Hosted by Linda Schacht, a campus lecturer, alumna and broadcast news veteran, these two-minute, personal chats will feature a variety of guests from across the campus. Kicking off the series in tomorrow's game will be Chancellor Robert Birgeneau, followed in the weeks to come by Athletic Director Sandy Barbour, Executive Vice Chancellor & Provost George Breslauer and Nathan Brostrom, vice chancellor for administration. As the season unfolds stay tuned for interviews with students, staff and faculty who represent the very best of Cal.

In addition to the halftime shows, each football radio broadcast will include two 60-second profiles of compelling characters drawn from the Cal community; everyone from the Counting Crow's Adam Duritz to former NBA all-star Kevin Johnson.

Also returning this year to televised Cal football games is a 30-second spot produced by Public Affairs that celebrates UC Berkeley's athletic and academic excellence.
