The University has given KJHK until fall 2009 to relocate their station because the studio does not meet building codes. The station is asking Student Senate to contribute $75,000 to the proposed $245,200 remodel project in the Kansas Union. The money would come from the Student Senate Reserve Account, which has nearly $360,000.
