Mike Ulin, station manager, said,
"If there was a violation, then it was
done in error and will not continue."
during error and have violated the regulations, there are four possible responses by the FCC.
One is a reprimand letter, which tells the station that it violated regulations. An admonishment letter, another option, is more harsh and would be kept in the FCC's file on the station.
Other options include fines ranging from $100 to $20,000, and, in extreme cases, revocation of the station's license.
Elliott said that since he had been notified of possible violations, he had tried to increase student awareness of the regulations. He is giving more specific instruction to the sales staff, putting together a new student handbook of guidelines and making a special effort to train the sales manager and production manager about FCC regulations.
Elliott doubted that the station was in violation, and said the inquiry had been positive because it increased awareness of regulations at the sta-
ion. But Greenwood, the resident who
sent the complaint, said he thought the possible donor announcement violations were only at the surface of the situation.
He said that station format changes and a request filed last spring to increase wattage may have been an effort to get more donors and more money.
"I am concerned that the journalism school is turning KJHK into an operation for its sales staff to rake in the dough," Greenwood said.
Elliott said the increase in wattage was requested because the station was difficult to receive in some areas of Lawrence, and that the format change was done to better serve the student body.

KJHJ will make a budget request for the next two yea.'s before Student Senate at 9 p.m. tomorrow.
The station has been allotted $31,000 by Student Senate for both of the past two years. Ulin would not disclose what amount he would ask be allocated at the hearings tomorrow.
Jane Hutchinson, chairman of Student Senate Executive Committee, said she doubted the investigation would have any effect on how much money the station received.

"Just because a group is under investigation doesn't mean they did anything wrong." Hutchinson said.
"I can't say that it would affect our funding."
Greenhouse effect could alter book
- Continued from p. 1
Shelly said the greenhouse effect could devastate the Earth because rising temperatures would cause sea levels to rise.
"The greenhouse effect could cause food prices to double," Sheilly said. "Some meteorologists say the United States would become a major importer. Kansas could lose 90 percent of its crops."
Shelly said the rising food prices could cause political unrest and violence because people would have to spend as much as 30 percent of their income on food. Although people in some countries already spend this amount, he said middle-class people now spend 14 percent of their income on food.

house effect. "Safe nuclear power is a major alternative to the burning of fossil fuels." Shelly said.
"We've got about 10 years to reduce by 50 percent the amount of fossil fuels being burned."
Despite Shelly's argument for the use of nuclear power, Frank Jerry De Noyelles, director of the environmental studies program, said nuclear energy would not be a good alternative until safe storage was found for nuclear waste.
"A good energy alternative is to use energy conservation." De Novelles said. "If we put less gas into our cars, burn less coal and burn fewer fires in fireplaces, it would cut down on the carbon dioxide in the air."
Students face few humanities requirements
music. "That makes it very hard to out the time," she said. "And the requirements in engineering are so heavy that it's very difficult for an engineering student to find time" for humanities requirements.
Cheney said the one bright spot in the survey was that the number of schools letting students choose from a virtually unlimited list of courses had decreased. Only 13 percent of schools allow students to choose from unlimited course offerings, down
"That's a big drop," she said. "The structure is tightening up. When you've got a situation where students are told 'take three of the following' and they can choose from 620 courses, they're going to miss major areas of human knowledge."
from 19 percent five years ago.
It is possible to earn a bachelor's degree from 38 percent of colleges and universities without taking any course in history; 45 percent without taking a course in English or American literature; 62 percent without
taking a philosophy course; and 77 percent without studying a foreign language.
The NEH study found that requirements in math and the sciences were increased by a greater number of hours than those for humanities.
For example, math requirements rose from two to 2.5 hours from 1983 to 1988, a 24 percent increase. Natural sciences and social science requirements each climbed an average of 0.4 hours, for increases of 10.3 percent and 7.3 percent respectively.
Cheney said the higher increases in math and science did not necessarily reflect college priorities because there were so few requirements in that area to begin with.
The math and science requirements are welcome in any case, she said, because "there are at least as many people who major in the humanities who do not have math as there are people who are engineering majors who don't know about the humanities."

The Lion-Heart Players performed excerpts from a play written by Paul Jackson and based on the legends of Robin Hood, Maid Marian and the Merry Band.
The review raised between $4,000 and $5,000 for the Seem-To-Be Players, Averill said.
