WBS, Wellesley College's radio station, was forced off the air yesterday by the Federal Communications Commission because of excess radiation, a problem which is also troubling WHRB.
The FCC compelled WBS to shut down because excess radiation from their coaxial cable to the dormitories interfered with commercial radio stations in the Wellesley area. WBS had hoped to delay this suspension until Christmas, but was forced to respond immediately to the FCC ultimatum.
Carolyn L. Reece '56, President of WBS, stressed that "The move is only temporary. As soon as the college can raise from $6,000 to $20,000 to meet the FCC requirements, we will resume operations."
Smith College's radio station has been off the air for two months, due to a similar FCC ruling.
