^Clackamas Print Poll Tayo Stalnaker at do you think S* *•**■ bad- ■ It’s gone up twice in a fl couple of jfl months.” Evan Honer Portland radio is home to some of the worst stations. I’m sure other cities have bad radio stations, but Portland could probably give them a run for the money. The following is a list of Portland’s most popular FM stations and a brief rundown of each. Jammin’ 955: This is probably the single most annoying radio sta tion in Portland, and possibly the world. The worst part of this station is the disc: jockeys. Most of them are affluent white preppies that pretend they’re from the ghetto. Most of them probably haven’t even seen the ghetto. To top it offi 95.5 is home to one of the worst morning shows in exis tence, “The Playhouse.” The show is filled with sophomoric antics, the hosts talking about things that don’t matter and lame prank phone calls. Not to mention that the host of the show pretends to be from the east coast with his fake Brooklyn accent This station is definitely poseur- fiiendly. Z100: Ah yes, Portland’s famous “Wow! That’s a lot. I remember when it cost 50 cents.” ...people B TriMet , hen they m’tafford her modes Liz Soots “TriMet set us up the bomb.” Top 40 pop station. .Their claim to fame was the wildly popular “Z100 Morning ZoO,” which was a cheap knock-off of a morning show on New York’s Z100. The main problem with this station, besides the bad music, is they really know how to kill songs. Z100 loves to play the same 20 songs every hour for a week before finding 20 new songs to kill. Then . new morning show, “The Buckhead Show,” completes the circle of filth that surrounds this station. KUFO: There is nothing worse than a bad rock station DJ, and KUFO loves to keep plenty in sup ply. First KUFO had Dogface and Porkchop, two of the most annoying DJs in existence. When KUFO final-, ly gave them foe axe they hired an equally annoying DJ, foe ever popu lar Marconi. When Marconi-was fired from 94.71 was really hoping it would be foe last of him However; KUFO being foe idiots they are just had to pick up this sniveling buffoon. I will say however that I do enjoy KUFO’s show “The Pit” They play some of foe best metal and foe host isn’t a complete hack Other than that this station is just a complete waste. The Wolf and KUPL: Portland’s two wildly popular “country” sta tions. Personally, I don’t consider foe Bryan Adams/Bon Jovi crap they play to be country, but foeir listeners apparently do. Since I don’t listen to either station at all, I really can’t give an opinion on either station. However, KUPL’s slogan, “We spell KGON: Alright! Finally a station country K-U-P-L,” explains enough that I actually enjoy from time to • all ready. time! KGON plays some of foe best Well, there it is. Portland’s most music of all time, and they actually have some decent DJs. popular radio stations in a nutshell One of my only issues vtrifo Hopefully most of these stations will this station is they play too much start putting out good radio, Zeppelin. Don’t get me wrong, Led but that doesn’t seem Zeppelin is a great band but KGON likely given America’s recent fascination goes overboard with them The other problem I have is foeir with bad music. At syndicated morning show. I cannot least we’re not like stand Mark and Brian. They are Germany, listen completely unfunny, and perform ing to David overdone radio bits. I really don’t Hasselhoff understand how this show is even -at least not yet still on foe air. KNRK: I both love and hate this radio station. First off, I really hated this station when Marconi hosted the afternoon show. Marconi is possibly foe worst DJ in foe history of radio, besides Mancow. His show on NRK was filled with juvenile humor and annoying banter between him and his co-hosts Tiny and that annoying British guy. I was so happy when NRK finally canned those losers after they made fun of foe behead ing of an American soldier. Thai was probably the most disgusting and offensive bit ever done on radio. However, nowfoestation has turned foe comer and they have really cleaned up their act. Hopefully they can continue to pro vide Portland with great radio in foe years to come. They just need to cut back on the bad techno, Brit pop and fire Gustav. I hate that trendy hipster. This week's poll com piled by DavidStark, Adam Manley and Alexander Case Clackamas Print S. Molalla Ave. Oregon City, OR 97045 (503) 657-6958 ex. 2309 19600 I The C lackamas Print is a weekly student publication and is distributed every Wednesday except finals week. 3000 Only users lose their financial aid