Ncon-John were both really bad, although lit
really their fault.
The real viliian was writerdirector John Herzfeld
a man whose main claim to fame was a few ABC
Aftcrcchccl Cpcciab. Ke should be shot for doing
this movie and the producers of the movieund all
the upper management at 20th Century Fox should
be imprisoned for giving him the money to make it
with.
Tern: How's this for a film: God decides he's going
to have a second flood, but some angels insist there
are still good people down here (like John Travolta
and Olivia Newton-John). Then it's a race against
time to see if they prove their love for each other.
New translator station
gives boost to KZUM
EylliieFrcsi
The previously obscure signal of KZUM, a non
commerical public access FM station, can now be
picked up in such far-flung ports of call as Denton
and Douglas.
Natalie McClendon, KZUM station manager, said
the increased coverage is due to a translator station
which has been in operation since Thursday. The
translator allows KZUM's signal to travel further
distances, without increasing the wattage of their
89.5 signal
The translator's frequency is 99.3 FM. "We're still
broadcasting at 89.5. This is just an additional fre
quency," McClendon said. "The significance is that
what is being broadcast at 99.3 is at a much better
location on the dial. Therefore, it provides better
coverage with the same signal" Both frequencies
broadcast at 10 watts, significantly less than the
multi-thousand watt frequencies of FM powerhouses
such as KFRX and KFMQ.
Previously, conservative estimates indicated
KZUM's coverage area did not extend much past
dowtown. McClendon said those same conservative
estimates now indicate KZUM's 99.3 signal could
carry as far east as 84th Street, as far south as Van
Dorn, and as far north as Havelock.
In addition, McClendon said she received reports
of the new signal being picked up by listeners in
Douglas, 30 miles southeast of Lincoln, and Denton,
15 miles to the west.
The new tower sits 300 feet above Lincoln's ter
rain, as opposed to 100 feet for the old tower. This
accounts for much of the additional coverage,
McClendon said.
Besides enlarging their coverage area, KZUM will
also be increasing their hours of operation. "Begin
ningFcb. 10, in conjunction with our birthday mara
thon, well be signing on at 6 a.m." Currently, sign-on
is 10 a.m. weekdays, 12 noon weekends, she said.
Because of the increased hours of operation,
McClendon said more programmers will be needed
to fill the morning hours.
She said anyone can be a programmer on the
station. "The main thing they need to do is fill out an
application and provide a five-minute demo tape." A
five-member programming board then decides il the
programmer is appropriate. If a programmer is
accepted, he or she goes through a period of super
vised training, which usually takes about 12 hours.
Interested persons can drop by the KZUM studios
at 244 N. 10th St. or call 474-5088 for more information.

Daily Ncbraskan
There's a devil character working against them so
it's even more exciting.
The real question we had to ask ourselves before
hand was: Can it really be that bad? Amazingly
enough, it was worse.
I'd give this movie a one on a 10 point scale, to be
generous. That's "no beer'on our beer rating system.
This movie was so bad it makes me want to SCREAM
AAAAUUUGGIIHII!!!!!!

Glenn: As you can see this movie really got our ire
up. Tom seems to be having trouble breathing so I
guess we'd better wrap thi3 up. I'm not going to rate
this movie. Just stay away from it. So, until next
