KJHK to establish promotional guides
By Sandra Moran
Kansan staff writer
The KJHK staff meet Friday afternoon and will meet again today to establish guidelines for promotional programming.
Since Wednesday night, after warnings by a Topeka communications lawyer, concert promotions at the student-run radio station have carefully monitored, said Tim Menzendlek, KOJH general manager.
"What we've got to do is sit down and define, or get a handle of what the word 'promote' means," Mensendek said.
One topic that will be discussed today will be "Band of the Week" segments.
Each week KJHK features a different band and announces where that band will appear.
Mensendiek said he was uncertain if this was a violation of the Communications Act of 1934.
'We'll look at 'Band of the Week'
just because . . . the title suggests
promotion. . . Mensendiek said.
Menskind said it was illegal for any non-commercial radio station to promote an organization that made a profit. This includes bands.
Because KJKH is a non-commercial station, it must adhere to strict
rules governing concert promotions and promotional giveaways.
"‘Band of the Week’ is too promotional," he said, "‘I’ll stand on that.'
Mike Ulin, KJHK operations manager, told the staff at Friday's meeting that they should not continue "Band of the Week."
"Band of the Week" is too promotional," he said. "I'll stand on that." Jason McIntosh, KJHK station manager, suggested changing the title Music News." He recommended having the segment be an interview with a band and announcing that it would be performing in Lawrence.
Mensendiek said it was difficult to determine what was a violation because the act was not well defined. "Have we been in violation?" Mensendiek said. "It's still too early to say."
Mensendiek said promotional violations were different from other violations because they affected individual students rather than the station. Each violation could result in a $1,000 fine, a one-year jail term or both.
The meetings were called by Mensendiek after Michael Merriam, a Topeka lawyer, warned KJHK staff members Wednesday about the legalities of on-air concert promotions and album and concert ticket giveaways.
Hayden marks Arbor Day with tree-planting goals
By a Kansan reporter
TOPEKA - It was a day not fit for man or beast, but John Strickler, Kansas State University extension forester, said it was perfect for planting trees.
Strickler took part in Gov. Mike Hayden's annual Arbor Day tree planting ceremonies Friday at Cedar Crest, the Governor's residence.
A crowd of elementary students, garden club members and arborists braved cold, blustery wind and missing rain to take part in the event.
announced a statewide tree planting program being undertaken as part of the anniversary of Earth Day.
"If you think about it, planting a tree is one of the most optimistic things you can do," Strickler said. "If you don't have optimism for the future, you'll never plant a tree."
He said the goal of the program was to plant 2.4 million trees every year for the next decade; one tree for each tree in the program is called "Trees for Kansas."
Hayden echoed the sentiment and
"The trees you're seeing today are just a small part of the 24 million trees we hope to see Kansans plant during the 1990s." Hayden said.
He helped -elementary students plant five trees on the grounds of Cedar Crest; a hackberry tree, an osage orange tree, a tulip tree and two lacebark elm trees. Each tree will be marked by a bronze plaque, dedicating it to the students who helped plant it.
