KOOP SAYS FAREWELL

What follows is an excerpt from a protest letter/farewell message we
posted around campus in early June 1995 when we heard KOOP-AM 
might fall to the ax of student government.  Now, we are putting
the farewell portion of the message on the Web, to remember all those we
worked with and hope that their experience were as great as ours.

With the advent of new technologies, we worry that college radio may
be a "dying breed" -- seen as old and antiquated in the face of other
forms of communication.  But radio can do things no other medium 
can.   By bringing us information taken in only through our ears, it
challenges us to stretch our minds and use our imaginations, done
with intimacy and immediacy.  That's a powerful thing.


May people learn from situations like KOOP-AM before it's too late...



As both of us have been involved with KOOP-AM at various stages 
between its inception in 1991 through today, we wanted to give 
recognition to the people that we've worked with.  Without them, there 
never would have been a KOOP-AM.  We know this list is not complete, and 
if anyone has been left out, we want you to know we thank you as well.
