KANU Featuring Rock, Discussion Program
The initiative of two University of Kansas students, a grant and the cooperation of radio station KANU have enabled a new program featuring rock music and discussions to begin over KANU this fall.
The two students are Robert Newton, Tulsa Okla., graduate student, and Brian McKinney, Ipswich, Mass., junior.
The grant is from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and KANU is helping the program by letting KU undergraduates use its facilities for broadcasting.
Newton explained that the grant was given to KANU to help finance the new program, which would be written, announced and produced by KU students.
Objectives of the program, Newton said, are to add a new dimension to radio listening in Lawrence and to provide professional experience for advanced students in broadcasting. The program, entitled "To Be Announced" (TBA), will be "an intelligent, informative, low-key program of rock music, interviews, discussions on topics of student interest and occasional in-depth coverage of campus events," Newton said.
Newton and another graduate student, Bill Brant, Lawrence, will act as faculty advisers for
TBA and McKinney will be music supervisor.
McKinney said eight or ten students were involved in the program, most of them as announcers.
The program is divided into three parts, music discussion and news.

The graduate student foreign language tests of the Educational Testing Service (ETC) will be administered Oct. 10, 1970. These tests, currently being used to satisfy foreign language reading requirements of various departments, will be offered in humanities, social sciences and natural sciences options in French, German, Russian and Spanish.
Language Test To Be Given
September 23 is the deadline for guaranteed registration.
The high-level reading requirement of some departments may be satisfied by a higher score on these tests. The A and B courses in German, Latin and Russian, and the A course in French, Italian and Spanish will still be available as a method of satisfying the foreign language requirement.
Departments not using the ETS tests, but having language requirements, will give their own examinations.
Further information may be obtained from the Graduate School. The Psychometrics Section of the Guidance Bureau has a supply of registration forms.
the straight news as reported in newspapers. He explained that news features would resemble television specials. For example, he said, TBA might broadcast portions of a Student Senate meeting or even the entire meeting.
Music will be from rock albums. McKenny said few radio stations offered this kind of music, which was the kind that most college students liked to hear. He said most stations feature either classical music or "Top 40" music, single records or single songs from albums that appeal to people between the ages of 14 and 18.
The program is broadcast between 10:15 p.m. and midnight on Saturday and Sunday over KANU.
Discussions on the program will include interviews in addition to formal discussions. Newton said TBA was attempting to have programs about the Gay Liberation Front, ROTC, ecology and the Black Students Union.
McKinney said the music that would be played included albums by the Jefferson Airplane; Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; the Rolling Stones and Blood, Sweat and Tears.
Interviews are being planned with Cancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr., Bill Ebert, student body president, U. S. Congressman Larry Winn, RLawrence, and Lt. Gov. James DeCoursey. McKinney said Bill Black, spokesman for the Worker's Support Committee, was interviewed on the program last Saturday. Black has been working on a strike against the C. M. Moore Plastics Co. in Overland Park.
Newton said the news handled by TBA would be an expansion of
