Canadians donate money to KU
By Susie Bishop Of the Kansan staff
The Canadian government, in an effort to encourage KU faculty to take academic interest in Canada and its resources, gave a $6,000 grant yesterday to the University of Kansas to sponsor a five-part lecture series on Canadian-U.S. relations.
Christopher Pearson, Canadian deputy consulate general for the southwestern region of the United States, and Mary Williams, Canadian director of public affairs for the southwestern region of the United States, opened the lecture series last night with the presentation of a check to Theodore Wilson, director of humanistic studies.
Pearson said he came to the opening of the lecture series to encourage the United States to inspire interest in what Canada was all about.
"The long-range goal is to foster a better relationship between Canada and the United States through knowledge," said Pearson.

J. L. Granstein, a Canadian historian and faculty member of York University, Ontario, spoke last night in Alderson Auditorium of the Kansas Union about Canadian-British-American relations as the first in a new series of five lectures on Canada.
The grant for the lecture series represents the first of its kind, Williams said. KU applied and was the first selected to begin the program.
He said the United States government sponsored similar programs in Canadian universities.
David Gahan, a research associate at Hall Center for the Humanities at KU, said "The Canadian government is trying to get American universities to pay attention to Canada and its studies.
"Together we are trying to get more people interested in the north Atlantic region."
Eventually, Gahan said, he hopes the United States and Canada will join to do cooperative teaching and research about Canadian history, politics and culture and establish a Canadian studies research institute at KU.
Pearson said in spite of some differences, the United States and Canada were friendly neighbors. The lecture series will work to strengthen the relationship between neighbors, he said.
J. L. Granatstein, a historian from York University, Ontario, presented the first lecture of the five in the series. He spoke on "Canada in the North Atlantic Triangle; Canadian, British and American Relations."
Granatstein said that Canada, the United States and Britain, the sides of the triangle, were interrelated in developmental, political and economic terms. When one side of the triangle changed, the other sides would adjust to accommodate the difference.
He focused his examples on how World War I and II changed Canada's economic structure and made Canada dependent on the United States and Great Britain, Canada's mother country.
"Canada lost any chance of independence because it tried so hard to assist its mother country in the wars," said Granatstein.
The second lecture in the series will be presented by George Baum, a sociologist from the University of Toronto, Feb. 6. He will speak about religious and social change in Canada.
Elsbeth Cameron, of the literature department at the University of Toronto, will talk about Canadian literature on March 20.
Urban politics in Canada will be discussed by Warren Magnusson, of the political science department at
the university of Victoria, British Columbia, Sept. 25.
The final lecture in the series will be Oct. 30, 1986. Ian Jarvie, professor of philosophy at York University, will speak about the societies of Canada and the North Atlantic.
KLZR joins network, gains new sound
By Jennifer Benjamin Of the Kansan staff
Before the end of this year, most of the voices KLZR radio station listeners hear on the radio will no longer be local voices.
Instead, experienced diac jockies in Dallas will introduce and talk about the music, Bob Newton, general manager for KLWN-KLZR, said yesterday.
The network will leave several minutes each hour for local programming. Newton said. The station will still broadcast local weather, news and commercials and will retain one of its local afternoon shows.
In a move to increase listeners and bring crisp, clear sound to Lawrence and the surrounding area, KLZR has joined the Satellite Music Network.
KLZR's disc jockeys will work
more on the production side and coordinate the network's programs and the local side. They will continue to do their normal jobs, except they won't talk. Newton said.
The music network has studios in Chicago and Dallas to broadcast live programs such as country, rock and oldies music. KLZR has chosen the Rockin' Hits programming, which comes from a studio in Dallas, he said.
"We're still going to be a local radio station." Newton said. "We're not giving up control of our music. We are seeking the research and knowledge of the Satellite Music Network."
Steve Kincaid, Lawrence junior who has been a disc jockey for KLZR for three years, said the station's sound might improve because of the change, but said listeners wouldn't
be able to request music.
He said the change wouldn't affect him much because he was involved with production as well as being a disc jockey. However, he said, most of the disc jockeys are unhappy about the change.
"They're not really going to be disc jockeys anymore. They'll just be operators."
Newton said that even when requests came in now, the disc jockeys had to follow a format, and couldn't always play the requests.
Although the network plays some artists that KLZR doesn't play, he said, the music will not change much. The change in announcers will not be noticeable either, he said.
The Satellite Music Network hires disc jockeys with experience and good voices on the air, he said. They
will have 10 people in Dallas to entertain listeners.
A consulting firm for the network tests music by discovering what listeners across the country want to hear, Newton said.
"It took a lot of thinking and deciding to join the network. We hope to end up with a better product on the air.
"Almost two years ago, 10 percent of the radio stations were using the network either full-time or part-time."
Newton said the station already belonged to a satellite network for KU football and basketball games. The Jayhawk Network, Jefferson City, Mo., brings the games to KLZR listeners.
