AR 208 Sophomores Morning antics D oug Buce and Michael Allen couldn't afford to be drowsy in the mornings. Each weekday before school in the fall they entertained the campus with KHCA's "Doug and Mike Show. " The show, according to Buce, consisted of a rock music rotation, punctuated by impromptu chatter, jokes, and friendly insults between the two disc jockeys. Buce and Allen began the show in the spring of 1985, during their freshman year. Although the show was only slated to be aired one semester, the DJ's enjoyed it so much that they continued the show through the fall. The show was extremely casual. Buce and Allen would make no preparations prior to broadcasting, but would ad-lib throughout the program.

"It's a pretty loose, tongue-in-cheek thing," he said. 'We know each other so well we pick up on each other's habits ." The two spent much of their showtime making lighthearted fun of each other, believing that what was humorous for them would be humorous for the listeners as well. "We went in and had a lot of fun together ," Allen said. For the most part, the show received favorable responses from campus listeners. Students enjoyed calling in song requests, and, according to Allen, one wing in Armstrong made calling the station a regular habit . According to both Buce and Allen, the show was enjoyable and beneficial. Allen especially appreciated the handson experience, which helped him in his job at KKSY in Searcy. Not only did the two announcers gain experience, but they were able to provide music and laughter for the campus. "It's always good to know people are out there enjoying the show, " said Allen.
