COLUMN EDITORIAL CARTOON BY GIA HYOS New format is a hit and miss

Reasons to oppose the "Hit-Mix" furmat are at least as nwnerous as the varieties of musical expression now miss­ ing from WEIU-FM's broadcasting day. rn limit myself to fuur: 1. A college radio station should not attempt to dupli­ cate and compete with the offerings of commercial sta­ tions.
