I want to do a show, not clean their studio and sort their mail. 
Thanks anyway. Maybe I'll still try to apply.
Yeah well that's the process. The upside is just as long as you stay within your format, you have that slot for life.. they don't impede on your show or force you to do things.. just as long as you stick within the radio station mandate, you're sailing. Most campus community stations are bound to have non-commercial operating mandates, so because there's no pressure to make money, there is a ton of freedom to do what you want. Compare that to having a slot at a commercial station, where if you don't perform money wise, you're out on the street along with the last Mariah CD. The downside is, the volunteer process -but this ensures everyone in the community has equal status when applying, and it's not as bad as you may think.
This reminds me of something funny. One day while in the station office, these two guys walked in from (what was back then) Energy 108, and basically in a few more words, expected to be handed a radio slot just becuase they worked at a commercial station despite being directed to the volunteer signup sheet on in the lobby.
