If you weren’t listening on Friday, Kyle Smith successfully DJ’d for 24 hours straight! Though he lost his voice and hasn’t been seen since, we can only assume Kyle is still asleep. Congratulations on the achievement and thank you to everyone who called in to donate, be interviewed, performed or came out to watch Kyle in the Student Center!

Until next year…
