-. 9 :- COLLEGE OF PACIFIC’S KCVN MARKS YEAR OF PROGRESS-FIRST ANNIVERSARY From a small room in the Conservatory for a classroom and studio, to a >100,000 FM station--that 1 s the history of KCVN, the College of the Pacific station in Stockton, California. KCVN recently celebrated its first anniversary with the completion of "Studio A” in the campus radio building. The poly-cylindrical studio represents the latest in design for accoustical control. Special tribute was paid to the man largely responsible for the high standing of KCVN, Radio Director John C. Crabbo. Before the war Crabbe organized tho first major curriculum in radio broadcasting in the Nest at the College of the Pacific. During the war, while serving in the Navy, he dreamed and planned Pacific 1 s own broadcasting station. Now the station is complete, and more than 170 students are enrolled in the various radio classes. The station is the most modern and complete broadcast plant in the Stockton area, and the best; at any educational institution in the Nest, in Crabbe’s opinion. The station, operating at 91.3 megacycles on the FM band with an effective power of 3400 watts, was the second in California to bo licensed to a college for non¬ commercial broadcasting. KCVN, on the air daily from 6 to 10 p,m., has a unique mobile unit to make possible recording or short-wave broadcasting of programs at great distances. Listeners hear programs from Lake Tahoe Philosophy Institute and the Pacific Marino Station at Dillon Beach, site of Pacific’s Marine Biology Station.
