KJHK bucks trends and plays polka
By Darrin Poschka Special to the Kansan
It's only two minutes until air
time at KJHK and David Hennessy
kneels in front of shelves
iam-packed with CDs and
records by artists like Nirvana and Railroad Jerk. He carefully selects the album that will open his show — a new release from self-procled "polka-lovin' gal" Kristine Hibbs.
Hennessy: Polka DJ at KJHK
At 3 p.m., Hennessy, Clifton Park, N.Y., senior, flips on the microphone and says, "Hi, you're listening to KJHK and this is the Jukebox Polka Show."
Hosted by Hennessy, the Jukebox Polka Show, just completed its second semester on the air.
It airs from 3 to 4 p.m. on Fridays and is becoming increasingly popular among students who are more accustomed to the alternative, college-rock, and heavy metal music generally heard on KJHK.
While accordions and tubas may seem out of place on a student-run station, Hennessy said the show was popular and he had received a lot of positive feedback, especially from people who call in during his program.
On this particular day, Beatrize Ibarra, Overland Park junior, calls in and asks that a song, any song, be played especially for her. Although she is not familiar with any particular artist or song, she listens every week while working at Lu Lu's, a restaurant in downtown Lawrence.
"I cut vegetables and noodles in a basement and whenever the show comes on, we dance around."
"Polka may be a growing trend because people tend to listen to new things," Ibarra said. "I cut vegetables and noodles in a basement and whenever the show comes on, we dance

around."
Another caller, an elderly Lawrence gentleman, requests one of his favorite polka tunes, the "Hoop De Doo Polka." While Hennessy happens to have this particular song on hand, he said requests were sometimes difficult to accommodate because of the limited supply of polka albums in the studio. He has about 20 records and a smaller number of CDs.
Finding the latest albums and artists also can be difficult, Hennessy said.
Record labels usually do not carry polka artists because they
do not generate high enough sales, Hennessy said. Therefore, he has to wait for artists to send new albums to the station, or he will try to find material that his listeners recommend. However, today he happens to have some extra copies of albums and the lucky third caller is now the proud owner of the latest Eddie Blazonczyk album.
Some of the more popular poka artists include Blazonczyk, who resembles Al of the popular television series "Home Improvement" and Hibbs.
Hennessy agreed that polka music was atypical for a student-run college radio station where the norm was electric guitars and thumping bass. He said even some of his friends found his musical taste a little unusual.
"It's a big joke among us, but everybody knows that I do this just for fun. If you listen to polka because you think you are cool, then you're in trouble," Hennessy said.
Design program is real-world challenge
By Carolyn Mollett
Special to the Kansan
Ryan Hembree sat on the black futon in his room and fidgeted with his eraser as he sketched a cello.
It was after midnight, and Hembree, Overland Park junior, was working furiously to sketch musical instruments onto tracing paper. In less than eight hours, he had to meet with representatives from KANU radio station to present his ideas for an advertisement.
Hembree is one of 15 students in The Arts, an elite program in the Design Department intended to give students a taste of the real world by having them design logos, posters,
signs, brochures, programs and newspaper advertisements for clients.
Hembree said he usually spent close to 40 hours a week working on projects for The Arts.
"It's like a full-time job," he said.
Later, Dick Varney, instructor and director of The Arts, told Hembree the sketches of the instruments were not original enough and he had to start again with a new concept and new designs.
The class meets twice a week, but most work is done outside of class. Varney uses class time to critique projects and to allow students to share ideas.
To simulate the atmosphere of a studio, Varney added a conference table to the classroom to go along with the students' individual work stations.
"If you had walked into here two months ago, it would have looked like a glorified classroom." Varney said.
Students in the class are responsible for dealing with printers, deadlines and budgets and also must maintain constant contact with clients.
The Arts has two permanent clients: The Lied Center and The University Theatre.
Charla Jenkins, public relations coordinator for The University Theatre, said that she had been associated with the program since it began in 1979.
"I think it's wonderful. It's been good for the kids," Jenkins
said.
Jennifer Ray, associate art director at Intertec Publishing Corporation in Overland Park, is a former Arts student. Ray said her time in The Arts was excellent training and prospective employers looked for experience like hers.
The program is selective about its students. Faculty members review students' portfolios and make recommendations before Varney makes a decision about whom to accept.
Legally, The Arts cannot charge organizations for its services, Varney said. Some clients donate money, which is added to a budget to pay for supplies. The only cost that clients must cover is for printing.
