INFORMATION SERVICES Everything you read in the papers about KSTC wasn't written by the collegels Office of Information Services. But it's a good bet that most of it was. Almost 5,000 news releases are written by the office each year and mailed to the press, radio and television stations, magazines and professional journals in Kansas and throughout the country. In addition, the office handles sports publicity. photography and most of the college's publications. , 1 ' Andy Fields types much of the information which passes through this office 30 The aim of all this is to spread the good news about KSTC to the far corners of the world. It's done through news releases concerning students, their activities and plansg faculty members, their innovative teaching methods, research projects and other activities of noteg the administration, their plans for the college, comments on academic programs, and efforts to improve the overall academic climate at the college. And it goes farther than that. News releases promote coming events, plays, concerts, lectures, recitals, watermelon feeds and bicycle rallies. They herald new degree programs, new courses and fields of study, unusual classes and individual study projects. They remind students and townspeople of holidays and warn them when classes are about to resume. They reveal the innermost thoughts lacademic-wiser of students, faculty and administrators in in-depth interviews on topical subjects. And they trumpet the glories of Hornet athletic teams, ring out like sounding brass the announcement of new buildings lthe PE complex. for examplel. and quietly tell, on occasion. of an enrollment decline or a cutback in funds fthe sadder news along with the good, but always the truth l. A great deal of the news release output concerns students. The Office of Information Services prepares and mails several thousand hometown stories about students visiting high school or community college students and others to hometown newspapers Received a scholarsh1p'l A story goes to your hometown paper whether its in Kansas or East Orange New Jersey A member of the band?
