KJHK general manager search may be over by December
The search for a new general manager for KJHK is near an end, said Meredith Vacek, station manager of the student-run radio station.
In September, sponsorship of the station switched from the School of Journalism to the Kansas Memorial Unions. A search committee has been reviewing canidates for the general manager position.
Vacek, Lawrence senior and member of the search committee, said the committee would hopefully have a new manager in place before December.
Gary Hawke, former general manager, is also on the search committee. He said many of the candidates have had experience with KJHK in the past.
"I am looking for someone who has a passion for KJHK." Hewke said.
Hawke said he would be helping the new manager as much as needed next semester.

Nontraditional student event to offer fun for whole family
The Nontraditional Student Fall Harvest will offer activities for students of all ages tomorrow at Stouffer Place Apartments west of Allen Fieldhouse.
The Stouffer Neighborhood Associa
tion, Nontraditional Student Services and Organization of Adult Knowledge Seekers is offering the pot luck dinner as a way for non-traditional students to share the culture, meet new people and get involved in the KU community.
"I think a lot of the time nontrads get left behind," said Debby Ogden, president of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association. "Since so many live off campus, even more get left out."
The event will offer activities such as a pumpkin ring-toss game, pumpkin weight-guessing contest with prizes, pine-cone crafts and face painting.
Stouffer Neighborhood Association will provide pies, Coca-Cola is donating beverages and participants are encouraged to bring their favorite dish to share.

Former affirmative action official at University dies at 57
Current controversies over affirmative action would have been nothing new to James "Skip" Turner Jr., former director of the University of Kansas Office of Affirmative Action.
Turner, of Norfolk, Va., died Monday at the age of 57.
Turner came to the University in 1984, when Ronald Reagan sat at the nation's helm.
"This is a good time to be working in affirmative action," James said in an 1984 interview with The Oread. "It's needed now more than any other time in the past 30 years.The current administration seems intent on undermining three decades of civil rights legislation."
He entered the civil rights movement in 1959 when he was part of the "Norfolk 17," a group of 17 black students who defied an angry mob of white parents and officials to deseg-

Turner resigned from the University in 1991 after he was quoted in a University Daily Kansan article using the phrases, "fat Indian chick" and "faggot."

Where's my appendix, and what does it do?
Everybody's wondered - where is that pesky little organ? The appendix is located in the lower right-hand side of the abdomen, either behind the cecum or in front of the ileum.
Nobody is really sure exactly what it does but there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that the appendix plays an important role as part of the body's immune system especially early in life.
