College Series - Loyola Marymount

Haven't posted any colleges for a while, and in this month of college graduations, perhaps I should.

My niece just graduated from Loyola Marymount (LMU), located in Los Angeles.  She was (and still is) a deejay for the campus radio station, KXLU, which she tells me is known as one of the best campus radio stations in the country.  I take her word for it!  One thing the station is known for is a program "Demolistens", in which only demo tapes are played.  The station claims it was the first to air the music of more than a few of today's top bands.  (Here's a link to my niece's  play lists.)

For spring vacation, each year for four years, my niece would bring a friend or two and come stay with us in San Francisco.  On the last visit, with two of her radio station pals, Ali and Pascal, they left me a KXLU snuggie.  It's black with a tasteful, if too small, KXLU logo on it.   One of the best house guest presents of all time!

Two More Colleges & Universities

My niece attends Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles. She is the music director of the campus radio station, and absolutely loves it there. This must be a photo of graduation. She sent this to me as a thank you note after she and two friends came and stayed with us during spring break. We had a blast.

I don't know anyone attending the Citadel, but one of the college students to whom I send postcards attends the College of Charleston, and she's met a bunch of guys from the Citadel. Between that and playing on a women's rugby team, she's having a pretty good time. I also sent her a copy of my old "Women's Rugby Songbook". A total relic, but pretty funny. I think she liked it.
