There was an election of officers and sophomore Konner Zimmerman was elected as president. It was also around this time that the radio station was approved to become an official organization and be a part of SGA. Two different posters were selected to be distributed the first week after spring break. It also had to include the radio station’s slogan “88.1 the Grizz” and have the only requirement to get in which was to bring their Butler ID. ![]() The poster had to include the theme, time, date and location. Students in the class got an opportunity to design the poster and vote for the best one among as a group. The station moved the dance a week early to April 20 to avoid issues with people not attending and to participate in Spring Fling as well. Originally, they had scheduled the dance to be on Thursday, April 27, but Student Government Association (SGA) had a planned Spring Fling on that day and at the same time as the Luau Dance. Picking the date was the next thing on the agenda to plan for. Everyone liked the luau theme and brainstorming ideas over what type of decorations and activities there would be that connected to the theme, like limbo contests, leis and blow up palm trees. Someone from the promotions team shared two different themes, a pajama party or a luau dance. The Applied Radio class met every Wednesday from 11 to11:55 a.m., and they knew they had to plan a theme and come up with ideas for their next dance. Planning for the next dance started in early February. The result of this event motivated the promotions team to do a better job for the next dance. A lot of students could not attend because of the amount of homework they had due the next day or because of early morning classes. This can be blamed on the fact that the event lacked promotion up until the week of the dance and because the dance took place on a Thursday nearing the end of the semester. The last dance was on December 1 and was called “Final Freeze Out.” The turnout was a huge disappointment for what was anticipated since less than 10 people showed up, which means there was more staff than actual students who attended. This is the second year the radio station has hosted two dance parties at the end of each semester. However, some students are not on scholarship and only take the class as an extra elective. The class has 22 students, and the majority of them are on the Radio/TV scholarship. The event was organized by the promotions team, which is filled by students in Applied Radio. About 40 people showed up to the Luau Dance, which was a major increase from the last dance. ![]() The event took place at the Welcome Center on the El Dorado campus from eight to 11 p.m. When he’s not watching “cat TV,” Tom enjoys blasting My Bloody Valentine, New Order, Joy Division, and the Black Keys at obscure hours of the night.KBTL, the radio station at Butler, held the first of its planned annual Luau Dance parties on Thursday, April 20 to bring about recurring traditions for the students to become more involved and to cultivate itself into Butler student activities. So if you’re walking outside The Big Room Bar and see an angry-looking, bearded man dressed in all black and riding a skateboard…yep…that’s Tom Butler. Tom also regularly tears up the streets of Columbus on his skateboard. His love for local music came from jamming in bands for over thirty years.Īmong his many musical talents, Tom also has the ability to subsist on nothing but pizza and Pepsi (which is pretty amazing, honestly). Known around Columbus as the local music guru, Tom keeps the CD 92.9 FM airwaves fresh with talent grown right here in the capital city. ![]() Under the mentorship of the legendary Andyman, Tom quickly moved up from intern to overnight host and is now our favorite evening DJ. However, if you can make him laugh, he suddenly becomes this jovial, animated skater dude who will talk your ear off about an underground band you have never heard of.
