Presently in the process of recording preliminary sound effects and rehearsing Williams and four other USC students mane up tne cast 01 me noiy Lucifer," an original script written by Williams and a story he prefers to remain a secret for now. German exchange student Wolfgang Karg, graduate students Peter Suk and Aviva Kramer and an unidentified "pretty elusive guy," according to Williams, round out the supporting team. "It's not something you would hear on everyday radio," WUSC graduate assistant Kendra Stewart said. "Ifs a little twist on our programming, and a chance to give our listeners something new to hear besides just music." According to Stewart, Williams srimnlv Mmc t.n WTISC and nreaented r \ 83 IEEDED!

"I did something similar two years ago at the local station WOIC-AM," Williams said. "I got a partial grant from the Richland/Lexington Cultural Council to write and produce a drama series." The result was 13 weeks of aired, original scripts by Williams with a new show every week. Williams is hoping "The Holy Lucifer" will make its 30-minute debut in a couple of weeks. "It's going slow because it takes a lot of work finding sound effects and >t a plan.Call 'Wc%5. m + M?nday' N?ve| HING C ; shells and steel she scheduling times for rehearsal," Williams said. "Participation is dragging right now, but if s still a relatively new idea." If all goes well, Williams said he has a total of 15 scripts, all with the potential of airing depending on the amount of interest. "If there's not much feedback, it might just drop after five or six shows," Williams said. "I believe the actors and actresses who haven't participated yet, though, will hear the first show and know it's first-rate and be eager to get involved. We are competing with the local community theatre and USCs drama department, plus we don't have a name or reputation yet." The intial reaction,however, has been one of genuine excitement. There was a lot of enthusiasm out of our staff and executive board when he first presented the idea to us," Stewart said "I think if s great. It's neat to have other students from the theatre rlartor^f m onf mnoi/* ^an<a>*+manf biuciii* aiiu xxxuoiv u^^ai uxxxpxxu get involved with radio." For Karg as well, who is serving as the producer, the experience is enhancing his two-month stay at the university. "It's a new experience for me because, while I've studied journalism and worked free-lance for German radio and TV before, it was mainly news, so this is a new challenge," Karg said. The production will not cost the radio station anything extra to support, and everyone involved is doing it for free.
