BRIEF: U. sets up phone hotline on Gulf war

The voice mail system, which can be reached by calling 573-3000 from a touch-tone phone, lists phone numbers for campus counseling services and religious organizations, and also details upcoming Red Cross blood drives and campus events relating to the crisis in the Middle East. "[It was created so that] there will be a systematic method of obtaining information for the University community, particularly for students," Executive Assistant to the Vice Provost for University Life Barbara Cassel said last night. -- Michael Sirolly
