Washington D.C.
KU volunteer readers won the Best Newspaper Reading Award and
the Best Short Stories Series Award.
Elinor P. Schroeder, distinguished professor of law, and Harlan
Roedel, retired University Relations staff member, were the award-winning
readers for the Best Newspaper Reading Award. They read the Kansas
City Star and the Topeka Capital-Journal for the Breakfast Table
Times.
Paul G. Friedman, associate professor of communication studies,
and his children, Joy and Glenn, won the Best Short Series Award.
The Friedmans read "Nothing but the Truth" a book by
