T arry Hatteberg m Z— — 5- local television personality is man of action images stick. I try to bring out people ' s real personality. by Bob Dodson of NBC News said, To touch people - you ' ve got to be Brian Howell and Chuck Sigler people. Larry Hatteberg believes this too. He began at KAKE in 1963. He told ■ notojournalist. What does that mean? Most people would think that it is a reporter who can write less and use more pictures. For Larry Hat- teberg this means he doesn ' t write his words, he speaks them, and better yet, shows them. Written work can be put in 1 Vi columns of the New York Times, but pictures cannot, Hatteberg said. Pictures plant seeds in peoples ' min- ds, said Larry Hatteberg, associate news director for Channel 10, KAKE- TV in Wichita. It ' s a challenging art, he said. Photographers are plenty. Reporters are plenty. What we need are story tellers. Everyone has a story to tell. Not just the people with the titles. Hatteberg shows this each week on his feature, ' Hatteberg ' s People. He tells a story about the common man. He uses pictures to create a feeling, be it pride, or sadness. You touch people with words, pic- tures, he said. But Hatteberg never forgets the human element. Let the people tell the story. They can tell it with much more eloquen- ce, Hatteberg said. By presenting a picture that is sometimes humorous, sometimes touching, maybe even both, but always touches a nerve, Hatteberg believes, Statistics wash over - MAN OF THE PEOPLE-Toating the tool of his trade, Larry Hatteberg and his mini-cam are a familiar site to many people in Kansas who have been featured on Hatteberg ' s People. Hatteberg was on campus during Focus on Cowley Week . them he ' d work for nothing just to get experience. He was hired and for over 21 years has worked his way up the ladder of success. Hatteberg lives in Wichita with his wife and two daughtecs. He is currently involved with a Tuesday night, three-minute feature, Hatteberg ' s People on the 10 o ' clock edition of the KAKE news broadcast every week. In 1976, he began the three-minute series, and he spends anywhere from 10-12 hours preparing. Editing is the most

Cowley week filled with activities The Coaches were the over-all win- lers and members Debbie Davis, Bob luden, Ron Ryer, Joyce Eastman, Jay ackson, and Pam Mattingly had little rouble figuring out what to do with he $25 prize money. Bob Juden divided the money up Detween the team members and they =ach ended up with $5 which was quickly spent. I don ' t know what I spent my prize noney on, said Debbie Davis. I just Dut it in my billfold and probably spent it sometime. Officials, Linda Hargrove, Pam vAattingly and Lavonna Jacobs were cept busy at the tournament calling ime, giving the score, and blowing p MihMgg X the whistle. Although the turnout for Open Colige Night on Tuesday was a bit of a disappointment, Linda Puntney, coordinator of the week felt that evening was a success, too. All of the night classes were open to anyone who wanted to attend them and then we offered 13 additional courses on a one-time basis. Studen- ts, faculty and staff instructed the new courses and they ' re cooporation was super. Classes were offered in a variety of areas ranging from Producing Organizational Newsletters, to Pop Dancing to Cowboy Lessons. We only had about 40 people par- ticipate in the Open College Night but those who were there had a lot of fun, Puntney said. Bob Juden ' s Cowboy Lessons and the Pop Dancing taught by Joey Wilson and Jim Pellock were probably the most popular cour- ses and I think the instructors had a good time, too. Larry Hatteberg, KAKE-TV photojournalism was on campus Wed- nesday giving talks on different aspects of the media and on trips he had taken for TV 10. His appearance was as the featured speaker for the third Crabtree Convocation and he drew about 300 people for the presentation. His topic was People Oriented Television, included video segments from his TV feature Hat- teberg ' s People. Nearly 250 strangely dressed (Continued on page 25)

tedious, piecing together sections of raw tape. It is like putting together a big jigsaw puzzle. He sometimes works up to the 10 o ' clock deadline in editing the tape, inserting his voice, piecing voices together, adding music, and sound effects before com- pleting the finished product. He composed these tapes in a six- by-six foot room. In each of the six editing rooms are two VCR machines, two color monitors and a console to control both. Hatteberg has his own portable computer to type his script for recording. To produce the sound he works in a rather small, sound-proof room, to get the voice effect that his feature is know for. Sometimes it is hard to fit it all in, in only three minutes. To give it the whole effect, I try to touch on all of the topics, Hatteberg said. Until 1979 I worked with film and in late 79 we converted to videotape. In my work we do a lot of traveling, said Hatteberg. In 1980 we traveled to the Democratic National Convention in New York. Other places he has traveled are Japan, China, Mexico, and New Zealand. Hatteberg, a Winfield High School graduate grew up in Winfield where his mother still resides. Being in the public eye, he is easily recognized and people notice his face. I get a lot of double takes. KAKE-TV presents a noon, 5, 6, and 10 o ' clock broadcast. In photojournalsim, shooting is the fun part, editing is tedious, said Hat- teberg. Working with people makes the whole job worth it. Hatteberg got his start in jour- nalism through the Winfield High School newspaper and yearbook staff. While serving as photo editor of the student publications he had some pictures published by the Winfield Courier and that was enough to let him know what his life ' s work was to be.
