"We read it with interest and we had no strong reaction to it," Gillis said. "We understood the reasons for the way it was expressed." The resolution also expresses unhappiness with the KTRU management in dealing with the two student DJs who simultaneously broadcast music and a women's basketball game. "We are disappointed by the conduct of the student management of KTRU and we regret that more decisive action was not taken," the resolution stated. DJ Director Sarah Pitre said she believes the resolution was fairly presented and represented the wide range of student opinions. "I think if the SA hadn't acknowledged some role for KTRU in what happened, it would have been a lot more biased, personally," Pitre, a Wiess College senior, said. "I know a lot of DJs that were there [at the SA meeting Monday] were just concerned that the voices expressed at [Sunday's] student forum would be taken into account, and I feel like they were." SA President Lindsay Botsford said she, too, felt the resolution represented most students' feelings. "It reflected some concerns that KTRU didn't act in a professional manner, and other concerns that the administration went further than they should have," she said. "The senate needs to reflect how everyone feels, and it seemed to be the only thing we could say and it turned out to be a really strong statement." Pitre added that she was glad the SA Senate was so willing to pass a resolution in reaction to the shutdown. "KTRU was really glad the SA wanted to pass a resolution," Pitre said. "I think everyone was satisfied that the SA even put out a resolution about this." Gillis said the university plans to respond to the resolution's demand for an explanation "of the manner in which the shutdown was handled and why the Student Senate was bypassed in the process." However, Gillis said there were other issues on the campus which were also important. "Running a university involves a lot of things, and we have got to get back to trying to do those things," he said. Botsford said she expects the administration to respond to the demand. "I haven't heard anything yet, and I'll be checking into that," she said. "But we have the backing of the student body in this."
