Phone Calls Swamp Information Center
By WM. RAY SELLERS Kansan Staff Writer
Each month 2,000 calls are made to UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA. Fifty-two thousand were made in the month before Christmas when it is disksed on four phone rings in a small office tucked away in a corner of Strong Street.
The office belongs to the University of Kansas Information Center. The center was established on August 23, 1970. Before that time the center had been temporarily set up three times last spring and summer, according to the university director of the Information Center.
The center can handle up to 235 calls an hour, which means that its three incoming lines are sometimes in constant use, Mrs. Gilham said. This upper limit has been reached a couple of times.
IN THE PAST these peak periods presented a problem because there were only three phones. It was difficult for the technician to outgaze line to obtain the answers to the questions that the callers were asking. This situation has improved now that the caller is having access to the phone.
The most calls ever received in a day was 73 on Dec. 12, the day after the explosion in Summerfield. Hall During the attack, Mrs. Gilham said, the staff members volunteer their services.
Besides Mrs. Gilman, there are eight part-time members of the Information Center staff. These teachers provide an average shift of four hours a day.
"We have to be creative because each rumor is different and needs a different answer," she said.
MRS. GILHAM SAID that they were not so drunk as a rumor as they can, but had no set rule to follow in checking out the threedon at Summerfield from staff member at the site and at the hospital to keep the center on track.
"Sometimes we get different answers from different sources.

The series is an attempt to show communities across the nation the magnitude of the drug's impact, and coping with it on a local level.
Golf pro Arnold Palmer, television commentator David Susskind, holding Company, football player O. J. Simpson, the U.S. police former drug addicts will join forces to bring the drug abuse problem down.

perience." Warner said.
He urged all interested persons to contact him at his home
in which case we tell the caller the different opinions we have received from different sources.
"WE TALK to everyone in seeking the information about rumors, whether it is thechanism or the police officer or the street people, depending on who is best qualified to answer questions
Mrs. Gilham said that they never asked who was calling When there is a need to call there is a need to ask only for his phone number
The idea for the documentary came to Warner from his two years of military experience which he witnessed war firsthand.
We don't give out phone numbers," said Mrs. Gilham.
"For phone numbers we direct information at 864-2700. Information
The center files information to students in places where students can get drills in Lawrence, bus services, legal names and phone numbers, drug abuse the names and phone numbers, the local political organizations the local political organizations the new clippings about the University.
THE CENTER does not confine itself to questions about rumors. A great variety of other topics is available to members and members are unable to answer a question, they sometimes direct the caller to who can see them, or they are open and what academic departments and administrative offices which tell them are open and what they do. They need University organizations telling who the officers are, their phone numbers and where their offices are.
**ALL KNDS** of questions have been asked of the center. During first week of school, they question such as the names of the five oceans, according to Karena, the student teacher. Springs asked students to answer the staff. One called asked the words to the school song, so Karena sang them to him over the whole day.
"We are called a lot of times and asked what the sirens are playing at the beginning of the semester, we were asked where the different buildings were campus," Mrs. Guhlam said.
The center tries to help the University community in whatever way it can. One weekend last fall, the center held for a band member who had missed the bus to an away game.
DURING CHRISTMAS break a lot of people can find out how the basketball team had done in the tournament. Some even have to hold the phone to the radio, so they could listen to the game.
Warner worked on one script for four months, but it never will. He wrote that he completed "Flowshares and Pruning Hooks," only one and one-half weeks. He said he felt he had completed a good film when he did.

"We also welcome calls letting us know of things that are hap- pening in our community, mainly the University com- munity, but we also serve the people of Lawrence. We try to fill in what are there," Mrs. Ghilam said.
When finished, Commonwealth will feature the film as a short at the SXSW festival. It is hoped that Commonwealth would also make the film available to audiences in the U.S.
