WQFS staff... at your service
Christian Scanniello
Staff Writer
Hopefully by now everyone is
well acquainted with WQFS, the
campus radio station that provides
its listeners with hours of aural plea
sure as well as a countless number
of life lessons. For the ten students
who comprise the station's executive
staff, WQFS also provides plenty of
headaches and seemingly unsolvable
quandaries. But not to overinflate
our responsibilities. No one forced
us to be martyrs for quality radio.
We do it because we love it. Here
we are ...
