There may be few, if any, student
organizations that are as underappreciated
by students as WUSCFM90.5.
u
The reasons for lack of concern Cl
some students have for the station ,
range from its sometimes disorganized
state to scandals and bad press and 0
even to the fact that the station lacks
a visual image. j?
After all, no one can see radio

However, under the guidance of
veteran directors like Station Manager ^

Hie current executive staff members
ay they have a strong commitment
) the station's purpose and a desire
) broaden its role in the USC-Columbia
immunity.
WUSCs position is difficult because
tiere are conflicting demands placed
n the station.
As one of the last free-form stations
1 the nation, WUSC is locally famous
>r its diverse musical programming.
From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., the station
lays a combination of featured new
lusic and selections by the on-air disc
>ckey.
Unlike commercial stations that
;ature singles, WUSC rotates entire
lbums, not just a few songs.
"You really have to work to hear

the same track twice," said Alexander,
who is a junior.
From 6 p.m. to midnight, the
station's programming consists of
genre-specific specialty shows that
range from jazz to metal and dance
and country. Promotion
Director Shawn Fry
jokingly re fers to the two hour shows
as "radio for a short attention span."
These primetime programs cater
to fans of specific genres of music and
to the station's loyal group of listeners.
Many of these shows focus on styles
of music that are not commonly heard
on other stations.
Genres like the blues, Celtic music,
world beat, and Latin music are all
showcased. In addition, other shows
explore the underground of genres like
punk, hip hop, dance and oldies.
Begining next Friday, The
Gamecock will have a weekly showcase
of these unique shows.
In addition to musical specialty

shows, the station will be airing talk
shows this semsester focusing on
everything from sports to community
affairs.
Fry said he is most excited by plans
for a weekly community talk show
covering activities of student
organizations both on the USC campus
and other school organizations in the
Columbia area.
Fry said he hopes that these new
shows will allow the station to capitalize
its unique ability to reach people off
campus.
The WUSC staff and schedule for
this semester are still looking for new
members, and there are plenty of
opportunities for students who want
to get involved.
Weekly meetings are Thursdays
at 7:30 p.m.
For more information, call the
WUSC station office at 777-7172 or

90.5 was in the midst
of controversy.
Among the students
who helped lead the
station out of these HP
problems is the current
station manager,
Steve GionfMddo, who
is shown below.
GionlMddo is pictured

provide the students

a unique opportunity
to gain exposure to
different styles of

education goals.
