Quite a bit of attention is being paid to the j i r* /"vi* fx ?_ WUSC: student-run rs Alternative ft By JULIE STUEMPFIG Staff writer USC's student-run radio station WUSC-FM isn't different from every other station in the area by accident ? it's purely intentional. WUSC, located at 90.5 FM on the radio dial, is an alternative station. In other words, the music played on WUSC can't be heard on other area radio stations, said WUSC Music Director Seana Baruth. WUSC has had an alternative format since the late 1970s, when the station's power was increased to 3,000 watts. Baruth said that, as she understands it, the format was changed partly because the power boost almost made WUSC competitive with other area stations. Because the campus station is not commercial, had it played the same type of music other stations played, those stations might have lost many of their listeners. College stations also have a tradition of playing alternative music, Baruth said. "There are different levels of alternative music," she said. "Some alternative borders on commercial, but WUSC is an educational station. Our staple is new bands with debut records, independent labels and obscure major-label bands." Sometimes listeners will hear songs by wellknown groups, but they are not supposed to be the songs that have appeared on Music Television, popular songs or those played on other local stations. "We're avoiding sounding the same all of the time," Baruth said. "We hope that by exposing new bands continually, people who listen will walk away with something new and different. I'm not saying they'll love everything they hear, but with attentive listening, I think almost anyone can find and enjoy really creative things they never knew existed." WUSC offers three-hour special-interest shows most weekdays. These include experimental music such as Massive Metal Monday nights; blues and the Almost Acoustic folk program Tuesday nights; Blast from the Past, featuring oldies, and a hardcore show called roles in Radio Waves, or The Day I Said Uterus o ng class.

There are about 35 WUSC staff members on the air and about 70 DJs in training. Music is played from 9 a.m. to midnight daily. Any student, staff or faculty member may become a DJ by agreeing to conform to the station's policies and passing the required tests after a training period. The station conducts training sessions at the beginning of both the fall and spring semesters and also has a summer session.

"I know that neonle are more comfortable listening to music they know and can sing along with and that a new style can be unsettling," she said. "But I hope people will not automatically tune out when they hear new music." She also said she hopes that those who stereotype the people who work at the station because of clothing and hairstyles will move beyond prejudice and be more open-minded about the music played.
