TV 30 celebrates anniversary
By Juli Warren Staff writer
After a year as the new station on the block, TV 30 fights misconceptions and has expanded programming, said staff members celebrating the anniversary.
Employees of the station, which began broadcasting on Jan. 19, 1985, insist the station has blossomed in its first year.
"A lot of people have a conception of it as a student station, but it's really not." Carolyn Robinson, station general manager, said during the celebration at Gammons, 1601 W. 23rd St.
TV 30 is a private station owned by Low Power Technology Inc. of Austin, Texas.
However, students do have some visible positions at the station.
Of the 12 staff members, two are students, with student interns also doing news broadcasts on the air.
The pieces that the news interns produce must be of professional quality to get broadcast, said Robinson, who began her job as general manager on Jan. 1.
She said the two staff members
who were students were the most qualified for the job.
"Two of the air talent people just happen to be students," Robinson said.
Kevin Underhill, Overland Park Junior, was one of the tuxedo-clad staff members celebrating amid the streamers and balloons at the anniversary party.
Getting his TV 30 job, Underhill said, was partly a matter of luck.
Underbill said that he was working as a disc jockey at a bar when a TV 30 crew did a remote broadcast from the bar. A TV 30 staff member suggested Underbill do a screen test.
Underhill said working for TV 30 had made him more comfortable in front of the camera, a skill he said he hoped to use in law school when speaking in front of people.
Underhill has worked at the station since August, he said, and works an average of 15 hours a week.
Tienne Terrel, programming and promotions director, said TV 30 began broadcasting some programming by a new satellite last Saturday.
New programming includes country and western videos on weekends, classic movies at night and during the afternoon, and educational programs.
Staff members said the expanded programming should show that the station was aimed toward all ages.
A recent station poll indicated that most TV 30 viewers were between 18 and 34.
Now the station's demographic sights are set higher.
Robinson said, "We want the programming to attract everyone in Lawrence from college to people in their 80s."
According to the poll, more than 40 percent of people who live in Lawrence, excluding the University audience, watch TV 30 regularly. Denise Bolin, assistant station manager, said.
Terrel said the station wanted to,
provide a local alternative to Kansas
and Nebraska.
And Robinson said that people often compared TV 30 to MTV. But she said TV 30 only runs "squeaky clean" videos and no heavy metal.
Terrel said she thought the station had come a long way.
Tutu speaks from King's pulpit, vows to work against apartheid
ATLANTA — South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu stood yesterday at the pulpit once occupied by Martin Luther King Jr. and promised a campaign of civil disobedience against apartheid laws.
The Associated Press
Tutu was the keynote speaker at an international conference honoring the slain civil rights leader and preacher of non-violent civil disobedience.
If the South African government does not change its racial policies, Tutu said, he will lead "a campaign of civil disobedience against unjust laws."
"Our people are peaceful to a fault," he said. "We are stupid, for we keep going up against an intransigent government. They use tear gas, bullets, dogs and whips."
Representatives of 40 nations attended the conference at Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church, where King was pastor until his assassination in 1968.
A candlelight memorial service was planned for last night at King's tomb in Atlanta. His widow, Coretta Scott King, is to place a wreath at the tomb today.
Today's scheduled observances include "Living the Dream," a musical celebration featuring several top recording stars and others in Washington, New York City and Atlanta. Performers will include Bob Dylan, Joan Beaz, Quincy Jones, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Patti Labelle and others, with Harry Belafonte and Bill Cosby as co-hosts.
Belfaonte, who also is chairman of the Martin Luther King New York State Holiday Commission, said the idea for the linked performances in three cities came from Stevie Wonder.
In addition to that program, Washington D.C., was to stage its 17th city observance of King's birthday. King's birthday was Jan. 15, but Monday was named as the federal holiday.
In Philadelphia, the city and Jackson's People United to Serve Humanity planned a celebration of brotherhood and freedom.
In South Carolina, Gov. Dick Riley, Sen. Ernest Hollings, NAACP national President William F. Gibson and other officials were to gather on the grounds of the Statehouse in Columbia for speeches and song honoring King.
Some people protested the idea of a national holiday for King.
Members of North Carolina's White Patriot Party and other white supremacist groups marched in front of the state Capitol in Raleigh on Saturday, and staged a rally in front of a Confederate monument.
Ku Klux Klansmen staged a parade and cross-burning Saturday at Pulaski, Tenn., where the original Klan was formed in 1865.

"It is so clearly superior to past amplifiers in the low-to mid-priced range—not to mention most amplifiers two to three times its price—that I can unhesitatingly recommend it for even the most demanding high end system."
