Student Life Television to hit airwaves on Sept. 5

     The University's Student Life Television (SLTV) programming
begins its fall season Sept. 5, changes both on and off the screen
have been made to broaden student involvement, increase the technical
skills of interns and volunteers and offer new programs for the
viewing audience, according to Charlene Jaeger, assistant to the vice-
president for student life.
     Carlos Hervas has been hired as a full-time producer to provide
technical training to student interns and volunteers, who create and
direct, videotape and produce original campus shows under the
direction of the Office of Student Life.
     "Through Student Life Television," Jaeger said, "students will
receive experience that could lead to a career in a number of
broadcasting fields."
     In SLTV's first season, which premiered last February, 45
students served as volunteers or interns. A key goal this season is to
expand internship opportunities to more students.
     Douglas M. McLeod, assistant professor of communication, will
serve as adviser to members of a new student organization-yet to be
named-in film and television production.
     New on screen this fall will be Steppin' Out, a fitness show
filmed at the Harrington Fitness Center.
     Blue Hens Worldwide will feature students reporting from Grenada
and Madrid, as part of their studies abroad. They will discuss their
overseas classes and the new friends they have met.
     One of the most popular shows returning from last season is BH1,
that features campus radio station WVUD disc jockeys turned video
hosts, who present music videos and keep viewers up-to-date on live
performances with the latest in concert announcements.
     Also returning is Have You Heard, where student interviewers take
to the campus sidewalks, finding out what students think about
issues-on and off the campus.
     University Media Services transmits SLTV programs onto the
University television system. The programs, which are produced in the
Perkins Student Center, air 14 hours daily, five days per week.
