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

That’s a lot.

when it cost
50 cents.”

“TriMet set

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

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

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.

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

If you are a Seahawks fan, chances

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

only human after all, even with foe
aid of instant replay.
What it comes down to is this:

and players would like to argue, foe

The game was not fixed. Jerome
Bettis did not pay off foe officials so
he could ride off on a white horse into

in his hometown.
“The Steelers played well enough
to win tonight, and we didn’t They

ing, it’s hard, but what are you

I think Seattle fens and players
