"It's helped generate interest," said Baker, who has hosted hip-hop programs at the shack and KJHK's new studio. "We're getting a lot more diverse people."
Parendi Birdie, a junior from Lawrence and a DJ for KJHK, is part of the station's surge of new student volunteers. She said that her experience with the station has provided a venue to display her creativity.
But national press attention and more volunteers aren't the only new things at the station. The station has also revamped its website, KJHK.org, to include a calendar of local events, album reviews, program information and downloadable audio from its two news programs.
"It's really expressive and I didn't really realize that it would be," Birdie said.
The station's site averages about 200 unique visitors a day, which has contributed to KJHK's second consecutive year of increased ratings, according to Trebar.
"We wanted fresh content something being uploaded on a daily basis," he said. "With this new site, it's designed from the get-go to be more dynamic and flexible."
KJIK's listenership, which averages about 6,700 listeners on a daily to weekly basis, has increased more than four percent since 2010.
John Zarr, a junior from Overland Park, said that he regularly listens to the station because of KJHK's diversity in content.
"If I'm listening to the radio I usually go to KJHK first," he said. "They're going to have the variety
— they're going to have songs that I know are not going to be on any other radio station."

POETRY MADE PUBLIC

phones that students carry and for which the FW+Faces app was designed. Joy Rehman, a touring member of Falling Whistles from Texas, said it was counterproductive to focus on that irony. She said she prefers to bring people together around a positive message and use the phones to help end the war. Her group will continue on tour to cities and college towns across the country until Dec. 10.
Since the meeting, Schaidle said he has heard from more students who want to get involved. The group hopes to hold more events locally and with its partners at Northwest Missouri State in the future.
"Falling Whistles is important because people have to understand everything has to do with everything." Schailed wrote in an email. "The events in the Congo will cross the borders into the rest of the world, eventually affecting the U.S."
