Disc jockeys learn on graveyard shift
By KEVIN LOLLAR Staff Reporter
Three o'clock, yesterday. That's three o'clock in the morning. Lawrence is asleep. The campus is asleep. The only sign of life is an occasional campus cop patrolling the snow-covered streets.
But life is beginning to stir in the control room of KJHK radio, FM 91, as program director Duane Dinham, Kansas City, Kan., junior, helps Chris Wright, the station's Monday graveyard jockey, get through his first shift.
Wright, Overland Park sophomore, makes all the rookie mistakes — misreading record labels, turning away from the microphone while he's talking, allowing dead air between songs, wasn't exactly prepared for his first chit.
"I DIDN'T FIND out until two days into school," he says, "I would like to have come into the station to get on the train. Tonight is getting the kinks out."
Dinham says, "That's why we start the new jocks on out the graveyard shift, when not many people are listening. The jocks learn by mistakes. I give them almost a half hour of free time before the end of this shift, he'll start feeling comfortable, and after three or four shifts, it'll be almost second nature."

died concede that one shift a week is
"It if was more than that," he says,
"I would probably try something else on the staff. But I would stay at the station."
ONE THING THAT makes Writer willing to work from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. every Monday, although he's not planning to go into broadcasting after he gets a diploma in education, is the station's progressive attitude.
Dinh exampls, "We play stuff that other stations don't touch. That's why we call ourselves 'the sound alternative.' Some of the music contains some glaring obscenities, or should we say blarring obscenities? We do have a rule that we play no obscenities until after we finish playing and pluperply up to the jocks what they play. We're an alternative to other radio stations."
Wright's own attitude toward music in another reason he agreed to work the film is that he feels
"I think that music is an important part of my life," he says. "It has a message. It has changed from just a fun type of thing. It's a statement. It's our generation saying something. It's important to our society, important enough that I'd like to learn more about it. This is one way to learn more."

Arbiter recommends lower gas hike to lure the University as a customer
By SHARON BODIN Staff Reporter
For Lawrence residential and commercial natural gas customers, the effects of a recommended rate increase for the local gas company hinge on whether the University of will be a regular gas customer.
At a Lawrence City Commission study session yesterday, an arbiter hired by the city recommended a lower rate increase than Kansas Public Service Gas Co. had requested. The rate increase would not need to be as high if KU were a regular customer. the arbiter said.
KU is now using fuel oil instead of natural gas, and the amount of fuel used to make KU's products
The rate increase recommended by
airbners Dunn & Caa is $331,460 and
Kansas Public Service Co. Inc.,
the gas company, will retain $167,101 of that amount. KPS requested a
payment of $363,41 of which it would retain
University depends on whether KU switches back to natural gas or continues to use the currently cheaper fuel oil.
KU IS THE LARGEST consumer of natural gas in the city. It is also an interruptible customer that can be disconnected to receive gas when KPS has a shortage.
In its rate design, Drees Dunn & Co included KU as a buyer, receiving gas at a base rate equal to KPS' cost of gas plus 10 cents per thousand cubic
This 10 cents above the cost to KPS is a base rate or "floor" for the price of supplying gas to KU and is designed to encourage KPS to maintain the KU load or suffer the lost income, according to a report submitted to City Commission members by the arbiter.
THE ARBITER ALSO recommended a ceiling price to KU of 40 cents above the cost of the gas to KPS per thousand cubic feet.
If KPS sells gas to KU at the floor price of 10 cents above its cost, the percent increase to residential customers would be 6.59 percent.
of KPS in selling gas to KU at the competitive rate the report stated
If KPS sells gas to KU at 40 cents above its cost, residential customers will only pay 5.35 percent higher gas bills.
"If the gas company does not maintain KU as a customer, they will be penalized $55,000 a year," Louis F. Drees told the City Commission yesterday. He also said that if KU had been kept as a customer all last year there would be no need for a rate increase.
BECAUSE KU BUYS oil by submitting bids through the state government, which takes the cheapest bid, he said, KPS cannot try to underbid the price of oil.
Mayor David Longhurst and the other commissioners agreed with the report and said that it was necessary to keep KU as a KPS customer.
