RADIO STATION
BECOMES REALITY
Non-commercial FM radio has
finally become a reality on the
Mercvhurst campus. Starting in
early November WQLN Mercy-
hurst will begin broadcasting
twenty-one (hours of stereo
programming per week. The
station will be located at 91.3 MHz
on the FM dial, with an effective
radiated power of 35,000 wattsf*?

Mr. JBingnear i has! also I for-
mulated an Intersession course in
radio production. This course will
provide students who remain on
campus an opportunity to ac-.
cumulate both course credit and
extensive radio experience. Also,
students who feel pressured by
academics during the regular
'three terms can gain a working

a few weeks. There is a limit of
ten students for this course.

| Although Mercyhurst College is
in no way comparable in size
(acreage or population) to New
York City, the 'Hurst does hold
some similarities with New York.
Perhaps Ithe most obvious
comparison that can be made
between the two is the problem of
parking. Ih either place, a
parking space close to where you
want to go is a^very rare thing.
With the onslaught of winter this
situation tends to be even harder
to cope with since mounds of snow
occupy several parking spaces.
*
Other similarities probably do
exist but perhaps the one which
made itself most known this week
was our blackouts New York City,
in 1967, experienced their famous
