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- about station are lo- dences on campus, as well as to the cafeteria and to the pit in the library. Due to the damage to the equip- ment this summer, we are not broadcasting to the pit or to the cafeteria at this time. This will be rehooked the connected. up once cable is re- For right now though. we are content to be broadcasting to the res- idences only until the other matter can be overcome.

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 When thinking of the dj’s, I'd like to thank those the ded- that con- who have shown ication and the time enables the radio to tinue.

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.