status i Joe Piazzlsl 1I The Clackamas Print The Department., of Education has made some slight changes when it comes to federal financial aid eli gibility. The main eligibil ity changes affect those who have any type of drug charge against them. I would think that the DOE would be a little more wor ried about other offenses, rather than just focus on drug charges. According to the Department of Education a person is eligible for aid if he or she is a convicted felon. In fact, the FAFSA form doesn’t even ask whether the appli cant is a convicted felon or not. So a person could have committed murder or rape and so on and still be eligible for aid. But if that person has been caught with an ounce or more of marijuana, then his eligibility is put into ques tion. A federal law suspends federal student aid eligibility for students convicted under federal or state law of posses sion or sale of illicit drtigs. Of course there are’ vari ances in whether or not a per son is eligible for aid. There is a “.question 31 worksheet” on FAFSA’s web page, at www.fafsa.ed.gov. This work sheet will help determine an applicant’s level of eligibil ity,. if any at all. Persons con victed of possession or sale of illicit substances may be still eligible; there are Drug Rehabilitation programs that the DOE will accept. Also, if the charges are no longer on the applicant’s record or Please see FAFSA, Page 8 Seahawks. See fHawks lose. Lose ‘Hawks, lose!

Wednesday, Feb. 8 When all was said and done and foe confetti and streamers had fallen on Ford Field, there were a lot of people in foe Pacific Northwest who were left with a bad taste in foeir mouth, and it wasn’t just Diet Pepsi and P Diddy that caused it If you are a Seahawks fan, chances are you aren’t going to like what I have to say, oh well, suck it up. There’s no crying in football. Everyone and foeir mom have been complaining about foe offici ating during foe big game. Mike Holmgren remains adamant about foe feet that foe zebras were involved in some sort of conspiracy theory, even erupting at halftime over a controversial touchdown that went against his team. One Seahawk player was even quoted as saying ‘You know, that’s what happens when foe world is against you. No one wanted us to win.” I’m sorry, but is he serious? Talk about taking it to foe extreme and being a sore loser. Sure there were some controversial calls, especially if you were a Seahawks player or fan, but there’s no denying that foe team had its share of mistakes. For instance: Jerramy Stevens, after a week of trash talking with Joey Porter, succeeding in dropping four passes and making himself look like a real idiot in foe process. Josh Brown missed two field goal attempts. There was also Hasselbeck’s ill-advised red zone interception that changed foe entire complexion of foe game. Itwasn’tfoemeninblackand white that allowed Ben Roethlisberger to scramble like a chicken with his head cut off long enough to complete a 37-yard pass to Hines Ward on a third and long play that put them on Seattle’s 1-yard line. It also wasn’t foe referee’s defense that allowed Willie Parker to run relatively untouched for a 75-yard touchdown. Lastly, it wasn’t foe officials that were completely fooled on a reverse trick play that ended with Ward catching a long TD pass from QB-tumed-wide receiver Antwaan Randle El. In Seattle’s defense, foe offen sive pass interference call on Darrell Jackson that nullified foeir first score was pretty bogus. That sort of push- offhappens in most pass receptions, and if he were Jerry Rice that would not have been called. Even with that being said, during foe course of every game there is at E ditor - in -C hief : Ben Maras Copy E ditors : Katie Weinberg, E. E.

The officials are only human after all, even with foe aid of instant replay. What it comes down to is this: Despite what all the Seahawks fans and players would like to argue, foe Steelers were foe better team during this particular Super BowL The game was not fixed. Jerome Bettis did not pay off foe officials so he could ride off on a white horse into foe sunset with foe Lombardi Trophy in his hometown. “The Steelers played well enough to win tonight, and we didn’t They should get credit It’s disappoint ing, it’s hard, but what are you going to do?” said a resigned Matt Hasselbeck. I think Seattle fens and players alike should accept foe defeat like Hasselbeck, and if they can’t, for foeir sake I hope that the ‘Magic Fridge’ really does exist G oals : The C lackamas Print aims to report the news in an honest unbiased, professional manner.
