New Improvements for WALF Radio

Recently, President Charles Edmondson and Vice President for Student Affairs Kathy Woughter gave WALF approval to replace the wiring and old equipment in the station.
According to station manager Tom Fleming the main problem with the wiring, other than being old, is the fact that exposed wires cause “an audible hum when listening to WALF.”
“The wiring is probably about 15 years old [and] is not properly shielded,” said Fleming.
With the new improvements, Fleming says that, “we will know where all the wiring goes, sound quality should improve and the overall infrastructure of the station will be simplified.”
The project should be completed by the time we return to school in January and should cost under $10,000. The money will not come out of the student budget or any club budget.
“The money is being dealt with on a case-by-case basis with Kathy Woughter,” Fleming said.
A Student Senate special allocation could not be used due to of the magnitude of the project.
“We needed more than special allocations could possibly offer. In order to get approval for such a project, Kathy had to pass our proposal up to Charley,” Fleming said.
