4 appointed to board
Four students were appointed to the University of Kansas Memorial Corporation board of directors Wednesday night under the guidance of Dr. John O'Neill, minority and living group representation.
The Executive Committee of the board made the appointments when it approved the report of the Committee on Expanding Membership of the Union Board. The committee approved the amendment to the corporation's bylaws improved at a corporation meeting July 26.
The Memorial Corporation is the executive organization of the Kansas Union and regulates the union's programs, policies and development.
According to Frank Burge, Union director, the amendment resulted from the lack of a broad student representation from University living and minority groups.
Mary Lou Reece, student body vice president and member of the ad hoc selection committee, said the committee gave five groups not now represented on the board.
Ricee said the five isolated groups were graduate students, minorities, scholarship recipients, and nonresidents.
Those selected last night were Helen "Mumbi" Kimbal, Lawrence graduate
student; Mark Allen, Ames, Iowa,
sophomore; Tom Donaldson, Lawrence
graduate student; and Sherry Grey,
Mhattan junior.
According to Evelyn Swartz, board president, those selected will serve until this spring when the board membership undergoes its annual change.
The twelve members attending the Executive Committee dinner meeting voted unanimously to accept the selections committee's report.
In other business, Jon Jossenand, Johnson City senior, told the board that "surprisingly few shortages of textbooks" developed this fall.
Most of the sell-outs were because of over-enrollment in courses, he said, and couldn't
Burge said there were problems concerning the availability and transportation
Burge said he thought recent meetings between department representatives and bookstore personnel helped both parties understand problems with book ordering.
"I assure you that management people clear down to the third echelon of the organization are aggressively determined to improve and perfect the ordering system," he said.
KFKU shares frequency lacks transmitter, studio
By RACHEL CASE
The University of Kansas AM radio station, KFKU, is the only station in the United States that has neither its own studio, nor its own transmitter.
KFKU, a noncommercial station established in 1924, is one of the idiot radio stations. It was owned by KFKU and KANU, said Monday. Since 1932 the station has had a time-sharing agreement with WREN, a Topeka commercial station, formerly based in
KFKU is on the air six-and-one-half hours a week. The programs are recorded at KANU, the University's FM station, and are broadcast live on radio in Topeka, where they are transmitted.
Tom Doyle, director of engineering for KFKU and KANU, said 24 time-sharing agreements were now in existence in the 1980s. In that decade, there were more than 100 in the 1980s and 1940s.
Wright said time-sharing agreements between commercial and non-commercial radio stations became quite common because broadcasting frequencies became larger. The sharing concept allows a greater number of stations to broadcast, he said.
Doyle said time-sharing agreements were often made so stations could use more powerful frequencies. A frequency of 600 is more desirable than a frequency of 1400, he said, because lower frequencies have power to reach wider audiences.
Time-sharing agreements are often less than satisfactory, Doyle said. He said that KFKU had a good working relationship with him, although there had been some problems.
For example, although one station can't legally interrupt the programs of the station with which it shares time, interruptions sometimes happen. Wright said.
"if a tornado is about to hit Tomika, they cannot legally interrupt our broadcast to them."
"Llegally they can't take you off the air, but sometimes they have to."
Another Topeka commercial radio station, WIBW, has an agreement with KSAC, Kansas State University's AM station. The program was KSAC is broadcasting, Wright said.
KANU broadcasts 132 hours a week, he
will be responsible for all the
the programming for KFKU.
KFKU is on the air from 1:30 to 2 every afternoon and from 7 to 7:30 every night. In the afternoon, student members of the KANU staff broadcast, KU Calling," a radio show that moves the music." It also includes a calendar of KU events, and campus news.
The evening program is similar to the
orchestral program, but jazz music is
adopted with greater flair.
At 10:30 p.m. Sunday, KANU and KFKU broadcast "Feedback," a public affairs show that discusses a contemporary issue and presents special guests and reactions of listeners.
Fall enrollment up almost 1,500
Preliminary enrollment estimates for the University for the 1975 fall semester indicate that almost 1,500 more students are enrolled this year than were last year, Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records, said Thursday.
Dyck said the estimates were based on figures reported to his office Monday, which was the 20th day of classes. Official 20th-day figures will be released next week, he said, and Dyck said the state to determine how much funding the University will receive from it.
The unofficial figures show an estimated 21,879 students enrolled on the Lawrence campus, and 1,799 at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
