A 12-year-old dream came true at Cedarville College on Thursday,April 5, 1990. History was made on the third floor of Collins Hall when the transmit- ter was turned on at WSRN. The Student Radio Network had finally arrived. It seemed like an eternity for the broadcasting students and student body as they pa- tiently waited for the first broadcast. The department heads had been working on the station since Fall Quarter preparing programs and commercials and training the staff. The students knew that the station would soon be on the air, but the question was, "When?" This time of waiting seemed trivial compared to the time it actually took to get WSRN on the air. Mr. Leightenheimer, the faculty advisor, spent many hours directing the stu- dents and overseeing the project. 191116.. Twelve years ago, Mr. Leightenheimer (a student then), Mr. Baker (the only broadcasting professor then), and another student began praying for a station that would be run by the students. Mr. Leightenheimerjoined the faculty in 1981,and together, he and Mr. Baker began push- ing for the station. Their ef- forts increased over the past five years, and after final ap- proval from the administra- tion, the station went on the air. The purpose of WSRN is not only to provide experience for the broadcasting stu- dents, but also to edify and minister to the student body. In doing this,the station seeks to bring glory and honor to Jesus Christ. — Bobby Hile photo by Matt Biddinger Dr. Wood, Dr. Baker, and Mr. Leightenheimer look over the script as they await the first broadcast to go on the air.
