 'Muzak' from
Mehta's hotel room as
background music."
Was this incident an isolated
example?
"There are more opportunities
here than students will ever be
able to fill," says Fadeley.

sy. One segment will consist of a
radio drama ("a farce, of course,''
she says) in three acts, and the
other will be a report on the finan
cial fiasco of WPPSS, a documen
tary piece on which John
Hockenberry, another KLCC
alumnus, will collaborate.

seems to be already, M'Lou is
looking for something more,
something which will put her
more "on the edge" of creativity,
and the world of radio drama has
caught her fancy. She would like
to make Eugene a center for high
quality radio dramas, featuring
local talent. How does she see
herself, approaching this new
venture?
"Life is like a big lake," she says,
"some people are swimming,
some people are drowning, and
some people are on the sHore
(listening to the radio, no doubt);
I'm the one ankle-deep and dabbl
ing — I want my work to be a lot
more scary than it currently is in
Eugene."
