When Dick Wright was graduated from
UConn in 1964 he made his
vision of studytype music. He
Instead he was drafted into the Army and sent to Thule, Greenland.
"They didn't know what to do with me because I was a singer," he said. "And because they couldn't find anything else for me, they managed the manager of the armed forces radio station."
Wright's experience has held him in good stead. Today he is station manager of KANU, a position from KANU he will resign Dec. 1 to become KANU's associate
When Wright was discharged from the Army, he came back to KU and took a master's degree in music. And after receiving his degree, he went to New York.
"I AUDIATIONED at the Metropolitan Opera. "You've got a good voice," they told me, "but how many roles do you know?" They were quick to answer, suggesting I go back and learn more, suggested I go back and learn more,
"NBC had an opera program at the time,
so I auditioned for that too."
"When I got there I realized that there were thousands of young people just like me," he said. "I couldn't make myself bear that I wasn't going to stay at the top."
"But I was getting discouraged pounding the sidewalks. My wife had had our first child, and I was homesick, and so I decided to come back."
He returned to Lawrence and became musical director of KANU.
After he started to work at the radio station, he received a letter from NBC saying he had been accepted for their program.
He decided to remain in Lawrence.
"I'll always wonder whether I made a mistake," he said.
IN ADDITION TO working at the radio station, Wright rejoined the musician's union and played with jazz bands throughout the area. In 1986 he left the radio station and became manager of the record department at a Lawrence music company.
"By that time," he said, "I was making $60 a month; I had six children. I was singing around the area, and I was getting up at 4 a.m. filling vending machines.
"Because I was under civil service they couldn't raise my pay, and with six children, I knew I couldn't continue on that."
In 1970 Wright returned to KANU as station manager.
On Dec.1, he will leave that post to devote more time to teaching.
Wright, also a broadcaster on his station's "Jazz in the Night" and Saturday morning jazz show, said he didn't know what his duties would be under the new management.
"I'm so interested in so many different things that I felt I'd be shortchanging the situation."

The station has changed, he said, from primarily a music station to a station that places emphasis on news and public affairs.
AT 118,000 wattts, KANU one of the most powerful FM radio stations in the country. Its listening area covers more than 100 miles, and it has a potential audience of 3 million. KANU is on cable systems in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Arkansas.
"This large area makes programming especially difficult," he said. "People's tastes are changing. They used to be dictated too strictly by the commercial radio stations. But public radio has made its presence known.
Besides becoming the associate director of KANU, and teaching courses in music and art at various colleges,
"Our listeners find our programming not politicized in a stuffy way. And not political in a stuffy way."
"You never think you've done enough. It's nice to know that people like what you do."
Papanek, senior design consultant for Volvo A-B, is developing a taxi for the handicapped and creating "Work Enrichment" programs for the workers.
Final preparations for an auction on lost items collected by various departments of the University of Kansas were made last fall to the Senate Student Services Committee.
Senate authorizes auction calls for central tutor file
Panakep is chairman of Design at the Kansas City Art Institute. He was Dean of the School of Design at CalArts and a professor in Denmark, England and Canada.
He works as design consultant for the World Health Organization developing diagnostic kits for primary health care for villages in the Third World.
The committee, authorized by the Student Senate at its last meeting to organize a sale of the lost items, decided to hold the auction on 5 p. Friday, Dec. 3, in Hoch Auditorium.
The demonstration is scheduled to be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. ISA members will walk down Jayhawk Boulevard distributing leaflets that protest the recent arrest for disorderly conduct of 92 Iran students at a demonstration in Houston.
The Iranian students in Houston were protesting the deportation of Iranian students.
Vorkapan, design consultant for Volvo A-B of Sweden, UNESCO-UNIDO, and Nikon of Japan will speak at 7:30 Thursday in room 3140 of Wesson Hall.
Papanek's talk, "Because People Count: 12 Strategies for Post-Industrial Design," is part of the University of Kansas fall 1976 conference on Architecture and School of Architecture and Urban Design.
A petition was authorized to be written for the committee asking Chancellor Archie Dykes to review a Senate recycling program, and being the University operate the program.
The committee recommended that the proceeds from the auction go to the services committee's budget, but the Senate must approve that recommendation. The committee also decided that any unsold items would be given to a public service organization.
Papanek's book, "Design for the Real World," is translated into 23 languages. He wrote "Nomadic Furniture" and "Nomadic Furniture Two" with Jim Hemmesey and recently co-created a website for Dot Work. "How We Work," by Dan Doan Work, will be published in 1977 by Panthen Books.

Now, there is such a file in the Senate office and the Information Center, but the committee said that the Senate office was too understaffed to constantly update the file, and that the information center could better organize and operate it.
A spokesman for the Iranian Student Association (ISA) at the University of Kansas said last night plans were under way for a demonstration today to protest what the ISA says is harassment of Iranian students in France and in the United States.
The French government arrested and deported Iranian students who were charged in the Nov. 2, shooting of an Iranian diplomat. However, the New York Times reported that a group named Reza Razad had been killed in a shooting shooting. The Iranian diplomat was killed.
Foer said the faculty members would send letters to the Houston police department to protest his arrest. He will be in the Office of Immigration in an attempt to stop the possible deportation.
Both the petition and the resolution, after being accepted by the services committee, will be sent to the full Senate at its Dec. 1 meeting.
