Radio Free Gtah ‘Tm sick of this top-forty muzak! I know; it’s the same, day in and day out. But what else can we listen to? Well, listen to this: folk to punk; blues to jazz; country to pop; new wave to rock- abilly; and something for everyone. This special something, this smooth mix of music and pertinent community informa- tion can be found only at 91 FM, KRCL—Listeners Community Radio of Utah. What all that means according to Stephen Holbrook is We give the com- munity a chance to express their ideas and music, and make the media more accessible to minorities. KRCL lives up to this bold ideal with the only two-hour, seven-day-a-week Hispanic radio show in the state, and with truly relevant informa- tion programs such as Morning Light (everything from nuclear issues to third world topics), and the short Energy Up- date spots. When KRCL first started about two years ago, we had mostly used equip- ment, but now through donations and fed- eral grants we have better equipment and a wider range of programming, said Ste- phen Holbrook. KRCL takes in about $ 164,000 a year in donations and $85,000 of that goes towards equipment. Very few people at KRCL are actually paid for their work; the majority of the employees are volunteers, which includes all of the dj’s who bring most of their records in from private collections. According to Stephen Holbrook, the most popular programs are the country and folk flavored Sagebrush Serenade ; the new wave and pop shows “Confushion of Music ; I’m So Bored ; and Easy Street ; also the only reggae program in the Salt Lake area, Jamai- can Jive ; and La Voz del Pueblo”, the Hispanic music and culture show. KRCL also specializes in live local music and specials featuring various bands. KRCL grew out of the civil rights movements and anti-war protests of the late 60’s and early 70 s. I discovered the power of the media in college, when I was turned down to respond to a pro-war edi- torial. I don’t want that to happen here, explained Mr. Holbrook. 91 FM, still clings to its’ 60's roots in playing more ’60’s music than any other station in Utah. The dj’s are for the most part hon- est and good humored, not phoney and slick like so many top-forty radio person- alities. Kai Hollie (host of Progressive Vibrations and Black Track ) was vot- ed Most Promising Radio Voice in The Best and Worst of 1981” in Utah Holiday magazine. KRCL has become the most listened to community radio station in Utah, sur- passing KUER by 50% and KBYU by 100%. Currently KRCL has over 15,300 listeners, of which 90% are between the ages of 18 and 35, but the number of younger listeners is steadily increasing. KRCL, 91 FM, is a nonprofit organiza- tion that attempts to represent the views and ideas of the Wasatch Front accurate- ly and enjoyably. Where else can you hear the Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Who, Bob Marley, The Grateful Dead, Chuck Berry, Pat Metheney, Fleetwood Mac, and The Rolling Stones, all on the same radio frequency? Besides, it’s absolutely, completely, and totally commercial free. Before a board of old. yet sophisticated equipment, a disc jockey for the Hispanic culture and music show programs La Voz del Pueblo . Featuring the music and lifestyles of every culture from Polynesian to Asian, KRCL-FM 91 does what no other radio station can in bringing interesting affairs and ideas to the public ears.

156 • Juniors Picture yourself in a country completely foreign to you. Then attend a high school totally different from any that you’d ever known before. It would seem pretty fright- ening, wouldn’t it? At the beginning of this year, Joe Qvarn- strom, an exchange student from Sma- land, Sweden, found himself in this same situation. Joe plans to graduate from Alta, and then would like to go to college here in America. Joe said, I would like to go to (J.C.L.A. if my grades are good enough; students from a foreign country must have higher grades than students from Amer- ica.” Joe decided to become an exchange stu- dent because as he says, In Sweden, not as many business classes are available.” Here at Alta, Joe participates in sports such as track and field, cross country, wrestling and soccer. He also enjoys cars as a hobby. A sense of humor keeps Joe. Swedish exchange stu- dent. sane during hard studying hours. His involve- ment in school activities, such as the DECA Fashion Show provided a well rounded education.
