9. FIX UP YOUR CKDU.CA PRESENCE!
Hey you! Why not update your show information on the program schedule? We've updated the program schedule on our website, so check it out! Some shows have old outdated information, others have none. You can also make a custom show banner 420px X 100px. Send your show description, host name, contact information (if you want it available), link to a website (if you have one), and a show banner to george@ckdu.ca.
ALSO If you are interested in having your very own server space with ftp access and a sub-domain (yourshow.ckdu.ca) let me know. You can put together your own show website, or even just store old show audio files.

10. STUDENT UNION BUILDING SUMMER HOURS
The Dal SUB summer hours are in effect. The building is open:
