University administrators said Friday they will provide the necessary funds for KSCR's transition to FM broadcasting, said station manager Raymond So.
"This is what we've all been waiting for, for a long time," So said.
The Student Senate had called upon administrators earlier this month to match a senate allocation of $5,000 for the project. The combined $10,000 will be used to install five transmitters around
the university.	victor Ll Dally Trojan

Rave clubs: Not what you thought, hard to describe
By Paul Malcolm
Staff Writer
As the history books of the hip will record, the combination of Chicago house music, the youth of Manchester, England, and the psychedelic drug ecstasy led to the underground dance club phenomena called raves.
Combining pumped-up technohouse music backed by a hard driving bass beat, with lighting, computer graphics and visual art, the 15-hour, midnight-to-next-afternoon parties went international.
By the mid-1980s, raves — also called outlaw parties, undergrounds or just plain clubs — were going strong in Los Angeles, sometimes attracting thousands of people a night.
"When undergrounds first started (in Los Angeles), they were illegal," said one promoter who idetified himself simply as Hunter. "(Promoters) used to break into warehouses, tap into the electricity next door and just go off, and now it's getting into the legal scene — no alcohol, no anything. It's still a lot of fun, but they have changed."
Legal or illegal, raves have proven difficult to describe.
Earlier this month, the Los Angeles Times captioned a photo of a woman sucking nitrous oxide (laughing gas) from a balloon at a dance club by describing the activities of clubgoers as dancing and "blowing up balloons."
Gilligan's Island, a two-day underground club on Catalina Island, was touted by MTV's Week in Rock last August as Los Angeles' first rave ever, despite the fact that raves have been in Los Angeles for years.
And, of course, the "Beverly Hills, 90210" episode in which the B.H. kids found themselves amid the denizens of an underground club was so inaccurate that many clubgoers were actually offended.
"I told all my friends to watch (the "90210" episode) saying that's what undergrounds are like," said Sonia

Rape case may go on to D.A.
Alleged victim cooperating with police
By Robert Moran
Staff Writer
An attempted rape case involving two university students may go to the district attorney's office for possible prosecution some time this week, police said.
Ryan Willson (whose first name was incorrectly provided to the Daily Trojan last week as "Ron"), 22, was arrested Thursday in connection with an attempted rape of a 19-year-old university student earlier
that morning on the top of Parking Structure A.
Officers at the Los Angeles Police Department's Southwest jail said Willson posted $30,000 bail and was released Friday.
Valerie Paton, assistant dean of Student Affairs, said Friday that an "emergency investigation" of the case was being conducted by the university. Paton said the alleged victim was being coun-
seled by Women's Issues Advocate Kathleen Bartle-Schulweis.
Bartle-Schulweis has declined to comment on the case.
A friend of Willson's, who asked not to be identified, said Willson is maintaining his innocence. The friencf also said thot "Ryan has a lawyer, and an investigation into her background is being heavily advanced."
The alleged victim told the Daily Trojan she is cooperating with police and would pursue prosecution.
