Hello all my fine feathered friends here at good old Harper College. Hope you are enjoying the nice weather, great cafeteria food, President Breuder's wardrobe and many other things amongst those. This is my first manifesto to you the student body. A bunch of individuals who some have a clue, while others do not.
My findings as of late is that Harper College Students do not know that there is a radio station on campus. For all of you less fortunate people who don't know, let the Ranger educate your asses. The radio station known as WHCM (the toilet stall for the loyal 3 listeners of my show) does exist at Harper. It is a closed circuit radio station that plays throughout the SAC. (Student Admin. Center) and usually people who hear it really do appreciate it. There is much hard work that is done on a weekly basis at the station, and we do play top 40 (yucko sucko) music. Not suitable for my tastes but I am sure there are a couple bubble gumchewing little boys and girls out there that like it. Allow me to say that people really bust their butts there including myself. Now two things that people at Harper are doing have me ticked.
Now before I continue, I would like to remind the dear readers that these are my opinions, not necessarily the entire stations. So please do not hold them accountable for my comments. I want to be held. I want to be held right against you too.
First off, the students. Some of you should at least take time out to come check out the station. Sit in the SAC and enjoy coffee (especially at 7am Tuesdays and Thursdays) and listen. You may be impressed. If you are like one of these idiots that goes around shooting their mouth off about how the station sucks, then why don't you bring your silly ass upstairs, become a newsreader, do something worthwhile for the station rather than crying about how bad it is. People who cry about things never have the guts to do anything about them. It is the people who try to conquer that end up sitting in a speedboat cruising down all those tears.
Secondly, some certain members of staff. Because I am a cool guy I will not mention names. This is "your" radio station and instead of calling upstairs every five minutes to bitch, why don't you call upstairs to request something you would like to hear? Like Frank Sinatra or Kenny G, or some other screwball like that. They say it is too loud. Well I say they are too closed up in their bad 50's movie screaming to get out, but are afraid to tarnish their image if they do. And one other note. We would like to hear the station in the cafeteria. It is nice to know there is a wider audience listening to you. No don't worry, your hash browns are not going to a hamster dance on the counter.
I believe that the radio station can do a lot for people here at Harper. However, I will get to that some other time. All comments can be sent to strictline@hotmail.com and you can see the rest of my bizarre world at https://www.angelfire.com/il/TheStonedRanger. So until then…
Hi ho steamroller and away,
