Radio Hall
Image
Visitor's lounge of Radio Hall, the campus home of state stations WHA and WHA-FM, on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. The room is decorated in a Southwest motif, and the petroglyphs in the frieze along the top of the right wall are reproductions of originals made on cave walls by prehistoric Indians in Wisconsin. The weavings are genuine Navaho creations from the Southwest. A window on the left is marked with a sign, "Studio A," and in the right wall is another window labeled with the sign, "Studio C."
