LCC can’t stop ’Calcutta'

There is no legal way that the
Lexington (‘crtter Corporation
(Lt‘t') cart prevent the production of
tilt! t‘alcutta at the Opera House
(tel. 15, said Tom Minter, executive
director of the. |.(‘(f.

“The bottom line is that
production of tilt! t'alcntta is per—
mitted by law and the LC(‘. is
prohibited by law from keeping out
such productions," summarized

_ Minter

The director was referring to a

‘requcst from the Urban (.‘ounty

reconsider allowing the production
to be staged in the Opera House.
The rmuest was initiated by
t'ouncilman l’aul ltose during

The measure was approved after
lengthy debate by a 7-5 vote.
According to Nancy Stitzel. ad-

Experience, license vital

Students learn broadcasting business first-hand

Radio can be great company.
People often switch it on for
background noise while carrying on
other activities like homework.

world events when not divulging
some personal information.

Many of these unseen, but often
heard voices belong to UK students
tryirg to get practical job ex-
perience with local radio stations.

Experience is hard to come by, but
it's difficult to get a job without it.

Dan Remlds of WLAP confirms this. ,

”Practical experience '3 very im-
portant. It‘s hard to hire a person
who doesn’t have enough experience
that we can test them out.“

In a competitive market such as ’

Lexington lack (1‘ experience can
dim one’s chances of being hired.
Another obstacle blocking the way
of would-be DJs is the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) law that requires a com-
mercial operators license for anyone
brmdcasting over the airwaves.

According to WKQQ DJ Jack
Renaud, a UK junior, anyone ap-
plying for a job without a license is
immediately disqualified

Although all of theUK studert disc
jockeys are not communications
majors, the majority said their
interest in the broadcasting field
might lead to other jobs related to
commercial radio.

UK junior Steve Scott
(professional name~~few ever rse
birth names) began his career early
immateur radio at the age of 13. By
15 he earned his FCC license, andat
16, thrwgh a Junior Achievement,
program, began his ‘nll'v: tat"

But, through a friend he heard ofa
part-time opening atWLAP and sent
an air cteck that “wasn‘t the finest
quality." Despite his pessimism, he
was hired and has been working
there since June.

Ken Kristopher of WVLK outlined
the typical hiring process. “You give
them (prospective station) a
resume, one page or so—something
short. andthen they’ll give you an
air check." An air clack, be ex-

hours this semester and it’s
beginning to get to me."

Studying at work is hard because
of the distraction of watching the
records (in case of skips or other
malfunctions), the DJs agreed.
Besides, there are always things to
do such as setting up for the next
song or canmercial.

However, newspapers, trade
magazines and other light material
wasa favorite way to pass the hours.

Evenwith Renaud's heavy class
schedule, he works atboth WKQQ
and the campus station, WBKY.

At WBKY he began working with
tapes and newscasts, althotgh not
going onthe air himself. He is still
employed them and hopes to do the
piay-by-play reporting for
basketball and football next year.

Renaud was fortunate to sectrre a
job with WKQQ last January when
they switched from an automated

He said his major in telecom-
munications p‘obably made a dif-
ferencein beirg hired. “The director
sawthat telecom was my major and
he wobably knew I was more
serious about radio than the guy just
on to get the fame (and fortune) ofa
ill," said Renaud, who now works
the six-toten evening shift

Often mechanical problems
develop when the station is on the
air, butfew listeners are aware of
what really takes place during the
shows.

WBKY DJ Al Klensch, with a
year’s experience, confirmed this by
saying, “There is always something
that goes wrong. You forget
something or a machine doesn't
work. Somdhirg always comes in."

Despite the proliems. Klemch
said it’s not necessary to be a

Minter, who was to he the
recipierrtol' the letter, reported that
as of early yesterday afternoon he
had not received the letter.

tilt! talcutta, a satirical play
about sex, has been the eye of
controversy ever since the
protlttct iotr o pelted off -lit'oa(lway irt

about staging the show in this city.
The company had already booked

What all these things have in common, of

Eleventh District council member Paul Rose,
who made the motion, said some of his con-
stituents didn't want the play to appear at a

public facility.

Legally and ethically, there are only two words
to describe the situation: that’s tough.

if the LCC were to void the contract with the
production company, it would leave itself wide

open for a lawsuit.

Minter. even a private theater couldn't legally

Pcrfomiances of “Oh! Calcutta” have won the
right to be presented in courts in Cleveland and
Erie, Pa. Opposition to the play has been led by
“politicians who think they can feather their
nests with censorship," in the words of Dyke
Spear, the play’s producer.

Asidefrom fhelegal argument, why should the
council have the right to limit artistic expression
in Lexington? Plays are not forced upon the
public, and the right to choose whether or not to
attend is all the censorship that’s necessary.

in an ironic note, the council recently ap-
proved a “clean zone” surrounding the
Lexington Civic Center and the Opera House.
That zone would keep those neighborhoods free
of pornography-related businesses, which the
council feared would hurt the operations of the
center and theater.

But the only obscenity is local goverment’s
at tempt to determine what kind of entertainment
the community should see. Freedom of ex-
pression and artistic preference, unlike
politicians, are not subject to majority rntp
