WUSC set t to 3,000 w By Glenn Burkins wu?><J s power increase means more than being heard by a larger audience: it means increased responsibility. WUSC is scheduled to increase its power from 10 watts to 3,000 watts Friday. Along with this change, its frequency will switch from 91.9 to 90.5 FM. The increase will boost the reception of the station from a threemile radius to 40 miles, according to Marc Fink, station manager. The power increase will mean changes for the station. . "We'll have to be more professional because we'll be reaching mnrp 0 V people now. The staff will need more training also." ^ The station will hold several six-week workshops to make the staff more aware of the station's technical operations, Federal Communications Commissions regulations and station policy. The workshops will be held once a semester and during the summer. THE STATION directors may have to be more selective in choosing their staff in the future, but for now they will keep the same staff ITinlr coirl All ft.ll ? -4 > A ?, ?. ><u> ouiu. mi iuii-Liiue siuuenui are eligible to work at WUSC, Fink said, but because of the increase, there may be more people who want to be on the air.

The station will continue to play altei native music, Frankel said. She said WUS cannot compete with commercial statior because it is state-supported. "WE LEAVE.
