caller's requests we get listeners from as far as easton and allentown a lot of times people would call the station request ing us to play a new popular disc and it was missing friedman said tlie popular ones were the first to go within a matter of days new compact discs that were given to wlvr for promotion just weren't there any more it was getting to be a real problem the new equipment being in stalled will be bolted and chained to a table and djs will be required to take complete inventory of the equip ment when something is recorded as missing the directors will be able to pinpoint the time that it was taken in the past they had no way of knowing when things were removed from the studio so it could not be reported carrier believes the new system will force djs to become more re sponsible in the past there was a problem with djs just logging in their name and the time that they came into the studio now if they don't fill out the log they will face the consequence of being removed from the air car rier said friedman said the new system will deter theft because of the time and equipment accountability when your actions are being so carefully scrutinized people will be less likely to take things he said b&w photo hy marc calabrese al v in cohen receives winning check for good scholar election from zeta psi president mitchell zaninelli 96 bagel store to open near
