    Kelly just dug this photo up from the University archives:

    Does anyone recognize the CKUW dude on the far right? It looks like a paper plane contest of some kind from back when University was fun. If you know anyone in this picture or are a long lost CKUW Alumni, please make contact and let us know! Were turning 10FM this year and we’d like to celebrate with as many of you as possible.
