Spring fever hits before spring break Nothing like a bunch of bathing beauties to brighten up a day! The spritig weather always seems to bring out the best in people, and from one end of campus to the other, sunshine and smiles tell the story. (Photos by Robert House) PRIDE one million dollar mark Volume III, Number 11 Elon College, North Carolina March 24.1977 Elon radio will begin broadcasting April 20 by Doug Durante After years of waiting and surviving numerous setbacks, the Communications Media Board has announced that the Elon College radio station has received Federal approval and will begin broadcasting on April 20 under the call letters WSOE at 89.3 on the FM diaL 'Rie station will be classified as FM Educational which will require 15 hours of educational broadcasting per week. The offices and studio virill be located in Harper Center, and engineers and technicians are currently installing equipment The three-year inventory of albums, singles and tapes is being classified and arranged for use. The turntables and control board are the best and most modern available, according to Station Manager Bill Zint and they are planning a broadcasting radius of 10 miles. Zint believes the educational format will vary because the FCC does not clearly define what constitutes educational material, allowing WSOE to present different types of material that will be of interest to the students and the community. "Having a radio station is educational in itself,” says Zint, "and we think we will be able to present beneficial programs.” The station staff members feel they will be able to offer an attractive format that will include all types of music as well as editorials, student viewpoints and announcements. WSOE will have an Associat^ Press wire system which wrill provide an efficient news source and they will also try to concentrate on college and local news of particular interest to the listening public.
