Baker, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/375 The WSCB radio station began in 1951 as a small, home made, AM station in Alumni Hall. It then moved to the old student union building but folded in 1955 because of technical problems. However, in 1959, the college was granted permission by the Federal Communications Commission to build a licensed, ten watt Educational FM transmitter and control panel. The studio has grown since 1959. The radio station provides a means of communication between the students of the college community, and the greater Springfield metropolitan area. There is a program department, news department, sports department, engineering department, business department, and secretarial department for opportunities to work. A note is attached to the case of the tape and the handwriting on the note are "Eliott Baker '74 Radio Show WSCB Tape 1 - needs repair": Tape was repaired for digitization, but not put back into a fully functional cassette;
