David Ghan KSPU headquarters in Weter Hall sits dormant on Feb. 19 due to financial and technical issues.

In order to avoid the problems that kept KSPU from running the majority of this year, the future KSPU staff will include a technician, who will work through any problems the station might face.

"It will definitely be up and running more smoothly next year," said future station manager Tyler Santoro. "We're making sure we won't face those problems."

Santoro said they made a proposal to ASSP to include a technical person on staff to make sure the station can run smoothly all year.

"One of our first and foremost goals for next year is to make sure the station is doing what it's supposed to be doing," Santoro said.

Next year's staff will include Keri Stark, who will be in charge of programs and business administration, Moorea Seal, who will be in charge of promotions, and John Booker, who will be running the technical aspects of the station.

Santoro said another goal of the station is to once again present to the SPU campus a venue where students can come and share their thoughts and creativity with the rest of the student body.

"We want to broaden the spectrum as far as student involvement and student listeners," Santoro said. The biggest challenge will be to re-present KSPU to the SPU student body, he said.

"There will definitely be unforeseen challenges ahead of us," Santoro said. "But once we're over that initial hump, things will begin to smoothen out."
