CARPENTER, KW5C STATE COLLEGE OFWASHINGTON At LARGE: CHARLES A. CULVER, KFMX CARLETON COLLEGE Ngrthfield, Minnesota TO MEMBERS of THE ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY BROADCASTING STATIONS (ard a special request mailing list in addition to members) YOU ARE AWARE, OF COURSE, THAT THE CRITICISM OFTEN HEARD, “COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY STATIONS CANNOT BE HEARD WELL" IS LARGELY TRUE.
