Despite a second plea to the university's student activity fee board today, the financial future of The Lion WKPS-FM ( 90.7) remains cloudy.

Tom Shakely, the station's financial director, told the board once again that the recent cap of University Park Allocation Committee (UPAC) funding on media production and equipment purchase of $1,800 would not be sufficient for the station's minimum operating budget.

"Not to help us along this path would be a detriment to the student body," Shakely said.

UPAC Chairman Greg Heleniak brought the station's concerns up to the board, to get the members' opinions on whether an exception should be made to accommodate The Lion's situation.
