WMUA at UMass has mostly students on the air, though there are a few others.  Most of the 
non-students are alums who remained in or returned to the area.  There may be a few others. 
 I believe there is at least one professor, who is also a faculty advisor to the station.  They 
rely especially on the non-students in the area to keep the station on the air during the 
summer and other college vacations.  Back in the 1960s, when I was a student, the station 
would go off the air during school vacations.  In fact, it was while I was there that the station 
first tried to be on during the summer.
