The Concordia Student Union is holding their elections on March 25, 26, and 27. The ballot will include a referendum question asking whether future decisions about funding for groups like CJLO should be taken by the students of individual faculties rather than by the student body at large, which is currently the case.

Our Board of Directors and staff at CJLO are endorsing the "NO" campaign against this question. Check out the "NO" campaign's website and Facebook page for more information.

Here's the statement from the Board:
 

CJLO 1690AM, Concordia University's campus/community radio station, with the Concordia Student Broadcasting Corporation, recognize the important role that fee levy groups play on campus. By offering services and opportunities that the university doesn't offer, these non-profit corporations provide important resources to students, as well as training and employment opportunities to further prepare them for future job prospects. We urge all students to continue their support for these fee levy groups and what they offer to all students, and to continue to facilitate access to these services to their friends and classmates, regardless of faculty affiliation. On March 25th, 26th and 27th, vote NO to per-faculty fee levies and keep those services available to ALL students!

CJLO is honored to have "Canada's hardest-working combo" The Souljazz Orchestra join Beat The World this Saturday, March 15th from noon to 2pm EST. The Ottawa-based multicultural collective returns with another great album called Inner Fire, released on UK-based Strut Records. A melting pot explosion of Soul, Jazz, Afro, Latin, and Caribbean rhythms have formed The Souljazz Orchestra into an in-demand fixture at venues and festivals worldwide.

Tune in to Champions of the Local Scene Wednesday, March 12th at 6 PM for a live session and interview with up-and-coming Montreal act The Nostalgia Factory!

The Nostalgia Factory, the moniker used by 21-year-old Montreal musician/composer Jessie-Jamz Ozaeta, is a solo project that started as a hobby, but later evolved into a more serious and personal journey of self-discovery. "I like to describe much of my music as cinematic and instrumental because I find my strong point musically is providing textures of sound that they can be interpreted both sonically and visually." Jessie has experimented with many genres, recording music ranging from metal, ambient/drone, folk, instrumental hip hop, post-rock, and shoegaze. His work includes a concept album based on Dante's Inferno, summer, autumn, and winter (that's SO Montreal!), and the score for the short film entitled A Collection of Failed Love Stories (2013), directed by Concordia film student Terry Chiu.
