Senior reporter
^ The Ringling Bros, and Barnum
& Bailey Circus is coming
to Carolina Coliseum on
Wednesday, Feb. 18. The seven
performances promise five days
of excitement, glitter and fantasy
to delight ail.
"It is a variety show with exciting
colors, clowns, trapeze
artists, jugglers and animals
that, as the ringmaster says, is
for children of all ages," said
Donald Barton, advertisement
representative for the circus.
^ The 116th edition of the circus
presents a blend of interna
tional circus stars offering a
mix of traditional circus acts
and new acts never before seen
in the United States.
The acts include Americanborn
tiger trainer Wade Burck
and rare white royal Bengal and
gold Siberian tigers; the world
debut of Spain's Polo Aerial
Quartet; the trapeze artistry of
the Ramos Family Troupe;
trained elephants presented by

the Axel Gautier Family and, of
course, the traditional clowns.
The Ringling Bros, and Barnum
& Bailey circus has
presented its magical shows
since 1871. The two circuses
merged in 1919.
The Barnum & Bailey Circus
first appeared in Columbia in
1886, and the Ringling Bros,
first pitched its tent here 10
years later. The last time the
combined circuses played under
the canvas big top in the United
States was in 1954.
The circus did not return to
Columbia until 1969 because
before the coliseum opened,
there was no adequate building
to house the three-ring show,
Barton said.
Ticket prices for the shows
are $6, $7.50 and $9.50, with $2
off opening night prices.
Showtimes for the two-and-ahalf-hour
performances will be
at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and
Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday, 11
a.m., 3 and 8 p.m. Saturday
and 1:30 and 5:30 p.m. Sunday.

From staff reports
WUSC-FM will be presenting
its fifth annual "Moolah for
Music" request marathon today
and Saturday.
"Moolah for Music" is the
radio station's main fund-raiser,
and this year's goal is to raise
$10,(XX) in listener pledges.
In addition to raising money
I, -1-1
unuiiKii picuges, area mcrcnants
have donated prizes such as a
portable stereo, car stereo,
jewelry, gift certificates and free
dinners for the station to give as
prizes to encourage listeners to
call.
The request marathon will kick
off at noon today and will run
until the end of Valentine's Day
Saturday night.
"Moolah for Music" began in
1983 for WUSC-FM to increase
its limited range, 10-watt
capability to a 3000-watt broadcasting
range that covers the entire
metropolitan area of Columbia.
Since that goal was achieved,
the marathon has remained an
annual event.
Although WUSC is funded
primarily by the university, outside
revenue accounts for about
15 percent of its operating
budget. Funds raised during the
marathon make up the majority
of this revenue.

WUSC first went on the air as
an AM station in 1946, and its
signal could only be picked up in
campus buildings. Departing
from a more conservative format
in the early 1970s, the station
switched to progressive rock
programming.

to broadcast at 91.9 on the FM
dial with 10 watts of power. With
the power increase in 1983, the
station moved to 90.5 on the dial,
where it is now.
Since moving to the FM dial,
WUSC has deviated from its progressive
rock format. Now calling
itself "The Alternative," the station
plays a variety of musical
styles during the day and concentrates
on evening specialty shows.
These shows focus on individual
types of music, including blues,
metal, jazz and punk.
Station manager Pat Cox said
WUSC's listening audience
always comes through because it
knows the money is needed to
maintain its 24-hour alternative
programming format. "If wc
close, the listener will suffer."
All three of WUSC's phone
lines ? 777-7172, 3906 or 4165 ?
will be accepting pledge donations
during the "Moolah for
Music" marathon. Donations
can be brought to room 318 of
Russell House or mailed to
