One Digit on Phone Dials KUOK Station
Telephones on the KU campus are subject to an unusual phenomenon.
If a caller dials any one digit on a phone and listens carefully, he will hear student-operated radio station KUOK transmissions during the time it is on the air (4-12 p.m.).
Jim Cormode, Lancaster junior and KUOK engineer, explained that the station sends its signal to five KU residence halls on lines leased from the phone company.
PHONE LINES are attached to transmitters which send radio signals throughout the building.
Cormode said KUOK programs could be heard on the telephone because of what is called "spill" or "leakage." Simply, this is when the KUOK signal crosses into lines that are near its lines in telephone company connection boxes, he said.
"It's not a real problem," he said. "Our signal is a special means of transmission under Federal Communications Commission regulations, and we abide by them."
Station faculty advisor, Robert Brooks, said KUOK could be heard on local phones in past years.
"AS FAR AS we're concerned, these things crop up from time to time. It's usually a phone company problem. We heard about this recent occurrence two nights ago. We're trying to block it out," Brooks said.
Louis Stone, Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. wire chief in Lawrence said the problem was not caused because of phone company equipment.
"They're broadcasting too hot," Stone said. "Their signal is too strong and it's flooding over into the other lines."
He said as far as he knew there was no FCC violation involved.
"WEVE FOUND this happens occasionally at the beginning of the year. Once in a while, if it gets too bad, we have a talk with them and traighten it cut," he said.

Appointments Made For Investigation
Reuben McCornack, Abilene senior and student body president, last night named six students to serve on the "Little Hoover Commission." The special committee was formed to investigate the work of All Student Council committees.
The only position not filled on the committee is that of chairman." McCornack said. "I've talked to a student who I feel would be an excellent choice as chairman, and he is to let me know Thursday."
McCORNACK SAID if the prospective chairman does not accept the position, he will designate one of those now on the commission to fill the post.
Those named to the commission are Bob Steffen, Staten Island, N.Y., graduate student; Bob Stewart, Bartvilleesch, Okla., junior; Bob Tieszen, McPherson senior; Susan Hartley, Atwood junior; Larry Bast, Topeka sophomore and Mike Miner, Lawrence junior.
All are members of the ASC now except Miss Hartley, who is a candidate for election this fall. Steffen, Stewart and Bast are members of University Party and Tieszen, Miner and Miss Hartley of Vox Populi.
McCORNACK said he hopes the "Little Hoover Commission" can complete its investigation within two weeks.
research scientists have come to the University from 22 countries, many of them for a year, some in permanent positions. Every continent except Antarctica is represented.
The favored foreign nation for faculty members this year is Germany, which will receive five of them, followed by England and Israel, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Greece, Italy, France, Spain, India, Japan, the Ivory Coast of Africa, and Central and South America.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences claims the largest numbers of foreign faculty members, particularly in the language departments: German has six, the romance languages five, the Slavic languages four, and the oriental languages, two.
Other departments in the College have faculty members from abroad, including six in chemistry, two in psychology, and one each in botany, physics, political science, geology, philosophy, comparative biochemistry and physiology, and entomology.
