WWLR Gets Horney
This Saturday, Lyndon's on campus radio station, WWLR, is hosting the second annual "Horneys".
Last year, the event was extremely successful. Over one hundred students, faculty and guests attended the event. This year, club members are expecting nothing less.
"We wanted a large club event each semester," said Cody Fernald, one of the directors of the club.
The awards show has received some buzz.
"People talked about it," said Brien, founder and director of the club.
That is why they are choosing to bring it back again this year.
Fernald explained that the awards would be given out based on the quality of the radio shows.
Brien goes on to say that, "Awards aren't based on the best music played, we look at the commitment and how people present themselves on air."
Brien and Fernald explain that the ten directors of the club choose awards. Each director makes nominations and from there they vote anonymously over e-mail.
The club was first established in the 1970s and has gone through peroids of inactivity.
Two years ago, the directors of WWLR decided to take the club in a new direction by becoming more active on campus and holding events like the Horneys and their annual spring event, the Drag Ball.
Since the changes, WWLR has become extremely popular. The most recent count has the club at 86 members, but since then it has grown.
"It is continuing to increase," explained Brien, talking about the number of people involved in the club. He explained that he doesn't count guests that show up during airing time, and if he did consider them members of the club, than again numbers would significantly increase.
The awards ceremony will be a semi-formal and open to the entire student body, free of charge. It is being held Saturday at 7 p.m. in ASAC 100. Food will be provided—Pizza Man—and so will entertainment. There will be four live bands playing, including The Summit of Thieves, Duk, B-Wise and Suncooked.
