KFKU Airs Culture, Music Jayhawk Junior Classroom
Honors for the largest enrollment of any class goes to radio station KFKU's Jayhawk Junior classroom. More than 30,000 fourth, fifth, and sixth graders are enrolled.
The Johnny Jayhawk series is broadcast to Kansas schools three times weekly. The program is expanding as more and more schools install radios in their classrooms.
Johnny and Jean Jayhawk are character dramatizations at 2:45 p.m. each Wednesday to remind the junior listeners that it pays to keep well. Tape recordings of the program are also broadcast over station KXXX, Colby, Kan.

Clarence A. Resch, Jr., engineering freshman, plays a recording of the opera, "Faust" that is being presented on the program "Opera Box". Resch is full-time KFKU engineer.
KFKU finished its first year of operation from its new studio in the engineering experiment building south of Marvin hall in July. Sharing radio station WREN's transmitter in Topeka, KFKU broadcast a total of 548 hours during the past year.
Miss Mildred Seaman, program director, explained that the station broadcasts mostly cultural and educational programs. "Opera Box," a triphot trip to an opera performance, "Four-State News Review," with Emil Telfel, assistant professor of journalism, reading from a stu-
Wespers' are some of the features that go out over the airways and attract large audiences.
The modern studio is equipped with a library of 2,000 records, two R.C.A. transcription tables, three recording machines, and the later simulation imitation Clarence A, Resch, Jr., engineering freshman, is full-time engineer.
As is the practice of most large stations nowadays, programs are recorded on tape and broadcast later except "Vespers" which is a "live" program. "Opera Box," a weekly feature at 9:30 p.m. each Friday, is narrated by Richard G. Beahm, fine author of "The Woman Nounceers" are John A. Bannigan, journalism junior, and Jack N. Stewart, College sophomore.
KFKU made its first broadcast in 1923 with only 500-watts power. The premier program was marked with confusion because of a last minute substitution for the planned program. A male quartet was rushed in and gave an outstanding performance.
Letters had been sent to University alumni throughout North America requesting that they try to pick up the program and write back the result. Most distant point of reception was Oklahoman Oklahoma City. A listener in Los Angeles, Calif., wrote that he heard the program faintly.
KFKU can be received at 1250 k.c.
on the radio dial. The transmitter in
Topeka has 5,000-watts power.
KFKU broadcasts from 2:30 p.m. to
3 p.m. and 9:30 to 10 p.m. Mondays
through Fridays. Sunday "Vespers"
are broadcast four times yearly.
