Of the Emerald
It's showtime, folks. Smooth
professionals combine crisp tim
ing and sharp skills to produce a
flowing, entertaining live show.
Well — sort of.
Each Thursday night a represen
tative of the ASUO appears on the
local public access television sta
tion, cable channel 11, as part of
the live show "En Vivo.”
"En Vivo" is a half-hour com
munity outreach program that
uses a "what's happening" forum
to inform its audience of events
and affairs around town.'
"It's a great way to get in touch
with the community," says Bar
bara McCarthy, ASUO's assistant
coordinator of University affairs.
The ASUO was contacted last
summer, and a different person
has appeared each week, accom
panied by the person designated
to go on camera the following
week, according to McCarthy.
The ASUO contribution to the
show consists of only four or five
minutes, enough time to make an
nouncements but little else, says
Bill Hallmark, ASUO's coordinator
of programs and finance.
Hallmark, who appeared on the
show Oct. 6, says the atmosphere
at the studio is relaxed and infor
mal but offers its share of
excitement.
When he went to the studio to
observe the show the week prior
to appearing, Hallmark says he
was enlisted to become part of the
staff. When the crew was short
handed, Hallmark — who has no
experience in broadcasting or
with cameras — was pushed into
action and became the floor
manager.
Instead of getting an idea of
what to expect as a performer,
Hallmark had to help keep the
show rolling.
But that atmosphere makes ap
pearing on the show a pleasant ex
perience, he says.

ASUO representatives appear on cable every week to publicize
ASUO events.
the station if they adhere to a few
rules.
The station is not allowed to
show commercials and must
adhere to Federal Communica
tions Commission rules, says
Joyce Fessenbecker, center
administrator.
People can bring in their own
videotapes or use cameras and
equipment at the station if they
are members of the group, says
Lucy Johnson, who works at the
station as a volunteer.
Like Johnson and the students
from ASUO, most of the people
affiliated with channel 11 are
volunteers. And that means a pro
mising situation exists for ASUO.
McCarthy says a plan is in the
works to expand the ASUO par
ticipation to 15 minutes, giving
them their own show and more
time to more fully explain the
events they announce.
The plan includes involving
specific ASUO programs and
perhaps the Student University
Relations Council, which is
already involved with community
outreach, she says.
McCarthy envisions a show that
could grow to include broadcast
students and create internships.
"It can only grow, but I’m not
quite sure how it will grow and
where it will grow," McCarthy
says.
