Soutof-tfcc-border music and news is not exactly
its erecting you wouli expect when you tune in a Lin

Cut oa KRNU, 903 FII, Spnnish-speak announcers
and progratns hare been a part of standard operations for
more tJaan a year.
Tcsir Zfifcrca is a half-hour SpaniJi radio show broad
cast at 5:30 pm. e?ery Sunday on KRNU, the laboratory
braodcast station of tte UNL School of Journalism. Music
from SpaniA?eaSin3 countries is featured on the stow,
according to Ncrrna Casta, one of two announcers for
Fiesta Latino.

Chicano, cot jest Zh sail Canto, a teaching assis
tant in the English Dept. She explained that the program's
tills was chosen to appeal to all people speaking Latin
oriented lasgcaes. Fiesta. Latma includes some public
service and community announcements for Spanish-speak-ing
listeners in its musical format, Cantu said.
Fiesta Latvia, helps KRNU fulfull its obligation to
meet community needs by letting people know what the

journalism professor Stephen Coon, coordinator for
Fiesta Lctim, sa&l. Coon, also KRNU public affairs dir
ector, said he woull Vke to put more information into the
program, to reach a better balance between music and
news.
There is little coverage of Latin American news in
Lincoln, Cantu said. Latin American Renew, a half-hour
public affairs program broadcast from the University of
Texas-Austin, follows Fiesta Latsva weekly at 6 pan. The'
Review gives news of Lata America.
Expansion to an hour-long format would allow more
time for news broadcasts and interviews wfch Spanish
spealdng leaders in Lincoln, Cantu Said. ,
T e have resource people with services to offer Span-rh-speaiing
people in the community,'" she said. Fiesta
Latma would be a way to make these resources available.'
"Hopefully we can expand the information part of it
(Fiesta Latma),1 Coon xdd . Extending the program to an
hour will depend on audience response to what currently
is being broadcast.
The Fiesta Latma staff comprises Cantu, Coon and
Eeatriz Gonzalez. V.ith Coon's technical assistance, the
two women tape their weekly show in the KRNU studios.
Eecause Fiesta Latma is considered a public service to the
community, there is no production charge, Coon sax.
Fiesta Latma originated last year with two Mexican
graduate sUsdatts, who transferred the program to Cantu
and Gonzalez when they left UNL last spring.
Tere not professionals," Cantu said. "Fiesta Latvia
is something all students should Esten to, even if it's just
to get the feeling of the words and the music."
Audience size and response to Fiesta Latest have been
difficult for the staff to 'gauge. A sizeable percentage of
the Mexican-American community in Lincoln is xsrare
of the program, according to Coon. People taking spaniA
classes like to listen to Fiesta Latma to brush up on their
listening ability, he added.
Fiesta Latma is the only foreign language program of
its kind broadcast in Lincoln, Coon said. Similar pro
grams in other languages at KRNU are not being planned,
he said. .
