Only in college CVIII

For once, I was glad I wasn't the DJ on the air.  During one of the rare weeks during a semester when I wasn't guest hosting "Blues 101" on KCOU, the DJ who subbed told me that members of a fraternity came down to the station during his show.

"We heard you on the air," one of the frat brothers told him, "so we decided to come down and see what KCOU looks like and what you look like."

If there was any mayhem, I didn't hear about it, but I sympathized with that DJ for having to keep an eye on uninvited guests.  While radio is a public medium, it's meant to be heard, not seen.
