I'd like to take this op- portunity to explain a lit- tle bit the for those who are wnfamil- iar with it. We cated on the third floor of the student union building, with about sixty dj's on staff. We have the ability to broadcast to three resi-

and the need to fill in the late shifts.

Throughout the day, you are able to hear eight different dj’s and the mu- sic they play. At any point during the day, please feel free to make a request or a dedication. The numbers to call are 566-0417 or 892- 8980. At CIMN the staff is able to play music without the restrictions of a tight format.Due to this, expect to find a diverse range of musical shows.

We are members of the student body playing mu- sic FOR the student body. Versatility is the key to a greater knowledge of mu- sic, and we feel that we are able to offer that kind of versatility. We are not like CFCY or CHTN when it comes to programming. We offer many types of music at different times through- out the day. — Spotlights on featured artists, spe- cials directed by a certain theme or idea are a few things that commercial ra- dio is unable to provide on a daily basis. How often can you hear the Clash or the Dead Kennedys played on CECY72

In the coming weeks, there will be a schedule of shifts and music put in the Gem for those who would like to follow a particular type of music. Also. each week a Top 25 is compiled and the Gem. This compilation lected by having the music

This is the first Top 25 for this year from Cimn Ra- dio. As previously explained, the compilation is done by reading over the dj's lists of music that they have played during thie shifts. Accumulated lists then need to be read over and the top 25 songs (those who are on the accu- mulated list the most often ) become the Top 25 of the

week.

Obviously since we weren’t transmitting last week. caller requests really didn*t play an important factor in Actually, nothing did except for the- dj's So, for those who are interested in the music that was played last week while you couldn't hear us, these
