WHRB Renovates Studio

A crowd of 30 students and alumni were on hand yesterday for ceremonies opening WHRB's newly renovated $6000 studio, which will subsequently improve the student station's sound quality.

"Now we have state of the art equipment that gives us a sound quality as sonically pure as possible," Adam E. Saltman '83, president of WHRB, said yesterday.

"It's been the biggest new development at the station in about eight year," Saltman added. "Occasions like this are very fare because we usually get our funding from commercial ads and not donations," he said.

Robert O. Landry '79, former chief engineer for WHRB and now working in the same capacity for Boston radio station WBOS, said yesterday that the changes would give the station one of the best technical sound qualities in the area.

The 3000-watt statics runs on an annual budget of $25,000.

The bulk of the financing for the renovations came from a gift from Moses Weinman, a trustee of the station, who was at the ceremony with other alumni of the station.

During the ceremony-which includes the traditional ribbon-cutting-Weinman refused to specify the amount of his donation, but he said he gave the money in memory of his late son, Irving Weinman '46, because "he spent a lot of time here as business manager and worked hard to make the station a success."
