Radio Silence for Chemistry's Sake
WUOG, the University of Georgia’s student-run radio station, has agreed to stop weekday broadcasting from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. temporarily. Station officials say WUOG’s signal was wreaking havoc on experiments in a nearby chemistry laboratory. No one on the campus seems to know how or why WUOG’s signal suddenly started scrambling the spectroscope’s signals. But members of the radio station and the chemistry department told The Chronicle that any number of seemingly unrelated events—like, say, campus construction or even office rearrangements—could have deflected WUOG’s signal enough to interfere with the research.
After announcing that the station would curtail its broadcasting on Monday, Ms. White soon found herself inundated with e-mail messages from concerned alumni, many of whom complained that the station was being pressured by campus officials to go off the air.—Brock Read
