Following the success of the Faculty Favorite Album list, KDUP surveyed noteworthy members of the University of Portland staff including Public Safety Director Harold Burke-Sievers, Library Dean Drew Harrington, Bon Appetit's Peter Palmero and The Definite Article co-DJ and Career Services Assistant Director/Employer Relations & Internship Coordinator Max Kalchthaler. Staff Listing after the jump.

Breaking from the usual format of songs suggested by the KDUP staff, this month features a mix tape exclusively from artists that are connected to KDUP in some fashion and a special UP-centric playlist, to be revealed in the April 11 edition of The Beacon. All mix tapes are available for download from the KDUP Tumblr. Track Listings after the jump.

Over the last few weeks, ASUP Senate (Associated Students of the University of Portland) has been running a photo contest.  Clubs receiving funding from ASUP Senate were able to submit a photo of members participating in a event, meeting, or activity. 

Once posted on ASUP's facebook wall, the club that could get the most likes for its photo would win $100 and the  two clubs that received the second and third-most would receive $50 each for their Waldschmidt accounts.

The likes had been counted and KDUP placed 3rd, which means the station has received $50 to its Waldschmidt account.

Thanks for liking our photo and thanks for supporting our events and shows this year!
