864-3506 here could a student find a professor ' s office hours, the number of trees that were on cam- pus and how many dimples were on a golf ball without leaving the house? The University of Kansas Information Center at 864-3506 was the place to find the answers to these questions and hundreds more. More commonly known as KU Info, the information service center started in 1970 as a rumor control center for campus. Over time, students wanted to find out more than just ques- tions about the University of Kansas. KU Info became technologically advanced and used Internet newspaper articles and a system called Rolodex. We used it one time on a scavenger hunt to see who donated the 43rd bell in the Campanile, said Sherry Hoover, Parkville, Mo., sophomore. Jessica Zahn, Wamego junior, began working for KU Info and found her job to be anything but boring. I get general off-the-wall things, but they usually all related to sex somehow, Zahn said. I ' ve had people ask how long a pig ' s orgasm is or how long a kangaroo ' s orgasm is. When you type that on the Internet, you pull up some weird Web sites! Students trusted KU Info employees especially for information on classes. I called them for lab times and schedules, said Vincent Piraneo, Leavenworth sophomore. It seems like they know pretty much everything. Not only could one get information from KU Info over the phone, but they also had a Web site on the KU homepage. The site contained information about the University, cities in Kansas, the state of Kansas, the stock market, food, drinks and much more. 1 have friends that have graduated, moved to Chicago and they still call KU Info. said Jeff Potter, St. Louis senior.. By the way, your professor ' s office hours are Tuesdays from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., fall break doesn ' t start until 2001, there are 17,851 trees on campus and 366 dimples on a golf ball.

Real-World Training ometimes the best preparation for a career is through an internship, and University of Kansas students often chose to spend their semester, summer, winter or spring break at an internship. Every fall, the search for summer internships began- just weeks after the semester kicked off. Students painstakingly put together or updated a resume, carefully proofreading it. They signed up for interviews, shopped for business clothes and studied up on potential employers. Chris Stoppel, Washington senior, was an accounting intern at Koch Industries in Wichita last summer. He researched pipeline freight rates, confirmed they were being paid for and updated the financial models. Stoppel said internships were a great way to meet other people. Koch Industries has 15 students from Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma as summer interns. Stoppel said he kept in touch with several of his fel- low interns even after the summer ended. I think it helps you realize what ' s actually out there, and what you might actually like to do, Stoppel said. With Koch, I found something I like to do that I didn ' t think I ' d be interested in doing. It helped me decide on a career and what I will look for in my first job. He learned about the company at a campus career fair during the fall and signed up for an interview through the business career center. A few weeks after his interview, the company offered Stoppel an internship. Not all internships were awarded so quickly. Some companies accepted applications until the first of the year and did not decide who received the internships until the first of the year. Other companies accept- ed and notified recipients in the spring. Mindie Miller, Lawrence graduate student, completed a two-week, for-credit reporting internship at the Lawrence Journal-World during winter break of 1999. Her editors liked what they saw and offered her a summer internship. Miller said she gained confidence and valuable experience from her internship. She wrote at least one, if not two, stories a day as a full-time reporter. Even though she had been a reporter and campus editor for the University Daily Kansan, her internship gave her a different perspective. It was good real-world experience to be in another newsroom other than the Kansan Miller said. It ' s just nice to see what it ' s like at a professional operation, and it ' s also nice to talk to veteran reporters who have been on the job for awhile.
