FRIDAY,MARCH 28.2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A Officers arrest war protesters The Associated Press NEW YORK -About 215 protesters were arrested yesterday after they lay down on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, blocking traffic in the latest of a series of demonstrations against the war. Most of those arrested at the "die-in" face charges of disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration, police said. Anti-war groups had called for civil disobedience, hoping to draw more attention than the largely lawful protests held daily in the city since hostilities began in Iraq. "Nothing else gets attention," Fordham University student Johannah Westmacott said as she jotted down officers' badge numbers. The "die-in" was intended to symbolize Iraqi war victims, said organizers of M27, the ad-hoc coalition behind the event. It was one of a number of scattered demonstrations yesterday in New York as part of a "no business as usual" protest theme. A dozen people demonstrated outside Tiffany & Co., and five were arrested after a scuffle with police near CNN's offices. At the Fifth Avenue protest, officers arrested those who refused to rise. They cuffed many with plastic restraints before half-carrying them into waiting police trucks. As helicopters hovered overhead, the protesters some beating drums chanted "Hey-hey, ho-ho, Bush's war has to go" and "Peace now!" They were sporadically heckled by passing businessmen and construction workers. Student-produced shows to fill airtime By Eddie Yang eyang@kansan.com Kansan staff writer KUJH-TV is developing new programming after the station lost the All News Channel in October 2002. Gary Hawke, KUJH general manager, said the station was calling its new programming "The Legends of KU." In addition to its current news and sports broadcasts, KUJH is launching new shows with formats similar to shows on ESPN Classic, A&E, the History Channel and C-SPAN, he said. New programs on the station include a sketch comedy show entitled Off the Wall, a film show called Out of Focus, a talk show and a MTV-style Cribs show. Out of Focus has premiered, and Hawke said he expected the other three to air within a few weeks. The station has also been replaying past Kansas men's basketball games. "We receive a lot of help from INTERNET·TV AT VIRTUAL LAN Peter Cropper, KU graduate and Lawrence resident, said he enjoyed watching the old basketball games on the station. "They cut out all of the commercials, so watching an entire game doesn't take that long," Cropper said. "It's also nice to see Drew in the blue again." After the station lost the All News Channel, the station decided to try to come up with the programming to fill the time Hawke said. "The station technically is a commercial station. Hopefully we will receive some revenue down the line." Gary Hawke KUJH-TV general manager "We are always looking for student-produced stuff to air," Hawke said. "We won't have any music video shows, and comedy is very hard to do." Matt Jacobson, assistant professor of theater and film, said the show Out of Focus, started by Chris Martin, Prairie Village senior, gave film students new opportunities. "Now students can produce a film that can be seen by a large community where as before many students didn't see the work of these student filmmakers."Jacobson said. The students are thrilled to get a response, he said. "Before the show, the student films were screened at the end of semester screening and some went to the KAN film festival," Jacobson said. Hawke said students interested in developing a show would have to contact the station, write a proposal and make a pilot. He said the station had been working with film majors to broadcast their work. "The station technically is a commercial station," Hawke said. "Hopefully we will receive some revenue down the line." KUJH airs on channel 14 in Lawrence and channel 68 in Overland Park, and on channel 66 on Sunflower Cablevision in Lawrence and Eudora.

The segment, about a pig that was raised by a dog, was picked up to air on the Animal Planet channel April 17. Sinclair said it was rewarding to have something that she had originally just worked on for a class air nationally. By Kevin Wiggs kwiggs@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Occasionally, an assignment can get a student more than just a grade. For University of Kansas journalism students Zach Lee and Megan Sinclair, an ordinary assignment got them on national television. "You turn something in, you get it graded, and you think that's it." Sinclair said. Last semester Lee, Highland Park, Ill., senior, and Sinclair, Wichita senior, taped a television package in their TV News I class about a pig that acted like a dog. The package will be shown on the Animal Planet channel on the show Amazing Animal Videos. It will air at 9 p.m. Thursday, April 17, on Sunflower Broadband channel 40. "I'll make my friends watch it and maybe pop some bubbly." "It's a little strange because it was the first package we made on the second day of lab," Lee said. "I didn't know how big a deal it is." The pair got the idea from a blurb in the Lawrence Journal World and drove for 45 minutes Megan Sinclair Wichita state about her assignment that will be aired on Animal Planet to Rantoul in east central Kansas. The pig, named Wiggles, grew up on a farm owned by Don and Nellie Davis. It was put into the same holding pen as the dogs, and the mother dog, named Clementine, began nursing it. Before long, the pig acted exactly like one of the puppies. "The pig is now a dog," Lee said. "He even fetches and plays with the other dogs." Soon after making the package, Termite Art Productions, a company that finds and produces packages for television networks, contacted Dick Nelson, KUJH-TV newsroom supervisor and teacher of Lee and Sinclair's class, about putting the pig story on Animal Planet. "It's certainly unexpected," Nelson said. "It was a little early in their career to be doing a package like that, but they had such good material that they did the project." Nelson said the production company paid $150 for the package. The check was enough to cover Lee and Sinclair's production costs. Both students have made plans to watch their piece on national television next month. "I'm going to tape it because it'll be good for my résumé," Sinclair said. "I'll make my friends watch it and maybe pop some bubbly." — Edited by Ryan Wood lookin' for the best place to watch the game?
