WQFS now has overwhelm
ing power. The transmitter in
WQFS had not been replaced
since 1974 (26 years). Though
the station suffered a long se
ries of setbacks, they have fi
nally installed the new, ad
vanced transmitter.
The transmitter was due to
be installed last semester dur
ing fall break. Unfortunately, the
engineer suffered a stroke and
it was pushed back to the semes
ter break.

it was discovered that the wir

rewiring project
was undertaken
and the installa

back to spring

tried to build the program to meet
a variety of needs. We want the
students to have the atmosphere
of a professorial conference," said
Irene Harrington, Director of Ca
reer Development, Internships
and Service Learning.
The fee for the conference is
nominal. The conference includes
a continental breakfast, buffet
lunch, and a professional who will
critique resumes. Bonnie Krosse,
Career Counselor, who is new to
Guilford but has worked in this
field for many years, will be lead
ing a course called "Using the
Internet in your Job Search." "We'll
do an interactive quiz and focus on
five ways you can use the Internet
in your job search," said Krosse.
"We'll also cover ways to use the
internet for research."
The fair will also feature door
prizes including a free manicure,

student fashion show featuring
people from a number of different
groups on campus. There is some
thing there for everyone, even re
cent alums," said Krosse. Randy

Although the actual range
of the station will not increase—
WQFS cannot reach parts of
Winston-Salem because of the
mountain range— the power of
the signal has greatly increased.
Another advantage is that
this transmitter needs only one
part to be fully digital, which
will soon be FCC standard.
When that goes into effect,
WQFS will have a leg up on
other college radio stations that
will have to go to great time and
expense to upgrade; time and
expense that WQFS already has
out of the way.

Dods on ,
station
manager of
WQFS. "It

We had to
take one
door off the
hinges and
take apart
the frame
on another
in order to
get it in.
Any who are interested in the
conference should preregister.
"We need to have numbers so
we can plan rooms and meals in
advance," stated Harrington. Stu
dents may take advantage of some
or all of the courses offered. "I
would strongly encourage students
to take advantage of the jam
packed program with skills they
can use to manage their careers*
