FCC Grants WVCR Permit
At approximately 6:30 p.m. last Friday night, Fr. Norbert F. Lehr, OFM, WVCR moderator, received a telegram from the Federal Com¬ munications Commission in Wash¬ ington, D.C. The telegram informed him that Siena's application for a construction permit for a Class D, non-commercial educational FM sta¬ tion had been granted. A new era in Siena radio had begun.
The plans for the FM station began over a year ago. However, it was not until this summer that the wheels began to turn. Working with Mr. Richard O'Connor, con¬ sulting engineer of WVCR-FM, Fr. Norbert gathered the necessary documents and data for the FM ap¬ plication. They were mailed to the FCC on September 12.
At 12:30 p.m. on May 8, 1960 the Voice of Collegiate Radio was first heard on the Siena campus. Since that date WVCR has steadily moved forward. Through the few years of its existence the Siena radio sta¬ tion has grown to a mature opera¬ tion. However, it remained to be a campus radio station operating on carrier current.
These are the surface facts of WVCR's story. But behind these facts lies the long hours of dedicated labor on the part of the pioneers of Siena's radio station. Fr. Kenan Foley, OFM, former Siena professor, was the first moderator of the yoimg station. The three pioneers, through whose efforts the station became a reality, Gabe Gustafson, Ed Kulesa, and Harry Klein, are still with the
station, although now mostly in an advisory capacity. These students are now all seniors and when they leave Siena they will have left something of themselves behind.
In the Fall of 1961 Fr. Norbert F. Lehr, OFM, was appointed moder¬ ator, succeeding Fr. Ernest O'Don¬ nell, OFM. In January 1962, Peter Curtin was appointed Station Man¬ ager, the post he now holds.
After receiving the telegram Fr. Norbeit expressed his thanks to the staff, especiaUy those who had worked hard toward this end. "WVCR is an excellent example of v/hat the students of Siena can ac¬ complish," he said. Pete Curtin also expressed his thanks and invited anyone interested in radio, especial¬ ly the technical aspects, to join the ever-growing WVCR staff. R.B.B.
