WSRN 91.5 FM

CLICK IMAGE to start stream

The “Worldwide Swarthmore Radio Network” is Swarthmore College’s official campus radio station. It broadcasts out of the suburban Philadelphia borough of Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.

Prior to the 1970s, WSRN operated as a carrier signal broadcast to the campus of Swarthmore College only. The station went on the air with 10 watts on October 15, 1972.  Following efforts by the Federal Communications Commission to encourage as many Class D stations as possible to increase power, a campaign was raised by the students of the college, and in the late 1970s, the FCC granted a license for a 110-watt, directional, transmission.

Programming has been eclectic from the 1970s on. Station programming is diverse; music spans “world,” hip hop, blues, folk, rock, pop, R & B, and classical. Talk and comedy programs comprise much of the weekend line-up. Notably “Funk” which ran from fall 2012 to spring 2014 Friday mornings from midnight to 2AM.

In 1986, the main on-air studio was completely refurbished, with a new control panel, turntables, microphones, and wiring installed. 1998 saw the rewiring and modernization of the production studio and the construction of an acoustically isolated sound studio connected to the production studio.

Students have always manned the soundboard, and so, during most summers, the station is dark.  Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the radio station had periods of limited broadcasting. During the 2021-2022 academic year, a significant effort by students, faculty, staff, and community members was successfully carried out to get the station back up to an operational state. As of April 1, 2022, the station has resumed broadcasting.

Shoe Fly Pie

Standards Pennsylvania

Shoo Fly Pie is a type of American pie made with molasses associated with Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine. While shoo-fly pie has been a staple of Moravian, Mennonite, and Amish foodways, there is scant evidence concerning its origins, and most of the folktales concerning the pie are apocryphal, including the persistent legend that the name comes from flies being attracted to the sweet filling.

Equestrian competitions are governed by a variety of standards and regulations that ensure fairness, safety, and consistency. Here are some of the key standards that apply to different types of equestrian competition:

General Standards

  1. Equine Welfare: Ensuring the health and well-being of horses is a priority. This includes regular veterinary checks, proper nutrition, and humane treatment.
  2. Safety: Regulations are in place to protect both riders and horses. This includes wearing appropriate safety gear, such as helmets and body protectors.
  3. Fair Competition: Rules are established to ensure fair play, including regulations about equipment, attire, and conduct.

Dressage

  1. Test Protocols: Riders perform predefined movements and patterns. The tests are scored based on accuracy, smoothness, and the horse’s response.
  2. Judging Criteria: Judges assess the horse’s gaits, submission, and overall harmony between horse and rider.
  3. Scoring System: A numerical scoring system is used, with each movement receiving a score that contributes to the overall total.

Show Jumping

  1. Course Design: Courses are designed with a specific number and type of jumps, including verticals, spreads, and combinations.
  2. Time and Faults: Riders are judged on their ability to complete the course without knocking down rails (faults) and within the allotted time.
  3. Penalty System: Points are deducted for faults, such as refusals, knockdowns, or exceeding time limits.

Eventing

  1. Three Phases: Eventing includes dressage, cross-country, and show jumping. Each phase is scored separately, and the cumulative score determines the overall standings.
  2. Cross-Country: Riders must navigate a course with natural obstacles and fences, with penalties for refusals or exceeding the time limit.
  3. Safety and Endurance: Emphasis is placed on the horse’s fitness and the rider’s ability to manage both speed and stamina.

Driving

  1. Turnout Standards: Horses and carriages must meet specific standards for appearance and condition.
  2. Dressage Phase: Similar to dressage in riding, this phase includes a test of precision and obedience.
  3. Marathon Phase: This phase involves navigating a course with obstacles, testing endurance and driving skill.
  4. Cones Phase: Drivers must maneuver through a series of cones without knocking them over, demonstrating accuracy and control.

Western Riding

  1. Reining: Riders perform a pattern of circles, spins, and stops, judged on smoothness, precision, and control.
  2. Cutting: The rider must separate a cow from a herd and work it independently within a set time, demonstrating the horse’s responsiveness and agility.
  3. Roping: Includes events like team roping and calf roping, where riders demonstrate their roping skills and coordination with the horse.

Endurance

  1. Distance and Terrain: Races cover long distances over varied terrain, requiring both horse and rider to demonstrate stamina and navigational skills.
  2. Vet Checks: Regular veterinary inspections ensure the horse’s health throughout the event.
  3. Pace and Recovery: Riders must manage their horse’s pace and recovery times to complete the course successfully.
