KANU Broadcasts to Serve Educational Function in Area
By ROZANNE ATKINS
Persons living within a 70-mile radius of Lawrence this fall are having a brand new experience in radio listening now that KU's new high-power FM station, KANU, has taken to the air.
The programs broadcasted over KANU are designed to serve an educational function throughout this area.
Under present plans, the station will broadcast on a regular schedule every day but Saturday. The broadcast day will begin at 1:45 p.m. and end at 9:15 p.m.
Many of the programs currently planned for the station will feature music contained in the University station's $7,000 library of longplaying recordings. This music ranges from folk songs to chamber music, and includes performances by the outstanding artists of our time.
Another program source from which the station will draw is the tape network of the National Association of Educational Broadcasters. Among programs from this network which will be heard on KANU is a series produced in the New York studies of the network called the "Jeffersonian Heritage," featuring Claude Rains as Thomas Jefferson.
Other programs to be presented on KANU include broadcasts originally presented over the British Broadcasting corporation. Among these is the hour-long "BBC World Theater" to be presented twice weekly.
Saturdays the station will broadcast only for football games and special events. KANU will originate all KU varsity sports events to a chain of stations in Kansas and surrounding states through facilities of the KU sports network. Merle Harron, sports director for the division of radio and television, will handle the play-by-play accounts of these contests.
News and sports is presented several times daily, using the facilities of the United Press and the Associated Press as well as local sources.
A regular staff of nine persons is responsible for the broadcasts. They are; R. Edwin Browne, director of the division of radio and television; Mrs. Ruby Motta, dramatist and producer; Miss Mildred Seaman, program director; Giln Price, continuity writer; Bill Hughes, chief announcer; R. P. Stringham, chief engineer; Bill Bilyu, chief studio engineer, and Rod Davis, transmitter engineer.

Baby Volcano, Like Man, Finally Dies
Paricutin, the volcanic wonder of Mexico, is dead.
Bv JERRY KNUDSON
That's the information brought back by Prof. H. A. Ireland of the Geology department who spent three weeks in Mexico this summer after teaching two terms of the summer session at the University of Texas.
Eight I-M Positions Open to Freshmen
Paricutin, one of the world's youngest volcanoes, erupted in south western Mexico in 1943 and gave geologists from all over the world an excellent opportunity for witness-
Eight positions are open to freshmen interested in becoming intramural managers, Jim Moorhead, intramural senior manager, announced today.
The managers are selected on a highly competitive basis. Of the eight freshmen selected, four will become sophomore managers, two junior managers, and one of those two is selected for senior manager.
sing the early growth of an active volcano.
A letter stating qualifications and reasons for wanting the position of intramural manager should be mailed to Walt Mikols, director of men's intramurals, 107 Robinson. The deadline for letters to be in is Sept. 26.
He found the volcanics of that region "fascinating." More than 20 or 30 extinct volcanoes, some possibly 50 or 60 million years old, have blocked off the area to form an inland lake bed, he said.
Dr. Ireland also studied some gigantic sinkholes, from 1,000 to 1,500 feet deep and 2 to 3 miles across, located along the Pan American highway. The town of Jacala is located right in the bottom of a huge sinkhole that is about six miles long, he said.
At the time it was predicted that the volcano was only a surface eruption that would last only several months, Dr. Ireland said. However, the volcanic youngster eventually deposited a cone over 3,000 feet high as it continued to be intermittently active during the rest of the decade.
While in Mexico City Dr. Ireland was one of approximately 100 persons present at President Aleman's reception for the new Brazilian and German ambassadors, the latter being the first since the Nazi regime.
"There hasn't been the slightest evidence of eruptions since February, and the volcano is now apparently dead," Dr. Ireland reported.
