By BRENT ANDERSON
KJHK-FM should be on the air next week, pending final approval by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Emmie Communications professor of Journalism, said yesterday.
"WE HOPE TO BE on the air next Wednesday." Martin said.
Installation of the KJHK-FM high-frequency transmitter has been completed, Martin said, and final FAT testing will begin at the station begins broadcasting at 90.7 on the FM band.
Martin said a letter had been sent to the FCC Saturday reporting that construction
of the transmitter had been completed. There were no deviations from the original construction permit approved by the FCC, be said.
Permission from the FCC to go on the air usually takes 10 days to two weeks, Martin
"WE DON'T ENVISION any problems (getting FCC approval)," Martin said. "We are ready to go on the air the day after we hear from the FCC."
KJHJ had originally planned to start broadcasting in September, Martin said, but the transmitter didn't arrive even when the KJHJ staff a chance to organize programming
"In a way we've been lucky," Martin said. "It takes time to set up programming for 20 hours a day on weekdays and 21 hours a day on weekends."
and acquaint announcers and disc jockeys with station equipment, Martin said.
DAVE KROBOT, the JKH1 station manager, said the time the JKH1 staff had before going on the air would improve the quality and professionalism of program-
"We hope to have something for everyone," Krobot said. "We will offer programs of student interest and commiserate with them in a professional way," he said.

The three-day semiannual blood drive was organized by the Panshellenic Society of NY.

"THE VISUAL ARTS AND RILKES' POETRY," will be displayed in conjunction with a symposium celebrating the 100th anniversary of poet Ranier Maria Rilke, beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Art Gallery of Philadelphia. The display will be there until Oct. 19.
(IFC) in cooperation with the Douglas County Red Cross. The Association of Independence Halls and the All-Schoolship Hall Council are helping with the blood drive.
Blood donations this fall have surpassed last February's figure, said Kellie McCarthy, chairman of Panhellenic Campus and another staff units were collected yesterday and Monday.
The 728 pints donated last February broke
off the bank of Kannas blood drive, McCarthy said.
More than 15 per cent of the blood collected by Judges County Red Cross was donated.
All KU students and their families are eligible to receive free blood because of the KU blood drives, even if they are outside county when they need the blood, she said.
More than 300 students volunteered to drive, said Dave Flood, IPC coordinator.
This fall, appointments to donate blood were made the week before the drive, resulting in one of the most organized KU blood drives. Byers said, last week, 756 patients had received their last February when the appointment system was initiated, McCarthy said.
Watkins Memorial Hospital provides a physician, and there are six volunteer nurses and twelve paid nurses working at the blood drive, Byers said.
However, waiting time for walk-in donors in about the same as for those with application.
A pint of blood can be donated once every eight weeks, she said. A person is vulnerable to donate blood if he weighs under 110 pounds for a variety of other medical reasons.
Local blood drives supply Lawrence Memorial Hospital's blood requirements of approximately 125 pints a month. In addition, the Douglas County Red Cross sends 350 to 400 pints of blood to hospitals outside the county every year.
If a person is temporarily ineligible, he may be able to donate blood at a downtown Lawrence blood drive in November. The Douglas County Red Cross conducts blood drives four times a year in downtown Lawrence.
Nine wattes of power will be used to transmit KJHK's signal, Krobot said, which should reach a 10-mile radius from KJHK's station. A smaller radio tower behind Marvin Hall, he said.
Connie Nusser, KJHK program director, said the station would provide an alternative to programming available to KU students and Lawrence residents.
THE POTENTIAL NUMBER of listeners will be about 65,000, Krobot said. The station will be operating under a noncommercial educational license, he said.
She said the station would offer a broad spectrum of programming, including a wide variety of music, interview and call-in programs, drama and KU variety vaultball and comedy shows.
OTHER PROGRAMS that will be featured, Nusser said, are foreign language shows designed to help students learn native pronunciations; Western Civ Review, a weekly show to help students prepare for required exams; KJHK Kalender, listing upcoming campus and community events; Job Holeh, a daily activity at the library; area; and programs of special interest to minorities and women.
Krobot said several of the shows had already been recorded. Students make up many of the students, and some staff members receive credit hours for their work at JKHK, but they work more hours than they receive credit hours because they are interested in what they are doing.
MARTIN SAID about 250 students will have participated in KJHK by the end of the semester. There are 60 staff members and 40 news reporters working for the station, he said. About 150 other students will be involved in varying degrees through the semester in classes and special programs, Martin said.
Steve Granzow, news director, said he was excited about the KJHK news department. Consisting of 40 reporters, it will probably be the largest broadcast news team. Granzow said. However, he said, each reporter puts in only about six hours a week.
GRANZOW SAID KJHK hoped to emphasize local news, but news programming would also cover state, national and international news.
News broadcasts will be carried on KJE,
at least five minutes of each broadcasting
hour, Granzow said. He said there would be
three extended newcasts: a 15-minute
newcast at 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday
through Friday and a 20-minute newcast at
noon on Thursday, a 10-minute newcast at noon on Saturday
and Sunday, he said.
Martin said KJHK was sponsored by three main sources: student activity fees, the Radio-TV-Film department and grants to finance it. The company wanted to finance KJHK programming.
KROBOT SAID any business or individual who financed an JKH programs would pay the cost of producing those programs. In return, the name of the business or individual sponsoring certain broadcasts would be ammunced.
A program guide will be distributed in the next few weeks listing the times and dates of the programs, Krobot said. Anyone who is interested in the student station can apply, he said.
"We haven't turned anyone down who wanted to work for the station." Krobot said. "We'll use anyone who wants to work."
"I'm really excited about the potential here. I think if people tune in and give us a nugget, we can learn a lot."
