Editor's Note: This is the third in a series of four articles explaining the organization of the ASC executive committees.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! KU's student government public relations department spreads information, news and good will throughout the campus and state.
Carl Struby, Leawood junior and department secretary, said the committees in his department are oriented toward providing information and public relations services to the student.
ACCORDING WITH THE All Student Council Constitution the student body vice-president appoints the department secretary and all committee members of the Public Relations Department.
There are seven committees in the department.
The Public Relations committee publicizes the functions and activities of the ASC.
Sandy Fike, St. Louis, Mo. senior and committee chairman, said her committee acts as a liaison between the Council and the student. In addition they provide student information services.
For example, from a "brainstorm" formulated last summer the committee will begin publication this year of an annual handbook on KU's student government, she added.
"WE PICK UP ideas for programs from students, the ASC, Chancellor Wescoe or off the top of our heads." she said.
The Campus Chest is the only student organization specifically designated to collect money from students for distribution to the United Fund, the World University Fund and the Heart Association.
BILL RAMEY. Mankato junior and committee chairman, said the organizations receiving the funds are not always the same since the committee votes each year on where the money will be sent.

lines of communication between students and people off campus
THE STUDENT OPINION Poll performs polls for the ASC or for groups that request polls through the ASC.
BILL PORTER, Topeka junior and committee chairman, said they have contacted students from the major areas in Kansas, and set them up as correspondents for KU to their particular area. Most of them write monthly columns for their hometown newspapers.
Terry Monroe, Great Bend junior and committee chairman, said they plan to be more active this
year, holding polls approximately every two weeks, compared to the single poll they conducted last spring.
Al Martin, Shawnee Mission sophomore and chairman of the Student Facts and Statistics Committee, said they will publish this year a bi-monthly information sheet to enlighten students with facts about KU.
The Student Communications Board acts as the students' public relations bureau, establishing
"In this way Kansans learn about KU through prominent KU students of their area," he said.

MISS BEACHLER said she had been working on the switch board in Hashinger Hall, an upperclass women's residence hall, when the announcement was made over the public address system.
past experience in my family that blood is very expensive and that is probably one of the main reasons for my giving.
One of the volunteer workers, Mrs. Emily Sillix, who helped found the Douglas County blood bank program seven years ago, said the whole drive "has just been excellent."
"Even if Mike does not directly benefit from my blood, I know that someone will," he said. He decided to give blood when he read the article about the blood drive in Friday's issue of the University Daily Kansan.
"I've never given blood before. If I had an accident, I'd want people to help me by giving a pint of blood, so I am giving a pint of my blood," she said.
Jan Beachler, Overland Park senior, said one of the reasons she was donating blood, was that she had driven past the accident shortly after it had happened.
"Tom McCracken has done a wonderful job, and everyone has just been very willing, even the last ones, who have been here two hours. I have heard no complaints," she said.
SHE SAID THE students joked all the way through the operation. She said one boy cautioned them that his blood probably was more alcohol than anything.
"They do it to bolster their own courage. Several would say, 'Now that I've given, I want it back' and hold out their other arm." Mrs. Sillix said.
At the beginning of the process, the students' temperatures were taken. They were then given a small cup of orange juice and after waiting in another line, blood tests and pulse were taken.
Then a card recording their medical history was completed and signed by Dr. Brian Joseph, a volunteer doctor sent to the drive from Watkins Memorial Hospital. Then they gave their donations.
