Kristin Schaffer, Hays junior and journalism major, said she watched C-SPAN for coverage of the 2000 elections and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Lamb also spoke more formally yesterday at 7:30 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium in the Union. His lecture was part of
"We are a reflection of the political culture of this country."
Brian Lamb C-SPAN founder and CEO
the Institute's "Dole Lecture Series." The series will feature prominent figures in politics and media throughout the semester. About 450 people
attended the evening lecture.
C-SPAN has been broadcasting for 25 years this month, but Lamb said the network was almost always overlooked in discussions about media.

"But we are doing what all the networks say the media should do," Lamb said. "We are a reflection of the political culture of this country."

While lawrencerock.com focuses on the rock music scene around Lawrence, and lawrencehiphop.com concentrates on the hip-hop scene, both Web sites have message boards which are the most popular areas visited. Message boards allow people to post questions and opinions. Local bands and political events are most frequently discussed, Giessel said.
Giessel said that in August the Web site received over 1,000
visitors. He said it had been steadily rising.
Rockkansas.com, a comprehensive Web site that covers all music genres and the state of Kansas, was launched last October.
Its editor, Phil Cauthon, said he did not think the Web site competed with the two Lawrence sites.

"We have more resources, so we're able to do a lot more," he said.
Because lawrencerock.com
and lawrencehipop.com are independent, they are responsible for all the costs. Berard said it cost between $15-$20 a year for lawrencrock.com's name, and about $5 a month for upkeep of the Web site. He said their costs were lower than the normal because he researched and found special deals.
The common denominator that makes local music Web sites possible is local artists, Giessel said.

Internships

He said interns spent their mornings doing prayer and devotionals, followed by a lecture and praise and worship. Afternoons were spent in "relational ministry," building strong relationships and setting a good example.
"We're just trying to show the kids what it's like to follow Christ," said Wilson.
Potential interns had to go through a selection process, including applications and interviews, before they were given the internships. Once selected, interns lived and worked in the church for the summer with free room and board and were paid $1,200.
Jon Crawford, Tulsa junior and Wilson's roommate, had the internship with Heartland in the summer of 2001.
Crawford, a business major, said the internship was massively rewarding and the experience would benefit him in the future.
"I don't necessarily see myself
going into full time ministry, but I can certainly see myself being a worship leader when I get older," said Crawford, who leads a Sunday worship service at Danforth Chapel.
Many local religious organizations offer internships, and Crawford said Heartland had been planting internship programs at other churches for the past several years.
Jay Lewis, executive director for KU Hillet, said Hillet offered a variety of internships for Jewish students to get leadership experience and work closely with their organization.
He said most of Hillel's internships were unpaid, but occasionally students got one that did pay.
Tracy Davis, Dallas junior, said she had a holiday programming internship with Hillel this year. She said she wanted to be an event planner after college and the internship was good practice for the future.
"I plan all the events that go on for the holidays," said Davis. "I just planned a Yom Kippur 'break the fast' at Kokoro, and right now I'm working on an event for Sukket."
Though neither Crawford.
"I don't necessarily see myself going into full time ministry, but I can certainly see myself being a worship leader when I get older."

Wilson nor Davis were religion majors, all said they entered into their respective internships because spirituality was important to them and because they wanted leadership experience.
Mary Andrade, assistant director of University and Career Employment Services, said in addition to offering internships, a lot of religious organizations could apply for AmeriCorps grants for post-graduate internships.
"There's definitely an increased awareness of those opportunities," said Andrade. She said career services had begun to track internships only this year, but religious internships were gaining interest.
