Chancellor hires adviser to assist with policies

Chancellor Robert Hemenway has hired a University of Kansas alumnus and former law professor to serve as counselor to the chancellor.
Reggie Robinson, who holds degrees from the University and from the law school, said he would assist the chancellor with University policy and issues relating to the communities where the University is located.
"My duties haven't been too clearly defined because this is a new position," Robinson said. "But the chancellor and I both believe in developing the University's mission in those communities."
Robinson will not serve as a lawyer for the University. Robinson said 'counselor' was a Washington term for senior adviser.
Hemenway, who was out of town
yesterday and could not be reached, for comment, said in a press release that he was pleased that the University could attract someone with Robinson' qualifications.
"The fact that Reggie wanted to come back to
Hemenway: Has hired a KU alumnus to be an adviser.
Kansas makes me realize that the University can be a key factor in enticing people to be a part of the state's future." Hemenway said.
Robinson also will teach one class each semester at the law school, where he was a faculty member before moving to Washington, D.C., in 1993.
In Washington, Robinson was a deputy associate attorney general
and the acting director of the Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime.
He said that in those positions he focused largely on policy issues, which would prepare him to deal with policy issues at the University.
"At Justice you deal with a lot of legal issues, of course, but so many of the decisions you make boil down to basic policy questions," he said. "You're making choices that will ultimately lead to the position that the United States or the Clinton administration take on an issue."
Georgann Eglinski, associate dean of law, said Robinson would be a valuable addition to the faculty.
"He was a very highly regarded teacher when he taught here before," she said. "He comes now with a range of experience in Washington which will only add to his allure."

University of Kansas students who listen to KJHK may have the chance to travel to Europe this summer.
The student-operated radio station, in conjunction with Council Travel, 622 W. 12th St., and the Rail Europe Group, is sponsoring a promotion to send students to Europe for the summer. The promotion is called "Going The Distance For A European Summer Giveaway."
“It's something we've never done before,” said Angela Wilson, Mapertville, Ill., senior and KJHK's promotion director. “We always do tickets and T-shirt giveaways,
but we never did anything like traveling in this size."
Council Travel will donate the plane tickets to Europe and the European rail pass, she said.
Dan Weiss, Council Travel manager, said that his agency was busiest during late spring.
The last chance for students to register for the promotion will be Saturday at KJHK's tent at Student Union Activities' Day On The Hill. Registrations cannot be made by phone. Students must be 18 or older to register and cannot be employed by the radio station.
The promotional travel package includes air travel from Kansas City to New York to Paris. The promotion also includes a five-day rail pass valid for two months. The pass is valid for travel to Italy, Spain, France, Germany and
Switzerland. The package does not include food or living expenses.
The winner also will receive a four-piece luggage set from American Tourister, 1025 N. Third St. The promotion package is worth $1,100.
"We thought European travel and travel in general was of great interest to KU students." Wilson said.
Beginning May 3 and continuing through May 7, KJHK will draw a name daily for a final drawing. At 10 a.m. on May 8, one name out of the five finalists will be annquenced.
The person whose name is drawn will have 90.7 minutes to call the station and claim the prize, Wilson said.
If the announced winner does not call during the allotted time, another name will be drawn. The winner must have his or her student identification number ready to receive the prize.
