By James Harder News Editor

n Monday morning the Students Union General Assembly unani­ Omously decided to put the future of CKUL radio in the hands of a six person committee which neither SU president Jon Wescott or former CKUL Station Manger Aaron Nakama can have a seat on. "I don't get to play in it and Aaron does­ n't get to play in it," said SU President Jon Wescott. Over the past four months, Nakama and Wescott have battled back and forth for con­ trol of the station. Nakama ha.s been trying to keep CKUL at the helm of the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission license, while Wescott ha.s tried to ensure the SU remains in control of "I don't get to play in it and Aaron doesn't get to play in it," said SU President Jon Wescott. the station. Monday's decision came after a weekend of talks among the General Assembly, which also included several representatives from CKUL.
