PAGE 9-PLAINDEALER-WEDh>E SDAY, APRIL 4, 1973 Lakemoor-Lilymoor Alma Hueckstaedt 385-5689 ENJOYING A GOOD DAY - The five students who predict weather for the public radio station of Northern Illinois university line up under the sun, with Davis Science hall and the NIU lagoon in the background. The student forecasters are, left to right, Dennis Hlinka, Ohio; Ron Weidner, McHenry; Ed Ring, New Hampshire; Greg Story, Elmhurst; and Jim Nasti, Cicero. Weather forecasters a u weather predictions usually elicit chuckles or a slight amount of skepticism from those hearing the forecasts. But at WNIU-FM, the public (non-commercial) radio station of Northern Illinois university, there are five student weather forecasters who hope people are taking them seriously. The "private team" of forecasters works seven days a week, and updates the weather throughout the long (18-19 hours) broadcast day on the station. The driving force and organizer of the five-man "team" is a 25-year-old student from New Hampshire, Ed Ring. The meteorology graduate student approached the station manager when school began last year and said he was willing to volunteer to do forecasts throughout the daytime hours. After working alone for nearly six months, Ring decided to organize other students to give constant up­ dates of the weather. After auditions, the students all went on the air. *> The five student forecasters use a National Weather Service facsimile machine in a science building at Northern to plot forecasts. After plotting the Farmers' Hotline" For Pressing Problems "Farmers' Hotline" has been initiated by the Illinois Department of Agriculture to give quick, efficient attention to farmers' pressing problems. The "Hotline," telephone number 217-525-2444, went into effect Sunday, April 1, and connects the farmer with the office of the director of agriculture. A special staff of experts has been directed by Acting Director Robert J. "Pud" Williams to give prompt at­ tention to any farmer who has problems, no matter how large or small, created by land local area chart, the forecast is made up and aired. Ring claims that the student forecasts have about an 80 percent accuracy rating, and with this record the students can take pride in the seriousness of their predic­ tions. But it should be added that the students still get plenty of ribbing, especially when the weather is bad. Even student weathermen have to take the hazards of the occupation. acquisition, the fuel shortage, transportation delays (railcar tie-ups) or other causes. In announcing the new ser­ vice, Williams stated: "This, hopefully, will restore good faith in state government, once again giving people the chance to have a voice in how we can solve their problems. "Too many times in the past, a farmer has turned to his government for attention to a pressing problem, only to be passed from agency to agency without anything being ac­ complished. "This will not happen at the Department ofAgriculture. One telephone call will give the farmer immediate attention and the best answer possible to his problem." Persons wishing to write to the department about their problems are still welcome to do so. They may address their questions or outline their problem in detail by writing to Farmers' Hotline, Illinois Department of Agriculture, General Office, State Fairgrounds, Springfield, 111. 62706.
