. 20° Pianet oF THE Arts / NOVEMBER 1995 ZV Ul wy STATE OF THE UNION Well, the ECIAD Students’ Union executive has finally come together. We were able to meet three times since our September 27th Annual General Meeting with great success. The Students’ Union office literally has been filled to capacity during the lunchtime meetings on Thursdays. Who you may ask has filled this room? The executive is made up of the following enthusiastic souls: Jeff Antonio Nicola Sampson Susannah Carnie Linda Szasz Jen Eby Dawn Huck Mike Harris Sam Shem Jen Weih Patrick Gunn Yvonne Vuu Kyath Battie Nicolas Coté animation co-rep animation co-rep ceramics co-rep ceramics co-rep ECD co-rep ECD.co-rep film/video rep first year rep first year rep graphic design co-rep graphic design co-rep intermedia co-rep intermedia co-rep Matt Burnett Jody Perron Leah Burns Harald Gravelsins painting rep part-time studies rep part-time studies rep photo co-rep; finacial co-ordinator photo co-rep printmaking rep Jonathan Lander Rae Goodridge Bryan Langlands Andrew Power Berit Kjade Gerald Eastwood Rena d.P.Gobbi gay students co-liason gay students co-liason international students liason students w/ disabilities liason womens liason So what have we been doing? First off, the Students’ Union office (Rm 237) is now open to all students from 9am to 9pm, Monday to Friday. In it, you will find comfy sofas to relax upon after a stressful day in school; a free phone; and a computer system to access your e-mail, to do your essays, or to surf the net. As well, there's a grungy microwave in the back that should be cleaned out, but hey, you might like the unusual flavours that it lends to your food. About e-mail: Fern Ignacio is the person taking care of it for the moment. Just put your name on the list and wait. Very much like a lottery for some reason, but eventually everyone who signs up should get one of those handy-dandy e- mail addresses from me. Harald Gravelsins has graciously accepted the arduous position of Financial Co-ordinator. He will be overseeing our budget process over the next two or three weeks. So, if you have any proposals in need of funding, get your request into the Students’ Union soon. Jeff Antonio is working on some solutions to the bike rack situation. = Beginning plans are for a secured (ie: card access) bike lock area at the east side of the north building. Some racks in front of the south building will be moved for some cover from the rain. Keep your eyes open for Maligned Media Night, hosted by Erin Gillgannon and Rob Dayton, a sure bet for some alternative distraction (every second Tuesday evening in Room 260). Movie Nights are Monday evenings in the Lecture Theatre (Room 328), brought to you by Nathanial Akin. Administration and Students’ Union are working out a plan to get furniture on which to crash, in spe- cific lounge areas in both buildings. Liasons in Part Time courses are presently being contacted with a view to articulating an agenda of concerns particular to Part Time stu- dents. Radio Free Emily is in the works from our very own low-wattage nar- ingle Abe: bot LOREM grt ibs S4Bok : 1.

I think the audience has got to be greater than yourself, otherwise you're not really doing radio. You may as well turn the transmitter off and just do it in the studio. JC: But, if you were in a different media...say you were a painter, you could do whatever you want- ed to, and your audience would be yourself, and presumably if what you were doing was interesting enough, or consistent enough, or important enough, then other peo- ple would be interested. But if you transfer that idea to radio it seems problematic, cause you don’t have that luxury of just doing what you do and hopefully picking up peo-» . ple along the way. IP: I think you do though. I think’ it’s important that people are still able to experiment, regardless of whether anybody’s going to like it. But I think you still have to be aware of, and think about, the fact that there’s an audience there. I’m going to choose in my show to program to my target audience, rather than programming to all of those other people. But I’m still going to take into account the fact that all those other people are there. I'm not going to forget that they’re there and just ignore them. JC: That’s the strength of radio, the fact that other people are there. IP: The idea of having a pirate radio station in your living room is very appealing, but what would you do with it? How would you make it interesting? What kind of experimentation would you do? Given that you're operating in an environment where there are lots of opportunities to do music pro- gramming, to do political pro- gramming, to do radical program- ming and even to do experimental programming, what’s your motiva- tion going to be to do it ona pirate station rather than do it through the other avenues that you've got? What people do in England and in the Bay area is driven by their context, but here, what are you going to do to make it interesting and why are you going to do it in the first place? what’s the point? °_- JCrIs it still an ideal to change mass media through Co-op radio? IP: I don’t think you're necessarily - going to change mass media through Co-op radio, but it is real- ly important that this kind of opportunity exists. I don’t know if it’s really going to change the media environment...little by little it does, as more people. listen and hear you talking about why Co-op radio’ s important, as more people sign on. Just by surviving, Co-op radio effects change in and of itself. But I’m not really interested in changing the rest of it, it’s not going to change. It’s going to take a hell of a lot more than a com- munity radio station to change it, because it’s so. deeply ingrained and embedded. I’m not here to change the media environment, I’m just here to make sure that the media environment includes some- thing like Co-op radio. s@& 20) Prset orm Aes: | Nove 1995, ~ Beginning plans are fora secure (ie STATE OF THE UNION ‘Well, the ECIAD Student’ Union executive has finally come together.
