"Spotlighting the news". The second voice is ominous and dramatic, similar to that well known radio voice which says, "The March of Time!" This is something new. It has been only during the past two years that KFKU has changed from a station, which did nothing but give language lessons and lectures, to a modern institution where listeners can hear a variety of programs which range from student written dramatics to sports comment
In its original conception, KFKU was to be a part of the Extension Division and its object was to handle publicity for the University, tention Division and its object has The station is still part of the Ex-remained the same, but its methods have changed considerably.

Films Featured This Week
The films to be featured tomorrow will be of general interest to students of the Summer Session. The group will include "Trees to Tribune" which shows the process of making paper from the time the trees are cut until the newspaper is on the street, and "Evolution" which deals with the development of all kinds of life.
A series of motion pictures will be shown for summer sessionites at 2 p.m. tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday afternoons in Fraser theater.
The University of Kansas radio station, KFKU, presented 641 different programs in the 199.5 hours it was on the air the year just closed, according to the report just compiled by Mildred I. Seaman, assistant program director. On 138 occasions, two minutes of University news flashes were inserted in the programs.
The pictures to be shown on Thursday will be of particular interest to teachers of biology, physiology, and general science. Those on Friday will be of special interest to social science teachers.
The University of Kansas station is, of course, primarily an educational station, but has its measure of entertainment from the various music organizations of the campus, and also dramatic presentations.
Of the strictly educational programs, the series of talks on choosing a vocation aruosed the most interest. No less than 50 Kansas schools wrote that they were following the course, and many urged a similar series next year. Deans or heads of departments presented the talks in this series.
These shows are free to the public.
The University station is one of few in the United States offering instruction in three foreign languages. The past year, reports indicate, the
