Program From New Studio Marks KFKU Progress
Sunday's recorded broadcast of the 99th Vespers program presented in Hoch auditorium Feb. 20 marked a milestone in the history of KFKU.
"We hope that KFKU will become a center of interest for various departments on the hill, especially speech and journalism. New courses are being planned which will develop student talent in radio writing, producing, acting, and management," he explained.
The 17-member radio advisory council, composed of faculty members from various departments, is considering proposals to set up frequency modulation and television transmitters. "Because of its height, the University is well located for both types of stations," Dr. Stockton said.
Since 1824, KFKU has broadcast from a small, second-story room in the Electrical Engineering laboratory. Sunday, the first program was sent over the air from the ultra-modern studio in the Engineering Experimental station east of the Electrical Engineering laboratory.
"If F.M. is incorporated, KFKU would probably be on the air from six to eight hours a day, since the Federal Communications commission is anxious to assign time to educational programs. This would mean increasing the staff to about eight people," he added.
"A frequency modulation station would cost about $30,000 to $40,000 to set up, and about $20,000 a year to maintain. For that reason the plans must be drawn up at least two years in advance in order to obtain the necessary state appropriations," Dr. Stockton continued.
The facilities of the new studio permit a wide program of expansion benefiting the student body and the University, Dr. F. T. Stockton, dean of University Extension, said.
Through the use of improved equipment, more recordings originating at the University will be made available to various radio stations throughout the state. At present, the Jayhawk Junior classroom series is carried by stations KXXX in Colby and KFBI in Wichita.
Students will be given an opportunity to see the new studio at the open house which is to be held later in the semester, Dr. Stockton said.
Frank Alden Russell, professor of engineering drawing, is a candidate for nomination as councilman of the Third Ward in Lawrence in the primary election tomorrow.
