Mundelein's Student Con gress has pledged a maximum of . 00 for the purchase and installation of reception equip ment and transmitters on this campus.

They are Kathleen Cummins, Nancy Doll, Kathleen Flynn, Judy Innis, Molly Mention and Janet Sass.

The organization and pro graming of the radio station results from a long process of studying radio stations by Skip- ton, Minarich and Machnow- ski. After checking FCC specifi cations and visiting local ra dio stations, they appeared be fore the Loyola Student Gov ernment Association as a sub committee of the public rela tions committee. Receiving en couragement, they began so liciting advertising and suc ceeded in gaining subscribers to almost 500 worth of adver tising. Radio station WCFL also donated more than 6,000 worth of equipment. Last week, after the MSC pledged financial assistance and LSGA also pledged a loan of 1,000, the plan for a radio station went before the Com mittee on Student Activities and Welfare at Loyola. This administrative committee ap proved a 2,000 school loan, with the stipulation that the CSAW committee be presented with the final code of proce dure. The principle idea behind the radio station is that a school newspaper alone is not suffi cient as a medium of commun ication. Both schools see in this station an opportunity to strengthen Mundelein - Loyola relations and the student gov ernments of each. Any Munde lein students interested in serv ing with the station should con tact Judy Innis.
