The office is quiet, except for
assorted caterwauling from the
control room, where a Night Owl
is being taped, and a violent argu
ment issuing from what should
be main control, but has rnot been
in operation for several years, be
tween IIoward Bloom, chief engi
neer, and Hunter Farris, a mem
ber of the staff, who states sim
ply, mechanically, and with the
emphasis of one who has been
saying it twenty times a (lay for
the last two semestern, "It can't
be done."
This statement is the challenge
that has kept the station going,
bloody but unbowed, for the last
five years or so. The twenty-odd
p.ople who have made the little
cubbyholes behind the ordinary
door with the superscription,
"W. U. S. C.-RADIO STATION"
their home away from class for
most of their college career have
an affection for and dedication to
WUSC that rivals that of the
patriotic American to flag, the
spirit of '76, and mother.
Across the hall, in the news
room, the teletype chatters mer
rily away, providing the station
and the Carolina campus with a
link to the outside world. The
night of the Cuban rebel invasion
last year, some member of the
staff was over there on duty at
all times, usually surrounded by
several anxious, tense faces from
both the radio and "Gamecock"
staffs. WUSC had bulletins on the
air momentarily, and some of the
early confused releases were pro
grammed before a blanket of dis
creet diplomacy descended on the
