KUOI
BILL VERMILLION, Station Manager for KUOI this year.
Eleven years ago, a small group of students put
the first Campus Radio Network program on the
air from a make-shift studio in a corner of the
Electrical Engineering lab in the Engineering Annex
building, behind the Home Economics building. Now
this campus radio station broadcasts continuous programs
7:3 0 to 11:00 every week day from the third
floor in the Student Union Building. The Voice
of the Vandal includes a suite of five rooms with a UP
teletype, a five-watt transmitter, a high fidelity tape
recorder, a remote amplifier, and this year there were
two brand new "Gates" three speed turntables installed.
According to ASUI General Manager Gale Mix, a
long range plan calls for expansion and erection
of a new broadcasting studio with piano and necessary
equipment for studio production which IS estimated
to cost between $5 000 and $6000.
This year KUOI has been run by about 25 announcers
and 10 to 15 on the office staff. Station
Manager this year is Bill Vermillion.
