Hellohello & Welcome to the Morning Show on radiolaurier.com
If you are wondering where the title comes from, this is how DJ ScottyG orders his drinks at Starbucks! He really makes a mark where ever he goes.
WLUSU Presidential candidate Jenny Solda joined us for the show today and answered some hard hitting questions. If she was to get an exotic animal for a pet, it would be a Honey Badger! Check out this little creatures. In the situational questions, she helped a baby fox and cooked CP a lovely dinner with limited supplies, complete with a spinach and candle pathway. We evaluated her outfit, it was classic and very put together. If you see her on campus today, let her know she looks great! In our rapid fire round, she said her favourite day at the DH is thursday & her favourite off-campus bar is phils (on campus is WILF's!).

The Hardcore News
The Circle Pit has a new weekly segment that I have been very excited about. The HC News is now a weekly occurrence and you can count on being informed about all important news in the HC world.
This past week, we played the brand new I Am Abomination track entitled Hangin On'. Head over to iTunes and purchase that track if you haven't already. Also next week we will be playing some brand new Enter Shikari, which lately I have been really stoked on. See you next week!

To Hipster Or Not To Hipster
That is the question... however the reason I pose it is because this week on The Butters Show is all about those bands you probably haven't heard of. I decided to do this segment not to show that I like some bands just because no one else has heard of them (a hipster would pride themselves on this), but it is to get some airtime to otherwise unknown or emerging artists.With bands such as The Zolas, The Wooden Sky, Paper Lions, and The Junction making an appearance on the musical rotation, this week's show will be sure to open up some new avenues of musical taste. Also on this week's show is weird news stories, more music news and concert announcements, quirky facts, and a follow up discussion on last week's spot on SOPA.
Dedicated to playing everything indie, indie rock, rock, post-grunge, and yes... even a little metal from time to time - The Butters Show is sure to grab your musical attention. You can catch the show every Thursday from 12-1pm for the rest of the semester.
Check out the show's official Facebook page to leave all your requests and any feedback is always appreciated:

The Girls Club! 01/25/12
This morning began with a LOVELY visit from Keystone Managing Editor Klara! She told us that business is usual at the Keystone, but she had a little personal drama when she fell on ice yesterday. We hope she makes a speedy recovery.
It was Day Two of our mini-debates between the WLUSU presidential candidates, featuring the two females Jenny Solda and Zahra Sultani, as well as a representative from Laurier Student Polls. Yesterday, Nolan Kreis and Michael Onabolu enchanted us with their personalities and platforms. The LSP article today discussed the issues that motivate students to vote, so we asked the candidates about their big issues and action plans on how they plan to deal with them. Both candidates revealed how much work they have put into these platforms by speaking about a variety of issues, including study space, internet, and student experience at both Waterloo and Brantford.
For their biggest challenge, Zahra believes injecting new ideas onto this campus will improve student engagement, while Jenny wants to make sure WLUSU is doing its best for all students at both campuses.
Seriously, how will we choose between these enchanting individuals?
GET INFORMED!

The Boys Club 01/24/2012
Today on the Morning Show we had three very special guests discussing the upcoming WLUSU election.
First, we were joined by Darcy, one of our friends at Laurier Student Poll (you can find them on Facebook and twitter @LaurierPollster) to tell us all about the results of their early bird pre-poll analysis. This year’s candidates are Nolan Kreis, Michael Onabolu, Jenny Solda and Zahra Sultani. Not only are there two female candidates running, but Brantford also has representation. I was completely shocked by many of the statistics presented in the report, which are based on a student survey conducted around both the Waterloo and Brantford Laurier campuses on January 19th and 20th. Although these results are VERY early and there is a potential to overstate what voters are thinking, it still yielded some interesting figures. For example, 64% of people polled are undecided about who they are voting for, but almost 66% could not name a single candidate. That is a LOT of people the candidates need to reach and then win over to get their vote!
Have I become obsessed with the democratic process and statistical analysis of public opinion?
Next, candidates Nolan Kreis and Michael Onabolu came into the studio to discuss their platforms live on air and I was hoping they would engage in a little debate. I didn’t think it was too much to ask for a little scandal, but guys had such admiration for each other it was basically impossible to put them at odds. Since their work has been focused on different campuses during their time at Laurier, they have the same overall goals that center on student engagement and satisfaction. When one would explain his point, the other would work off of it to further expand on their own commitment to the students of Wilfrid Laurier University. Nolan and Michael are genuinely nice guys. When asked about their competition, both acknowledged that they aim to do their best, and do not really focus on what others are doing. But did highlight some of the strong points in the platforms of the other candidates, applauded their confidence to run for such an esteemed position and hoped that no matter who gets elected, they will do what is best for Laurier students.
How are we supposed to make up our minds?
Michael and Nolan advised all students to GET INFORMED. Read their platforms, contact them via social media or even when they are campaigning around campus. Understand what issues affect you, and what changes you would like to see at Laurier to arrive at the right decision.
Now on to the next, Jenny and Zahra will be joining us TOMORROW at 10am. Check it.

P.S. They also taught me how to properly use the emergency poles that are all over campus. Take note of where they are next time you are walking around campus so that you can keep running to different poles away from danger.
There is one in the parking lot of King Street Res near the WLUSP offices!
