J. P. Salyer J. P. did a lot of the tough jobs during his days at WAUP. He worked the police beat for the news department. As this picture testifies, he was also our number 1 parabolic mike guy for our 1975 football coverage. Notice the WAUP (ABC) Sports jacket? |

| Bill Jasso Bill was a very creative and energetic News Director during the 1974 period. Bill created "This Morning", a two hour news and information program that ran weekday mornings on WAUP. He also masterminded radio coverage of the Virginia Slims tennis tournaments at Memorial Hall. |

| Joe Harvat Joe was news director at WAUP twice (once as an undergrad, then again as a graduate student). He anchored the 1975 version of This Morning and produced the station's football and basketball coverage during the 1975-76 season. |

| Reporting History WAUP staffers were witnesses to a lot of history during those turbulent days of the early 1970s. There was Watergate (anyone remember the big Nixon resignation party down at The Two Turtles?) and, of course, the end of the Vietnam War. This image shows the original AP teletype wire that disc jockey Marc Connelly read on the air the day Saigon fell. Click the small image to see a larger version. |

| It Pays To Advertise This advertisement appeared in the Buchtelite in August, 1973. WAUP signed off the air for several days that Summer and this ad was heralding our triumphant return. For the life of us, none of us can remember the exact reason we had signed off. We're pretty sure it wasn't for technical reasons. Anyone remember? |

| Who Wrote That? Deluca Distributors of Akron (think Pabst Blue Ribbon) was kind enough to underwrite WAUP's coverage of high school and Akron U basketball in 1975. We used part of their money to buy this ad which appeared that Fall in the Akron Beacon Journal. Pretty clever slogan, huh? |

| Tony Van Gilder It's pretty amazing how few WAUP people had senior pictures that appeared in the Tel-Buch. Maybe we were all too broke to get our pictures taken or maybe we had a zit that day. Or maybe we felt it was one more way that "the man" was trying to oppress us! Right on, baby, power to the people! Well that has nothing to do with Tony Van Gilder, a top notch WAUP news hound who wasted no time making the transition to commercial radio (WHLO). Tony was a great guy with a golden voice. But he did sell out to the establishment and had this very nice senior picture taken! |

| Jeanne Weidanz Being a woman amidst all of those hormone-addled guys at WAUP was never an easy task. Jeanne Weidanz, along with Pam Godfrey and a few others, not only survived but seemed to thrive in that atmosphere. Jeanne was one of our jocks at the height of WAUP's progressive rock era. |
