This year saw many changes for the students working on the third floor of the student
union. The student newspaper, The Argonaut, had a change of Editors at the semester with the
resignation of Sergio Brown. Ruth Snow took the head and the Argonaut resumed work to finish
out the year smoothly. The Argonaut Ads staff, headed up by Katie Hefflefinger, brought in more
than their goal for the year in advertising revenue. All in all the Argonaut did well for itself this
year, making a more quality newspaper and appealing to more advertisers than in recent years.
Down the hall KUOI , the student radio station, had it's own changes being made. Loren
Finn, station manager, made a goal of returning the radio station to the students at the U of I. By
the close of the year they had succeeded with 80% of the staff and volunteer DJs being students.
The other 20% was comprised of the community members who are so very vital to the station.
Tyson Carpenter who took over the overwhelming duty of getting underwriting for KUOI , brought
many new contracts in for the station. As well he contacted KUOI Alumni, many of whom were
more than willing to donate money to their college radio station, bringing in badly needed funds for
the student station.
As for us at the GEM, we set our sites on combining the century that we saw come to a
finish with the year at hand. This meant looking at the past hundred years for the U of I as well as
capturing the events that took place this year. As for the finished product, it is in your hands.
