EDITION NO.1E
My freshman year of college seems like a lifetime ago, five years to be exact. I was living in the dorms and becoming acquainted with Lawrence and its culture. I immediately noticed the local and national music scene that dominated Massachusetts St. on the weekends. Coming from a city where live music was widely available, I was surprised and intrigued that a "small" town could have such a thriving interest in the arts and also happened to be a stop on many national tours. I was particularly fascinated by KJHK, which played music that I loved but never imagined hearing on the radio.
Without a car, I would often take a leisurely stroll across campus on my way downtown. On one of these walks, I spotted an acquaintance and stopped to talk to him. He was on his way to a KJHK meeting at the Union and mentioned that he was going to sign up for a DJ rotation slot. I decided to tag along and see if I could do the same.
The meeting was brief and we quickly signed our names onto the schedule. I managed to get the coveted 3 a.m. time slot.

Check out Lindsey's feature on page 8 about JKHJ and its relationship to Lawrence. It's an interesting read that reminded me of the short time I spent at KJHK. It's an important slice of Lawrence culture and I am happy to have good memories associated with it. Signing off...
I figured I could give up several hours of sleep to play music to a town in slumber. And so my brief radio career began.
My first night of training gave me the opportunity to do voice-over work for KJHK advertising and allowed me to explore what seemed like an endless amount of music from all eras of KJHK's history. I fell in love with the Shack and its walls cluttered with fliers and posters marking the hey-day of '80s punk and '90s indie rock. It felt like home — the kind of place I spent most of my teenage years watching shitty bands screaming into broken microphones.
On my first night, I made the trek to the Shack from the dorms. I was excited knowing that I would have complete control over the music for the next two hours. I quickly browsed the enormous selection of albums while the DJ before me finished up his set. He signed off and then turned to me and said, "It's all yours." Indeed it was. I had the entire Shack to myself. I quickly played through tracks by Black Flag, Black Dice and Red House Painters, bands you might never hear side by side, let alone on the radio.

in student riders
BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com
Perture, alcohol and sweat pervade the air. Students drink colorful liquids from water bottles or sneak sips from cans of Busch Light and Keystone hidden beneath jackets. The group, stacked body upon body, begins an impromptu rendition of the national anthem followed by the Rock Chalk chant. One couple makes out, trying to steady themselves against the wall. This is everything one imagines as a college party at the University of Kansas ... and it's on wheels.
The growth in KU Safe.
2011, SafeBus recorded 37,283 rides, a 70 percent increase from the 21,999 rides recorded during the corresponding time period last school year.
"The numbers have been quite surprising," said Derek Meier, transport coordinator for KU on Wheels. Meier explained that the large growth in ridership was because of the restructuring of routes.
The secret here is adding Daisy Hill," he said. Safe Bus,

postponed in senate
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com
In an effort to give student senators the chance to better represent their constituents and themselves, the student rights committee drafted a student senator Code of Ethics to be added to the senate rules and regulations.
Student senate member Brandon Weiderholt, a freshman from Garnett, said he hadn't experienced anything unethical during his time in senate. However, Weiderholt said it would be a good thing to have.
"When you're controlling a budget that big and with that much power, this is definitely a good idea," Widerholt said. "We're trying to make sure students know their senators are being held accountable."
Student senators are responsible for controlling a $24 million budget. With no current code of conduct or similar ethical code directly related to senate, the student rights committee proposed the bill to provide some accountability for student senators.
Harris said he felt chief of staff Aaron Dollinger moved to have the bill postponed in order to enable himself more time to look it over because the bill would add more responsibilities to his position.
Student senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Wyandotte and a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, is a sponsor of the bill and the driving force behind it. He said throughout the past few years senate didn't have an ideal image.
"I am a little disappointed that it got postponed but its better than being defeated," Harris
1. Members of the Student Senate at the University of Kansas are empowered by the student body to represent student interests both responsibly as well as ethically.
SUGGESTED ARTICLE FOR THE STUDENT SENATE CODE OF ETHICS:

3. Senators are elected by their fellow students. Therefore, it is their duty to pay attention during session to make sure that their constituency is being duly represented.
said.
Dollinger said he thought it was necessary to have a document that makes it clear how senators should act and to have the enforcement of the code go through his office because his staff is very knowledgeable of senate rules and regulations.
The bill will be the first item on the agenda at the next full senate meeting on March 16 in the Kansas room of the Kansas
"I think that it is important that when you have a piece of legislation that directly affects any position you thoroughly go through it," Dollinger said.
