KRNU. . .offers students first-hand radio experience.
campus life
On the wavelengths weekdays from 1
p.m. to midnight, KRNU, UNL's
student-operated FM radio station, presents
viewers with a variety of music, commentary
and news.
The purpose of the station however, is to
give broadcast majors practical experience in
encountering the decisions and problems of
a commercial station, according to Larry
Walklin, associate professor of journalism.
KRNU, broadasting at 903 on the FM
dial, operates out of the School of
Journalism at Nebraska Hall. Since February
1970, the station has been licensed by the
Federal Communications Commission as a
non-commercial station.
All 72 staff members are students
majoring in broadcasting. KRNU gives each
student first-hand experience in announcing,
newswriting and play-by-play sportscasting.
Members of an advanced broadcast
reporting class compile news reports and also
produce a daily printed bulletin distributed
throughout the Lincoln campuses.
Programming includes many varieties of
music, weather and interviews with students,
faculty and administrator's. The station has
carried interviews with NU President D. B.
Varner and Dr. Benjamin Spock. KRNU also
broadcast a recent Council on Student Life
meeting.
Many weekly specials are also aired. Major
home athletic events and the Board of
Regents' meetings are broadcast regularly.
The station has lines to several campus
buildings, and can channel remote broadasts .
from Memorial Stadium, the Nebraska
Union, the Coliseum, Love Library
auditorium and Kimball Recital Hall.
KRNU's transmitter sits atop 13-story Abel
Hall, providing the station with a 20-mile
listening radius.
Currently KRNU has three control
studios, a record library, a classroom and a
newsroom.
Due to a growing number of students, the
station will move to newly-remodeled Avery
Laboratory next fall.
Walkin said, "With expanded facilities,
the quality of teaching and effectiveness will
improve. Though Nebraska is one of the best
journalism institutions, we are finally getting
to where we should be."
Student Affairs designs
foreign student orientation
New foreign students were welcomed to the UNL campus
this semester with an orientation program designed to better
acquaint them with the University community and American
culture in general.
Janet Krause of Student Affairs, who helped originate the
program, said that the old method of group orientation failed
to provide the student from an entirely different culture
enough one-to-one contact with individuals who could
understand the newcomers' problems.
The new method provided each of the 38 new students
with an upperclassman or graduate student volunteer from the
same country or interested in the same field of study.
The volunteer acted as guide and counselor after meeting
the new student at the airport. The new students were given a
tour of the city and the campus and were provided with
assistance for going through general registration.
The program formally lasted a week. However, the
friendships that were established will be of great value to the
student throughout his stay at the University Mrs. Krause said.
"We are now in the process of evaluating the program. This
fall we are likely to use group meetings in addition to
one-to-one orientation because the number of new students
will be much larger."
Mrs. Krause said problems that a new foreign student
encounters include language barriers, learning everyday
courtesy customs, transferring credit from foreign universities,
adjusting to American food, housing arrangements, racial
dicrimination, financial and scholastic problems.
