\"ColemanJake Janeiro: Why KJHK?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coleman Francis:\u00a0<\/strong>My roommate is one of the Music Directors here and during the summer he said they were taking applications for DJs and I thought it would be fun so I signed up. It was a midnight to 3am show, where I prerecorded my sets. This semester, I really wanted to a do a live show and my schedule worked out so I could \u00a0do it on Tuesdays when I did not \u00a0have class.<\/p>\n

JJ: Are you involved in any other campus organizations?<\/strong><\/p>\n

CF:\u00a0<\/strong>I just started getting involved with the new ACLU chapter here. We have our first meeting next week. I think that is the only other program I am associated with here.<\/p>\n

JJ:\u00a0Movies or books, which do you prefer?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

CF:\u00a0<\/strong>I love going to the movies, it is like another hobby of mine I guess. I just went last night\u00a0to see Get Out<\/em>.\u00a0My girlfriend\u00a0and I probably go once every two weeks, sometimes more sometimes less.<\/p>\n

JJ:\u00a0What are your top two or three movies?\"Coleman<\/strong><\/p>\n

CF:\u00a0<\/strong>I never like rank them based on “Oh, that is always going to be my favorite movie” because it shifts with\u00a0what I am into. Get Out<\/em>\u00a0was absolutely amazing and is probably in my top three and I just saw it yesterday. Stuff like\u00a0The Revenant\u00a0<\/em>was really good and I just saw A Cure for Wellness<\/em> which was also really good. I probably would not rank it in my top movies, but just movies in that style.<\/p>\n

JJ: What is your favorite album?<\/strong><\/p>\n

CF:\u00a0<\/strong>That is a good one. My favorite album is probably\u00a0Sour Soul<\/em> by Ghostface Killah and BADBADNOTGOOD. I love the mix of hip hop and jazz, my two favorite genres of music.<\/p>\n

JJ: Why did you choose Business Analytics and Political Science as your major\/minor combination?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

CF:\u00a0<\/strong>I went to school freshmen year as an accounting major then I actually took accounting classes and hated it. So I switched to finance and finance was okay, but I do not really see myself pursuing it as a career. I decided to add another major because I had time in my schedule. I wanted to do something fun and that\u00a0I was passionate about so I chose political science. Last week I just switched to Business Analytics because I think it sounds really interesting. I had to cut Political Science to a minor because, if I do that, I can graduate a semester early. I thought it was worth the trade off.<\/p>\n

\"ColemanJJ: What is your favorite season and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

CF:\u00a0<\/strong>I always say summer but I hate the heat. So I guess it depends where I am living at the time. So in Kansas, I am definitely a spring kind of guy. Nice enough to walk around at night but you are not going to have the hundred degree weather.
\n
\nJJ: What is your favorite animal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

CF:<\/strong>\u00a0Are we talking pet wise or just in general the spirit of the animal?<\/p>\n

JJ:\u00a0<\/strong>Lets go with general spirit of the animal first.<\/p>\n

CF:\u00a0<\/strong>Definitely a bear, I have a bear tattoo on my arm. Not because I am aggressive or anything, I just think they are beautiful creature. Pet-wise, I love dogs but I also have a gecko named Cakes. He is one year old.<\/p>\n

JJ: What is your favorite or best KJHK contribution?<\/strong><\/p>\n

CF:\u00a0<\/strong>I’ve written some\u00a0reviews of albums online. I do not think I ever found my favorite album while reviewing. I really just like going to the shows we put on, like going to our\u00a0Jackpot show, Battle of the DJs. All the shows we put on are really cool so I enjoy being a part of that.<\/p>\n

JJ: Is there anything you would like to give more detail on?<\/strong><\/p>\n

CF:<\/strong> I said I like to cook, want to know what my favorite thing to cook is?\"Coleman<\/p>\n

JJ:<\/strong> Yes, definitely!<\/p>\n

CF: <\/strong>It would definitely be coconut milk curry. It is my go to meal.<\/p>\n

JJ:<\/strong>\u00a0How did you get into cooking?
\n
\nCF:<\/strong> I would always watch the Food Network growing up. I never wanted to be a cook or anything. I just started working at The Merc and my girlfriend works at Natural Grocers so we are just around this beautiful food. It is a way to save money too and it is fun. It is like a free hobby that you need to do. Everyone has to eat so why not have fun with it?<\/p>\n
