In Febuary 1968, students from a Speech 219 broadcasted from the Peltier building over telephone wires to the student union as FNSC. The call letters stood for Nicholls State College, which was the name of the institution at the time. The actual campus radio station went on the air on Feb 19, 1972 as KVFG-FM, named after Nicholls president Vernon F. KVFG became the third FCC-authorized college radio station to broadcast on open airwaves in Louisiana, beating out a similar station at LSUNO by a just a few hours. In early April of that year, the station added a United Press International news wire. The station was renamed to KNSU in Jan 23, 1985 after the Louisiana Coast Guard agreed to give up the call letters. The station was relocated to Talbot hall in 1990. KNSU concentrated on news and music with offerings that changed with the trends and musical tastes of the time. In the late 1980s, the station adopted nicknames such as "Banana" and "The Edge." The station has been managed and financed by students since its founding. Students have consistently been the announcers, interviewers, and disc jockeys.

The football is finally free! This football has been on this porch roof for a long time, and seeing it on this bench today sparked so many questions. If you have answers for any questions, leave us a comment!

How long has it been on the roof? Who's football is this? How did it get there? Did it get picked up by the wind and fall onto the bench? How many library employees sat in this office before me and saw this football? What will happen to the football now? How many of you heard that bad weather last night? Would this make a good research paper?

Legendary Musician Clarence "Frogman" Henry has left us. He was a close personal friend to me and my family since I was little. He invited me onto stage many times in different cities introducing me as his brother (which confused the audience).

Every time I would visit him at his home he would light up despite his declining health. Years ago I started to do oral history documentaries on musicians and I wanted to make "Frogman" my first.

Love you "Frogman" and will miss you dearly.
