Lawrence woman bitten in breast after checking on neglected dogs
A 20-year-old Lawrence woman was treated for a puncture wound to the breast Wednesday after being bitten by a dog.
The woman was treated at PromptCare, 3500 Clinton Parkway Place.
Lawrence police said the woman, an employee of the Lawrence Humane Society, was bitten by a pit bull at 4 p.m. in the 1900 block of East 19th Street. She had gone to the location to check on a report of neglected dogs.
Chancellor will work his second shift on phones at KU Information Center
The University Information Center will have an expert on campus affairs answering calls today. Chancellor Robert Hemenway will work his second shift
this year as an open-
11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Last November when Hemenway
answered calls he did it an-
onymously, but this time he wants
the word to get out, he said.
Hemenway: manning the phones.
"I thought it would be a good way to be available to people." Hemenway said, "It's a chance for people to call in and let me know what we need to be doing as a university." The chancellor said he wanted students and faculty to call him at KU Info to inquire about University-related issues.
"I have a reasonably good idea of what's going on at the University.
and what's coming up, so this will be an opportunity for people to ask me questions that they have," he said.
The staff is looking forward to Hemenway's return, said Susan Elkins, KU Info coordinator.
There were several reasons the chancellor's visit would be meaningful to KU info, she said.
"The purpose is to give us publicity and remind students we're here, and to give the chancellor a look at the other side of things over here and a chance to talk to random students." Elkins said.
Elkins said that the chancellor's good sense of humor complemented the laid-back environment at KU Info.

Institute reports embezzled funds attempted suicide
By Laura Roddy
Iroddy kanson.com
Kansas staff writer.
The University of Kansas has released little information about two incidents involving the Institute for Public Policy and Business Research that were made public last week.
Sgt. Chris Keary of the KU Public Safety Office could not confirm if the employee suspected of the embezzlement was the same employee who attempted suicide.
More than $1,000 was embezzled from the institute between Dec. 12 and March 4, and an employee attempted suicide in its Survey Research Center Tuesday evening.
Kathryn Clark, University Relations representative, said that the Survey Research Center would not close, but that no surveys were being done at this time.
The survey center employs one supervisor and about 40 students who conduct telephone surveys, mail surveys and focus group interviews, she said.
Clark said that the University of Kansas was in the process of reviewing the institute's procedures.
The director of the institute, Charles Krider, could not be reached for comment.
The public safety office has turned over the embezzlement case to the Douglas County District Attorney's Office. The case is being reviewed and no decision has been made whether to file charges. More information will not be released unless charges are filed, Keary said.
The investigation of the embezzlement began on March 3 when a student employee of the institute told police that additional hours were being added to several students' timesheets. When the students received their paychecks, Keary said, they cashed them and gave the extra money back to their supervisor.
The public safety office released the embezzlement information Tuesday. About 8:30 that night, police responded to a 911 call from the survey center in Fraser Hall.
Police found an employee in the back of the office with self-inflicted cuts on the left wrist. They also found a letter on a computer screen announcing the employee's resignation from the institute.
Clark said she could not comment on the resignation letter because it was a personnel matter.
The institute, created in 1985, coordinates University research in business, economics and public policy.
