WNDR Comes Back From Dead
By Denise Reinas
After months of planning and
months of hard work, WNDR, 63 AM,
is finally being broadcasted live on-the
air. WNDR, the student run radio
station, began broadcasting on Monday,
August 31st throughout the Olmsted
Building. The elected officers of WNDR
hope
. that the station will be
broadcasting throughout the residence
halls by the third week in September but
that depends on how soon the technical
difficulties with the transmitter are
dissolved. As far as transmission to the
Meade Heights area, Luke Hess, station
manager, said, "The electrical system at
Meade- Heights is causing some
interference with transmission, so to get
around that, we are looking at the
possibility of FM transmitting to the
Heights through a cable system." Hess
has no idea of when this might happen
because the process would involve not
only WNDR but the school
administration also.
The process of reviving WNDR
began in the fall of 1986. Great student
interest was readily apparent but new
equipment and funding for the equipment
was badly needed. WNDR received
$3,500 from the student government
association, $l,OOO from Penn State
Harrisburg's enhancement funds from
student affairs, approximately $3,000 in
a grant from University Park, and
approximately $7,000 in a loan from
University Park.. The money went
towards new equipment for the station
and the installation of the equipment.
The radio station also received a standard
operating, budget fo r the daily running of
the station.
The elected officers of WNDR
are Luke Hess, station manager; Robert
Derk, assistant station manager; John
Bucanelli, program director; Jon
Geissler, business manger; Steve
Potosnak, music director; Mark Coldren,
personnel director; Michele Hart, news
director; and Roy Kroner, chief engineer.
The appointed positions consist of
Debby Kanuck, secretary and Denise
Capital Times
Evans, accountant.
"This organization requires
many students to get involved," said
Hess. "I ask everyone to please have a
little patience;, we are doing all we can.
There is a lot of work involved in the
whole thing."
