KU Radio Center Heard Over Nation
KU's radio production center acts as a public relations man.
The programs are a means of spreading the name of the University of Kansas, John Nance, Wichita junior and center worker, said. The programs originating in the basement of Hoch are heard at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. and at Stanford University in California and at many stations in between.
THIS FALL the center is producing programs that are heard from Tennessee to New Mexico. The programs are put on tapes and sent free of charge to member stations. The tapes must be sent back in a week.
Nance said the tapes are sent on an exchange basis to schools and organizations.
The Radio Production Center, organized in 1960, produces public service programs for commercial and college radio stations throughout the nation.
Nance said the Center also records tapes for radio spots in the Lawrence area, and often does information booth announcements for KU events.
THE PURPOSE of the Center, Nance said, is to give students practice in radio work. "It gives a more professional approach to radio production and management," he said.
For the production of the Radio Production Center is done entirely by students. It has expanded from 13-25 station members in 1960 to 120 potential receivers this year. There are almost 50 commercial receivers now.
The types of programs produced vary, Nance said. They range from faculty interviews to programs, explaining in common terms, the position of individuals in certain legal cases.
One of the programs presently being heard in this area is "You and the Weather" done by Fred Bates, professor of meteorology.

During homecoming the Radio Production Center interviewed the ten queen candidates. Last night Karen Vice, 1963 homecoming queen, was featured to get her impressions of the past few days.
With recent developments providing more stations all over the country, the Center workers hope to expand even further by "going international." Nance said there may be a possibility of hooking up with a station in New York City, and then with one overseas. He suggested Radio Free Europe as a possible connection.
