It's very easy to use. All you do is say the name of the person or department you are looking for and let the computerized voice on the other end do the work.

Homecoming week starts with Race Ipsa run or walk
The fifth annual Race Ipsa will be 9 am, tomorrow.
a.m. tomorrow
Race Ipsa is a 5K run or walk held in conjunction with the Spirit Sprint, which kicks off Homecoming week.
The Student Bar Association at the University School of Law is sponsoring the race. The money raised from the 2004 Race Ipsa will go to help the United Way of Douglas County.
Registration on the morning of the race will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the parking lot east of the Burge Union, 1601 Irving Hill Road.
The race will start at the Burge Union and will be conducted primarily on the University campus.
Leo Prieto, Garden City law student, said 50 people had signed up for the race by Wednesday. Prieto said he thought there would be about 100 runners and walkers after everyone had signed up. The race benefits a lot of people, Prieto said.
The course is different from last year's course because runners do not begin by running up a steep hill.
"Anytime we get a chance to contribute in some way and make a differ ence, that goes a long way." he said.

On-site registration is $15 and race T-shirts will be available while supplies
last. People can register at the Student Bar Association office on the ground floor of the University School of Law. The overall male and female winners and runners-up of the race will be awarded prizes.
