people have various tastes in music. Hip-hop might be the favorite to one, but "must-avoid" to the other. Rap musics would be controveral... it would be tough to decide which rap song can be aired, since some of them contain lyrics to put down women, attacks on the insitution / law enforcement (when I was in highschool, a visiting police officer was offended when he walked by a group of students, one of which has a radio blaring: Kill the Sheriff.

I would prefer less music, but for the radio as an outlet for school issues, such as where and when there was a traffic condition leading to / out of campus, so students can view it as useful information. Also, since students / faculties would be able to tune in, the radio station would be useful for some communications that wouldn't happen otherwise (I don't think many students take time to go to the Dept Dean's office and vent about the current situations).
agreed...we primarily need news of what's going on. they have all kinds of stuff on campus that people don't know about. the music could support the news. some school stations have canned formats without deejays and that could be another option. thanks for the post!
