RADIO ANNOUNCER: "At this time radio station WUSC begins broadcasting activities for the (lay. . . ." Thus begins a student radio an.iouncer over the University of South Carolina's radio station WUSC, "The Voice of the Caro lina Campus." Radio station WUSC is student owned and is operated by the Carolina Broadcasting Corpora tion. WUSC is a member of the Intercollegiate Broadcasting Sys tem and it operates on a frequency of 640 kilocycles with carrier current transmission. Radio sta tion WUSC studios and trans mitter are located on the third floor of Rutledge College on the university campus. Ad Lib However, after the above intro ductory statement to the effect that WUSC is ON THE AIR, and after the use of a couple of United Press news releases, the student radio announcers are on their own. It's ad lib from then on! The primary aims of radio sta tion WUSC, William Hay, WUSC manager, said, are to train stu dents for future careers in radio, and its allied fields. Many success ful careers have materialized from a student's work with WUSC dur ing his spare time, William Hay said. Also, he continued, WUSC tries to provide entertainment as well as informative programs for ~~tudents of the university. The only prerequisites for becoming a staff member of WUSC are in terest and enthusiasm, he said. A variety of shows are broad east over WUSC, including such ............ .. ..........m... Is.

Especially popular among Carolina students are the late shows, playing the hits in popular imusic, and the nightly and Sunday morning concerts, playing outstanding recordings in the classics. One interesting program which is relayed from WUSC-FM is en titled, "Religion at the News Desk." Otherwise WUSC-FM has no connection with radio station WUSC. Station Radius 'The radius of WUSC is sup posed to be limited to the confines of the university campus. "The theory behind it," William Hay said, "is that we're not supposed to be heard off campus, but the practicality of this sometimes varies from the theory." Radio station WUSC is on the air from 2 p.m. to 12 p.m. every day during the week, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Sunday and from 12 midnight until 2 a.m. every Saturday night. Program Records The records which are used by radio station WJSC are obtained from several sources. Records are bought from such top notch record ing corporations as Capitol Rec ordls, Columbia, RCA and Capitol classics. The Columbia and RCA pop)ular records are purchased by the radio station, while records from Capitol (popular only) are free. Capitol classics are pur chased by WUSC.
