Dear Technician readers,

Several days ago, I gave an interview for Technician about the recent event put on by the Union Activities Board, Student Government, and WKNC. In this interview, I made some cursory, and very misleading, statements about our University’s involvement with the New York-based nonprofit Rock Can Roll.

UAB was contacted by the NY charity and was notified that our event was using their name; they were in no way upset, displeased, or offended by our efforts. Our event and their group strive for the same goals as we did: providing sustenance for the less fortunate in a fun and easy way. The folks at rock Can roll, Inc. did not issue any sort of “cease and desist” rather, they expressed their desire for our University to foster a partnership with their organization in the future.

General Manager, WKNC-FM
