University Relations informs off-campus world
By Bengt Ljung Of the Kansan staff
University Relations is an obscure office to most students, although it penetrates almost every aspect of the University of Kansas.
"I've heard of it, but I don't know what it does," Eddie Camacho, Topeka junior, said westerday.
Steve Crooks, Shawne sophomore, said, "I think it's in Strong. It sounds like it would coordinate relations with other universities."
University Relations works in
silence and does not get much recognition. But when a hometown newspaper all of a sudden publishes honors and awards received by students, it is the work of the public relations branch of KU.
Carol Leffler, assistant to the director of University Relations, said yesterday, "Most students probably don't even know we exist. But we'll make sure their hometown knows when they graduate."
A lot of the work of the office goes unnoticed. The academic catalog, the campus telephone book or informative brochures only raise eyebrows when they are missing.
Crooks said, "I always wondered who made those brochures. I thought they grew on trees."
Students walk by the work of University Relations every day on campus just as they walk by its location.

"Most of our work is not geared toward the students." Leffler said. High school students, parents, faculties, and teachers are the targets for its information.
"We're the information center of the University and tr' to increase understanding what goes on here," she said.
This task includes a multitude of responsibilities — from coaching faculty members to deal with inquisitive journalists to writing and

Five men hurt in warehouse frame collapse

By a Kansan reporter
Three carpenters working on the roof and two carpenters inside the structure were taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment of
injuries received when 57 trusses collapsed.
All five men are from the Kansas City area.
"We don't do any hard-core recruitment for KU. That's the office of admissions. We are more involved in enrichment activities."
One of the men, Robert Leach, was listed yesterday afternoon in serious
condition at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. He was being treated for trauma to the chest and back and a contusion to the right lung, a nursing supervisor said.
