In protest of the WUSC 90.5 FNTs
music policy, two disc jockey's locked
themselves in the broadcast studio
Sept. 6.
After knowingly breaking the
WUSC music policy, Kyle Crisci and
Jake Allen were escorted out of the
i. 1_* 1 T 1 P 1_1_ J
station ana renevea or tneir raaio
show, which was scheduled for
Fridays from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m.
According to Steven Gionfriddo,
WUSC station manager, classic rock
(the music Crisci and Allen aired)
"doesn't fit with what we're trying
to do."
The music format or policy is the
type of music a radio station will
play. The WUSC-FM policy is
basically the following:
Programming must be as diverse
as possible.
No one is allowed to bring in their
own music to play at the station,
unless it has been approved by the
music department.
Music approved by the music
department cannot be listed in
billboard's top 40 for the past 30
years, cannot be popular, cannot be
mainstream and cannot be heard on
another radio station in Columbia.
Gionfriddo, Crisci ajd Allen met
several times to discuss thr <> .isic
policy ahd the V T* r i [ ls
nts," tfre permitted vi> isibj . \* .ast
dng meeting took piace at the beginning
Tm of the semester,
side Crisci and Allen had a classic
rock specialty show last semester,
,ony and said they hoped to have the same
iave specialty show this semester.
mn- Specialty shows are shows that
concentrate on a specific kind of
music: punk, jazz, reggae, classical,
" world beat, blues, etc.
^ These shows are approved by
w^? Gionfriddo, along with the music
jctor directors and program director. The
man shows still must be "different,
underground and a big majority that
lovs cannot be heard on another station
dent in Columbia."

popular music. He said he

the kind of things you'd find with paint."
Anderson said the department responded
t to the call as it normally would to a structure
t fire,
At 3:20 p.m. Monday, seven trucks and a
car were dispatched to the science center, and
t by 3:55 p.m., Anderson said, the situation was
g "under control."
Chemistry and biochemistry department
chairman Bruce Dunlap said the evacuation
was "completely a false alarm."
^ Dunlap said the work of the students, faculty
and staff who were using the science center
when the evacuation occurred was disrupted.
"I think a number of people were distressed
t at having to move to leave their laboratories
and the classes and meetings that were in
I session, only to find out that basically someone
was overreacting to an odor produced by a can
of spray paint," Dunlap^said.
