Shirley Gilham, director of the center, attributes this to the fact that the service has been in existence for a year and that students are now familiar with it. "We made a point of letting the freshmen know of the availability of such a service during enrollment," she said.

The information Center was started in the spring of 1970 by a group of volunteers about the rumors spreading after the Kansas Union fire. It was originally started as a Rumor Center, and expanded into a general information center. The center is in Strong Hall and has a staff of three operators who only one operator works at a time. The center is open 24 hours a day and is closed only on Tuesday and Easter. And Thanksgiving Days.

Miss Gilham said that some of the calls recently concerned rumors about concerts.
"Before the Ike and Tina Turner concert we had people who said that Tina was sick and the concert had been cancelled. A popular rumor now seems to be going that KU for a concert," she said.
According to Miss Gilham a phone problem the center faces is people calling the phone numbers "the telephone operator" to the TU operator," she said.
"The information we have is mostly given to us by the various organizations on campus. We have a calendar that lists the various events that happen outside the University community that might interest the students. We carry information about baby sitters, restaurants and various other things in the community."
"The primary goal of the KU Information Center is to act as a reliable source of information for University community." she said.
Customer Benefits Small In'Golden Checks'Offer
A phone-soliciting firm has raised complaints in Lawrence lately.
Cha-da Industries, based at 123 A of the Ramada Inn, is reported to have been soliciting people by telephone, saying that they have been "selected" as eligible to receive $75 worth of retail items and one a $128 fee to cover production costs of a coupon booklet.
He also explained that what was supposed to have been about $75 worth of portrait photos and videos, and jobs on black and white photos
However, as one person explained after buying the booklet of "Lawrence Golden Checks," "of the savings only amount $450 a month that do not free inspections that do not include the cost of servicing."
Another dissatisfied customer. John Bagley, Leewood junior, after finding his booklet on a check he had issued to the company after his attempts to get a refund were ignored. He had been told that any dissatisfied customer was entitled to a full refund.
Among cooperating businesses listed are the Pizza Hut, Put Put Golf course, Sandy's, and Burger Chef.
KU Profs Study Effect Of Pollution on Plants
By DENNIS LINGLE Kansan Staff Writer
Air pollution has been a topic of great national concern lately. Consequently, several University of Kansas professors have teamed up to investigate the effects of pollution on plants and animals. A research team is called the Corridor Air Pollution Project (CAPP).
The spokesman for the project, B.G. Barr, professor of management at a university recently that the aim of CAPP was 'to study any subtle effects of air pollution, primarily on vegetation', within the region.
The "corridor" is the region along the Kansas River between Kansas City and Topeka and is approximately 45 to 60 miles wide.
The project, working on a $200,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, will be purely a fact-finding group.
"Polution is an emotional issue, so we want to apply disciplines to our work and just get the facts and bring this issue
Assembling the evidence for CAPP will be seven principal investigators from several inkeren from Belgium, plant physiologist; Joe Eaglemann, professor of meteorology; S. A. Morain, professor of geography; Rolf Borchen and Ron McGregor. FT. Ulaby, associate professor of electrical engineering.
Students will vote for candidates to fill several offices at an election October 9. Students who will decide on Student Body President David Miller's eight options for student president approve his proposal first.

According to Tuck Duncan, Millette, III, junior and advisor on the Student Senate Elections Committee, the offices to be filled by students in this capacity come from each of the Colleges within-a-College (CWC), the freshman
Many methods for gathering information are available to the CAPP team. One possibility is the use of light aircraft with 'remote sensing' cameras and infra-red lights. With the university's 'remote sensing' capabilities it would be possible to fly through the environment and measure the pollution on them over industrialized areas.
Another possibility is the use of a recently purchased instrument called "Environment I." With its size, the number of team members, the measure, polished particulates within a given space either on land or in flight.

Inter-Cultural Camp Planned for October
A communication gap is a problem any way you look at it, and the lack of communication to foreign students who come to the United States to live and get an education.
