Student TV newscast auditions today
By SCOTT SJOLIN Staff Writer
"CBS Nightly News" "it isn't, but any KU student may audition for news anchorman of "Fifteen Minutes." KU's television news show.
Auditions are at 3:45 p.m. today at Jolliffe Hall, 19th and Ohio streets. From videotapes of the audition, two people will be chosen to anchor the show, which will be broadcast twice a week this fall on cable channel 6.
STUDENTS WILL NOT be paid for working on "Fifteen Minutes." Anchormen must be free Wednesday afternoons for video taping and the show will be broadcast on Thursday and Saturday, George Rasmussen, assistant professor of journalism, said Friday.
Rasmussen said he expected 20 to 100
students to audition. The students will read news stories without practice.
"We're not going to do any prescreening," Rasmussen said. "We're just going to run them through and give them three or four minutes in front of the camera to see what they look like and how they sound.
"We want to see how they handle themselves in what is sometimes a very untidy situation."
TWO OF RASMUSSEN'S television classes collaborate on "Fifteen Minutes," one class writing the stories and the other producing the broadcast. Students read news about KU and anchormen read news about KU and Lawrence and do a minute of sports.

Rasmussen described the show as a practical introduction to professional cooking.
"The show is very local; Lawrence
was the principal focus," Rasmussen said.
"The experience of this class is a good door-opener for them when they go out into the commercial television world," he said.
Only 20 students auditioned last spring partly because of limited publicity, Rasmussen said. This semester 50 notices were posted in many buildings. Rasmussen said he hoped anyone interested would audition.
"The students really enjoy it," he
said. "The opportunity to get great exposure is

THE RIGHT CHOICE
A limited number of graduates will join Alexander Grant & Company this year to begin careers in public accounting, taxes, and consulting. They'll choose us for various reasons, most having to do with our size.
The Kansan's ad number is 864-4358.
We're an international firm. Fifty plus years old. Respected by our peers. Profitable. Growing. Dynamic.
But compared to the competition, we're not a huge professional establishment. Our name isn't a household word. We're not what you'd call an institution.
That's appealing to many new graduates—those who see that the size of an organization often is a key to things like responsibility, variety of origination, advancement, and professional satisfaction.
When you're a good firm but smaller than some of your competitors, you select new staff members with extraordinary care, and you expect each one to be more effective than alternative, because everybody counts—heavily.
And that's the kind of working environment that talented, energetic people like. If you are one of them, we'd like to talk with you when our representatives are on campus on Tuesday, September 29th.
