Does the Auraria campus need a radio station and are students willing to help support one? Those Auraria students who are *"1ing to pay an extra dollar in student fees every semester may help KHUM Denver Educational Broadcasting Inc., get their community access station off the BfOUnd. However, the decision can't be made by students alone. The matter must keep afloat through several governing bodies before KHUM can start broadcasting on ttieir 89.3 FM frequency at Auraria. MSC is the first school to take action on the pending station. The Student Affairs Board (SAB), oomprised of elected students, an administrator, and a faculty member, will review KHUM's . ' 150-page proposal :tiext week. The SAB, which distributes student fee money to MSC student organizations, will discuss the KHUM proposal during their annual budget all0<;ation meetings beginning Monday and continuing through Wednesday. ; .

They hold a referendum on KHUM this fall, before sending 'the proposal up the high echelon of administrators leading to the CU Board of Regents for the final decision. "We can fund them (KHUM)

some money over the summer," said Tom Jianna, chairperson of UCD's Executive Council. "But we have to wait until the fall, after we've held the referendum to do anything else." KHUM must also get CCD's approval before ·becoming a campus station. This means the State Board of Community Colleges, which governs all the community colleges in Denver as one school with many extentions, would alf continued on page 3
