KCSC's tower of power dream nears fruition By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer

CSC's decade-long dream of a taller broadcast tower in Oklahoma City is a little closer to coming true thanks to a $50,000 grant from the Sarkeys Foundation. "This is the single largest grant given to this project," said Bradford Ferguson, general manager KCSC. An additional $20,000 is needed to finish the project before the end of March 1997. Ferguson said the large items like the tower itself and the transmitter already have purchase orders. "This is a half a million dollar project and to be only 20 thousand dollars away does not cause me to worry," he said. Ferguson said many requests for grant money have been sent out and sometime during the spring semester the radio station plans to have a fund drive to help with the last of the money. KCSC has been on campus for the past 28 years and is the only 24-hour classical station in the Oklahoma City area. At the present time the station has approximately 40 thousand listeners. Ferguson said at times the signal is interrupted but with the new bigger tower that won't be a problem. "When this tower is completed we will be able to reach 75 thousand more people than we do now with the signal going 70 miles in all directions." 4
CVmond resident Pete Goad uses a metal detector Monday to search for lost treasures in the ground at Wantland Stadium. Goad said he has found pocketknives, rings, wristwatches and coins with his metal detector in the past ten years. "I do it for the excercise," he said. The meter on his chest (inset) tells Goad what is under the ground by measuring the density of the metal. He then uses a screwdriver to dig out the treasure. The most valuable object Goad said he has uncovered is a coin dated 1843. (Staff photos by John Clanton)
