V W T* T WUbL e studio < By Sharon Buchanan Gam?cock St?H Writer WUSC-FM has been e> periencing difficulties with propc soundproofing and coolin facilities since the completion < their new studio, Ron Marsl station manager, said.

Peter Stiehr, manager < building and equipment mail tenance, said a low temperatui cannot be maintained at WUS because of an old pump. "BASICALLY, chilled water f< east campus comes from the eai energy plant located near Gan brell Hall. It provides 45-degrc water for about 21 buildings in thj particular loop," Stiehr said. " there is an unusual load (such t an extra building to cool) tr temperature may climb," h added. Before the renovation of the we) wing of Russell House, WUS received heating and cooling froi an independent source, accordii to Stiehr. The pump in Russe House was adequate for this closc system and independent chillir source, he said. Stiehr said with renovations c the third floor of Russell House, tl pump used in the closed system now connected with the ea energy plant. "We are now having problen with that pump getting enoug chilled water from the east energ plant, Stiehr said. "With the a< dition of the new studio, th demands exceed what the pun can provide." "WE REALIZED this some tirr ago, and in June we ordered a ne pump which we expect at ar time," Stiehr said.

A brick wall, which is also not it soundproofed, has not been fixed, te he said. 31 "I relied on somebody's ex> pertise who said a brick wall is a 3. good attenuator. Obviously this is ie not true, because noise is seeping h in," Clemmensen said. IS Herbert Brinson, manager of )f renovations, said he has not received complaints from anyone )f involved with WUSC about the n- sound problem. e c BRINSON SAID he did not tell Clemmensen that the brick wall was good for soundproofing, but he )r could see the reasoning behind st such a statement. u- "A brick wall is better for soundproofing than a plaster wall, jt but noise travels much faster. I If can see where somebody might say is brick is good for soundproofing, ie though," Brinson said. ie Ed Bass, manager of campus planning, said much of the unst wanted sound at WUSC seems to ? come up through the floor from the m Russell House Gameroom. fig "When the work at WUSC was ill completed, I noticed sound coming xi up from the floor," Bass said. "I ig suggested to Jon Clemmensen that the corner speakers in the )n gameroom be moved, disconie nected or turned down to a lower is volume to alleviate WUSC's st problem," he said.
