According to calendar and K-Book computations but 19 days remain oefore teachers take vengeance on those of us who sleep through class or cause general disturbance. During these 19 days economic students have predicted a rise in the sale of apples and the use of more than the average amount of elbow grease to give them "pol- ish"

Informality was the keynote of last evening's party in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. Given by Districts I and III of the LSA, dancers were attired in sweaters and skirts—the better to get "in the Mood," for swing.

of the first times that the session of any state legislative body has been broadcast.
Since county clubs have come back into vogue, it is interesting to not that in 1925 members of the radio committee seemed desirous of letting students appear on radio programs from the University, but they were given an opportunity to broadcast special weekly programs.
Competition by WREN
In April, 1927, the radio station of the Jenny Wren Flour company at the Jackman Mills, was permitted to use the call letters WREN. WREN operated from a 1,000 wave transmitter, but the specifications made by the U.S. Department of Commerce necessitated the cutting down of the power to a 750 watts tower of 32 meters which was the same as the wave length of KFKU. WREN was allowed to go on the air as long as it did not conflict in any way with KFKU.
In January of 1928, WREN became a member of the Blue Network of the Radio Corporation, a chain broadcasting system, that necessitated it to be on the air at the hours set by the corporation. From that time on, KPFU has shared time with WREN.
WREN grew larger and surpassed KFKU. Completing its tenth year of broadcasting, the University station in September of 1934 began operating on the increased power of 100 watts which brought it on equal basis again with the Lawrence station.
No Advertising on KFKU
Because of its educational nature KFKU has no income from advertising. It is supported entirely by
Broadcasting football games costs the alibi management $1,000 a game in lost revenue, or $5,000 for the season.
At the present time KFKU broadcasts lessons on more foreign languages than any other station in the country. Lesson in French, German and Spanish are given out regularly to "students of the air". Many departments of the University use the time of station KFKU. Drama-education productions, de bates, round-table discussions, and musical programs are most often heard.
