But first, we'd like to tell you what goes on behind the sticker-plastered door in a corner of the Rice Memorial Center.KTRU 91.7FM is Rice's 50,000-watt student-run radio station, broadcasting 24 hours a day, seven days a week. With 63 undergrads, 12 grad students, 5 faculty and staff and 14 alumni, KTRU is one of the largest student organizations on campus, and among the most electrically-powerful and musically-influential college stations in the country.
