KANU gets minority hiring grant
KANU-FM will begin to train a full time minority staff member this week with funds from a grant the station received this summer, Richard Wright, station director, said Friday.
The grant, offered by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, is for the hiring of a minority staff member in a training program for years in a specific area of programming.
Ron Jones, a black graduate of the School of Journalism last spring, has been hired to fill the position. Wright said. Jones was to work on yesterday as assistant public affairs director.
Wright said that over 180 public radio stations had been eligible to apply for the grant and that KANU was one of six to receive it.
Wright said the hiring of Jones would be more public affairs coverage on KANU.
"It was quite competitive. We feel quite fortunate to have gotten it," he said.
"The CETA money was supposed to be available in August but I haven't heard a word." Wright said. "We're still in a holding pattern on that."
In order to receive the minority training grant, Wright said, KANU had to submit a project for training a new staff member and have someone in mind to fill the position. Another stipulation was that the University pay half of the salary, which it agreed to do.
Watson waiters wait on selves, not in line
Wright said he was still waiting for word on a second grant for which KANU applied. The second grant is offered by the Federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA). It provides funds for the hiring of another full time staff member.
This will give users easy access to all volumes, Malinowsky said. The periodicals will be shelved either by call number or in alphabetical order.
New, more efficient shelving is being installed which will bring the thousands of unbound periodicals out of the stack area and onto the main floor, he said.
The room is undergoing a transformation in the name of efficiency, H. Robert Malinowski, assistant director for public services, said Friday.
Self-service has found its way into the Watson Library periodical reading room. No longer will the concerned student rush into the reading room, hungry for a glimpse at the latest issue of Pravda, only to become in a perplexing array of computer printouts.
Students wanting to locate a periodical now must thumb through thick computer print-outs which contain listings of all the locations at KU and where they are located.
reading room stacks contain heavily used periodicals.
the installation of the new shelves is what Malinowsky termed a "stopogap" in the growing problem of limited space in the library system.
The movement of the unbound periodicals will free severely needed stack space for part of the approximately 200,000 books in the library have yet to reach the shelves, he said.
In addition to new shelves, the periodical room is making way for movement of microform readers into the area presently occupied by the staff desk, said Karen Sullivan, who move will consolidate all of the periodical functions into one central area, he said.
The staff area is being moved into the current periodical reading room, which will eliminate much of the study area in that room. Mallnowsky said.
However, the louge chairs, typewriter rooms and current periodicals on the east side of the building must be dismantled.
so that the room will remain intact, he said.
Upon entering the period rooms, students will pass through a metal gate. Students are positioned at the exit in order to be positioned at the exit in order to control persons accidentally leaving with materials.
