between that role and his background as an English professor.
"It's a teaching situation," Hemenway said. "You have information you want to communicate, and you want to share it effectively."
"The Red Cross serves people in need," he said as he handed a cup to one thirsty student who didn't have any money to donate.
Later, Hemenway was in yet another role wearing a Red Cross hard hat and hawking lemonade in front of Strong Hall.
"Today I was a dutiful father, at least for an hour," he joked.
Organizers noted that some students seemed curious about the stand but shook their heads shyly when asked if they wanted to donate.
Hemenway said he tried to combine work and family when he could, such as last weekend when he took his son Zack, 15, with him to New Orleans for the basketball game.
Frederick said students probably didn't reaccomiz them.
"They're more intimidated by Bob Frederick than they are by me," Hemenway said. "They're afraid he might be in a bad mood."
"They're probably wondering. Who are those guys, standing out there in suits?" Frederick said.

hemenway said he often met his wife, Leah, for walks around campus, which gave them time to talk about the kids.
Because a previous appointment had been canceled, Hemenway was able to meet his son Matt, 23, for lunch.

"It's a symbiotic relationship," he said. "The community of Lawrence helps the University, and the University helps the community."
Hemenway said that although selling lemonade was unusual for him, he often spent up to two hours a day away from his desk and meetings interacting with the public, whether welcoming a visiting group to campus, speaking to a chamber of commerce or attending a board meeting for a nonprofit group.
"I always try to put Arna to bed at 9, which gives us a chance to talk," he said, Arna, 11, is Hemenway's youngest son. "I'd say three out of five nights I'm able to do that."

Although the chancellor wasn't required to be involved, he said he wanted to be part of the process to understand how well-informed graduates were.

But on Monday, a talk with Arna would have to wait because the chancellor's schedule was full until 10 p.m. The afternoon was made up of more meetings, one with a committee to discuss progress on a landscape master plan, one with a faculty member to plan a visit to Ukraine in June 2001 and a weekly meeting with Burg, his executive assistant.
"I know you have nothing to read," said Maria Carlson, associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures, as she handed Hemenway a folder of information about the Ukraine trip. They discussed what other countries to visit and who should accompany the chancellor.
At 6 p.m. the sky was darkening, but Hemenway's day wasn't finished. After a bite to eat, it was off to the Kansas Union to interview graduating seniors as part of a general education assessment and review.
"I will essentially turn myself over to you." Hemenway told Carlson. "I want to show support for the University's programs there and come back with a better understanding of them."
"I sometimes miss the contemplative time," Hemenway said. "I try to snatch an hour when I can."
After the meeting with Burg, Hemenway had a few rare, quiet minutes to answer e-mail and work on notes for a class he teaches at his home, The Outlook, on Lilac Lane.

The discussion focused on The Last Cattle Drive, a novel by KU alumnus Robert Day. Hemenway tried to get the students to define and support their opinions about the characters and themes of the novel.

After the students left, Hemenway admitted feeling a parental concern for the students as their lives changed throughout their college experience.
