“UHH… you failed!” clearly has no idea what goes on on WashU’s campus. His/her ignorance to KWUR’s significance on campus and in the history of national college radio is only exceeded by his/her complete unawareness of where the student activities fee goes.

Treasury gives money to student groups to buy religious idols (classified as equipment!) that sit in the basement of the Women’s Building; to fund fundraisers; to buy the SU reps water bottles and other merch; and to get drunk for WILD on a semesterly budget that is 10x what KWUR gets
annually. If groups like KWUR and the Gargoyle got the money that WILD gets for 3 bands, WashU could literally host a music festival that would attract national music media attention.

Any active student on WashU’s campus can only assume that “UHH… you failed!” doesn’t know anything about the goings-on at this school.

I accidentally became a listener because I have a son who is a dj….but lo and behold….I now listen for the spectacularly eclectic music that streams out of my computer…especially the type of music that I never have access to on the commercial radio airwaves, but which I enjoy when the kid is home for the Summer….The crowd around my law office have become regular listeners also…..WUSTL community: SPREAD THE WORD AROUND THE COUNTRY!!
