KAW radio may resume service
Proposed FCC law helps small stations
By T.J. Johnson Kansan staff writer
The Federal Communications Commission proposed a law last week that would allow low-powered radio stations such as Lawrence's KAW to operate without breaking the law.
If passed, the law would allow stations operating with one to 1,000 watts to be licensed to operate legally.
Last year, Lawrence's KAW 88.9 community radio station ran into legal trouble with the FCC because it was operating without a license. The station had been operating with 10 watts of power, but 100 watts were required to be licensed.
KAW was visited by agents from the FCC during the year, and a petition drive was coordinated in the community to keep the station alive.
Rich Wenzel, a volunteer for KAW, said he and the other people who run KAW had been doing in-depth legal research about the regulations regarding licensing before they would put the station back on the air
Last June, the FCC licensed a Christian radio network to broadcast on the frequency KAW had been using, forcing the station off the air.
—With no Without teacher, the attorney Dennis Highberger, the attorney representing KAW, said he thought the station would try to apply for a license from the FCC, depending on what the new regulations stated.
Wenzel said, "I think that one of the
If a community radio station is licensed, the community alone should be able to transfer that license to another community-oriented station. This would help to protect community stations that could be licensed, Wenzel said.
key things about the new regulations is whether there will be adequate priority and protection for community programming."
He said community stations should be protected from large commercial stations, which could try to buy them out.
Wenzel said that he thought that when determining which station should be given a specific frequency, the FCC should use the criteria used in countries such as Japan and Canada. The station that provides the best content and community service would be awarded the license.
He said translator stations, which relay satellite programming to multiple stations across the country, now are given the same protection as local commercial stations, leading to a crowded FM dial. The station that bumped KAW off the air is a translator station.
Wenzel said KAW had a new and undisclosed location that would provide better coverage of the Lawrence area.
He also said that the station would apply for a license either before the new regulations were passed or after, if the laws seemed fair to community radio stations.
KAW will have a programming meeting at 4:30 p.m. Sunday in the basement of Liberty Hall.
The fate of KAW?
March 1997 — KAW goes on the air, offering alternative community programming.
Oct. 1997 — FCC visits KAW, issuing a warning to the station.
June 1998 — KAW goes off the air.
Nov. 1997 California judge rules that the FCC laws requiring licensing of microstations are unconstitutional.
Feb. 7, 1999 — KAW programming meeting at Liberty Hall.

Museum showcases '60s music and films
By Matt Merkel-Hess Special to the Kansan
Students who are interested in learning about '60s pop culture and political issues can attend a series of events at the Spencer Museum of Art on upcoming Wednesdays.
George Heller, professor of music education, will present the music of the '60s at 3:30 p.m. today.
"It is an incredibly diverse collection of music," Heller said. "I'm going to do a survey as best I can in 45 minutes."
The presentation will focus on the Billboard Top 40, which Heller said had a great effect on everyone.
Although Heller has taught a course about rock 'n' roll, in addition to music education and world music in the past, he now is on phased retirement and teaches only during fall semesters.
Heller also is writing a book about music education.
The presentations were coordinated by the public education department at the museum. Future topics include women's studies, American pop culture and literature.
"We designed these for students," said Pat Villeneuve, the public education director at the museum. "We really tried to do a

lot of programming with this exhibit. We're trying to represent many facets of the '60s and not just stereotype."
The art museum also has a Saturday afternoon film series that continues this weekend. Goldfinger, the 1964 James Bond movie will be shown at 2 p.m.at the art museum auditorium.
"We started with a list of films we wanted to show," Villeneuve said. "But a number of the films weren't available on 16 mm film or any format."
Villeneuve said it was difficult to pick six films that represent a decade.
The movies will continue each Saturday until March 6.
Study abroad in Israel to be focus of meeting
By Dan Curry
Kansan staff writer
A new route to Israel for KU students will be unveiled at 6 tonight at Rudy's Pizzeria, 704 Massachusetts St.
Moshe Margolin, director of the Tel Aviv University study-abroad program, will dine with members of Hillel and discuss the first study-abroad program between the University of Kansas and Tel Aviv Univer-
D a n a Blecher, Jewish Campus Services Corps fellow, said that anyone interested in finding out about the program was invited to attend the event
Office of Study Abroad, 108 Lippincott Hall, by Monday, March 15. There is a $50 application fee.
Pritchett said students may receive transcript credit of up to 8 hours of classes, including an honors course at Tel Aviv, an archaeology dig, or a kibbutz program mini-course.
A kibbutz is a form of communal living unique to Israel, said Pritchett, who visited one last year.
"I think it's a great program because it's being set up so that it is not just for Jewish students."

"I think it's a
great program because it's being set up so that it's not just for Jewish students," she said. "It's for everyone."
The study-abroad program is called "Israel: From Ancient Land to Modern State."
To qualify, students must have a 3.25 grade point average or be an active participant in the honors program. Students do not need to speak Hebrew.
The program costs about $3,600, which includes tuition, lodging and some meals. It does not include airfare, said Beau Pritchett, study-abroad adviser.
Applications are due at the
Members of a kibbutz traditionally produce a single product to support the community, he said.
"The one I visited was about 300 people." Pritchett said. "They sold auto parts." Pritchett said the members of the kibbutz he visited did not have indi-
and shared necessities.
In conjunction with dinner and talk, David Leichman, a resident at Kibbutz Gezer, Israel, who is currently traveling in the United States, will give a presentation titled, "The Kibbutz as a Social Phenomenon" on 8 p.m. at Nunemaker Center.
The Office of Study Abroad, Hillel, and the honors program are sponsoring the presentation.
More information is available at the Office of Study Abroad or at the Study Abroad Fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today in the Kansas Union.
