News show might boost awareness
The Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Students at two California high schools, Gahr and nearby Cerritos, took a current events quiz last week, and the results could help decide whether commer­ cation vision get a place in the classroo.
The quizzes were part of a research effort designed to see if a daily TV news show that includes paid advertising is helping students learn.
The almost 2,000 students at Gah High School in Cambrick, Calif., have been able to watch the news show called Channel One for the past two weeks on 91 new television sets given them and installed in every classroom.
Whittle Communications LP, the Knoxville, Tenn.,based media concern that developed Channel One. The program's goal is the show is helping educate students.
Backers of the program are betting that the research will show a significant difference from the schools that have been trained to the show and that haven't.
The test of Channel One began March 6 at Gahr and five other schools — Eisenhower Middle School in Kansas City, Kan. Mumford High School in Detroit, Withrow High School in Cincinnati, Billerica Memorial High School near Boston and Central High School in Knoxville.
The main obstacle appears to be the intense opposition from children's advocates and some education groups who say companies should not be allowed to pitch their products to an essentially captive audience.
Board candidates say they expect second high school to be key issue
by Carrie Harper
The possibility of a second high school in Lawrence will probably be the deciding issue in the general election on April 4, candidates for the Lawrence School Board agreed.
Kansan staff writer
Five candidates, including three incumbents, are running for three positions on the seven-member board. The board meets twice a month, and members are not paid for their work.
Barbara Ballard, who has been on the board since 1985, said that she decided to run for re-election because she enjoyed working on the board and because she wanted to continue working on projects already under way.
Ballard, 44, is the director of the Emily Taylor
大学, at the University of Kansas and associated dean of student
life at the University of Kansas.
"This year, particularly with the controversy regarding the second high school issue, really put me over the hill."
Gary Conrady, a board member from 1973 to 1977, said that he wanted to get back into public education.
Conra, 48, is the owner of Residential Alternatives Inc. which provides group home care for handicapped adults.
Alice Fowler, who has been on the board since 1985 and is the current board president, said that she wanted to continue working and watching the progress of programs she had been involved with for the past four years.
Fowler, 54, has lived in Lawrence all her life and is a clerk typist for the Lawrence Fire Department.
The board's approval in January of a second high school probably will cause a high voter turnout, Powier
Larry Morlan has been on the board since 1985 and is the current board vice president.
Tacha, 48, owns the Bureau of Lectures and Concert Artists, which provides educational assembly programs for schools in the Midwest and seminars for businesses.
John Tacha has never served in a public office, but he said that she was running for the office that he needed and with a business background.
Two candidate forums have been scheduled.
Morlan is the director of corporate and foundation support for the Kansas University Endowment Association.
Four groups will sponsor a forum at 7 p.m. Thursday in the band room at Lawrence High School, 19th and Louisiana streets, said Katherine Weickert, communications coordinator for Lawrence public schools.
The School-Community Relations Council, the Area Council, the Lawrence Education Association and the Committee for Awareness in Public Education have been established to address concerns from the audience also will be addressed. Weckert said.
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce will sponsor a joint forum for school board and City Commission candidates at 7 p.m. March 27 at City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets.
Ann Wilkord, chamber membership director, said the school board forum would start about 9 p.m. because the school board has a meeting scheduled for earlier that evening.
Forest Service to spruce up its image
The Associated Press
DENVER — Dozens of U.S. Forest Service public affairs officers, district rangers, forest supervisors and other managers in the Rocky Mountain region are meeting this week to hear what they say is an image problem.

Service for deficit timber sales, overbuilding of roads and underpriced grazing.
Forest Service officials worry that the agency is perceived as a name-
"We're looking at our image," said Lym Young, spokesman for the Forest Service's Rocky Mountain region agency. "We've learned what crisis is going to come, but we know we're certainly going to have some."
The Forest Service has invited the Wilderness Society to join in the discussions. The society issues an annual report criticizing the Forest
