Bongiovi could not he reached for comment Producer and W \ l M (ieneral Manager Chuck Bortnick said it is unfortunate that no one wants to spend the time to do the work of running the show
‘To say the show is successful is an understatement,” Bortnick said
LOC US: America original^ began locally as LOCUS: Miami in spring of l')7" That t all. Arenstein toured the east coast interviewing people. After that, the show was nationally syndicated to over 80 stations by the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System.
Arenstein said he considers it a compliment that no one is capable of doing the job he did with the show
Arenstein said he is confident that Burger King Corp would continue to fund the show if someone worthy would take it over
"Burger King will not support anyone I do not think is qualified to continue the show at Its current level." he said.
Guests who have appeared on the show include: Mohammed Ali, former South Vietnam Premier Nguyen C'ao Kv. Washington Post executive Kditor Ben Bradlee, * 'Happy Hooker' Xaviera Hollander, George Gallup. Andv Warhol and K. Lee Bailey.
Bailey s inters lew airs Sunday at 7pm on WINZ-L’M
Arenstein said the interview with Bailey and the one with Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Chaim Hertzog W ere picked up bv the NBC Newsand Information Service
Arenstein said he feels the communications department, particularly Heather Bischoff, should take a more direct role in year-to-year transitions so that there is continuity in the station programming
"Something to prevent all of last year's programs from ending, "Arenstein said.
Arensfeln said -18 half-hour shows were done in the last year and a/nalf.
"PPrhaps the University should fund the program because it brings exposure on a nationwide level," Arenstein suggested.
"It would also make it easier to find a replacement for the show because Burger King will not fund anyone they are unsure of."
WVUM Advisory Board Chairman .lames (irimni said he thinks WVUM will continue to search for a personality like Arenstein during the summer
Rod Collins, program director for the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System, said the show is interesting and proles sionallv done
“ The program has very wide appeal to campus iomnium ties overall and creates a very positive Impression ol 1 M .is the show would for any institution," he said

"The program is more than just playing checkers with old people," said one of the 15 students involved in the volunteer Internship Program "Chaver.” Chaver, which is Hebrew for friend, is a program which otters up to three credits for students to act as companions for the elderly Jews of South Miami Beach
The program is co-directed by Dr. Jerome Wolfe of the sociology department and Rabbi Richard Davis of Hillel. The students are required to spend six hours per week with their chaver. hut most students spend mam mon
"They (the students) become like grandchildren, and when the semester is up. manv of the students don't want to leave," Dr. Wolfe said
At first some of the old people resent having a young companion, Wolfe said, but soon the old people see that at their stage of life, the students are not giving them strategies on life, just some companionship
There is some sort of screening, which is done by the South Beach Activity Center. They also do the placement for the students.
The service is free to the people, awl there is no waiting list.
Tfrire is little or no cost for the students, and when money is involved. they usually go Dutch treat

After a year of internal problems in the math department climaxing in th< announcement of his being replaced. Chairman David Hert/tg said he hopes ihe math faculty will be able to "stjrt anew in creating an atmosphere more responsive to students
Dr llerlzig, who will retain a teaching position, said the math profes-ors were spending an "enormo i amount of time" with departmental "politics" which may have been responsible for poor ratings in recent sell-studies
"Thev were di-trai ted somewhat from their attention to the students, but this has been minimal." he said "At the same time there were enough concerned tacultv to put forth new program ideas. Now that the 'heat of controversy' has subsided, their attention will return, as much as possible, to the students
During his six vears as chairman. Dr. Hertzig said he made manv significant improvements in "building bridges to the other areas of the University community " Previously, he said the department was operating as an "isolated entity" which did not "cater to the needs" of other majors such as biology, engineering or pre-med

According to him, the faculty objected to such innovations as departmental exams, the posting of individual office hours and Ihe teaching lounge where students

"Ihe clique that was uinsulteii represented by far the most productive segment of Ihe department as i i-.isured by resean him omplishment." he said
Dr Hertzig said he blames most of the department's problems on the “economic crunch.” He said the lack of fund for salary increases, summer teaching positions and graduate classes ai counted for some of Ihe hard feelings among the department members, hut that he never u ed preferential treatment for his friends.
"I've always attempted to he extremely fair, and I have been extremely fair, in distributing the summer assignments," Dr Hertzig said.
His basis for selection, he said, was to “reward pro-ductivity and actiuil accomplishment” and not to "reward friends and punish enemies" as some of the professors charged.
