DSU Notes

  1. That there is a desire for a student radio station in Durham

DSU Believes

  1. That this idea should be fully investigated.
  2. That initially the aim should be to provide a service in Dunelm, and hopefully it should be aimed to extend this service throughout the University.
  3. That it should aim to provide news as well as entertainment.
  4. That such a service could be used to help disseminate information throughout the university.
  5. That such a service could raise some of its costs through advertising.
