Radio Broadcasting Stations

The stations vary from small experi-
mental plants constructed by mein-
bers of the engineering departments
of the schools, to powerful ready-
made, long range, broadcasting appa-
ratus. Extension lectures, concerts,
readings. market and weather reports,
and many other types of program are
being transmitted from these stations
daily.
Trhe most recent to come into the
field of college broadcasting is Sta-
tion WCBC here at the University.
While comparatively small in size
and built primarily as laboratoryi
equipment, the plant has reached the
most distant states in the Union in
chester (N. Y.) transmits weather re-
ports and concerts daily, and on Sun-
day an afternoon church service.
Among other institutions with regis-
tered wireless telephone transmitting
plants are the Universities of Pennsyl-
vania, Cornell, Cincinnati, Oregon,
Washington, Colorado, North and
South Dakota, Arizona, Louisiana, Le-
land Stanford, Jr., Ollahoma. Texas,
and Vermont.
Officials of many of these stations
say that they have found in the radio
the ideal way to get in touch with
their alumni and with people inter-
ested in their athletic contests and
other big functions. By the volume
and distribution of the answers they1
have received from listeners-in, they
have been able to find out that s~uch
programs as they broadcast are ac-
tually needed and enjoyed not only
by their immediate communities but
sometimes even in far removed places.
