Jockey Larry Patsch readies another classical platter. WU I4 Celebrates Second Year Two years on the air brought radio station WOAK to new stature and pres- tige in the school as well as the commu- nity. From its humble beginning in a make- shift studio, nothing more than a closet, they have advanced to their new studio with two large control rooms and plenty of space to expand. WOAK now has hook-ups in every part of Dondero as well as the pool and stadium at Kimball. In addition their re- mote lines connect with city hall, where each Monday night students broadcast the proceedings of the Royal Oak City Com- mission meetings. Their programing consists of sporting events from both the high schools, music programs and children s programs and Spanish and French lessons, which grade school teachers use to aid in the teaching of foreign language. Am Y This is WOAK, 89.3 megacycles on your FM dial. Behind the scenes, or the microphone in this case, Mark Shaberman works the tape recorder and Dave Baker the controls. Two DJ's on one program is an unusual occurence, but WOAK's Jim Kipp and Peter Kelber produce a show of this kind during the noon hour. The show, featuring rock and roll, is very popular with students in the cafeteria. 25
