The total cost to operate the machine this semester is estimated at 700 dollars. Hockey games are not ex- pected to be broadcast any longer because "it costs the station too much at this moment, " Cheryl Cannon, acting manager. of CIIVN, said.

Business Administration professor Walter Isenor says UPEI has the highest student faculty ratio in the maritimes and. he is concerned that the pro— gram will not service or educate the students properly '. There were six full-time professors teaching business during ratio 24-1 to Mickey Place, Student Union business manger. Place admits that his fig— ures may not be complete and is now looking over Cannon's estimate. John Neville, Student Union Treasurer and anchor-— man for the hockey broad- casts, sees the B.N. ma— chine as a . "luxury" and would like to see the games stay on the air. He says advertising to the ststion is sold for the games and without them there will be a loss in revenue. , Cannon, however, plans to go to all the adver~' 'r tisers and offer other ad- vertising packages. She says that " we are going to to keep that revenue even- though we are no longer going to cover the hockey genes." Rick Webber, programme Director for CID/N, says that there are so many different advertisers for the hockey games that all the advertising equipenent is used on the games. This leaves little equipement for advertising on other programs or for public an— nouncements. This would cost more money to buy more equipement. Nevillealso believes that UPEI hockey games are mare relevant to\the stu— were Paul Smith, Nelda Iund, Mike 'Iterris and Step— hen Fitzpatrick.

Cannon, on the other hand, stated that " we [CIMN di— rectorsI find that the B and News gives much more information to the students flan a hockey game.“ She explained that the station is now able to have 4 news casts and 2 sportscests daily when it used to have only 2 newscasts per day with 1 weekly sports— , , Cast, Cheryl Cannon Cannon also said that the B.N. machine was the first thing all the station directors agreed upon in quite a while.
