-Graham:why can’t we play KHDX asthe default station in the SLTC?

not all stations are suitable to be playedall the time (ie not family friendly…)

-Emily Canon: Can we have back upkeys made for the storage units upstairs in the SLTC? (A student borrowed a keywithout returning promptly/or providing ID)

-call PSAFE

-normally, students must leave their ID atthe info desk when they check the key out so we know who has it, and so theycan’t go far from the SLTC. (Info desk people will report to Liz Larson)
