WOI Radio broadcasts online
WOI Radio broadcasts now may be heard online. The new
Web-streaming service may be accessed through WOI's Web site,
http://www.woi.org. (Windows Media Player, needed to listen
to the broadcasts, may be downloaded from the site.)
"Increasing numbers of former Iowans who miss WOI broadcasts and ISU alums around the world have been asking us to get WOI on the Web," said William McGinley, station manager.
The streaming is part of enhancements to WOI's site, which features links to information pages on locally produced programs, an NPR news "ticker" with up-to-the-minute news headlines, national chat room with newsmakers, special arts news section and an online store.
ISU passes United Way goal
The Iowa State community has pledged more than $217,000
to the campus United Way campaign, putting it at almost 101
percent of the $215,000 goal.
Post Office boxes removed
Four U.S. Post Office boxes were removed from campus
Nov. 30. The boxes were located near Coover Hall, General
Services Building, Carver Hall and on Pammel Drive near
Spedding Hall. Ames Post Office officials said the boxes were
removed because of low levels of use. Boxes remain near
Friley Hall and Kildee Hall, and on Wallace Road near Maple
Hall. There also is a postal station in the Memorial Union.
Post office officials said they may re-install a box on the
northwest corner of campus. Fifteen to 20 boxes are being
removed city-wide.
