KUOK Seen as Study Aid in Halls
University students seem to think that radio station KUOK is a study aid. The following interviews indicate that students not only listen to KUOK when they study but also pay attention to the type of music being played.
One of KUOK's listeners, Darryl Roberts, Wichita sophomore, said, "I think they play too much jazz on KUOK I can listen to semi-classical and read a book, but jazz and studying don't mix with me."
"I think they have a good thing," said Preston Craft, Junction City sophomore. "but it seems every time I tune in KUOK, I get popular music. I like popular, but I think there should be more classical music. I listen to the radio to relax during a study break."
Disc jockey Ronald Abrams, Brooklyn, N.Y., senior, said that he likes rock 'n' roll a lot.
"But," he explained, "I realize most of the college listeners don't I try to integrate their tastes and mine.
"Most of the disc jockeys work hard." Abrams said, "because they want this to be their life work. I spend so much time here at the station that classes sometimes seem to be a sideline."
Another listener of KUOK said that he felt the disc jockeys spend too much time talking about the records they are going to play.
"It's not always the case," said Don Mason, Prairie Village junior, authority. I'd feel better if they'd authority, I'd feel better if they'd give the straight facts and not dress up the explanation of the record so much.
Each listener agreed that he felt the radio station was a good thing for KU.
"I like jazz very much," he continued, "but I tend to lean toward the classical. Classical music is a lot easier to study by than jazz."
"I think it's a good example of a group of students who know what they want and strive toward their goal," said Ronald J. Wyancko, Prairie Village sophomore. "I'm sure the students at KUOK work hard and it's a shame more people don't realize it."
