THE MICHIGAN DAILY
STUDENT-OWNED:
WCIJN Broadcasts to Dormittories
ENERS-Even in chilly weather, a speaker with something to say can find an audience which
isten. Some of them may be amused, some skeptical, and some downright bored, but there are
ys those few, who listen and understand, that make the art of communication worth something
all.

"You're tuned to the finest in
college radio . . . WCBN."
That familiar station break is1
heard regularly on Ann Arbor's
most unique radio station, WCBN,
which is completely owned and
operated by University students.
The station has three studios,
one in each of the men's quad-
rangles, and also broadcasts to
women's dorms: Mark Markley,
Victor Vaughan, Couzens, Alice
Lloyd, Mosher, Jordan and Stock-
well halls.
WCBN's staff of nearly 150 per-
sons is made up of both men and
women students, many of whom
are freshmen. This fall, the sta-
tion again will be seeking dozens
of interested students to serve as
announcers, engineerstadvertising
salesmen and copy writers.
Set Auditions
According to Program Director
J-P Stadius, '63, announcing audi-
tions will be held in the South
Quadrangle studios during orien-
tation and registration.
Persons interestedin advertis-
ing sales or copy writing should
see Business Manager Leonard
Wiener, '62, in either the South
Quadrangle studio, or the general
office in the Student Activities
Building. Persons interested in en-
gineering can apply at any studio.
As the only area station with
programs aimed at college stu-
dents, "we feel we can best pro-
vide University residents with the
type of programming they want
to hear at the time they want to
hear it," Jack Huizenga, '61,
WCBN general manager, said.
WCBN broadcasts at 650 kilo-
cycles-for 24 hours each day, of-
fering news, sports and musical
programs from pop hits to jazz to

events includes broadcasts of all
Michigan football games; all home

Through agreements with De-
troit commercial stations, WCBN
presents the World Series, speeches
of national significance and an
all-night music program. All pro-
grams broadcast by the University
FM station, WUOM, are also
available to WCBN.
National wire services supply the
station with state, national and
world news, and local sources pro-
vide complete campus and Ann
Arbor coverage. News Directo
rSteve Stockmeyer, 63 has an-
nounced plans to give complete
coverage to the important cam-
