Stollenwerk Says WMSR Move Is Just A Matter Of Time |
[Charles Stuart (The Snapper) - 02/07/1973] |
WMSR, radio 600, is still broadcasting out of the infirmary basement.
According to Donald Stollenwerk, director of development, the main reason for the delay was a "mutual misunderstanding" of responsibilities between the radio station and the college. When WMSR was under its own supervision, it did not fully understand the extent of its jurisdiction. Since the college has taken control of the situation, it has been involved with many different projects leaving little time for the wishes of WMSR. The radio station was still broadcasting and did not need immediate attention.
Stollenwerk and Donald Hudak, head engineer at WMSR, agreed all plans have been approved and progress should soon be made. Hudak expressed hope that work on the SMC facilities should be started before the end of this semester and be completed by September. Problems have existed between WMSR and the college, WMSR was dissatisfied by the amount of time the college required to move its facilities into SMC. It was mutually understood that since the radio station was broadcasting, this was not a problem of immediate concern.
What still has to be done? The area in the SMC available for the radio station consists of two rooms, however, WMSR needs eight. Plans were approved that would provide for the installation of partitions, doors, ceiling, soundproofing, and air conditioning. Bids have yet to be made as to who will do this. The funding of the move is still under consideration. They must decide whether or not this will be covered by the college or Student Services.
Stollenwerk said plans for organization will begin by the middle of this month and it should just be a matter of time before the move is complete.
