Campus radio seeking increase in student support

A $3 per semester increase in its student levy will enable campus-community radio CJAMfm to upgrade its equipment, expand training programs, and offer more live events, says station manager Lix Sellick.

Full-time undergraduate students are invited to approve the measure in a referendum through online balloting Thursday to Saturday, March 13 to 15.

“For the price of a coffee per semester, we will significantly bolster services,” Sellick says. “This means more live music events, more free art workshops, game nights, and movie nights.”

She says the additional funding will allow staff to upgrade audio, DJ, and recording equipment for free training sessions, and expand programs in live radio, recording, and media training.
