CAMPUS AND AREA University Daliv Kansan, March 6, 1984 Page 7 Robert R. Waddill/KANSAN Work began yesterday to erect this new tower on West Campus for KANU-FM. More than a year ago, the station's tower collapsed after vandals cut three of 24 support cables. Work begins on KANU's new tower By TODD NELSON Staff Reporter Construction began yesterday on a new tower that will restore KANU-FM to full broadcasting power, 13 months after vandals topped the station's 605-foot tower. Al Berman, director of development at KANU, estimated that construction might be completed within 10 days if the project is approved. "Everbody's been very cautious, but it looks like finally it's going to happen," he said. "We're overjoyed that the construction is finally started. We just hope that people can hold on a little longer." BUT BERMAN HESITATED to make promises about when the tower would be finished because several setbacks had already delayed construction of the new tower, including the failure of a steel beam that allowed the station to broadcast at reduced power. The setbacks have flattened staff morale and have delayed the station's annual Campaign for Excellence fund-raising drive, which traditionally takes place in late February or early March. Berman said that the Campaign for Excellence would probably happen about three weeks after the tower was dismantled. Workers for the subcontractor that will erect the new tower, Jerry Barrens Construction Group, based in California, began laying out the steel sections for the new tower on the West Campus construction site Sunday. Painting also began Sunday. Berman said, and workers started stacking the sections of the tower yesterday. Construction has been delayed several times while KANU waited for RCA Corp., of Camden, N.J., to deliver the station's new antenna. Berman said. The station ordered th DECEMBER BERMAN SAID THAT KANU was considering taking legal action against RCA to recover damages incurred while waiting for the antenna. A 100-foot tower borrowed from KCUR-FR, a Kansas City public radio station, and an antenna donated by RCA have allowed the station to broadcast at 8.3 kilowatts, far below its normal 110 kilowatt level, since the tower's destruction, Berman said that contributions from listeners, many of whom live in Topeka or Kansas City and cannot receive the low-power broadcasts, had helped to pay the estimated $20,000 cost of broadcasting with the borrowed equipment. Bernhard said. Broadcasting has been limited to Douglas County, but the station normally has a broadcast radius of about 85 miles from Lawrence. Last March, KANU received a $134,000 settlement from the Insurance Company of North America. The settlement covered only the cost of replacing the tower. Berman said, and not the expenses involved in running the station at KANUS TROUBLES BEGAN Dec. 11, 1982, when vandals cut three of the tower's 24 support cables and the tower collapsed. The station was off the air for a week before the terrace was repaired equipment from KCUR and demurged. Berman said On March 31, KANU selected Bethlehem Tower Works of Harrison, Ark., to rebuild KANU's broadcast tower by June. Westfall Tower Service, Inc., of Fort Smith, Ark., had been the subcontractor for erecting the tower. Barsness Construction Group replaced Westfall as the subcontractor in May, Berman said, although he did not know why the change was made.

Mark remembers how difficult it was for him to stop smoking marijuana. Mark, who asked that his last name not be used, said he started the group because when he was trying to stop smoking, he found the support of his friends helpful and thought others might also find support helpful. THE SUPPORT GROUP offers an alternative to conventional drug rehabs. The attendance at the first meeting was more than he had expected but less than he had hoped for. The people who were excited about the group, he said. Four people attended the first meeting of the support group at Headquarters Inc., 1602 Massachusetts St. , Sunday night, Mark said. He said they discussed the direction the group would take, and they also discussed some "positive aspects of smoking marijuana." Mark said he had smoked marijuana almost everyday for seven years until his death. He said the next meeting was planned for 6.30 p.m. Saturday at Headquarters. The group offers a non-clinical approach, be said. "Everyone could get help and give others help at the same time," he said. "It gives everyone the chance to give a little bit of expert advice." Larry Carter, assistant director of Headquarters, said, "Though the group is not formally connected with Headquarters, it's compatible with what we IF THE SITUATION arises, he said, Headquarters may refer people who want to quit smoking marijuana to the groun. Carter also said that people who were interested in the support group could call Headquarters, which would refer them to the group. Mark said the reason for the referral system was to ensure that everyone had access to the data. "Everything will be on first-name basis at least until trust is formed." Mark said he had stopped smoking because he worried about the long term effects. People can even use a different first name if that makes them feel more comfortable, Mark said, but so far every member has used his own name. "One of the consequences is you're less motivated," he said. This loss of motivation has been proven scientifically, he said. "People are less able to handle issues that have an emotional content," he said. "Some people just want to get a lesson and remember what they learned." And during the seven years Mark used marijuana, he said, it hampered his emotional growth. Longtime city businessman dies at 68 By the Kansan Staff Memorial services for Mr. Robert S.
