Who owns the radio station (the physical space, the transmitter,
other equipment) ?
Are broadcasting classes given at your university using your station
in an educational context?
Your student government may well have overstepped its legal authority.
I would recommend talking to an attorney (barrister? sorry, I'm not
English) about this, you may have grounds for a lawsuit or a court
order instructing the student government to reopen the facility or
go to jail. 
Is there an instructor connected with the management/operation of
the facility? There are academic freedom questions concerned with this
as well that he might want to bring up at the next Academic Senate
(or British equivalent; I'm talking about whatever organization your
faculty uses to play its part in the governance of the school)
That's a start...
Good luck.

Some of you may have read the article I posted a few weeks ago about

CDs, LPs, anything usable in their broadcasting.  Many people sent
me notes expressing the intention to do so.  Studentsko Radio
advises that they have a new address, which should be used instead
of the one I gave.  Here's the new one:
 Studentsko Radio

Makedonia

And they have a new phone number, too:  +38 91 364-162

		IMPORTANT! Serious posting from an English college.

	Today (Thu 21 Jan) University Radio Bailrigg in Lancaster was
closed down by its own student Union.

The basic premise behind this is that the Union do not like URB making money
off its own back. For this reason they have changed the locks and stopped us
broadcasting.
	We have a highly successful deal with a local nightclub, for which
	we provide Djs and publicity. This knocks spots out of the Union-run
nightclub in the area, which offers jobs to the entire Exec, who stand to lose
if their club performs poorly... You can sense their motives now.

	With no warning given of any grievance they had with us, they simply
	stormed our station and closed it down. This occured late at night,
not during office hours, but after an Exec meeting from which independent
observers were excluded (democracy?). The mass meeting held two days
previously was not consulted.

	We need your help.

	This is a dangerous precedent. With funding from unions minimal and
	soon to disappear (union budgets are tight and the pressure on radio
	stations is ever-increasing), how else are we to operate a
	radio station?

We are therefore putting this out as a general appeal to as many
free-thinkers as possible to please, if you could spare just a few
pounds/dollars/whatever and a few minutes of your time to send a fax of
support and protest to the Students Union at Lancaster University, UK on
the following number:

		+44 524 846 732

This will help to show the union that they are not able to simply ride
roughshod over a few individuals and there are people all over the world
who feel as strongly as we do over this travesty of democracy

	Your help will be greatly appreciated. This is NOT a joke.

Thankyou in advance....

Don't assume that any other country has an equivalent to the U.S.
Constitution's Bill of Rights.  Very few countries do.  It's my
understanding that England doesn't even have a written constitution,
but rather considers the body of tradition and precedent to be their
constitution.  Canada didn't have an equivalent to the Bill of
Rights until a few years ago when their Charter of Rights and
Freedoms was implemented.  In the U.K., the government can impose
prior restraint to prevent the press from publishing any information
they deem unsuitable for public consumption, something which, if I
recall my journalism classes correctly, has been illegal in America
since 1752.  As far as I know, there has only been one instance of
it in America in this century.  In the U.K., it is illegal to
broadcast the voice of a member of Sinn Fein, a legal political
party, because of their association with the I.R.A.  (Please, no
flames, no comment on the policies of either of these organizations
pro or con is intended).  Sinn Fein comments are braodcast on the
BBC by having them read by an actor.

Don't take for granted the freedoms the Constitution guarantees
Americans.  They don't exist universally by a long shot.

   Get a grip...  I'm no republican, but it's an incontrovertable fact 
that the past 12 years of republican administration has led to SIGNIFICANT
deregulation of the broadcast industry.  You're barking up the wrong tree.
The real reason is simple: the FCC has a job to do, and it does it best
when people follow the rules and document everything.  It's cheaper for
them to maintain relatively clean spectrum if everyone helps out.  
the noncomm band is a *mess* due to the allocation process...but that's
OK, because we all know about it and accept it as the downside of the
many benefits we get.  But the FCC still has a job to do, and by making
a few examples, enough other stations will be motivated to make the FCC's
job easier.
   Why is it important to make the FCC's job easier?  Because they're 
losing funding and staff as well.  We're all in the spectrum consumption
business, and all told the FCC does a decent job of managing it, at least
in broadcast radio/TV.  They can't continue to do that in the face of
budget cuts without some help from us.

   On the other hand, some of the more recent fines (Stern & co.) are a
trifle outrageous.  I attribute these to the same causes, though.  I'd
rather see the FCC hit Stern for $70k than hit 14 noncomms $5k each for
not updating their ownership data annually.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I must not
have been keeping upto date on FCC actions lately...

Did the FCC recently modify the local ownership rules to allow a
broadcast group to own two (or more) FM stations per market?

This seems to be a popular passtime here in Albuquerque lately...
the two top "rock" stations in town have announced
they will be merging under a new broadcast group.

Since my broadcasting professors always said this was
illegal, I assume the FCC has loosened the reins?

Frankly, I think it's a bad move
myself... consolidating large numbers of ratings points in
one broadcast group is going to absolutely DESTROY the
Albuquerque ADI.  This in a market already glutted with
loser stations and stations dropping off the air like
flies (witness the short lived KNUA-FM, which was on the
air for all of a month.)

Anyhow, I'd appreciate some net-wisdom on the subject.  Flame
away if you like, but don't be too nasty :)

[Moderator's Note:  Shad, it is not a shameful thing to have been living in a
cave for the past couple years. :->, just joshin'. Anyway, sad but true, the
Commission has allowed for some time now, the ownership of multiple stations
of the same service in a given market. AM and FM are included and like you
said, it is a bad move from a listener or 'radio fan' point of view, for
surely it will result in a couple of  mega-conglomerates controling the scope
and direction of radio even more than already exists.  This, along with
LMA's, mindless, generic satellite fed programming and a general lack of
creativity is making 'real' radio pretty much a thing of the past.  From a
corporate accountant's point of view, however, these things are 'god sends'
and good business. The Commission seems to be more for the bean counters
these days than the broadcasters.  Sad day indeed when the likes of Howard
Stern is considered to be 'creative cutting edge broadcasting'.  No wonder
there is so much interest in old-time broadcasting.  Bill

There is plenty of good evidence linking various ill-effects to living
near high tension lines.  There is, however, no evidence whatsoever linking
those effects to electromagnetic radiation.

After watching the trucks disgorging used PCB-laden transformer oil over
the dirt roads along the power lines, in an attempt to keep the dust down,
and seeing this go on over the course of twenty years, I would be very
wary of living in the neighborhood.  I don't think PCBs are half as harmful
