CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS TO: Barmy Campbell, CSUN President FROM: Torrrny Walker, Radio Station Consultant RE: Resignation After much thought I have decided to tender my resignation as radio station consultant. I have a job offer in my area of specialization, prograimuxig. The salary and position are too attractive to pass up at this time. As I know you are aware, I have been here since May of 1978, and have worked on three and four month contracts with no benefits of real job security. LeighAnne is going to law school at UCLA next month and this imposes considerable financial strain. It is frankly not possible to meet my obligations at the salary level of $1000 a month. I wish to point out I have not been actively seeking another position, feeling I knew the drawbacks of the present position. This job came unsolicited on ray cart. The job will be in Dallas, Texas and I must make plans to be there August 15th. I am aware of the contract, and must regretfully not fufill the three month term. I will be here until the 15th insuring everything is in order with the project. I will gladly remain available beyond that date via Dhone if my help is required. Since a great deal of my new resition is travel, a return to las Vegas,(if need be)is not out of the question. Gordie Alsum is aware of the situation, and has agreed to remain with the project. At this stage,Gordie is more than capable of heading the construction phase. Before I leave on the 15th, everything will be in order. I do not know how long it will take to find a manager, however, a manager is not really needed until the station is operational. Everything is in the hands of purchasing and when equipment arrives, Gordie will take it from there. I hope you understand the situation and my reasons for making this decision. I have stated it above, however, I wish to personally see this station on the air as much as you do. I will do anything I can to achieve this goal. I certainly would not leave the project unless I had an offer I could not refuse, and this is the case. 4505 Maryland Parkway Las Vegas, Nevada 89154 Telephone (702) 739-3477 July 16, 1979 Sincerely, William L. Moreion CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS 4505 Maryland Parkway Las Vegas, Nevada 89154 Telephone (702) 739-3477 July 11, 1979 TO: Burt Teh, Director of Campus/Union Activities A1 Padderud, Faculty Communications Department Mike Stowers, Audio-Visual Lise Wyman, CSUN Vice President Susan Mueller, student Skip Kelley, student FROM: Danny Campbell, CSUN We are expecting the radio station to be turned on sometime this fall semester — and, thus, it has become apparent that we should start a search for a full-time radio station manager. I am asking all of you to serve as members of the search committee under my chairmanship. This is a position which should be nationally advertised. The first task, therefore, will be to draft a position description and the text of an advertisement. Because this position will be entirely funded by student fees, I think it is imperative that we look for an individual who can work with students, have experience in the radio broadcasting industry — as well as a background in management. The first meeting of the search committee will be - Thursday, July 19, 1979 2:00 p.m. 2nd floor of the Moyer Student Union Please advise me if you will not be able to serve on this committee or attend this meeting.
