P.A. System Gives Rise to Delco “Radio Station”
With the resumption of
Winter Term in January came a
new sound to the student
modules at Delco. The sound
was and is the new Delco
“Radio Broadcast’ Program.
“Radio Broadcast’’ is in quotes
because the program does not
broadcast on any frequency like
typical radio stations, but is
transmitted over the Public Ad-
dress system of the mod.
Therefore a broadcasting
license is not required. The
“radio station’ at Delco was
the idea and creation of Steffi
- Stern, a Journalism major with
a minor in Mass Communica-
tions. ‘‘Star’’, as Steffi calls
herself on the air, originally"
broadcast over the U.S.A:
joke this past fall when she
discovered how to properly run
the equipment. When Mark
Huber took over the U.S.A.
Presidency upon the resigna-
tion of Dean Ashenfelter in
January, ‘Star’ decided to
make the broadcast program of-
ficial. She accomplished that by
drawing up a tentative program
format which was approved by
Dean Linder. Next she enlisted
the aid of Mr. Steve Sciscione, a
new Career Development
Counselor at Delco, who
became the Advisor to the pro-
gram. The program is not a
separate club and is currently
an extension of U.S.A.
Steffi explained part of the
reasoning behind the creation
of the ‘radio station” as a
Public Address System as a

desire to keep students inform-
ed as to what is happening on
campus. For instance Steffi
declared that in her opinion
many people are half-blind and
half-illiterate. When asked to
explain what she meant she
clarified her statement by say-
ing that students don’t read the
posters on the walls or the
newsletters put out by the cam-
pus. On the other hand many
students congregate in the
mods to talk, eat, and to just
pass the time. Therefore when
she broadcasts over the Public
Address System she knows
that at least some students will
hear the campus news if they
won't read it. ‘‘Star’ concen-
trates mostly on upcoming con-
certs and different club news.
By no means is everything
running as smoothly as Steffi
would like. About a week ago
the mixer, a piece of equipment
which enables the announcer to
speak while he is playing music,
broke down. As a consequence
it was no longer possible to play
- records over the system. As of
this writing the mixer is still
broken. The music being heard
now is either the radio or
cassette tapes. The selection of
. music played is determined by
a sign-up sheet located in the
U.S.A. office. At first one
album was played once in the
morning and once in the after-
noon. However it came to Stef-
fis’ attention that the people
who heard the album in the
afternoon were the same ones
who had heard it in the morn-
ing. Now one album is played in .
the morning and another one in
the afternoon. If anyone is in-
terested in hearing their
favorite record or tape they
need only bring it in for the day
they had signed-up for on the
sheet in the U.S.A. office.
There have been complaints
from some students that they
cannot study during the broad-
cast. Admittedly the music
tends to be louder during the
broadcast than at other times.
One would like to remind those
students that the library and
lounge in the main building are
available for such purposes. A
definite problem with the sound
system that existed before the
radio program is that of poor
speaker . alignment. Currently
the two speakers in the mod are
directly opposite each other at
one end of the room. As a result
that section of the room gets
blasted away while the other
part of the room can hear the
music comfortably. The other
alternative is to play the music
at a moderate level in the
“speaker section’ in which
event the other end of the room
can’t hear the music. Hopefully
the speaker arrangement will be
altered to afford the optimal
sound and noise level for the en-
tire mod.
Steffi has mentioned that she
would like to cut back on the
amount of dead air, or no sound,
between broadcasts. To do so
requires a quick maneuvering
of the dials on the stereo.
Therefore anyone interested in
learning to broadcast must
have some experience or
knowledge of stereo equipment.
Steffi said ‘‘I went into this not
knowing a damn thing and the
more I work with the equip-
ment the more I learn and the
more it pays off.” Aside from
Steffi two others, Adam Gray
and Amy Epstein, are acting as
announcers for the new Delco
program.
Since the Delco ‘‘Radio Sta-
tion’ is not a club there is little
or no money available for im-
provement, and participation is
limited to those who are cur-
rently announcing. Possibly for
Spring Term there will be more
people trained to work the
equipment. Steffi mentioned
that she would be glad to teach
anyone interested what she
knows about broadcasting.
Presently she is applying for a
permit to work at a live radio
station on the air. Who knows,
perhaps this is the beginning of
a new club at Delco for anyone
interested in Mass Communica-
tions. 2
